Actually, if your device is rooted but still running stock, you can still receive OTA updates.

Yes, you'll need to re-root your device.

Hi,
My Nexus 4 is rooted running stock, but with the faux kernel. Will I still get 4.3 pushed to my phone?
Either way once I install 4.3, will I have to unlock the bootloader again in order to root the phone?
Thanks, I'm new to all this business

I received update notification, my Nexus 4 is rooted and running stock. So if I update would I lose root? and when I root again would I lose my data unless I backup and restore it later?
Thank you.

You will lose root. once you re-root it you will not lose any data. just to be safe create a backup before upgrading to 4.3
I received my Nexus 4 on March 2 2013.
It was running Jelly Bean 4.2 out of the box but, soon after I connected to my wifi, the phone automatically downloaded 4.2.2 and was ready to install. I upgraded to 4.2.2 without making any modifications or added any apps to the phone.
I then rooted my phone using Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 by Wug. It used SuperSU and BusyBox Free, and installed the TWRP custom recovery.
A week later I installed the faux123 kernel. I have not installed any custom ROM at all.
On July 31 2013 I noticed the 4.3 update had been automatically downloaded and ready to install (there was a persistent notification in the status bar as well as a "Restart & Install" message in About phone -> System updates).
Just now (yes I know it has been a week but I had been rather busy so I did my backups in parts) I tried to install the 4.3 update. After the restart I was dumped into TWRP's recovery screen. Not knowing what to do I chose Reboot -> System. The phone started up as normal, but once the boot has completed, I found that I am still on 4.2.2, still rooted, and still running the faux123 kernel. But now - even after reboots and rechecks - About phone -> System updates tells me that "Your system is up to date"!?!?

hi there!
after 3-4 days of telling me my "system is up to date", i got another auto-download and prompt to update yesterday. this time i tried to look for the downloaded update file on my emulated SD card when in TWRP but i couldn't find it; so i chose Restart->System like i did before and again (naturally) nothing was updated (and thank goodness at least nothing broke as far as i could see).
from what i've read i believe we will all get such OTA update notices. however, to successfully update using the downloaded file, we would need our phones to be in stock condition (no root, no custom ROM or kernel, etc.). now this 4.3 update as compared to 4.2.2 isn't all that appealing to me, so i think i will wait for a few months to see there are no bugs before attempting to update again.
if you would like to update now, i suggest you read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390127 in which a member advised on using TWRP to handle the updating and not having to re-root your phone after that. hope it helps, and good luck to you!
just do it manually! It's soo simple..
follow these great instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Look out with flashing userdata userdata.img, dependent on the instructions you choose you have to remove/skip this one because it will erase all your data!
If you want root, install the latest SuperSU 1.5 after you're done.
I also would make a nandroid (full backup) with CWM/TWRP before you start.. if something goes wrong you can always revert all steps.
hi,
apologies if this has been asked before but my searches have not found a clear answer. i have a 2012 nexus 7 Rooted and running JB 4.2.2.
the OTA update to JB 4.3 fails everytime. it gets so far and then shows the android logo with a red triangle exclamation and just "error"
it reboots back to home screen after a minute or two.
my device was rooted using WUGS toolkit and TWRP recovery. i just did the basic rooting so i could use stickmount and have done nothing funny with the device since.
i have seen many guides about flashing 4.3 update that will wipe the device which i really want to avoid.
will it work if i just un-root and re-lock the device with the toolkit and then run the OTA update or is it more complicated than that.

Same Here!, I had TWRP recovery and I'm rooted, so Just Flashed stock recovery and I though I can update easily. But now I can't!
-By the way, I did not change any system file.
Since you have Stickmount did your error message reference a bad file check on 'debuggerd' in the /system/bin folder? It seems Stickmount may replace or alter that file and you have to put back an original for 4.2.2 to successfully flash the update with TWRP. After replacing 'debuggerd', the update flashed just fine for me. Are you sure you didn't get any text other than 'Error'? Are you sure you didn't freeze or delete any system apps?
It also happened to my nexus 4, they recommended to use this way: (It won't erase the data)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377307
hey, the error has no message or info. it literally says the word "error" with red exclamation and thats it. i have not touched any of the system apps or done anything that could upset the system files.
i will try the suggestion from alipashang77, thanks
sorry but those instructions are for the samsung galaxy nexus phone.

There's tonnes of older posts with all the info you'll need. Gotta just search more.
Ota will erase everything except your internal/external sd cards. Plus ota wont work if anything system wise had been altered. You'd have to Odin stock 4.2.2 then do ota.
No reason why you can't just flash a 4.3 rom like anything else tho.
And in all cases, wiping your data and apps is best. You gotta back it up. Restore after. Apps and their data anyway. Restoring system app data is never ever a good idea.

