I'm rooted, with locked bl (but is unlockable) I shall just update ota and see if root sticks. It has done for every previous ota update in my z and every other Sony phone I've had ?
[Xperia Z General] yashkadam0012:
root will be gone b'coz android 5.0.2 restore your android 4.4.4 system folder
[Xperia Z General] technaudio:
But didn't that also happen when I updated from the original 10.1.a.1.*** that my phone originally started with?
[Xperia Z General] yashkadam0012:
i also have rooted with android 4.3 but when i update android 4.4.2 via OTA the root will be gone
[Xperia Z General] SONiX-GERMANY:
SuperSU pro has a "survival" option, maybe root rights stay during the OTA update. It's worth a try anyway. And you support the developer when you buy it.

atm: Z, Z3, Arc S, Play, S3, S3 Mini
[Xperia Z General] technaudio:
^^ this. Indeed I have supersu pro, and have the survival mode enabled.

As far as I know, OTA survival mode doesn't work when updating to Lollipop and is actually unavailable when using SuperSU on 5.0+ roms.

[Xperia Z General] SONiX-GERMANY:
Was successfull with update OTA few times too, in most cases it fails when you have a custom recovery installed. My son's Z is rooted only, LB, all stock, and he was able to update OTA, but root was gone, never tried the survival mode.

atm: Z, Z3, Arc S, Play, S3, S3 Mini
[Xperia Z General] control freak:
Guys, I have xperia ZL C6502 rooted android 4.3 stock rom, locked bootloader. I Waited so that I can get lollipop. But I also don't want to lose root. I am planning the ota route. That way,will I first need to download Kitkat? And then lollipop? Is that so? Iam willing but I don't wanna lose root. Can I maintain that? Also, is the certified version 5.0.X or 5.1.X? Thank you.
[Xperia Z General] Sdamaceno:
I think you have to update first to KK then to Lolipop. They didn't released the certified version, but I think it is 5.0.x. About the root, it very probably you will lost it.
[Xperia Z General] Pandemic:
If someone creating a flashable Lollipop pre-rooted zip for Xperia Z and you will flash it over KK then you will keep root but probarly after flashing the pre-rooted LP zip you need to flash SuperSu.zip also and reboot and in that way we have it also on our Z2 ;)

Wow, I can't believe they're still selling a 2 year old device. Thanks for correcting me. Maybe they overestimated how many they would sell and have a lot of stock left. :)

It's £289 (!) in the UK, which is massively overpriced considering I can get a OnePlus One or even a LG G3 for less.

[MENTION=2452820]kingvortex[/MENTION] how many times must you remind us that the XZ is over 2years old ?

I guess we all know that

And by the way,the XZ was launched with 4.1.2 when Android 4.3 was running on most nexus devices

So it's not like the XZ has seen so many updates like people want us to believe

That was Sony's fault,not we the consumers
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Every single time someone complains that it's taking sooooo long for Sony to update it. It's nothing but pure impatience. They could have simply EOL the Z when it was 2 years old if they wanted to.

It's a fact that we've gone 4.1 -> 4.2 -> 4.3 -> 4.4 and now we're getting 5.0 as well. You cannot possibly fault the support. If being on 4.1 at launch was a problem and fast, early updates were a priority, you should have bought a Nexus. Also, 4.3 didn't release until around 5 months after the Z so no Nexus devices were running it.

In short, this is an old device. Be happy it's still being supported and have some patience or buy a new device. :D

It seemed that multiple Xperia Z phones in the area of Taiwan(East Asia) are receiving 10.6.A.0.454 as the newest Xperia Z Lollipop update currently,

as seen from a discussion thread in a Taiwan based forum,

though there is no way for me to prove the reliability of the news though. (As I'm using custom lollipop rom at the moment, I cannot OTA)
