Hi,
To flash any pre-rooted FW you need to be rooted yourself with working recovery.
Are you rooted?
If not , you need to be which means either down grading to 4.4.2 then rooting ( Towel root ) installing recovery ( NUTS ) and then flashing your pre-rooted zip FW.
If you have an unlocked bootloader you needn't downgrade, flash ANDROPLUS kernel ( has recovery ) and flash FW zip.

Hello,
I'm Yazan and I'm new to this developing stuff. I had an old Samsung that I used to play with and rooted it but moving to the Xperia z2 was a big upgrade. I have very low experience and would love to root my Xperia z2. I have updated it to the generic lollipop update and would like to know if there is a way to root it. And also could I downgrade to 4.4.4 KitKat root it and install a rooted 5.0 stock ROM?
Thanks for the help. I'll be waiting. :fingers-crossed:
You need to downgrade it to 4.4.2 Kitkat, root it, install Dualrecovery, and then flash a prerooted lollipop firmware via recovery.
Please search the forum for how to do it..

... So I could flash (downgrade) a stock 4.4.2 ROM directly from 5.0.2 using flashtool, then root it and install dual recovery then flash the 5.0 pre rooted rom using the recovery? And btw my bootloader is locked should I unlock it first.

No need to unlock bootloader... Just do as you said...
The intention of downgrading firmware is to gain root without unlocking bootloader.

Haha, thanks I'm sort of new... Thanks though. and which ROM should I choose... 17.1.2.A.0.314 or 17.1.1.A.0.402. My device is D6503
You may use 17.1.2.A.0.314 to downgrade.

If yoy have recovery on your phone, try flashing the stock prerooted lollipop made by @niaboc79 found in android development.
if you dont have recovery, you can try out the dual recoovery by @Nut, located in original android development.
hope this helps

You could also update to your lollipop again,
Get these things ready
- latest supersu flashable zip
- flashable lollipop supported kernel of your device
download any supported lollipop kernel of your device with recovery , extract the img and flash it using flashtool. After flashing the img, unplug the phone, power it and enter recovery. Now flash the kernel zip again, then flash the superSU zip and reboot. Now you have recovery and root working perfectly.
Just a heads up. Flashing custom kernel requires a unlocked bootloader.

You'll need to downgrade your Z2 to Android 4.4.4. Then you need to install root + a costum recovery. Then download the pre-rooted Firmware and install it via recovery.

I'm afraid that we don't have "one click root" right now.
You would have to downgrade back to 4.4.4 (with root and custom recovery) and flash a pre-rooted 5.0
This guide worked for me.
Thanks but the thing is that i am allready in 5.0 and i don't have a rooted device....so...how can i di that downgrade in order to root it?

There is a section there when you are already on 5.0.
I too was already on 5.0 and no root but following this guide, I now have a rooted 5.0.1.
Basically, the steps are:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Download 4.4.4 FTF and use Flash Tool to downgrade your phone
3) Root and install custom recovery on your downgraded phone (you should already be on 4.4.4 by this time)
4) Download 5.0.1 FTF and create a pre-rooted flashable 5.0 using prefCreator
5) Flash your pre-rooted 5.0
Read the guide, you can never get lost.
Thanks a lot!!

I don't remember if you need UB to flash ftf
Flash kitkat ftf
Use easy root guide
Install recovery
You can flash an official Sony ROM via recovery and it comes pre rooted
Hey guys So i've been trying to root my xperia z2 for 2 days now but I have some difficulties. Android version is 5.1.1 and build number is 23.4.A.1.264. I tried to root with easy root app and kingroot but it just does not work.I'll be really thankful if you give me some advice
it seems you cannot root with the current rom , you need to flash a pre-rooted ftf rom using flashtool .

You need to downgrade to a different version to root. Try the search button, there are a lot of threads here about rooting because is people like yourself.

No need to use kingroot. Downgrading to 4.4.2 (build 314) will allow the XZDR to temporarily root and install the recovery and when the phone reboots you install the prerooted package and its done.
