Root Rooting and warranties

[jsp_1983]

If I root my Hero, I understand that it voids my warranty.

Is it possible, then, to restore the phone to how my network supplied it to me, if I need to return it for repair, without them knowing that it had previously been rooted?

Also... if I do root my phone and/ or upgrade Android on it, what happens to my paid-for applications? Does the Market automatically know which ones I've paid for and allow me to download them again?

Yes. See this thread for more discussion.

Purchases are tied to your Google account, so provided you sign-in with the same details you can redownload paid apps without charge.
