Root for Xperia Tablet Z - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i've downgraded my Tablet Z from CM13 to Stock-ROM 4.4.4 using Emma (there is also 5.1.1 available in Emma). But now i can't find any howto to root the device again. The only guides i've found doesn't work with android 4.4.4 or 5.1.1. With Flashtool i can't downgrade to a Firmware lower than 4.4.4 because Flashtool can't find the Firmware i've downloaded (see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71664260&postcount=3480).
So i have the problem: i can't downgrade to a rootable Firmware and i can't root the Fimrware i can install.
Is there any other Way to downgrade or any root with 4.4.4/5.1.1?

I'm running into issues myself, I've been trying to follow along with the video I found on Rootjunky's channel but when I load the firmware onto my tablet it gets into a reboot loop never getting past the SONY logo. I reload firmware on it using the Emma program from Sony (which only gives me the Nordic firmware for some reason) which is 5.1.1.
I have no clue how to get around this.

Install any stock firmware with Flashtool 0.9.18.6 and root it with vroot, kingroot (5.1.1) or other tools (firmware version specific).

Solution to root 5.0.2

Do you want root on Xperia Z ultra? But upgrade lollipop?
Use Sony flash tool and flash a 4.4.4 rom, for your correct device. Once on kitkat flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...llipop-5-0-2-c6806-14-5-0-242-rooted-t3082449
This is official lollipop for Xperia Z ultra. It comes pre rooted and you can flash recovery.
Please no more threads on how to root lollipop.
This rom works on C6806 and C6833 not sure about 02.
If this help please thank.
Once on kitkat, just unlock bootloader and you can flash all you want.

How to upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1.1?

I'm looking for a guide for how to upgrade from a rooted 5.0 based rom to 5.1.1 rom and still have root. I know I need to update the modem and bootloader but I am not sure of the steps.
Disregard. I flashed a modem and bootloader with odin and a 5.1.1 rI'm with twrp. That seemed to work

Rooting my 4.3 device with the 4.1 rooting file?

Hello,
my current version is 4.3 official firmware, and I want to root it, but on Chainfire's website it says that the file is for Android 4.1:
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ (Search "i9300")
Does that mean that this root will only work for 4.1, or it should work for any version that is also above 4.1?
Thanks!

Need a little help!

I bought a Z ultra off ebay (my 6th one now xD) It comes with android 5.1.1 and I looked for about 4 hours and flashed about 6 different ftf files. I'm trying to get back on 4.4.4 so I can root with SuperSU and place a custom rom on it.
So basically I need help to downgrade to 4.4.4 or a way to get a recovery on 5.1.1
C6833, thanks!
