im assuming that your bootloader is unlocked, since you had root.. flash a custom recovery via fastboot, then flash the latest supersu su binaries(search xda or google for supersu, youll find it very quick) via your custom recovery. thats all.

My question is simple. Can we recieve OTA update after unlocked bootloader and rooted Nexus 7 device ??
As long as you don't install a custom recovery, then yes. You'll lose root though unless you use OTA RootKeeper.

lol how do you not know if you put a custom recovery on your device? if you rooted it, you would have the option to put custom recovery, especially now on all these one-click-toolkits
IS the one-click toolkit adding a custom recovery to your device?
If so then mine has and no 4.1.2 for me, GREAT
You can do the OTA Update if you use an app called OTA Root Keeper (or something like that) to keep root when you update.

I have rooted my Nexus device in JB 4.1.2, but when I updated to 4.2, I lost root. I have the bootloader unlocked. Is there any way to root it without flashing a custom recovery like CWM? I want to receive OTA updates, but I want root for StickMount and GMD Gesture Control...

Since ur already unlocked why don't u just use the Nexus root toolkit to just root ur device without installing a custom recovery?
I think u should be fine that way

I can't. On NRT 1.5.5 I only see 4.1.2 as max version. Also I see (Any build) But when I do the TWRP thing (Any Build), when I "Swipe to Confirm Flash" It says "Failed"...

I recently realized that I use no root requiring apps or custom ROMs on my Nexus 7(while I keep my phone rooted for many a reason). Now that I hear the 4.4 update is being pushed, it occurs to me that all keeping a custom recovery and root on my tablet does is complicate updates. So I want to unroot, return my recovery to the stock, and get myself all ready to wait for the update to push out. What would be the best way to do this that does not require me to lose data/game saves/have to reset everything up?
Fastboot flash the stock recovery and don't worry about su because the ota will take care of that.

I am sure this has been answered somewhere and I did search the forum before posting but right now i am pretty excited about 4.4 and would like the experts to answer this regarding grouper :-
I got the 4.3 update OTA on a rooted 4.2. I later rooted the 4.3 but did not remove any default apps. I also have frano kernel installed and TWRP recovery. Does the kernel and custom recovery affect the OTA process? Am i safe for 4.4 OTA? or shall i unroot, install stock kernel and also stock recovery?
Thanks
You should be fine if you install the stock recovery before the OTA arrives

Open the SuperSU app on your device.. Go to the app settings and select the option to unroot/clean up.. Reboot. That is all.

Yes, you'll want the stock kernel and stock recovery installed.
On grouper, it can update independent of changes you have made to the system and recovery. This isn't true for all other nexus devices, for example, mako. Doing the 4.4 update will get rid of root for you, but it will flash fine even if you have a custom recovery. You may need to flash stock recovery manually if you don't want custom recovery anymore.

In the past, that has failed for me. I'm still one update behind on 4.3 because it would not install and I was too lazy previously to unroot and get it to install.

Do you know where I can find the recovery itself? Only ones I find in my searching are TWRP and Clockwork.

Did you ever find the stock recovery? I'm looking to unroot without losing my app data..
PS, sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but it is exactly what I am looking for.
Hey guys,
I'm on vacation and received 4.4.2 ota which has removed the root, is there any way to do this without using a computer?
I have bootloader unlocked.
Thanks.
If you have a custom recovery installed, just flash latest supersu.zip through it.

Ah, forget that, i have stock recovery :/
Hello all, last night 5.1 factory image was released. Right now am at 5.0.1, stock and rooted with few mods.
I didn't want to sideload OTA, because its pain in the ass when you're rooted and I don't like OTA.
I'm gonna do fresh install, I find it better and easier.
So my questions are:
How do I root it on 5.1, the same way as I rooted on 5.0.1?
I used Nexus Root Toolkit, but I know how to do a lot of stuff using the adb commands so that's not a problem for me.
I don't want to use NRT this time.
Can I obtain root this way:
I flash 5.1, then TWRP then just flash flashable SuperSU zip?
Will I be able to flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 onto 5.1, and same goes for SuperSU,
can I flash TWRP/SuperSU regarding which android version I have?
The main reason for using TWRP now, is so when Xposed becomes beta/stable I can flash it.
Thanks
