Same doubt here...rooting, Asus detection and warranties...
Well, I got my TF700 yesterday, and I have the same doubt of T3ej4y: does Asus have a way to check if our devices are rooted? I want to use the services of cloud and other stuff from Asus (the ones bundled with the tablet), but want also to root (can't feel safe without Titanium Backup, that's why root). So, there's doubts:
1) If I use the services of Asus, can they detect that my tablet is rooted and then void my warranty? Or, if I don't use them, they will never know about my root? (so, the detection would only work for Asus registered customers in any service, Asus users with devices deliberately registered? Or not?)
2) Does Asus detect as unlocked and voids warranties of BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED devices or ROOTED ONLY devices? I don't want to play with the bootloader right now, so if Asus have resrictions (and detect as unlocked) only the devices that got bootloader unlock, it would be fine to me by now. But I need to know for sure, before doing something I could regret later...
3) More, actually: does Asus void warranties of rooted devices at all ? (explaining: if I send my rooted tablet for repair under the warranty, and the first thing that the Asus tech assistence guy notice is that my device is rooted, can he deny my warranty because that?)
4) And, also: is possible to unroot the device if necessary?
Sorry by all this bunch of noob-ish doubts. I am very thankful for what Pretoriano80 is doing for us, new users of TF700, and XDA is doing for Android users in general. I feel safer and happier with you guys around, seriously :good:
