just read some posted regarding ap vs ori.
as a reseller ourself, we don't have anything against AP set, (or original of course), as long as the AP is a genuine ap set.
what does it means by genuine? the AP set is just a set imported from oversea, where in their origin country, they are also original set (same like SME set, if u bring it oversea and try to claim for warranty, or try to sell it, basically it becomes AP there)
as AP set warranty is covered by AP supplier, the best is to buy AP set that is imported by big and reliable AP supplier, not just by some small or individual importer.Â
for eg: who brought it here because they have friend studying overseas

the most important thing when buying AP, is to check with the seller, which AP company covers the warranty.
I'm worried about warranty coverage after rooting. Do you guys still cover it for example I buy it from you guys tomorrow and flash with Malaysian firmware. Will u guys still accept the device if it's faulty? But not caused by the rooting or firmware etc
