Hi
I think I updated from android 4.2 to 4.3. My phone suddenly restarted (I guess I accidentally tapped update android in the notification bar). . I see I have android 4.3 now and I think I had 4.2 before.
Another thing that has happened is that supersu has stopped working. When I try to open it it says "thre is no SU binary installed..........If you just upgraded to android 4.3 you ned to manually re-root"
I really don't want to lose all my data and applications doing that. What can I do?
Thanks
Flash TWRP and flash supersu from TWRP.

I have Nexus 4 running rooted JB 4.3Stock (Build JWR66V). I have also installed xposed framework. Recover is TWRP. Last week I got a system update notification. Update size is about 1.8 MB. After rebooting for installing the update, TWRP shows a message that Root permission may have been broken and displays a button to fix the permission. Even i choose to ignore this and reboot, root permission is not affected in anyways after reboot. However, I noticed that system was not updated and the build number remain the same. After couple of days, i get the update notification again and once again the same thing repeats. Can anyone tell me why its not getting updated?

Its the JWR66Y update, have you looked here for info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848. Or just reflash the factory image and reroot and you`re done http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312.
Re:
Hi Is the update failing because of Xposed Framework? any idea?

Off course, and you have a custom recovery and possibly a custom kernel. Updates can only be installed on factory images, unless you flash them with a custom recovery like TWRP.

Hi it worked! The android build is now JWR66Y. I uninstalled the xposed framework and then flashd the update file thru TWRP. Eventhough after flashin the update, i flashed the SU, it didnt work (TWRP was showing that the installation was success). When i rebooted, cudnt find SU in apps. So I just installed the app from Play Store and it worked! Now I have root access too.
Thanks mate!
Hello,
i have my N4 rooted, unlocked bootloader and with the newest TWRP, but i am on stock rom.
Today i got one of these "New System Update available" notifications and clicked on it to "install" the update. I did this several times on my N7.
As expected, the update failed and i restartet. But then SuperSU granted root access to my 3 autostart root-apps in a loop.
I mean, it granted root access so much, that my N4 was not usable because of slowness. The root itself didnt work at all.
I tried to flash the newest SuperSU .zip but the same happened.
My device is on Android 4.3 and i dont want it to get the 4.4 Update, because i think its ugly.
What exactly happened there and what can i do to get root access back without this strange error and without updating it on 4.4?
Greetings

Hi,
i have a rooted nexus 4 with TWRP installed.
I got an OTA update on the phone which says TAP to Install Android 4.4, when i click that , it restarts the phone into TWRP and thats it....no update.
when i reboot y phone back to normal, its still on 4.3.
I want to install 4.4.2 without loosing my data. Is it possible, else i will have to install the 4.4.2 via TWRP , but install everything all over again, which i dont want to do.
i just want to install the OTA update.
Thanks.
Just flash the stock rom there's a few floating around here and you won't need to wipe data
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
OTA updates require a stock recovery and a stock rom.
as you all know the new update 5.1.1 was just yesterday so ive tried all posible ways to root my device but was all ending by a fail does any one have an idea of how i can root my device cause honestly i like the new update, thx
At the moment I think the only way is downgrade to I think its 108 then root and install recovery and then flash a pre-root 386.

I personally did it with flashing a prerooted firmware from TWRP recovery, since I was on rooted 5.0.2.
Didn't do it quite well, but the only oddity is an app icon that remained in my drawer. Must be the first attempt of installing the supersu with the prerooted zip. After installing the supersu as standalone it shows a different icon.
Device is rooted and has dual recovery, because root explorer and cerberus asked for permission. Installed 4K and 120fps mod. Also installed intelligent gestures (smart call handling, smart rotation and smart backlight) and face in camera.apk. Those are the extras I needed.
Forgot to say that I created a prerooted zip from customized GR from Xperifirm, since I live in Greece.
I am not sharing the zip though, because of the stupid icon remaining in the app drawer. Maybe I will revert to kitkat again, root it and try once again.
thx 4 fast answer
thanks alot guys i was able 2 make a pre rooted flashble fie and i flash'd it and works fine but the thing i wanana do right now is getting xposed some how to work on 5.1.1
Hi all,
I am using XT1643 indian version. I have successfully rooted it using TWRP recovery. However, I haven't changed the rom. Today, it is showing OTA update of security fixes. Should I update it or is there any particular method for updating or should I ignore the update.
Thanks.

flash stock recovery and then update
FlashFire
or Just use Flashfire A handy Application for updating rooted phone. but remember one thing always keep backup and stock rom file to your pc if something goes wrong you can easily re flash your stock rom.
Both options doesn't work.
With FlashFire, it is impossible to find the update file, and with stock recovery, its gives an error when updating
If FlashFire doesn't work, you should first unroot your device, uninstall xposed if you already installed it, also remember to use stock kernal after that.. flash stock recovery than update via ota. Let us update what happen
Edit :- I tried my self
1. unistalled xposed
2. un rooted
3. wiped all data, dalvik cache, and other stuf..exclude system
4. rebooted
5. flashed stock recovery
6. reboot again
7. download ota
8. device reboot again in stock recovery
9. And failed to update
10. So we cant update our phone unless new updated stock images available...
