So I decided to go back to stock hoping to get OTAs. I was on stock rooted and used ODIN to flash stock unrooted as per the directions in the sticky thread in Android Development. I restarted the phone and superuser is still there. Did I fail to unroot? Also, will this affect my ability to get OTA if it is unrooted?

You could uninstall the .apk itself / or delete with root explorer

You did something wrong, or somehow restored it, or maybe you flashed Root66 or an already rooted image by accident, because if you restored to completely stock, unrooted image through Odin, it basically overwrites the entire /system partition (operating system), there should be no apps or anything left that was custom installed. Before you did this though, you should have gone into recovery and wiped cache and data (make sure you backup all your data because wiping data will delete all your data on the phone and all your market apps too, except for your external/internal sdcard data). Anyway, flashing through Odin completely wipes your /system partition, so it would be impossible to have anything lingering from before. What this means is that you either installed the wrong image through Odin and it's still rooted, or you didn't wipe data before flashing and Superuser must have been installed as a user app then. Do a factory wipe (after backing up data you want to keep), then reflash stock rom again.
Why the hell would you ever accept a ota? A dev will base a ROM on whatever ota you feel you need if there is not one already, without shady Verizon crap. Your asking for trouble

Can I do a factory reset after I have rooted my pad?
Will it work right? Would I get an official update?
Rooted by debugfs
yes and yes. Keep your root by installing superSU, opening it, then running voodoo, and backing up your root. Might as well do the JB update first, then factory restore, then download and run superSU and voodoo again and restore root.

Thx! Mooderators can close the thread,but I think this question should appear in some main thread .
It does, numerous times, lol
What's the deal with choosing supersu over superuser?
I need a help from anyone,please...
I've succesfully updated to JB (vie OTA).But i want to setup clean JB,then i want to do a factory reset
or wipe dalvik-cashe-data on my Tablet.
If i do so-do i loose root? (it was saved with OTAKeeper befor update to JB and restored after that
without problems).Or do i lose OTA keeper (or backups from Keeper) to restore root after wipe all??
Please suggest me, i'm very curious about that and want to make all right
from the Beginning...
Thanks in advance,
Val
Just forget-i have root but not modified bootloader.

You can do factory reset and still have root. Make sure you do a full backup first with Tibu.

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."
Thank you very much for your answer!
I will do exactly so as you said!!
Hey there!
I am quite new on this but am getting really tired of my tf700 being sluggish and slow, so I decided to flash a new rom and try to make a NVflash backup first just to be safe. But before doing all this I wanted to make a backup of all my app data which I can do easily with a rooted tablet and a backup app. Problem is, I am on 10.6.1.14.10 right now and I need 10.6.1.14.8 to be able to root it. So I decided that I should root it before making a backup, so here's my question, does a downgrade of stock rom require a clean wipe or wipe data at all? Or is it safe for me to downgrade, install a backup app for app data and then unlock make NVflash-blob and so on?
tl;dr Does downgrading from 10.6.1.14.10->10.6.1.14.8 require a data wipe?

When you install the full firmware from Asus, it will wipe everything on you sd before installing. In another word, you will loose your personal data if you downgrade your firmware. Backup everything that you need before downgrading. I am very sure that is the case...

That's why he/she doesn't need to wipe anything - the firmware flash will do it
But you make a very good point there....

Ah okay, thanks. That means that I can't do a backup after downgrading. Does an unlock of the tablet wipe data though? The problem I'm having is that I want to save app data before doing anything and the only way to do that without root that I've found is through helium (aka carbon) but I have yet to make Helium work, I've done a backup but not succeeded to restore the app data that I did a backup on.
Is it possible to unlock and install TWRP and do a backup that way? Or does that involve a wipe in any of the steps too?

Unlock is only touched your bootloader and do not wipe your system or data. You are safe on that case..
Since you are on the latest firmware, you can unlock first and try to learn fastboot to install the latest TWRP. When you have TWRP installed, you can backup your apps from there. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you so much for this information, I'll use Scotts tool (or something like that?) to install twrp without root and then backup and then flash Cromi-x :victory:

Ahem... LMK - what do you mean by backing up apps in TWRP? Making a nandroid? A little different than what he was asking about - no?

I do not know what kind of app data you want to back up.
Without using TiBu (for which you would need root) I got a pretty seamless transition by just copying everything in my "/storage/emulated/0" directory to my PC and copying it back after wiping/formatting the data partition and installing the same apps I had before.
Don't know what firmware you are coming from, but if you are on JB 4.2 already and follow the steps you mentioned in your last post, and you do not format your data partition, your app data should be intact anyway even after flashing CROMi-X.

Yes, it works on the same rom but I don't know if you nandroid from stock and restore them on cromi x... Are we talking on the same things? Maybe I misunderstand what is the definition of app data... Any way, if you know a better way, he/she will be more than happy to follow your helps.. That is all know and I will follow this post to learn a better method... thanks..
Use the backup app from ASUS

I just did this last week after the OTA update to 10.6.1.14.10 so I had to downgrade to .08.
I made a app+data backup with the stock backup and moved the backup folder to my microSD card, then used another microSD card to do the downgrade, your card must be formatted fat32, after downgrade restore your backup, all apps and data was fine. Then I unlocked and used Scotts tool to install TWRP, goomanager dose not work, and follow the info in "ASUS TF700T unlock and root JB 4.2.1 stock" the CromiX install went smooth as silk. There are a lot of choices to make during the install I chose the default the first time.
Hope this helps, good luck.
is it possible to unroot stock rom without doing a clean install?? stupid thing is i need to login to snapchat but it wont let me as i have super su flashed . is there any work around for this issue guys?
you can temporary disable root or permanently unroot your device right from SuperSU settings.

i tried by clicking full unroot option but it says failed
Do you have a twrp backup from prior to rooting, if so restore only system and boot, wipe caches and reboot.
