hi!
if i root my xperia z (currently on 4.1.2), will i be able to update "normally" when sony releases 4.2.2? even if i installed some mods?
my brother has a rooted samsung, and official updates won't be applied.
thanks for your help
As long as you don't unlock the bootloader, you should be able to connect to pc companion and update your machine.

You will have to re-root it and keep a backup with titanium backup..Mods will have to be flashed again though.

You will have to re-root again every time you update the firmware
thanks for your answers.
should've written that i know that i then will have to re-root 4.2.2. (and eventually reflash the mods, but for flashing you'll need an unlocked bootloader).
but my concern is if i'll be able to update a rooted 4.1.2 to a non-rooted 4.2.2.
but as far as i can see that as long as i don't unlock my bootloader, it'll be possible.
Is it possible to downgrade back to 4.2.2 if I take the 4.4 OTA (LOCKED bootloader)? If so, how?
Thanks for any help..
Look in the development section, downgrading to 4.2.2 is part if the root process

Can I always downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 using flashtool? I want to root my phone later after I tried 4.4.2

Hi there, I have gt-i9295 and I didn't update my phone to 4.4.2 yet. First of all, I wonder if I can do this:
When 4.4.2 is available for my country, I will flash stock 4.2.2 and use TriangleAway. Then I'll update my device to 4.4.2 .
I'm not quite sure that 4.2.2 has knox for gt-i9295 but I don't see any counter in odin mode. Is it possible to do that and reclaim my warranty?
And is there any knox-free version of 4.4.2 so I can flash it now and use it until 4.4.2 arrives for my country. Without increasing knox counter.
As I know, Netherlands version has no built in Knox. So you can easy migrate to 4.2 in case of any troubles with kk.
