If you have a stock 4.2.2 with root and clockwork mod recovery, it can be updated to 4.3, you will keep CWM recovery but lose root so here's what I did.

You need :

- Nexus 4

- 4.2.2 firmware (JDQ39)

- root with superSU

- Clockwork Mod Recovery

Download update JWR66V from JDQ39

Copy the zip file in the folder of your choice.

Shut down the Nexus 4

Boot into CWM Recovery : hold Volume Down and press Power, in the menu with the green "Start" choose "Recovery mode" with the volume and select with power, it will reboot in CWM Recovery

Then in CWM Recovery :

- Install Zip

- Choose zip from sdcard

- 0/

- go in the folder you copied the update and select it

- select Yes and wait

- go back and reboot

- on reboot it will ask to keep recovery and root, say Yes both. But saying no to keep root won't keep root...

So after a long reboot, the Nexus 4 is updated to 4.3, CWM recovery still here but no root binary.

Download the file on this link from SuperSU creator : Chainfire.

Flash it the same way as the update but when it will ask for keeping recovery, say No.

After reboot, you now have a Nexus 4 with 4.3 (JWR66V), root and CWM recovery.

On Google Play, SuperSU is updated, currently version 1.44. When launching SuperSU, it will ask to update SU Binary, choose to update normally.

This should work with TWRP but I don't have it.

I hope this will help.
[Nexus 4 General] ohhdavid:
I want to do a fresh install using the factory images for 4.3 (bootloader, radio, recovery etc)

Once I do that, can I just reinstall CWM then SuperSu to root just like I did using 4.2?
[Nexus 4 General] jboogie3:
just use the nexus4 tool kit and use the factory images. Simple and quick
[Nexus 4 General] ohhdavid:
I'll look into it, however, I usually prefer to do as close to stock install as possible with bare minimum 3rd party modification which is why I usually install factory images and then flash Su through cwm

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] jboogie3:
the toolkit just fastboot flashes the images for you... thats complete stock. then you can flash a custom recovery, then install su.
[Nexus 4 General] nickslg:
Thanks to the OP :thumbup: works a treat
[Nexus 4 General] St1ck33:
Awesome thanks, will try this later.
[Nexus 4 General] clusterchuck:
does this method erase everything on your phone?
[Nexus 4 General] Le_Zouave:
No, nothing is erased and it even keep the custom recovery.

The first part is what I used to update to 4.2.2 and keep root and custom recovery. But with 4.3 update, root method seems to have changed, that's why I wrote this post.

i got an error when attempting to install in cwm, something regarding a no file_context.

edit: it says error /sdcard/0/ ebc... (status 7)
[Nexus 4 General] HSuke:
Worked fine for me

Thanks! This worked perfectly for me. Haven't run into any trouble yet.
[Nexus 4 General] GobyLeung:
I missed "Flash it the same way as the update but when it will ask for keeping recovery, say No" before, now it works fine on my N4
[Nexus 4 General] rickbuck:
Works fine on TWRP. Updater asks if we want to save root. I said, No. Nothing is asked or said about recovery but recovery (TWRP) is retained. After the update, I went back to recovery and flashed the recent 1.43 update from Chainfire. All went well. Soon thereafter, I was notified that SuperSU is now at version 1.44.

Everything is smooth so far.... One app that works with root is goofy now, but other than that, all is well.
[Nexus 4 General] Le_Zouave:
Can someone tell me if using the first part of my method to keep the recovery (so not flashing Chainfire file) and updating to SuperSU 1.44 on google play is enough to get back root?

In my case I updated to SuperSU 1.44 and when I launched it, that asked me to update SU binary and choose between normal or CWM/TRWP method, I choose normal and it worked.

clusterchuck, I get that error too but it didn't blocked and all went fine. Is it a blocking error?
[Nexus 4 General] clusterchuck:
as far as the "no context", i dont think its a blocking error, because once I got the update working, it still has that error message on there. But it turned out my problem was that I deleted some google apps (google plus, earth, etc), and i had completely forget about that. So i ended up having to flash the stock 4.2.2 again then installing 4.3 for it to all go smoothly.
[Nexus 4 General] fruity101079:
Great , thanks for the post, I will check that this weekend.

Update error

I did some previous flashing with Google Edition camera apk's and whatnot but I believe I should have the stock camera/GoogleGallery.apk.

I perform the steps and it gives me a Status 7 error, with "GoogleGallery.apk" somewhere in there. So I flash the stock 4.2.2 google apps and try again, this time it gives me a BrowserProviderProxy.apk error, Status 7 as well.

