if something messes up with the phone and u need to take it back i bet all of you will return it back to original settings and go get it fixed. i seriously doubt u high and mighty ppl will say" well i rooted and the warranty is void, its was my choice and im taking responsibility!!!. i guess im SOL".....yeah right i doubt it. |
Hmmm... well let me say this in the best way possible.
After doing much research I went to Sprint and updated MY PHONE. When I updated MY PHONE I bought the HTC Hero.
I am not leasing MY PHONE. Nor am I renting MY PHONE. I purchased MY PHONE.
Because it is MY PHONE I can do many things with it. I can loan out MY PHONE. Or, for that matter, I can even rent out MY PHONE.
I can add apps to MY PHONE and I can delete apps from MY PHONE.
After months of usage and reading, researching, re-reading, re-researching I decided that MY PHONE wasn't quite operating at the fullest potential.
Now then, since it is MY PHONE I decided to root MY PHONE. After rooting MY PHONE I put the Fresh 1.1 rom on MY PHONE. After that I put the Gumbo Kernel on MY PHONE. And then after that I put SetCPU on MY PHONE.
I don't like MY PHONE anymore. I LOVE MY PHONE now.
I haven't had an issue with MY PHONE after rooting, etc.
Now then. And please pay attention because this is the important part.
If MY PHONE goes on the fritz, then I need to research the reason that MY PHONE is acting up.
Is it a "rooted" problem, or is it a "stock" problem.
I have read about many people having some issues with "rooted" phones and going to the devs about it. The devs have worked hard and got the problems figured out and solved.
To this date: I do not know of anyone that PROPERLY rooted their phone and had to return the phone because it wasn't working right.
There may be some out there.. but after extensive reading / researching, I haven't read any.
SO therefore, I can unequivocally say at this point:
That if MY PHONE goes on the fritz and it is a "root" problem I won't take it to Sprint. I will go to the devs' boards and get it figured out.
However, if MY PHONE goes on the fritz because of the stock problem, I will take it back to Sprint after returning it back to stock condition.
I can't speak for others, but if they ask me if I have rooted MY PHONE I will be honest and tell them.
But in the meantime.. I will operate MY PHONE the way I want to operate MY PHONE.
