Is there any root available? Does the old method works? Also does it work on locked bootloaders?

Not at this moment no, but it appears that a pre-rooted zip isn't far off.

This rooting method doesn't work on latest 4.4.4 for Z2
Sent from my D6503
Is it the latest 4.4.4 for Z2? And is it pre rooted? Which means can I flash this on my locked Z2?

Please, let me know when it will be possible to ROOT 23.0.1.A.0.167 Stock fw with locked bootloader. I will be very grateful.

You will likely be waiting some time, because it's possible to downgrade and flash pre-rooted zip or to OTA certain FW's maintaining root, I don't see devs putting a lot of effort into finding an exploit. That said best hope is probably an exploit being found for Z3 which is transferable to Z2, but as I say you may be waiting some time.
So what you recommend to do if i want to have root on 167?

Try to create a rooted update package from the update ftf: [4.4.4] Create ROOTED update package from stock FTF [LOCKED BOOTLOADER]
So I need to flash dual recovery to do that
How can I make a full stock backup just in case I need to use it for warranty?

You don't need, you can flash back an original ftf anytime or repair with Sony PC Companion. We are talking locked bootloadr, so until you don't unlock it, you have warranty.
But if you already have root on prev. firmware, you should install DualRecovery and boot into TWRP and you can backup your system there.

I just bought the phone and I really miss root hehe so if I don't unlock the bootloader I can change recovery and flash a stock root rom without losing warranty?

Yes, if you have older firmware on the phone, you can try the root options available and you can use recovery without unlocking th bootloader. If you have the latest, than you can possibly flash an older firmware to your phone and root that. But you need to read a bit, to understand everything correctly.

You need to downgrade to 4.4.2 for root.
I don't need to. I just unlocked ? the bootloader and flashed the system with a CM Based recovery. After that I installed Chainfires SuperSu via SD card. Works for me, Android 4.4.4

Yea sorry flashed the device by accident while I installed the CM Recovery. Had to install everything again but now it works.
It was just a poor question.
If you do not want to unlock your bootloader, you need to flash 4.4.2 rom
If you do want to unlock your bootloader, you need to flash a new kernel.
Either way there is flashing involved. It just depends on what you meant by your original question.
Just thought that flashing the device is not needed. But I was wrong. Unlocking the bootloader was no problem.

If you are not very experienced with the whole rooting thing then probably your best bet would be to flash the skymelon kernel,it should be the simplest way is to get there as it install's supersu and root's all in one flash,
This is the latest version of twrp and a supersu boot img i have for sony m4 e2303 to get you started.
To download it CLICK HERE
For skymelon follow the instruction's at this page.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/kernel-sky-melon-t3532944?nocache=1
You might find some of the following download's will help you out i have found them to be handy to have on my laptop just in case needed.
Download this file to sort out your adb and S1 driver's (it's for window's)
CLICK HERE
Install onto your computer then this program will install all the needed drivers for you hastel free.
For minimal Adb and Fastboot for windows CLICK HERE.
And for the skymelon Kernel CLICK HERE.
You should'nt need much more than that but let me know how you get on.
