Proven 4.3 Root Hack for Nexus 4 and others

Check out Nexus 4: How To Root Android 4.3 - YouTube

I just rooted my N4. Step by step instructions that worked perfect.

Chainfire's SuperSU, in it's current state, is not a 100% stable root solution for 4.3... none exist yet. See my post and information here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...rning-root-users-regarding-android-4-3-a.html

The version used in the video in fact is actually a previous version that had a bug where the CPU usage would max out to 100% sporadically. That's been fixed in his latest version, 1.43 I believe.. however the method he's used to establish root in 4.3 is not inherently stable. Nothing against him - I understand it's a work in progress and for now it may be the only hack to get root access on stock 4.3 and if people NEED root right away on 4.3 this should work alright for the time being, but it is not bug free nor "perfect" yet.

Thanks for the info and heads up. So far so good on my N4 and I just did my N7 as well. I will watch for bugs.
