I try Supersu but its not working i'm on factory image 4.3 and cwm recovery
Question or statement?
question
here you go!
From what I've read, seems your can use CF root that worked with the S4 4.3 leak but it would seem at a high cost. Namely high CPU usage when rooted and possibility of losing root. I'm waiting for hopefully a better solution.

hi guys,
i just did a search in the development and original development threads for 'stock rooted 4.4' and came up with nothing.
Is there one created yet and also one that is cwm flashable?
thanks guys
There is already a working root for 4.4. I actually rooted my device immediately after I upgraded to kitkat yesterday. Though I lost the link here in xda, just search for it.
thanks mate.
the reason i was looking for a simple flashable stock rooted rom is i am very good with knowing about the bootloader or what exact 4.3 i used last time and i didnt know if it mattered.
there is an official stock rooted version on the nexus 7 2013 forum i noticed yesterday but i couldnt see one here.
also, i am running cwm recovery and i think the nexus root toolkit uses twrp doesnt it?
anyway, thanks for the help and hopefully a flashable soultion will be available soon.

If you already have CWM installed, then you can flash supersu. I don't know where it is in this forum, but just try searching.

Thanks but I already have supersu, I don't understand what that has to do with the rom im looking for apart from the root element that I already understand about.
I downloaded the flashable zip from here - roll back to 4.2.2 stock first using CWM and kept my data, about 90 minutes including wait time - running KitKat now, rooted (again) on KitKat 4.4 stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47522094#post47522094 - see my post for steps that I followed. Results vary & do so at your own risks.
I'm sure in a few more days - XDA developers will tweak & come up with optimized odexed stock rom with add-ons, but I'm half a step ahead for my own sneak preview - less than 1 hour into it, smooth & no FC or errors - figure I might as well do it over the weekend - the new baby Nexus 5 running stock 4.4 & rooted already, of course.

HI,
I have rooted my Nexus 7 (2012) using WugFresh's NRT 1.7.6 on stock kitkat 4.4 .
No issues at all...
Thanks to WugFresh for this wonderful root toolkit.

So I've gotten the official 4.3 att update via ota.. Just today..
After carefully reading and understanding some thing I went and rooted via this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5mCsDyW-TI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
^which works fine BTW.. SuperSU works approved by Root checker..
However I can't get safestrap to work on this device since the update where 4.2.2 worked
It state recovery installed but when I Boot to Recovery just brings me back to home screen.. Is there another method to have safe strap installed? Or is there another custom recovery I can install and make it work?

I didn't find any threads on recovery via 4.3 recovery found root but nothing else.. Would you mind shredding some light on the recovery.. In not a 100% percent noob so just a testify answer would help if possible

At this point, you don't have a working recovery and safe strap doesn't work. We don't have a flashable odin file for the new update yet I believe. If a Samsung experience at best buy does, I'd imagine you'd could go into into a best buy and see if they'd re flash it. I could wrong or there could be another way.

In the Safestrap thread that you got the safestrap recovery from tells everything about it. Here is a thread in Q & A as well...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428254
I'm hoping you at least read the entire safestrap thread before trying to install it?
Here is the information on 4.3 for AT&T...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498897
If it doesn't mention anything in there about recovery, then it doesn't (yet) exist. Just keep an eye on the thread. If a working recovery is created it will be posted there. There is no need to ask about it in that thread, it will happen when / if it happens and someone will post about it.
Hey guys, I've done a lot of searching in this forum and found a lot of conflicting answers, so decided to start a fresh thread. I've been on 4.2.2/MF3 for a while now running Safetrap. I'm looking to take the OTA from AT&T and upgrade to 4.3.
I havent seen any root methods for 4.3 yet, but the question is, can I upgrade to 4.3 and retain root if I am running the latest version of SuperSU Pro with survival mode enabled?
A custom recovery with the option for installing ROMs is not needed, especially since I havent been able to do that since I updated to MF3. All I need is to keep root under 4.3 and I'll be more than happy, thanks!

This is my exact question. I just need some concrete answer as to yes or no... but as you said way too many conflicting answers!
YES.
I used "Survival mode" and it worked for me.

