No. You must downgrade in order to root and install a custom recovery.

How to root the 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.232 wicozani
You have two methods.
1. For locked bootloader. Downgrade to any 5.0.2 ROM, e.g. 23.1.A.1.28 and root it via KingRoot and then install XZR Recovery and flash prerooted 5.1.1 zip
2. Unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, flash supersu.zip

How to downgrade? Can you please give me some tutorials on how to downgrade to 5.0.2? Thanks
yes, no problem, bro
At first download Flashtool 0.9.18.6: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4sYgaP5RMK0S1pzUnMzdWd3UnM/view
Then install it to C:\Flashtool
Get into this folder and you'll see "Drivers" folder . Run flashtool-drivers exe and select FlashTool driver and Xperia Z2 Driver
Download ROM for Z2
If you have D6503 download this ftf file https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0By-vo9NJkgzJVUo0dVNreFNvSjg&export=download
Run flashtool, let it settle.
Close it
If your download finished copy .ftf file to C:\Users\You\.FlashTool\Firmwares
Run Flashtool
Click lightning and click flashmode
Turn off your phone
If you'll see a prompt to connect phone, press vol down and connect it to PC via USB Cable.
Wait.
When you'll see flashing finished please unplug phone or sth like this, unplug and turn on

Hey,
Sorry for my english, but I need help with root. I had 23.1.A.1.28 unlock bootloader and did root it via KingRoot and then install XZR Recovery and flash prerooted 5.1.1 Lollipop 5.1.1 CE1 [.232] + ROOT + DUALRECOVERY. And now I have Lollipop 5.1.1 CE1 [.232] + ROOT + DUALRECOVERY but SuperSu when it must update binary files -> instalation failed.
SuperSu is in system but I can't change files permissions for example hosts in etc (Total Commander/ Root Explorer). AdAway host file copy failed. Earlier I had Android 6.0 but the battery discharged in 8h. So I came back to 5.1.1 ... Everything was working well before.

I installed generic 62. everything is fine. now I have rooted neo v with .62, without hampering boot loader. Thanks developers.
but one thing I doubt. is cwm included in the package? bcos I tried 2-3 times to boot in recovery by pressing the power button alongwith vol down. but not succeeded. phone booted normally. can anyone check & clear my doubt?

mine is rooted and installed cwm.
please respond mate.
i have Neo V
Edit: Done I have lock 62 rooted
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, for if it is useful to most people, we would have to download this rom and install it with a fw 42 that has CWM, or a fw 58 with CWM.
Install it as a common rom and it is not necesarry to do wipe.

no problem mate, thank you so much, it is working, 1000 tons of thanks,

Offtopic: you come from Spain, right?
i was there for 2 weeks in 2011, in Blanes & Barca
I want to ask because I think it is celar from what I can see that with this procedure it is impossible to upgrade the kernel without having unlock bootloader.
So this mod is basically the .62 firmware but with older .42 kernel with known issues about restarts and battery drain.
Otherwise it should require flash with flashtool or unlocked bootloader right?
1. Flash your phone to .58 firmware version
2. Root your phone using DoOmLoRd Version 4.0
3. Install CWM Installer from Android Market
or
Install CWM by any way
4. Update over wifi From phone
5. Done Enjoy
NOTE: No need of unlock Bootloader

if you just flash the kernel,u will still using current build not the kernel build.
u need to flash full firmware downgrade like fw .42 or .58.
use latest Flashtool 0.6.7 it can keep user data
when you flash the firmware be sure to uncheck
- Wipe User Data
- Wipe Cache

everything works fine and know i am on .58 with root. but when i will ota to get .62 i get follow message:"You need Pc Companion to update"
So i found out a way to actually root the new "unrootable" Sony stock rom.
Its actually just using the Unlocked Bootloader as it was meant to be used.
SO ONLY FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOARDERS!
Step 1: Flast the new firmware ftf using flashtool. Theres a fully working ftf for c6833 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489892
Step 2: Flash the old kernel with cwm from here (v5) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426736
Step 3: Reboot the phone to CWM mode and install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Step 4: Flast the new firmware ftf usin flashtool but ONLY CHOOSE THE KERNEL!! Nothing else!!
Reboot and profit.
You are rooted...
A simple thanks is enough and give thanks to all that have made this possible in those threads.
Have fun.
EDIT:
As of now this method does not work on the new Android 4.3 14.2.A.0.290

If one already have the v5 stock kernel with cwm one can flash the new ftf and just exclude the kernel and boot it directly to cwm after its finished flashing and continuing from step 3

I doubt it because you wont have write access to the system partition. The recovery itself should work fine with the stock ROM.

