Help Thump thump thum.... oh sh$#!

[AlexMason]

Well i was sitting on my couch the other day and i heard the washer making a weird noise so i went to call me grandma to figure out if it was normal... i couldn't find my phone. I had remembered i forgot to remove my phone from my pocket and i washed my phone.

Now my question is...
My phone dried out and will turn on but only gets to velocity screen and hangs. I have to send my phone to Asurion. I payed the replacement fee... will i get in trouble for having it rooted? I already got my replacement phone and everything. So what will happen?

Have you tried to get into recovery? I would try to reinstall a rom before i was to send it in.

Very very very doubtful. You clearly drowned it, and clearly admitted it. Warranty and insurance are very different. You can smash your phone with a hammer and insurance still helps you.

Besides, it's very obvious the software didn't cause your problem.

There's close to no chance they'll ever care about what software you had on it. Worst case, take the battery out and say you lost it---insurance covers that too.

Asurion could care less what ya do with the phone honestly as long as you send it in and pay the fee. they Dont care. But they're very helpful and prompt with shipping.
