How to update ROOTED TF300 to Jelly Bean - Transformer TF300T General

i thought when we CHECK for update it only checks for update, so i went to setting and checked for it, after checking it said there's a new update, see notification, and it's downloading, i didn't know that, i thought it will let me choose weather download and install or cancel. so i turned off wifi to stop downloading, now it's 3%. and i can't cancel downloading.
- my tablet is rooted, how do i get root back after the update?
- i disabled a lot of system apps: maps, supernote, browser, mynet, mycloud,... and a lot more that i don't use. i only disabled them, i didn't uninstalled/removed/deleted them. do i need to re-enable them before update?
- i deleted CMClient.apk and CMClient.odex in /system/app for asus device tracker problem, but i have a backup of those files. do i need to copy them back to /system/app?
- i disabled the smart dimmer / dynamic contrast. do i need to enable it now?
- i installed root apps: adfree,...
and how can i cancel the update? will i be able to update again after cancel? i want to turn wifi on, now using my computer typing this.
===============================
UPDATE (8/18/2012 6:24 PM PT): it appears that if you have SuperSU installed (and ran for at least 1 time) and backed up root using Voodoo OTA root keeper before updating, you will be able to restore root after updating. So for those who have a rooted TF300 and want to keep root after updating to Jelly Bean, here's how:
- Your device is rooted and have SuperUser installed (of course)
- Download and install and run SuperSU.
- Download and install Voodoo OTA root keeper and use it to back up root.
- Update
- Use OTA root keeper to restore root.
- Done
Me and some people did not have SuperSU installed, so we lost root after the update, and we're waiting for a way to root our devices. Thank you

Use Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to backup your root access, and restore it after the update.

You dont need to turn off wifi once it downloads it won't install automatically you have to select and tap on install. You will need to restore the deleted system apps for it to work. Disabled apps can remained disabled, not sure about the smart dimmer I would restore it just in case. Also if you have a modded build.prop you need to restore it to the stock one. So far the only rooted app that made me have boot loops on jb was ezoverclock so you should unnistall before. And if you are using atp tweaks restore to default noop and reboot before upgrading.

That's not working for me on Jellybean. Voodoo acts like it restores the root, but SuperUser doesn't have root access.

so there's no way to get root access back after update?
also how i don't know how to use voodoo root keeper, when i open it i see there are 5 options, 4 options are checked, (the last one protect su copy available not checked), i hit the button (forget the name of the button, but it's the only button to tap), now i see 2 buttons, i don't see any word like restore root? how can i restore root after update? open the app and tap what button?

Once you updgrade you'll see the restore root button when you open rootkeeper. I'm on JB and rooted.

Voodoo didn't restore my root access after updating to Jellybean, so I think its kind of pointless. But when you make a backup of your root access, all the check marks should be highlighted.

how did you do that? did you have to download super su or something like you said? i have superuser installed, but i don't know what super su is. also what do you do after you download it? open it and tap something? or it runs in the background and automatically helps keep root?
sorry i'm a noob, thanks for answering my questions

I backed up my root access before updating to Jellybean and now its gone. Voodoo acts like it restores it, but SuperUser clears doesn't have root access, it won't even update the binary.

Actually, thats not true. I was running on stock 8.6.5.6 rooted, and was able to update sucessfully. I verified the update in the settings. I have also verified with root checker that i am no longer rooted, as i was before the update. I bought my transformer only a few weeks ago. It came with 3.1 and i updated to 3.2 before rooting. Wonder if that or the rooting method has something to do with why i was able to update while rooted.

Same happened to me. As I understand it just rooting doesn't prevent future OTA updates, hence why I was prompted to download this latest, but why it now after failing it tells me there is no longer an update available is beyond me. I can only think ASUS has pulled it for some reason.

You only get it offered the once. Your device is then marked as updated at Asus end. If it didn't work because you were rooted, then tough...

Hmm interesting.
Which method did you use to root it?
Maybe we can pin point why the updates are failing for some people after rooting. I would like to root mine if it was 100% that the OTA updates would still work, even if I had to root it again after each one.

I'm having problems with OTA updates and have used Brk's ASUS Transformer HC3.2 RootKit Script to root my device.
I probably did something very stupid...in which I factory reset the device, but noticed that "superuser" is still installed in the apps list. I'm wondering now if i have to re root the device to uninstall superuser and then do another factory reset and then see if the OTA update works? suggestions appreciated
I always look at the updater script in the package before I update. This script contains a bunch of asserts that check the integrity of certain files before it will apply the update. If you can get the update package just open " \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" with notepad and that will show everything that's happening when the update occurs including the file asserts it makes. If you've modified these files then it will not update. 8.6.5.6 initially didn't work for me but by checking the script I found the problem was my srs_processing.cfg file because I tried to fix my speaker balance and this was a file that the script asserted. After restoring the original file I was able to update with stock recovery even though I had modified other system files. As long as the specific files the update checks are ok the update will proceed.

