I know a bunch of us out here have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of a custom recovery, be it cwm, twrp, or philiz. After having root for several weeks and modding my note 3 the way I like it, I am wondering if there is a recovery method that will void my warranty but is already available. I realize many may not like this option, but at the same time I'm sure many like myself feel it's worth the tradeoff. Given the fact with a custom recovery and backups, many of the issues that may occur needing repair, outside of hardware failures obviously, can be fixed or restored via cwm. Many if the software bugs or issues that sometimes occur can be fixed via flashing stock after clean wipe or in the future a custom rom. So I'm all for a warranty proof recovery but at this point I'd much rather give up my warranty without hesitation than go without custom recovery.

What about you guys, is it just me or are there others around here that would do the same? And please if anyone has succeeded in flashing cwm or twrp and broke warranty let me and others know, who are willing to do the same as most if not all threads are talking about warranty proof recovery.

Thanks

Your warranty was void the moment you rooted your phone. A custom recovery wouldn't make a difference at this point.

Thats true to a certain extent that you cam flash back to stock and regain your official status reinstating warranty....but this serves only to further my point...to read post after post stating the hold up on breaking thru the locked bootloader is Knox flash counter and flash counter makes no sense to me. We know the risks and gauge the rewards before rooting. So to go without a viable means of backup in custom recovery becomes that much more annoying.

And to the posts made prior about t mobile phones on att....The only reason I went with att is the fact I don't wanna give up the 40s and 50s mbs lte speed which I get on att. Same reason I haven't ordered a second note 3 international. But am tempted with each passing day we go without custom recovery I must admit.
