Well, I don't know what may be different, but it's the second time that I have upgraded my rooted Infinity to JB having Rootkeeper installed with an SU copy, I even selected the OTA survival option on SuperUser, and once it upgrades, I don't have any restore option on Rootkeeper.

I have been all day downgrading to ICS reinstalling all my apps with Titanium Backup and when everything is working on ICS, then I upgrade to Jelly bean to found myself exactly where I was this morning, this time, I double checked that I temporarily unrooted using RootKeeper, but I swear I did the same the first time, but for my surprise I don't have the results that people and in other forums are reporting, so What can be the difference? can anybody that have been able to re-root after upgrade, post the steps that were taken?

Thanks in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gling54:
In the same boat here. Been back and forth between ICS and JB three or four time now using various combinations of Rootkeeper (staying rooted, unroot with backup, etc) and can't find the magic combination that gets me rooted with JB. At least I've learned not to let Google back up all of my Apps (saving precious time and aggravation) until I finally get the upgrade and stay rooted. Would be nice to have some insight from those that have had success with this method.

Thanks for any help offered.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
In ICS, use SuperSU, dump SuperUser. Update binaries in SuperSU. DON'T unroot before applying the OTA.

I was in your boat till I left it rooted with SuperSU + OTA Rootkeeper and ran the update. I'm not sure OTA Rootkeeper does anything, since the update goes on while rooted and things are still rooted post OTA.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dahas:
What version do you use WW or US? my guess US dont work and all ppl who worked use WW rom update.

I my have to rename the ww on sd card and downgrade to ww .30 version then to get update to JB WW version.

Please can you confirm what version did u upgrade

Thank You
[Asus Transformer TF700] gling54:
Tried using SuperSU and staying rooted in Voodoo but results are the same (lost root). Is it possible that the US version ( ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T Firmware: V10.4.4.16 Only for US SKU (Android 4.1.1) ) is the reason root won't stick with update as previous post asked?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dahas:
Looking at size of WW and US, the US version is bigger and i guess we get some extra apps but dont know if the hole wher RootKeeper put su remain the same for bout JB .16 version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Just like my profile, I'm in the USA and yes my Infinity has the US ROM :) .

I fail again to keep root

I didn't even use to unroot temp because update will do even i keep root but i lose it because of update of replace entire /system where root exist.

On JB what was nice to see a file in /data/local/tmp/init.rc with root user and group but need a way to alter it and execute :)

Using pull and push didnt keep the root:root atribute was changed to shell bouth.

I was thinking if the blob can be modified and repack as blob again and use it as replace the original one
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Here is the right way to ugrade to JB and keep root. You need an update version, not a full version. Full version will wipe everything before upgrade.

1. Download dlpkgfile.bin (US version)

http://www.mediafire.com/?2ctnjai5b68c7im

2. Rename dlpkgfile.bin to dlpkgfile then copy the dlpkgfile to /cache then set permissions to rw-r-r.

3. Download command file:

http://www.mediafire.com/?yq1bt16mnm7tc8d

4. Unzip and copy the "command" file to /cache/recovery, then set the file's permissions to rw-r-r.

5. Temp-unroot if you want to keep your root with OTA Root Keeper.(skip this if you already done this)

6. Power off.

7. Reboot holding power on and volume down, when you see white text message on the screen release both buttons

8. Press power up to confirm recovery mode.

9. Update will install and upgrade your device.

10. Once done, use OTA root keeper to restore root.

11. If you want to switch to superSU, you can download superSU, launch the app, verify it's working, then you can un install superuser.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pdagenius:
Presumable, the bootloader still upgrades with the update JB file?
[Asus Transformer TF700] StiiLe:
Do you think that it will be possible to unlock the bootloader with ICS.30, or better, JB.16 ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
1. If you upgrade from .26 to JB - use Full JB version package from Asus site, (but need to unlock your device to root)

2. If you upgrade from .30 to JB - use dlpkgfile file method (unlock not required for root)

3. If you upgrade from .26 to .30 - use Full version .30 package from Asus site, (no need to unlock your device to root)

All above methods, will keep your bootloader intact.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Just realized something :o . When I was simply upgrading, I kept root via unrooting with OTA Rootkeeper before applying the JB update and then brining root back after applying the update. Once on JB, I wanted to factory reset and that's when I had to keep it rooted for the root to remain post factory reset. Unrooting before a factory reset though will cause root to go away and not come back unless you downgrade to ICS to root again.

Sorry about that. So use OTA Rootkeeper in ICS, unroot, then upgrade to JB, use OTA Rootkeeper to bring root back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] citizenkaine:
I did this with a locked bootloader.

Did this successfully with a locked bootloader. After system pushed and was written the infinity sat at 'signature' ok same as Darnell in post 27 of this thread. At this point I issued "fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot". System then hung at circling Asus screen per OP. I held the power button for 10 seconds to shutdown, went in and did a data wipe, and rebooted. Boot took quite a bit longer than normal, but came up as a wiped device with .30 after. This was on a completely stock system that had been OTA updated to .18.
[Asus Transformer TF700] toofank:
This method works up to 10.4.4.18.

From 10.4.4.18 to .20 I got lodsa FC and errors and basically got stuck in recovery!
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
Hi ASUS users! Just got this tab and am reading to understand root on this device. I have been rooting phones for a while so not too green. The download link to downgrade to ICS is gone from the ASUS site. Anyone have a copy they could host for a bit?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Here's the US version...

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21818788/EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip

This is US_epad_user_9_4_5_30_20120907 already renamed to be flashed with stock recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
Thanks a lot...I appreciate it!

