Easiest way is unlocking your bootloader>flash recovery>flash root
(this voids your warrenty)
Without losing your DRM keys and keeping your bootloader you can do this
1. Downgrade firmware using flashtool (and FTF)

2. Root and install recovery
~backup ur TA while rooted
3. Flash 167 pre-rooted rom
4. Flash a 167 fw FTF excluding data and system

I dont want to unlock bootloader at the moment.. Just want to Root with latest 4.0.2.A.0.42..
Please guide me since I am new to Xperia sets and I know enough about HTC sets...

Flash a Pre-rooted stock rom is currently the only way
Search before post and open a new thread with this kind of questions and i start to think some of you dont do that and just are lazy !
Check the Xperia Z2 Android Developement and flash a 4.4.4 pre-rooted zip in Recovery !!

If its android 5.1.1 then you will need to downgarde to 5.0.2 or better 4.4.2 by downloading ftf firmwaire files and then flashing it by using flashtool then you can easily root, install NUT dual recovery and then can flash any pre rooted 5.1.1 ROM from development section
