[Q] need info on Arc S update to 4.1.B.0.587

Hi all,
I recently got a notification from sony to update my Arc S (LT18i) to the latest firmware 4.1.B.0.587.
Currently I am on 4.1.B.0.431 firmware with my phone rooted.
I wanted to know, if I update my phone to the latest firmware, will it brick my phone? Do I need to root my phone again after the update?
Kindly advice me.
Thanks in advance.

No
yes.

my english is so bad,sorry. website have a lot root method.such as dooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit v16(it can be used to unlock& lock,but you must But you have to see the supported models and version number does not meet your compliance.(The latest version can be used basically)
Or flash kernel with Recovery,then flash the root package.(phone must be unlocked).
This is what I copied a paragraph:
this WILL WORK on both LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER DEVICES!
beginning from v13 now you only need to be on the corresponding firmware! any customization SHOULD work
FROM [S/Ion/AcroS][ROOT] DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (v16) {perf_event exploit}[20130706
Notice: you mus installed driver before root!

Hi all,
I have a new xperia z1 compact with the mobile branding on Android 4.3. There are some root features which I used on my old xperia s. But I want to use the pre-installed stock ROM on my z1c.
So my question is: is is possible to root the pre-installed ROM and preserve the capability of updating my phone from Sony?
