A quick question about d/l the 2.17 RUU
 

i updated my 6800 and the update was sucessful...but now when i go to
start/settings/device information down there @ the bottom ive noticed my sprint username has changed.....would this alter any warranty/insurance i have from sprint.....

using common knowledge id say no just bcuz u should have the choice to change ur name ....but being a noob from hell id still like to ask....

future thanks on any info


BTW....this site fuggin rocks.....i.e i was this close to taking my mogul back until i stumbled across ppcgeeks.....thanks guys for all the help already.....=D>

my friend, it's more than common knowledge... it's common sense as well which plays a big part of it, but that is a good question indeed. i know it will affect the warranty if you put new hardware in your current device, but as for flashing roms, from 2.09 to 2.17, that shouldn't be a major issue, so anything that could be flashed back to its original ROM version can't possibly go through any issues with warranty.

-now, have i answered this question to the best of my ability?-

glad to look you out anytime.

oh yeah, and also note that the warranty is only temporary (1 year), but the insurance is indefinate as long as you're paying $7 a month, BUT you're still good either way even though you just got the mogul.

thanks appreciate i got my mogul 2 days ago i just called sprint and got the $7 a month and while i was talking to her i was like "say if i was to accidentally "stab " the screen ....(which in no way could be accidental...lol)would you guys replace it and she said yezzir!! lol so no matter what hacking i do if i ever need a new 1 and dont want them knowing what i did to it i could just damage the fuck out of it so they cant even see what the fuck i was doing lol......thanks agn

well, hacking your mogul with software is different from taking it apart and doing some modification with hardware which voids the warranty, but the insurance is a backup. oh, and even if you stick your mogul in the microwave for 3 seconds and it suffered some internal damage, they won't know what happened to it. :twisted:
