Yes there is. However you need to unlock your bootloader for this.

However for unlocking bootloader you need to create a backup of the TA partition and this requires root.
So there is an loop in this issue.......

What some users do:
- Downgrade back to 4.1.2 (see my tutorial about Flashing with Flashtool)
- Root it
- Backup TA
- Unlock bootloader/Install CWM
- Install custom 4.3 rom with root

Those who do not want to unlock bootloader are waiting for @DooMLoRD to release an exploit for official firmware JB 4.3(12.1.A.0.266).
I am one of them.
