Update to 4.3 again?

[wccjester]

I currently have a 2012 Google nexus 7 and recently I had the update to jump to 4.3. I updated and forgot that my device was rooted so I lost all the rooted material. I went through the set up again and finally got it to be running 4.3 rooted. this was a few weeks ago. I just looked now and it is informing me to install 4.3 update. I checked my settings and I am currently running 4.3 already. So how can I make this notification go away?

Install a custom ROM maybe. I'm not really sure how to make the notification go away tho.

Welcome to the forums!
It may be a patch or something as well.

The update notification you're seeing is for the JWR66Y package, which includes security updates. The update should be significantly smaller in size (2MB). The update notification and information look just like the initial 4.3 update, which caught me off-guard as well (and I was aware of the update rollout).

Edit corrected some information. Also, welcome to AC!

I've gone back and corrected my previous reply; I had referred to the 2013 Nexus 7's information rather than that of the 2012 model. The update notification you're seeing is a small security update. As for your root status, you very well may lose root, but the bright side is that it shouldn't take much to re-root after the update if that's the case. I can't say for sure.

It has been known to break root. Due to reflashing stock recovery.

Sent from a SlimROM S3.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I guess I will Commence with the update. I should how ever save my rooted files and stuff so that if I have to root it again it will be easier. Unfortunately I am unaware how to do this successfully and do not know where to start. any advice or is there a step by step way to do this?
