I'm rooted with a locked bootloader, if I update will I lose the root?

Yes, but there currently is no update available for LT30at.

You're right. That was odd, there was a notification saying an update was available. When I tapped, it told me I was up to date.

And actually you should not lose root with an OTA update.

Playstation live walpaper

I watched a video of a guy rooting his Xperia z and noticed he had a live walpaper that moved like the Playstation.
Does anyone know where I could find this? I tried looking in the play store with no luck.

I'm sorry, but that is a really irresponsible thing to suggest.
To anybody reading this thread and thinking of trying that : NEVER do this. You can possibly hard brick your device if you disconnect it when Flashtool is writing to it.

Disconnecting during flash might possibly render the phone useless!

If you knew that, then you should have warned them before suggesting it.
If they had bricked their phone, who would pay for a new one? You?
People come here and ask questions because they trust the people here to give proper advice, not guess work and dangerous procedures.

A soft brick is recoverable most of the time and not a huge problem. The worst that usually happens is that you have to wipe the phone and lose your data.
A hard brick means the end and an expensive repair or a new device. If that had happened, then what? You would say sorry and move on while they would be left with a dead phone.
Just be careful what you advise people to do, that's all I'm saying. People ask here because they don't know about these things and the risks involved.

x10 and XZ are different models don't experiment.
Download your phone models firmware and flash
Please use SUS/Emma if flashtool does not resolve your issue
suggest you to take it to a service center instead of hard bricking the phone if all methods fail

I'm perfectly calm. Just responding to him trying to justify what was a dangerous piece of advice.

maybe it's a revision. I believe it has to do with the numbers after the firmware number .230 R1A, R2D, etc.

yup it just changed from R1D to R2D

I don't have any number after. 230...

R2D2 XD

I too got the same notification yesterday. Will update today and check,

I hope it does not take away the root.

Even I got a 2 mb update with description as .230

Same here even I got the update. It seems better scrolling between multiple apps seems good.

Can somebody post ftf of that version because i dont get any update, I always must manually update it

### Cynogenmod vs Stock Rom? ###

Hello everyone. I've been using the stock firmware since i bought the phone but currently thinking to try cynogenmod.
What i want to ask is, does it worth to install CM as Sony's stock rom is pretty good both performance/battery consumption and UI wise, compared to many other phone like samsung which i never quite liked.
Will it improve the battery life which is sony has already done a good job on stock firmware and what other benefits will i get?
Thanks in advance.

Oh sorry now i see what you're trying to say. It seems i've opened the thread to the wrong section. My phone is z2.
I dont know though why cynogenmod team hasn't relased one for z3 and z3+.
