Yes you will, as long as you are using the stock recovery. Even if you are rooted you would still get the update. But to flash the update you need to full unroot.

hi!
my xperia z bootloader is locked and can be unlocked, i'm still on stock rom 4.1.2.
i'm planning to get root and install a recovery, but keep the bootloader locked. will it then be possible to receive sony's offical jb 4.2.2 update when rooted and recovery installed? i know that once the update 4.2.2. is installed i will have to re-root.
thanks

Yes you will get notification of new official updates if you are rooted

Thanks for your reply.
But will it install? Just a notification would be useless...
Or will I have to get the update somewhere here on xda and flash it manually?
It installs, and overwrites your root. For now that's not an issue, but when 5.0 comes out it might not be possible to get root again due to SELinux being implemented.
Yes exactly as Tom mentioned, it will happy install from PC Companion straight over top, then you just need to re-root again.
4.2.2 would be nice first Tom

After downgrade to NCE 4.4.2, you have to OTA to NG3, OA1, and finally OC4 (5.0). You will lose root, and if you accept the 5.0 OTA you will not be able to root or downgrade anymore. Use this method to update to 5.0 and keep root,

Hi everyone,
I know there is a lot of answers on this forum but it's difficult to find exactly what I ask.
My (european) Moto X 2014 (XT1092) is still in Android 4.4 rooted, with unlocked bootloader and no recovery.
I would like to update to Lollipop 5.1, be rooted and with Xposed installed. I don't want to brick my phone, and I would like some advices on how to do that, what are the steps ?
Thanks
If you haven't already update to 5.0 you could flash 4.4.4/5.0 and then OTA to 5.1

Do I have to unroot my phone before flashing or something like that?
No,flashing will unroot your device.Backup before.

Ok thank's ! By backup you mean manually or use an app to entirely backup the system and data ?
Do I have to root the phone on 5.0 and then update to 5.1 ?
You can fastboot boot twrp and make a backup,just to be safe,it's not mandatory. Flash 5.0 and then check for update.

Ok ! But if I want to be rooted on 5.1 Do I have to root it on 5.0 and then update to 5.1 (will it keep the root ?) or root on 5.1 (if it's possible) ?

Root on 5.1
Hello, I have a simple question:
My XT1068 has stock 5.0.2 with latest update, unrooted and stock recovery but with unlocked bootloader.
''When'' we receive android M or any OTA, will I receive it? If so, will I be able to update it normally? (no manual flash, etc)
Thanks

If you have received an OTA dont install it. You will lose root. As suggested, download a custom ROM and install. Its more fun like that!
