So just wondering I have OTA root keeper and superuser SU but i guess when i went from .16 to .18 somehow OTA root keeper lost my root and now I am un rooted without a way to get it back from what I can tell is there anyway to recover this since at one point I did have a protected su with root keeper.

Try this, download superuser (not superSU), open the app, then download OTA rootkeeper, install and open up, see if you have the "restore" option.
Gave it a try its detecting but doesn't seem the SU survived the OTA update here are some pic's of what I got when I tried it if it helps

Kinda worried now, is this a common problem or an isolated incident?
Did you use supersu prior to root or just supersu??

Somebody know how fix it? I want unlock bootloader, but i worried about warranty. If i can lock bootloader later when i need it, i will unlock tf700 quickly. Unless i`m wrong
Currently this is NO WAY to relock bootloader after you unlocked, so if you want just root your device for now.

I had backed up root with Voodoo OTA RootKeeper SuperSU but lost root in the last update. I uninstalled Voodoo, and then reinstalled it and my root was back.

I had superuser and OTA root keeper prior to update from .16 to .18 seemed to work from ICS to JB but guess this last update did something that possibly superuser and OTA couldn't protect the su backup from being wiped.

Give this a shot, open up your superuser and keep it opens, also download SuperSU, open it up also, then download and reinstall OTA root keeper, launch the program and see if you have the option to restore root. I think you should have check the option "protect" root before the update. If you only use "temp unroot", sometime it works sometime it doesn't.
Confirmed. I already had Superuser (and Elite!) installed, as well as Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, from my trials with the last upgrade.
After installing the update, I simply opened Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, restore root, closed Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, re-opened Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper (to verify all 5 check marks show up) and then ran Titanium to make sure it was able to obtain root privileges, and finally verified that the su binary was the most current in Superuser.
Worked like a charm.
didn't work for me,
i had a copy of su,
and temp unrooted.
but i installed the zip file. could that be the reason? (cause on the fly always failed!)
tried to uninstall voodoo and reinstall. open superuser and super SU and then open ota,
all didn't work.
any idea?
geri
I did the swap from prime to infinity. I rooted and installed OTA rootkeeper immediately.
An ICS and JellyBean upgrade later I used it to restore root.
I don't know why it is failing for others

Never rooted my TF101.. But now need root to be able to install an important app..
I have searched the web and didnt find any info for the new 9.2.1.24
So is there any working root?
Thanks
If you have a serial number that starts from earlier B70 and below, use BRK's root toolkit.
Do a search here; I've always used this to root my B60 regardless of the firmware version I have.

Hmm.. I live in Swe.. And got .24
.24 is WW and they written about it in the ota changelog info
Here in France, I got the update late last friday.
I think it'll take some time to get widely distributed.
I'm interested in a rooting solution for my C10 though (never rooted this TF101 before), but I'm not stressed about that.

I couldn't use any root exploit when I upgraded to .24. I bricked my device when I accidentally flashed the wrong kernel on my B70 (gotta clean out that MSD Card), so I got lucky when I was able to get into APX and flash .17, root it using ViperMod (using option number 1 for the tf201), then used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, upgraded to .21, used VOTA Rootkeeper again to reestablish root (and then used Titanium Backup to fix, as it indicated there was an error with the folder structure), then upgraded to .24 and again, used VOTA rootkeeper and Titanium backup to fix.

However, there's a noticeable increase in speed. Did anyone else have the same experience with rooted, stock units?

This process is the only one that asures a root on .24, been doing it for some friends with TF101 tablets.
you can use peri i think it is the easiest wayn to root
I have seen this discussed in several places, but I think a formal thread on the issue is in order.
Jelly Bean Has been updated with rock solid security and, so far, the only known way to root Jelly Bean at the moment is to unlock the bootloader and flash the su binary from a custom recovery. It is possible, however unlikely, that some dev will find a way to root jellybean that doesn't require unlocking.
If you wish to have root access with Jelly Bean without unlocking, it is highly reccomended that you root your tablet before updating.
Before updating, download the SuperSU app from the market, and let it update the su binary (Rootkeeper has failed to keep root with Superuser on the tf300). Make a backup withVoodoo OTA Rootkeeper. If there already exists a backup, delete it and backup again so that your backup is the SuperSU binary.
Do we have to uninstall Superuser and then install SuperSU or can both be installed?

Both can be installed. Just make sure SuperSU updates the binary so that it becomes the dominant app.

I've lost root with .26 and .30. have always been able to re root with debugfs.
how can i maintain root this time? i use voodoo each time, and i have deleted su copy, then resaved it, that didn't work last time either.
i have superuser AND supersu installed. i can't uninstall superuser.
if i buy the pro key for supersu, will that save my root?
Man, I'd root if I could but I haven't had any luck. I run DebugFS and it seems to be only partially rooted. Sometimes the Superuser log shows the shell was given access. Root Explorer seems OK. But Superuser Update Fixer, Titanium, Root Checker, Terminal Emulator, and MyBackup all say they've been denied. I don't know what else to do. I've tried all the various fixes in the forums.
Also to note you need to be rooted to use the SuperSU app. I have always been rooted via debugfs method and decided I wanted to preserve come JB. I installed SuperSU and it asked for root permissions. After that I ran the binary updater, and then deleted superuser. THEN I went to OTARootkeeper and deleted old backup, and rebacked up. Now when programs ask for root access the SuperSU asks for root permissions so I know it's worked.

