If you had to pay for motherboard replacement, that means you wasnt able to turn the phone on? If its that, they couldnt prove your phone was rooted. If you were able to turn it on, you should simply flash stock and send it to repair center. So they wouldnt notice that phone was rooted. It is not for sure, that root your device made it to be imei NULL.

My D850 has been rooted for 2 months my F400S was rooted until I dropped it and my F460S is also rooted. I've never had an issue with imei null error on any of my G3's. Did you do anything that could have caused this?

efs doesn't wipe by itself, if you have IMEI nul that means efs has been corrupted or deleted which is usually due to you doing a mod incorrectly. None of the current root methods will touch efs.

So as I though and I wrote before. Root is not failure for IMEI Null. So, he should just flash kdz to stock and turn it back. In that way he could say it happen by itself, thats it. No paying for new motherboard.

    that is why every thread about rooting suggest to backup your efs partition.