OK so what I got is a TF700 with factory JB and am not unlocked. From what I read, I have to downgrade to ICS, unlock, root, install a recovery (TWRP preferred?) and then I can flash ROMs. As in any rooting process it seems like there are different ways of doing the same thing, which sometimes leads to bricks. The first step is the downgrade to ICS....
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
BTW, if you have a locked bootloader, this is the way to do it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1925230

That's how I did it before I unlocked, that's why the file is renamed... Otherwise it is the same file that I got from Asus.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

It depends on your goal here. You want to root only or unlock and install a ROM?

If you want to unlock, there's no need to downgrade to ICS. The only reason to do that is to get root without unlocking, which isn't possible on JB.
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
I would like to install custom roms and have root access for titanium etc....I get from reading that unlocking and rooting is needed for this....the idea that you can root without unlocking is confusing to me I guess...
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
If you only want root, you can do it from ICS without unlocking. But only from ICS (so you have to downgrade to do that). Follow the steps in this thread (first rooting method for ICS only).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833212

You can then upgrade to JB and keep root using OTA RootKeeper. That's what I did, and it worked perfectly until I got bored and decided to unlock and install CleanROM.

Unlocking and installing a custom ROM will of course give you root access, but you will loose your warranty in the process.
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
So if I only root I cannot install custom roms or use a custom recovery since the bootloader will still be locked? .....I need to read a bit more but the downgrade zip is a great place to start. ASUS must have been getting a lot of bricks from owners of previous tabs and have tightened the screws a bit on our ability to unlock the bootloader .
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Yes, please read carefully before choosing your own path... ;)

You can't install custom ROMs or a custom recovery unless your tab is unlocked...

I suggest you downgrade, then root, use OTA RootKeeper to preserve root, then upgrade to JB. From there, if it's not enough, unlock, install TWRP + custom ROM. You don't need to be rooted to install TWRP but it's easier with GooManager and this app requires root access...
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
I did this today and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much!
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Good! So did you go all the way to a custom ROM, or only root?
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
Unlocked today. Going to root and install twrp and CleanROM when I get back from taking my daughter to the airport. Let you know how it goes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You don't need to root if you install twrp via fastboot and then install CleanROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
Will this root me in the process?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes, CleanROM is pre-rooted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
That's what I was trying to tell you yesterday. Go read the thread I posted, there's two methods to install TWRP. One requires root (GooManager), the other doesn't. That's why I said in an earlier post that if you wanted ultimately to install a custom ROM, you don't need to downgrade in order to root. Just do it the fastboot way... Once in CleanROM (or any other ROM) you'll have root access.
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
Well I got it all set up. I did read your thread...it helped a lot...thanks! I appreciate it!

Just installed this ROM.

Its really nice. But how do I change the color of the battery, clock and wifi signal icons in the upper right corner of the screen from the ugly orange?

Also, I would like the change the color of the keyboard (which is also the same ugly orange).

I was looking in the settings for over 30 minutes and couldn't figure out how to change these things.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] smokinmoses:
Theme. Orange is stock color for collective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xmod3563:
You mean settings and Themes? I looked there, there is nothing to configure. It only gives me one 1 theme to pick (the Collective theme that has an atomic blast as a wallpaper).

I installed ADW launcher and switched to that launcher. But even after that, the battery and wifi icons in the upper right corner are still orange. And in settings/Themes, it still gives me nothing to configure and only 1 theme to pick (even after installing an ADW theme from Google Play).

Some more suggestions on how to change the icon colors would be appreciated. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] just_visiting:
You dl another theme and install it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xmod3563:
i did but the icons in the right corner are still orange.

i installed some themes for Go Launcher. And applied them and the icons in the corner are still orange.

when i go on google play and search for android themes its seems like the first 50 listed require GO EX launcher. is there any good theme that doesn't require a special launcher? one that someone can point me to? maybe if i apply a theme that doesn't require a launcher the color of the icons in the corner will not be orange anymore.

i also rebooted my phone a couple of times, that didnt fix the orange color of the icons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] just_visiting:
Not familiar with Go Launcher. I'm using Nova Launcher. I like Nova because it lets me backup my screen widgets. Saves a lot time when you flash every new releases. I use the Xperia theme with Nova.

I think the app "Rom Toolbox" has an option to change those colors up top there.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invinceable76:
I am having the low RAM problem that many of the International users have had in past threads on my Bell Atrix. I have been searching high and wide for a way to fix it, but I am not the most knowledgable with this stuff yet, but im trying to learn.

today I unlocked my devices bootloader, as well as flashed recovery using this thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

Now I was just going to stick to the formula and follow that ROM, but it seems to have been discontinued, and so has my ROM installation. This being said, I am still having the RAM problem and have no idea how to fix it.

Can anybody please give me a link to a simple ROM maybe similar to that Darkside one, or an Ice Cream Sandwich one, in which I can follow those instructions to install? And i'm assuming that once I install a ROM my RAM problem will go away?

Any help would be appreciated before my head explodes..:eek:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelorona:
If your ram problem is just that you see around 400MB, there a ramfix, search it that way and you will fin the guides and the package. You just need to flash it like a rom and everything will be fine again

If you want a GB rom with everything working try the nottachtrix one, very very stable and it has some kernels to pick inside the installers here you have it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1567241

You just need to put the package in your SD, then from recovery flash it. it will open an installer with the instructions. That installer is called Aroma, it's really easy to use, if your screen doesn't work, use the volume buttons to move and the power button to select.

For ICS there are some aokp ports, it really love them, but there are some bugs with the mediaserver module if you have corrupt files in your gallery