You need to UnRoot it, I don't think factory reset makes any difference to rooting

But it was V2 when i used it. It is now currently V4.
You can re-download the update if you clear your DMClient cache.
Follow the instructions in this thread.

I had the error with the Android + exclamation mark so I unrooted (reflashed both the stock ROM AND the stock recovery - to get rid of clockworkmod) then cleared the DMClient cache and was I able to update OTA.
As far as I am aware the OTA will not install if you have clockwork Mod flashed for recovery. But if you have rooted without flashing over stock recovery ie clockwork mod not installed the OTA should work but you will lose root by updating.

Same thing happened to me. Tried all the above, and can't get the update to come back.
Have any of you changed original system files whilst rooted? That's why it was failing for me. I managed to get the update again but it failed. I got it once more after it rebooted but took a copy first, unrooting made no difference. Unlike the downloadable firmwares from the ftp site which I checked out, the update script checks the integrity of a ton of files mainly the system apps that cannot be changed without root. If any have changed the script aborts.
Unfortunately even though I had backed up all of them with Titanium Backup, it wouldn't restore them and TB just hung. I tried all its options but nothing helped - a little worrying.
In the end I copied off the TB backup directory to a USB stick and used the NVflash recovery to restore back to factory. I then performed the upgrade again to both the tablet and dock without issues. Four hours later I have it almost back to where I want it.
Hope this helps some of you, even though it's not the best process, but the update imho is worth it

OTA Rootkeeper will only not work if the complete /system partition is wiped. At the moment this is not the case with current OTA updates.
Can you apply this method and update a rom in specifc prime rom. Thanks in advance
Worked as advertised on my B70. I had frozen DMClient using Titanium Backup so it didn't keep bugging me about the update. However when I thawed it out while applying the above procedure the transfomer told me I had an update and to click the notification in the bar, but there wasn't one (notification). A reboot brought things back the way they should be and I was able to click on the notification and complete the process.
Could I request the OP keep this thread up to date as to whether it is effective on future updates where ASUS tries to take away root (thinking particularly of possible ICS).
I will keep this update if we gonna have new updates.

Problems seeing any OTA update

Hey, I am having a problem with my B70 TF101 Transformer. I am not seeing any available OTA updates at all. ICS may not be out yet for me, but I don't even see the .21 update.
Here's some background, everything was fine and I was running a rooted Transformer. I installed Busybox off the market and it proceeded to remove root and make everything stop working (wireless, bluetooth, a number of other things).
I ran these steps:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006)
Update. trippmcnealy had success with a tweak to this. If it doesn't work you might want to follow his method.
1) Download http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB
2) Unzip so you have just have "WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip". Keep this zipped and copy to root of external SD.
3) Put another copy of the same file on your external SD card and name it "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip"
4) Put both files "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip" and "WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip" on the root of your internal SD card.
5) Power down your TF
6) Power up into recovery - by pressing the power button and volume down button. Then press volume up when instructed by the screen.
7) You should now see the Android guy with some gears turning. This is good, actually this is GREAT! This will go on for a minute or so and then the device will reboot on its own. It will then go to the boot screen and you should see a bar showing you the progress of the update.
8) Once it has completed, install RazorClaw and root your device.
It allowed me to recover root and I am running .19 once more. Everything currently works beautifully, except I do not have any OTA updates available.
My concerns are twofold: I used WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip as suggested, however I am in the US. I am wondering if that has an impact. I am also wondering if I don't see any updates because it THINKS I have .21 already completed somehow?
Any ideas?

You do have a custom rom on your tablet, you need to get the original update 8.6.5.21(US or WW) from asus web page and flash to stock. Then you will be able to get the OTA ICS rom.

I'm confused as to how I got a custom ROM without root access at the time. Following those steps again with 8.6.5.21 is what I've been trying and it never sees the update. I put the file on both the internal and external SD in the root with two files named correctly.
I am downloading these zip files right off of ASUS' support site.

Well, now that the thread derailment is over. For anyone who is reading this looking for help in a similar situation, here is what I did:
- I installed RecoveryInstaller.apk (Google'd for it) so I could get CWM on the Tablet.
- I then upgraded to 8.6.5.21 with that. I lost root (and CWM), but did not see any OTA updates.
- I sort of gave up at this point, since I assume it's past recovering without wiping my tablet AGAIN (had to wipe it when I did the upgrade which got me into this mess).
- I then found an upgrade to ICS which does not kill root, so I re-installed CWM with RecoveryInstaller and then flashed to ICS with that. I probably still won't see OTA updates, but I have CWM and root so I can just flash them manually if needed.
Not an elegant solution, but I lost no data and my Android tablet appears to be running just fine.

And why would you lose root access? Flashing the file this way should not wipe your data, thus the root remains.

The updated is in root/cache/dlpkgfile. The download probably failed to the overwhelming demand of download requests around the world, since most ppl have WW. Just keep trying to download again.

Have you tried another sdcard? If non work there might be a problem with your slot, maybe try factory reset. If it still fails you might need to exchange it and/or conctat asus

And why would you lose root access? Flashing the file this way should not wipe your data, thus the root remains.

