I've received the OTA update for my phone it was about 1.5mb and after update I retained root. Only thing I had to do was update xposed framework. Cheers ladies

Which customization?
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app

Yeah I think he means.292
Could u please extract the Ota update package and tell us what is in it? Or maybe upload it? Cuz there seems to be no official changelog for.292 and an Ota update would tell us I think

Yes sorry it's .292 nothing special just some small fixes. Will try to get more info but I think our more capable devs know more
BTW I'm on generic ncb

[HOW TO] Update to 257 and preserve root

O.K guys...
This is quite simple
Download generic 534 (I used for central Europe)
DOWNLOAD FTF
Flash it via Flashtool and root with Kingo or root this way :
tnx @schickel
This method works great. If you don't trust these tools(Kingo root), use Root MANY ANDROID from Bin4ry. I've used this tool without any problems on the downgraded firmware.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then boot ROM (you will need to restart your device two times to root proper) and you'll get OTA warning you have 257 firmware ready for update.
Download update and let the device flash the update.
And that's it
Now you have newest firmware and you root is here as well...
See ya

Thanks.
Not everyone gets the OTA, some need to do it via pccompanion.
But its great news to know the OTA update keeps root.

That's the point of this thread.
You'll get OTA if you use generic or world FTF.
That's why I said - first flash central Europe (for EU countries) and you'll get OTA info about 257 firmware.
I couldn't update by OTA too, then I did all this and now I can use OTA.
I was receiving OTA info but couldn't update - so I know not everyone can update that way.

Yes I agree with you. But some will want to stay with region specific or branded firmware. There are other methods for them, this is good for those people who will want to flash to central Europe first.
I good find and thanks for confirming OTA keeps root.
I agree, of course
Thanks @Toledo_JAB for moving thread to right place. :thumbup:

What for other methods do we have without unlocking bootloader and flashing other ftf?
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
So will this require wiping or can I install generic ROM over branded ROM?
EDIT: ROOT IS STILL HERE! WOOHOO!!!
OTA on phone preserves root, no matter which .534 firmware u have.
If u update from phone it preserves root
Make sure to switch to SuperSU app before u update, from any other superuser, works best

how do you force OTA though? I can't get it on Generic UK firmware...

I didn't force it. I was running the .534 DK firmware and the update notification has always been there through the sony software update app. I chose the DK firmware over the hong kong firmware because I didin't like the NFC logo always on there and I'd rather my phone say 4G instead of LTE.
You may have to wait for the OTA! Not sure if there is a way to force it on the phone unless someone gets the update.zip after they download it and you flash it in stock recovery? not sure as I've never entered stock recovery yet. my BL still locked.
Damn it I want a nexus 5... but I'm afraid I'll get drunk or something and accidentally wash it like i do the Z1 all the time

I got the update pushed on OTA today (I have root) unfortunately it fails updating, no specified reason. Not looking forward to wiping phone and retrying it.

Same here. I just tried the OTA update and got the update failed after the reboot.
EDIT:
Maybe because I rooted with using Vroot. From what I've read, people had success using Kingo root. I tried the update 4x so far after Vroot. I'll edit this post again after rooting using Kingo root and see if the update will go through or not.

Hi Funky,
thanks for that tipp, will try out asap. But exactly which FTF you choosed, this one:
C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Central Europe1276-4314_R2A
Cheers
Yes, that's the firmware I have used.
As I said, I used that firmware just because my original firmware couldn't update via OTA.
I got info about new firmware but couldn't update until I first flashed that unbranded firmware.

Can I flash the central Europe firmware without wiping data? If yes, then how to do it?

This seems still far from Marshmellow...
Super nice! Impatient to see what's in there!
I believe no marshmallow.
Maybe a update to close the latest found stagefright.
Probably for the second Stagefright vulnerability and some other bugfixes. Considering it changes the second last number to "1" instead of just upping the last number suggest it is a bigger update.

You will receive, why not. If you are on a branded firmware you probably have to wait a little longer till you get you ota update notification.
What can give you probably more problems is the rooted phone and custom recovery which could prevent a successful update.

Im on .183 firmware but my recovery is on .164 (I just came back from CM13 but things are not going good at the rom so I flashed latest firmware but I cant find .183 recovery)
I tried updating into .184 update (latest) but error come by.
Can someone provide me a .183 recovery image? Or can somebody teach me how to flash the update using out-dated recovery.
Thank you (sorry for bad english)
Why still LP. And release 183,awhile later 184. Crap

Go to the pre-rooted rom thread in developement. You can download the boot, droidboot and recovery images as well as the pre-rooted roms. Flash with fastboot.
Just download what you need, if you have an old recovery you will probably need to flash all three files above...
good afternoon, I have the version .83, with Xposed and SuperSU, I have to do to install the update .84? Thank you.

OTA Update for Rooted J730XX?

I was wondering if ever we got a huge and nice update in the near future, is it possible to update your device via the OTA Software update even though your device is rooted?
If so, how?
A link to an existing thread would be appreciated too. Thanks!
