Not that I'm aware of and I'm pretty familiar with the n4. This is why I don't recommend people flash custom roms if they don't have access to a pc. Stuff happens that can only be solved with a pc. That's the position you're in now.

I took apart pa gapps in file manager got everything except google play services keeps fc ing. Got all my other apps from mobile market. If there was just a way to root on phone like kk had. I also wish there was a nexus toolkit for phones without PC that would be awesome or a way to switch from OK to lollipop and back like a 2nd bootloader. Kindle HD 7 does that I have it
Anyway of grabbing 5.0.2 update when it comes to our phone since I'm not rooted or do I have to be on stock?

Got a question. I lost root after the 4.3 ota update. Is it possible to get it back without losing everything on the tablet again? I was running SuperSU and OTARootkeeper at the time. When I got into OTARootkeeper is says the su file is there, but when I click restore root it seems not to be able to. I am not a super power user. I used WUGs tookkit to unlock it and root it in the first place. Also does this mean I lost unlock also?
Thanks!
I was in the same situation after installing the update through custom recovery. I remained unlocked. I used Wugs toolkit to root and install custom recovery (TWRP). In recovery I installed Chainfire's updated SuperSu zip. After booting back up, I had root and custom recovery. Search for SuperSu v1.43.

No, you do not lose data after flashing a recovery. Chainfire leased SuperSU 1.5 today.

Flashed 4.3 and lost root. I have downloaded the latest SU to my N7 and how am unsure how to go about flashing the ZIP since I no longer have access to custom recovery.

Ok opened up Wugs Nexus Root toolkit. Let it update everything it wanted to and then then told it to root. I was indeed still unlocked and it went ahead and reestablished root without losing anything. I updated OTA RootKeeper afterward and all seems happy.
Thanks!

Flash the TWRP image via fastboot. Either with a toolkit or manually.

OK got one crazy issue. I root but sometimes I lose it and have to reboot to get it back. SuperSu can't write the binary. Every time I open it it wants to write the binary but can't seem to. After a reboot Otarootkeeper say root is there. Then later it will be gone and I have to reboot to get it back.

I've been unsuccessful in getting any roms to work. I tried 4.2.2 rom and got lg screen then black, had to restore nand backup from twrp recovery but it was hellish to get into, had to do the hold vol+pwr precisely, almost gave up. So, reverted to a backup just fine.
Next tried to loki_flash recovery 2.6.3.1 (then was going to do them in order-2.6.3.2>2.6.3.3 [have not tried going directly to 2.6.3.3) and was hit with an unsupported aboot error (device mismatch).
So now i'm going to try and use flash tool to revert back to 11A, root, install twrp (I hope this is possible and I don't brick my phone [i'm new to all of this])
Anyone tell me if this is an acceptable option to proceed? Thank's in advance.
Acceptable. KDZ to 11A.
Just wanted to post I was successful using lg flash tool to revert to 11A, rooted, freegee twrp, flashed 2.6.3.3, flashed OSE ROM. Everything is well ATM!

TWRP will not work on the OTA, yet. However, there is a working CWM in the HD forum. I flashed it to my M and have zero issues with it.

but it seems to be some problem with CM11 package, the assert check shows my device ID is empty so the recovery just abort the installation.

CM11 won't work if you've updated. Apparently, the boot loader is updated and the ROMs haven't been updated for it.

You have an unlocked BL, just flash SU to get root, and delete/freeze apps. That's pretty much what I did and used Xposed on top of that.
I haven't tried it yet, buy couldn't you just rsd back to an earlier build then flash your custom ROM?

It means that none of the ROMs out right now will work with the new CWM. Also, quit trying flash TWRP. TWRP is not compatible with the new KK, yet.

My xt907 Has the OTA 4.4 update and an unlocked BL. I don't have a custom recovery installed anymore. Is it possible to flash SU or superuser and get root with fastboot. If so. Please help! Thanks. I'm ok with flashing CWN if need be. I just want root to install a Xposed and remove bloatware.

I'm pretty sure you can use fastboot/ADB to sideload zips, though I'm not super familiar with the commands so I wouldn't know how to explain it to you.
I am familiar enough with the commands, but I am unable to find the zips to flash. any help would be great.
Thanks,

I was one of the people who thought it would be cool to update to the OTA immediately without waiting and reading... I got the CWM recovery going and rooted stock 4.2.2 , but I really cant wait for TWRP to get updated so I can get back to my Rom, or really any supported Rom would be better then stock. I have only myself to blame.

TWRP for KitKat Bootloader

I have an i337. Never had any OTAs. I was using a recovery that would 'auto-loki' so I never had to flash the lokidoki zip before.
I'm trying to install the latest GPE by Danvdh and I keep ending up booting into twrp(2.6.0.0).
I wipe all that one would normally wipe.
Then I flash the ROM.
The aroma installer starts, I've tried the googy kernal and (mostly) the stock kernal.
I uncheck the reboot now option at the end of the aroma installer to get back into twrp
I then flash the lokidoki zip.
I reboot and get kicked back into the recovery.
I'm thinking I may need a newer version of TWRP, but I'm not sure. I dont want to use odin to get back on jellybean just to update the recovery unless I know that's the issue.
the loki zip is ~10MB
Any info is much appreciated. I've been at this for hours.
You need a newer version of twrp. You don't need to use Odin. Look for the flashify app in the play store.

If you can find a zip. I'd make one for you, they're easy once you know how, but I'm traveling on business and don't have access to a computer.

So I have converted my Note for to developer and have an unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP through Odin. I have tried a few times to gain root by installing SuperSU through TWRP, but it just manages to keep looping my phone after it installs. Is there a way to install SuperSU without doing it through TWRP as I think that's the problem?
Also I wouldn't be able to install a ROM until I gain root correct?
Thank you for all of your help

So yea.I don't mean to hijack this thread or anything, but I'm having thebsane issue. I've converted to Dev edition, installed TWRP, and am currently running CM 13. However, whenever I try to use an app that requires root, it says that I don't have root.
I've tried flashing the latest Super SU in recovery, downloading Super SU from the play store, and I've tried flashing the Emotion kernel (when i try to flash that, my screen goes black and I'm returned to my recovery home)
What pre rooted ROMs are out?
And are my issues rooting because I flashed a 6.0,1 ROM before getting permanent root?

Now my only issue is that once I was rooted and everything I wanted to flash CM13.
I shut down my phone and went into TWRP, I restored and the tried to install CM13+Gapps and it just went into a black screen and started over. I rebooted, but now I'm in a boot loop.
So I am going to start over and regain root, but do you know if I did something incorrectly? How would I go about it? Thank you.

Hmm im not sure (i'm running stock + Emotion kernel). But if you want to go CM13, you dont need to flash the Emotion kernel.
EDIT: you did a full factory reset (via recovery) before you flashed CM13 right?

Yes I did, but I had the Emotion Kernal installed. That's probably why, I'm going to attempt right now to flash SuperSu then CM13.

Cm13 is pre-rooted, root is embedded in the rom, superSu isn't needed, you can turn it on in developer settings.

Yea, try with stock kernal. I don't think you need to flash SS when flashing CM13 though
For me, when I try to flash CM13 through TWRP it'll get to saying "MTP Enabled" in the terminal window, then black screens for a few seconds, and reboots to TWRP. It also doesn't flash CM13, and I'm at a loss for what to do
