You also have very valid points and I agree with you 100%. BUT and there is always a BUT. When CUSTOMERS start RETURnING rooted/unlocked phones BECAUSE they claim they are BROKEN or whatever this is what gives the companys the motivation to INVESTIGATE these things too see if they are the CAUSE of the problems and even if they arent it gives them an excuse to blame it on. When we all know that most unlocked and hacked devices are that way to RUN Better than stock, things get fixed after unlocking them. But as I said it gives them the motivation to start investigations etc etc. It takes LESS TIME to RELOCK than to UNLOCK for most items people just do us all the favor spend the two minutes relock before going to return your stuff... Pretty simple not hard not asking to much


ps. Sorry donating and contributing doesnt give you the right to return things unlocked does it? Im sorry seems like your using that as an excuse to return unlocked. I'm sure the dev much rather his work be a bit more secure than to get a small donation

I was having connection errors when I tried to go back to stock so here is what I did.

Power off the phone, and boot with the volume down button pressed.

Double click the exe file on the stock rom, get to the window right before it checks to see if the phone is connected.

In the initial menu on the phone select the fastboot option in the menu, then plug the usb into the phone.

Then follow the directions on the computer screen

@imtjnotyou
@booboo

No I'm mad because of the guys attitude. I expect him to do his job but his attitude pissed me off. Don't act like you would be ok with it. And I'm well aware of the warranty being voided and hey booboo whats your deal? why is it that all of your posts are rude obnoxious bs?
