The is no root exploit available for that version, you'll need to unlock your BL (and lose DRM's), flash a kernel with recovery and flash supersu zip, OR downgrade to an exploitable version, root it, install nut's dual recovery and then install a pre-rooted .200 rom (no BL unlock needed this way).

I successfully rooted my Xperia Tablet Z1 using TowelRoot
My question now is how can I install custom firmware or recovery. Do I need to unlock the bootloader too? can anyone recommend me how to install?
thanks

You cannot install custom roms unless you unlock your bootloader. It is possible however to install a special type of recovery called xzdualrecovery without unlocking.
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.

Sorry if this question was asked before but i wanna know if there is a methot to root sony Xperia z ultra 5.0 lollipop,model C6833 with firmware 14.5.A.0.242. If anyone knows a good way to root it please post it here. TThanks in advace!
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

Did you search?
If you did youbwould know you can
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. Downgrade to 5.0 and root with kingroot
3. Downgrade to 4.4 and use towelroot

There is no root method for 5.1.1 except downgrading and then flashing pre-rooted ROM of 5.1.1.. Just did this and was pretty easy
downgrade your firmware to the rootable one (17.1.2.A.0.314) which is 4.4.2 via flashtool and very easy to root
Then install dual recovery
Then flash the latest already rooted zip file of 5.1.1(.46 build) from development section
here is all files you need

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.
