The latest SuperSU that you flash in recovery is the only thing that works on AOSP/AOSP based roms (Anything that isn't Cyanogenmod, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, PAC, etc)
You have to flash this unless you want broken sensors: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147194
Select the first zip and flash it before that rom of your choice or you will have problems.

Tnx but didnt find answer there sir, i mean if there is a new upate like 4.3 or 5.0 is it possible to update it officially or not? I am rooted and unlock bootloader w/o CWM
If i were to flash it,is it ok to flash it directly after flashing a custom recovery?
Sorry for many question. Im a sony Ericsson user before thats why im confused with a different method.

Best way is to flash the full new rom (4.3 probably) in fastboot, reroot, restore apps with Titanium Backup and you`re done. Flashing a full rom is better than updating an excisting one imo. Link for how to flash stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312.

Yes, it is not hard. Just follow instructions and you should be good
Fastboot:
- Power down the phone, then
- Press Volume down + Power button
That`s it

You can be on stock with no mods unlocked rooted with a custom recovery and you will get the ota update and it will install fine.
The ota update link will be posted here before you get on your device so it's good to have a custom recovery so you can just flash it and it will also protect you from losing root or custom recovery

im only rooted and my bootloader is unlock then everything is stock. the nxt thing that i must do is to install a custom recovery and flash the nxt update?that should be in .zip?tnx!
just learn alot of new things today by reading alot of thread even read ur post on some thread.
anyways,tnx for the help ^_^
need to learn more ^_^
I had cm 10.1.2 earlier.
I installed the stock 4.3 via flash-all.bat. installed TWRP 2.6.0 again and rooted (supersu 1.43).
if I want to go back to some custom 4.2.2 rom, do I need to flash stock 4.2.2 again (to get the old radio) and then only flash custom rom?
will it work if i simply flash a 4.2.2. custom rom via TWRP?
thanks.

all you have to do is flash a custom rom in recovery... all you had to do to update was flash a stock rooted 4.3 as well. Just as an fyi for future reference
everything is flashable radios bootloader roms.... Just read up before doing anything all your questions and answers can generally be found in the stickies
Thanks for fast reply.
I guess I wanted to know whether a ROM and radio go together. Since I already have new radio from 4.3, will it work if I simply flash a 4.2.2 ROM.
I guess I should have read more here. Thanks.

Just flash. All custom ROMs have root.
Btw, you need a custom recovery to flash a ROM (like TWRP, CWM)

Not necessarily. You can flash a custom recovery through Odin and not root it at all and then just install a already rooted ROM.

CWM is always reliable. Some prefer TWRP. I'm using Philz Touch. It depends on your preferences. CWM is the most stable.
So I finally found some time for my unlocked and rooted nexus 4. Right now it is on 4.3 stock and I want to update to 4.4.2. Now the question which I couldn't find an answer on Google: Do I loose root after manual update? I've seen some videos on that, but some say that you need stock recovery (I have TWRP), but nothing about root.
Also, I'd install Franco kernel after that.
Help and possible tutorial would be appreciated, I'm still kinda new to android.
You can have a stock experience by installing the Experience ROM in the development thread.
Make sure you are running the latest TWRP before trying to flash a 4.4 ROM.

Yes, always when you flash another stock Rom, you will lose root.
But it's a matter of seconds to reroot after flashing latest supersu.zip through TWRP.

Alright, thanks. I guess I'll do thst.
Hi. I'm not sure how to even ask this question. I've heard that the OTA 4.3 version of Android does something to the bootloader and disables loki patches or something like that. My question is... If I'm on MDL 4.2.2 now with Loki patch and TWRP recovery... if I use the CM11 web installer from CM and upgrade my custom rom to CM11 4.4.2... will CM11 mess with my bootloader to where I have to revert to SafeStrapper? or does CM11 not mess with the bootloader to which I can continue to install any rom I want? thanks

No, it won't mess with your bootloader. If you update your firmware then your on trouble. But you're just flashing a custom rom so you're ok.

Flashing ROMs is fine, but just so you know the CM Installer does not work on our device. You have to flash it in recovery.
