I'm not sure about over the air updates. However you can update your phone through PC Companion if it is rooted but the bootloader is NOT unlocked, and you can also flash an ftf onto the phone using flashtool if your phone is rooted even if the bootloader is unlocked.
There is also several methods of rooting 4.3, one of the easiest being towelroot as it is a one click root app for use on your mobile and it has the remount reboot fix enabled so you don't have to worry about that.

In the dialer type *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#SERVICE#*#*) and click on Service Info and the Configuration. Under rooting status you will see a string of text. If it says Bootloader unlock allowed (either yes or no, it doesn't matter) your device has a locked bootloader. If it says Bootloader unlock: Yes then you have an unlocked bootloader.

Not at all, there are many root methods available for 4.3 now. The most effective is towelroot, if you download the most recent version from the website (do this from your phone as it is an apk) you don't even have to run the remount/reboot fixer as it is embedded into the app.
I have rooted my phone XMD its now 4.2 how can I update it to 4.3??

Unlock your bootloader and try all that is write in the forum, because the stock support is the worst, a new firmware like the 6.1.A.2.55 will never arrive to your phone

Actually if you want the newest stock firmware, reinstall PC Companion, choose your language and Singapore as your country, you will get the .2.55 update, 1st check. in your own language.

I know that and that makes even less sense. It has always been possible to download music info with a locked bootloader, unless you unlocked your bootloader and relocked it, but in that case there was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...o working again on ICS with ReLock bootloader.
And now there already is an app that works on both. I'm not the only one saying he's months late...

Firstly, your OP doesn't say anything about not requiring root, so there's no reason to shout at us as if that's an obvious difference.
Secondly, if someone is running stock firmware on a locked bootloader and without rooting, the music downloader will work anyway.
I don't want to troll, but you can't go claiming you invented something when it's really nothing new.

Hello Kaml,
Im not sure if rooting "by unlcking bootloader" is the only option you are considering but you dont need to unlock bootloader to root 4.3.
I rooted my Xperia on 4.3 following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51730927
If you want to unlock bootloader anyway, please, make a backup of the TA partition first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598

Rooting with locked bl is too complex i didnt get it clearly and didn't used these tools before :/
Can someone please explain it to me clearly what to do
Sent from my C1904 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi Kaml.
Yeah, it's a bit confusing when you first go to it. If you dont like the adrenaline/fear/expectation mix, better is to ask someone else to do it for you
You say that's too complicated to root with a locked bootloader. That’s not always true, it’s relative. The post I linked to you is very clear and it’s not complicated at all, but you will need to start from a 4.2.2 rooted ROM, maybe that’s the complicated part for you.
Anyway, I suggest you to confirm if you can unlock your bootloader. Did you checked it already? It may save you time by knowing it beforehand.
To check, go to the dialer and type: *#*#7378423#*#* then go for Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you are able to unlock it. This is from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484622
Read that thread, especially when it says “before unlocking please take backup TA partition from here”. By backing up the TA partition you can restore it later if need and then you have some chance of not losing Sony warranty if you ever need it.
Im not aware of other methods for rooting 4.3 besides the link I posted on my first reply, take a look and you will find other methods (probably).
Anyway, if you are interested in backing up the TA partition, it’s only possible if you have a rooted phone already and that’s kinda of a chicken/egg problem so that’s another motive of seeking for rooting methods without touching the bootloader at first. One way to solve it is to half root your phone, enable USB debugging and Unknown Sources from development menu, then run the script to backup the TA partition.

I was reading on the Sony forums a while back that you can. It was in the support for the Z forum so I don't know if it will work on the M. If the phone is locked to a network (the most common form of bootloader unlock:no) and you unlock it and THEN flash an unbranded firmware the bootloader status will change from no to yes. That post was made by a Sony support person too, but as I said, I have no idea if it would work on the M.

Hello New-Moderr,
You could contact Sony Support and ask if they could change the status of your phone after you've unlocked the sim of it. That might just do the trick, some people have reported that Sony will do it.

Use Towelroot bro. It worked for me on my mobile with a locked bootloader (10.5.A.0.230). It also worked for when i was on 10.4.1.b.0.101 with unlocked bootloader. I am positive that it should work with locked bootloader tonce you root with towelroot app, download any root checker app from playstore to confirm the status :victory:

Download an apps called Towel Root
Then install it to your phone (Make sure to check Unknown Source in Developer Option)
Tap Make it Ra1n
Wait for a couple minute and done ! :good:
If you want root + installing custom recovery, just download XZDualRecovery by [NUT] (search it in this forum!) from your computer
Then double click the install.bat, and also don't forget to plug your phone to your computer and enable USB Debugging from Dev Option
After that, back to install.bat and type 3 and enter...
It will install towel root to your xperia and tap Make it Ra1n, and wait until it finished
If it help, press the Thanks button :laugh:
