Unlocked or locked bootloader?
If you are unlocked, here's the easiest way.
1. Download Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v05 (FW: 10.1.1.A.1.253) (NEW) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167381
2. Download SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38154110&postcount=2
3. Copy SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE.zip to your SD card.
4. unzip Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v05 (FW: 10.1.1.A.1.253) (NEW), and extract boot.img.
5. use fastboot to push boot.img (Which contains CWM).
6. Reboot into recovery, and flash SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE.zip from SD card.
You've got root.

*Follow the steps exactly and you will get back root with recovery. Not sure whether you have recovery in the first place as you didn't state.

No have any recoveries, just simple phone with the new firm
Xperia Z

Guess you need to downgrade first and ensure you have root, recovery before moving to the instructions which I have passed you earlier on.

Flash with .434 ftf, root and install dual recovery for locked bootloader. Goto CWRP recovery (volume down) and wipe only system install either of the available already rooted zip. dont wipe cache/dalvik cache. reboot. install supersu from play store and uninstall previously installed superuser app. thats it!

Root from stock Rom will be here soon just wait. If someone wants to root they have to downgrade and update again using a different Rom if u do that won't the phone be unbranded then meaning future ota or pcc Won't work or am I being daft ,

If need be, keep a copy of the branded/carrier FTF on your computer that you can flash back to if you need anything to do with warranty, easy. For now, Global unbranded seems to be the way.

[Q] problem with kernel and recovery on xperia z

I unlock the bootloader on my xperia z and then I rooted newest firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244 by following the instructions from hire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405 . And everything worked as it should. Than I instal recovery and android 4.3 from hire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354328 . Then the problems started, I tried to install app via recovery, but android did not want to boot. I decided to go back to 4.2 with 10.3.1.A.0.244 kernel, but it was no longer possible to root the phone and every time when I install recovery android will not to boot. Is there any idea about my problem. Sorry for my english

Do you want to stay on 4.2 or 4.3, just flash the kernel you need via fastboot or flashtool then that will give you a recovery to then install custom roms. As you are on a unlocked bootloader it is a lot easier to root just search for supersu cwm installation and that will root your device.

I want to stay on official 4.2 but to be rooted, i will try your advice. thanks

Okay then we'll look for doomlords stock kernel with cwm take the boot. Img out if that and flash in flashtool, then load up your phone and enter cwm. Flash rom you need (a lot of Roms are pre rooted. If not then once loaded new rom install supersu zip and there you are done. Kernel with cwm, custom rom and rooted device

[Q] Flahing a 4.4 rom no root

How to flash a 4.4 rom without the use of rooting and only using unlocked boot loader. I don't want to downgrade my device and I don't want root at this stage just want to run a 4.4 rom that is very similar to the current sony stuff, I am happy to do a clean install if necessary. I am sorry if this has been asked before, I could not find this doing a search before posting.
Please don't spam this posts about what is best and worst only want something very simple and easy to install and not something in development as when kk is available for my device I will be flashing that.
Thank you in advance

Easy, download latest Cyanogen Mod. Zip, extract the boot.img from the zip (this is the kernel) and pit zip on your phone/sd card
Open a Fastboot Cmd prompt on your pc, type "Fastboot flash boot boot.img" then after its that's done type "Fastboot reboot"
When the led turns on press vol up to enter recovery and wipe data/factory reset (you need to going from stock to Cm/AOSP, flash the Cyanogen mod zip, reboot and enjoy.
Find the all things you need to know thread from doomlord for more info on setting up and using fastboot

Also rereading your thread, all the 4.4 roms are based on AOSP so your desire for them to be like current Sony offerings just isn't gonna happen. The closest thing to 4.4 Sony is eXistenZ v 6.6 in the android development section. It has alot of the features and apps from the Xperia Z2 4.4 ported over though it is actually a 4.3 rom. It's the closest you can get to Sony 4.4 until an official kitkat update drops

Is the second rom easy to flash or is root required?

since you have unlocked bootloader already, could you explain why you want to do it without root?
I am pretty sure your phone needs root access to be able to replace the system files.
The only 4.4 you can flash is cyanogenmod, which is different to sony one.
if you want something similar to sony 4.4, you can flash existenz rom, it is still based on 4.3, but functions very similarly to 4.4 from the Z2.

You cannot flash a 4.4 rom and not have root - the custom kernel required for the role s have root access inbuilt. So no, you don't need to root your phone yourself, flashing the kernel from the rom via your unlocked boatloader will automatically root it.

Have you actually flashed a custom recovery? If so, the thread for the recovery will tell you how to enter it. You usually press one of the volume keys when the phone is booting.

I'm not sure you do know. I assume your previous device was a Motorola. Xperia devices don't have a boot options menu.
If you want to enter recovery mode, you need to actually flash a custom recovery first.

[Q] Help needed: new Z1 owner, cannot figure out how to get rooted .283

Hey guys,
After hours and hours of searching forums and trying things, I decided I need help.
I just bought a Z1 (yes, they're still for sale) and I wanted to update the firmware to the newest .283 lollipop. Also, I want to root my device.
I have rooted Android phones before, and I have some experience flashing Custom ROMs etc.
As I have understood I have to downgrade to a 4.4 ROM first, to get root. Then my plan was to install recovery and install .283 Pre-rooted ZIP in Recovery.
So here's what I did:
-Flash 14.1.G.1.534 firmware
-Root using KingoROOT
-try to install recovery
-boot into recovery
-install pre-rooted .283 Lollipop ZIP
-phone won't boot anymore.
I am still able to flash the newest .283 with the FTF file, but then obviously it's unrooted. I also cannot figure out how to flash recovery after flashing .283 FTF. (Flashing recovery seems to work, but I cannot enter recovery via adb or otherwise)
So if anyone can tell me what I am missing, please do!

for what i know the ftf files can't be prerooted. so download a prerooted zip file and install it from a recovery. btw if u're gonna try any custom rom, don't forget to backup your drm before unlocking bootloader. That's a must for xperia devices

Thanks. However, I can't get Recovery to work after flashing Lollipop firmware. And when I downgrade and then flash the ZIP from recovery, the phone won't boot.

I succeeded! The steps that led me to this result:
-flash KK 14.4.A.0.108 in Flashtool
-Root the firmware using Flashtool/SuperSU method
-flash Recovery using Dual Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647487)
-Flash the Pre-Rooted ZIP in Recovery
-Success!!
