Hi Friends, here is my latest contribution for the Z1 Compact community, hope you find it useful

What you get:
Flashable Zip File - for Updating your rom with custom recovery (TWRP). This is rooted with SuperSu (2.46) and comes with latest
XZDualRecovery (2. 8.23) bundled.

Install:
1. Download file
2. Copy flashable-prerooted-signed.zip to your sdcard
3. Boot to recovery (USE TWRP NOT Philz!!!!! If PhilzTouch Recovery used, you WILL loose Root!!!) and install flashable-prerooted-signed.zip

[MKRashka]

what's the difference to 14.6.A.1.216?
I can't find an update log on Sony's page

Nice to know, i have removed xposed before i flashed cuz i was afraid of bootloops

For that, I always do a backup in twrp before flashing
If it loops, I go back to backup and then do it step by step

Flashed the firmware using recovery, now I'm unrooted. No more recovery either. Any ideas?

Did you flash with Philz Touch Recovery? Then this was the culprit.
I did this two times and lost root and recovery as you
The recommended recovery to use is TRWP.

Is there any way to re-try without having to wipe and downgrade? I don't want to unlock my bootloader and lose features either.

I've had the exact same problem. I also had the Philz Touch Recovery installed. After the update both Recovery and Root were gone. I've found an APK called KingRoot to regain Root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12586

I've installed it on my Xperia Z1 Compact (there where a few security warnings). Root access will return, but I'm still trying to figure out how to boot into Recovery

Hi dude i think you just have to install a recovery again, by the install.bat from your PC (or install.sh for apple) for example from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 and you'll have your recovery back.

Thanks!
This did the trick.
First I've replaced KingRoot with SuperSu: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
And then I've installed DualRecovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647480

@elvispr Glad to be helpful !
Yes there even is a xda thread for replacing kingroot with super su http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/super-su-xperia-device-lollipop-easy-t3119006

Coming from 14.6.A.0.368, nothing to report except it changed my "4G" icon for a "LTE" one, everything works fine, i didn't loose root nor recovery !

Thanx to you @ThreeMMM !

If your icon has changed that means you've flashed different customization of ROM (ie. you were on CE1, now you're on DE) - but that's not a problem

If someone already did with Philz, can get again Root Permission with Kingroot. It works.

Just flashed, clean install through TWRP, everything working as it should be... Thanks OP!
