A few weeks ago the phone could no longer get a gps fix.

I returned my phone under warranty and got an email today that they had found "a bootloader and broken motherboard", and that they susspect that rooting caused the damage.

I guess they should have said that they had found an unlocked bootloader, a rooted phone and custom rom probably caused it...

But do you think that it is possible for unlocking/rooting/custom rom to break the gps on a motherboard?

(note: in the EU rooting and such does noit void warranty)
