can i flash those 4.4.3 costom rom on top of what i have ? or we have to wait for stock 4.43?
Did you back up your stock rom. I think it will do because it will erase everything event your internal file. After that you can root and install twrp.

Yes have my backup stock.

So I have to go back to stock rom before I can flash 4.4.3 custom rom? What about do I need to update the bootloader?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Restore to stock, plug your n7 to computer and make sure you have unlock boot loader, install n7 driver with adb , turn on USB debuting, and open the latest wugfresh root tool kit. Choose your firmware which is ktu84l n7 wifi. Find flash stock and unroot button. It will request you to download factory img. If you already download then proceed to flash. it will take a while just be patient. If done you can rooted back, just choose root with custom recovery.
Guys correct me if I am wrong, this is my personal experience.

That IMG that you flash is 4.4.3 so after flashed you already in 4.4.3.

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?

In 4.2.2 I used AOKP. I think they're working on 4.3 now (hopefully it will be out soon).
Cyanogemod is pretty awesome and simple too.

Not if you don't reboot after you unlock. Flash a custom recovery right after you unlock wipe caches then reboot = no data loss

If you are looking for some performance enhancements then you just need a root and CWM(recovery) installed for flashing kernels, check Nexus 4 toolkit. Custom ROMS are more for aesthetic enhancements, and the most worked ROM on the area of aesthetic changes is Paranoid Android ROM, they have regular builds for Nexus 4. So check them out, Enjoy your N4 ! .

For 4.3 custom ROMs the makoz20i bootloader is not required, but the .84 radio is required.

It's recommended to upgrade to the makoz20i bootloader to be ready for KeyLimePie.
Flash the radio and bootloader first, then flash the ROM, Gapps, and SuperSU (if not included in the ROM).

Why? The next android version will probably have a newer bootloader as well, I dont get your point...

Not many noticeable effects but it might sort out your issue.

So pretty much as title states.. just wanted to find out whether I'd have to re-root the phone and if I would lose LTE (I think I would lose LTE, but not sure about root)? Also, overall, is 4.4 worth upgrading to?
thanks lots!
IMHO update is definitely worth it. You'll lose root and LTE. But you can easily just reroot and flash a LTE radio.

This device is so easy to root don't worry about it. Do you have a custom recovery? If so find the update.zip. If you don't try the ota. If you've changed system files out probably won't work but if you haven't it will

i actually used to have 4.3 on this nexus, but reverted back to 4.2 because when i did it, you couldn't have LTE with 4.3.. so you saying you can flash the radio with 4.4 now?