Any help on this?
[Nexus 4 General] spicediablo:
Perhaps your system apps have been modified before or your kernel have been flashed before. Safest method will be to use fastboot to upgrade.
[Nexus 4 General] californicated:
Is it also working when coming from a custom kernel (e.g. franco)?
[Nexus 4 General] Le_Zouave:
You will get stock kernel after the update and it's not garanteed that your custom kernel will work on 4.3
[Nexus 4 General] bbdcbb:
After successful procedure, is there any way to stop CWM asking "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" when exiting recovery. It persists no matter if I choose No/Yes.
[Nexus 4 General] Automatik96:
I have already updated SU to 1.44 with TWRP, will i have problems ,after the update to 4.3, with root?
[Nexus 4 General] kmandel:
I'm on stock 4.2.1 + root + CWM. Will this work or do I have to go to 4.2.2 first?

There actually has been a 4.2.2 OTA that was auto downloaded and I never installed since I wanted to test LTE without dealing with the 4.2.2 issues.

Now that 4.2.3 is out and there is a hybrid radio that is reported to work, I'm willing to go down that route. But I guess the first step is to get a rooted 4.2.3 +CWM.
[Nexus 4 General] nexuses:
thank you for sharing us these tips ..

for me, when i do these steps it's show me issue as you in the attachments.

so why do you think?

by the way.. there are another post about this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2145848

but yours is better :good: becouse it keeps SU :D
​
[Nexus 4 General] Le_Zouave:
You mean 4.3 I think. Anyway the update on the first post is for 4.2.2 to 4.3 so you need to apply 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 first.

If you follow the first part with the right zip (it's somewhere in XDA) you should have 4.2.2 and keep root and cwm, it's updating to 4.3 that get tricky for root. But you modified too much thing, I think you'll get an error if you update.

I think you are not really stock, have you installed a custom kernel, removed gapps or whatever? OTA updates are meant to be installed on stock android, that's why normaly we lose root and custom recovery. But if you have modified beyong root and custom recovery, I don't think it's stock.

Anyway the solution is to start over with a factory image (and lose data).
[Nexus 4 General] nexuses:
I'm pretty sure that my N4 have a stock ROM and all what you said in the main post..! ?

- stock ROM 4.2.2 , root by CWM, as you see in attached screen shot.
[Nexus 4 General] milesxd:
Am having the same problem, any solutions?
[Nexus 4 General] Le_Zouave:
nexuses and milesxd, the error 7 mean that the update can't verify that you are on stock 4.2.2.

For Nexuses it says what file is not good. You could try to get the right version of that file... but I think it could be worse if you are not sure.

The only way is to flash a factory image (and lose all data). No need to flash factory image for 4.2.2 and then do the update, directly flash 4.3
[Nexus 4 General] Automatik96:
All works fine with TWRP. After the update to 4.3 and the reboot, it asked to fix the root. i said no. Then in recovery i flashed the SU
[Nexus 4 General] nexuses:
Thank you for response :)

I was in stock rooted android (see to photo on attachment) , but my problem with ota update was with ( sound.on mod ) or something like that..

today I installed 4.3 manually by n-cry tool kit for N4.

Now my Q about if I have stock kernel and radio or not?View attachment 2147491
[Nexus 4 General] nexuses:
In my case my recovery mod (CWM) still existing after the update. But not working, so I installed it again by N-Cry tool kit and then I flashed the SU.

All that made my N4 have a new android 4.3 rooted with cwm
[Nexus 4 General] kmandel:
Assuming that I can't go straight from 4.2.1 to 4.3 and have to pass through 4.2.2 first, where can I find a 4.2.1->4.2.2 that doesn't lose root and CWM recovery. I've searched XDA with no luck.

The phone has had a downloaded 4.2.2 update offering forever which I never did. I presume that would lose me CWM recovery.
[Nexus 4 General] Automatik96:
If you flash the OTA update you will not lose CWM recovery. and for the root try to install before the update this OTARootKeeper(on the play store) and click "protect root".
[Nexus 4 General] Servaas:
Root is gone for me... how do I get it back now? Whats the easiest way?
[Nexus 4 General] Automatik96:
Do you still have the recovery? If yes, you can flash the SU.zip that you can find in the first page
[Nexus 4 General] Servaas:
If I do that, I tried, SU throws up the following error: "There is no SU binary installed. and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to 4.3 you need to manually reroot - consult the relevant forums for your device!"

Thats you guys! :) But seriously I have no idea what to do now... I was already ansy with upgrading this will make me think twice next time.

