Shouldn't be a problem. After OTA is applied flash custom recovery and install su again.
Hey guys,
I have now android 4.4 on my nexus 4 which is rooted.
Can't seem to update to 4.4.2 because of the root.
My question is:
Do I need every little update such as 4.4.2 to flash to stock and unroot?
or is there an eaesier more useful way to update my nice nexus?
thanks alot!

You can flash the factory images. Or a custom rom with has been updated to 4.4.2.
Answering your question. NO. You dont need every little update. Most people dont even notice it. Heck , I'm still using 4.3

Thanks for the response mate.
My question is if its even possible to maintain the root access through the update process.
I've heared once of OTA root keeper or something alike ...

thank you sir!
Also, we don't have custom recovery yet. The closet thing we get is Safestrap.
As per title, trying to find a way to update without flashing back to stock and losing all my stuff.
Thanks In advance

I guess you are rooted and you mean updating a stock rom? By OTA or flashing with Odin?
1. OTA: enable root survival in the superSU Pro app and you should keep root after the update.
2. Odin firmware flash: Flash the updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro, enable everroot and the other 2 options and you also should keep root.

I'm running rooted, stock. 4.4.2
As I understand it, .3 is the current version.
I'd like to update to .3 without losing all my guff.
Make sense?

Nope.
It's easy to root and flash back stock rom. Just follow the guide and use Android ONE Toolkit to root and flash recovery.
