.182 update with root - Sony Xperia M2

Hello, i have a problem with installing .182 update for my M2 D2303. My M2 have brand (i finally got update today), root and blocked bootloader. I tried flashing zip in flash tool, but it just normally rebooted, and nothing changed. Is there any way to update it?

Updates won't work on rooted or bootloader unlocked devices. Flash ftf via flashtool or a pre-rooted zip via recovery

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can't update via OTA.
You'll need tui flash ftf via flashtool once it's available on Sony servers updates don't work once rooted or your bootloader is unlocked

How to Create a self rooted Firmware for Xperia Z3 with locked BL?

I already know how to flash with the "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde".
I also know how i can get the latest Firmware for my Device with the XperiFirm Downloader.
I also know how i can update/Upgrade with the Sony Mobile Flasher without Data loss.
But i dont know how i can integrate the Root Files in the Firmware which should be flashed.
What i have:
XPERIA Z3 with locked Boot Loader (Running 23.4.A.1.264)
"PC with Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde"
What i want:
A flashable Firmware 23.4.A.1.264 with integrated root without unlocking the bootloader.
So how i can integrate this in my Firmware?
Look in the cross device development section for the PRFCreator thread
And FYI, you will never be able to flash a pre-rooted firmware with flashtool, you have to be already rooted with a custom recovery to flash it.

can i flash a d6633 ftf on d6603? temporarily

I had a D6633 device and i just exchanged it with DD6603... i want to flash a prerroted MM rom, the problem is the friend i exchanged it with let it automatically update to MM, so i have to downgraded root and recovery then flash MM prerooted
my question is, it takes sometime to download 1.6 Giga's , and i already had an LP ftf for D6633, obviously network wont work, but is it possible temporarily , flash D6633 root it and recovery, then from recovery flash a D6603 Prerooted rom.
is that possible and wont effect the device?
OK this can be deleted now, download finished , although i might try it as theory sometime...

Help

I flashed a Xperia Z3 stock rom with root and recovery. I do not want root or recovery anymore, if I flashed the latest 6.0.1 ftf file using flashtool, would root and recovery go away from my phone?
Thank You

Mate 9 Pro, OTA after root & TWRP

What would be correct method to get OTA installed when current system is rooted and gave TWRP recovery? Rooted TWRP system still offers OTA updates but these can’t be installed coz update is not TWRP compatible.
Once I tried: Extracted stock recovery from update stock firmware, flashed recovery.img & recovery2.img with fastboot. Still I was not able to get update installed anymore. Ended up to install whole new firmware with FunkyHuawei.
Is there any way to update phone without losing all data and install everything again?
