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.

Already updated to 4.3 and have an OTA notificaion? (JWR66Y from JWR66V)

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.

Post-root system update

I have getting a notification to update my phone but since I rooted it seems to jump into recovery and constantly give me a fail installation error. How can I install the update, do I need to download and install the latest ROM from samsung manually?
Will I need to backup everything up and restore it or can I just install everything as is while keeping my settings?
Which carrier?

It will only install on stock recovery. You have to either flash the stock recovery or install it manually and reroot (I think)

This will work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743923, just download what you want.
Also make sure you have the latest CWM before flashing.

Just flash recovery and then download the supersu zip. Flash the supersu and you are rooted

I used CWM to install the original zip. It prompted me before rebooting if I want to keep root/recovery and to fix it.
I used this thread to reroot using adb...

I used the Nexus 4 1.3 toolkit with updated files
As a precaution I backed up my folders and make a Titanium backup. Technically re-rooting will not WIPE phone like it did first time I purchased it.
I could have installed CWM but prefer to keep this phone stock, considering its as pure as it will ever be and want the OTA updates.
But there are so many options to get ROOT lots of options. Love it so far.
You can use cwm for flashing the ota to avoid the hassle of using adb sideload. You can choose stock recovery after flashing the su zip. Just use the cwm to flash ota and su. Just my 2 cents
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I just paid the £1.95 for Su Pro, which keeps root over OTA updates. Worth the money IMHO, I have wasted more time that that in faffing around each time.
Just rooting it like you did first time will work.

Just root again, OTA will make your phone rooted again!!!
Wow. Thanks everyone. I am gonna try a few these. I had no idea su pro kept root. Only had i known
I learn.
After you reroot, get OTA Root Keeper from the Play Store so you can restore root in the future after an OTA
ok... so i figured out an easy way... i used nexus toolkit to root in the first place and then saw this on wug's website... followed the direction and got root back... Thanks everyone for your help
also, its not clear below, but these files are replaced on your computer under C:\Program Files\WugFresh Development\data
"Yes, I am aware that this isn’t working on 4.2.2 right now. This will be fixed in v1.6.3 which will be released ASAP (within a few days or sooner if possible). As a temporary fix you can replace the old adb/fastboot/dll files in the toolkits /data directory with the new ones: new_adb_and_fastboot.zip just download that zip and extract/unzip its contents into the toolkits /data directory and agree to overwrite those files, then proceed to use “Any Build” mode to perform subsequent operations like rooting. Again, this is just a temporary fix for those who are impatient."

OTA

Ok guys quick one for you I tried to use voodoo I did the ota but now voodoo won't reroot the device not sure what to do here, sorry if there is a post about this but a little hard to search right now.

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.

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!
