[Q] Can't flash SuperSU to Nexus 4 on Android 4.3

Hi, any help resolving this would be really appreciated. I have updated my Nexus 4 to Android 4.3 by installing through CWM. The upgrade worked fine however I cannot flash the SuperSU zip afterwards. I am using the experimental version released specifically for 4.3 however I just get the message: unable to open 'file', installation aborted (bad). I have tried to redownload in case it was a corrupt zip but I just get the same result. I have also tried reflashing 4.3 but this doesn't make a difference either.The old SuperSU is still installed but states that it has no binaries if I try to open it.
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I have been searching all evening for a solution.

Did you try flashing the latest supersu? I've flashed this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/p97y9pn4tie9iyi/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip pressed "go back" when recovery asked to fix recovery or something like that and it works just fine
Ah, The version I have is 1.41 not 1.43, although I guess I downloaded from an older post in the blog. Thank you, hopefully that will work.

Unfortunately this still hasn't worked, I have tried v1.43 of SuperSU, still failes. I have also changed my recovery from CWM to TWRP but this also fails to flash SuperSU v1.43 with the same error. Any other suggestions?
I think I have resolved this now, I had to sideload the SuperSU file on instead, so far so good.
Thanks.

I have the same issue. I also notice root explorer can't look inside zip files. It seems like whatever custom recoveries and other apps use to extract zip files is busted/removed after our 4.3 update. Is this a busybox issue? Side loading might use extraction tools on the computer instead?
I resolved this too. It turned out the super SU zip file I had grabbed for 1.43 wasn't the normal CWM/TWRP recovery package. When I looked at the zip file on my computer I noticed it contained another compressed file. I waited a few days root-less and then noticed that super SU 1.51 had been released. I used this file and it worked like it should have the first time. This package looks like the normal recovery flashable file, with the manifest and directory structure it should have. So either I grabbed the wrong file or there was a moment in time when the chainfire's site was dishing out bad files.
Glad it's working now, root is restored.

Can you elaborate, as to what exactly you did to restore the root?

Installing kernel problem

I'm having problems installing any of the franco kernel through twrp 2.6 the latest twrp anyways when I install the zip file it fails. I'm running 9/4 pac also though i don't think that would have anything to do with it failing i tried the 182 and 178 i believe also the jj ones to any help thanks. Oh also i saw the iso files i believe but thought they had to be zipped to install through recovery so maybe that way would work however you install them with the iso thanks again

sorry not iso. I didn't download the img file and meant img file. I only downloaded the zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002782 I first thought it was my recovery was out of date so updated twrp which got me nothing and took forever because goomanager didn't do it so had to use nexus root tool kitv1.7.2 finally got that updated and still the zip file fails also tried the lte zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358931 to have lte when and if it ever rolls out in my area but that ones not important plus i think pac's rom has it automatically in it because when i dialed *#*#4636#*#* lte is an option.
Anyways the problems with the zip file when i install it or try to that is it fails with 182 the jj file to and the 178 and jj file don't know what i'm doing wrong and it my mistake again img not iso.

you cant flash img files via recovery.. you either flash it via fastboot or through apps that flash it via fasrboot/terminal for you.

I have the same issue with my nexus 4. Installed jelly bam, then had to update tarp to 2.6, yet it still won't flash any version of Franco kernel. Yes they are zip files and from the Dev directly. It gives me zip verification failed so I toggled verify zip signature and it said success. I wipe cache again and reboot. Now I am stuck with with the white Google logo. So I just reinstall jelly bam to get back to a working kernel. I have yet to flash cm to see if a different recovery works, or if it's a problem with the kernel or even jelly bam
SOLVED
I changed the recovery from twrp to cwm and then flashed it. cwm said it worked, but when i wiped cache and rebooted, im still stuck on the white google logo. Looking at your kernel, im assuming you too have jelly bam installed.
It seems you have to manually install it. Download the img file you want off here (use jss versions if you are on jellybam 10.2+)
go to fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot kernel_name.img
this seems to have worked for me. why it has to be this way; i have no idea.
why do you wipe cache? try without wiping!
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk 4
Its just a habit. Can that actually be the issue? Also I did not check, but maybe the reason it said "success" was because file signature verification was off. Twrp said it worked when I turned it off, so that could be why cwm said successful too

Did you wipe before you flash?
You need to flash the full ROM zip, not just the OTA zip.

Well, I've never flashed one either. This is my first OnePlus device.
The link you posted is the official one for downloads and the size of the full ROM I understood is 1.5 - 2GB. So it seems you do have the right file.
You could flash the stock recovery img with TWRP - it can be obtained from the same link - and flash the OTA zip with that.
During the flashing process of the OTA you would've lost TWRP anyway, so it's not a big loss.

To update my rooted phone to B182 I had to download the full package (2.3gb, including update.zip and update_full_WASL21A_hw_eu.zip). I was not successfull in updating via TWRP. I updated via the official system menu so I don't know how exactly it was applied. According to other guides (http://www.stechguide.com/tag/was-lx1c432b182/ for example) it should be update.zip first and update_full_WASL21A_hw_eu.zip second, without a reboot. Let us know how it worked out...

Unfortunately it didn't work. The only thing i can do is boot in the TWRP recovery. Is there a way to flash the stock rom with fastboot?

I only tried flashing the update via sideload and recovery and it didn't work (http://rootmygalaxy.net/flash-ota-firmware-updates-using-adb-fastboot-commands/). Maybe you are lucky. Problem is, I'm quite new to this stuff, hopefully someone else can help out.
Can someone please provide us with a link for the stock recovery?

Nice, congrats

Hello,
I got the error " error installing zip file " while a try to flash oos 11.1.2.2.
I try sideload instead by it Failed instantly. I tried to format data and wipe without any change. I also tried to boot other version of TWRP (I currently use a custom version of TWRP 3.6.0), but I always got a Crash Dump error.
I was able to install rom with this version of TWRP before and I have wanted to install PixelExperience but I have forgotten to flash oos 11.1.2.2 before and i think is that witch broken TWRP.
I also tried to reinstall TWRP.
Any ideas on this?

I had that error before from a bad copy of oos. I would download it again and copy to USB again if that's what you're using. Also use this twrp to fastboot boot it works I actually just had to do it a min ago.

Thank you, I will try that. Can you send me a link of oos that I should install, I'm not sure if it's that one https://www.oneplus.com/fr/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574156215016 .
Also, shoud I use "flash current TWRP" before flashing the ROM?
