Yep. That's the best way. Install (or just boot) a custom recovery and then flash SuperSU.zip

I need to flash the stock image as I can't update to newest build after deleting some Google apps. Anyone know the procedure if I wanna flash it through fast boot?

You can try searching for it yourself... There is the nexus 4 toolkit which is pretty easy

Please don't use the toolkit.

If you ask about app that can flash a recovery, goo.im can do that.

Flash twrp, then find a zip file with the recovery you want and flash that? Or buy flash image GUI from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui sounds like that does what you're looking for

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?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
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?
Hi,
For rooting, unlocking, flashing and whatnot with the Nexus 7, which toolkit do you think is the best?
1)Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit
or
2)Google Nexus 7 Toolkit by mskip?
Which has more features, or support?
Wug's

None!
It's almost more easy to do it manually.

I actually wouldn't mind doing it manually. Could you link me to any guides on that?
Look up? There are these things called stickies.

Learn how to work with adb and fastboot, so you can unlock and root your nexus manually. This way is so much easier then you might think.
Only use wug's toolkit if you have trouble installing your drivers.

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.
