Does Rockbox void my Warranty
caskey_91:
Hey quick question.
Does installing rockbox onto my apple ipod void my warrranty by any chance.
I own a 5th generation Video ipod. (30 gig).
An answer would be nice because on some sites it has said it doesn't and on others it has said it does.

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.

this is probably a stupid question but would rock box cause any problems to my ipod that would make it so the ipod would need to be replaced?
Llorean:
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.

Alright because I had read on some sites that it can damage it due to it being in developmental stages, etc. I just don't want this thing to trash my warranty.
Another question too. Say my problem is due to Apple Firmware but I still have rock box is my warranty still voided?
