[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
OK, need someone to tell me what I'm missing please.

Yesterday I was on stock .30 and rooted. This morning I took the JB update. My first boot was OK and I still had root, but when I rebooted, I got stuck in a loop. It kept rebooting after getting to the desktop. I assumed at least one of my apps was causing it, so I used the wipe data function with the power + vol down thing. that wiped everything, including root.

I tried to re-do the debugfs method, but that seems to fail. Strange thing is, if I use adb shell from the computer, I can su - root and get root access. That's how I was able to give read/write access to the data folder where debugfs does its' work. It's just that root check says I'm not rooted. Voodoo OTA has all boxes checked on my root check, except the one that says granted root permissions. The SU file does exist inside /system/xbin

So it's as if the tablet's user just doesn't have permission to do root. I loaded a terminal emulator on the tablet, and tried to su - root that way, and got permission denied. I would normally get the "superuser" popup when doing something like that -

So there's definitely a piece I'm missing. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
reinstall ota rootkeeper and restore root. factory reset doesnt wipe root access you just need to restore it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Sorry, should have mentioned that I tried that. Attaching a screenshot as to what it looks like. Notice the center checkmark stating "root permission granted" is not checked, and there's no option to restore, only to remove or temp unroot, so it's like, everything is good, except for the actual root permission

Root checker shows red (no access) and root programs like root explorer do not prompt for superuser permission before running as I would expect them to the first time.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
Did you run superuser? Did you reboot after running su for the first time?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Absolutely, more times than I can count. Here's another shot showing I can't execute such but it seems to have global execute...

Install supersu and not superuser....update the binary ...then try again
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
OK, uninstalled superuser, and installed superSU as you suggested and rebooted the tablet for good measure.

Ran it, and it prompted me, saying su needed updating, said yes do it, came back to me "installation failed", which I honestly expected because for whatever reason, current tablet user cannot get to su, even though it appears permissions said it should.

One other note, earlier I tried to refollow these directions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704209

That is how I rooted when under build .30, no issues at all. This time I hit a snag when trying to push files to /data/local - said I had no permission. now I got around it via ADB by simply typing su - root....root seems to work when I'm in ADB, but it doesn't work via tablet interface. I don't know what I'm missing here....

Just a thought.. I was considering flashing back to .30 using fastboot but I wasn't sure if that would even work. I tried loading the .30 zip into the root of storage and it detected it, as a downgrade even and asked to proceed. When done I was still on 4.1.1 not the older build.

BTW, thank you for taking the time. I really don't mean to be a pain here. I've not had this much trouble before...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Well sh++ This would explain why I couldn't redo the debugfs root process...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27990303

I decided to go have a look at the nexus 7 area since that's native JB and saw that. So' for those just buying this, you might want to root before you update.

Still doesn't explain my problem but at least explains why I can't use the solution that WAS good. :)

I was able to restore my root. See this post.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
I've really messed up now. Set perms wrong for the such that was on the tablet so now can't get root using adb either so unless there is a way to downgrade without root I'm screwed.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesuzukimethod:
I was so amped to grab JB, that I spaced that the OTA update would break root (i'm rooted but locked bootloader, b/c i was hoping 4.1.1 would come sooner than later!)

I had OTA rootkeeper installed, and while I was a little skeptical as to how easily it would work, it was 1-click simple and I just had to reinstall/update the binaries and reboot. I had the same check mark unchecked, but it worked, was straightforward, etc. It sounds like something got jacked in the JB flash, and I wonder if a full wipe/reset (&downgrade) to 4.04, re-root, then OTA update (using ota rootkeeper to hold root) might work for you?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
I would love to try the downgrade approach as that's the only one left I haven't tried, primarily because I have tried and haven't found a way to do it. If you know how with a locked boot loader then I'd love to hear.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesuzukimethod:
sorry, above my pay-grade at this point. I think i was overly optimistic about the "open-ness" of the device/bootloader (my other device is a galaxy nexus, so it's easy to do just about anything). I had a factory wipe or flash/img restore in my mind, but factory wipe wouldnt help (dont thinK), and If a stock 4.04 img exists, pretty sure there is a command set in fastboot that would let you restore using that image, but also pretty (99%) sure that requires an unlocked bootloader.

It sounds like there were a few changes in folder structure in JB that are limiting the root-ability, but my guess is the brainy folks around here will figure that out pretty quick, and JB will be root-able soon.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Yes it's the /data folder where the exploit was and is causing the issue. I saw one of the commands was flash all, but I was too scared to try that. I tried the update.zip approach, but it came back with needed files weren't present in the archive.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calisro:
What did you do exactly? Details!

You can try this.... It may work... The worst case is that it just doesn't work. :) I have not seen a confirmation yet as to whether this method works or not yet.

