Root access with PA 4.3 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does it work for anyone? Upon first boot it works like normal but after I reboot it thinks I don't have root anymore.

Try rebooting again, some got this issue.

I Rooted 4.3, have no problems with root after rebooting.
Are you sure you have the latest SU (v1.51) flashed?

Did you reflash su after flashing the rom?
I put it in my flash Q with the rom and gapps.

The newest PA apparently you don't need to flash another zip so I deleted it after it worked on first boot.

Question about flashing roms

K so I flashed to 4.2 and lost my root but still unlocked and have a custom recovery installed and I don't have a laptop or computer so I can't root my tablet unless I use a friend's but I'm wondering if I can flash a rom without root and if I could would it give me root access?

yes.
in fact, that's how you root a seven without a toolkit. fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flash a custom recovery, flash the su binaries OR a custom ROM(with root), reboot. the right way in a nutshell.
So say I flashed paranoid android when 3.0 comes out I would get root? And everything would be all good?

Will 4.3 remove the LTE featured I flashed on 4.2.2

Thanks in advance guys!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
It will. 4.3 isn't fully compatible with the LTE enabled, older radio. People are messing with hybrid radios to fix the incompatibility issues, but that's still a work in process i.e. bugs.

My OTA update said 4.3 was ready to install, but when I clicked install nothing seemed to happen. I am rooted and have TWRP installed as my recovery. Any suggestions?
And now when I check for an update, my phone says I'm up to date but I'm still on 4.2.2.

You have to do it manually by use fastboot method. OTA is not gonna work when you flash the TWRP as your Recovery.
2 method: 1. fastboot flash your recovery back to stock one OTA will work. 2. Flash your N4 with fastboot to get 4.3 ROM.
I went back to the stock 4.2.2 rom and I'm not rooted anymore, but now the stock recovery doesn't work. So how can I update to 4.3?

If you read the app info on play store it says it won't work on 4.3 but they are trying to find a fix.

Ok so we just have to sit tight correct?

I would sit tight and let the app developers try and straighten things out. I updated my nexus4 to 4.3 but will wait awhile before doing my n7. I'm sure it won't be long!

Ok need a little help trying the root kit but for some reason I keep getting adb can't connect
Sent From My Rooted G3
Only thing I can suggest is make sure you have USB debugging enabled and make sure you have the correct drivers installed. It's probably best to ask in the thread of the toolkit you're using, I haven't tried many toolkits but wugs has a pretty good walk thru for driver installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

I followed the instructions in the thread below for 'Already updated to 4.3 and have an OTA notificaion? (JWR66Y from JWR66V)'.
I unrooted, flashed the update zip in recovery and immediately after flashed the superuser zip and all was fine.

Boot into recovery and flash Chainfire's SuperSU package. After that you are rooted.

Root issues on android 4.3

So I updated my nexus 4 using a clean factory image and applied the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip root and everything worked fine AFAIK but after updating to the latest SU and SuperSU app I can't restore my apps from TWRP backup using titanium. It just didn't decompress the .Img data file, showing a blank list as soon as I selected the backup. Checked back reinstalling the zip file and worked back again. It's a bit weird as you don't need root to decompress an .img file.
What other root issues have you encountered on 4.3? What could have caused my problem?
U have to flash the latest supersu zip in recovery.
Hit thanks if I helped.

I selected the CWM/TWRP method to update SU. I imagine it's the same.

If that method doesn't work then you have to do it manually by flashing SuperSU 1.51 which fixes the restore issue on TB.

Alright, you've got root and clockwork. That's a start. Basically, if the ota won't load, you're gonna have to use clockwork to flash it your self. Flashing a ROM is when you delete the /system partition (it contains your systemui, jelly bean itself, etc.). Basically find a ROM, factory reset, flash it. You might not have to factory reset but as always...
Take a backup!
