How to update ROOTED TF300 to Jelly Bean

[TDMVP73]

did you backup with ota rootkeeper before updating? If so you should be able to restore root. Then download and run supersu

SuperSU won't do anything once you've lost root, right?

I backed up with OTA Voodoo Rootkeeper and it said it restored root. Then I tried installing SuperSU and it said installation failed because it couldn't get permission from SuperUser to update the binary.

Sooo... I think we're up a creek with no paddle right now.

hmm do you have superuser installed? if you do try unnistalling and reinstalling.

Yes, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same thing. Voodoo shows me as rooted, but SuperUser isn't showing any root permissions.

have you tried using other root required apps see if they work? Try running titanium backup

Titanium Backup says "Failed", could not acquire root privileges.

Weird I'm out of ideas I guess you will have to re-root. Don't know if the one click root will work...

i only need root access because i want to install AdFree and disable the stupid smartdimmer "feature"

btw thank you for helping us. you should make a new thread to let people know they need to install supersu and back up root before updating

They added a settings option for the smart dimmer. Go into settings asus customized setting and untick enable smart back light adjuster voila. ASUS Ftw

One click root doesn't work, at least using debugFS automated root.

This sucks! Hopefully the developers will figure out a way to root Jellybean 4.1.1, because you can't rollback to ICS once you upgrade.

no i didn't root mine using that method
i used this method (1 click transformer root) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193

have you tried that one

thanks.
i guess because everyone is complaining about that feature here so they added it.
there's also a new "Power Saver" menu in settings

No, I haven't. Do you think it will brick my device? :laugh:

I don't know if that tool was made with Jelly Bean in mind.

Yeah, I just tried doing a cold boot and the same thing.

Voodoo shows rooted and still no root.

what is a "cold boot the running SU"?

i rebooted my tablet, now the option "root permission granted" in voodoo is not checked anymore. but it still says "device rooted"

I think he meant, do a cold boot and then run Super User.

sorry for saying this but i don't know is it safe to run it that's why i asked you have you tried it.
i'm kinda cruel
