[Q] OTA update and root - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I am currently running 23.1.A.0.690 - Unbranded - BALTIC (1288-5413) from here with Root and DualRecovery on a D5803. I got an update notification today. Can I just run this update? Because I also can't dismiss the notification -_-
Thanks in advance.

If you update you will loose root
since you have recovery you can have a look here and flash the D5803 zip this will put you up to the newest firmware 23.1.A.1.28

[Q] Problem with rooting

Hello everyone,
I am having some trouble rooting my Sony Xperia Z1. I flashed firmware 14.1.G.2.257 which is what I am now running so that I could root my device. I downloaded vroot and tried to root it but I had no luck. It keeps coming up with an error. Am I using the wrong firmware or am I doing something wrong? I'm not sure. Any suggestions are appreciated. I have USB debugging enabled by the way.
Thanks.
You have to first downgrade to .534 root that firmware then ota update to 257. I used central europe tft and i got ota update.

Why thank you! Do you happen to have links? Google is my best friend, but if you have direct links, that would be very helpful.
EDIT: I rooted it now but how do I do an "OTA update" to 257? :s
EDIT2: Found it. Thanks, Google and thank you Jimvest. All good now.
Np =)

Rooting Z1 after Lollipop update

Hi, I have a question. A had a rooted Z1. I had to give it to service and now it is unrooted. Obviously. I am on 14.4.A.0.157 now. My question is whether I should wait for official Lollipop update? Will I be able to root then? Or should I root now? I won't receive the official update then most probably. I just would like to add I just want root, not custom ROM now. Thanks for advice.
update using flashable zip and stripped ftf like how it used to be done
Thanks. Will this still work after official Lollipop update?
I haven't go to try it yet, but waiting on feedback, I posted the zip and ftf stripped
