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!

Will 4.3 remove the LTE featured I flashed on 4.2.2

Thanks in advance guys!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
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.

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?

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.

Ok so we just have to sit tight correct?

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 access with PA 4.3

Does it work for anyone? Upon first boot it works like normal but after I reboot it thinks I don't have root anymore.
Try rebooting again, some got this issue.

I Rooted 4.3, have no problems with root after rebooting.
Are you sure you have the latest SU (v1.51) flashed?

The newest PA apparently you don't need to flash another zip so I deleted it after it worked on first boot.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you again, i know that post, but every time I have tried zips from there
Didn't worked with me ( with updates to 442 until now, I can't flash any zips from there.. I have got a fail
I'm on latest TWRP 2.7.1 / xposed, and of course rooted
Thanks for your time..

If the ota fails every time, that means that your /system partition is too heavily modified for the ota to complete ( most likely the result of xposed). You need to disable xposed, flash the ota (4.4.4 zip) and then flash the SuperSU zip again for root, and then re-enable xposed.

Thank you for your answer
I have tried what you said, sadly it doesn't work
I'm even did full unroot from inside the supersu.. I think I just need to have a modified update.zip to pass this.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Because it still fails, the best thing I can suggest is to download the 4.4.3 factory image, extract the system.img and the flash that through fastboot. This will return your /system to stock and you can flash the ota without issue, although you will need to restore any /system mods.
