ive just rooted a new tf300t, installed voodoo root keeper, and updated.. all went well, i have a 300t with newest firmware and root.
my question is if i do a factory reset, will root be removed?
Thanks,
nope the factory reset only wipes userdata (on the internal storage and the data partition) i just did a factory reset this morning... rebooted... still had root (though u have to reinstall the superuser app)

Ditto. I restored last night. From settings (factory reset) and from the cold boot screen (wipe data). I kept root, but had to download Superuser from the Plat store. My apps did auto restore which was nice. I had to search Superuser though since it wasn't originally installed from the market. (The double restore was just because I was really annoyed with the lagginess and wanted to ensure I did everything possible so I only had to do it one time. Same process both times so it was not necessary.)

Yes, I rooted used Debugfs automated root, with default Superuser app for management. Used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to create a backup of my root (just in case).
After factory reset, I just installed Superuser, opened it and I had root. Just to be sure I opened Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to see if I needed to restore root and I didn't need to. If I had needed to restore root, the backup was there anyway.
Yes.

I didn't. These are the steps I took.
1. Make sure you Install and use SuperSU
2. Install Voodoo OTA root keeper. Make a backup
3. Factory reset
4. Install super SU from market
5. Install vodoo from the market.
6. restore root in voodoo
7. open supersu
Might be an easier way to do it, but that gave me no problems.

Worked for me.
Yes. I used Survival Mode in SuperSU and I don't even need to restore root using OTA RootKeeper after factory reset or OTA update.
How does OTA Rootkeeper do it?
I just used the same method as conquereddroiduser and it worked, in Jelly Bean. But, earlier in Jelly Bean, I used OTA RootKeeper to temporarily un-root, then ran a factory reset and OTA Rootkeeper could not bring it back, despite un-root making an automatic backup of settings. (So I had to downgrade to ICS, root and then upgrade to JB again.) And given how the Infinity is setup, the internal storage is considered an SD card. So where is OTA Rootkeeper keeping the data? Or perhaps OTA Rootkeeper is not the reason we keep root after a factory reset? Because where is OTA Rootkeeper storing things to survive a factory reset if it's the only way root was kept? And if OTA Rootkeeper did it, why did it not find its backed up settings when I temporarily un-rooted and then performed a factory reset?
Someone who did it define factory reset please. is this wipe data, factory reset, or done from the stock recovery?

Settings -> Backup & reset -> Factory data reset (Erases all data on tablet)
I rooted my phone last night and all day today had horrible battery life (4 hours little usage) along with some what looked to be screen reboots. I only rooted phone did not install a rom nor any aps other than titanium. Any ideas why why this is happening and what I should do? Not new to rooting had an incredible that I spent many hours playing with.

Which method did you use to root your phone? There are several different ways to do it.
Have you checked your battery stats to see what is using your battery? Have you tried restarting your phone?
If restarting your phone doesn't solve your issues, you could install a custom recovery and then wipe your data, cache and dalvik-cache, and then install a new ROM which should solve any of your problems (much like your probably did on your Incredible). If you don't want to use a custom ROM, there are strock, rooted images available both for flashing through ODIN as well as flashing through Recovery.
I used the casual file method. Checked battery stats and nothing out of the ordinary. Also rebooted phone several times. I have a mac so I can't use Odin to go back to stock and try again. I also don't want to install a custom rom yet because I'm waiting for some bugs to be fixed on the synergy rom before I make that jump. My main reason for getting root was to freeze some apps in the meantime (haven't frozen any yet) and to enable the gps toggle switch on car dock via nfc which is working great.

Since I can't use Odin how would I go back to stock? Install the nandroid backup i made then unroot using casual? But before trying that do you think wiping dalvik might work? Strange that this is happening.

