You are mostly right
You need a to be rooted, I suggest you use the 23.0.A.2.93 firmware to do this (4.4.4 - kitkat)
Have a custom recovery (click links to go to the posts)
Then flash a pre-rooted lollipop firmware
Sadly in lollipop they fixed the SuperSU Survival mode so the only way to get root is to flash a pre-rooted firmware

You will loose root if you update through OTA or through computer
You will keep root if you flash a pre-rooted firmware after gaining root on KK

Hi guys, up till last week i had an xperia z for nearly 2 years and rooted it on several occasions, however the phone developed a fault and was returned to Sony.
I was sent a new device today (6603) which came with 4.4.4 10.5.1.A.0.292 but i want to put it back to how i had it on 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.2.67, for some reason i just cannot get the phone to root. I have used the procedure that i always used but this time i cannot get it to root. I would downgrade to 10.3.1.A.0.244 via flash tool, no problem. Then i would flash 10.3.A.0.423 kernel only but in settings the phone would still say the 244 build, then use doomlords v18 to root but i cannot get SuperSU installed....
I have tried many methods from the net to no avail. I went into the service menu and its says i can root
Any help will be much appreciated, any more info u guys need i can let u know.
Thanks
c6603

why don't u flash 10.5.1.A.0.292 firmware, i think kitkat 4.4.4 is very good to use and it is very easy to root
lollipop is good too but we can't root it now.
hello everyone,
until now I used several roms, like iHackers, CM, PA, slimkat etc and never lost root; today I updated to the newest stock rom, via sony emma, to see all the changes they've made and lost my root access.
is there any chance to get root again without the downgrading process again? I only did it once and this is a long time ago. I am not a highly advanced user but always curios to learn new things.
I really appreciate your help.
data:
lollipop 5.0.2
build: 14.5.A.0.270
xperia z1 c6903
germany
additional question: is xposed already working on lollipop? only had JB and KK so far

If your bootloader is unlocked, it's possible for you to root without going back to Kitkat. Just go to Xperia Z1 Android Development, and look for 270 kernel...
If it isn't unlocked, you have to go back to Kitkat and use any pre-rooted 270 ROM.
By the way, you posted in the wrong place.. You should post in Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting :laugh:
Good luck!

Sorry for posting in the wrong place.
Bootloader is unlocked with newest TA update. I will look for the kernel, thank you for replying.
As you unlocked your bootloader, you can gain root using two different methods:
You can search for an autoroot kernel for the 14.5.A.0.270 firmware as said above
or if you would like to not mess around, you can also just boot any kernel with recovery without flashing it using
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
and then sideload the latest superSU zip via adb using
Code:
adb sideload sideload.zip
You can grab the latest superSU zip here
That's the way I personally like the best, as it keeps the stock kernel
Xposed works in parts as far as I know. The installation is still a quite experimental procedure and not all modules may work properly.

If you really searched Z1 threads, you would have found the answer: absolutely no. You can't unlock your bootloader and you can't have a custom rom, other than some customizations of stock. Now, don't ask to show you stock based roms. Search and you will find out...

Sounds like an all stock Z1. I'm guessing you already read the 1st reply to your post. Yes, @optimumpro is right you have absolutely no way of being able to unlock your phone's bootloader. And booting to recovery? It doesn't have a recovery screen that looks anything like TWRP or CWM. You will need to root your phone and install a custom recovery such as TWRP, CWM, or DualXZ1Recovery

You answered yourself.
With an unlockable bootloader and already on 5.1.1 your only way ist to downgrade to an android version that is rootable.
In your case the latest rootable is .270.
After rooting you must flash a custom recovery. Having a custom recovery you can flash latest pre-rooted firmware through recovery. At the moment a pre-rooted firmware is the only way to get root.

I'm not sure why you would want to go to 4.4.4 but it can be done without issue, and as many times as it takes to wear out the flash memory.
Thanks for your opinion.
