    I think not. If firmware of phone is the same when you got it, then No.

    Nice day

    When I Was New To All These Stuff, I Flashed My k790 With k818 Firmware And It Lost Its Signals. I Didnt Knew About GDFS So I Mistakenly Flashed A GDFS From My Friends Phone And My Phone Turned Into A Brick. Although It Was My Own Mistake But The Company Swaped My Phone With A New One.
    In Short, Warranty Doesn't Voids After Flashing.

    If the company finds out the firmware has been modified, they may void your warranty. The question is whether they will spend the time to find that out...

    Flashind definitely voids the warranty. The question is wether the company finds out you modified the phone.

    I don`t get it why it voids the warranty.

    If you use the same cust pack for your region => same fs and put a main generic !?
    You could say you upgraded it through SEUS, and I do not think that upgrading it would void it.
    If you modify the drivers ( cam,sound ) thats another thing IMO, and that should void the warranty.

    Cheers

    It voids the warranty because you make changes in your phone that can harm it.
    You use software which is not licensed by SE, they can't control this software. Imagine XS++ would have a bad code that causes dead phones. Obviously SE wouldn't compensate for the harm that has been one.
    SE can check wether your phone has been upgraded by SEUS but they don't make use of this opportunity often, I think.

    it voids waranty. You can find the document on the official site of SE where it says that changing the software voids waranty. Sorry
