Yup, but you probably need a stock recovery to update. There are some guides in General how to update with root etc

i wouldn't. just wait for a developer to post a rooted version of the update and flash it in recovery. ive heard root + ota updates are kinda a hit or miss as to whether it will toast you or not
I'm having trouble too help?

Lock your bootloader first. Updates check that.

Yeah locking the bootloader would work, you need to return 100% to stock though, so factory software it was shipped with, I don't know whether you still have that or if you can grab it from the official sony site, there is probably a copy of it in the forums

Running PC Companion with an unlocked bootloader is lethal. You could wait it out like PhxkinMassacre said,or skip the reverting to stock,but the bootloader is a must lock.

So in this case I can still receive OTA updates from Google even with the bootloader unlocked and custom recovery by just leaving the stock firmware/ROM on the phone?

System upgrades

I'm pretty new but I wanna know how can we upgrade to 4.4.3 if we are rooted? Obviously OTA is out of the question

Well there's a few ways. You can go back to comepletely stock and accept the OTA or wait until someone puts out a 4.4.3 build.

They haven't even released 4.4.3 for our device yet, have they?

[Q] Just received 4.4.3 OTA - Android version still shows 4.4.2?

Hello,
I'm completely stock, no root or anything on my Nexus 5.
I just received the 4.4.3 update (T-Mobile) and downloaded/installed. It asked for a restart, I said ok, and then it restarted.
Afterwards I checked the Android version under About Phone and it still shows as 4.4.2.
Any ideas? When I check for updates, it says I have the latest version.
Thanks!

Yeah, I've done that twice. When in doubt, restart, right?
No dice unfortunately.

I ended up just sideloading it. I shouldn't have had to, but weird issue regardless, especially since I'm completely stock.

No you can't downgrade. Once your on the 4.4.2 update/bootloader your stuck. There is one exception. If you can find a reliable jtag service that would be a viable option
