I am having some issues with an AOSP 4.3 rom. I would like to stay on 4.3 but with the complete stock rom directly from Google. Is it possible to have root on the ota stock 4.3 rom? I would rather be back on 4.2.2 stock/rooted than rooted 4.3 with too many glitches
Due to some security changes in 4.3 root won't survive an OTA. You'll need the stock recovery to update via OTA. Subsequently, you'll need a custom recovery to flash the latest version of SuperSU and have root again.
What's your current state?

I'm on a rooted 4.3 AOSP ROM with TWRP 2.6.0.0. Did a regular wipe while I was 4.2.2 before I flashed. Can you flash a custom recovery on unrooted ota 4.3?

Yes, you can.
Did you also flash the latest bootloader and radio? That's important, specially the radio (to avoid compatibilities issues with ROMs).

So theoretically if I revert to stock 4.2.2 I can update to the OTA, then flash a custom recovery (I assume I can do that via the toolkit?), then flash the root file, I'll be good? Do I need to relock my bootloader?

I'm not sure if these zip files are flashable, though.
I'd strongly suggest you to download Google's Factory Images from:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
And extract both from there to be safe (bootloader and radio images).
You won't be able to flash these images from TWRP. In this case, you'll need to use fastboot commands to flash them (but it will be safer, in my opinion).
If you're not familiar with fastboot command lines and don't have the Android ADT Bundle either please let me know, I can walk you through.
[EDIT] I found another link for the radio (a.k.a. baseband) and bootloader. Here it is:

I'm 100% sure these are proper versions but since they're images you'll have to flash them via fastboot.

I kinda wanna revert to 4.2.2 and OTA update to 4.3 so I can be 100% stock. I don't know if I can trust the dev who's making this AOSP ROM. Does my bootloader need to be locked to update?
bootloader will need to be unlocked. thats easy, you dont need a toolkit, you wont learn anything that way. you will need to install fastboot to your computer. you boot into your bootloader, connect to your computer via usb, start fastboot, open a command window, type.. fastboot devices(this is to check if fastboot sees your device), then type.. fastboot oem unlock(then look at your n4 screen to press yes or no). this will unlock your bootloader. download your recovery to your computer, stick it into the same folder as fastboot(do this before you start), then type in the command window.. fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img(this will flash your custom recovery). then, in the bootloader, press your volume keys to scroll to the word recovery, press your power button to boot into recovery.

No, you don't need a locked bootloader to update via OTA.
Out of curiosity, how are you going to revert to 4.2.2 if you've never used fastboot command lines? You're in an AOSP 4.3 ROM right now, with 4.2.2 bootloader and radio. Do you have a flashable 4.2.2? That's the only way I can see it happen (unless I'm missing something which is probable).

I'd never suggest any toolkit because you won't learn anything from it. I'm not sure how's current state of toolkits so I can't comment on their proper functioning with 4.3.

Yes, it is. You can pretty much flash any baseband on stock or ROMs. The question is, is it worth it? It may work flawlessly but it could also cause issues. I'd do it but I'd keep my eyes on it if something goes wrong all of a sudden.

I want to root my N7 directly from Linux, but I don't want to replace recovery with CWM. I like CWM on my phone, but I understand it won't allow OTA stock upgrades which I expect will be important for a while on the N7.
I've already unlocked the bootloader, but I haven't seen any instructions for rooting from Linux without replacing the standard recovery with CWM.
Can't you just flash CWM, root, and then reflash stock recovery?

There won't be any OTA that is not quickly (if not before it is released) will be available is a flashable download on XDA and other forums.

You can as already posted, reflash the stock recovery, but again, whats the point.

i know the flash images for 4.3 are available now but wouldnt it be easier to wait for the OTA update? and the process will be simpler? or am i missing something? Also if I have a custom kernel but stock rom all I need to do for the OTA update is go back to stock kernel correct?

You will need to be 100% stock to get the OTA the normal way, otherwise you'll have to flash it manually via adb sideload or a custom recovery

so you mean like No custom roms, custom kernels or root apps? or root or unlock bootloader?
100% stock means exactly that. You can leave the bootloader unlocked but the main system itself has to be exactly how it was brand new as the OTA patches the original files. If they're not there the OTA will fail

If i upgrade to 4.3 with the factory image am i still rooted? Can i still use my apps that require root lets says auto hide soft keys?
You can get OTA update even when you have root (assuming you haven't touched any system files), but you will lose root after the update. It's pretty easy to re-root though.

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?

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.

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
http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/TWRP2710-RAZR_M-KITKAT.img
Hey!
I've been flashing ROMs since the Nexus 5 and I actually just wondered how do you pals/gals flash the bootloader and radio whenever a update on the ROM gets available?
As far as I know, developers do not include the Radio and Bootloader when they update their ROMs and those need to be either flashed manually.
Once example is - as of the moment, Google just posted a new build "MMB29P" which has a new BL and Radio.
Anyone knows a tip on how to do this a smoother way?
smoother?
Just download it and flash it.
Download the factory image here
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Extract the tgz file once it's finished downloading. You will see the bootloader and radio images along with a zip that includes the rest of the stock files.
I assume since you know how to flash roms, you'll already know about fastboot. You just boot into the bootloader and use fastboot to flash the new bootloader and radio.

Thanks for this! I will give it a try once PureNexus or Chroma provides an updated ROM.
Can anyone confirm if they can be done on the device, using flashify or something similar.
I'm on Linux here at work, and i'd rather not go through the pain by installing adb and the tools I have at home - but I want to be on the latest bootloader. As I spend most of my time on my Linux machine at work, it would be easy enough if I could find a way to do it on linux with ease.
Just to clarify,
If you are on a Custom ROM/Cyanogenmod 13 and a Radio/Baseband/Vendor update comes out can you flash these updates without factory reset or flashing back to stock. That's without?
And is Radio=Baseband=Vendor all the same thing just different brands names naming scheme.

I agree with the previous poster, you're making it much harder than it needs to be. All you need to do is flash the factory images to update. While you're flashing back to stock you just flash the updated build instead, that's it. Plus even if you did for whatever reason want to take the OTA there's no need to lock the bootloader.

Can the update be flashed in TWRP without disturbing Magisk or Arter's kernel? I've grabbed the update zip via a link I found by generating a bug report in the developer options and searching for "System_Update". I'm just wondering if it's safe to flash over everything.
Don't really need to relock bootloader and such, Just flash Stock recovery and the update will go through Smoothly, and then you can Reflash your twrp/magisk.

I flashed f2fs, wondering if that's why I can't flash update even after flashing stock kernel? ?
Peace

here's magisk patched version
to flash arter kernel you have to flash it via zip not fastboot so flash it first via fastboot and flash it again but in twrp as zip
So what I see is you can update without reloacking your bootloader by... (I'm asking if this is right)
1. Fastboot flash stock boot.img
2. Update normally
3. Reflash magisk, your custom kernel and what not.
Correct?
I've tried flashing back to stock kernel but it didn't work for me.
I usually perform the "reset to factory" task from the razer images (properly commenting the line that erases userdata)
After that you just are with original stock and you can update via OTA as usual.
