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 just updated my V to .145 via PC Companion and root is gone
I was on .140 before, and no updates were available ota.
I'm looking for a new root method now.

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...
Hi guys fairly new to android been on ios since the beginning.
my problem is when I try to update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 OTA it downloads fine but when its installing gets about 25% done then phone reboots and I get error message "could not install software update please try again", tried it about 20 times in last couple of days just keep getting exact same error. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hi!
If you have CWM or TWRP installed, uninstall it and the update. as recovery prevents OTA from completing.

Waiting for good news. :fingers-crossed:
Great news I am on 4.3 with root via OTA. Yes it did work!
So what you must do: Flash .534 via flashtool, then root, then OTA (with ota survival mode enabled) to 4.3!
Don't do anything else like disable system apps, only what I said in this post!

You are correct mate it is only partial root

rooted partially
Basically I would not consider it rooted as when using flashtool, busybox was unable to be installed.
Can't even edit build.prop
not rooted via OTA
Agreed, unable to edit build.prop to add in my net.hostname for the LAN. So wouldn't consider it a root at all.
Anyone found a way to root without unlocking the bootloader?
help update failed
Can anyone help me please have flashed my c6903 back to 534 then rooted I don't have Cwm I am on stock recovery and . Have tried to update with voodoo temp unroot and also survival mode in such but each time the installation fails am.I missing something thanks

My Xperia T says that an Update is Available, 9.1.A.1.141 If I do update it using Sony's PC Companion will I lose everything apps save files? or will it just update the System? After this planning to root also. Thanks XDA.
App files wont be lost during official updates.
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 ~"~
Hello guys, lot time ago i have rooted my xperia z with 4.4.4 android version. After that i had changed buttons/fonts and now i dont have stock of them. The problem is that now i want to update to android lollipop, and i dont have idea what to do. I dont know did i need to unroot firstly then update, or just update. But if i need unroot, did these applied things like changed fonts/buttons apearance did not cause some bugs,bricks without changing back them to stock and unrooting? Becouse these functions need root, and i want to unroot without changing them to stock, becouse i dont have idea where i can get them. Damn... Its madness, i dont know what to do now and what to do firstly sorry about my terrible english skills, and also i am big noob here as you can see. I hope you guys understand what i want to say, i really need help!!!!!!
What Xperia Z do you have? C6602, C66603?
Second, is OTA avaiable for you country?

Hi bro
to install LP you dont need change ane thing in your current rom
to flash LP every thing will be wiped (all data and phone partition get formated ) but you just have to be aware your phone is LB or UN: if your phone bootloader is unlocked then your not able to update via xperia update
wene ever flash roms via flashtool is preference:good:

Thanks buddy i dont have custom rom, unlocked bootloader, just rooted and thats it, without unlocking. So... did i can update lollipop? And the thing about buttons/fonts is that what i mean
Did after update will be everythink clear? Did these changed buttons will not cause bugs?
I have changed them with SoftKeyZ app, who require root, and i dont have stock buttons
To change back. And another question, did i need to unroot before apply android 5 lollipop? I have firmware update of it, so i need just apply it, but i am scarred.

OTA - Over The Air - Type of update, means you download it directly on your phone and it updates, without the need of PC.
Recommended: Backup everything - Clean Install (via pc companion or flashtool) - install whatever you want
Second - chances of bricking by just updating to lollipop in your case are minimal, however backup first so you can restore in case of a disaster.

Yes, of course , with an unlocked bootloader it is really easy.
With a locked bootloader however the only possible way is to root it with Kingroot (chinese app), and then replace it with SuperSu.
Have fun!
