2 quick questions please. Will I lose ROOT, TWRP, X-Posed_______________ by flashing this and, when it says "download", will it install automatically too or just stick the file somewhere so I can use Chainfire's app to install it without losing ROOT?
I appreciate the help. Thanks

You can't update it when it's rooted, it will fail when installation started.

Thanks

Will it then still have the file saved so I can use Chainfire's app to install it do you know?

You can not install it any way.

There's a way it can update being root.. like you say, with chainfires flashfire

You can't update it, even with flashfire. But you can only flash whole updated stock firmware, and then flash root.

[Q] OTA Update Question [Xperia T]

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.

Try to flash the su binary once again or change to another ROM. That might solve the issue(not sure)
Superuser

Secondary Update

I'm on 4.4.4, rooted and ruining great. Tonight I have another update trying to push to my phone. Anyone know what this one could be? I'm betting root kill.

There's still a workaround to root actually. I'm not sure what it does, but I'm about to install it now.

Let me know how it goes. I just want the update reminder to go away.
I got the update. It's NI2. Didn't root. Still stock. All I can say is VPN is still broken. So ridiculous.
Very suspicious saying the already in use 4.4.4 allows use of advanced calling 1.0 seems like verizon forgot to kill root and is making another attempt

You are flasshing an older firmware. Install samfirm then you can download the latest
The problem is that you are trying to downgrade from a version "3" bootloader (3DPA5) to one that is version "2" (2ERH3). Odin (and Samsung) won't allow this. Once you have upgraded your bootloader, you can't roll back.
There are ways to get around this limitation using TWRP and a custom ROM for the downgrade, followed by Odin, but it is complex. You should simply select appropriate firmware with the correct bootloader.

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
