So I wanted to try the pingit mobile transfer app. But it says device rooted...
So I unrooted. But still says the same... Any one know what the app is looking at

You can download Root Checker from Play Store just to make sure you are indeed unrooted. Also, you may have to check if you bootloader is unlocked.
Run Supersu instead of Superuser and you can temp disable root.

So I rooted my n7 and when I tried to use the wallet app it says its not compatible with my device because its rooted ?! Is their a fix

It is just a warning... doesn't stop you from using it.
you can always down "OTA root Keeper" , give it root permission, click protect root and then when using wallet or google movie click temporary unroot until you're done using them, after that click restore root.
Hey everyone
just updated ota to 4.2.2 and lost root. Superuser is not working. Any help?

Just flash recovery and then download the supersu zip. Flash the supersu and you are rooted

I used CWM to install the original zip. It prompted me before rebooting if I want to keep root/recovery and to fix it.
I used this thread to reroot using adb...

I used the Nexus 4 1.3 toolkit with updated files
As a precaution I backed up my folders and make a Titanium backup. Technically re-rooting will not WIPE phone like it did first time I purchased it.
I could have installed CWM but prefer to keep this phone stock, considering its as pure as it will ever be and want the OTA updates.
But there are so many options to get ROOT lots of options. Love it so far.
You can use cwm for flashing the ota to avoid the hassle of using adb sideload. You can choose stock recovery after flashing the su zip. Just use the cwm to flash ota and su. Just my 2 cents

I just paid the £1.95 for Su Pro, which keeps root over OTA updates. Worth the money IMHO, I have wasted more time that that in faffing around each time.
Just rooting it like you did first time will work.

Just root again, OTA will make your phone rooted again!!!
Wow. Thanks everyone. I am gonna try a few these. I had no idea su pro kept root. Only had i known
I learn.
After you reroot, get OTA Root Keeper from the Play Store so you can restore root in the future after an OTA
ok... so i figured out an easy way... i used nexus toolkit to root in the first place and then saw this on wug's website... followed the direction and got root back... Thanks everyone for your help
also, its not clear below, but these files are replaced on your computer under C:\Program Files\WugFresh Development\data
"Yes, I am aware that this isn’t working on 4.2.2 right now. This will be fixed in v1.6.3 which will be released ASAP (within a few days or sooner if possible). As a temporary fix you can replace the old adb/fastboot/dll files in the toolkits /data directory with the new ones: new_adb_and_fastboot.zip just download that zip and extract/unzip its contents into the toolkits /data directory and agree to overwrite those files, then proceed to use “Any Build” mode to perform subsequent operations like rooting. Again, this is just a temporary fix for those who are impatient."
So I was running paranoid android (latest version) and I decided to try out an experimental version of kitkat. I flashed it without problems. Then I decided to try out a new ROM, so I flashed psx (latest version). I used rom manager to download and flash it. I installed an app that required root, but it said that I had no root access, even though I had root before. Did I lose my root when I flashed? How can I get it back? Thanks.

Root is in /system. If you flashed a new ROM, and they did not include the su binaries then you don't have root.
Root is not magical. Its pretty basic stuff here. You should learn what root is before going any further.

Yes, I know what root is. ( sorry if I worded it wrong) I should have said I lost root access. Can I install supersu to get that access back? Thanks

That's all that is required to root any non rooted ROM on a nexus
Sent from my Nexus 5
I rooted my phone or at least I thought I did, but when I try to use flashing it says I don't have superuser access. I have successfully rooted a galaxy we and a HTC one xl, so I don't consider myself a noob. I guess I am to this device though. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
