Rooted Phone Upgrade Optus

[AuZinE]

Hi,

Had a quick question.

So i am nearly 12 months into my plan and i want to upgrade to a new handset with a new plan by paying 99$ one off fee.

Just had a quick question that do optus upgrade rooted phones?

Thanks

I gather this a leased phone and you are returning it for a new deal? Should that be the case can you not just remove the root or was this a custom rom?

No, not a leased phone. Paying device installments to own the phone after plan finishes. 

I got stock rom with root just the device is having flash counter 0*1 on download mode and device status as custom.

Do they upgrade rooted phones?

I mean I could go all stock again removing root but the flash counter on download mode will still say that i modified the device.
