sorry, i know there's a few thread where they will guide me through to root my nexus 4. but i'm bit dumb on all these. At this moment, i'm on lollipop 5.0.1 and there's a lot feature are bit annoying, especially turning on & off the mobile data. So after quick google & read on thread, there's one widget can turn on and off easily the mobile data but it needs to root. so i have no choice i have to root my nexus 4.

Does anyone know where to find a TWRP flashable version of the new bootloader?
(And yes, I searched before I asked.)
Use fastboot to flash it, it's even more secure.

This. It is far safer to fastboot flash the bootloader than to attempt using a flashable zip that can more easily hard brick your device.
Ok guys quick one for you I tried to use voodoo I did the ota but now voodoo won't reroot the device not sure what to do here, sorry if there is a post about this but a little hard to search right now.

If you read the app info on play store it says it won't work on 4.3 but they are trying to find a fix.

I would sit tight and let the app developers try and straighten things out. I updated my nexus4 to 4.3 but will wait awhile before doing my n7. I'm sure it won't be long!

Ok need a little help trying the root kit but for some reason I keep getting adb can't connect
Sent From My Rooted G3
Only thing I can suggest is make sure you have USB debugging enabled and make sure you have the correct drivers installed. It's probably best to ask in the thread of the toolkit you're using, I haven't tried many toolkits but wugs has a pretty good walk thru for driver installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

I followed the instructions in the thread below for 'Already updated to 4.3 and have an OTA notificaion? (JWR66Y from JWR66V)'.
I unrooted, flashed the update zip in recovery and immediately after flashed the superuser zip and all was fine.

Boot into recovery and flash Chainfire's SuperSU package. After that you are rooted.

Id recommend never using a toolkit, for so many reasons I've seen; people don't understand what's going on and can't fix errors, they come asking about things that should be basic knowledge, they don't learn anything in the process, and so on - its like giving kids a calculator before they can add.
Anyway rant over, flash this in recovery; http://download.chainfire.eu/365/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip, and if you need a recovery; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654

Hello guys, as you read above, is there a flashble 4.4.3 or 4.4.4?
Currently I'm using KK 4.4.2.

Thank you again, i know that post, but every time I have tried zips from there
Didn't worked with me ( with updates to 442 until now, I can't flash any zips from there.. I have got a fail
I'm on latest TWRP 2.7.1 / xposed, and of course rooted
Thanks for your time..

If the ota fails every time, that means that your /system partition is too heavily modified for the ota to complete ( most likely the result of xposed). You need to disable xposed, flash the ota (4.4.4 zip) and then flash the SuperSU zip again for root, and then re-enable xposed.

Thank you for your answer
I have tried what you said, sadly it doesn't work
I'm even did full unroot from inside the supersu.. I think I just need to have a modified update.zip to pass this.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Because it still fails, the best thing I can suggest is to download the 4.4.3 factory image, extract the system.img and the flash that through fastboot. This will return your /system to stock and you can flash the ota without issue, although you will need to restore any /system mods.

This guide should still work, only thing is that I would use TWRP recovery instead of CWM recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179
