No, they're not...
Brush up on the Magnus-Moss act...
US Code - Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312
IOTW, you can't deny a warranty claim based on the alteration of the product UNLESS that alteration caused the failure. Changing software will NOT cause physical damage (yes, there are exceptions, I know).
Note only can they not deny the warranty claim, but they have to PROVE it was your modification that caused the damage for it to NOT be covered.
All the 'oh, well you put tint on your car, so you voided your warranty, it doesn't matter that your engine blew up' is complete BS.
So is Sprint not wanting to replace a phone claiming software invalidates the warranty.
