Hello guys,
My Xperia z2 is currently running in 4.4.2 firmware.
I have got update notification ? for 4.4.4
But I am waiting for 5.0 , is it possible to directly update from 4.4.2 to lollipop through ota (without flashing ftf . )

Ok so since lollipop hasn't been released yet, I don't think anyone will me able to answer your question certain.
I would assume no. Ota updates I thought are updated system files and not a full rom. There may be a prerequisite to have some (or all) 4.4.4 system partition to be used as a base for 5.0.
I think you will have to do at least two updates. (first 4.4.4 -> phone updates and reboots -> new update notification for 5.0)

Hello,
my current version is 4.3 official firmware, and I want to root it, but on Chainfire's website it says that the file is for Android 4.1:
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ (Search "i9300")
Does that mean that this root will only work for 4.1, or it should work for any version that is also above 4.1?
Thanks!

Install VMOS - what is an app that lets you install and run an independent rooted Android OS version 5.1 within your own device - and run the app in question therein.
