I read somewhere that Xperia M2 will be updated to Android Lollipop 5.1 soon, is that right?
And the thing is that I just rooted my phone so I will not get the update via System update, right?
So how can I get the update?
I'm newbie here so please help me if you could.

Ah yes. I used Kingroot and then used Google to get rid of the Chinese apps and install SuperSU instead.

Then you are safe, just open supersu and scroll down untill u find a menu saying unroot and from the drop down select full unroot. After that u can install OTA without any worries. Cheers

Its really very hard to say. Only Sony knows what they are doing. But be assured that you will receive the update and you will receive the update soon.
I reckon at least another month yet if not longer as even the z1 and z ain't been released yet or even all the z2's been updated.

With a rooted phone and a locked bootloader you most likely won't get the option to do OTA updates (directly from the phone). I don't. Still you'll get the notification about a system update available. Unless of bad bricks PC Companion will always install the latest Android version for your phone, overwriting the whole ROM (and thus the rooting). So just start it on your PC and plug the phone. It will tell you what to do. That applies to Lollipop as well as to any potential KK new update.
If the BL is unlocked you may want to lock it back first. For that you need the backup of the TA partition (which can be done only if you rooted the phone before unlocking the BL). Or best of all you can use Flashtool. It also has an option to download the last FTF (ROM) for each phone model (also different by Country, carrier, etc).
Regarding Lollipop our phone will be the last getting it. And Sony with its updates is unbelievably slow. We'll be lucky if we get it in September.

But still, I got a bit confused (sorry about that - I didn't get much from your second paragraph).
So what I need to do now is just wait until I get the notification update, then connect the device to pc, and do whatever it tells me, right? Do I have to perform a full unroot or something?

The update installation, which via PC Compnion will be the full ROM, will erase the root. Because it clears and rewrites the system partition, where the rooting files are located. No need to do it in advance since PC Companion is also used to rebuild the phone. The small OTAs instead are incremental updates. If they worked root would most likely be still there after updating.

I dunno. They worked for mine before I rooted it. They became unavailable only after rooting. I am just getting the notifications, now. Which having a quota on my Internet is a pain in the arse.
I wonder if there is any FTF repository only for the OTA updates? It would be interesting to see if they get installed via Flashtool. That would save bandwidth and time.
Ota will work until you install supersu and update the binaries and kill Sony RIC. That's how I went from jb 4.3 to 18.3.1.C.1.13 kk (checked with root checker app after each ota to confirm still rooted)to get to 18.3.1.C.1.15 I flashed a pre-rooted zip as that update was pc only for some reason.

I just bought my phone from Swappa. It's currently rooted,TWRP and running D80120a.
I received OTA update notification last night.
Will I loose root if I allow it to install?
If so, how can I ignore it and disable the notification?

If you're rooted with TWRP, the OTA won't install, at least it didn't for me. I clicked on the OTA and it rebooted into TWRP, but nothing installed. Rebooted the system, the OTA was gone, and I was still on 20a. You will lose root if you install the 20e, but you can re-root with TowelRoot and I believe you can get TWRP back with AutoRec (I used TowelRoot, but not AutoRec). From my understanding, if you use AutoRec, you will lose Knock Code.
So I tried to update and it went through the process. Even seen the little green android saying installing update . phone rebooted still had root access and about phone is showing the "a" version. Checked for update again and it said phone up to date. This doesn't seem right

I'm guessing you don't have a custom recovery? I had TWRP and the green android was on for a split second before TWRP started and it didn't update. I think if you're rooted, you have to update via the support tool or the pc suite. To get root back, use towelroot. Backup your data, but you should be able to keep everything on your phone if you don't wipe/reset.
Cool thanks!

In my experience, updating via LG Support Tool wipes everything. I am backing up all my data right now. Hopefully towelroot still works on this version.
EDIT: So I just finished the update via LG Support Tool. My data was left intact, but stuff was broke anyways - probably from using system cleaner app and then not having root after the update. So I am doing a factory reset anyway and will start all over. I expected it to be wiped anyway.

I ended up using the LG Mobile Support Tool to install the update. I wasn't able to install the OTA; it booted into TWRP, then when I rebooted the system, it said I was up to date, even though I was still on 10a. I lost root, but was able to re-root with towelroot. Everything was still there when I booted, although I don't have TWRP recovery. Not sure if I want to do that since I read somewhere that I will lose Knock Code. Make sure you back up your data just in case things don't go smoothly.

See if re-rooting with towelroot will fix anything that's broken before you do a complete wipe.

If I use KDZ to flash the update, will I loose TWRP? Or do you think a flashable zip file will be made in the future?
I just updated my NON ROOTED d801 g2 and now my touch screen does not work at all. No errors during installation.
I ran into this problem before when I tried to update the touchscreen firmware through the menus via
3845#801#
My screen would go unresponsive, but after 10 mins and a couple of reboots, it would work back (my guess is that it reverted to the old touch firmware).
This time though, the touchscreen seems to be permanently disabled. Anyone else running into this issue?

