Does Rockbox void my Warranty

<< < (3/7) > >>

Mikerman:
And please note, as stated above:  if you completely delete Rockbox from your player, there would be no signs of it upon which to deny warranty service, presumably.

nick_karstedt:
Information can be recovered in part, but if they attempted that would be:

1. Illegal
2. A very very long process

Llorean:
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."

JonathanHull:
You could "shred" the files (securely delete with multiple random or pattern overwrites), but as said above this should not be necessary seeing as a recovery would be illegal in the first place.

Besides that; I'm guessing it's not the rockbox.ipod that would void the warranty since it's just a file stored on the harddrive (wich i THINK you are allowed to do even when using an ipod).
It's the bootloading part that is a bit in the gray zone?
