Sending my phone back to O2 for repairs

---

Proximity Sensor not working now...

Anyone done this before after they've rooted the phone?

What preparations did you guys do?

- Unroot?

etc etc?

Thanks!

I didn't cheat the manufacturer and took blame for messing up my phone by doing stuff I shouldn't have been doing without the required knowledge and paid for the repairs.

Well knowing O2 they're send it off to some third party company, i sent my x10 off (it was rooted) and it came back with unrooted O2 firmware

Why create 3 new threads when you'd probably get all the answers in one?

Anyway, look in the dev forum for a thread with the title "Carrier branded firmwares". Inside you'll find O2's firmware for the UK.

I've done the same for my previous O2 device, I replaced the phone 1 week ago, as used to have a problem with quality of the front speaker.
I tried to unroot by flashing the official kernel, root is gone but the apps were still there!
so I flashed the whole firmware which restored the whole device to default, then I've done master reset voilaaaaaaa
p.s. dont worry about reseting the counter m8 they dont care for it hehe
If u need any help please dont hesitate to ask

How long did O2 take to repair the phone?

Why do you guys like intermediaries to service your phones? I bought my SGS2 on a carrier, if a have some problem with it i'll just take it to a Samsung repair center, not my carrier...
I've done this multiple times with my or my friends phones... Be it Nokia, Samsung or HTC. Manufacturers don't really care if the phone is unbranded of unlocked.
My previous phone was an HTC TyTn, some months after after i bought it, the camera stopped working. My phone was running a custom ROM, was unlocked and even had a custom bootloader (HardSPL). The HTC guys told me that the only thing i need to do was flash the original HTC bootloader, because their flashing equipment doesn't work with HardSPL. Then i came locked again and with my carrier ROM. When i got home, i unlocked it again and unbrand it.

With Nokia, things are even better, because unlike HTC/Samsung, unlocking Nokias costs some money because they need some specialized boxes for unlocking, not just a USB cable and some program. I normally go to Nokia Care Center and kindly ask them if they don't mind not locking the phone again, and generally they don't mind...

The only thing you need to make sure at phone repair center: always talk with a Man, they tend to be sensible to this sort of things... Womans are always "by the book"... LOL
