Hello,
i have my N4 rooted, unlocked bootloader and with the newest TWRP, but i am on stock rom.
Today i got one of these "New System Update available" notifications and clicked on it to "install" the update. I did this several times on my N7.
As expected, the update failed and i restartet. But then SuperSU granted root access to my 3 autostart root-apps in a loop.
I mean, it granted root access so much, that my N4 was not usable because of slowness. The root itself didnt work at all.
I tried to flash the newest SuperSU .zip but the same happened.
My device is on Android 4.3 and i dont want it to get the 4.4 Update, because i think its ugly.
What exactly happened there and what can i do to get root access back without this strange error and without updating it on 4.4?
Greetings
Elo

I tried updating to the new 4.2 ota, I installed stock ROM then booted then back to recovery to install 4.2 update. I lost root as expected, however my ota root keeper says the is not root backup file even though I ran it before doing all that. Not sure what happened.
On top of that I can't reboot into recovery without going through boot loader. It seems as though the update removed my custom recovery too.
I could easily fix all this if I were home, but I am at work today...no adb access. Is there a way to fix root and recovery without a computer?

To enable ADB to go:
Settings-> About Tablet-> Click Build Number for Easter Egg Multiple times! BOOM!
I am not sure if there's a way of rooting without PC and custom recovery.
I have Nexus 4 running rooted JB 4.3Stock (Build JWR66V). I have also installed xposed framework. Recover is TWRP. Last week I got a system update notification. Update size is about 1.8 MB. After rebooting for installing the update, TWRP shows a message that Root permission may have been broken and displays a button to fix the permission. Even i choose to ignore this and reboot, root permission is not affected in anyways after reboot. However, I noticed that system was not updated and the build number remain the same. After couple of days, i get the update notification again and once again the same thing repeats. Can anyone tell me why its not getting updated?

Its the JWR66Y update, have you looked here for info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848. Or just reflash the factory image and reroot and you`re done http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312.
Re:
Hi Is the update failing because of Xposed Framework? any idea?

Off course, and you have a custom recovery and possibly a custom kernel. Updates can only be installed on factory images, unless you flash them with a custom recovery like TWRP.

Hi it worked! The android build is now JWR66Y. I uninstalled the xposed framework and then flashd the update file thru TWRP. Eventhough after flashin the update, i flashed the SU, it didnt work (TWRP was showing that the installation was success). When i rebooted, cudnt find SU in apps. So I just installed the app from Play Store and it worked! Now I have root access too.
Thanks mate!
My device was fine and rooted until 4.3 dropped and just like when 4.2 dropped I lost root access.
I downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit and ran through the Root process. There were a couple of times where the on screen messages weren't going forward such as push files to device, etc. but when I rebooted the device it seemed to be ok and it went into TWRP.
After it went into TWRP it said Rooting but nothing happened. I hit reboot, system, then it asked if I wanted to root. I swiped for yes.
I rebooted my device and started Super SU. It says my device isn't rooted.
Can anyone assist me with this. I'm almost thinking this isn't worth it if I have to jump through hoops every time there is an update.
Thanks.
Nevermind I fixed it. I had to install SuperSU 1.5 manually in recovery in order to get it to work.

So I just tried to take an OTA and it gave me an error on the install screen then rebooted. Upon restart it gave me a message saying my device was suspected of rooting and that no OTA will be taken. All I've done is root, install root Explorer and titanium and hidden a few apps. Recovery is stock so I'm on the stock ROM. I really have no use for root so I don't mind if I lose it.
Should I just uninstall superuser or do I need a factory reset before I can take an OTA?
I have AT&T G2 rooted and stock recovery. I took the OTA update and all went fine and I didn't lose root either. All good on this end other than not knowing what was in the update.
EDIT: I now know what was in the update lol! A quick google search usually answers most question
Hi
I think I updated from android 4.2 to 4.3. My phone suddenly restarted (I guess I accidentally tapped update android in the notification bar). . I see I have android 4.3 now and I think I had 4.2 before.
Another thing that has happened is that supersu has stopped working. When I try to open it it says "thre is no SU binary installed..........If you just upgraded to android 4.3 you ned to manually re-root"
I really don't want to lose all my data and applications doing that. What can I do?
Thanks
Flash TWRP and flash supersu from TWRP.
