Do a backup and reroot

Have to reroot using PC though? Or is there a way to do it on my phone since it was previously rooted and I have TWRP. Etc.

First after the update you need to install TWRP (with a pc) use the nexus toolkit and download SuperSU v1.51update to you phone and flash it with TWRP

Yeah you see when you update via OTA it will flash the newer version of the recovery.
You can unlock its screen via volume up and power.
As suggested try using a Toolkit to do it but if that fails then go to the bootloader and flash it manually.

I was looking to get stock recovery back onto the S4. I know I can Odin back to stock but being that my phone is already set up it would be nice to just flash stock back and be happy

I'd you're wanting to remain rooted, then you will need a custom recovery.

Every rot method I've seen requires installing a custom recovery. Either twrp or cwm.

It's possible to extract the stock recovery from the Odin image and flash it independently. Check it out in this post. Be warned that it's only for AT&T S4's and it's possible to brick your device pretty badly if you flash the recovery to the wrong place.

yes, you will have to use the odin, and then root again. unless you're running a custom rom, then you will have to full wipe your device.

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.

Root issues on android 4.3

So I updated my nexus 4 using a clean factory image and applied the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip root and everything worked fine AFAIK but after updating to the latest SU and SuperSU app I can't restore my apps from TWRP backup using titanium. It just didn't decompress the .Img data file, showing a blank list as soon as I selected the backup. Checked back reinstalling the zip file and worked back again. It's a bit weird as you don't need root to decompress an .img file.
What other root issues have you encountered on 4.3? What could have caused my problem?
U have to flash the latest supersu zip in recovery.
Hit thanks if I helped.

I selected the CWM/TWRP method to update SU. I imagine it's the same.

If that method doesn't work then you have to do it manually by flashing SuperSU 1.51 which fixes the restore issue on TB.

Just got the update too here in UK.
I am rooted with twrp recovery. Can I just install this then re-root ? Or will twrp fail to install it. I have no access to my pc to go back to stock first.
Cheers.

I'm running the Flashed official 4.4 update with the stock kernel and the 4.4 boot loader with TWRP recovery... Would it be safe for me to perform the OTA?

I lost root and TWRP. WugFresh Toolkit brought it all back. Though, could be just a random event, but when it was suppose to boot to the bootloader the second time, it didn't. Had to start the process over. Worked fine after that.

Update guessing is the ota? You can use flashify app from play store to flash either TWRP recovery 2.6.3.2 that is a IMG. Or 2.6.3.3. That's a zip file .....

I just read in another thread that custom recoveries cannot yet be flashed on the latest OTA. You have to revert back in order to have a custom recovery. According to this thread.
