I've just tried to root the device using the debugfsroot.bat method and it is not working.
I have followed the instructions, reread them to make sure I've done it correctly but no joy.
Anyone else had this problem?
That doesn't work anymore on JB.
If you want to keep your locked bootloader, then downgrade to ICS again and root it. Then use OTA rootkeeper to keep root after upgrading to JB.
Search the forum how to downgrade.

the RootDebugfs.bat file has a number of error condition handlers, what error are you getting when attempting to root?

It is not apparent that there are any error messages. I've attached two screenshots, including the final one which claims I have root.

After you finished, you have to launch (open up) the superuser app, then download "root checker" from the market and use it to verify that you have root.
Well it seems as I've managed to solve the problem. I went into Superuser after doing the root, then under info, checked and updated and now root checker says I have root!
Just upgraded to Jellybean following instructions in one of the threads and have root as well. Now to install CleanROM!

I used to be rooted at one point (not unlocked, i do not want to unlock my tablet), but after updating to jellybean i am not, ive looked at some of the guides for this, but dont think my situation is quite like theirs. I downloaded voodoo ota rootkeeper before hand and backuped my su, but i could never make it restore. The only checkboxes i have checked under Voodoo OTA rootkeeper are 'superuser app installed', 'system supports root protection' and 'protected su copy available'. I click 'restore root' and it says 'root su restored' but this does not seem to actually do anything.
The other 2 checkboxes 'device rooted' and 'root permission granted' remain unchecked seemingly no matter what i do :/. Is there a tutorial i missed that applies to my problem that does not require unlocking? or is there just nothing i can do to restore it?

Im really interested to know how you root without "unlocking" your bootloader, cause when I wanted to root, i need to unlock my bootloader.

The hard part is getting su on your device and you already have that if voodoo does its job. Run superuser or if you have supersu run that ( if you are asked to update then do so ). Rerun voodoo and try to restore root. Still no love install supersu from play store and then run it, try voodoo again, no love reboot and try voodoo again.
Much easier to do than type.:good:

Hay guys I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (GT-I8910N) an I've rooted it, but now I see there is new update coming out an I want to unroot my phone to update it. And I'm interested if any of you guys tried to unroot your phone using SuperSU's permanent unroot, I saw that option, but it just sounds to easy. So if I use that option will I be able to download new update and use NFC again? And will I be able to root my phone again?

the only way to truly unroot your device is to flash the stock firmware back onto it.
the unroot option in superuser or whatever does not remove all traces of root on any phone, even though it may technically be no longer rooted.

Hi,
my phone has been having issues since rooting. if i unroot then downgrade, can i root again? supersu says unroot is permanent- not sure what it means
Unroot on supersu not working on oneplus 2...
stuck in 'please wait...'
i get "uninstalling, please wait..." , and it never completes.
this happens when i try to use: "full unroot, cleanup for permanent unroot" (in settings).
the full unroot is simply not working/stuck, acting like it is uninstalling. i tried a bunch of reboots, and root checker confirms i'm still rooted.
i have already bricked my phone once, previously, trying to unroot (because this feature did not work on my device: oneplus 2, and i got over-zealous trying to unroot).
help! i don't want to brick again trying to unroot.
would like to get updates when 1+ make them available.
no help googling this problem.
chainfire said to check xda...
once bitten, twice shy...
if this should be in another forum, can moderator switch my post there?
sc
possible fix...
unticked unknown sources for apps under security, and supersu let me "unroot." i made a number of attempts to unroot and got no results til i did this. when 1+2 gets an update, i will know. root checker says, "Sorry! root access not properly installed...," now.

Update SU from play store (don't open yet) and install Busybox. After installing busybox, open SU. SU will recognize busybox and install the binaries!
If this dosen't work then use motochopper again.
I just ran that script once again, it works now. Thanks

Hey Navneet thanx,,,,,, The problem is solved.... Here are the steps that i followed
uninstalled super user from my device
rooted the phone with motochooper
Installed superSu (when you root with motochopper you will already have super user installed on your device but the binaries were not installed so instead what i did was installed SuperSu of chanfire so that i will get a conflict message and the chainfire will unstall the default super user and update the binaries for me.
And Bingo! Luckily it worked...............

Almost the same problem as above but not really
Hello guys! My name is Vlad, this is my first post here and this is my first time trying to root a phone. I got a little problem so I would really appreciate if you could guide me a bit step by step out of it.
I have a Sony Xperia L phone and I have tried to root it using an app that uses Motochopper exploit, downloaded from this link:
htt p:// ww w.4shared.com/zip/6WyYYjpCce/Xperia_L_ROOT .html
delete the spaces in order for the link to work. Sorry for not respecting the rule but there would be no other way to show what I used
It seems to work but I have an error that occurs at the end:
"Rooting phone...
This may take a few minutes.
Failure.
Cleaning up...
Exploit complete.
Press enter to reboot and exit."
I have tried the ideas mentioned until now: reboot, reinstall, update, etc. but nothing seems to work. Any idea to help me please?
P.S. I am not trying to offend anyone by saying this but if I need to use some program to install something complicate please explain me as I am a beginner into this.
Thank you!

There is no way you can get back TA partition if you lost the backup too. But its just for some warranty and DRM purposes. It shouldn't affect the user experience in general. As for Whatsapp and other updates, its completely unrelated to rooting or TA partition.

I think the title says it all; I have posted in the development forums but it seems the Xoom forums are slow these days...
I have the 4.1.2 stock OTA and I prefer it to any of the ROMs. I have installed recovery and the bootloader is unlocked. When I attempt to root with the universal root tool it states it is successful; but upon reboot; rootchecker says no.
Any help is appreciated.
Success!!!
Downloaded the su package from post 2 in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1825753
Flashed and it worked fine.
Likely an incompatibility with the SU package for ICS and the modded one someone made for JB.
Bad link
Looks like a bad link. I get a 404 error when I try to follow it. I can't seem to get my Xoom to root on 4.1.2 either.
