Will I loose Root when updating via OTA ? - Sony Xperia ZL

Will I loose Root when updating via OTA ? maybe not unless it's the update for 4.3 like it was on my Xperia T that I had just lost this weekend now I got a deal on a Xperia ZL C6506
and now Currently Rooted on 4.1 Build 10.1.A.1.395 with an OTA update available 10.3.A.0.423 not sure what build that is when I got PC companion saying I got an update for Build number 10.4.B.0.569 So I'm assuming that 423 isn't 4.3 but 4.2 but I don't know ?

.423 is Android 4.2, 10.4. is Android 4.3.
You will not lose root for build number updates on same Android version, however you will lose root if you go from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.3.

Firmware Update

Currently on a 4.3 Rom. My question is this. ....if I ota the 4.4.4 t mobile official update, can I still flash 4.3 roms?
You can flash 4.3 but your bootloader will stay 4.4. No biggie. You will notice improvements with 4.4.

Update Stock from 4.3 to 4.4

Hi all,
still got my z1c on Android 4.3, if I install an official update now, will i get android 4.4 or android 5.1?
I don't really want to install 5.1 unless I'd really need it and so far I only had problems with Onedrive on Android 4.3
And I want to keep the Lockscreen Widgets, are they still present on Sony Android on 4.4??
btw If I unlock the bootloader i'll get this DRM **** problem with the camera right?
Or is it possible to root the stock firmware?
Thanks
