there is heaps of different methods out there, one just maybe needs to look harder,
one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/tool-rooting-23-5-1-291-supersu-t3437280
not a bad method that is relative easy,
really depends on what you want, custom rom, stock ,
if a custom rom, then i would recommend flashing a 5.1.1 stock rom and king rooting it then flash a good recovery and and a custom rom of your choosing

If you want to install custom rom:
1. Unlock your bootloader ( as required by most roms out there )
2. Flash TWRP using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery %filename%.img
In recovery,
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash SuperSU.zip
5. Done
If you just want root:

You those computer required ( e.g. Kingo Root ) root method and try again. Or you will need to flash a prerooted fw for your device.

Unlock your bootloader and try the SuperSU zip injection method. It is the last method I could think of at this moment.

Dont use EMMA, use flashtool by androxyde instead! It should be far better than EMMA.
