Hi, I just unlocked my device bootloader, flashed custom recovery and rooted. But I was wondering, when a firmware update comes, how can I update my device? If I'm right you can't update via OTA if you're rooted and unlocked.

I have WT19i and i have unlocked the bootloader official method. Now i flashed .58 firmware and now i wanna update to .62 but i have read somewhere that after unlocking bootloader if u update the phone gets brick.
So any solution?
If i flash .62 firmware directly then would i get root access too?
cause i have root access in .58

If you have stock kernel, just relock the bootloader. Making update directly from phone with unlocked bootloader causes brick indeed.
First relock the bootloader, then make update directly from the phone(3G or WiFi) to .62.
Relocking is written in my tutorial, check there if you need help how to do it.
If I relock bootloader, the process perform a wipe same as when I unlock via Sony Official Method ?
I want relock my bootloader, but with no wipe =D
(using stock kernel and stock .58FW)
Dont forget that wipe is best thing what you can do before upgrade to ics

I have Rage Kernel installed, so now what to do?
Or shall i flash a custom rom?
and one more thing, if i install custom rom then would i be able to upgrade to ics easily?

Your question is already answered, on the ICS stuff. Reload original firmware just to be sure prior update, always perform clean wipe when shifting ROMS so as to avoid un-pleasant experience and make most of it.
Hello
I haven't received yet an OTA update for the Jelly Bean. Is that OK? Should I flash it manually?
I have rooted phone, with custom kernel and stock rom, shall I accept OTA update?
Thanks
Bootloader is unlocked?
why dont you try to download the ftf file and flash it manualy?
in the Xperia Android Development forum you will find all that you need

If you have custom kernel, most likely you have unlocked bootloader. You will not be able to install the update via OTA, PC Companion or Sony Update Service if your bootloader is unlocked. On unlocked bootloader your only option for JB is flashing FTF using flashtool.

But according to the instructions I have to wipe the device, right?
but if I update via OTA it doesn't wipe the device, right?
Can I do it without wiping?
If I have to wipe, Can I flash to JB and recover all the apps and preferences without installing?

you dont need to unroot to change roms you should be able to flash any rom (as long as you have the right recovery and what not)
If your talking about just stock ROM rooted and wanting to get the 4.3 OTA then im 99% sure that once you root which (means you unlocked the bootloader) you cant receive the OTA anymore. im not sure if its worth the hastle of relocking the bootloader to maybe see if youll get the ota. just flash a 4.3 rom and youll be good.

cool thx im gonna try to flash a 4.3 rom
so i flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499452 and now super user says there is no SU binary installed , if you upgraded to android 4.3 , you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your divece . could anyone help me out here i dont know what to do, do i need to re root the phone?
All you have to do is download chainfire latest superuser zip and reboot into recovery and choose it and install it .
You don't need to reroot if you already flashed a Rom..that means you was able to flash it cause u was rooted .
You just need to install superuser zip.

You can't since your bootloader is locked and can't be unlocked at this time.

could i go back to 4.1.2 ???
stock 4.4.2? Nope since you can't go back with the kernal - once again since the bootloader is locked.
Well after wandering here n there behind ROMs for a month or so im now looking for OTA update 5.1. As im in india and motorola has already announced it here so it can land anytime. As i told i was on custom ROMs and fairly i had custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, will i have an OTA or i need to do something with my device??
Im on stock rom now.
I asked same to motorola guys but they didnt seemed to know anything.
So i have one straight qs.
Will i be able to get OTA despite having unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and root?
You need stock ROM, stock recovery and a. Unroofed phone to receive OTA.
From Customer Support motorola
If You are unlocked your bootloader you can get OTA update !
If you are rooted your device you cant get OTA update.
So, Revert to Stock ROM, and Unroot your Device to Get OTA.
