Root Rooting and warranty

[palimmo]

Hello!

I bought this phone one month ago.. with Android 2.1 in it.

I would like to try to upadte to newer version of Android... but I'm frightened that I will loose the warranty.
So..:
before starting the "rooting adventure", can I do something (backup.. or similar) to restore my phone as it was in the beginning...in order to avoid problem with the warranty?

Is it safe?

Thanks in advance!

You can always unroot your phone with the app you use to root it, I used z4root for mine and there is a button to unroot.

when you install a custom OS, if you install recovery first you can do a full backup of your current ROM then if you need to return it under warrenty you can restore the backup and unroot so you should be fine, before you do unroot though make sure you delete the recovery partition as well.

Rooting is always safe, all it does it run an exploit in android to give us super user rights, its what you do after its rooted that can cause problems because you have complete access to android, so just be careful about what you do after you root, for example unless you are flashing a new version, dont delete your system partition, because you will have no OS on it lol

Edit: if you do need to downgrade back to your 2.1 backup after the restore through recovery boot into fastboot (with USB connected of course) and use this program to remove recovery and fastboot http://kulkoff.com/swift/downloads/SwiftBootloaderBuilder.zip