Device won't update via OTA with a custom recovery. And 4.3 OTA will fail if you're rooted. So in order to get OTA make sure you have stock recovery and unroot, then as long as you haven't modified anything system wise it should update successfully. And no, OTA updates will not wipe any data.

thanks everyone. its finally updated to 4.3. i backed up my data and then flashed the stock 4.3 image and that failed and the device would not boot. i thought it was bricked but it let me flash the 4.2.2. image and then the 4.3 OTA update worked.
:good::good::good::good::good:
hi guys i know that the previous reply was that flashing to the 4.2.2 worked then the OTA worked, however i have an explaination for people that were stuck like me
i JUST managed to upgrade my nexus 7 to 4.3 (JWR66Y)
i found a helpful link to upgrade from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1
after following all the steps, my i wasnt able to flash the bootloader (bootloader-grouper-4.23.img).
after doing some googling today, i found that it is the bootloader in the 4.3 update that is different (according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417097&page=2) and that you need the JWR66V bootloader img file (which is also the bootloader-grouper-4.23.img) they explain it in the link above, and have a download link for it there.
so in order to do the update, what you need to do is follow the steps from the 1st link (extract all the files etc in place), but before flashing, copy the bootloader from the 2nd link into your platform-tools folder, then follow the steps to flash.
as long as you follow the steps, and skip step 10, you will keep your data also
hope that helped

Per WugFresh's advice, if you're rooted and using stock reovery, you still can OTA update.

Past OTAs would be successful when rooted, you would usually just lose root access. But the 4.3 OTA won't work while rooted, you'll just keep getting the failed message.

ok thanks. I'm on 4.3 and only root with stock recovery. So if the 4.4 available I will unroot and then OTA. Thanks!
I have a rooted (no CWM changed) and unlocked Nexus 4 with JB 4.3.
I did not get the OTA yet and I wondered if it is because the phone is rooted. In addition, I read some problems with people who tried to update to 4.4 with rooted phones and are getting infinite bootloops.
Do I have to unroot my 4.3 for getting the OTA and achieving a successful installation?
Thank you all on advance

Why do you need OTA update when you can get the stock ROM in flashable zip file? All features are remain the same for stock ROM. Search and download it in the Development sections.

I am rooted and received the OTA notification yesterday. You 'SHOULD' be able to install if ALL you did was root. However, if you applied any mods that made changes to the system, the OTA will fail.

This is your best bet if you want to run 4.4. You'll need to install a custom recovery to flash the zip files. All the files and instructions are here:

First step after installing custom recovery is to wipe data/factory reset, so yes, you will lose your settings.

What I would like is to update to kitkat without losing my data.
I have the bootloader unlocked and the phone rooted, but when I go to recovery mode I get "No command" screen (is that normal?).
I was thinking of getting the phone unrooted, then update through the OTA, then root it again, just for making sure I don't break anything, but the "No command" screen does not look very good...
On the other hand, Would I lose my data if I "unroot" the phone?

To unroot, all you need to do is go into SuperSu, disable root, uninstall the app and then reboot the phone.
If all you have done is root the phone, and didn't modify anything else, then the OTA update 'SHOULD' install without a problem.
You can go to Android Police and download the OTA files and flash them via ADB, or you can just wait for the OTA to be pushed to your device.
If you decide to do it the manual way, there is one additional step you must take to ensure to keep your data I believe.

Thank you for your help gbarayah, I really appreciate it.
One last thing: I'm not pretty sure the only thing I modified was the rooting. I did not install any zip to modify my stock version, but there is something weird. I will explain:
At first I had 4.2.2, then I rooted and installed CWM. When 4.3 was released I got the OTA update correctly but I lost the root, so I rooted it again, this time without CWM.
Is the "No command" screen what is supposed to appear when I go to the recovery mode from fastboot menu? Or I would get a default recovery mode program?
If everything is right I will unroot for getting the OTA, but if not, I'm afraid I will have to flash CWM and the stock version, loosing my settings...
EDIT: Ok, I've just realized to get into stock system recovery I have to press VolUp and Power buttons once I'm in the 'No Command' screen, so I'm pretty sure I don't have problems installing the OTA update. Thank You!!!

Glad I could help. In the future, as long as you don't modify the system by flashing any modifications, you should be able to get the OTA update to install. Root doesn't affect this, and if you're worried about it, you can always uninstall it.
I opted to update using the stock zip files that were posted above and it worked just fine for me.
I used Google's batch file on windows to flash the stock 5.0, having unlocked the bootloader and also installed the chainfire root. Just wondering whether I'll get any fixes, or whether i'll have to always repeat this process, wiping out everything on the device in the process.
You may get prompted to download and install new updates when they arrive, but they will fail upon installation unless you're 100% stock.
there will be an OTA update notification if you have stock rom wether you have a sotck or a custom recovery. But if you download and install the OTA update having a custom recovery, the installation will fail and will show an installation or update error. You will be stucked in "no command" image. so better restore your stock recovery as well before downloading any OTA updates..

