Well using the XperiFirm, you can really see which model/version got the 10.6.A.0.454, and download it.

C6502 - Customized US
Working on an C6503 Device (No LTE/4G, of course).
I haven't receive anything yetAnyone got the update for C6503?
Just try if it doesn't work it will revert and say update failed.If I am on 4.4.4 (.292) on my C6506 USA Generic and have root, will the OTA update work? I don't necessarily care about keeping root, I just don't want the update to fail. Will it work?
Actually, the root itself is pretty simple (I used PRFcreator with SuperSU, worked like a charm; Kingroot didn't work). If you want to add Xposed, then it becomes a pain in the rear to go through all the steps. And, of course, the big problem is that there is no working recovery yet for LB...Locked bootloader root guides are quite extensive.
Why? You can follow the guide to create a prerooted or even use my guide how to root if you have a unlocked bootloader... It's not that hard. And as serajr said you can install the busybox (stericson) to be able to use Xposed. In a few steps: fastboot boot.img -> recovery -> flash SU and flash busybox -> power off -> flash kernel from the new firmware -> power on till fully booted -> power off -> fastboot boot.img -> recovery -> flash xposed -> power off -> flash kernel from the new firmware -> power on -> done.Up and running so far smooth as never before. Not even the CM12 was so smooth. Missing root only.
You're right I saw the xposed steps!Actually, the root itself is pretty simple (I used PRFcreator with SuperSU, worked like a charm; Kingroot didn't work).

I'm on a locked Bootloader not to lose the Mobile Bravia engine. I will wait a while to have a method for locked Bootloader. Thank you!Why?

If you only need root (not xposed) just flash SU and the kernel, done. Not that hard, right?
Just relock your BL after the process...I'm on a locked Bootloader not to lose the Mobile Bravia engine. I will wait a while to have a method for locked Bootloader. Thank you!
I will not lose root after locking the bootloader? Tested this process?Just relock your BL after the process...
I tested that on kitkat and it worked well!I will not lose root after locking the bootloader? Tested this process?
I try soon. Thanks![emoji2]I tested that on kitkat and it worked well!
I backed up TA partition, unlocked the bootloader, flashed a custom kernel with recovery, booted into recovery, flashed SU, then flashed back original kernel and relocked bootloader with TA restore.
Didn't loose root, didn't loose bravia, didn't loose DRM-keys.
I will do the same when lollipop arrives for my device.
The option is there (of course, for downloaded apps only, not for the built-in ones), but I can't comment on how it works, as I have no need for it, and haven't tried it...Does lollipop give you option to move apps to sd card?
root + Xposed fully operational. Bootloader locked, MB2 working. Thank you!I tested that on kitkat and it worked well!
