And what about if Nexus 4 unlock bootloader, stock 4.3, and unroot ? still get OTA's update ?
sorry if my question is weird. but this makes me so curious.

Of course it'll get kitkat.
And yes you shouldn't have any issues getting the ota. As long as everything is stock you are fine. Bootloader state (unlocked or locked) has nothing to do with your ability to receive otas.

What should I do to not get the OTA?

I wanna keep lte, and I have no issues with 4.2.1
Because once the ota comes the stupid notification doesn't go away
Should I root? I heard if you're rooted you don't get the OTA

If you don't have stock ROM or Kernal the update should fail - I think.
Just ignore the request to update once it comes into your phone.

you just need to reinstall the old modem once you updated to get LTE back

Does 4.2.2 ota break root?

Said something about unsigned or unverified from cwm recovery. Aborted now I'm curious what to do next.

Yes it does, I'm currently having this problem... Rooted, updated ota and now root is gone and not sure what to do

Guess I'll wait till I get home so I can root again. Thanks

I just used the toolkit to root again afterwards.
Toolkit option 4?

Yes. However, mine is the donate version, so I'm not sure if that will make a difference. You might want to check out the thread first.
Why not just fastboot flash your recovery and then use that to flash your su zip?

Update to 4.3

I'm trying to get the system update from the settings but it keep saying that is my device is up to date.
anyone know why??

Honestly, it should come up naturally..If it doesn't work, you can always download the stock image from Google site and flash it manually.. Just search for the name efrant in this forum, you'll get what you seek

Pretty sure you only get the update on stock rom. Are you sure the update isn't from PA?
Nope, i checked the Settings in System updates and got a message about 4.3 system update.

Re-locking bootloader?

Hey guys,
I have TWRP set up and rooted but I hate that little open lock icon when I boot up the phone.
If I relock the bootloader will I still be able to flash mods/roms etc since I have TWRP installed?
Thanks in advance!
Without stock when you relock it will just keep booting back into the bootloader instead of android

I am on stock, just another recovery and rooted.
So it won't boot into bootloader the whole time or will it?

Who cares? You see it for like 2 seconds.

Well I guess I care. Not only because it's irritating but also to get warranty back.

With a custom recovery. Relocking the bootloader should cause the device to fail to boot.
It doesn't matter if you still have a stock rom.
It will fail the locked checks and put you straight into the bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
just revert to stock with original recovery if worried about it since you cant lock it on custom firmware
Okay thank I know enough, will just let the unlocked lock icon show.

4.4 to 4.4.2 (rooted with custom lockrings, sounds..)

Is it possible to just undo the root, apply the OTA and root again? thanks
As long as you have stock recovery you should be fine.
