I'm afraid it didn't work.
I tried the oldest version though, the only one with the sh script.

Hello,
I managed to run the latest version and it seems we've got a problem. Apparently Transformers and Nexus 7 are not "permeable" to the exploit.
Needs to be investigated, there is a post in the Nexus 7 section...

Rooted at 4.1.1 - Should I take the 4.1.2 update?

I just got this device as a new phone. it came with 4.1.1.
I followed the procedure to downgrade, root, and upgrad.
I am now at 4.1.1, rooted.
The 4.1.2 update has downloaded on my phone, and it is asking me if i want to install. Will i loose root? is Voodoo broken for this update? or will i be ok if i temp un-root, and then take the update?
I don't want to take the update if it will kill my hard-earned root. I know it is sometimes lost when taking this update. Should i do it or not? and what is the "right" way to do it to protect root?

be helpful to know your device, if u on xt 925 you can, if on xt 926 then chill

Not dev edition. Will stay put. Thanks for the input
What do we miss by not taking the update? anything of value?

Just unroot, install update and restore root. That's what I did and it was fine, until someone told me SBF'ing would give me better battery life, now I lost root. Wish I had just left it. I have XT926 non-dev edition. Use voodoo rootkeeper.

We got root now!

No worries, we now have root ability for the HD on 4.1.2 thanks to Dan R! Check for it as I am unable to post links at the moment.
I didn't see a link here on XDA yet so forgive the external link.
I had tried SBF back to 4.1.1 and 4.0.4 after a buggy 4.1.2 update, only to soft brick my phone. SBF of 4.1.2 got me functional again thank goodness. so I waited for a root app, got one yesterday.

even with root out for 4.1.2, it was safe to take the OTA on 926 consumer.
I took a chance and upgraded my maxx hd using the OTA (i used rootkeeper)... but it stayed rooted no problem after the update and didn't run into any issues or bugs that i could tell... Was also able to boot up another slot on still on 4.1.1... Nothing too significant in 4.1.2 over 4.1.1 though... but it's moot now since the root's been released

[Q] TF300T upgrade 4.1.1 to 4.2.2

Hi!,
I have my asus TF300 unlock in version 4.1.1 with the BlueROM (this is since Oct 2012).
I would like to go for 4.2.2 (mainly flash 11 support is the cause)
Ive been searching and I can see a lot of brick devices...
Mine is already unlocked and rooted in 4.1.1
Is there any guide to go for 4.2.2?
Do I need to:
- update bootloader
- install room
- root 4.2?
Or what? I am confused...

update done with success!

hey im in the same boat. im on an old CROMI rom 4.1( rooted and unlocked boot loader) and i want to go to stock 4.2 and then re-root.
how did you complete this. im worried about bricking it.
i was planning on flashing the stock 4.2 (10.1.6.15 update) from asus then rooting it with the new method to avoid bricking.
is this what you did?

Yes..u can root the phone..!:good:

While you can unlock the bootloader from the Motorola website, you will be able to root it, so you can always root, no matter the Android version (unless Moto decides to go all Samsung on us and change the security system in the bootloader)

PLEASE use search before posting "How to root (insert phone model & version here)". There are literally dozens of posts that actually answer your question. Have a good day.
EDIT: There are currently no rooting methods for phones that have received the OTA update.
