[Q] OTA Update Question [Xperia T] - General Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I have an Xperia T with a locked bootloader, I've rooted it using the backup&restore method... a couple of days ago an OTA update became available, but I'm afraid to install it in case it somehow kills root then locks me out of putting it back again.
Any ideas of what this update will do?

... I'm fully aware what a software update is, and does.
My question is, will this remove root (it presumably patches the timing exploit used to gain root too, meaning no I probably cannot root it again after applying this update) and no I cannot unlock the bootloader.

I don't know how to do the above but I can say unlocking this version alone
won't make you happy, even if it is unlocked you can't update it without a Docomo sim,
so flashing will be critical.
Great phone though, once you learn how to get rid of the animated goat character walking
around on the home screen.

But the Seller tell me, it is possible to update with OTA.
I am still waiting the Android 5 update... T_T
Or just kill NFC, use the global ROM better ?
Hard to decide ...

Downgrading to android 9 - is it possible?

I've got the android 10 beta update, but i need to downgrade back to 9, because an app, which i use for work isn't working under the new system. I've downloaded, the oficial android 9 build from oneplus's site, and was about to use the local upgrade function, but it shows this message.

. I'd like to avoid to install custom recovery and custom rom, if possible.
Thanks!
So it shows this

the fastest way back with data loss is to msm the phone back to 9.
Go in the oneplus community beta thread and you will find the correct rom to downgrade.
you can but i twill wiped all of ur data. go to the oxygenos android q beta's thread on oneplus community. there's an instruction there.
It is basically a downgrade package which is installed using local upgrade.
Doesnt Format everything on TWRP and then the PIE works?
Whats the difficulty?

You are confusing unlocking the bootloader with rooting.
The two don't happen on their own.

Yet unlocking both was required to unlock.
Sorry but I can't understand. Before I was on htc and it's very different
Unlocking the BL allows you to flash custom software. By unlocking you just got access to partitions. Now in order to have root you need a root manager, like Magisk to manage and grant the root requests. To have this managing app you need to patch your current kernel and then flash it and only after that your root management app will work. And yes, now that you have BL unlocked your phone will fail safenet checks, but can go around that by having root
