Finally, there is an easy and efficient way to root Sony Xperia with Android 5.0 Lollipop and KitKat 4.4, while it is suitable for devices with both unlocked and locked bootloader. I emphasize right away that you are solely responsible for all actions - the site administration cannot guarantee that everything will work out. Although this method is actually as simple and safe as possible if you follow the instructions below.
In this way, you can root Sony Xperia Z3, Z2, Z1, Z3 Compact, Z1 Compact. At the time of obtaining root rights for Xperia Z, ZR, ZL, Z Ultra, T2 Ultra, there were failures in this way when the reboot looped on the smartphone. This is fixed by the firmware using FlashTool -. If you're ready then let's get started.
Below is a complete instruction for obtaining root on Sony Ixperia with screenshots and links to download all the necessary files.
2. The software you need:
- latest version of KingRoot - Link
- the latest version of XZDualRecovery for your model: download the archive with the ending “RELEASE.installer.zip” for version 2.8.21 - Link or “RELEASE.combined.zip” for version 2.8.25 - Link
- Archive with SuperSU - Link (you can also download later from Google Play or use the root manager from KingRoot)
We dump the KingRoot APK file and the SuperSU archive into the device memory, and download the XZDualRecovery to a convenient place on the PC and unzip it.
3. Install the KingRoot application on your smartphone or tablet. Important: the device must have an Internet connection, otherwise the program will transfer you to the phone settings, hinting at the need to connect! If, during installation, a warning appears that the program bypasses the Android system, then put a check mark and click the "Install anyway" button.
4. After installation, launch this program and press the large button labeled “Root”. If you see the warning window again, then just check the box again and press the install button. We wait until everything that is needed is installed and proceed to the next stage.
After the end of the process, just exit KingRoot and do not try to reboot the device, because this is not all that needs to be done to get root.
Important: it is possible that when obtaining the rights, the process will not go through completely and the smartphone will reboot. Here it is necessary to start the application again after turning on the phone and repeat the whole process. If the application throws an error, then just close it and restart it. This happens rarely and from the second or third time everything goes well.
5. Now we have the KingUser program, launch it and click Root authorization.
6. After that, expand the ADB Program tab and activate it in the list that appears by clicking on Allow.

9. The reboot will take place in the recovery mode (CWM Recovery). 
10. Now, from the recovery menu, you need to install the SuperSU archive previously loaded into the device's memory. For those who do not know how to do this, I will explain. To move up and down between items in CWM Recovery, use the add and volume down buttons, and press the power button to confirm the action.
Go to: “install zip” - “choose zip from / sdcard” - “0 /” - here we select the folder into which you dropped the SuperSU archive - select “BETA-SuperSU-v-2.49” - “YES”. The installation process will begin, which ends with the inscription “install from sdcard complete” at the bottom.
