Does rooting Q Mobile void its warranty? If it does, how do we unroot the device? And would this procedure work with Noir A6 as well? Would highly appreciate a response, thanks!

Yes it voids your warranty.
The rooting tools also has the unroot feature.. or simple restore factory defaults.
This guide should also root qmobile A6 but i haven’t tested it, yet.

Aqeel November 30, 2012 at 11:48 pm

Great! Thanks buddy! If you test A6 soon, please do post a reply here. That would be great!

Since the rooting tool works on almost all ICe Cream sandwich and Jelly bean phones, it should work just fine on A6 as well… Checkout the guide: http://www.jailbreakeye.com/android/root-qmobile-noir-a6