If you have a check mark unchecked, you likely have root issues. Which check box?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesuzukimethod:
Sorry - imprecise language on my part.

When I opened up OTA rootkeeper, it showed the same unchecked box (in rootkeeper) as others have mentioned, but I had "restore root" as an option. I did, and had no problems keeping root after updating to JB 4.1.1. OTA. I was using superuser but had checked "OTA survival" in Superuser's options, so I think that's how i kept root (seems like this "survival" option is baked in to Super Su, but a (non-default) option in Superuser).

Do I have to perform a data wipe/factory reset before flashing a custom ROM for the Galaxy S III SCH-I535? Isn't clearing cache and dalvik cache sufficient?

I feel ya on that, I haven't had a whole lot of time to do much of anything phonewise lately. I was planning on working with aokp ics and jb source and just haven't had the time to get started yet, about ill I've done lately is try to figure out the per app density mod used in paranoid android cuz i want to add it into aokp, but I haven't quite gotten it figured out yet much less even started a git up with the source and vendor trees I need to start compiling and testing the mod and roms out :( hopefully soon ill be able to start working on stuff for the et4g, I haven't done anything since I replaced my busted dev box except get a few things reinstalled and work on my work instead of work on my hobby damn jobs :banghead:

I know man it sucks I can't spend all day doing pointless stuff with my phone to "make it better"... which is why I figured I'd try a port from the

I9100, since it should have been an "easy" weekend project... now the more time I put into it the more I'm tempted to just switch over and build from source... my Linux HD is already set up for it, would just need to sync with aokp repos...I'm starting to think if I'm going to put a bunch of time into it i might as well do it the right way...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yeah I'm not big on doing ports myself I prefer to work with source just cuz its more satisfying when I'm done. I've never really ported a rom before I've done some.mods on existing roms for my devices and built my own stuff from source. I'll use ports just don't really see the point in making a port myself when source is available and i can actually compile it myself and have more control over what's going into it. Swapping files and editing build.props is boring for me, I get bored when I'm swapping the gapps out for inverted ones lol. Once you compile a rom and it boots it just feels like you actually accomplished something for yourself. Now if i can just figure out what the hell I need to edit to get PAD natively into aokp for a true hybrid rom I'll be really happy lol. If i can't get it working that way I'm just gonna settled for merging rom control into paranoid android and go that route, but I'm damn determined to get the PAD mod into aokp myself if i don't go retarded from :banghead: on my desk about 10 times a day lmao

PAD utilizes a modified Settings and frameworks/base sources. PAD also uses complete CM sources for everything else while AOKP utilizes AOSP

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I think you got that backwards aokp is based on cm source, at least the ics version was, I haven't pulled source for the jb version yet cuz i haven't really had the time. Im not sure what source base paranoid uses since they don't say a whole lot on their site and i haven't pulled its source just poked around in the git to see if i could spot anything for per app density. Either way it should be doable once I figure out what I need to add to the system ui and framework to allow for the individual apps to have their own density settings. Since cm is based on aosp and either one of the roms is based on cm or aosp its not like its gonna be impossible just may take some time and effort to get it working. :thumbup: I'd just rather have the hybrid tablet phone UIs native instead of using the tablet mod and having to change the entire roms density, especially since I like some apps tablet UI and prefer some to stay in phone UI. Paranoid Android is cool it just doesn't have enough customization options like aokp has with rom control, weather, battery bar, theme manager(may have this now our port on the et4g was like v1.5 or 1.6) etc

PA is CM based
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
So that makes both(at least ics versions) cm based which should make the ics version at least easier to do. Now if its the same on the jb version then once the ics variant is hybridized porting those mods to the jb version should be even easier :thumbup:

Yes there is it takes time to sync repos and add a vendor tree then compile and troubleshoot to get the rom ready for people who dont read or search so they aren't like "y u no make dis boot, u fix 4 me naow!" :rolleyes: so bumpity bump bump, read this thread, use the search button, or Google, or go bang your head aagainst the wall.

Especially when like 2 posts down from theirs theres aanother one liner asking the same thing. One line posts with no substance, especially repeated posts waste space and get old. Clicking search and typing in aokp epic touch or scrolling thru a few pages of general and q&a before starting the thread would yeild the answer and keep the clutter down

or format your crappy windows partition and use linux mint cuz windows sucks. Linux runs pretty much all windows programs is smaller uses less memory and is free and open source hmmm sounds like a win win to me plus u can just vm windows on it (dont know why you would want to )

its funny when people try to use a different os just to build something, especially when its superior os anyway and they should be on it all the time like AdamOutler :P

but seriously you should be proficient with it if your gonna compile source with it.
