No. You will need to flash upgrade via FTF or TWRP.

1- Do I need to unroot the phone(xperia L) and relock the bootloader to flash the stock rom?
2-Does flashing the stock rom removes CWM(I want to remove it)?
Thank's in advance!
you can return to stock firmware using FLASH TOOL for xperia ( google it )
With this you can lock the bootloader but before that flash the stock rom @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642
and yes flashing stock rom with FLASH TOOL will also remove CWM
hit thanks if that helped because today i also returned to stock rom

Xperia l update
Hello guys. I'm new to this forum and i have one simple question.
I have an Xperia L c2105 rooted and with unlocked bootloader. Today when I connected it to my pc i received a notification from PC Companion with an update. I couldn't update it because the program said that I have a modified software or something like that.
Can I update my phone without losing root and with the bootloader unlocked? If i flash the stock rom update do i lose root and my bootloader will be locked?
PS: Sorry for my english, i hope you can help me deal with this...:good:
C'mon guys no one can help me?

Firstly,updates via pc companion or SUS requires lock bootloader..if you have TA backup just restored it and it will be updated officially.
Second...Flashing new firmware will erased everything and your bootloader still will be unlocked if throu flashtool..
Third...when using flashtool, there are a few choices you can make like saving your data and etc but its recommended to wipe everything..
your data etc can be backup using 3rd party app..
The easiest way to root is using extended stock kernel v6 kernel..It has built in root and its binaries..
Thank you very much. I didn't save TA when I unlocked the bootloader so I assume that I can't get it locked. So in this case I will do the update trough flashtool. After flashing the update I will just restore root. Have a nice day

But I do not want recovery my device..
you cannot root a lollipop rom, you have to downgrade to KK, root it then upgrade again to a rooted lollipop rom, only way it via a flashable zip that can only be installed by using one of the 2 recoveries
why don't you want a recovery?

Not true. If you keep the locked bootloader and install a recovery you can still get official updates. But you will lose root, however you will always lose root of you officially update regardless of if you have recovery of not
Yes, but to apply the update you need a stock recovery.

I still do not want recovery .. it does not work as good like the original version ..
A root and a custom recovery is good to backup and most important : RESTORE a working version of the ROM in case of a soft brick.
But it is your choice.

I still prefer only root .. my old phone (Xperia s) made it only root .. no recovery or things like that .. This is the most recommended in my opinion but I do not know when in the new version of z3 came out with only root .. I'm really looking forward to it
I've uploaded a screenshot of my phone's information.. Ty to those who will help

If its stock firmware u can use OTA unless you have uninstalled update service software.
Else download XperiFirm_4.7.3_(by_Igor_Eisberg) software. from this, download the firmware for your phone model and create ftf using latest flashtool then flash it using flashtool

But doesn't install
I have download_package.bin file how I can
Install it manually and lots of thanks for you
Sorry for bad english
You need to flash the ftf.. AFAIK the update centre updates do not work after bootloader unlock or something..

Yes, this is true, after unlocking bootloader Sony Update Center complains about "modified software". You need the ftf (search on xda for xperia l ftf 15.3.a.1.17)
