Check the market for OTA root keeper, use that and let the update install.

It never used to work without stock recovery but I think CWM will allow you to install the OTA now.

Does 4.2.2 ota break root?

Said something about unsigned or unverified from cwm recovery. Aborted now I'm curious what to do next.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes it does, I'm currently having this problem... Rooted, updated ota and now root is gone and not sure what to do

Guess I'll wait till I get home so I can root again. Thanks

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?

Question about OTA

Since I'm rooted with custom rom/kernel, my guess is that I won't get ota. But I can flash the image in bootloader.
Since my favorite roms are 4.2, and it looks like my favorite kernels are in the same boat I feel like I should wait.
If I wanna keep them I should wait? Right

If u want to use 4.2 ROMs, it seems obviously you should wait updating yeah.
And no u wont get OTA when on custom recovery, neither on custom rom/kernel.

You can get ota if you have a custom recovery.

You can install the OTA manually but you wont be able to install the OTA from the system updates setting.

Nexus 4 Root?

Hi, I have a nexus 4 which has CWM installed however it doesn't seem to be rooted? I can boot into recovery and backup etc but how can I gain root access? I don't want to factory reset the phone. Is this possible?
Cheers!

Flash this in recovery. SuperSU
p/s: cwm always have issues with supersu. So, use latest cwm 6.0.4.5. It's better if you use latest twrp though.
Thanks mate worked fine!

Don't download!!! Its too buggy at the moment ,,Plus you will lose root ! Wait until they find an Exploit for root with KitKat.
I have Note 3 and Note 10,1 2014 tab, both are rooted and on Jb ..I love it!

Maybe I miss something importend in this discussion but I have KK since some weeks and its stable without any bugs and from the beginning it is rooted.
So, why wait?
Is it the official Kk firmware or are Kk ROM?

First I flash the official culumbian version then a custom ROM and then again the official South version and with all 3 I never have any new "bugs"(*) or rooting issues (like many others here).
*) beside the two issues in the columbian version that the home key didn't work in the stock launcher and it use the old taskbar.
I thought kk couldn't be rooted, this is the Ota update and it is still sitting here waiting to be installed. What should I do?

On the Note 2014, Odin flash a custom recovery and flash a SuperSU zip. Your device is then rooted. It does not get much easier.

can i flash those 4.4.3 costom rom on top of what i have ? or we have to wait for stock 4.43?
Did you back up your stock rom. I think it will do because it will erase everything event your internal file. After that you can root and install twrp.

Yes have my backup stock.

In that case copy all your backup to computer and run nexus root toolkit, just follow the instruction and you good to go.

So I have to go back to stock rom before I can flash 4.4.3 custom rom? What about do I need to update the bootloader?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Restore to stock, plug your n7 to computer and make sure you have unlock boot loader, install n7 driver with adb , turn on USB debuting, and open the latest wugfresh root tool kit. Choose your firmware which is ktu84l n7 wifi. Find flash stock and unroot button. It will request you to download factory img. If you already download then proceed to flash. it will take a while just be patient. If done you can rooted back, just choose root with custom recovery.
Guys correct me if I am wrong, this is my personal experience.

That IMG that you flash is 4.4.3 so after flashed you already in 4.4.3.
