Why don't you just try? It's not like they'll call the cops on you; the worst they can do is refuse the return. It's also very unlikely that the associates know how to get into the bootloader in the first place, so it probably won't even come up.

You just have to look for a basic stock rom and flash that. As long as looks like basic stock, the reps in the store won't notice (or look for) evidence that it's rooted. Carriers (especially T-Mobile and Sprint) generally don't care.

Can I just flash my backup I did a backup before flashing the venom Rom?

I'm saying after they have accepted it.. can they call me like "sir, HTC just called us about the phone you just returned..and you are going to be hit with a fee" see something like that..?

I dont think that would happen, I have returned a few mytouch phones way back when after having custom roms and nothing has happened. That was many years ago tho and I am not sure if HTC has changed any policies on that since then.

I just went in to tmobile just to figure out if they had any in stock., spoke with a salesman about the restock fee...and he said there is no voiding it unless, they run a diagnosis on the phone but it's unlocked and tampered...should I take the chance and tell them to run it?
