Yes bro! you can update your phone directly. It doesn't brick your phone. But I want to know how you rooted your phone? SuperSU is not rooting app and it cannot root your phone itself. It is app that only manages rooting privileges. Installing only SuperSU app does not mean you have rooting access. If you want to root just by app, use Towelroot from here.
Press Thanks if I helped you! :laugh: :good:

Use the towelroot application as suggested by kelumsd. It is the most risk free root method for xperia sp. You can update ur device by using flashtool for xperia and untick the system in the exclude section before flashing. Once flashed, your device will reboot as usual

Follow the topic, you can update first without root if you like, but you still need to get back on 257 to root anyway.

First revert back to .534 (Hope you know how to downgrade and flash ftf's using flashtool, if you don't please let me know),
Then root it using Kingo,
Install XZDual Recovery,
Then proceed with the link mentioned above.
So much wing with this thread, it's in the wrong section and wrong advice.

Don't worry and welcome to Xperia
You'd have to flash the FTF first. So flash .534 FTF and install XZDualRecovery before proceeding with the thread you've mentioned and do the steps provided there

That link aint working not sure if I can extract the ftf from my phone which is unlocked. Talked to doomlord and it seems rooting doesnt make you lose your drm keys but unlocking the bootloader does, you need root to get the TA backup

No you can not, but there are literally hundreds of FTF files in the mega collection thread that are not torrents for this user to use

If you do not know what to do after rooting I must question your reasons on why you want to root.
However, you may want to do it to learn about android and that is good enough.
There are numerous guides and how to posts in order to gain root on that FW, one of them is linked in my signature. There are now more direct ways to do it, but the one in my signature is good enough. Try that, it will mean some reading and learning, but that the joy in the journey

Please post questions in the question and answer section

please search a little too. Anyways, wait for the latest update for ur phone. That will install 4.4.4 on your device and your build number will end with 108. Once you get that update rooting ur device becomes really easy. There is easy root tool available. Just download and start that program in ur PC and follow the onscreen instructions. Again, that will work only on 4.4.4 so wait till then.

You can do it. For that you need to flash an older 534 rom, root it and then install dual recovery and then flash the latest rom. I dont know why you are in such a hurry.
