BTW i managed to upgrade from 4.2.1 rooted with custom kernel to 4.2.2 by doing this:

1. Use Voodoo OTA Rootkeper to backup your root and temporarily unroot.
2. Revert back to stock kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34254473
3. Revert to original power.grouper.so, extract system.img from google's 4.2.1 full 200mb+ original firmware and extract using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921399. It's in /system/vendor/lib/hw
4. Get the new 4.2.2 update: http://android.clients.google.com/packages...0D.6ece895e.zip
5. Flash with custom recovery (I used TWRP at the time)
6. Reboot. Use voodoo ota rootkeeper to restore backup SU to get back root.
7. Flash TWRP or CWM using fastboot mode or you can use the Nexus 7 toolkit via menu option 11 (just choose 4.2.1 when prompted with firmware version, don't worry, option 11 will work with 4.2.2 too)

Done smile.gif

If we update via ota,then our root will gone and no root cannot use supersu

That's the point i mention in no 6 - use voodoo ota rootkeeper to restore the supersu which is root...you have to backup first using the same app before you update, then restore it using the same app after update to 4.2.2...

Come on, do read his posts properly before asking
Of course you can backup your root using rootkeeper
Even you lose root is no big deal. Just use nexus toolkit and root it again but choose 4.2.1 since software is not updated
And dont ask again whether it can be done. Of course it can be done . I just did it for my friend lastnight

Don't.

Make sure you are on stock rom 4.2.1 with stock kernel + rooted. Use ota root keeper and then put the update zip in your Nexus 7 and flash the zip to update to 4.2.2.

The update zip is only a update file not a full rom . So you must be on 4.2.1 stock first

As others said, all you need to do is follow my instructions provided you are on stock 4.2.1 rooted..if you're on custom ROM my instructions won't work for obvious reasons.

oh well.. you should have rooted it first in 4.2.1 and use ota rootkeeper to keep your root when you update to 4.2.2

otherwise watch out for updates in this thread for v1.63 to release. WugFresh is working on 1 click root for 4.2.2.

edited. give out wrong link.

You can use Nexus7 toolkit but choose 4.2.1 as software is not updated yet. Guaranteed it will work without any issues

I never faced such issues in my previous aokp or custom ROMs
It is a standard rule not necessary to wipe data if upgrading from same developer in any android phone
However presence of crack pirated apps often caused strange issues. Check your apps n don't put blame on straightforward proven procedures
