Looking for pre rooted 14.5.A.0.242 AU

So.. I was on 14.2.A.1.136 (4.3) stock firmware.. I wanted to root and I had to downgrade to 4.2.2 then root then flashing 14.2.A.0.290 (4.3) firmware.. Thanks to @shem2409 and @[NUT] for this method.
Anyway.. After rooting and flashing and all of that.. I received an OTA update for the stock 14.2.A.1.136 firmware.. And I was really surprised because what I know is that you lose the OTA updates and pc companion updates capabilities after you root your phone.
So my Question is.. If I updated the firmware OTA will I lose thr root? I can't afford to root it again for at least 3 weeks because my laptop is on the maintenance right now ..and I need the root privileges.

Hi
Did the same thing for my phone....however I did not update back to 4.3 via ota but instead downloaded the pre-rooted firmware version for 14.2.A.1.136 pointed out bh someone to me on xda. I'd suggest you do the same as I havent lost root access after finishing this.

is it the same firmware ?? I mean .. is there any differences between the pre-rooted version and the original ?
and I read about that there is a chance of hard brick the phone after doing this .. did you face any similar problem ?
No... I had no issues.... Yeah the same firm ware...

You are mostly right
You need a to be rooted, I suggest you use the 23.0.A.2.93 firmware to do this (4.4.4 - kitkat)
Have a custom recovery (click links to go to the posts)
Then flash a pre-rooted lollipop firmware
Sadly in lollipop they fixed the SuperSU Survival mode so the only way to get root is to flash a pre-rooted firmware

You will loose root if you update through OTA or through computer
You will keep root if you flash a pre-rooted firmware after gaining root on KK

Hi all, as the title I lost my Xperia Z1 stock recovery!
I had 4.4 with 14.3.A.0.757 firmware rooted and dualrecovery, and I updated to 5.0.1 Lollipop with PcCompanion. Then my Z1 became pretty slow so I wanted to flash this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/5-0-rockz1lv1-1-deodex-advanced-mods-t3090064 on my phone, but I recognized I had not any recovery installed! So i flashed the 14.5.A.0.242 Lollipop firmware thinking I'll get back a recovery, but still don't!
How can I fix this?
Thanks

From taking what you have wrote, when you were on 4.4 kitkat you rooted your phone and put dual recovery on, your mistake was to upgrade to lollipop using the PC companion instead of finding a pre-rooted lolliop on these forums, hence the reason you lost recovery, the only way to get it back would be to go back to kit kat and then root your phone put dual recovery on flash the firmware you want from recovery.
Hi, I'm still on a pre-rooted 5.0.2 stock rom based on this:

My question is: How would I go about updating to 5.1.1 without losing root? Would I have to flash the 5.1.1 firmware via Flashtool again? If so, does anyone have a stock pre-rooted US firmware? I also have a locked bootloader, and I'd prefer to keep it that way for the better camera. Thanks!