Thank, I disocver amother way to power it off, by pressing vol + and power.
But how to unbrick my ultra?
In flashtool I cant flash anything because it says: cant delete prepared/system,sin or another sin, it can delete all the sin.
Hi Everyone,I Have Deodexed & Zipaligned Z3's 4.4.4 23.0.A.2.105 Firmware
This Was Meant For The Single Sim Of Xperia™ Z3 With The Model Number D6603 Or D6653
Requirements
Unlocked Bootloader Currently
Rooted
CWM Recovery
After The Root Will Work On Locked Bootloader,You Can Also Flash This On Your Z3 With Locked Bootloader
You Will Need To Have A Rooted ROM With CWM Recovery
You Must Be On This Firmware (.105) To Flash It
Please Note That The Zip Only Contained System App,Framework & Priv-App
It Was Recommended To Flash This Zip On A Generic Firmware That Doesn't Contain Carrier Apps
The Odex File Will Be Deleted During The Installation & The Carrier App May Not Work Properly Because This Is Based On Generic Firmware
Installation:
1.Download The Zip & Move It To Your Phone
2.Boot Into CWM Recovery & Flash It
3.Clear Cache & Dalvik Cache
4.Done
Download:
Deodexed & Zipaligned 4.4.4 23.0.A.2.93 Firmware ( 520.3 MB )
Deodexed & Zipaligned 4.4.4 23.0.A.2.105 Firmware ( 524.8 MB )

Generic UK
Btw there's is no any carrier apps in the zip & all Generic ROM have the same apk & jar files
It may be worthwhile to put that in the requirements it does not need an unlocked bootloader, only root and recovery. I know currently you cannot have either of these without an unlocked bootloader, but soon (Finger crossed) we will get root without having to unlock.

^^ a great opportunity to learn!! in the cross dev sony thread there is tool and instructions to convert ftf into deodexed flashable (I don't code but created these for Z Ultra) Ill go find the threads and post and you can easily make your own (ro save @Ben Ling doing exact same thing)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713329
[TOOL] Kamome tool for Windows - deodex tool for 4.4 KitKat
edit: sry, cannot find ftf conversion thread ~ from memory; unzip ftf, unpack system (the tricky bit, needs software), then kanome tool ~ will have to find proper instructions as this helps nobody lol

You can use the one you like
^^ if you use DoomLord cwm boot for root then flash AndroPlus kernel afterwards you actually end up with both cwm AND twrp (ftw)
Updated to .105
Hi,
I need help !! I own a D6603 Z3 model (with global generic firmware .93).
I unlocked the bootloader, then flash C.W.M recovery, then i flash this .105 de-odexed firmware, wipe cache and dalvik cache and finally, rebooting the phone.
But instead of the set up screen, i have a black screen with a blue line who shows up every 2 seconds at the bottom of the screen and i can't do anything !!
What am i missing ? I precise that i'm not a noob for flashing xperias phone.
P.S : I didn't make a backup before flashing cause i forgot, and flashtool doesn't works for Z3 yet so i can't flash any FTF Files.... :-/
flashtool works fine

I guess you are not on .105 firmware to flash this.
I forgot to edit the OP as I just updated to .105 build,so there wrote that you must be on .93 firmware.
Actually you will need to be on the same firmware to flash it in case anything goes wrong.
For now you can only reflash firmware using flashtool.

Thanks a lot for your replies, i dowloaded the latest version of flashtool as i had an old version and i managed to get back to stock.
I unlocked again, rooted and that's good for me now, even if i'm still odexed.
Just hoping now that some devs will bring us some custom rom cause it's quite sad to own this amazing phone and have no custom rom to play with...
Thanks anyway for your work on this de-odexed rom !
totally agree
and stock is a blown up piece of ****

I'd rather be on Sony's stock firmware (which i like by the way) than Touchwizz rom !! But i like custom rom as i can modify whatever i want Also, something great would be to get some mods for camera (higher bitrate video for example) and mods for audio... Fingers crossed !

Hello benchmarker,
I did everything you said, and everything went well, although i found a "bug", when i restart my C6833 , all the applications that were opened before i restarted it or switched it off/on, are opened after reboot... Does it happen with your c6833, and is there a solution for this?
I must say once again, thank you for your tutorial, without it i didn't have any root on my beloved C6833.

I haven't figured a way to turn it off. And seeing how this is a stock ROM no one compiles it except for Sony.
