If you're on ICS root with debugfs.
Install OTA Rootkeeper
Following the directions for temp unroot...OTA or manually upgrade incrementally to Jelly Bean.
Use OTA rootkeeper to re-root.
If you are on Jelly Bean
Downgrade to ICS .30
Install OTA rootkeeper.
Root with debugfs.
Temp un-root
OTA to Jelly Bean
Re-root with OTA rootkeeper.
There's all kinds of guides here in the forums.
Take a few moments to read them.
They are stickied in General and Development.

I'm going to update xoom to JB (OTA).
Will root be lost ? How to regain root ?
Is root keeper work ?
I'm gonna try OTA then EOS rom just to see the different.
Once I go JB OTA , will I able to flash EOS rom ? (I think yes, with unlocked bootloader and cwm)

Yep.
I was planning to flash Jelly but decided that I'm happy with ICS and liam wilng to wait for the OTA update. What's the process for preparing for the OTA update?
The method I used to root the phone was I believe the easy one click root debugfs-root. I used EZ-Unlock to unlock the bootloader. I also installed EZ-Recovery. Thanks.
Flash back to stock before applying any ota from Verizon

Give this a try. I just posted this in the development section. Original OTA updates modified to work on rooted, custom recovery, bootloader unlocked devices with Google Wallet and NFC libraries installed.

(edit) If you don't have the latest SW for the S3 yet you can apply those OTA updates on your rooted, custom recovery, etc. device. When the Jelly Bean OTA comes down I'll be sure to make a rooted, custom recovery-friendly version of that OTA as well.
Hello, i had my tf700 with .16 rooted, but still lose the root using rootkeeper while updating to.18.
So, I follow the topic on tf700 general to downgrade to ics
Now i am rooted with ics but cannot receive ota update
I tried download the .16 framework from asus and root like what i did first time to update from ics to jelly bean
Firstly, protect root using rootkeeper
2. Copy and fix permission to /cache and /cache/recovery
3. Temp. Unroot
4.insert sd card and system update detected
5. Click on .16 update
6. Wait for updating
7. Open rootkeeper but the backup had lost
Can anyone help me to root get a root in jb?
I was lose root from .16 to .18 and now lose root in .30ics to .16jb update

The app too keep root is called "OTA root keeper" for a reason - it cannot work if you install a complete firmware from the Asus download via SD card. You need to do the upgrades using the OTA "dlpkgfile" files that you could have saved from your /cache partition before each upgrade. Since you didn't do that, you can download these files (for US or WW SKUs) from somewhere in this forum. There is also a guide how to install the OTA update manually.
Note that OTA are incremental, so to go from ICS to JB.18, you must first apply the OTA to JB.16, then to second OTA to .18.

Enjoy.
Guide is for going from .30 to .16 without OTA and without unlocking while still keeping root. The same process will work from .16 to .18.
I just bought the TF700, and have a few questions about the functionality of upgrading to JellyBean.
Primary goal: Root (to wipe bloatware) and upgrade to JB from ICS (without unlocking and therefore void warranty).
From all the reading Ive done, it looks like it appears fairly easy to root from ICS, but everything dealing with JB seems to require unlocking. Is this true, and if so, why?
If I simply root from ICS, then upgrade with the stock JB .zip from Asus, will it wipe my root as well?
I want to keep things simple and just run JB with all the bloatware cleaned out. This is for the fiance', so KISS is the moto for all of this
Thx.

1. We can't root while on JB because our dev have't found a way to do it yet. When unlocking, It allowed us to to install custom recover and use it to push superuser app(root app) to the OS or flash already rooted rom to our device,
2. Upgrading from ICS to JB with OTA root keeper will preserve root, therefore you should have root after upgrade to JB. But if you don't have root and you already on JB then you only have 2 options: a) downgrade back to .30 to root or b) Unlock the device to install custom recovery and use this to push root or pre root rom to our device.
Hope it clears for you.

Perfectly. Since Im still on stock ICS, I can simply root as normal, then OTA for JB upgrade. This is exactly what Im wanting to do, just needed the clarification. Thanks!

I had root when I had ICS but didn't take the necessary precautions before downloading JB OTA. Any idea on how I can get root now?
Use mattlgroff's utility to return to ICS. Take the 6MB update, root, install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, open it, Protect root, Temp unroot, Take the JB OTA, Open voodoo and restore root.
yes but that still didnt work~~~!!!
it says i have root but i dont.
voodoo says congratulations but im not rooted
update SU
