Yes if you are flashing the official stock Sony kernel. Just give it a try and see

SP noob, need some guidance

I bought a Xperia SP today, awesome phone, love it. now i need to root it. i heard it needs to unlock bootloader first to room and if i did that im going to loose bravia engine and track id. so i need to find a trouble free way to root it.

u will het official updates no prob. i believe only installing a custom kernel would stop u getting official updates. sumone please correct me if i'm wrong.

This is my understanding too. Bear in mind that as soon as official updates are released a developer here will make it available on xda. This means you often get updates before you would normally (because they are rolled out at different times depending on carrier and region).

also i saw lots of mods need deodexed rom, can i deodex my stock rom or do i have to flash another?

Once you install CWM, you can deodex your stock firmware without any problem :good:
No need to flash another ROM to do that.

Odexed roms work faster than deodexed. If you don't plan to modify your rom don't deodex it. Though there are many mods for odexed roms too.

The SP is pretty powerful I think it won't make day to day difference.

The update is only for c5302 Sp models.... If you update your c5303 modern with .284 you will lose 4g connectivity but not much else.

How do I flash the kernel? It's say must be rooted first. I can't root the 4.3 firmware. Any help?

1-you can extract the zip file and install the kernel.elf by fastboot mode
or
2-install the zip file by cwm from any other roms (like 4.1) then install ftf file by flashtool with excluded kernel

Then you need to create your own tft(you don't want but there is no other way) or wait doomlord to release an exploit

If you share your ftf I can create a Pre rooted one for you. Will take a few hours tho.. I have more to do

Both PCC and SEUS now points to the same folder/files for updating, so either way is fine
