Does rooting void the T-Mobile warranty?

[WhiteEyedWonder]

And if it doesn't, what's the best way to root the SGS4g safely and quickly?

Or should I just stay with the software the SGS4g already has?

 

[MotoMudder]

yes it will void your warranty... if they find out.

IMO samsung touchwiz sucks. search around, and see if its for you.

Generally, rooting and such renders your warranty voidable--meaning the carrier/manufacturer must elect to void the warranty, which they will most likely do if (1) they find out, and/or (2) it causes the defect that's at the root (no pun intended) of your issues.

I'm mainly concerned if it'll stop them from replacing a phone if the screen cracks or something, if the rooting isn't the issue then will they still replace the phone?

And is there a place that just lists a bunch of roms for the SGS4g?

I would HIGHLY recommend taking it back to stock if you need to return it. I know some who have gotten away with an unlocked bootloader, but really, play it smart.

Is it easy to get the SGS4g back to stock after rooting?

Yes very easy you just need the stock factory image and a software to flash the image to your phone to like Oden.

I have rooted my phone, bricked it, and restored it to stock but be sure to reset the flash counter with triangle away!
I also have an sgs4 and have restored it to stock, I got nervous when had a 600$ phone that couldn't do anything but sit there like a brick. But just put in the stock factory image with oden it will take a while to download but its worth it!
