Does flashing firmware void warranty, even if the warranty sticker is "bypassed"? do you have to change back the drives orginal firmware back if u send to warranty? Has anyone send a faulty xbox to warranty with a flashed drive?

Yes, flashing voids your warranty. If you do need to send your console back to Microsoft, flash original firmware back to the drive. The one exception is with that is the Lite-ON drive. You can not restore original firmware back to the Lite-ON drive. I know people that have sent their 360 into repairs with modified firmware and received a replacement. That isn't a guarantee though as you are taking a chance when doing so.

They won't fix it and will blacklist the serial number of the console. Try picking up a warranty sticker on eBay, they're about £8.

They won't replace it and will send the console back to you. The serial of the console will be logged.
