Looks like the TF201 is getting JB in the next 72 hours: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906599
I'm rooted, should I unroot before this lands? If I should, how do I unroot 9.4.2.28?
Thanks!
If you have a modded build prop I would restore the original one. Also unfreeze any frozen apps. No need to unroot though

and if you have browser2ram or other tweaks, uninstall/revert to stock before updating.
if you do want to unroot (and I agree with above post it may not be necessary) then install voodoo rootkeeper from play store. it will allow you to temporarily be unrooted at the push of a button, very good app.
I have to many tweaks to remember. I am always failed on OTA update. Better way for manual update.

I've read many posts of people's experience, and I am in same situation as you-
I suggest you do unroot before downloading and installing the update. Achieved by finding Voodoo root keeper from Play store. It's a straight forward app, lets you temporarily 'unroot' at the push of a button.
Hope that helps.
It worked! Thanks all!

Hi, I just deleted the stock Netflix app and apparently modifying system apps could cause OTA updates to fail. So I am requesting someone to send me the stock Netflix app. If you installed some updates to Netflix, please uninstall them and just upload the stock app. I don't wanna push the Netflix app from market as the app in the device may be an Asus customized version. I know this is a PITA but I'd really appreciate it if you do this for me.
If installing the app needs.some special instructions then kindly give them.
Thanks!!

Gracias amigo! That was exactly what I wanted. And to add to it, the app behaves just like my stock Netflix app. Upon clicking it, I go to Google Play where I get the opportunity to download an update to the app!
So, now that I restored the App and pushed it back to the system, I am good, right? I should now be able to successfully update and install future OTAs?
I am searching now, but is there a way to show non root status to an app that checks root status, or does one have to go in and modify the app to tell it not to check.

By the way, I did try the ota root keeper app and it seems to work right. My problem more specifically is I want the twc TV app to work but it says it will not work with a rooted device. It gives me the same message even when I supposedly unroot with the app. I can't use the HBO go or max go because of 4.0 ics. Kind of bummed at the moment. They figures out a way to install the checks, now to change that so I can use them again.

edit: Just found the app with the modified buildprop! Works great and now I can watch streaming tv on my phone again(with ICS root). Now I just need to find the hbo go and max go with the modified parts to them.
Supercurio's root keeper app should allow this, at least that is what other users have stated in market comments.

The app does do just that buy somehow the twc TV all still sees root access. It wasn't until I tried the version with the modified build.prop that it stopped checking for root access and allowed mr to watch TV.

I have an app that refuses to operate fully, because it says that streaming is not allowed on rooted devices.
Is there a way that I can hide rooted status from this app, or make it unrooted as far as the app is concerned? I have not given it root permissions; it just seems to know that the app is rooted.
Thanks!
I've had good luck with OTA rootkeeper, I've been able to watch movies on Google play, that sort of thing.

You can to set your root management program to automatically deny root on request.

Cant you unroot it?
Tried OTARootkeepet and app still complained. Even functionally unrooted it seemed to know.

What is the app?
I am Jack's smirking revenge.
Is there any way to unroot easily? Just in case my phone breaks down I still want access to the warranty.
Oh and will Google Play Movies still work after rooting?
should be able to unroot through the super user app or just flash back to stock via odin.
You might try Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, which has an option to temporarily unroot your phone. That should be adequate for service .

Has anyone tried this(SuperSU way) on note2 specifically?
I reset back to stock by flashing with Odin...not a hard process IMO.

Voodoo OTA rootkeeper i think would best answer your ?
I use Voodoo, and it works like a charm
The Google play movies will not work on the market it but I believe there is a hacked version that has the root check disabled. It should be on the forums or a simple Google search for "root Google play movies". (Sorry I'm at work and can't search the forums as well)

I recently rooted my kindle hdx 8.9 with .94 toolkit. Every thing works fine. I disabled the OTA update with tookkit .94. I did not manually install the current update with the other program, due to some reporting bricking if not done correctly.
I used tookkit .94 to un-install (re-enable) OTA updates, however when I got to take an update in the menu, it reports update failed..
So, how to I re-enable auto updates? I want to take the current update, so I can remove ads from Amazon, cause I paid them 15 bux. Then I want to re-root and re-enable OTA blocker.
Any help would be appreciated.
You do know that you can easily remove the ads yourself, right?
Remove adds

very dangerous that is for the HD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2790659
, You only need to do the SQ edit and you are done. I had the exact same issue after I paid for the removal I would get black screen lock screen. Trust me do the SQ lite Edit only .reboot
Thanks for the information on sqlite. It worked great. However, that's been months ago.
I would like to be able to take a more recent update, as I'm still on 14.3.1.0
And still be able to re-root. Like I stated in my original post. I'm not sure of the process needed to 're-enable' OTA updates. Or if there is a way to manually install a more current update.
Thanks. Merry Christmas
