Rooting isn't dangerous if you do some research, following instructions and get your files from trusted sites. It's when you don't do what was previously said that you run a risk of damaging your device. I've rooted lots of phones for friends and family, never had any go wrong. Not to mention they have one-click programs that do all the work for you. I've done both for numerous phone and all were positive experiences. And the last point I'd like to make is once recovery is on the device and you make a nandroid backup you're pretty much covered if you do happen to make a mistake 99.9% of the time. So the question is why not root? Don't get me wrong, you can do whatever you want with your device and no one can tell you otherwise. But why limit the device when the possibilities are endless with a rooted device, all risks are user error. Also you can usually if not always unroot if you have any hardware issues to bring it in for a warranty exchange.

Yea, I feel what you are saying. I have a rooted droid 1, albeit I bought it from a friend, so I have never actually rooted a device before. I know there has been a rooting method for the GNex floating around already so I'm eager to try it, but I'm sure its not the LTE version, so I think its wise to wait a bit. Even if I do root it, I plan on probably keeping stock more than likely. I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing I suppose.

Yes, it voids your warranty, but un-rooting and returning a device back to stock essentially reinstates your warranty because Verizon can't tell you were ever rooted.
ive been out of the loop for the past two weeks or so. catching up on stuff after a surgery. Its not a bad idea to ask... i mean if he didnt pay for the phone and is supposed to test it
