Of course did OTA rootkeeper not preserve root.
This is the complete update and not OTA.
You should see this update as formatting your tablet and installing from scratch.
ViperMOD which is found in the Transformer Prime forums should be able to help you restore root.

kerner sources?????
HELL YEEEEESSSS
How Universal are these Kernels?
My concern, implementing these kernels without cross referencing the serials for applicability within a given SKU group could lead to future problems. I have two US tabs that behave differently after upgrading to ICS, I strongly suggest that device differences be addressed first before doing any dev work on these kernels.

Unlock unlock unlock. Anyone anywhere seen any unlocker for the TF101?
Didn't Asus promise that one "quickly" after the TF201 tool?
With TF201 having ICS, having ICS issues resolved, having ICS sources and bootloader unlocker released, and TF101 having ICS out, issue resolves, source out...
The only thing missing is the bootloader unlocker. Where is Asus on this one? I haven't heard anything in ages.

Typically, the ota updates mess up the permissions on the su binary, which breaks root. If you have cwm installed for the recovery, it might not flash, and even if it did, then it might fail because the updater-script expects and check that it's working on a stock system.

+1, now with this update, it ain't at all .... !i need to get rid of the ads tho
Look at the following description and choose the right one.
(1) Flash back to stock rom and stock recovery via easy unroot.
(2) Re-root via nachoroot
(3) Install OTA rootkeeper.
(4) Wait for ICS. Call in sick everyday if you have to. Keep mashing the check for update button.
That seems like a lot of pain when the devs are certain to adopt the ICS Asus rom as base to their custom roms.

Because if you rooted via nvflash then you won't be able to do an OTA update even if you have ota rootkeeper. Trust me, I've already tried it all.

Well sure. That might be. But that will take time.
Some people want the ICS update the very second it is out. Reverting to stock allows them to get it the second it is out without waiting for ROM developers to update and retweak their ROMs for a new major Android-version, a process which most likely will take some time.
Besides. I like to know how the stock experience is before going for something different. If stock is good enough, I see no reason to rely on custom ROMs.

The OTA update will not automatically install if CWM is installed like it is the case on a completely stock TF.
Therefore some people adjust the OTA update (remove recovery and add root) and publish this so you can install this with CWM. See developer forum.
The original OTA update also include recovery update (where CWM is installed) and remove root. You can use OTA rootkeeper to avoid loosing root.
Summary:
- root with stock rom and stock recovery will allow OTA update from Asus but you loose root; use OTA rootkeeper to avoid loosing root
- root with stock rom and CWM recovery will not allow OTA update from Asus; use adjusted OTA update and install with CWM (keeps root and CWM)
- custom rom, then no OTA update possible; just wait for update of developer custom rom

Well, stock has gone a long way from back in May. Back then, I went with custom roms because they were more stable and smoother to work with. Recently, I flashed back to stock and have been using it daily. Could not tell the difference between stock and custom rom anymore. Asus, or google, has done a good job at stabilizing and improving the original stock rom.
When ICS comes out, I will at first use stock. Then I will try out custom ICS roms. I'll evaluate them on a regular day to day usage. I don't care much for all the tests that people do. I'm a realistic guy. I believe in reality.

Sorry that just made me laugh. A stock rom being good enough would mean no need for custom roms and so far, not one single device has had one. Not even vanilla rom's from Google themselves.

It must be possible somehow since the Asus Service Centre of my country (Hungary) offered me to put back the ICS ROM when I complained about the bugs of the JB upgrade. They wrote me they would do it free of charge, covering by the warranty, because my ROM it's pure stock, without unlocking.

There is no way. I tried all methods. You cant get the old Bootloader to flash, because of the signature missmatch
BTW
You can flash any ICS Rom over JB. It just want boot. So its not in any use to do so.
Just never do the bootloader wipe and you will be fine with fastboot.

