Not at this moment no, but it appears that a pre-rooted zip isn't far off.

This rooting method doesn't work on latest 4.4.4 for Z2
Sent from my D6503
Is it the latest 4.4.4 for Z2? And is it pre rooted? Which means can I flash this on my locked Z2?

Please, let me know when it will be possible to ROOT 23.0.1.A.0.167 Stock fw with locked bootloader. I will be very grateful.

You will likely be waiting some time, because it's possible to downgrade and flash pre-rooted zip or to OTA certain FW's maintaining root, I don't see devs putting a lot of effort into finding an exploit. That said best hope is probably an exploit being found for Z3 which is transferable to Z2, but as I say you may be waiting some time.
So what you recommend to do if i want to have root on 167?

Try to create a rooted update package from the update ftf: [4.4.4] Create ROOTED update package from stock FTF [LOCKED BOOTLOADER]
So I need to flash dual recovery to do that
How can I make a full stock backup just in case I need to use it for warranty?

You don't need, you can flash back an original ftf anytime or repair with Sony PC Companion. We are talking locked bootloadr, so until you don't unlock it, you have warranty.
But if you already have root on prev. firmware, you should install DualRecovery and boot into TWRP and you can backup your system there.

I just bought the phone and I really miss root hehe so if I don't unlock the bootloader I can change recovery and flash a stock root rom without losing warranty?

Yes, if you have older firmware on the phone, you can try the root options available and you can use recovery without unlocking th bootloader. If you have the latest, than you can possibly flash an older firmware to your phone and root that. But you need to read a bit, to understand everything correctly.

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
You need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom Kernel.Here's a kernel you can try [KERNEL][D6502/D6503/D6543] AndroPlusKernel v70.

Unfortunately, when I tried it, it doesn't work. It just terminates (bricks) my phone completely. I'm wondering what I did wrong. I admit that I'm still a beginner at this and has a lot to learn.
Edit: I'll tell you the specs of my phone so you can get an idea.
Rooted it with Kingroot (which has SU binary)
Build No. 23.1.A.1.28 (Android 5.0.2)
Model No. D6503

To root your phone just flash a supersu zip via a recovery.

To overlook you need a new kernel as the clockspeeds are in the kernel somewhere.
Can you explain what you have done? What rom your on? Stock? How you flash the kernel? And how you know your bootloader is unlocked?

I followed instructions carefully on the official website. I downgraded (flashed back) my phone into 5.0.2 stock. First, I plug my USB and put the ZIP file on the INTERNAL memory, second, I went into one of my recovery menu (TWRP) and flashed my kernel but when I tried to reboot to system, it just terminates my phone (Unfortunately NFC Services have stopped etc etc.) leaving me into an endless loop until my battery runs out. But fortunately I have a back up.

2-Install twrp? (do i need root to install it?)
3-Root it from twrp? (How do i do that?)

You don't need to root Lollipop to install a custom ROM. In case you just want to root lollipop, download the super user zip file. Just google it. Launch TWRP and install the zip file. That's all.

I have been trying this method but doesn't seems to work, I already changed the name of the twrp img file but nothing :crying: any suggests?
You need to tell it where the file is located, the easiest way to do this is to put the TWRP file in a folder and then hold down the shift key and right click with your mouse inside the folder you put the file in. You should see an option to open command window here. Select this and try flashing TWRP again. It should work. Here is an explanation with pictures of what I was talking about with the open command window here http://michaelcrump.net/power-tip-for-windows-users-open-command-prompt-here/
Hi all,
I am looking for a dump of the recovery partition for the MYA-L11.
I have installed twrp but neglected to take a dump of the stock recovery!
There is an firmware update possibly due for my device so I want to be able to revert to stock when it becomes available.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Ok, my bad! Not possible of course, as one would need to be rooted to do this and to root one needs a custom recovery!!
Ok then does anyone know where I can download the stock firmware for this device? I have searched high and low but no firmware yet available!
Found it here thanks to @SGS3_0, again!

U can FLASH TWRP in E-Recovery by FlashTool (look for memory adress in scatter-file).
It is save stock recovery for updates. It'work. I tested.

"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted ??" - it's just a picture in "logo.bin". I've relaced it to anoher picture... in my "logo.bin".
"and he automatically reboot and same evrything again did" - I haven't this problem. Try to update firmware or re-flash ur phone by SP flashtool...
