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.

I have not lost root anytime I did an OTA update. If you have made system file changes though OTA won't work.

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

I've done these exact steps a dozen times now and everything is working fine.
If you want to unlock your bootloader (for flashing AOSP roms), don't forget to backup your TA partition first! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598)

Does unlocking my boot loader procedure wipe my phone? (data partition, internal sdcard partition, etc?)

If u unlock your bootloader the zl then u will lose ur mobile bravia engine... And also if u flash a custom Rom will wipe your data... Unlocking bootloader doesn't wipe ur data..

I hadn't realized the bravia engine would go away as well... I've rooted... and basically done what I really needed to do thus far to it... I'm just exploring the other options... assuming my wife wants to use it as her daily phone, I won't be messing with it much after the initial setup anyway.
i root my xperia with KINGO ROOT, simple and fast
plug your device, enable usb debugging and click root.. works fine in .2.67!!

Well as per recent info, it tracks many info from the phone while rooting as in IMEI number, some personal info etc. so it still being reviewed, unless its confirmed to be safe its better not to use Kingo Root.

i used kingo to install CWM and use the cm.. now im using a CM with a totally different root file.. then in that case, i would have no problems with this privacy thing?

Unlocking boot loader completely wipes your data including internal storage. Make sure yo back up before you try..

Hi guys!
I got a C1904 earlier this month and one of the first things I did is root it and backup the TA partition. I dont remember the exact software version though I think it might have been some 15.1.A.XX. So after a 90MB OTA update to latest 15.1.C.2.8, I take a TA backup again. This time I get a different TA..img (different checksums). I wanted to know if this is normal. Also note that I didn't do anything root/bootloader related on the phone (except maybe install Titanium Backup and get rid of some bloat).
Learned advice is greatly appreciated.

Yup and ya ways do a fresh TA Partition backup after every firmware update. That shirtens the chances 0f having problem in relocking bootloader.
One more thing.
Every time a file us rebuilt it will have a different checksum.
So do not be concerned about that.

I bought a Z1c recently, and it came with the 14.2.A.1.114 build. I wanted to update to Kit Kat, but nor the PC companion, nor the OTA app and not even de SUS cam find the update, they all say my phone is fully updated.
Does anyone know the reason for this?
Does updating with the flashtool void warranty or anything of the sort?
Can I avoid flashing the userdata if I update with the flashtool to not wipe my memory?
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
No one has an answer?
Is your phone branded and what excacly ver have you? Write your model like for example d5503. You can always download firmware from xda and flash with flashtool its very simple
Do backup your internal memory to pc etc and firstly try flash without wipe. The worst thing that can be is bootloop. If your phone stuck on bootloop you need flash again firmware with full wipe. After that everything will be ok

Well, What if I only want CWM/TWRP recovery for now? unlocking bootloader felt safer for Xplay and xperia neo L ( 2011-12 devices ) .... but I dont wish to unlock bootloader just yet... I guess the OP just wanted a way to have Nandroid backup ability, if something went wrong while using say... xposed modules, or other root apps, or tweaking the build.prop ... so is it possible to get CWM/TWRP on stock ROM and Kernel ?

Thanks man.... Really appreciate. Wonder why I couldn't find it when it was right there in front of me... I already had one bootloop, and without a recovery I had reflash the ftf and lose all my stuff.. But NEVER AGAIN!