EDIT:

Nevermind I was flashing the 1.4.1 version of superSU that was somehow linked somewhere :P
[Nexus 4 General] Le_Zouave:
You mean you flashed an old version of SuperSU instead of the link I provided?
[Nexus 4 General] SovereigN7:
I'm getting this problem too. Anyone else got any idea?
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
Was the TWRP procedure exactly the same steps as it was for CWM as shown by the OP? New to this and don't want to mess things up.
[Nexus 4 General] Automatik96:
I have TWRP. When you flash the OTA it will ask you to fix the root. I said Do not fix and then reboot system. After i went back to the recovery and flash the SU. And for me did work
[Nexus 4 General] voodooline:
That's what I did worked like a charm but good guide op like an alternate way to do things

No luck for me. When I try to flash, TWRP gives me "assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/GooglePinyinIME.apk" and "E: Error executing update binary in zip (zip name).

I tried installing Google Pinyin from the market. And when it still didn't work, I pulled down a copy of it someone had uploaded to XDA and copying it to system/app via root explorer. Still the same result. Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Never mind, someone else with the same problem posted the latest Pinyin IME extracted from the stock ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44024370&highlight=pinyin#post44024370. Copied that to system/app and the update went fine. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Chrisv006:
To everyone else having the "No File_contexts" errors, try flashing to the .48 modem. This allowed me to flash the update with no errors.

You need to flash back to 4.2.2 since 4.3 is just an update from 4.2.2 try nexus toolkit

I faced this error, after many times of trying I installed the 4.3 ROM by n-cry toolkit ( 1-click restoring )
[Nexus 4 General] Hypoxic1:
Is the update to download the same as the OTA that my phone automatically downloaded? The name sure looks the same as the ZIP file in the /system/cache folder. Could I just copy that to /sdcard/downloads (for example) and flash THAT? Or is this file different?

hi, I've tried this way for upgrade my nexus 4 to 4.3, but I get the same "error code 7" I get when upgrading from OTA.

the phone is rooted and unlocked with ToolKit, recovery TWRP.

There are some threads explaining how to flash stock image and I decided to do it as described in here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

I know it sounds like a lot of work to do but once I get it done I will never do it differently. I like to know how things are working and I learned a lot.
[Nexus 4 General] degra:
thanks, but it seems too work for just get an upgrade that my phone already downloaded. if it possible with one-step procedure, like flashing via recovery without losing or wiping data, it worth it, otherwise I will stay on 4.2.2 until something bigger happens :)
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
I used the same method, but with a different app. I also chose not to fix root. Then I installed Koush's just released 4.3 compatible superuser app and now I am rooted without any issues.
[Nexus 4 General] Hypoxic1:
Yes, agreed. What is the point if you're just going to lose all of your data & in-app settings? A monkey can flash & wipe all your stuff.

I have an 8GB N4 & cannot make a nandroid because when it makes it, the storage runs out!

I've been waiting for weeks to see if someone in this thread simply confirms that THIS METHOD DOES NOT WIPE ANY OF YOUR DATA. I know the OP says that, but some confirmation from the many people in here would be much appreciated.
[Nexus 4 General] Automatik96:
You won't lose your data because it's a OTA update. I have done the update and i haven't lost my data. So keep calm and flash ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Hypoxic1:
Thank you for the reply. How does this effect my mods like center clock, battery indicator mod with %, build.prop stuff like "qemu=..." to hide soft keys & such? I suppose some of these will be overwritten or may need 4.3 updating. IDK??

On another note, should I just wait for 4.3.1 for some of the issues that have been reported? If so, I wonder how long it'll take Google to pump out that update considering they've been slowing down on updates...
[Nexus 4 General] Le_Zouave:
There is a new little update : JWR66Y

Only 1.8Mb but this time I got an error 7 too.

So I had to unroot the Nexus 4 (supersu, the app, can unroot), then flash the OTA update

Say yes to keep the custom recovery. In TWRP it may ask to root, say no.

Reboot, verify you are updated and flash supersu 1.51 in CWM recovery or TWRP.
[Nexus 4 General] Andelain:
I flashed the update with the latest touch recovery and it worked fine. I didn't even lose root.

Edit: It seemed to work, I guess it failed too. :(

Edit: A subsequent OTA download worked and I lost root.

Hi,

last month I sended my TF300T to Asus because I had a problem with it. The tablet wouldn't upgrade itself and the sensor for the keyboard stopped working leaving the screen on.

My tablet was unlocked. I knew that there was a risk!

But when the tablet came back fixed, with the system 4.2.1 was happy and felt very lucky.

But now, I'm not that sure.

As the warranty finished shortly after the tablet came back, I said to myself that there was no reason to not unlucked it again.

I went to Asus's web site, downloaded the apk and runned it and:

I get the answer "Unknokn connection error, please try again"

In fact it seem that Asus does not want taht I unlock the boot loader again.

Is there another way..

Thanks...
