root keeper andfactory default

---

HI

don't know if anyone cares or has tried it or not, but i just rooted our spare tpt and then got root keeper to do a backup, i then did a foctory restore with ota2 installed.

quick reinstall of super user and rootkeepr got me my root access back

i didn't know if a factory reset would keep root or not, but since sometimes a factory reset is the only way it's handy to know you want loose root.

cheers

factory reset didn't delete root, I do it always (but I don't have OTA2 yet)

factory reset won't delete root, because it will only delete data, cache and i think sdcard partition. root is on system partition, so why should it dissapear?

OTA2 deletes /system/app/superuser.apk and /system/xbin. that's the reason why you lose root when updating. rootkeeper protects su file from /system/xbin by making a backup copy to /system named su-backup. superuser.apk can also be downloaded in the market. so you can restore root

Anyone try this on the K1? As far as using the app to regain root after updating to say the 14_14 update?

I only put this up because I know there are people out there like me that would not be sure if you could do this or not and are much happier when they find someone that has already done it.

Just hope that this will put someones mind at ease.

It should work for all Honeycomb Tablets with update.zip-style OTA's

Any possible confirmation on this? Just having issues atm with recognizing my K1 through ADB, otherwise I would be using timmyDean's approach with a backdoor. If this app will keep root successfully, I'm surprised it isnt getting more attention.

If RootKeeper fails after OTA2, you still have root - only a little cp, chmod etc and all is done.

Care to elaborate? RootKeeper failed for me:
