Ive been looking for a while and no one is actually sure about voiding the warranty. Has anyone done it and sent it in? Can some one explain about cid unlocking a little. Reading the other posts just gets me (and im sure others) confused

Let me make it simple... CID Unlock voids your warranty. period. The question comes in that when you try to do warranty work is whether they will notice or not. I've heard some say they don't, and others have said they do. So in a nutshell, just understand that you ARE VOIDING your warranty. You may or may not be "caught" though if you try to get warranty work, but you made the decision to do something that voids it, so you have to live with that choice.

If you can't read and understand this post:

then you have no business doing this procedure. Dr. P has written an excellent post that takes you through the process step by step. Very simple and even tells you what to look for as you do it. There is no point trying to explain it further as it would be the exact same post as Dr. P's since it lays it out step by step in full detail.

I'm not aware of installing the newest (2.26?) TMobile ROM unlocking anything. You need to do the CID Unlock procedure and then finish by installing a rom like the TMobile 2.26 official rom. But jsut installing this rom doesn't unlock anything, just gets you to a current stable base to work off of for doing custom roms (very important step that too many people seem to be skipping).
