Keep root - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have the app voodoo ota to keep my root access when I do the ota update from 4.1-4.1.1. How exactly do I use this application? Once installed just do the update?
Thanks

once its installed hit protect root, when all the check boxes are checked you can update. After the OS update finishes go back into rootkeeper and hit the button "restore root" , thats it

I haven't touched the app and it doesn't have the protect root option. However, all boxes are checked. Should I be good to go?

Should have at the very least granted it root access. This is what it should look like though when its safe

Thanks! That's what I'm getting

Can I root after the OTA

I'm on At&t. Can i root after the OTA update and where is the best tut?

Yes, you can root after accepting the OTA. You will have to decide yourself on which root method to use. They are easy to find in the Developement section.
If you have root before update, download voodoo OTA root keeper. Run it before upgrade. After upgrade, use it to restore root. Just remember you have to be on stock recovery for update to apply.

There are a few ways. Check my sig I find this way works good. YMMV. Jump in the water is fine.

I just used the toolkit to root again afterwards.
Toolkit option 4?

Yes. However, mine is the donate version, so I'm not sure if that will make a difference. You might want to check out the thread first.
Why not just fastboot flash your recovery and then use that to flash your su zip?

SkyGo - Bypass root check SmoothROM

Does anybody know how to bypass the root check on SkyGo app as I have now rooted my device and Sky doesn't apparently support rooted devices,
Any help is much appreciated!

SmoothRom 5.1
Clear the root permission from SuperSU/Super User and then open the app back up. When it asks for root, permanently deny it root access.

Don't see option to move apps to sd card?

I had an Active and remember seeing this. option in the settings (to move apps to sd), but I traded it in for a regular s4 and this phone doesn't have that option. If I check for a software update via att it says I'm up to date, how can I tell for sure though? I did try searching both xda and the web but I didn't have much luck, so please go easy on me, thank you....

From what I know, we haven't had that update yet. The active and international devices have it. I think there are options with rooting and roms.

Thank you, I'm using folder mount so it's not a big deal, I just always want to have the latest firmware. When the update does come out, will I be able to update over the air even if I'm rooted (by using OTA rootkeeper), or will I have to flash the firmware via Odin and restore everything? Thanks!

You need to run the root program again with the ADB drivers. I had those same issues, Back when I didit , iRoot 6 allowed me to get back to Root, and then I updated to the better SU.
I tried doing that and it said superuser was already installed..can't remember verbatim, but it was along those lines.

Uninstall SU, re run the latest root ADB program, then it will not error out on SU, and you can install the better SU. Take your time, read, read, read, the instructions it will work.