It is know (like dothraki would say) that doing a manual update makes you lose root no matter what you do, you won't lose data but it seems something in the system gets overwritten making one lose root.

Since upgrading to jb, the Asus task manager widget causes a lock up on a black screen if i press the One Click button... anybody else experienced this on jb?

Try clearing the data from the task manager and/or doing a cold boot. I don't use the widget I have it disable though. If that doesn't work you might need to try a factory reset.

Okay my first firmware download failed at 43%
I cleared cache for DMClient and CMClient.. then the green arrow appeared again and then the download failed at 99%..
Is it the problem that everybody is facing?? Please help lol...
After reboot and repeating the process it check for updates and says there is no update for my device... or sometimes fails the download immediately...
OR: it shows there is a system update, but after 1 secs it loads again and shoes that there is no update...
I didnt delete any system app or unlock my bootloader

Just keep trying, wait a couple of hours and try again, my bet is that asus are overwhelmed with so many download requests. Failing download doesn't mean that your system is damaged or anything, after download if you get a laying android with a ! on top, then its failing installation.
Ok ppl, I am now on JB! Did a factory reset, then green arrow came right back. Root seems to have survived, trying to restore root now.....

the card is readable on my pc. Already reformatted (fat32), but still no luck...
it was working fine on ics before the update, idk if this is a bug in jb
i dont have other sdcard, so i cant tell, but its working fine before the update, so i think this is software related
is there any manual method of mounting the microsd, like using the terminal or anything? (since i have root)

OTA 4.2 & SuperSU v0.98

Has anyone been successful in update their Nexus 7 device with the following configuration:
1. Stock ROM
2. Rooted
3. SuperSU v0.98 (recently updated)
4. Voodoo RootKeeper
5. DPI set to 160, need confirmation but assuming this needs to be reverted back to 213
I have been viewing other posts of successful upgrades but with prior versions of SuperSU, so I was hoping i could find that one person who has the above configuration and was successful in updating.
Thanks,
JBIRD
Apart from 4, the Rootkeeper, that was my setup when I updated from 4.1.2 via the 4.2 OTA (adb sideload).
Worked fine.
Re-rooted using superboot and am happycat ever since.
SuperSU (updated) kills multiuser on my 4.2.
Even setting up a new user took over 15 minutes.
I kept getting SU requests from the new user for /system/bin/id. Why id was calling SU I have no idea - but it is a killer.
I was not able to recover until I used Voodoo RootKeeper to temporarily unroot. That fixed it. Multiuser performance is great now.
I will not use SuperSU again until a full fix is released. Really don't need root anyway until stickmount is fixed.

Thanks for the information. So do you recommend removing superSU and root from the device prior to upgrading?

No - keep SuperSU and RootKeeper.
As always - use RootKeeper to temporarily unroot before the upgrade.
After the upgrade, just wait for Chainfire to release an update before restoring root.
Actually - SuperSU seemed to work fine until I tried adding a second user. Only the multi user scenario gave me trouble.

Thanks again. Sorry for the newbie questions but to confirm, I choose Temp. Un-root button in rootkeeper prior to the upgrade then run the OTA update?

One last thing, I changed my DPI settings to 160, do I need to revert to back to 213...
I am not the right person to answer - but if buildprops is anything other than stock the update will fail. Think install checks the checksum.

Do you recommend to be on the safe side that I disable supersu as well prior to the upgrade?
Thanks again...
Really bad things happen if you disable Supersu and someone calls su. Leave it enabled and temporarily unroot.

Oh, you didn't mention you were on Safestrap. That may bring up some additional issues. And you do need to revert your build.prop to the original. With any luck, you have a build.prop.bak that you can restore. SuperSU hasn't caused me any problems, but I don't use multi-user.

Will follow your directions. I do have other apps that require root, once I update can I use the rootkeeper to re-enable root?
Thanks again for all your help..

If it was me - I would not have root enabled while on a secondary user.
I am sure SuperSU will be fixed in short order.
If you use MSkips Nexus 7 Toolkit and use option 8 it will not only unlock the boot loader, but root, install busy box, your choice of either cwm or twrp, recommends using the 3.34 bootloader, and recommends using SuperSu 0.98 due to problems with superuser not being updated yet. I can attest to the fact that the 4.13 bootloader causes root issues. At least on my 7. Apparently that isn't so on all 7s.

I am not going to use the multiuser feature as I am the only one who uses the tablet. Will rerooting work on the primary user?
Seems to work fine.

So if I try to update to 4.2 AFTER updating supersu to v0.98 it will fail for sure? Still waiting for stickmount *fingers crossed* and Google to fix Bluetooth before I even attempt 4.2 anyway. Would uninstalling updates for supersu through app info/settings work? Tia

Only problems I have seen are trying to set up / use a second user while rooted.
Stay away from multi-user and you should be fine.
Note - problems I have reported with SuperSU may just be related to multiuser and root, no matter how you get root.
I have not tried the "superuser" app, so I have no idea if the problems will be the same.