Hey guys,
So I just got the G3 last week, and an update rolled out from AT&T. Me being the idiot I am thought it was the Lollipop update so I updated it. Turns out, it was just 10f.
Then when I looked for ways to root the G3, all the methods required the software to be on 10d, not f.
What should I do?
Any help is much appreciated.
Use the bruteforce method in Stump root.

This is what I would do. It is possible you got a bad OTA as well. Did you factory reset after the OTA? I have seen many cases on forums where a factory reset takes care of many issues after an OTA.

I don't know man, do you have the correct app installed? Mine went through smoothly in less than 5 minutes.
I just did this - now i am trying to bump the device. So my memory is relatively fresh
Reboot for fresh start - Run Stump - it will say device not supported - try brute force - let it run - takes 5 - 7 and maybe 10 min after which it says "reboot" device - then go ahead and reboot device. Run stump again - it should say device is rooted. Next download "root checker" it will say rooted. Ofcourse if this all does not go thru - you can downgrade to a previous firmware and it'll go easier - however that's more labor intensive and you'll not be able to back up the current ROM with all your apps and setup.
Well, I ended up having to flash back to 10d as mentioned by many of you. This fixed the problem!

I was going to use the SuperSu to do the Full unroot. If I did that, then installed the current Verizon OTA, could I then re-root using pingpong? Or does this OTA disable the ability to root again? I've read so many posts and articles from various sources, some say yes, some say no. The more I dig the more conflicting info I find.
The only reason I rooted in the first place was to swap out the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm curious if the OTA will wipe that moded file out. But that's probably another discussion.
Thanks
I rooted first and a day later took ota. After ota pingpong root just needed to "download data" or whatever then root worked fine.

I think what you are talking about is you were rooted and tried to take the Ota and it wouldn't install correct? If that's the case, yeah you have to unroot or Odin the new version then reboot.

That did the trick! Thanks so much. It worked just like it should have. Afterwards I did have to rerun pingpong, but that took about 2 seconds and I'm back to normal now with the update. Thanks a million!
I did that, as I usually do when I sell my phones.... It bricked it and I could reinstall stock.
Unrooting options
To summarize the unrooting options:
1. Unroot with SuperSu - By some reports this method does not work
2. Odin stock rom - Wipes the device and data, ?trips knox?
3. Use the Verizon Update Utility - Upgrades the devices to latest OTA
I am on 5.02 Stock (AOC3), rooted, Knox not tripped.
I am really not interested in wiping my device or updating to the latest OTA.
What I want to do is *temporarily* unroot to see if I can get Android Pay working again.
Has anyone had any luck with method 1 above? If android pay and your credit cards are activated/verified while unrooted, can you then re-root and still have Android Pay work?
I really miss using Android Pay... but not enough to lose root!!!
If you go into the superuser app and click the enable superuser to turn it off you can activate a card with android pay. You won't lose root this way.
I did that with my bank card and once my card was listed in Android pay I reenabled superuser and everything works fine.
I'm also using root cloaker but I don't know if it's needed.

Is your android pay still working? I was able to use Android pay for only a short period ~1 day. Now I get the message "This card cannot be used right now" It doesn't matter what card I use or whether SuperSU is enabled. Maybe it is detecting SuperSU itself.
What app / procedure did you use for cloaking? Did it trip your knox?

If I'm correct, the Token needs to refresh from time to time. It may be that that process is detecting the root.
I'd try the Root Cloak he mentioned.
I have Sony Xperia m2 aqua rooted. Because lack of internal memory I used link2sd to link all user apps to sd card. Today there are New software update, and I really want to update. Can I Just update it normally? Are there Will be problems with my linked apps? Thanks.
You can try to update, it's unlikely to have problems with apps but very likely to not update because you have root. Probably you'll get error "update not successful, you have modified system bla, bla, bla"
Good Luck!

If you update by PC Companion or Flashtool you will loose root access.

Can I Just unroot, update, then root the device again? Are there Will be problem with my link2sd?
Best of flashing the updated ftf, as even though you've unrooted system is still modified
A bit of a similar situation here.
I own an M2 D2303. I rooted with Towelroot (so I assume this means my bootloader is still locked because I have not done anything to it). I'm currently running Jellybean, and I'm stuck with it cause OTA updates won't work now. I rooted to remove useless apps that came with the phone back when it was tied to a carrier. I also removed some stock Sony apps (like Album because it was buggy (at least it was back then)). But apart from that, I haven't done much else to the phone. I haven't installed custom ROMs.
Anyway, I've found and downloaded an FTF file for stock Lollipop (18.6.A.0.175) and I'm worried something might go wrong if I flash this with Flashtool because I'm running a previous version of Android (not sure if this matters but I'm worried because all the guides I've found online seem to imply that returning to stock ROM means returning to stock ROM of the current version the phone is running or downgrading, but I haven't found any that suggest upgrading). Will this be safe? At this point I don't really think I'd mind losing root privileges as long as I don't brick my phone.
