Oleg Shalom, I'm pretty sure that the link you provided is a generic Samsung warranty (for appliances, TVs, etc) and not specifically for phones, so that would explain why there's no mention of rooting. I do know that the Scailex (official importer) warranty on Galaxy phones is even more

The question is not limited to phones. E.g. you may also update the firmware of your television, see: http://openlgtv.org.ru/wiki/index.php/Wiki_index If I could rely on the fact that the manufacturer/seller would have to rescue me if I accidentally bricked my TV set, I might be more likely to

With MTP and similar stuff on cameras a lot of GUIs on different platforms don't even offer unmount options, and yes fsck wouldn't do anything since you don't have access to the filesystem, only to a software layer in front of the filesystem (which also helps the device OS protects its' files).
