Not 100% but I'm pretty sure you will. Bin4ry's root method doesn't work yet with the .55 firmware

Deny that update, and wait for OTA update, OTA updates doesn't affect root.
It was like that with my old arc, with my wife's xperia S, and its like that with my Ion too.
AW: [Q] Will i lose my root after sony update?
Thank you very much for your help
So i have to wait till Bin4ry will update his root tool so that i can use it with my Sony Xperia S locked bootlader 6.1.A.2.55
if som1 would new if this tool comes out and can root 6.1.A.2.55 i would be very nice if he/she could tell me that
AFAIK the only method to root .55 was just bin4ry method done before updating..
so, you won't loose your root (as far as you don't wipe data/system)

He can't. Sony fixed the exploit he was using which is why it doesn't work on newer firmwares.

SUS will remove root.
The backup & restore app will only put back apps and app data. You can always use flashtools to restore to .50

Right,
1. Nope - not if you dont erase the user data when updating in flashtool, you wont lose it in SEUS
2. Maybe
3. Yes, with the latest zergrush method any version of android 2.3 can be updated
4. Nope it's all the same now (PSXperia now works in 2.3.4)
I wouldnt be worried about all of that though i would be bothered (and still am) about the quietness of xloud (speaker loudness) when updating from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 you wont notice because your on stock rom
So i don't have to worry about bricking my phone or anything like that?
Bricking usually occurs when you unlock you're bootloader and try too over the air update or install a custom ROM and mess up halfway through. Using the update service from Sony or flashtool won't do irreparable damage to the phone. If it does I'll help ya

Yes. What kernel you got to lose that you worry about? Root, yes, you lose.
SEUS is Sony Ericsson Update Service with old name, SUS(Sony Update Service) is new name.

Hello everyone!
I have a Live with Walkman (WT19i) phone with rooted 4.1.B.0.431 firmware.
Last night i tried the OTA (Over the air) update, so my superuser permissions will not be lost.
So my phone downloads the update, restarts and proceeds through the 2 out of 4 steps of the update(box + up arrow image on screen). On the 3rd step(down arrow image on screen) there is a bit loading on the bar and then my phone restarts normally.
After the restart I get the message "Could not install update software. Try again." (or smthing similar)
Any ideas???

I tried this on my dad's Ray. OTA update failed multiple times, until he updated it with PC Companion. Root was lost, ofcourse, but then I just flashed the old kernel, rooted with suitable exploit and flashed the latest kernel again. Nothing was lost on the phone (few apps got installed again, like wisepilot, facebook, facebook inside xperia and some carriers bloatware - took me 10 minutes to remove all that junk).

Some bugs fixed, generally faster, battery lasts longer.
The OTA update fails because of the root, most likely cause you moved from the system some app that's necessary.

Most probably yes, because I also get an error when trying to flash with Flashtool . . .
So do I flash back to .431? hmmm...

Flashtool method is available in this forum, just search for it . There will be detailed method with pictures. Search for stock 6.1.a.2.50 ftf, which is also available in this forum.
In ur case, uncheck wipe user data and wipe app log before flashing. U won't lose any data but you'll lose root and cwm. So u must root again using bin4ry method and reinstall cwm after u flash.
Please note that 6.1.a.2.55 doesn't support bin4ry method. So u have to update to 6.1.a.2.50.
Good luck!

I answered in eXistenZ already (why are you asking this is in different places at once btw, impatient much?), but now I'm on my pc so I can give you a few links. Pc Companion won't be able to install an update on an unlocked bootloader, even if your kernel is stock. You can use EMMA, it's pretty much the same, downloads the latest firmware for your region and installs it (but I think there's no automated backup, so it'll wipe your phone, you need to prepare a backup yourself). You can find EMMA here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/. It's possible that EMMA says the latest available firmware is .200 or .211, but try it anyway because it might install .96. I had this when the JB update was being rolled out, EMMA stated the latest firmware was .50 but it installed .200.
If EMMA doesn't install .96, it's possible this update hasn't rolled out in your region yet. I think you better select the firmware yourself... Why don't you just flash DooMLorD's advanced stock kernel for .96 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302393) and flash the deodexed zip version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425192&highlight)? Or if you just want stock, why don't you flash the ftf?
