My only problem is that you can't unlock the bootloader without notifying Motorola so they can void your warranty.
As much as I want to root my Moto X4 to get the notification LED back, I'm waiting until my warranty expires next fall before doing so.
- icebraining 8y agoWhere do you live? I'm pretty sure that one can't renounce the mandatory warranty for stuff bought in the EU, so if you live here, you should be OK (but don't blame me if they're hard to convince!).

" the injured party must prove that: damage took place, your product was defective, the defect and the damage were linked." "You bear no liability if you can prove that: he defect causing the damage did not exist when the product was placed on the market"
- icebraining 8y agoFair point, but that page is not related to the warranty, only to damages caused to people or other things. Personally, I think it's unlikely that my phone will harm someone or destroy over 500€ of stuff, so I'm not concerned.
- Zeebrommer 8y agoThat sounds quite reasonable. If you break something due to your own modifications (hw/sw), the manufacturer should not be held accountable. The trouble is of course proving that is was not due to the mod if the device breaks.
