Don't use a toolkit, they teach you nothing and the chances are you'll have some sort of issue in the future and because you used a toolkit you won't have any clue how to sort it out. Use the guide in my sig instead, it's far more useful.
Also, please search before posting in the future.
what ^ said. Don't use toolkits, you never know what they put in. Just know what you're doing, follow his sig link.

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,
I want to unlock, root and install recovery on my 4.3 JWR66V nexus 4.
Which toolkit shall I use?
N-Cry or WugFresh?
Some guys have problems with WugFresh but it looks easier than N-Cry...
Thank's!

Neither. Do it manually and learn what you're doing so if you have any issues in the future you'll know exactly how to sort it out. Being a nexus device, doing things manually is a piece of cake. Consult the guide in my sig and you should be fine.
Hi,
I just baught myself a Google Nexus 7 and coming from Apple's locked iOS from an iPad Mini I want to know a few things..
1. What are the latest Android version for stock Nexus 7? 4.22 or 4.3?
2. I want to root my Nexus 7, are there any beginner guides on how to do it or is there any complete packages available for download?
3. I'm on a Mac can I as easily root my Nexus 7 as if I were on a Windows machine?
4. I want the latest, speediest and most stable ROM where all stuff works. Can you point me in a direction of which to choose from?
Well I guess that's it for now.
Thanks again.
Rasmus, Denmark
The latest version is 4.3
To root check the stickies here, there are some guides. They should work for Mac too, because you just use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery and then you root via flashing a zip in recovery
There's no best rom. Just check some roms in the Dev section and check the bugs. If there are (nearly) no bugs and you like the interface/additional features flash it. Otherwise use the stock rom, it's great too :good:
The obvious question is, why do you want to root? Do you need it? Because if you are just a beginner, you should better read much and then (if you still need root) root it

Thanks for your help and answers. I have owned a couple of android devices in the past, but that was a couple of years ago and then I used fastboot
Thanks again.

Just one question more. If I choose to flash and root a stock image (4.3). Will I be able to receive OTA updates from Google in the future or do I have to root the device again upon an update?
Thanks.

I guess it's better to be on stock rom without any modifications to prevent issues with the updates
And as far as I know it's impossible to update on an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, but I'm not sure

I have been able to take an OTA while rooted and running a custom recovery. It should be no problem.

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.

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 ...
