In nachoroot stage2, I get:
Code:
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
What's wrong? someone says nachoroot works on transformer classic
Couple of members got that same message in the NachoRoot thread.
Here's what one had to say

You could down grade firmware and use RazorClaw

I just used vipermood root tool... Found it in the Asus prime development section... It's pretty much a 1 click root tool that works for our tablets (tf101) as well... I was rooted with super user in the time it takes to reboot twice... And vipermood root tool uses nacho root to gain root

I had the same problem with mine. I read somewhere that it was something to do with it being a B40 model. What model is yours? I have recently got mine back from Asus through RMA, they replaced the motherboard, so not sure if that is anything to do with it.

I rooted my Infinity a few days ago, and I changed my mind. How the heck do I unroot? I cannot find the answer anywhere...
Before root the boot time was under a minute by far, now it is 3 minutes and 45 seconds...this can't be right.
Anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix it? If not can anyone tell me how to unroot please?
Thanks.
I rooted my tf700 and the boot is like unrooted, under 1 minute.
Have you tried to make a cold reboot?
If you want to unroot, i've used the method described in this post to unroot my previous tf300 before returning it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622628
It had worked fine.
I've used 'Method 1 - Rooted' instructions.
You have to download the blob corresponding to your tf700 from asus and with adb write it to the tf700
Just remove /system/xbin/su (as root) and uninstall Superuser app, but this is user-based, so I doubt anything on the boot uses root privileges differently just because suddenly you have the binary there.
Are you sure you haven't installed any apps or new firmware lately?
Or just Factory Reset if your really desperate. Root gone.

I don't think that a factory reset removes root.
Don't ask me to prove it, i don't want to reinstall my Tf700

Correct. Factory reset means wiping the /data partition, for which there is no reason in this case. Re-flashing firmware sometimes wipes /system, sometimes just overwrites the files on it (normally leaving /data intact), which will lead to removing "su" most of the time (Superuser.apk stays in /data, but can be easily uninstalled). If someone has used RootKeeper, it can leave a copy of "su" somewhere on the system partition, too, but can be removed from within the app.
OK, need someone to tell me what I'm missing please.
Yesterday I was on stock .30 and rooted. This morning I took the JB update. My first boot was OK and I still had root, but when I rebooted, I got stuck in a loop. It kept rebooting after getting to the desktop. I assumed at least one of my apps was causing it, so I used the wipe data function with the power + vol down thing. that wiped everything, including root.
I tried to re-do the debugfs method, but that seems to fail. Strange thing is, if I use adb shell from the computer, I can su - root and get root access. That's how I was able to give read/write access to the data folder where debugfs does its' work. It's just that root check says I'm not rooted. Voodoo OTA has all boxes checked on my root check, except the one that says granted root permissions. The SU file does exist inside /system/xbin
So it's as if the tablet's user just doesn't have permission to do root. I loaded a terminal emulator on the tablet, and tried to su - root that way, and got permission denied. I would normally get the "superuser" popup when doing something like that -
So there's definitely a piece I'm missing. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
reinstall ota rootkeeper and restore root. factory reset doesnt wipe root access you just need to restore it.

Sorry, should have mentioned that I tried that. Attaching a screenshot as to what it looks like. Notice the center checkmark stating "root permission granted" is not checked, and there's no option to restore, only to remove or temp unroot, so it's like, everything is good, except for the actual root permission
Root checker shows red (no access) and root programs like root explorer do not prompt for superuser permission before running as I would expect them to the first time.
Did you run superuser? Did you reboot after running su for the first time?

Absolutely, more times than I can count. Here's another shot showing I can't execute such but it seems to have global execute...

