It depends a lot on your warranty, and how the person who's supposed to be honoring it chooses to interpret your warranty.Your best bet is to read it yourself, and/or contact your warranty provider and ask them. But, chances are the answer is going to be "Yes, it does void your warranty", and it certainly does in the case of the standard iRiver warranty, as well Cowon has refused service to those who've installed Rockbox.
The process of installing Rockbox is actually safer than an Apple firmware upgrade, and Rockbox should not be able to damage the hardware in any way.
Yes. Even if you remove Rockbox, your warranty would still be voided. It's the act of installing it that voids it, in most cases, not whether it's on there or not.Generally it's a good idea to read warranties for yourself and see what they cover. Remember, we here are not lawyers, nor are we Apple, so we're in no way qualified to give you advice on either what the warranty actually means, or what Apple intends with it.
Actually, they could just undelete the files on the disk, and there you go, Rockbox.ipod. Whether it's illegal or not depends entirely on the conditions of the service contract. It's just a case of "It's highly unlikely they'll ever bother to undelete files on the HD looking for Rockbox so they have an excuse not to give service."
