My Phone is Dangerous - Oni - 12-02-2015
I read some of the legal documents when I was unlocking the bootloader on my Moto X Pure. I found this bit of their legal agreement quite funny.
MOTOROLA LEGAL AGREEMENT AND WARNING Wrote:WARNING: MOTOROLA STRONGLY RECOMMENDS AGAINST UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER AND/OR MODIFYING OR ALTERING A DEVICE'S SOFTWARE OR OPERATING SYSTEM. DOING SO CAN HAVE UNINTENDED, UNFORESEEN, AND DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES, SUCH AS RENDERING THE DEVICE UNUSABLE, VIOLATING APPLICABLE LAWS, OR CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH.

Just for those who actually think this is a prank.

That is seriously in their Legal Agreement.. On page 2 under (7) you'll get more description of this and what could, in theory, happen.

Anything could theoretically happen.

If anyone is interested, I will be posting a YouTube video of me trying to make my phone cause damage later. I'll link it here.

The whole thing makes sense. That is prolly why you unlock at your own risk.

I read those disclaimers as well when unlocking my Moto X Play as well.

Well if you think far enough, any electronic powered device can kill you. There was once a kid (probably everyone heard this) and he/she was charging their phone a whole night when the phone was still laying in the blankets. The phone overheated and the house was burned to the ground.
What I'm trying to say is, I think that big companies just mention things like that so if it happens, nobody can start a law-suit against them.

I mean, it's technically possible, albeit in an extremely rare circumstance
The only way I could imagine this happening is after unlocking, flashing a kernel with over clocking abilities or abuse the quick charge ability of the phone, under or over volting, etc. Could be a potential issue with heat in these cases, and I'm not sure what temperature Li-Ion/Li-Po batteries are rated for. When those explode it's not pretty.Joking aside, I saw the same thing when I unlocked my Moto X Play. Annoyingly it would show the disclaimer on every boot until you flashed over the logo image.
