The first one - it was in the early development of AMR stage, so after a certain AMR update I had to restore from the backup image. But that was an expected risk - the AMR was still experimental and changing. Still, backup and restoration (also thanks to rupor) is very reliable and safe itself. But make at least one backup image! Now AMR is stable for several months and I have no problems with any T2s. But I keep the indexing off, I don't use the native reader, the web browser, etc. Some people have issues with the content server or something. But they use T2 differently.

I've read a lot of posts on these forums about unresponsive / laggy / bricked etc rooted T1s (and T2s?). A lot of those people were unable to restore their devices and some were even advised to return their devices to Sony!
I don't know the details having chosen not to root my old T1, but it looked dubious. On the Nook I frequently install and uninstall apps, looking for the best tools for what I need to do. It's trial and error. The Nook handles it no problem and I know I can restore the original image if need be. From what I understand, the Sony does not offer the same robustness.