Hi so there is a way to update stock to 4.3 and continue using safestrap to run 4.2.2 roms????I would doubt that with what Ive read so far.

I too can confirm this works using Survival Mode from SuperSU Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu.pro&hl=en).
Now, that being said, being a very big noob myself (switching over from heavily tweaked jailbroken iPhone 5), I did this, all was well, I thought I had some issues with some apps and thought 'hmm... maybe I'll just downgrade to MF3 and see if the problem is fixed'. Yeah, attempting to do that with Odin has left me soft-bricked, but for all intents and purposes (that I can tell) it's actually hard-bricked 'cause Kies did nothing, Odin does nothing, if I understand things correctly the only thing that could possibly help is if we had the MD5's available to us for MK2, which, my searching is coming up empty. So, point is according to what I can tell, if you go MK2, there is NO going back to 4.2.2, so use caution.
So just an important safety tip there (unless someone wants to correct my noobness).
Yes. I can confirm that enabling "survival mode" in SuperSU and updating will keep your root; i did this on my pphone coming from MF3.
However, with that being said, i quickly unrooted from there because i had issues with MMS/messaging and phone calls not being recieved, and i did not want to reset my phone. If you run into similar issues as i am not the only one reporting those issues you can so a reset on your data (your root will not be affected, you will be rooted after the reset) or an unroot will work.
happy updating

First with Safestrap you CAN flash Roms. It is just limited to about 10 or so Roms that will work as they need to be 4.2.2 based.
Now with that said for those that ONLY want root on MK2 then someone in the Verizon thread has a WORKING ROOT available for MK2 4.3 firmware here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 and it DOESN'T come with the maliscious code that Kango and VRoot does. This DOES NOT give you recovery but it does give root. So thank the OP in that thread for helping out the community. I did and I HOPE I will never need to use it!!!
Good luck and Happy Rooting...

I've followed the instructions on rooting my Nexus 4 along with all subsequent updates from nexus4root.com
However, that site has been inactive since 26Nov, 2013.
So I'm running a rooted stock 4.4 KRT16S and have got the 4.4.2 OTA update sitting on my phone waiting to get installed.
Please help me with advice on one of these two options:
1] A link to a file and instructions where I can update from 4.4 rooted to 4.4.2 rooted.
or
2] Will enabling OTA survival on my SuperSU v1.86 and then tapping on the OTA 4.4.2 on my device work?
Much thanks in advance
Cal.

Downloaded the factory image of 4.4.2 and flash. Since you are rooted do a nandroid backup, a Titanium Backup, and backup your sdcard because all of it will be wiped. This is if you are determined to have the stock 4.4.2 this is the only thing I can think of to get there.
You can also try a custom rom as well.

Thank you Berry.
Wouldn't that cause me to lose root?
Supersu paid version is the only one that has survival mode(or originally was) and that's not guaranteed.
Definitely won't survive a factory image flash.
I know it works OTA from 4.3 to 4.4 but haven't tried 4.4,1 to 4.4.2. Should work and if it doesn't it is easy enough to re root.
Any problems feel free to ask.

Yes, it would. Do this (only) if you are determined to run stock 4.4.2.

You'll lose it but then just flash back supersu zip file and you're back rocking a rooted nexus. And btw, you don't need to flash factory image for 4.4.2. Just go to general section and look for a thread name OTA Helpdesk (use search option mate ) and flash/sideload the OTA file in recovery (preferably stock recovery or you can use twrp but cwm is a no go for OTA). Then flash back supersu. This is the easiest way and you still keep all your apps/data intact.

My bad, though I learnt something new there
Another of your comments made me decide to take the alternative ROM plunge.
So (deep breath) I've just flashed Paranoid Android's most recent rom
Loving the multi tiles within quick settings feature.
For the first half hour I kept trying to figure out where PA's setting are. After quite a bit of searching online, I found out that since it's being newly developed on KitKat, there are no PA settings at this point. Hope I've got that right?
Much thanks
Cal.

I haven't done it myself on Nae since CF worked for me, but someone else on here said they fleshed the latest Philz then installed SuperSu right from Philz as its a built in option.
CF should work though. Maybe make sure you have the right version. I just used CF again a couple days ago on the NAE bootloader.
