I don&#39;t understand how warranty is ever an issue with changing the software on your phones.. If it breaks, boot to recovery mode and flash back.. The OEM can provide a utility and instructions how to just like apple does with DFU mode and iTunes, and android does with easyboot..<span></span><div>

&gt; While locked down phones aren&#39;t appreciated by many Debian Developers we have<br>
&gt; no policy that prevents such things, and under Debian rules no DD can do<br>
&gt; anything about that.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; While actively supporting phone vendors in restricting their customers isn&#39;t a<br>
&gt; desirable thing (IMHO and probably most DDs agree) it&#39;s not unreasonable for a<br>
&gt; company to want to do this to make money.<br>

In the video, the issue of filesystem access,<br>
  seemed to be more about the requirements of &#39;warranty insurance&#39; ;<br>
than patentable devices ?<br>
