Strange.
When I install _any_ software on my Symbian powered Nokia phone neither Nokia nor my carrier void the warranty.
I can get a Maemo (or MeGo) phone and there's a documented process to grant myself root privileges.
I get a warning that I may seriously bork the phone, but that doesn't void the warranty on the hardware.
- jacquesm 17y agoThat's applications level software I presume ? What if you flash it with a new boot-up image, will they still honour the warranty then ?
- CaptainZapp 17y ago(both of you) have a point, of course. Then again I don't need to pull such stunts in order to install (any) userland software on my phone.
- illumin8 17y agoNokia wouldn't allow you to flash your 3G baseband firmware. That is what SIM unlocks do for iPhone. Once you've flashed it, you've lost all FCC approval because the FCC approves a specific hardware and baseband firmware combination.
