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.

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.

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.

thank you, could do the re-root:good:
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.
So I finally found some time for my unlocked and rooted nexus 4. Right now it is on 4.3 stock and I want to update to 4.4.2. Now the question which I couldn't find an answer on Google: Do I loose root after manual update? I've seen some videos on that, but some say that you need stock recovery (I have TWRP), but nothing about root.
Also, I'd install Franco kernel after that.
Help and possible tutorial would be appreciated, I'm still kinda new to android.
You can have a stock experience by installing the Experience ROM in the development thread.
Make sure you are running the latest TWRP before trying to flash a 4.4 ROM.

Yes, always when you flash another stock Rom, you will lose root.
But it's a matter of seconds to reroot after flashing latest supersu.zip through TWRP.

Is it any different on the latest official lollipop update?

Thanks. Im a noob with the S4. My previous phone was the HTC One X

Flash a recovery then flash a ROM. I recommend reading the tutorials in the General section, but there's nothing special involved in installing a custom ROM.
Whats the knox bootloader?

At first root your phone then Flash TWRP RECOVERY, download a custom rom for your model ,put the rom on external SD CARD and flash it in Twrp .
DO SOME SEARCHING AT FIRST
Flashing TWRP maybe won't work without root (just replied to post with issue) i had this issue also