OK, uninstalled superuser, and installed superSU as you suggested and rebooted the tablet for good measure.
Ran it, and it prompted me, saying su needed updating, said yes do it, came back to me "installation failed", which I honestly expected because for whatever reason, current tablet user cannot get to su, even though it appears permissions said it should.
One other note, earlier I tried to refollow these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704209
That is how I rooted when under build .30, no issues at all. This time I hit a snag when trying to push files to /data/local - said I had no permission. now I got around it via ADB by simply typing su - root....root seems to work when I'm in ADB, but it doesn't work via tablet interface. I don't know what I'm missing here....
Just a thought.. I was considering flashing back to .30 using fastboot but I wasn't sure if that would even work. I tried loading the .30 zip into the root of storage and it detected it, as a downgrade even and asked to proceed. When done I was still on 4.1.1 not the older build.
BTW, thank you for taking the time. I really don't mean to be a pain here. I've not had this much trouble before...
Well sh++ This would explain why I couldn't redo the debugfs root process...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27990303
I decided to go have a look at the nexus 7 area since that's native JB and saw that. So' for those just buying this, you might want to root before you update.
Still doesn't explain my problem but at least explains why I can't use the solution that WAS good.

I was able to restore my root. See this post.

I've really messed up now. Set perms wrong for the such that was on the tablet so now can't get root using adb either so unless there is a way to downgrade without root I'm screwed.

I was so amped to grab JB, that I spaced that the OTA update would break root (i'm rooted but locked bootloader, b/c i was hoping 4.1.1 would come sooner than later!)
I had OTA rootkeeper installed, and while I was a little skeptical as to how easily it would work, it was 1-click simple and I just had to reinstall/update the binaries and reboot. I had the same check mark unchecked, but it worked, was straightforward, etc. It sounds like something got jacked in the JB flash, and I wonder if a full wipe/reset (&downgrade) to 4.04, re-root, then OTA update (using ota rootkeeper to hold root) might work for you?

I would love to try the downgrade approach as that's the only one left I haven't tried, primarily because I have tried and haven't found a way to do it. If you know how with a locked boot loader then I'd love to hear.

sorry, above my pay-grade at this point. I think i was overly optimistic about the "open-ness" of the device/bootloader (my other device is a galaxy nexus, so it's easy to do just about anything). I had a factory wipe or flash/img restore in my mind, but factory wipe wouldnt help (dont thinK), and If a stock 4.04 img exists, pretty sure there is a command set in fastboot that would let you restore using that image, but also pretty (99%) sure that requires an unlocked bootloader.
It sounds like there were a few changes in folder structure in JB that are limiting the root-ability, but my guess is the brainy folks around here will figure that out pretty quick, and JB will be root-able soon.

Yes it's the /data folder where the exploit was and is causing the issue. I saw one of the commands was flash all, but I was too scared to try that. I tried the update.zip approach, but it came back with needed files weren't present in the archive.

What did you do exactly? Details!
You can try this.... It may work... The worst case is that it just doesn't work. I have not seen a confirmation yet as to whether this method works or not yet.

If you have a check mark unchecked, you likely have root issues. Which check box?

Sorry - imprecise language on my part.
When I opened up OTA rootkeeper, it showed the same unchecked box (in rootkeeper) as others have mentioned, but I had "restore root" as an option. I did, and had no problems keeping root after updating to JB 4.1.1. OTA. I was using superuser but had checked "OTA survival" in Superuser's options, so I think that's how i kept root (seems like this "survival" option is baked in to Super Su, but a (non-default) option in Superuser).
I updated to jb. Use voodoo to unroot and restore root back. And it shows that i am rooted but is not.
Anyone else with this issue?

Yes, and I'm not 100% sure it's resolved. Most likely, if you access your tablet via adb you can su - root, and get a # prompt meaning root access, but it seems root access has been cut off at an application level.

Hey nooktablet... before we were in the same boat, but calisro found a working solution!
STEP BY STEP
NOTE: After Step 7, go back to original CMD Window where you SU;d.
If you don't want to go back to Windows #1, you can open a new shell session in CMD Windows #2 with SU privileges.
7a) adb shell
7b) su -
Then continue on to the remaining steps.
Just got a new TF700T (today), performed the OTA firmware update.
Tried the rooting procedure but it doesn't work - the procedure finishes off nicely, installs superuser.apk on the end as well but the device is not rooted.
No errors during the installation procedure, this is not my first tablet/phone I'm rooting. Simply, doesn't work - superuser is denying the root request from programs.
Is this b/c of the OTA update or?
Install SuperSU from Playstore
Did you reboot after?

And when you do get it rooted, download Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. It will, hopefully, let us keep root after the nearing JB release...
I had the same issue when I rooted. I started SuperSU itself, granted it root, and then rebooted. Worked fine after that.
