How can I go from rooted 9.4.2.11 to rooted .13?
I have heard there are issues with 11.1 to .13
EDIT:
How you are supposed to update:
* Install VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper.
* Run it and backup your root
* Run the new OTA update.
* Start the VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper.
* Press restore root button.
However I did something wrong with VooDoo I think, so I lost root but not totally..
So here is what I did:
*Downloaded the update manually from here
*Folllowed the instructions on that link to update
*Once updated, I had lost root and VooDoo wouldn't restore...again probably my fault somehow
*I plugged my TP into my mac computer
*IMPORTANT: Force Close both - "Splashtop" and "com.asus.sync"
*Then follow this crazy guys instructions on rerooting - Mac/Linux Only
*Fully rooted again!

If you are already rooted, download OTA Rootkeeper and then back up your root before installing the OTA. Open up OTA Rootkeeper after installing firmware and restore your root.
It is simple.
If you are on 9.4.2.11.1 you are screwed for now.

If you use the .11 update then you just:
* Install VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper.
* Run it and backup your root
* Run the new OTA update.
* Start the VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper.
* Press restore root button.
* Done...
There is an official BETA out also. .11.1... dont know about that one.

Yes, OTA Root Keeper worked for me.

For some reason the root keeper didn't work for me...won't restore root. Guess I will try rerooting with one of the other methods...

I'm currently on 9.4.2.11, rooted, and whenever I try updating to the OTA .13, my prime reboots and then after a couple of seconds shows the picture of andy lying on his back with the red triangle and ! Any ideas on how to solve my OTA issue? Thanks
I was having trouble too, I downloaded the zip file found here and followed those instructions. Worked great, except I lost root...
To help anyone reading this insted of some other thread, if you have root make sure you download Voodoo OTA rootkeeper from the market, run it, and back up root before even downloading the update.
Op editted, in case anyone has the same problem...
On another note, I truly hope there is more dev support once the bootloader is unlocked.
reroot
Anyone know of a way to re root if you did the update w/o the root back up?

You can't restore root from a manual update (micro sd) because /system is formatted.
You have to re-root.

Just use whatever method you prefer for 9.4.2.11.
Hi,
I've been away for a while butbefore I left it seemed there was no way of rooting .21 without unlocking the device which is something I won't do as my camera is faulty and so will need to get around to RMAing it in the future.
My question is, is there any way to root .21 without unlocking the device?
Thanks.

Yes, there is!
1. Downgrade to .15 (There is a method by user wolf, youll find it...)
2. Root the TFP
3. Install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper und Backup your Root
4. Upgrade to .21 via OTA
5. Restore your Root via OTA Rootkeeper
//Use Method 2 to downgrade:

^ +1 verified yesterday with a new .15 out of the box, sparkyroot apk, ota update and voodoo ota rootkeeper. Works like a charm.
I think I'm gonna try this tonight.
Question for ya... what do I need in terms of drivers for windows? Do I need to pre-install any drivers so that windows can recognize the Prime, or do I just connect it via USB?

Just download ViperMOD. Theres a ReadMe and it includes all drivers you need.
I installed the Android SDK wich includes all drivers, but Im sure the driver included in ViperMOD will also work.
HI,
There is no way I can connect my TF201 to adb. I'm using virtualbox for win XP. Is it an issue?
Will the ViperMod work using a Mac or is it Windows specific?
On a side note - My bootloader is unlocked, would my root process be the same or change? Thanks in advance!

This maybe an issue. Be sure to forward the USB-Port the TFP is connected to to the Virtual Machine.

If your Bootloader is unlocked you can just flash a pre-rooted ROM. I dont know if the ViperMOD-Method also works.

HI, now I can connect but error in adb?
adb shell
error: protocol fault <status 73 68 65 6c?!>
I posted a question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697370
EDIT: Turns out the root was not the problem. It was the developer edition firmware. I flashed the new firmware from the OTA update separately and now I'm booting fine.
If you have this exact problem, unbrick instructions here:
Try using Phone Flash Tool from the Dell site, and this zip:
https://mega.co.nz/#!Vgw1CTYT!y1_tSTCMmzrhJSQy0lxwY59iyRhdJovC-IDMF25PB4k
It's the new boot firmware binaries packed in the developer edition firmware zip with the xml changed to point to the new files.
For the flashing process of this zip, start with the tablet completely off and disconnected, then in Phone Flash Tool, load the zip file, click "Start to flash" (the button near the bottom should be blue/clickable), then once it's counting attempts (attempt #0, attempt #1, etc.) then connect USB. It should proceed to flash.

