How to update 5.1.1 to rooted xperia ZR ?

Hello Guys,

I have xperia ZR C5502 rooted. I did it with  following method 

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

Now i am not able to update using OTA. Currently i am trying with PCC but currently when i am writing this thread update is still downloading.

If update is not working with PCC also then what should i have to do? How can i update my phone?

Note:-

1. I tried factory reset after root.

2. I also remove root access from king root app before factory reset.

3. I have remove some preinstalled app 1. Google + and another is like google news or something like that only no sony app.

Please help i am stucked.  Slightly_frowning_Face

Thanks.

What if you use MyXperia or AndroidDeviceManager to reset the phone? 

www.myxperia.sonymobile.com

or 

www.google.com/android/devicemanager

Hiii,

Thanks for your reply.

With android device manger it shows my current location perfectly if GPS is on.

and i think Myxperia is down or may not opening in my pc because PCC is downloading udates.

I have already activated my xperia in my phone.

But i have question is Is above things has any relation with update to 5.1.1 ?

Hii,

 

I never did it. But i read some tutorials today for it and also downloaded sony flash tool.

 

But it shows me phone is locked. So i have to unlock the bootloader but when i read risk for that it tells that i can not get future updates. Can i update future updates using flash tool?Untitled.png
