Probably a 99 percent chance you lose root. Sadly.

Any chance it will damage my phone? And can I just realised root again? Using the Nexus 4 auto root?
Thanks for your help

Why not going unroot before updating?

There's just the chance of bricking your device, just like everytime you are rooting it or flashing something.
Rooting it again shouldn't be a problem.
Bricking is easily fixed by flashing a new rom?

Yes, this is what I always do. It's the safest bet.

Hello everyone,
I'm running slim bean (i9023) for the time being but i need to return to stock as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, i don't have access to any computer system so i can't flash stock images...
If anyone is running stock rom, would you be kind enough to make a cwm backup and upload so that i can restore it here... If anyone does, please make sure it's suitable for i9023... Thanks guys... Your help is much needed and appreciated!

It's very usable as a daily driver, pretty stable, a bit faster, but not as customizable yet.. Make a nandroid backup and test it out, if it isn't what you like, you can reboot your nandroid..

bottom line, if she is on the latest ota there is no root method available unless the bootloader is unlocked which if not already unlocked on said ota, cant be unlocked.
She had never updated it..I don't know crap about her phone or Verizon do they automatically update?

From what I've been reading you can root but I'm not sure if you can root once your on 4.3. Custom roms aren't currently available once you take the OTA or there is a good possibility you can hard brick your phone

Yep I know that. Never been a fan of flashing ROMs anyway. I'm fine with stock rooted. It runs better and I get amazing battery life with the zerolemon

I followed the steps and was able to get root on 4.3 just fine as well. Thanks to everyone for helping me with that.
I do have a question....it might very well be a dumb question but I'm asking anyway,
I've installed Titanium backup and I have the update.zip that I created prior to reverting to stock and then taking the OTA. From what I understand I can't use custom recovery, which was the only way I knew how to flash that update.zip to restore my apps+data. So, how do I flash this update.zip with root on 4.3? Is this still possible?
Thanks again to all for the help.
Saferoot worked for me (its a method designed for galaxy s4). Although I wouldn't recommend it. It may or may not have been the cause of a hard brick for me, but I tried unlocking the bootloader after using it, which is probably what threw it.

No. Once you took the ota you lost the ability to flash other ROMs. Unless one of the Dev's cracks the lock bootloader or finds a way around.
