Have you try? Keep us updated!

A new firmware update is currently rolling out for the Xperia Z (C6603). New firmware version 10.1.1.A.1.253 is still based on Android 4.1.2, but is said to bring a number of improvements including performance enhancements, white balance display calibration, soft keys and nav bar changed to black (instead of grey) as well as an option to disable the notification light amongst other things.

If not wrong if you use normal rooting updating it have no much issue. Just you might lose your root system that all. Now they added the white balance for your Z no rooting is needed

For me, the contrast/brightness does not look as vibrant as before.

PS: Does anyone realise that the white balance will remain @ 224.3DEG hue even after I set it @ 225DEG?

Are you on unlocked bootloader? I want to confirm that root can be retained / achieved before I update.

Use the white balance setting to adjust the screen to your liking.

To me, I find the same for keyboard as I use the Phonepad T9 and when you try to type "Ya" with T9 but it never appear, it only appear "Wa" or "Wc" which can be irritating.

I use the default Chinese keyboard in the end.

Cannot do it via OTA.

Need to use the PC software!

To be frank, I got no idea man!
It's a sinktel set and I rooted for the sake of root explorer and titanium backup.