Does the Google image download page (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images) get updated as Lollipop gets updated? Or am I going to have to do OTA updates?
hmm.. im not sure which comes first.. but, if you want to get OTA, you'll have to wait for your device to get its turn for the notification to appear. The effect will still be the same though if you flash that google image to your device.. And flashing that device, will save you time from waiting for your OTA to appear on your device.
Cheers! :good:

Well, I'm a bit confused. I'm on stock, but i need root, so i installed cfar, which I think included super su. when a new version of super su came out (i was alerted via google play), i needed to install the twrp recovery (which I didn't have installed at that point) to update it. So I guess I'm not stock any more, even though I've not actually put a non-stock image on. So even if the OTA update message popped up, I doubt it's safe to install it that way, even if it let me. I'm just not sure whether I need to a factory reset/wipe etc before updating, or if I can do a dirty update (the OTA is effectively a dirty update, isn't it?). And, like i said, i'm not sure whether that page gets updated with new images, or whether you're supposed to just put the initial one down and then do OTA updates (and only then root, change the recovery etc).
You have a stock rom but with a CUSTOM recovery. Yes, ota will prompt you to update, but DON'T. You should convert to stock recovery first. Because if you do, the update will push through, but once it asks you to boot to make the update in effect, you will have a NO COMMAND error - bootloop, and only fastboot and recovery (sort of dysfunctional). Just like most of the people here, including me. So make backup of your files first before doing the update. Cheers :good:

Hi, what i did was flashing the official factory image from google via fastboot/bootloader... Make a nandroid backup first though.. Because you'll need to clean flash (system partition/cache and data) to avoid future problems.
please educate me
A few weeks ago I rooted my N4 with CFAR (& of course had to wipe out everything). My understanding was that now that my bootloader is unlocked, I can sideload new images, thus sparing me a rewipe -- & in my ignorance, was anticipating that ChainFire would make 5.0.1 images in due course.
So, If I want to root subsequent 5.x.x releases, how would this work in real life??
Can i just restore stock recovery and then install the 5.0.1 ota update without losing everything?

From what I know, in order to get the ota your bootloader needs to be the stock one, but I could not find it outside of full kdz packages.
I have not rooted yet waiting for this specific update (given the security fixes).
I would suggest you to backup all of your apps and settings with an app like Titanium Backup, flash stock, install the ota, reinstall TWRP, root and magisk and then restore apps and settings from the backup

Here's the baseband version with RS98821c: MPSS.TH.2.0.c1.4-00047-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.88674.1.101802.1
The numbers are slightly different at the end compared to RS98821d , but I'm not sure what if anything might have changed.
maybe, for getting OTA should we just get unroot? How to do it properly?
If recovery is not the stock one, it will not be possible to install the OTA.
Alternatively you might need to wait for someone to make a flashable zip you could flash with TWRP, but given the fact development on this phone is not too active you might need to wait for a while before is available

I was also planning on flashing the complete 21c zip so that I could take the 21d OTA. Glad to know that might not work.
Anyone know if it would be possible to install just the stock 21c recovery image? It's my understanding that having a custom recovery installed is what makes the OTA installation fail. If TWRP is what's getting in the way of installing the OTA, wouldn't replacing TWRP with stock recovery solve the problem without touching the system? If anyone who knows more about this stuff than me could chime in, I'd appreciate it.

First I flashed the magisk uninstaller and rebooted back to recovery. Then I flashed the 21c COMPLETE ZIP and didn't flash magisk so it would replace TWRP with the stock recovery on reboot. Then I rebooted and when I tried to update it went to the stock and threw up an error then rebooted. Upon reboot it displayed a message saying that I couldn't update because my device had been rooted. So I rebooted back in to bootloader and flashed TWRP again. Then I flashed 21a COMPLETE ZIP and no magisk so that the stock recovery would replace TWRP. I rebooted and went through setup and took OTA updates until I was on 21d. Then rebooted back into bootloader and flashed TWRP. Then rooted and we've through setup. I tried every other way but this was the only way that worked for me. I hope it helps!
should be an easier way. Did u see some changes to the radio?
Some of you may remember that last year I had the misfortune of installing the Brightpoint ROM on my Unlocked G5, which completely messed the phone up by not allowing it to connect to AT&T's LTE. It was a process to re-flash the older ROMs/Bootloader and then rebuild it to a stable 21c. I had used it for a while like that, and the only problem I had was that when ending a voice call (HSPA) it would take a while to change back to LTE.
I ended up going with the S8 over the summer (Samsung discount + Note 2 trade in) which got it for $18/month. I've been using it ever since and the LTE to HSPA Voice to LTE change-off on the S8 is done within a second, unlike the G5.
My mom had been using an unlocked Samsung S5 for almost a year now, and it's constantly dropping calls, and this past week it froze on her and required a battery pull, so was thinking of having her try out my (unused) G5 to see if she liked it more. When I turned the G5 on today, I updated all the apps, and then installed the 21d OTA update. The hand-off from voice to LTE still is not as fast as my S8, but seems to be improved from the 21c firmware.
ROM Posted
Just to let you all know, I have posted the latest 21d stock ROM in my thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/stock-21c-roms-flashable-zips-imgs-t3679907
Hi. After 21d received my phone starts to rebbot when I try to play music on phone. No matter if this is stock player or google music. After self reboot music plays normally but if I click pause and wait until first stand by mode, the problem returns. Want to ask you guys to check if you have the same problem or I should download full version of 21d and check if the problem still exists. Thanks.
