Here's the latest official update from Sony. It's the second 5.1.1 release, and it looks like a bugfix release. The version here is the German version (yes, it'll work on all devices). Works on both locked and unlocked bootloaders.
Root and recovery must be installed separately if that should be desirable.
- Download ROM (FTF) (1.3GB) (Google Drive)
- NUT Dual Recovery
- SuperSU (Flash in recovery)
How did you install the recovery on this one sir?

- If you have an unlocked bootloader then just hotboot (not flash) a kernel with recovery, then flash the ZIP and reboot
OR
- Use the Windows-installer from the thread
- If you have a locked bootloader, then use the Installer too. It's all in that thread.

Thanks in advance.

I'll make this short. If you don't know how to navigate through a terminal, then you'll have to search and read about it, or use a different method. Note that you must have fastboot/ADB installed on your computer. This handy installer does the job for you.
- Download a random Z Ultra kernel with recovery, like this one
- Boot your device into fastboot
- Open a terminal and type "fastboot boot <kernel.img>
- Watch your device. It'll boot. Press VOL UP for recovery
- Flash NUT's DualRecovery ZIP
- Reboot
OR
- Download QuickIMG
- Boot into fastboot (VOL UP while you plug it to your computer)
- Does the app say "Connected"? If yes, continue.
- Choose the kernel you downloaded and press "hotboot/boot"
- Watch your device. It'll boot. Press VOL UP for recovery
- Flash NUT's DualRecovery ZIP
- Reboot
OR
- Use fastboot (terminal) or QuickIMG
- FLASH the kernel you downloaded
*It is compatible with this ROM, so you can choose to run this kernel. It has recovery.
- Reboot and you're done
The kernel i downloaded is a zip file.
Should i extract the the "boot.img" and flash it with adb or fastboot?
I really appreciate it sir. Thanks.

Yup, but just start by hotbooting it, and not flash. That way if something goes wrong, you'll just have to reboot since the kernel hasn't been flashed.
Any chance someone more skilled than myself could make this update prerooted for LB, that we can just flash over .368.... Please

You'll have to go through a painful guide. There is a guide in the general section, so read that before deciding if you want to flash it. You can also just flash a ROM that's pre-rooted. This ROM is mostly for those who aren't planning on rooting and those that have unlocked bootloaders, so sorry about that.
can i flash it on C6833?

That's a good question, when we flash the ROM it wouldn't touch the boot loader correct? Could you please upload it, I will see if I have the guts to flash it. Thank you

You can either root with kingroot and then replace kingroot with SuperSU (there is an app to do it) or revert to KitKat, root, install dual recovery and flash updated Roms.

Via flashtool, excluding everything, but kernel.
Steps (only for bootloader unlocked ZU's running 14.2.A.1.136):
1. Download and copy the latest SuperSU zip to your internal memory/SD card: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. Download my fixed kernel with dual recoveries from here: https://db.tt/0HagsJRy (The recoveries are taken from @[NUT]'s XZDualRecovery. All credits go to him.)
3. (If you already have 4.3, skip this step) Download and flash 14.2.A.1.136. The FTF's for different models are available in General and Android Development sections.
4. Once the FTF is flashed correctly, flash the downloaded kernel image from Step 2 using this fastboot command: "fastboot flash boot kernel-136-dual.img"
5. Reboot the phone ("fastboot reboot"). When the Sony logo appears and the LED turns violet, hold volume up until you get into Philz Touch [OR] hold volume down to enter TWRP.
6. Flash the SuperSU zip from Step 1.
7. Reboot and you're done.
IMPORTANT: If you use "Xposed Framework", you need this version for it to work on 4.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48484642&postcount=6846

It most likely does since I was using a C6833 kernel on my C6802 with no problems. The only difference among the models is the radio; we share the same firmware. Why don't you give it a try and report back?

My questions are:
1. My tablet is 5.0.2 atm, as far as I know I have to downgrade to be able to root?
2. If I need to downgrade I believe I need a FTF file, I have a LTE version which is bought in sweden. Do I need a specifik FTF file for my country or can I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741233to downgrade my tablet?

1. There is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461. But it ain´t give proper root and there is also some security concerns with it but your decision.
2. Yes. You need FTF file which is 4.4.2 firmware for you device. Latest rootable is 17.1.2.A.0.314. Here is download link for SGP 521 if you want. https://mega.co.nz/#!cN5ykLrL!0w38j4lWIHFm1rZdwexScG9Cpz2BghrSZPpLRkyTcL8 . However your link should work also.

There is no need to unlock bootloader if you just want to root your device. Bootloader unlocking is needed if you want to try custom kernels or roms that use custom kernels. And yes this work for your device also.

Yes you can downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware with locked bootloader. After that you don´t need kingroot to root your device because @[NUT]´s dualrecovery pc installer can root your device before it install custom recovery. After that you can flash prerooted firmware (= .zip file) with custom recovery. Usually prerooted stock roms has whole firmware including kernel. Their also include SuperSu and custom recovery. And there is no need to unlock your bootloader in any step for this unless you want to do that.
OK so I flashed a ftf file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3061431 I don't think its right as its for HK etc. A 4.4.2 ftf. 17.1.a.2.402 HK/sa/as/kw.
I was on 23.1.A.1.28 in the UK as O2 UK being the 4g network. But according to that thread the 23.1.a.1.28 I was on is generic HK so I'm confused. How can I get back to my original then? Thanks

OK thanks I did it without the ta partition like suggested but wasn't sure if it was 100% correct. Should all be fine though. I'm currently now rooted and all fine but what I want to do is have a Pre rooted flashable zip of my ftf I've made so it is my actual stock ROM I'm running. I've looked into the prfcreator but don't wanna do it and run the risk of bricking my z2 tab. Have you used prfcreator? I guess all I need is my ftf file to use. The most update supersu zip I want. And then I need to somehow have the xzdualrecovery.zip but not sure if that's all I need or if I need the current Sony signed kernel or what. Thanks

I have tried both ways. Including ta partition and excluding it. Both works just fine for me.

OK thanks I did it without the ta partition like suggested but wasn't sure if it was 100% correct. Should all be fine though.

Must admit reading up more looks pretty straight forward as I just use NUTz xzdualrecovery flashable zip as the recovery zip. I'm just unsure on whether I would need to check kernel otakernel modem and ltalabel for our device. Thanks

Depending what you want but if you include everything else but signing you end up to fully functional prerooted firmware.

No need to be sorry. You don't need to sign your zip because TWRP can handle unsigned zip files just fine. There is nothing wrong to sign your zip file but some times it can cause problems. Your choice.

By seeing a YouTube video i did flashed twrp and then rooted.. but now root not working in my phone. How to flash magisk?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
download magisk zip from here and magisk manager.Then flash magisk.zip in twrp and install magisk manager apk.
But,first remove super su from phone completely with help of super su app. As,there will be some traces.
