Have u tried rooting via Flashtool itself? But a fair warning, rooting via a PC will most likely erase all your SD data, so backup and then try..

OK root can be obtained on .283 , what about recovery like CWM or TWRP ??
I've seen Hodor and XzKernel both are on .230 sources so they are not a match and sony is yet to release .283 sources.
What recovery are you guys using on .283 that is Android v4.4.4??

I just downloaded XZ-lockeddualrecoveryv2.7.154-BETA.installer.zip .
Does it have the latest twrp v2.7.1.0 ??
AND
How do I install the latest TWRP everytime the TWRP site releases new versions for Xperia Z ??

The TWRP version is 2.7.1.0 on the dual recovery, whenever there is an update just check nut's repo you would be able to download the latest recovery from there

Thanks a lot
I learned how to compile a boot.img from sony sources and include recoveries in them through DooMLoRD's tutorials.
But that requires the latest twrp ramdisk packed in .cpio format ,
Can you help me find the latest twrp ramdisk packed in .cpio format ???
This is because I want the recovery to be in the kernel so that when i flash a custom rom the recovery is still there and deos not get deleted from system partition.

Root a 4.2 or below ROM - Search for the root methods in the other Z forums as there's more than one method
then download a 4.3 ROM and follow the instructions

I think that app should be patched directly on device you want to install it. Or maybe you had installed "normal application" on xsp first, didn't work, patched and tried to update? I had a problem with gta:sa where obb files blocked me from installing patched app. Deleted it and it worked just fine.

There are threads in dev section. I think custom fw is worth trying as well. Even better than stock. I didn't want to dabrand my phone when i got it and later go away from stock rom, but now i'm sure cfw are being done to be greater than stock. There you can find detailed instructions

Try this working for me unlocked bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60185391
Wish a developer to create boot image with custom recovery (such as Philz Touch) for LBL, of course.
Here is the unofficial update of DooMKernel https://mega.co.nz/#!PsJxWLwY!R21s7H4x1fKpE5sM0XU483G4HMi1vRaM20_EIk3eyNU

Try flashing kernels that are actually for lollipop and not for kitkat... or maybe you should try installing a different ROM(personally I have installed DstrikerZ1 Kai lollipop rom with RockZ1L kernel and it works just fine!)
