You first need root. Rooting is only possible with old firmware. With root you can install recovery. Then you can install rom.

How do I simply get root back afer the update?

Unlock bootloader, and then either use cf-autoroot or flash latest SuperSU BETA through twrp.

Thanks, bootloader is already unlocked. I don't really want to install any custom recoveries, so the cf-autoroot sounds like the way to go.
Do you have a link for how to use this method?

to use a custom recovery you don't need to flash it.. just boot it.

Maxen,
You will have to restore to stock RECOVERY and possibly also stock SYSTEM.
I had the same situation, unlocked bootloader does not impact this. But the SYSTEM and RECOVERY definately has to be stock for the OTA flash to work.

Can I unlock bootloader on 5.1.1 eXistenZ rom?

How can I unlock the bootloader on my rooted 5.1.1 d6603 eXistenZ rom without having to loose all my data? And if that's not possible, then how can I unlock the bootloader period? Does it matter if you're rooted and can you do it while on 5.1.1?

You always lose data when you unlock the bootloader.
It does not matter what ROM you are on or if you are rooted.
Any ROm that works on locked bootloader also works on unlocked bootloader
To unlock the bootloader go here http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Will I loose root and my dual recovery and if so is there root for 5.1.1? Thanks for the help.

No, (well you shouldn't) as root and recovery are installed to the system. Unlocking the boot does wipe data though.
And if once you have an unlocked bootloader you can always root any firmware on any android version. That's the main reason to unlock the bootloader. You will also be able to delete recovery from your system and have a custom kernel with recovery built into it.

Hi,
I assume you have a TWRP recovery installed?
I used the SuperSu (Systemless) (attached) and it has worked fine.

Then flash supersu. I would use the adb command to unlock that boot loader asap.
