Hello everyone.
I am trying to find a way to root my Xperia Z Ultra which is a C6833 On Lollipop 5.1.1. The phone is already out of warranty, so there is no problem with invalidating my warranty. I have rooted other devices and put custom roms on them, but this phone has never been rooted. Is there a walkthrough to root this phone and put CWM recovery on to it? Also, what roms are available for this phone? The phone is network free, and I live in the UK, if that makes any difference. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer me.

So i've recently discovered this wonderful website and hoping that it can breath some new life into my xperia P. But i'm a bit stuck at the moment, currently my phone is contracted with o2 (i'm not worried about voiding the warranty) and is running JellyBean 4.1.2, Build 6.2.A.1.100. I want to install something new preferably KiKat, now i've been following the xperia P Starters Guide i've managed to root it and i've installed CWM but i'm stuck at the unlocking bootloader stage and i think i already know the answer, my bootloader status is set to no which i'm guessing means i'm stuck?
Would installing a stock xperia p firmware make it so i can unlock the bootloader?
Do you have to have bootloader unlocked to run KitKat or anything else?
Unfortunately, currently there's no possibility to unlock such devices, same case as me
Well thats lame.
I have a Sony Xperia M2 on Vodafone UK which I want to root.
I've looked around and many people are saying use TowelRoot, downgrade to JB, find the right TFT etc. and I'm getting really confused, especially since my bootloader is unlocked.
The method which seems to work with people is to flash JB and then use an exploit to root the phone. Since the I cant unlock the BL, I dont know how to flash JB onto this phone.
Also if i root this phone, am i still able install CyanogenMod or use root apps such as Xposed Framework?
How can I downgrade the phone and root it?
Thanks In advance!

I did it
I just did it with KingRoot, without experiencing any problem, and no downgrade was necessary. The device was not listed as compatible, but it finally did it !
I hope this will help.

I've done some searching but since my gpe is mixed with Sony's version of z ultra on xda, I can't find a straight answer. so I'm pretty sure its no. I wanna root and add a custom recovery to a z ultra gpe that's already on 5.0. I bought it this way.

The issue that I see is that the only safe way to unlock bootloader is to root first and back up TA partition prior to unlocking. As far as I know there is not an exploit to root 5.0 yet. @DooMLoRD posted some rooted images but never got around to posting instructions how to use them. I unlocked my bootloader on 4.4.3 GPe and everything was fine till 4.4.4 update which broke camera and only fix was to revert to 4.4.3 and not allow it to update.
Hello and sorry if I'm putting this in the wrong place thou had a quick question
Will this work?
Currently I'm on 5.1.1 23.4.a.1.232 xperia z2 d6503 100% stock
Can I simply downgrade to 4.4.4 then upgrade to a pre-rooted 5.1.1 fw?
With flashtool
Any thoughts about this? I've have been thinking about trying this for a few days now and I'm really itching to try it.
EDIT:
And I found this just after I posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/how-to-root-sony-xperia-z2-5-1-1-23-4-1-t3238346
Thou all those hundreds of Google hits I went through I did not stumble upon that one.

Hi everyone,
I have a Xperia XA Ultra F3213.
Build number: 36.0.A.1.114
Phone Software Version: 1300-9523_36.0.A.1.114
Android Version: 6.0
I would like to root this phone. My bootloader is unlockable. I know that there are many threads that exist for rooting the xperia XA/XA Ultra, however many of them are over 6 months old. Not only are they a bit older, they do not provide much information of compatible software versions. There are a lot of threads of people who have recently bricked/boot looping/problems with their Ultra and rooting. Can anyone confirm a solution that will work for my exact software/hardware version? I am tired of ads and any non root ad blocker I try is garbage compared to adaway/modifying the host file.
Side question. Once the bootloader is unlocked I know that OTA updates will not work. Am I locked out from upgrading the phone once I unlock the bootloader, or is there another way to update the phone (and probably lose root). I'm not too worried about this.
Thank you!
I have unlockable bootloader F3213 too and it seems there are not much developers interested in xperia xau.
I gave up the rooting and I also heard once you root the xperia XAU it will turn off some kind of camera software so camera will only work on low definition mod.
Hi, you know that there is a possibility to backup your DRM keys (TA partition) before unlocking the bootloader and you can use a DRM fix to restore lost features? It's not because the root guide is 6months old that it will not work today,I helped an user to root his F3212 on Telegram few hours ago with files released here After root you can update your phone with Flashtool. I think you didn't searched more than that how to do...
