Does rooting void your warranty?

[Guest ube_astard]

I have to send my phone back to Acer as there is a fault developed where the internal speaker doesnt work on telephone calls. They have requested I send it to them. However I have rooted my phone and used a custom rom, does anyone know how they will respond to this when they receive it?

Regards

4.1- How to flash a .bin file

As requested from many users of this forum, i'll post a clear and brief guide about flashing bins on our beloved devices. So, lets start with the first step!

1- Download this tool: Acer A1 DL TOOL

and the drivers from Acer's support site , then install them;

2- Extract the zip file into Desktop

3- Move the .bin file in the ACER_A1_Bin subfolder placed into A1_DL_Tool_[intra][single]_v3.100_20091027 folder

4- Connect your phone (it must be turned ON) to your PC

5- Run the “ACER Download Tool [single] executable (If you're using Vista/7 you must run it in compatibility mode,with administrator privileges)

6- Click the BROWSE button and search for the .bin file you previously put into ACER_A1_Bin folder

7- If you're not using .bin files provided by Acer, you may incurr in the INCORRECT MD5 alert. Just don't care about it and proceed to the following step.

8- Click START, and remember, DO NOT stop the flashing process, DO NOT unplug your device, or you'll have a very expensive and NOT WORKING piece of plastic and steel on your desk.

Hope this will be useful!

After I started this thread I did notice some one who said they had returned their flashed phone to Acer and they still repaired it.

What concerns me now is one of the screws under the battery cover is missing though I have never opened this phone.

search a similar screw and fix it

Had a good look at weekend at other phones not in use, couldnt find anything like it. Its not a phillips but has looks like it needs a special screw

driver.

Anyway Ive just noticed the bin on the phone is the 4.002.14.EMEA.GEN1_A22F_A_256 which is an official one I believe.
