Oke, i had to install it manualy after flashing the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255190. CF-Auto-Root only works for the MDM rom, all ME ones and newer need the file in the link. You are probably not rooted.

What do you mean? can you open a app that requires root, open it and then does the superuser window pop up to ask for permissions?

It want workshop. I get a message after a while but nothing happens.

Are you rooted? The update should be in your /cache folder, you can move it to the sd storage and flash from recovery. You'll probably also need superuser 1.51 zip to flash after flashing the update as you will lose root.

There's a few threads about as people have been receiving/flashing it. It seems to be a security update, the update is under 2mb.

Yes updated last night, seen a few people having issues so was holding off, but it was pretty straight forward. I ended up downloading the grouper.zip (ota) update from the thread above and the superuser 1.5.1 zip. Fully unroofed from the superuser app then flashed the grouper.zip and superuser zip in recovery.

ROOTED on STOCK 4.3 but with modification : advanced power menu, awesome beats Noozxoide
also there is no file in /cache folder
found this
Already updated to 4.3 and have an OTA notificaion? (JWR66Y from JWR66V)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390286
will it work for me cause i dont wanna lose all data ( only 4gigs free
thank u all for helping

I also had to use the Grouper.zip to take the update. That zip comments out a line in the install script that performed a verification check that many people had fail. The released ota update continually failed for me. I never unrooted first, just flashed grouper.zip in TWRP recovery. After booting back up, I went back into TWRP and flashed the Supersu1.51 zip and got root back. No data loss. This is on a wifi, stock rom & kernel, rooted and TWRP recovery. Now on JWR66Y and happy.

I believe this update was to address the bitcoin exploit found in Android and that was promised to be addressed soon.

Thats exactly what I used, although I didn't have any modifications, so unfortunately I am unable to say whether there would be any problems or not.

SU binary is gone after updating to 4.3, is root lost?

So apparently I lost the su binary, titanium backup said I had no root and running super user says I don't have the binary installed. So do I have to re root then?

flash the latest supersu. if your recovery is gone, flash a custom recovery first, then the latest supersu. if you updated the official 4.3, you do this after every official update, always have too, nothing new here.

[Q] Safestrap compatible roms with NC4?

Is anyone aware of safestrap roms that work with NC4? I'm having trouble finding a list or anything...

It seems like BajaROM doesn't work (failed for me and apparently others). Was planning on trying JasmineROM next.

None of the current roms worked for me. (Stock TW KK 4.4.2 NC4 OTA) Rooted /w busybox, safestrap, and super su binary installed.

Jasmine rom works great. No problems here.

Hope it helps
No I was on NC 2. Downloaded and flashed jasmin rom and rebooted into Odin (download mode) and loaded nc4 firmware thru Odin 3.09

I was on NC4, no luck finding anything that is working (including Jasmine). Install seems to go OK, but when I reboot the screen stays off.

How did you install super su?
I'm sure the answer will embarrass the **** out of me
Never mind after the 9th attempt it finally stuck

You can download & install SuperSU from playstore...
Open SuperSU it will prompt you that the binary needs to be installed, click ok! It will then say failed and give the option to install it via cmw or twrp click ok! The system will now reboot to the stock recovery, exit out and reboot to safestrap. Once in safestrap choose install and go to "/cache/recovery" and select "update.zip" swipe to flash then reboot to system. Open SuperSU and now it should be working.
Lmk if this works for you...

ALL, Please DON NOT try and flash any ROM if you are coming from the Verizon OTA NC4 4.4.2 build (rooted via Towelroot)...until the ROM Developer states in the OP that it is okay to do so.
EDIT: Please refer to this thread if you are on the VZW OTA 4.4.2 or NC4 kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627

@JBHawaii will that method work for stock build NC4? Currently SafeStrap isn't letting NC4 flash ROM at the moment.

Yes, it will work for stock NC4. However, chainfire just released an update for Super SU via the playstore... try that first! If the binary still fails to install then try my method.

Has any one ran safestrap and check the size of the rom slot? When I do it says 0 mb available. If I am not wrong which I could be that means there is zero space to flash the rom to.

Right now SafeStrap won't let us use slot for ROM, so we can't flash anything to it
