Yes.
Flash/Upgrade will remove rooting
I had Rooted Android 4.0 on my Xperia Ion and flashed Android 4.1.2 Firmware. It removed the Root access.
Am not sure If I've upgraded via SUS/PC Companion still I get root access.
Anyways you can flash 4.1.2 firmware and root it with DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit.zip (Search in this site) :victory:

Good morning friends!
I have a xperia s with Locked Bootloader, official android 4.0.4/ 6.1.A.2.55, rooted through this process:

With CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756346
And some tweks.
I already knew that Sony did upgrade to Android 4.1 JB, but my sony companion keeps telling me that I have the updated system.
What can I do to get the latest version?
I have to do the factory reset?
Is there another way to get the latest update?
Will I lose root and CWM?
Just flash this in recovery. But for now you will lose recovery after

Hello guys,
Just have a quick question I am on stock sony android 4.2.2 rooted with a locked bootloader,
I was wondering now that 4.3 is out and I use flash tool to flash the new 4.3 would that cause any issues? I know I would lose my root (is there any way to save it) or can i just flash the new update with no issues.

If you flash the FTF using flashtool it will wipe the phone completely and obviously root will be gone. AFAIK the only way to root 4.3 right now is with an unlocked bootloader. You may want to try to update without wiping, it might preserve root. The update still hasn't rolled for the C6506 so I'm unable to try anything.
Hi,
I have ZL 6506 with stock generic US 10.3.1.A.2.67 rooted using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33 option 0.
I tried upgrade to 10.4.B.0.569 OTA but it failed. When I don't root, the upgrade is successful.
Is anyone else having the same problem? Is there someone have upgrade to 10.4.B.0.569 OTA and kept root?
Thanks
Yes I couldn't OTA either.. didn't know why.
I guess it might be that.

it differs from phone to phone n firmware to firmware are you talking about 6502/3 with 4.3?bcoz i couldnt update rooted xperia m either
OTA upgrade worked on previous versions like .244 and .67. I kept root when upgrading via OTA but no luck on thi .569 4.3.
Ok so it wasn't just me..
Yep I used OTA every update since 1st firmware. Retained root everytime.

I've also been doing an OTA up until now, but this update just appeared two days ago and I can't get it to apply. in the past I would just relock the bootloader and the OTA worked. Doesn't seem to this time.
Has anyone been able to install .569 via OTA from a rooted device? And did you retain root?
If so, did you do anything special to make it work?
Note I'm asking OTA, not flash.

now if i want my root back, i have to downgrade root it and flash it again through flash tools....
too bad there not many devs focussing in this phone. in argentina is pretty new. but for other countries, is an old phone and with not much succes....too bad
Hi everybody. I've been looking for what should i do, now that the 4.4.4 rolled out, to update my phone without losing the root access. I'm in 4.3 currently, and i did read that been on .283, you can obtain root access by flashing the .230 kernel, rooting, and then installing the .283 kernel again. But my problem with this, is that i don't know exactly what to do to get .283. I have a C6506 generic usa, so i should have the .283 update available via OTA and via PCC, but i'd prefer using OTA (since my PC have some issue i have to fix first), so i guess .283 will appear in the update center after i get to .230.
So, there exist some problem doing this(updating 4.3->4.4.2->4.4.4 via OTA)? Will it crash or anything similar :silly:?
Thanks in advance!
Yeah you have to update to 4.4.2 first for 4.4.4 to appear, I just did the same update line 4.3>4.4.2>4.4 but I went back to 4.3 lol not really liking 4.4.4.
I see...but what about root? You was rooted on 4.3 and then you updated through OTA to 4.4.4? So there is not risk doing this?

I was rooted on 4.3. I just used PC companion to 4.4.4. Didn't lose any data.
Then just rerooted 4.4.4.

edit: Oh.
So does that mean that i can update from 4.3 to 4.4 without any problems, even if i am rooted?
That's great news, thank you!
