I don't know about the latest update but I've previously done OTA updates before and kept root (I've got a Xperia T not V).

I also had no OTA available so used PC Companion to go from 9.1.A.1.140 to .141 on my Xperia T. I don't know the differences between XT .141 and XV .145 but was able to regain root using Bin4ry's Root Many Android method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460, it might work for you.

if you perform OTA update (via PHONE), you won't loose anything, actually USUALLY you don't loose anything, and of course, using root keeper...
that's totally obvious when you use PC Companion, you will loose root..
And for regaining root access, use DoomLord EasyRootKit, which is now available in Android Development Section, it actually covers ALL devices, including V
wish you luck
ok. ive try update it via OTA, while keep the root access using voodoo rootkeeper, but no success. the main problem here is ive installed CWM. i for got about this "Keep in mind that at the moment installing CWM will broke OTA updates, even if you unroot and/or remove CWM." so there is no chance to update it via OTA anymore right?:victory:

CHANCES are always CHANCES, so you have to try them
otherwise we wouldn't call them "Chance"
but, in theory, with aforementioned conditions, it's hard to believe that you will be able to update via OTA...

This isn't an issue, but I thought it was odd and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this?
I got the OTA to upgrade my 6602 to .244 firmware (only 45.1 MB) so I bit the bullet and upgraded after reading DooMLoRD's method of rooting .244. I started Flashtool and plugged in my phone to start the whole process, only to see my phone screen show the SU message asking if I wanted to grant access. I'm looking under About phone and it says "Your device already has the latest available system updates" and the Build number is 10.3.1.A.0.244. Titanium works and SU says I have several apps that have SU access.
I'm certainly not complaining, but I thought the .244 upgrade broke root? Or am I completely missing something here?
when upgrading by OTA, keeping root is normal. you loose the root when upgrading with PC comp for example.

Ahh, OK, thanks!
Hello guys,
Today I got a notification of the .266 update available on OTA. MY question is, will Voodoo Rootkeeper help me keep root acces, or will it not work?
In the description of this app is stated it doesn't work for 4.3. I don't know whether that means I can't create a backup on 4.3 or I can't keep root upgrading to 4.3. Please advice
I dont believe Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper works with this update. You need to either find another way to keep root or root after the update with one of the many tutorails

You can't...
At least not through update center or pc companion...
Just flash latest ftf using flashtool and root new firmware...
It's two click job so that shouldn't be a problem...
Just make sure you exclude wipe data option to preserve your accounts, data and apps...

I'd like to know this myself.
I have a feeling a flash to an earlier version is needed. I've tried several outdated roots with no joy.
OP you will probably get ignored or told to read a 100 page thread.
Use Easy root for xperia
google it
I know, right! Well, don't download the EasyRoot because afterwards it asks for a key and the website to get it from doesn't even function (unstableapps.com).
i think we may just have to go back to iPhone, or wait for a truly customizable new platform, where you can change battery icons and fully control your device. there doesn't seem a way to utilize our phones any longer.

New Root. I didn't have any issues. Installed a recovery too
Newroot newroot newroot!
Guys just go to this thread and download this tool by munjeni. Easiest root unroot you can find. No need to go back to an older firmware n all. Just hit root/unroot and you are all set. Make sure you install proper phone drivers though. PC companion should show that c6902 connected. I had a slight issue while rooting since the phone was not getting detected. Simply reinstall PC companion and you are good to go.

I just received the OTA update notice from my Xperia Z to version 10.6.A.0.454
I have downloaded it and tried to do the update, but it just failed.
I can see my phone can enter the setup screen with the Android robot icon, but when the progress bar starts to run, it just simply reboot itself.
My current version is 10.5.1.A.0.292, rooted, I can't really remember which tool i used to root my device, but I am sure I was not using flashtool and never use that.
Is there any log i can see what caused the fail or what can I do to upgrade?
PCC is not a choice at the moment since my computer don't have enough space in C drive to perform the phone update, but i will be able to try 10 hours later.

I don't know if my device is unlocked.
But in this case, can I update using PCC?
if not, i guess i will just use flashtool...

if you have recovery installed then the zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-c6602-customized-10-6-0-454-t3114152 its pre rooted
thanks for the suggestions
but the question is kind of fixed by update using PCC...
another problem of overheat comes out after update though ~"~
