A few questions to ROM updates

I currently have 4.2.1 rooted with TWRP. I use franco's kernel and now wondered if I can simply update via OTA? From what I read it is possible with TWRP ?
If that is not possible, should I just download the 4.2.2 update from google and flash it with TWRP ? What is the deodoxed 4.2.2 download?
Thanks

Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848 you can find there all answers

So as I have:
root
franco's kernel
TWRP/CWM
Unlocked bootloader
the only way for me to get 4.2.2 is by flashing it via TWRP/CWM ? Will this just update my system or install a new 4.2.2 meaning all my homescreens/Settings/.. are gone ?

first of all you must flash system.img and boot.img to have stock system, after that you can flash update via TWRP/CWM and reroot. That not wipe your data

and where do I get the the boot.img system.img ?
and i push that to my phone via adb/fastboot ?

Restore stock recovery

Hi Guys,
So I'd rooted the Nexus 4 by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the rooted kernel. I didn't flash a custom ROM after that. So what I had was a 4.2.2 Stock ROM with a rooted kernel so I could use the root functions. Now I get a system update notification after it downloads the new stock 4.3 on its own on my phone. But now since I don't have the stock recovery, selecting " Reboot and install update" after the system update downloads just leads me to the CWM recovery and obviously I don't have a custom update.zip to flash.
So my question is..How do I flash back the stock recovery and hence lose root and update to 4.3 without flashing the STOCK ROM back, thereby keeping my existing apps on 4.2.2. intact? So what I wanna do is flash the stock kernel which restores the stock recovery...Let the stock system update itself to 4.3 and then maybe Root the phone again..
Could someone kindly direct me to a solution?
Would appreciate a quick response
Cheers!

There's no way to restore to stock without wiping everything

Download the factory images, you can find stock recovery inside. Flash the recovery.img in bootloader mode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Kernel and recovery is 2 separated partition in Nexus 4, so flashing kernel won't restore your recovery.

[Q] JWR66Y update

Hello -
I have the original Nexus 7 and was wanting to update to the new JWR66Y release. I am on a stock rooted rom at the moment. Can I just flash a rooted version of this update? And where can I find a recommended rom?
I tried to flash that grouper.zip via TWRP but it fails when I try and flash it. Am I suppoded to try and OTA update, then flash the grouper.zip?
Thanks in advance for you help!!

What was the error? I had to replace the 'debuggerd' file and then flash the grouper.zip in twrp recovery. Then flashed the supersu 1.51 zip to get root back.

Possible to flash TWRP from stock kitkat using flashify?

I have root, and it sounds like twrp 2.7 supports kitkat, so does anyone know if we can flash twrp 2.7 directly from kitkat, using flashify?

Loki has been blocked on the 4.4.2 update. So its impossible at this time. Do some reading through your device forums. There are ways around it, but it requires you to flash back to 4.2.2 first
