[Q] How to trick the phone manufacturers? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,I hope to solve my problem.I read threads regarding this but couldnt understand.
So here it is,I got a micromax A87 phone a month ago,then I rooted it.I removed the manufucturers RAM hungry apps.Everything was fine,but from yesterday on call(both incoming and outgoing) I cant here the voice,but they can hear mine.Though I can hear them on speaker and headphone.
So now I want to give to company service center so what should I do?
1.Flash the phone with custom rom or
2.Unroot and install all those preinstalled manufacturer apps
I would like to do the second method.So my question is in which method I can fake that device was not rooted so I can reclaim my warranty? suggest if there is another method and how does the manufacturer come to know if i rooted the phone?

Try a factory custom rom. Then remove root. Most manfacturers dont care though.

Well put them back then. And then find a zip or an app that unroots the phone.

Unroot your phone and give it to service center.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium

There are two solutions
1.you could find another member with your phone and get the apps that you deleted and unroot and give it to service!
Or
2. You could flash stone random rom and brick you device completely and give it back to service saying that it won't start up and hope they don't find out!
Personally I'd suggest you go for 1

U have a hardware problm
Why would they count the number of stock apps
Just unroot
And do a hard reset
Dun worry

Regain warranty for wat?
Sent from GT-S5830 using Grif's Cyanogenmod
We really need more details on what you mean by that.
Here's what I assume:
Your device is bricked > Follow the unbricking tutorial
Your device has a custom ROM > Flash back to the regular firmware from samfirmware or the xda development forum
or restore if you have created a backup.
Just make it look the way it was when you bought it

You lose your warranty only if they know that you are using custom firmware. Just revert back to Stock GB rom?

If you want an official update. Use Kies. Else go to samfirmware.com and search around for your product ID.

Sometimes this fixes it: go to applications/manage, find Market
-clear cache
If this does not fix it, you can also try clearing data and/or downgrading it.
check if your date settings are correct

It seems to me that he/she is NOT alone, it maybe a bug from Google or SE, please a couple of days to see if it works again. I got a lesson, upgraded it to .62 fw, flash it back to .58, rooted again, installed ROM Manager, upgraded back to .62 to let Market works till now.
I spent one whole night to overcome the problem, you may wish to wait for a while.
Thanks for replies.
I'm currently on 62 firmware, unrooted.
And all settings are correct.
I also recently clearing all caches app,
but still the same.
I'll try to reset later, if not work,
then i'll try to unlock BL n flash other ROM.
Thank u all...

Without rooting it, you may still wish to do you yourself an experiment to download ROM Manager in order to get the OTA , to see if it works by Wifi. Remove that manager afterward. It won't harm, will it?
BTW, don't forget to let us know the outcome.

Pretty sure you already need root to use mobile odin.

There is no way. For the first time you have to use a computer.
mobile odin requires root.No other way?

just over pc or mac! no other way trust me
Yep. Initial root requires a computer.
If you really need to root right now, download Odin and CF-Root on your phone and ask someone to borrow their computer or use a public computer. Move the files to the computer and root it in less than one minute and you're done!
i have a few questions maybe you guys can help... so here we go:
when you root with odin, it unlocks the phone giving you su right. does this also change your rom?
how is the launcher different than the rom? difference between flashing rom and kernal?
last one... when you install a custom rom, can you delete it if there are bugs to reinstall a different one or use the stock?

You should root your phone, unlock bootloader and install some custom rom. I bet you'll feel the difference

Repair/update your phone with pc companion. It will reinstall your phone's firmware. That will delete all your installed apps but sd card content will remain intact. Dont forget to backup your contacts

Also You can try to reinstall force closing apps, but the best way is to install custom ROM. Stock one sucks, convince Your friend for other ROM

Thats the fun part in Samsung phones encryption is removable without resetting it.
Thats why i need confirmation that it is working rooting and encryption on an normal stock rom Form Samsung ????
I cant belive that there is nobody using this setup ! Encryption shut be essential for evry body ?
