Hi guys. I rooted my Transformer and i knew i will loose root when doing an OTA.
I did the upgrade and thought all root apps will be uninstalled. But now im on 8.6.5.21 and still have superuser installed. Now i can't uninstall the app. Any ideas how to fix my problem?

I have the same problem. I unrooted with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154947
and then OTA updated to ICS but i still have superuser and now I can't remove. Is there anyway to do it through adb?

Not w/o #SU access. ViperMod will root the device. Then you can manually remove Super User with ADb.
I did ROOT when I had ICS 4.0 , Titanium backup was working fine, but recently I flashed Jelly Bean, bootloader stayed opened but when I tried to do backup by Titanium it announced no Root rights granted.
Will I have to do ROOT my Nexus S every time I flash new ROM? Or Did I something wrong? Thank you Rob

Was it the official update? You lose all root privileges but the boot loader stays open. If not, check if you have a su app installed and binary updated. Then, go to app list make sure tb is on prompt and go back to tb, menu, restart application and it should ask for permission.
About the root every time you flash a ROM part, the answer is no, if the ROM is rooted already, which includes just about every unofficial/custom ROM out there.
Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX
lost root privilege on nexus s
Official update on Nexus was not working so I download stock Jelly B. from net and then flashed it. Then Root privilege was lost but bootloader stayed opened. There was probably problem with transition between ROMs when I updated unofficial ICS Rom to official ROM. Thx for answer.
No problem. You flash a stock unrooted rom, you dont have a root.
You're on a official stock rom and rooted and apply a ota you loose root.
All worked as it should
lost root
Thx for clarifying and valuable advices. R.
Hi, I have not yet upgraded to JellyBean because I do not know if it is possible to only root to the TF700.
Is it possible? You know tell me the procedure?
Thanks
If you are not on JB already and want to root your device, you should root it now, install SuperSU and Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, then run SuperSU, then OTA Root Keeper and save your root, then upgrade to JB, then restore root using OTA Root Kepper.
Thanks for the reply.
I have not yet installed but just downloaded the update.
I already have a root and SuperUser on ICS.
Where can I find vooodo and OTA root keeper? Can you link please?
Excuse my English but I use google translator!

Vodoo OTA Root Keeper.
SuperSU.
SuperSU License.
Remember:
Install SuperSU + Voodoo OTA Root Keeper
Run SuperSU
Run a program needing Root privileges and check that it is SuperSU that is prompting, not SuperUser.
Run Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, then remove backup, then create backup (to make sure the backup is using SuperSU)
Upgrade to JB
If needed: Install SuperSU + Voodoo OTA Root Keeper (depending on your method of upgrading to JB, these may have been uninstalled)
Try to run a program needing Root privileges to see if root survived by itself.
If not, Run Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, restore root
These should be the steps necessary for you to have root survive an upgrade to JB (note: I haven't been able to upgrade to JB myself, so this is just information I have collected from various other sources. Proceed at your own risk...)
Is it possible to make a backup of voodoo root keeper from one tablet which is already root and backup on another one which is stock ?
Thank you again. I must first uninstall superuser?
I am allready on JB is there an method known allready to root it?

Given that you've already updated ... advice to upgrade?
Has improved our TF700?
I was using Superuser (had problems with SuperSU). Made backup with Voodoo OTA root keeper. And no problems after update to JB, have root here

Can I run the procedure directly with SuperUser?
I do not have to force install SuperSU?
I hadn't used my TF700 in a while and when the update came down, I completely forgot it was even rooted and went ahead with the JB update. Sadly, and of course, I lost root. It wasn't one of my smarter moments. Any known way of getting root on JB thus far? I know the unlock tool still works for JB.
Well, I made a recovery for JB, grab the recovery, and install the SuperSU.zip, that seemed to work well for me, so give it a try.
For me worked with Superuser, did not installed SuperSU.
Rooted the ICS, installed Superuser, updated su binary from Superuser. Installed Voodoo OTA Root Keeper and made backup. Installed JB and restored su from Voodoo OTA Root Keeper.
BTW I did not unroot or did something before updating to Jelly Bean. Just enabled all bloatware from Asus that were disabled in Apps.

Don't know. But if the program solves your problem, it is a small price to pay. Support the developers...

In Superuser settings you will see the version of the su binary. Tap on it and update window will popup. You will be able to update your su binary.
I've run the voodoo with superuser and made me up.
Can you tell me where I find the backup it so well on the SD when formatting the internal memory?
OK, I made the vodooo.
Now I'm upgrading to Jellybean.
After how do I restore the backup of Voodoo?

Assuming you manage to get JB installed (I haven't :crying, then it most likely will still be rooted when you reboot. Try running Voodoo OTA Root Keeper after boot and see if you have Root privileges (are there 'X' in all items)? If not, you should have an option to restore root.
I accepted the OTA update, and wanted to know if I can just use motoroot to re-gain root access. I unrooted to accept the OTA update using motoroot.
Probably. I didn't even unroot before installing the update

It worked!

I used Motoroot v1.1 apk, and everything worked fine post OTA update. I never rooted with pwnmymoto, so it seems like you're fine as long as you retained stock recovery. Entitlement check did not change, and the adblocker is back working just fine!
I just got my Shield Tablet and rooted it. I keep getting two OTA notifications, one says ROM Update the other says Tegra Update. Will I keep root of I do the OTA updates?
I'd like to get a recovery added, but it seems that all the recoveries are incomplete. Is there a method to install recovery without a separate computer?

You can try the paid version of SuperSU to preserve root or the THT Rootkeeper (the other big root keeper doesn't work past 4.2) If you update the device to the official OTA, you will need a PC to reflash the recovery but you will not need to unlock the bootloader again.