Anyone have any of the threads where someone bricked going from JB to ICS? I have searched and searched with no examples!
I actually tried flashing ICS over JB as an attempt to downgrade. This was my process.
I tried flashing a custom ICS rom, and nothing happened, practically. Of course, I wiped the Rom, so when I tried to reboot, I was warned that no Rom existed. I tried flashing the stock rom from Asus, and that did not work either. So I use fastboot to push the ICS recovery to the tablet. When I attempted to reboot, it failed. When I tried to get back into recovery, I received a message under the message "This device is unlocked" in red letters saying, "Signature mismatch." At this point, my stomach was in my throat. I rebooted into flashboot, and sent the jb recovery image back to my tab. This was when I reflashed a custom JB Rom, and gave up. I know that I could've tried using fastboot to push both the bootloader from Asus and an ICS recovery image, but seeing those red letters was enough warning for me.
So I'm now JB for life, and I'm fine with that!
Who need ICS back? I think that Jelly Bean is just great on this tablet (at least with a custom rom). I upgrated and I never looked back lol
NVFlash!
I should have said this is in reply to geldebanho
Sorry for the confusion..

To be honest, I did not necessarily want to go back to ICS, but I didn't like the thought that I couldn't. Rebellious human nature... . I flash between GB and ICS on my phone on a daily basis.

Just so everyone is aware, i know this may be a pointless thread but i just want people to know that Asus released a new version of their unlocking apk tool on their website. This version is for 4.2 only.
They also released the official .blob files for Android 4.2
Do we need to unlock the bootloader again (?)
I think I'm going to try this, but I'm still afraid it will break my tablet...
I just hope we have a updated recovery soon

No
I will try to update and see what happens. I hope everything turns out well. I can live some days without root (I hope lol). I also highly doubt that a recovery for this bootloader won't be made, soo... Here I go!
This is my first time trying to unlock and root my tablet. I just got the 4.2 OTA (never been rooted or unlocked before). What do I need beside this new unlock tool? TIA.

No just posted for people like Samsung.Galaxy.S3 who need to unlock their bootloader. Also posted because I feel like partition mapping has changed resulting in the failure on recovery. Also, TWRP believes the kernel just needs to be upgraded. One Asus releases 4.2 kernel source then I'm going to update and test TWRP builds.

It should. You're just not going to be able to root until the newer recovery is released. And I cannot live without root lol.

Nothing. Don't do anything yet. We need a newer recovery to support the 4.2 update. Until then, nobody can root. So just hold tight ^-^

do you have custom recovery?
I can wait for 4.2. Don't want to get stuck on stock and not be able to use Google Play movies. Stupid unlocked bootloader broke that

There is no working custom recovery for 4.2 yet. Its being worked on and we need Asus to release the 4.2 kernel source code to get it.

Edit: never mind, I found them. thanks

Thanks for your information

Yes, we will have to wait until some new updated recoveries show up.

Too bad that the TF300TG doesn't have the 4.2 listed there.

Red triangle
Hi, I downloaded the Firmware from the asus website for my tf300t (ww version). I need to manually update it to 4.2 because my bootloader is unlocked. I'm with a stock rom and recovery.
I extracted it to the root of my internal memory and tried to update it (I turned off the device, pressed power+volume down and selected the first option).
It starts to update but after about 1 second the android with red triangle appears.
I'm doing it right or not? I'm sure that the firmware that I downloaded is the right one.
Thanks

U sure its updating or just entering rck recovery. After putting the zip on root of sd or internal sd just reboot and after start up a triangle should apper in the notification bar then select the drop down menu and select it. In some cases people have had to rename the extracted update file. If us the name it to US_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip if ww the capital WW where the US is. Not sure if everyone had to but if doesn't see it one way then try renaming it.

Ahh ok I were wrong! I unzipped the file and entered in the rck recovery! Tonight I'll try as you said.
Double check: I'll not loose all my data right? It will be a normal update like if my bootloader was locked?
