OTA update with 3rd party kernels

I am currently running FraNco.Kernel R38 and was wondering how I go about updating to the newest version of android when it releases. Would I do an ota update and be fine or would I have to flash the whole ROM and lose all my stuff?
Would I be able to use cwm or twrp and restore just the data?
Still new to android and was having a hard time finding this with search.
Thank you so much!

Still haven't updated to 4.2.2. One question

I'm still on the 4.13 boot loader obviously since I'm on 4.2.1. I don't have a computer so can I just flash a 4.2.2 ROM without any problems? Thanks

yeah i dont think having a old bootloader would affect the rom flashing.
but why not wait til you're able to flash the new bootloader and then a 4.2.2 rom as well?

I use the official CM10.1 so I want to update to the latest nightly. But okay. Thanks!

Will 4.3 remove the LTE featured I flashed on 4.2.2

Thanks in advance guys!

It will. 4.3 isn't fully compatible with the LTE enabled, older radio. People are messing with hybrid radios to fix the incompatibility issues, but that's still a work in process i.e. bugs.

No bugs on hybrid radio here...

Apparently, no more bugs.

My OTA update said 4.3 was ready to install, but when I clicked install nothing seemed to happen. I am rooted and have TWRP installed as my recovery. Any suggestions?
And now when I check for an update, my phone says I'm up to date but I'm still on 4.2.2.

You have to do it manually by use fastboot method. OTA is not gonna work when you flash the TWRP as your Recovery.
2 method: 1. fastboot flash your recovery back to stock one OTA will work. 2. Flash your N4 with fastboot to get 4.3 ROM.

I went back to the stock 4.2.2 rom and I'm not rooted anymore, but now the stock recovery doesn't work. So how can I update to 4.3?

Should I update and root Android 4.3

I haven't update 4.3 yet but I want to try out the latest PA rom. Should I just wait until it becomes stable or just factory restore and head into 4.3 and root. Also does nandroid works on Android 4.3 or i am going to lose everything?

I think this is more of your dilemma than an actual issue.
As long as your custom recovery works, nandroid should work.
Should you wait till it becomes stable? Up to you.
Just factory restore and head into 4.3? Up to you.
I dont see why you would wanna OTA to 4.3 and then flash PA. Why not just flash PA straight?

I use Multi Boot. PA is a solid ROM. CM10.2 is too. I boot between them. If I stayed with stock not possible to do this.

Nope. If you flash the latest PA, you would be wiping your ota-ed 4.3. So there would be no difference at all. You do however, need to flash your new radio for 4.3

Help upgrading nexus 4 from 4.2.2 to 4.3

Hi, I own a rooted nexus 4 currently running 4.2.2, I just tried to install CM 10.2 and it went to a boot loop, so I restored a backup and its stock again (with cwm recovery)...
What should I do? What can I be doing wrong?

Sergio, computer no work what wrong?

Flash the new 4.3 bootloader and radio using cwm. Then do a full wipe and flash your 4.3 ROM of choice.
Downloads: bootloader and radio.
