I just clicked "Install" (not using TWRP), and it worked. But you'll have to reinstall twrp and root after the update.

I'm sorry I did not say it right :/ I meant:
- I had twrp installed
- I received a notification from Google about the update
- I just clicked on "apply" or "install" (directly from Android)
- the update installed iitself, then it rebooted the device
- I lost twrp and root
- I reinstalled twrp and root
=> everything was OK.
Maybe you can try with Nexus Root Toolkit to uninstall twrp, then apply the update, and reinstall twrp+root

When I try to install it reboots and sends me to twrp I guess since I'm encrypted I have to put in password but when I do it seems like its doing its installing but it isn't it guess I'm gonna have to find a workaround

[Q] Lost root

Ok so the story goes like this:
I have stockorama V2
Stock kernel
I was trying to install busybox with busybox installer from the play store, but it said I didn't have root access
So I went to superSU and did the uninstall from the app itself
Rebooted, installed superSU from play store, it told me to update su binary. Then it failed.
when I try to open SuperSU it says that "I don't have su binary... ...that's a problem" and then closes the app
I think I lost root, but I was wondering is there anyway to get it back without a PC.
I still got twrp recovery so I can still flash stuff

You can flash SuperSU via recovery using the link in my signature. Stockorama includes busybox. Don't install it.

That's weird.
You did flash in recovery correct? Cwm or twrp? What version?
Not sure if its any different than Aerowinders, but you can try SuperSU linked in my sig. Or use Superuser, you should find both there.

Flash it in twrp 2.5 I think, did it 2 times... same thing
Its weird because I still get a toast (when I bootup) that lightflow gets superuser permisions; but when I open Titaniumbkp it gets stuck on a message "asking for root rights"
Btw superSU is as a system app so I can't uninstall before flashing the supersu.zip you guys gave me.

My zip came directly from Chainfire's website, I just changed the name.
You don't uninstall, just flash over the old one. And wipe the data for it also.

Nothing... I get the same message.
Flashed zip in twrp, wiped cache and dalvik, fix permissions, reboot.
Open supersu, and get the same message
I'm juat thinking reflash the rom the thing is I wanted to backup app+data with Titanium but no root. So any suggestion to a backup app that backups data without root...

Well, make a nandroid backup just in case. I dont suggest using it as it may just bring back the problem. But you will at least have everything backed up if you need it later.
Aside from that, you can use the recoveries built in file manager. Also you could boot into recovery and then try to ADB pull what ever you need.
But I would reflash your rom. You only need to wipe dalvik if it is the same rom you are using now. But if that doesnt fix it you will need to do a factory reset at that point.

I updated to 4.3 on the note 2 via CyanogenMod. It appears I have lost root access. W

Pls explain what do you mean "no CWM anymore"?
Do you see the stock recovery?
You still could flash CWM or TWRP (another recovery, my favorite I'd say) from ODIN. You need a PC with Windows XP/7/8 and Samsung USB drivers installed to do it. Instructions are available in Q&A.
I initially had cwm installed and my root was working fine.
After I got the 4.3 update via CyanogenMod I updated my phone.
It went well. But I realized that i had lost my root options so whenever I opened super su it said that there's no binary installed and that I'll have to re root again.
So I was like maybe I should just root it again with the method I used first too root my phone ( when it was running on stock ). So I used the same Odin and rooted it. Although it said it was successful the root was still unavailable.
Well I lost interest in that and I got a another update from cm and when I tried to install it I couldnt. My cwm had gone. I tried re installing it with ROM manager but it wouldn't work... I don't know what to do.

Try using wugfresh's tool to update it to the latest.
Goo has given me problems in the past, took a few downloads before it would actually install.
I figured it out. Once I changed the too.I'm download path to legacy from "0" everything was fine.

I had the exact same problem where GooManager wouldn't update TWRP. What I did was to take the Nexus Toolkit for Mac and changed the script file and just replaced the .img file.
Details here: http://www.hagensieker.com/styled-4/index.html
It worked like a champ but again this is a Mac solution. Also the Windows Nexus Root Toolkit will download and install 2.6.3..0 for you.

[Q] (!) Possible Brick ?

Hey guys , here is my problem...
Im passing my GSM Gnex to my brother , so I wiped everything ( *including format data using ) latest TWRP recovery.
Later , when I tried to reboot , it says no OS installed and my device doesnt appear to be rooted + no SuperSU installed.
So , I boot up to my bootloader with USB cable connected to my phone , no driver was installed or what-so-ever.
Can anyone help me ? Searched through the forum but cant find an answer which satisfy me.
Thanks in advance.
*Note : I have a Nandroid Gnex backup ( running 4.4.2 ROM ) on my computer.
Are you able to boot into Recovery?
Or restore the backup or use fastboot to flash Factory image (you seem to have a driver problem)

Just use the Toolkit and flash the latest factory image. or you can use adb sideload option in TWRP and sideload the zip files of a rom or your backup.

If you're bootloader is unlocked try flashing the vendor.img with fastboot. If it isn't and you have usb debugging enabled try sideloading the ota.

HI,
Is this action will reset or delete my phone (data....etc)?

Flashing the vendor image or the ota will not delete any data.

Hi,
I don't remember if this function is enable, and it's not rooted (I think)
What Google app did you delete? You pretty much have to be rooted to do any serious damage. Anyway, Google 15 second adb xda and install that. You have a Windows pc, right?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe try a factory reset, if indeed the device is NOT rooted or has the bootloader unlocked. I know his will wipe the data, however it is a choice if all else should fail.
I did this a long time ago disabling the google launcher and the phone crashes, and the only way i got it fixed was to just do a dirty flash of the rom. That was on an HTC s-ff and rooted through.

Thanks, but i don't want to lose the data ...that's way i don't want to perform factory reset
Ok, and you have a usb cable from the pc to your device? Google nexus factory image. When you get to the site, at the upper left choose the ota. Then go down to the 5x and download the latest ota. Note what directory it downloads to. Then open that directory and boot your device into the bootloader and then go to recovery. Connect your usb cable. In the directory where the ota is downloaded go to an open area and shift + right click. It should open a dialog box where you can open a command window. In recovery on your device you should see where you can load a file with adb. Then in the command window on the pc type. adb sideload ota.zip. Where ota.zip is the full name of the file you downloaded.

Before i continue to perform these steps - as you say,
I just want to make sure:
1. Is all the data on the phone will remain ? photo, whatsapp, apn, apps etc... ?
2. What does the ota.zip file do ?
Thanks again
It will not delete anything on the phone. The ota is an "over the air" update. It's the same thing that updates your system when Google pushes an update to your phone. It should replace the file you deleted.

Ok,
1. My phone is connected to my pc
2. I entered to Recovery mode
3. I changed the file to OTA.zip
Now to perform:
adb sideload ota.zip ?
Yep