ORIGINAL POST:I just received the Lollipop OTA, and I installed it. I did not remove my Superuser installation or my Busybox installation first. Now I am bootlooping.
So, take this as a warning, do not install the OTA if you have modified your system.
Now I am going to try to find a way to fix this...

Well, yeah anytime a update via OTA is available unroot and revert the device to stock, the update is designed to go over a stock tablet.

What is the process to unroot on our device?
Install es file explorer or root explorer.
Grant root access to the app.
in es you need to enable root explorer in the settings menu.
Go to
Code:
/system/bin
delete su (mine was not locate in here)
/system/xbin
delete su (mine was here)
/system/app/Superuser.apk delete this
SuperSu has a selection of uninstall options in the app's menus.

I've applied plenty of OTAs in the past to other devices on top of rooted systems, and never had a problem as bad as bootlooping.
(Not saying it's not my fault, as I knew there was a risk, I guess I was just running on a series of good luck, or maybe other companies write better OTA pre-checking features.)
good you mentioned this
supersu - complete unroot - update worked
i forgot to uninstall xposed - modifications where gone after reboot (batterie percentage etc. from gravitybox)
has anyone tried rooting after update? could the kitkat method work?

It's hard to say, as lollipop was just released, only you guys with lollipop can test and see.
Neither SDC nor myself have lollipop so we can't test.

On mine, I forgot to un-root with no issues, but it defaults to encrypting the tablet and now I can't re-root.
Hmm, I also had the developer firmware installed from their opensource site; maybe that's it? The only other thing would have been Busybox, I think...
EDIT: HEY IT WORKS! I just pulled the firmware binaries out of the update.zip, and flashed with xfstk-downloader, and now I'm on the Encrypting screen! Thanks!
old root method dont work :crying:

Will the same rooting procedure work fine after you have upgraded to Lollipop on the 7840? Wanted to try but not sure if everything will work. Also since i'm on a Mac the .bat file doesn't run out of the box...

@kage69 says no, only you guys with lollipop can confirm or deny if root works or not.
sent from my kingSing T1 via taptalk
the tool flashes temp cwm but the tab dont boot to recovery
stays in bootloader where you can choose boot normal, power down and recovery
choosing recovery boots to stock recovery
there were errors while flashing, ill post them tomorrow
reading a book in bed on my lollipopped tab now
hope we can root it again, need that for customizations and airaudio
see u tomorrow
So how were you able to flash after bootlooping the first time when you tried to update with root? I cannot get into the bootloader or anything :silly:
Does any one have the ota so I can patch the stock firmware to investigate rooting it?
might be stored in cache i think
cant get to that without root

Sorry I replied late but yes that's the button to root. I bricked my phone accidentally and stock rom for a6000 plus is not available anywhere so after waiting for many days I flashed miui ROM today
Is this method more safe than conventional rooting of device?

Can the root process be undone? Also has anyone got a way to backup the stock OS/ any link to the stock OS? Would be great to have.
thanks bro....it worked for me
Is there a way to replace the Kinguser app with SuperSU afterwards? I don't mind the app, but my asian language skills are rusty.

what i feel from my perspective is that some of the Su binary files are not getting removed even after full unroot.
Kinguser isnt able to perform proper unroot.
That is why the devices are getting bricked
so what is the wise suggestion to do ?
Try Kingsroot and brick the phone & install CM11 ?
or
Just get stacked with the current situation with no more updates in future?
or
Flash the complete rom which is og A6000 but not of A6000+
Please suggest.
So before I was pretty much forced to update to Lollipop 5.0.1 my root was working fine on KitKat.
My G3 took the OTA and now the root is gone. I tried a few exploits already and all failed. I want to re root my phone running on 5.0.1. I am assuming this is a bootloader issue? Has anyone been able to root again running on 5.0.1?
I have already updated LG drivers + Verizon drivers.
Using purpledrake exploit failed saying that:
Your phone is not running a compatible software version. No vulnerable mode detected, rebooting phone.
We tried to temproot you, and it didn't work. This phone isn't vulnerable, it would appear.
Tried using Unjustified Dev ( LG Root Script ) and it failed to find serial. I booted the phone into manual download but the installation stalled and never ran through.
Help?