So you do have a custom recovery installed already? You don't need Odin as long as you have a custom recovery.
You can try clearing both your cache and dalvik-cache in recovery, and then reboot to see if it solves your problems.
If it doesn't, then backup and sync your data (wiping your data won't wipe your "internal sd card", but you will lose all of your system settings). UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER (search for ez-unlock on the market). Then put this on your sd card (or internal memory): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941334
Boot to recovery. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache. Install that stock, rooted ROM. Reboot and reset up your phone settings.
i used the recovery that was suggested with the casual process. I think i might have fixed my issue i downloaded Rom Manager and reinstalled recovery and powered off my phone then removed battery and now the phone is smooth again but im still noticing that my battery is draining rather quick. This is very strange. Im thinking of unrooting and trying it all over again. I just need to find the original Verizon image.
Over many iterations of Beanstalk my phone has had random reboots, sometimes hanging at the beanstalk logo, other times it will just freeze and i'll push the power button for screen on and nothing will happen. I'm trying to figure out if my hardware is flakey, anyone know an app for that? Or if maybe my installation procedure is the problem (it is posted below). I did a clean install of 1.205 yesterday and already 3 crashes. I wiped the dalvik and regular caches this morning after the 3rd crash to see if that may help. Any advice is appreciated. I dirty flashed 1.205 before and it didn't even seem this bad so not sure if it is completely random or what. Thanks!

Also, I am not overclocking or undervolting, someone suggested that before so I turned it all off.
Sounds like your restoring apps and data with titanium backup or something. Are you? If so, that explains the reboots. I highly doubt it's the rom

I seriously doubt it is the ROM, not trying to blame it.
Trying to figure out if my hardware is going flakey and causing it, if I'm doing something wrong with the install, or some other thing I'm messing up.
I do restore with Titanium, but I only restore apps, not data.
The only other major thing I have changed that I can think of is the DPI to 182.
Ok the apps you restore, are any of them backups you made when you where on a gingerbread rom?
Like, say you were on GB and backed up some apps. Then flashed ICS, then JB, and then restored apps?

Nope, all backed up from previous JB ROMs. :\
Do you know any apps that can test the cpu/ram to see if it is going wonky? I looked but only found one that doesn't support the Infuse.

Use cpu spy.
It will tell exactly what the cpu uses and if it's going into deep sleep (very important).
I'm thinking there is an app that's preventing the phone from going into deep sleep

It actually hasn't crashed since I erased the two caches again. Hope I'm not jinxing it now. Been up 35 hours. 53% of that time in deep sleep.

Not sure if you will lose root. Since you are already rooted the best way to go is use a custom recovery and factory wipe in recovery.
Once you have a custom recovery installed, why would you even want to use the Factory Reset function in the stock rom? You can do everything you need to do with much more flexbility in TWRP.
No idea what happens on the M8 if you do this, but I can tell you that on the Transformer tablets a factory reset from settings wiith CWM or TWRP installed left you in a nasty forced reboot to recovery loop.
Don't do it!
Oh - and no, any kind of wipe of data/cache/dalvik will not affect root. If you wipe /system it will, but then you wouldn't have a rom installed anyway!
Just do the factory wipe in TWRP. That'll wipe everything but /system and /data/media/ where your personal files (pics, videos, docs) live. If you want to get rid of those too format data in TWRP.
Edit: Sorry, didn't read your post correctly. Did you only root with Weaksauce? No S-off, no permanent root, no custom recovery?
In that case it depends where Weaksauce is installed to. I can't remember - Weaksauce didn't survive for long after using firewater, but my guess is, it would be installed to /data. And yes - a factory reset would wipe the app and you would have to install it again.
Every couple of hours i get this message and then i have to reboot. Does anyone know about this, if so how do i fix this? Thanks ahead.
It lools like a malware. Try factory reset.

Are you rooted or stock. If stock it may have something to do with the latest OTA OJ6. If rooted, I think what the 2nd post could be right, reset is you best option. Just make sure u backup your data on the internal memory. As it be erased with a hard reset.
