Does for some, not for others :/
Apparently having SuperSU installed before the upgrade helps when restoring root.
It seems that it's necessary to install SuperSU and run it at least once, then backup your root with VooDoo OTA RootKeeper.

Don't do a data wipe, or you will most likely break it.

Worked for me and i needed to do dataswipe because 1 app was rebooting my tablet and i didnt know what app it was.

I restored root using OTA rootkeeper with Superuser (not SuperSu) installed. This didnt work for everyone. There is an option in the Superuser settings with a checkbox that says "OTA survival" (or something like that). I had it checked. This seems to be the difference with others who lost root with Superuser.
to be clear.
-I had superuser installed
-i had ota rootkeeper installed
-i checked the 'ota survival' box (in superuser)
-i was able to restore root no problem after JB OTA update.
Worked for me with superuser (not supersu) and I didn't have any "ota survival" checked in superuser. Just used voodoo root keeper.
Also UNINSTALL ezoverclock. It crashes JB on boot over and over.

I got a samsung s3 I747 and that sucks. I would need to unroot my device before accepting OTA update in this case? Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm not doing something the right way

I've already root my device and i'm currently using the prime 1.3 rom. I'm wondering if i want to apply the official 3.1 update do i need to unroot my device? If not what should i do? Thanks helping.....
Follow these instructions and you will be fine. No need to unroot.

Thanks for that link, I just followed the directions for rooted users, and everything went perfectly!
awesome! glad to hear everything worked out

grumble grumble, I jumped the gun and installed official, thus losing root. I'm wonder can't I just adb push the rooted 3.1 blob?
No, since you don't have root access so you can't push anything to /system/ or any of the folders outside /mnt. You need to downgrade back to stock .9 and re-root or wait for a new way to root.
You can try going into recovery to see if you still got CWM, then you can just flash this with CWM.
While troubleshooting another issue I did a factory reset. I'm running stock JB. I rooted on ICS and kept root via ota root keeper. Anyway, after the factory reset none of my apps can gain root. /system/bin/su is there. I tried installing Superuser app and SuperSU but that didn't help.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

You had to have installed SuperSU and Superuser prior to updating to Jelly Bean. If you had the SuperSU binary, and backed up your root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper prior to updating.... you will be able to fully restore your root access after the Jelly Bean update.
If you only had Superuser prior to updating and backed up using Voodoo, you will most likely have lost your root, like several other TF300T users.

I said SuperSU, not just Superuser. You need to have both installed... at least that's what I've heard works perfectly so far.

My issue is different than what you linked to. I updated to JB and restored root just fine. That's what that thread is about. My issue is a factory reset killed root

Yeah, you're right, factory reset shouldn't break root. That is strange!

yes a factory reset usually kills root, at least that's how i unroot my old-broken nook tablet 6 months ago.
I have a thread on this too. Basically you can't use the debugfs method anymore because you can't symlink /data/local anymore. So if you restore normally after the job update, you're fine, but if you do a wipe, it doesn't work anymore despite such being in /system/xbin.
I'm going to assume we'll just have to wait for these awesome devs to come up with another exploit. Either that or unlock the bootloader and go the custom ROM route.

I guess right now bootloader is unlocked.
Because I didn't use unlock app from Asus, but I can get access to fastboot usb download protocol.
if you press vol down + power you'll get acces to a lot of functionality. Maybe it can help to get root back
PS: I lost my root too... And right now I'm trying to get it back.

No bootloader is not unlocked. I think that is a result of the update. I have not tried it but perhaps it could be used to flash .30 back on it? Care to try?

I can't try it right now, because I need to leave from the office.
But, I assume that we use fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob this function to update recovery because bootloader is now accessible
I can try it only tomorrow morning. Maybe some else can try it faster and write here the result.

I don't know about the exact command structure but I did see a sample listing of command formats, similar to what you'd see if you typed adb with no arguments.

I lost root in WW .30 version. I couldn't restore with rootkeeper. I reran the debugfs rooting method to get root back.
Like last time though I had to open up command prompt as admin and run the bat file manually instead of just right clicking it and running as admin.

How did you know you lost root? I just did the update, ran Titanium Backup and a few other apps and they all report that root is still functional?

for one, voodoo told me my device wasn't rooted. I would fail to restore root (supersu popup message kept saying voodoo was allowed access, maybe every 20 seconds or so but keep repeating)
supersu complained that it failed if i even tried to disable SU from the menus
I didn't lose root, with WW version. After update I normally restored root with ota rootkeeper. All went fine.

I used rootkeeper, though it didn't really helped me, lost root after manual update to ww.30.
I re-run debugfs (ran cmd. exe as admin and then executed the debugfs).
Although debugfs complained that rooting failed, root was actually succeeded, it did however required another reboot to properly kick in.
Lost also Root, but after the unroot action with RootdebugFS it is back again
I was able to root. 30 I went from. 26 to a manual flash of the full . 30 update. I lost root and the root method worked fine for me US sku

Try the same with SuperSU instead of Superuser app, guys. It's a different management app, but a different "su" as well. Anyway, with SuperSU I was able to preserve root, so it might be the reason (I switched to it as a means of the JB preperations, after some TF300 users have reported it was the only way for them to keep root after the JB firmware update).
I updated and my root held, I didn't have to install any apps or anything.

i think we could change WW SKU to US SKU maybe can get root back ?!!!!! tried it
I just updated to the US .30 update and not only did i lose root, but my tablet is no longer recognized in ADB. two days ago i was able to use ADB and fastboot to flash the new clockwork recovery just fine. When I try to root with Debugsfs i get a weird error that says 'find' is not a recognized command just after the "waiting for device to be detected". I could use any help that anyone can give.
Might look like a stupid question, but are you sure you had USB debugging enabled in system settings while trying this?
hi i tried rooting my tf300t using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26435786#post26435786 i got to the part where you have to flash the root signed.zip and i did flash it but then when i press reboot system now it asks me "root access possibly lost. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE" then it gives me options no , yes-fix root (/system/xbin/su), ******go back*****. anyone know what i should do. iv tried all 3 then going into root checker it says you do not have proper root access but i do have super user in my apps list and titanium backup will not work.
anybody know what to do?
Try using twrp recovery for flashing instead of cwm.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I agree. TWRP is the way to go. Also, if you are going to flash a custom ROM that is already rooted, don't even worry about rooting it with the root zip because it's not needed. The rooted ROM will take care of rooting it for you.
thanks
thanks twrp worked.
Thanks, got it rooted. But now I installed an app that gives me a black screen of death when it boots (LCD MODDER). I am int he process right now of recovering a backup.
So I successfully un rooted my phone but have some issues. 1is that when the phone boots it says unlocked with the little padlock. The other is su icon won't go away from the app draw. I uninstalled it but when I do it shows up in the market as needs update. How can I get rid of these two little issues?

How exactly did you unroot? Are you sure it worked? Do you have the stock recovery or cwm or twrp? If your on stock recovery then try this:
Update superuser and update the binary after its done. then Download ez-unlock to lock the bootloader(im assuming your still rooted). Next download supersu, uninstall superuser and follow the directions to full unroot in supersu's settings.
Or just save/back up all your stuff to a pc or sd card and flash a stock factory image in odin that takes care of everything

Nevermind the pad lock with custom underneath it is still there. How do i get rid of this ? I also noticed in Odin mode custom binary says custom? I downloaded root checker just to make sure I'm not still rooted and it says I'm not.

That is cause can't unroot with Route 66. It injects root when you Odin. Need to Odin untouched MB1 from SamMobile or K3 from OpenYourEyes and then OTA MB1. Or try the SuperSu unroot.
