Unlocking bootloader and warranty...

---

The bootloader unlock says pressing unlock bootloader will void you warranty.. is it possible to lock the bootloader back in the future and if so will the Nexus One still know its bootloader has been previously unlocked?

Im kinda uncomfortable with voiding the warranty on my 530$ phone...

Why does google even do that anyway? You cant do any permanant damage to your phone by changing ROMs...

Tell that to the many people who bricked their G1.

You could try the unlock code and just change "unlock" to "lock" and see what happens. Or, even try and run the unlock one again, see if you get the popup to not continue and see if that relocks it. That's all I can think of.

Ps. I'm not saying either of these options work, they're just ideas. I take no responsibility if you try these and jack your phone.

OUCH..hopefully, you are not one of them.

you CAN NOT brick your android phone by installing a ROM. you CAN brick it by installing a radio or SPL, which is NOT required in the nexus one at all (since the bootloader itself gives you the option to unlock it)

I am well aware of this but unlocking is the first step down that road. When it is locked the potential for damage is more contained. (For the record m G1 has never been bricked. I wait a few weeks to let others take the risks before I jump in, which usually saves me grief.)

Ah the days of the G1 I was kinda hoping that the methods needed to bring the nexus to freedom would be the same as the G1. I spent many-an-hour having a good laugh at those who were too impatient to bother reading certain directions.

I did love my G1 and come tomorrow, I plan to fully love my N1.

That's not true at all... i'm assuming when you say "that road" you mean the road to "brick-dom" and that's just plain wrong. It's not like your unlocked nexus' spl's gonna go flashing radio's and spl's on its own now. It's all about your decisions, so your decision to unlock your bootloader, is independent from your decision to brick your phone.

Regardless, you couldn't brick the nexus the traditional way even if you wanted to... you wouldn't be flashing any different spls
