No,root will be there. Even system didnt reboot after update. So u can update.
But i want to know this update is for what?

I got it, guessing it's just a security patch. Not noticed anything different.

EDIT. I downloaded the 1.1MB update, nothing new was changed. However something very weird happened to my Z2 after this update.
I powered off the phone to recharge to full after the update installed. I powered it on after immediately unplugging after it said 100%, and lines appeared on the screen at first boot. I did not see the Xperia logo, the Powered by Android, and the boot animation. I did get to the lockscreen, homescreen, and apps fine. NO LINES APPEARED THROUGHOUT THE INTERFACE, ONLY ON THE BOOTUP SEQUENCE. I was able to play games fine, but the screen is now in an alarmingly yellow tint. This only happens when the digitiser does whack.
I restarted the phone again, and the Xperia, Powered by Android, and Boot animations appeared normal, and the Yellowish tint has disappeared throughout.
Now I'm worried if the digitiser is whack or this is just a one time thing. I need to reiterate, this has absolutely NOT HAPPENED BEFORE THE MAINTENANCE UPDATE WAS INSTALLED. Make of that what you will I guess.

I m just feeling I have more free RAM now as compared to before.

I have the same notification, both actually: the first one 23.5.A.1.291 and the second one 1.1.A.0.1 with my Xperia Z2
I updated it with the 1.1.A.0.1, it's OK, the phone don't reboot and I don't loose root and xposed modules.
But I don't want to update with the 23.5.A.1.291. I don't want to lose root, xposed, and root apps (it was hard for me to have them on my phone (and I don't know why I can't access anymore to recovery, with locked bootloader)).
Strange thing: Build number is already on 23.5.A.1.291, it ask me to update to the same version

Yep, it just installs a new storage app. Not sure what it does. Might have something to do with SDCard or OTG compatibility.

Check the Android security patch level in Settings -> About. I believe the .291 build only includes 1 May 2016

Anyone had battery drain issues since the update?
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Its related to the internal storage checking and notification .

I did get this update 2 times in the last week. All is normal for me and the battery is the same.

Why not fasttrack 4.4.3, or won't that fix this so-called battery drain? Mine does not suffer from this battery drain.

I hope not, that would mean there is a really bad security flaw. There is a fine way for rooting (unlocking the bootloader) no need for more.

Those who got the device with a locked bootloader knew what that would imply and what they are getting into.
Now you, with a locked bootloader, wish that there will be a big security flaw for all devices (also the unlockable) just so that you have an easy root? That is really selfish.
Go back to 4.1.2, root, via any simple 1 click method, allow ota updates, done. Simple. Rooted 4.4.2 no bl unlock required.

Dear Technaudio,
how does one go back to 4.1.2?
I really want to go back, these new updates are doing the Z no good as far as i know. The UI looks worse, the camera makes a chirping sound when started fast and now the battery drains like a moterh****er too.
One thing I keep hearing which does not make sense is what is this battery drain that everyone keeps complaining about, I have had no problems since updating to Kitkat. What is normally recommended when doing and upgrade like this is to do a factory reset when you flash so you start fresh, that's what I did and I have not had one issue. I would say to guess this next update to come won't fix the problems you are having or it will create new issues as each update does. When I flash this next update I will be wiping all user data and apps and starting again as that is the easiest way to make sure any new issues don't affect your phone. I get no lag no battery drain no Google server issues nothing my update that I have is the best update Sony has done to date. If you are having these issues factory reset your phone and I bet you 100% all your issues will be gone!!!

Flash a .FTF file using flashtool.
Search the forum (XZ forum) for 4.1.2 .FTF roms, flash your device and done.
Be careful tho because if you don't untick that you want to keep your files, you will lose everything on your memory (SD card not included I believe)

They do go, until they start again! Just like with the original Devices bug, you could reset and it will be gone until something triggers the same wake lock.

I'm currently on a custom rom at the moment, I've not tried with 4.4.2 yet, as it only got released for UK in the last few days, but it's worked for every ota update before. However, if you've changed anything in /system it will fail.
I will do it sometime soon as there's a few annoyances with this custom rom, as there always is, and I've never had any problems with stock and root by doing it this way.

New Update certified - 14.6.A.1.236

I guess there is a new update certified on PTCRB. I guess it's today.
It's surely a bug fix since it's only .236 from .216 changed.

New firmware 32.1.A.1.185

Just got the update. Don't know yet what's new.
Nothing visible so far, maybe some optimization and fix for the screen bug.
Only difference I can spot is that the network type (H/4G/LTE etc.) is now placed on the left of the reception bar instead of above it.

I hope this fixes the wired and bluetooth audio stuttering.

I tried updating with root and it failed. I also want to know if root is possible with thia update.
I'm using a rooted phone myself - while I use the DRM key emulation I know OTA updates will most likely fail so I will perform the upgrade manually.
Would anyone please check the Android security patch level?
If you go to System Settings - About phone. One entry says "Android security patch level" which is February 1st on the .163 version. Did this one increase maybe?
If so, it would be worth the hassle with Flashtool and rerooting and such for me to upgrade.

Nougat 7.0 is available!

Finally Nougat 7.0 is available for G5 Sprint! Check OTA to get it.

It's kinda odd the source hasn't been posted nor has Sprint update their updates page. I still installed it. Not sure what I think yet.....I know I hate the menu from holding the recent app button is gone. And I hate they are now using the google emojis. Liked the LG ones much better. Themes do work or least the ones included. the default and two others. They do turn the system menus black. w00t w00t

Just installed it. Not thrilled that they moved the clear all apps button to the top of the page screen. Also the lock screen looks weird. All stuff I'm sure I'll get used to. Except for the clear all button. That's some mad bs.
I like it so far. It seems smoother and more responsive.