What is "the binary updater"? Last OTA, I had SuperSU and Voodoo OTA and lost root, so I'm a bit concerned there may be something I should have done that I missed. I currently have SuperSU (uninstalled old Superuser) and Voodoo OTA. All the boxes are checked on my Voodoo OTA dialog including "protected su backup".

I can't see what the problem is. Make sure all of the checkboxes are checked in Voodoo and you should be good to go. superuser can be uninstalled using the root uninstaller app.

Root with debugfs seems to be iffy. Try opening the superuser app, then switch out of it. If superuser is running in the background, the apps should be granted root access.
Also, to restore, you just:
1. Run SuperSU manually once
2. Run Voodoo OTA and restore
In that order, right?
Wonder if I'm good?
By default does OTA Rootkeeper keep the SuperSU or Superuser APK? I had SuperSU installed before installing and backing up root. Was curious if I am good to go, or if I will have to redo it?

Whichever app manages root access at the time the backup is made, it backs up the binary for that app.If that binary is the supersu binary than you're good to go. The apk and the binary are separate files though. if you loose the app, you can simply reinstall it from the market. The binary requires root access to manage.

if you want to root, i would definitely do it now. mainly because the process if very easy and MOST people have had no problems with it. We're not sure what will happen once JB comes out though.
as for unlocking, i'm not too sure. only thing to be aware of would be that you won't get the OTA after unlocked so you would have to flash it manually. though at that point, you may just go flash some custom roms. just take those into consideration and see what is more important to you.
Bump since jb is out.
Before I upgraded to JB, I saved the root with OTA Root keeper and after upgrading I restored back root with it but none of my application that require root are working. In OTA Root Keeper it has all the all the checkboxes checked (except Root Permission Granted). I have installed SuperUser and also tried Su but it does not work.
Any suggestion?
reboot the Infinity and then check in OTA RootKeeper and see if it still reports root.

OTA rootkeeper only works for OTA updates. If you install using the internal SD method you will lose root because it erases the files OTA rootkeeper puts there. Sorry there is nothing you can do to get root back unless you have an unlocked bootloader.
To OP:
Chances are you forgot to temp unroot before doing the OTA, many people are reporting rootkeeper failed if they forgot to temp unroot before OTA.
Try manually installing superuser, maybe that will do it
Check with an app like root checker
If you already have superuser installed try uninstalling and reinstalling it, sometimes that works if its just superuser being annoying.
Hope that helps :/

Yeah, several guides suggest that you might have "partial root" and that rmoving/reinstalling supersu restores full root access.

I never did untemp before with OTA and so i tried that. I rooted at ICS, saved the root with OTA and then untemp rooted and then upgraded to JB.. however I think i got a partial root because when I look at the OTA app again in JB there was no option to restore root..
so i tried SU E and it saus SU binary not found, i had only checked OTA survival though but there was two apps under the allow list: Root Checker Basic and Superuser. After unckecking ota survival i couldnt recheck them though. So here i am stuck on JB without root again. I have not tried bluewr post yet which i am about to. Also i hope flash still works in jb

Flash will work, you just need to install it either in ICS, or after as a third party app, as Google play doesn't allow download, only update now.
And try either SuperSU or Super User only, not both, and before temp unroot, be sure to update the binary on which ever one you use.

The trick is once you rooted, you need to launch superuser, and it will auto update your binary, then install OTA root keeper., then save root, then temp unroot, then upgrade, then use ota to restore root.

Is the manual update available anywhere for the US SKU? I tried to download it from the Asus support website but the file is just completely missing.
I screwed up OTA updates/unlocking somehow when trying to revert to an earlier version so I could reinstall root. By the time I was frustrated enough to finally unlock it, now it won't talk to Asus servers and I can't unlock it.
I can confirm I have Rootkeeper, unrooted before the update as I do all of them, then after the update was able to restore root with no issues. All rooted apps are working fine.

Even the kernel source is already up. The only change in the kernel is that they fixed the bug in the framebuffer that was exploited by Motochopper (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255491 for details).
Is there any information on what this new update is supposed to be for?

Apparently, fixing security bugs. Maybe more (fixing other bugs), but I don't know.
How I installed the latest update on my unlocked Asus
I downloaded the update from Asus.com and extracted the zip file.
I used twrp to flash the update which when rebooted gave a stock rom, recovery and no root. I then then entered fastboot mode and flashed twrp and backed up my stock unrooted rom. I then flashed my backup of Cromi.X 5rc2
I hope this helps people who like me want to install the latest update from Asus

Sure, that method works - but why would you want to do it?
You are replacing your custom rom/recovery with stock just to replace that with a custom rom/recovery/kernel.....??

I do it to make sure that my firmware is always up to date and to have a backup of the latest rom from Asus on my tablet.
This method will also help people that may want to return to stock.
Hello i temp unroot with ota root keeper in .8 after update .10 i don't see icon RESTOR Anyone have this problem ?
My root is totally failed ? (i root it with motochopper in .8)
Another confirmed case OTA RootKeeper worked.
The first step was I re-enable all the stuff I had disabled. I then used Titanium to make a good backup just in case. After backup completed, I rebooted just to have a clean screen. Went in OTA RootKeeper and do the temp. unroot. Download the update and install. Let the tablet reboot itself and used OTA to restore root.
This was the first time I had a smooth OTA update. The last several messed up (every time) I had to do the full flash to make the tablet useable.
