You can't update through OTA anyway if you're already on a rooted phone. I'm also on NUT's rooted firmware and received the OTA notification and the update won't work due to root or custom recovery.
So what if I want to update?? Can I? (rooted xperia z1...)
Have also just got the update through, it's a very small update, kind of reluctant to update, but it's so small I can't see it removing root either way.
I'm in the UK and am on EE. Running Monx's rom 6.0.3
Tried it, wouldn't install, cannot verify.
Need to get rid of this bloody notification now.

Hmmm, why have you got it and i aint. EE UK, non rooted and am only across the Mersey from you (going by your avatar)

You won't lose after OTA
Just to share - I came from NUT's 757 rom updated via OTA to 761 and I did not lose root. :good: Hope this helps.
PS. I didn't notice any difference maybe will check it out for a few more days
How did you do that...... It says "can't verify" when I try to install

Good update, this fixed the battery drain issue that I had with the previous firmware
If you are rooted using NUT's package then you can update following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53037526&postcount=114
Just clear the icon, it's not going to be installable if youre on a custom rom, so monx = no, i'm guessing most of the other rom's will be the same too.
Just go to settings / apps / all / update service and update centre and stop notifications.
Gets rid of it but obviously the update is still there.

did you convert SuperSu in a system app (with the special function of SuperSu app) before the OTA firmware update?
First we get told that this is an operator specific update for France and China, then there's a certified update ending with 769, and now we get this 761 update worldwide.
What's going on?

That's the thing, if the OTA update patches the exploit used to root it then you won't be able to re root. But as Rashkae said OTA updates seem to retain root. Worst case scenario, flash back to .350 with flashtool and root again

So, any news from sony what's new in this update?
I assume it takes care of those sudden deaths... anything else?, cause i have this bug when i turn on the wifi, it continues to use 2g/3g network even it's connected to wifi.
It's not a big deal as i have to disable data before connecting to wifi(i'll rather have this than wifi dropouts. ), but still would like to get this fixed
Updated to .434 , I'm in Spain and OTA did'n find nothing, only with Companion.

It was through PCC mate. I had my tablet connected this morning with no update, so it's obviously only been out for an hour or so.
Just installed, and I'm actually rather enjoying it! Alot better than what screenshots have shown.

Thanks. I'll try Emma again soon. Ironic really - Emma is a Sony developer tool which is meant to give updates a bit sooner than the usual methods
For those of us that are on Cyanogen, is there any way of finding out if the FTF has any important firmware updates in there?
I can rename the .370 FTF to ZIP and see all the sin files, but the vast majority I am unsure about.
Otherwise, I can always nandroid and do it that way

Relock your BL or wait for a ftf.
The problem is not using a custom rom and update with pcc (the rom doesn't matter but the kernel yes), it's when your bl is unlocked you can't update via SUS/PCC no more.

Once the FTF is out and about is there a way of knowing what we need to flash (and perhaps how) to not affect our existing custom setup?

When you flash a ftf file with flashtool, deselect DATA in the wipe section (box in top right corner). That will preserve your data when you flash.

Ok, sounds like a good compromise
When someone uses PCC to download the firmware, is a local copy stored?
Just wondering what the chances of getting this file are!
I like everything is this update, except the recent apps tray. Swiping away should always be 'swipe across' not 'swipe up or down'.
Few new features might have been nice, but can't complain. At least it's arrived!
It also has the thumb keyboard!

Hi guys, just thought I would inform you that the 290 OTA is out in the USA. I have a c6903 that was imported here, SO I do not know if the phone has a location set or if its just going by my carriers connectivity, which is StraightTalk.
Should I update OTA and see if it preserves root?
You can't do OTA if rooted. Sony has taken care of that. OTA will fail if you try.

Strange beause it worked for me. I have C6903 unbranded (Romania).
I flashed 534, rooted, OTA-updated to 257 (root was kept)
Today I received the notification that an update to 290 is available.
So I successfully updated to 290 via OTA. Root is lost though

I did OTA update and root is survived but partial root only. System files are write protected. If you want fully working root, you need to unlock the bootloader (at least for now).
I removed root and couldn't update OTA. Had to resort to the pc companion. I hope this helps in the development of a solution to get a 4.3 OTA root.
We have to detect which firmware could handle OTA update with root.
Same thing happened on some 257 firmware but...
Sony fixed exploit space that devs used to root and even if you find firmware (like @ktxed) that can be updated on rooted devices - you'll have only partial root.
And that means - you'll be able to flash everything through recovery but as soon as OS boot - you can't write to system anymore.
