You loose the warranty once you modify the system, it's doesn't matter if bootloader is unlocked or nah, but you can root and if you want to go back to warranty, only flash you carrier firmware, I did that, I don't know how's you carrier working.
"protect consumers from deceptive warranty practices.*"
Calm down bro don't take it seriously and you are correct that Sony is providing good software/hardware why should we mess with it I want to add those port apps from z2 but it needs root so I'm not installing it anyway
Issue is that after locking an flashing stock, we should still have DRM licences. It is stupid to loose them by unlocking bootloader. We bought the software with the phone. I do not loose my microsoft licence if I install linux and then I put windows back.It does not protect the consumer from abuse claims. But rather instances of hardware failure not being covered because of an installed app. Or the nv flash going bad because of root.
In easier terms let's use a car as an example. If your manufacture says you have to change your oil at said interval they cannot deny your claim to a bad wheel bearing or your compressor going out etc.
Another example is with computers. When I used to support them for one of the big manufacturers we would not support them if they installed any other os. But once they reinstalled them we would.
So while rooting and unlocked bootloaders CAN damage things you can change the burden of proof and you still have rights.
So yes I am from America, and I modify almost everything. Hardly use warranties. But am by no means stupid. So please keep your assumptions out of this discussion
