Hi all,
Might be a silly question, but today i received a notification about the above frameware. I have rooted, bootloader blocked stock rom.
Will i loose the root if i made this FW update?
Yes, but you can root your phone again.

Does anyone know when/if there will be an OTA update for the new 4.2.2 firmware? I have flashed a generic NL .253 .ftf and I also never received
the other updates OTA. I do want to update, but I want to keep root access. I know I can flash a new generic ftf and gain root access with the perf_event exploit, but just updating OTA is easier I guess. Thanks in advance!

Depends what you mean with easier.
If you're willing to wait another month (just an example) for the OTA then yes it would be easy.
You can flash the T-Mobile NL FTF, gain root, remove root within an hour. I'm quite sure that you will have to wait a lot longer then an hour for OTA to even come out.
A month does seem like an awful long time..

I just did the original Japanese xperia z 4.2.2 update and it is fine it didn't change the language or anything I just flashed it over the old one done. Is even rooted. And It has no issues. So there is already ways on getting the official 4.2.2 update.

Did you root using the perf_event exploit? I caved in.. Downloading a generic NL stock rom right now. Installing and rooting asap, couldn't wait any longer

Just download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339421
Open flashtool
At wipe untick data and cache leave appslog ticked
This way you keep your root and your Phone will have in 5 minutes the latest version!
Done this yesterday myself

Just flash DoomKernel via flashtool. It is prerooted, it has recovery included.
Since you are unlocked, it is as easy as pie.

You won't lose any data via these methods, although a backup always comes in handy if something goes wrong.

Check out the Development forum section for Xperia Z.
Though be careful unlocking or rooting your phone. Make sure you do it correctly, otherwise you can brick it.
I'm willing to stay on the current (stock) rom for a while - if I have stock 14.1.G.1.534 that I'm about to root - will I mess smth up if I update to 14.1.G.2.257 or any other version that'll be available through Z1 Update Center (assuming there will be one available for download through the handset software)
Regards
You will lose root if you update to .257
But you can root, install recovery on .534 and then flash a pre rooted 257 rom from the dev section
Thanks Greg. Don't know why xda app does that.

Actually I read a report yesterday that root was kept after an OTA update. I suppose it's just a "diff" being pushed out so it's not surprising, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Thanks for that guys - well then I'll try kingo root on first and then update to see what happens. Cheers
Rooted with kingo then OTA to 257 - root preserved
