Rooting 4.2.1 and update to 4.2.2

EDIT: switched the numbers in the title...instead of 4.2.1 it is 4.1.2
hi!
if i root my xperia z (currently on 4.1.2), will i be able to update "normally" when sony releases 4.2.2? even if i installed some mods?
my brother has a rooted samsung, and official updates won't be applied.
thanks for your help

As long as you don't unlock the bootloader, you should be able to connect to pc companion and update your machine.

You will have to re-root it and keep a backup with titanium backup..Mods will have to be flashed again though.

You will have to re-root again every time you update the firmware

thanks for your answers.
should've written that i know that i then will have to re-root 4.2.2. (and eventually reflash the mods, but for flashing you'll need an unlocked bootloader).
but my concern is if i'll be able to update a rooted 4.1.2 to a non-rooted 4.2.2.
but as far as i can see that as long as i don't unlock my bootloader, it'll be possible.

Why are you hanging out here bro? Head over to the Sprint forums!
Anyway, dont do that! Why not flash OMJ's ROM? There are a couple of bugs, I believe, but they're probably minor.

Anyway, the only req for taking update is stock recovery. And stock ROM, of course. You can flash the stock recovery.
No need to RUU or relock boot loader.
