Rooting and updating

truce — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:33:36 GMT

I would like to manually upgrade my SP with a compatible firmware ( i m in the UK, is the Australian one ok??)

i would like to know if

Do i have to root my Mobile in order to manually upgrade it?
After the upgrade is it going to be a problem to come back to normal and install the proper UK one when released?

I really want to use 4G since i use my SP as an hotspot to have an internet connection at home.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader if you flash an offical ROM.
