It'll still find updates OTA then yeah? No risk by doing that?

If you didn't change any system files you won't have problems.

I've deleted bloatware. Does that count? Or do you specifically mean OTA files in system?

Deleting bloatware affects ota.

So what would I need to do to upgrade firmware in the future? Restore to OFW, upgrade then reroot?

If my stock rom(official) is rooted, now I upgrade the FW(official ftf) by using flashtool, will the root permission be removed?

Xperia Z (C6603) 343 NL Stock firmware + root?

So I found this post: http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/04/01/debrand-your-xperia-z-tutorial/ look very nice and I would like to try it out. Then I found this ROM for my own country: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200945
Then I read the thread and saw people saying it would be easy to root it also without having a custom ROM. So i went to the recommenden post for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Now I have one question: Does this unlock your bootloader? I want to be sure it doesnt! And when I update my phone again after I rooted it do I need to root again? (with rooting there doesn't come another rom over it in this case, right?)
Thank you for your time!
BTW I have an Sony Xperia Z C6603 branded by T-Mobile
Flashing stock firmwares or custom rom doesn't change bootloader status.
After updating you have to root again.

Ok, thx. So when I use the root guide I actually flash my rom again? Or how does it work?
Sorry but i didn't understand what you mean?
Rooting guide is to root your phone so you can access system files,it's not like changing roms or flashing.

Ah like that. Just like changing permissions of the user or something. Like in Ubuntu the Super user. Thank you for your time!

Freeze "Update Center 1.3.3.A.0.3"(com.sonyericsson.updatecenter.apk) by using Titanium or whatever.
That should stop the notification
