Hey all, just want to throw something out there and see if this happened to anyone else.

After going back and forth so many times, I finally decided to unlock and root my Gnex over the weekend and flash a JB ROM. I used a Win7 PC and Wug's Gnex Toolkit, installed the drivers, did all the backups, and followed everything to the T. So naturally I was anxious that my device was gonna be wiped after unlock. Funny thing is, it wasn't! I unlocked, rebooted, and found that it saved all my apps, homescreens and data. Then I rooted, and same thing! Nothing lost! Then, of course, to flash the ROM, I wiped all the data myself...but if I were to keep the stock ROM, it would have been at no loss!

Has anyone else experienced this? I was definitely surprised. I'm not saying everyone go and root carelessly and don't back up, but this was kinda cool.
 
This has been the case with Gnexes bought from the Play Store. Did with mine as well.
