Until this disappearing IMEI mess gets sorted I'm staying stock. As I understand it, the IMEI disappears when users flash new ROMs so I should hopefully be fine so long as I don't flash any custom ROMs. I'll one day try to root my Note II and pray that my theory is correct. I wanna apply some tweaks and get rid of some bloat and crapware.

Well I am using nova launcher. Actually I go back and forth between nova and next launcher. But nova is what I'm usually using.

Ive never heard of anyone have this issue unless they tried flashing a none TMO based, or not directly ported for TMO GNII, rom, that or didnt root properly. Most devs dont even make custom roms that mess with modems/radios (or atleast give the user the option to choose through aroma during install)...
Outside of the occassional Craigslist scam, im sure 99% of those issues fall into one of those situations, and please correct me if im wrong.
But considering 99% of those that do root/mod dont experience these issues, id say its as safe as safe can be when it comes to these sort of risks

Rooted. I change roms a few times a week and never had any issues. If you follow directions I see no way that you could lose your imei. Plus if you have a backup it is super easy to restore.
Even for people that want to stay stock, I cannot imagine why you would not want to root. You can get rid of the bloat and have full control over your stock experience. I stayed stock for 2 weeks when I got the phone. I loved it and did not have any issues whatsoever. But rooting took it to a whole new level of amazing. Unlimited multiwindow is a big plus for me and titanium backup is a must have (just to name a couple things). I have never enjoyed a phone more than I do currently.
To each their own!

I'm pretty sure your fine as far as warranty but I could be wrong. No problem with imei either. You can check your device status by going into settings/about device/status, scroll to bottom it will tell you device status. If it says modified, technically that would void your warranty. There is a way around that too though. Triangle away.

I rooted mine the first minute I had it home. For several reason...
1. I like to use my device as a "Linux learning tool"
2. I think it is morally wrong to sell a computer to somebody and tell them what they can't do with it
3. customization
flashed a ROM? that didn't happen until after about a month or so when the UVL4 update dropped or whatever for t-mo. continued to play around with it.
i don't think anybody should have an android device and NOT be rooted. just doesn't make sense not to. saved backups, tipping off the "performance cup" of your device. getting updates as you choose, not as they are force upon you. removing spyware from your device.
there is no reason to NOT root.2Stock. Too beast of a phone for custom ROMs to be a necessity.

Second I had been so happy with it I had absolutely no plans on rooting or roms etc. its that good stock.
Coming from my SG2 I did miss my free tethering so I decided I would go ahead and root and leave it at that.........well that didnt stay because I just like to tinker too much
I have installed Jedi XX and all I can saw is WOW! just when you think it cant get any faster its blazing and even my data speeds have improved!
+1. JediX-X is the bomb! Rooted my N2 the day after I got it.
Definitely! Really great rom. JediX if you want multi window or Jedi Master if you need wifi calling.
