[Q] Updating ROM without losing root - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did anyone manage to maintain root after upgrading to Android 4.4? If so, how? On what partition does our SU and recovery reside? I ask this because I can't find the answer and I can't save my preferences in PhilZ recovery either.
It really is an annoying process to reroot this phone.

Temp root

Is it possible to temporarily root the device without applying a custom kernel? I'm having 4.1.2 woes so I want to factory reset but backup data first. Can it be done?
If not, would rooting prevent me from getting new ota updates? Thanks!

[Q] cannot mount internal sdcard

Hi, I have finally just rooted my note 2 and I was trying to flash Jedi X but everytime I'm in download mode it says that is cannot mount the internal sdcard. This probably has an easy solution but idk it since I'm a noob so can someone help me out please?
You need to be in recovery to flash roms not download mode

What steps did you take before you got that error?

All I did was root using odin than download jedi onto my device then I booted into recovery mode and it gave me the error when I tried to install
Did you ever boot the phone after you rooted it? And you should really make a nandroid before you flash any roms

Its not just saving the data. You really should keep a backup of your devices stock firmware and a nandroid will do that for you
ahh ok but what can I do now to fix my current problam
lol I think I figured it out. My phone was encrypted which did not allow cwm to access my drives.
Edit:...solved
