Important:- after rooting, your SuperSU app will force close because its not compatible with 4.4.4. You have to install the new version SuperSU v2.02 provided in the above post.
I did not use any recoveries mentioned in the post. Just rooted.
Hi
Is it good to root 5.0? or shall I wait to 5.1?
what will happen if I rooted on Lollipop 5.0 the upgraded to 5.1 using OTA update? will it harm my device?
Is there a trusted/tested root for Moto X 2014 Lollipop 5.0?
If you are rooted you will need to do a clean install of 5.0 before accepting an OTA to 5.1 or the OTA will fail. The way I use to root is to flash a custom recovery and then flash SuperSU.

what do you mean by "good"? in what aspects? the answer will depend on how you want to use after root features.
AFAIK, you have to stock recovery installed before getting any OTA, they wont even downloaded if you have a custom recovery, so you have to use fastboot to install stock "recovery.img" before getting OTA.
I used CF-Auto root method, its safe and easy, but beware, you have to unlock bootloader first.

Hello People Can Any One Tell Me If Theres A Way To Root The Xperia Z1 With The Last Firmware 5.11 Without Downgrade To 5.0.2
kingroot ?
As of the moment, there are no know root procedures for 5.1.1 that have been posted in the Xperia Z1 General section other than pre-rooted FTFs downloaded using XperiFirm through Flashtool. Although - if my memory serves me right - I think I read somewhere here that if you have an unlocked bootloader, you shouldn't really have to worry about rooting as apparently it is easy to get root access. I really haven't explored the part of unlocked bootloaders even though I have a phone that I can unlock my bootloader though to be honest.

Its just around the corners of Xperia Z1 General section I believe. But to be honest, I don't want to mess about with my bootloader - but that's just me, my own preference. The good thing is locked or not, we can still root our nasty Z1 phones!

Personally though, If I have a new phone and it's on 5.1.1, I'll just downgrade to 5.0.2 because I can root it without a PC. Just use Kingroot, (optional) replace KR with SuperSU using Terminal emulator, and Baaaammm!!! phones rooted. Then I'll install DualXZ1Recovery, grab one of the pre-rooted 5.1.1, then flash away baby!!!

Make yourself a ftf.
Use flashtool to download your firmware. Use flashtool again to convert your firmware files to an ftf.
Flash the ftf with flashtool.

Yes.
I am new to xda and this is my first post.
I found this thread very helpful but am stock right now...I want to root my xz1 already on 5.1.1, right now I have both ftf files of 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.
My problem now is...how do I create a pre rooted 5.1.1 from the ftf file? And does installing a pre rooted firmware gives all the privileges such as installing fonts?..I'd greatly appreciate your assistance.

You have to use a Windows prog called PRF Creator. With it you can created your pre rooted zip file.
The pre rooted zip file will give you root privileges to your phone. With root you can basically do whatever you want.
To flash the zip you need a working custom recovery on your phone.

Thanks for the replies in advance.

Hi. There's a specific root tool for easy rooting called rootkitXperia, you can check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/root-how-to-root-5-0-lollipop-t3212108
But it supports only 14.5.A.0.270 and 14.3.B.0.310 (*Japanese model) firmwares. Flash one of these firmwares, root with this tool, install XZDualRecovery. then download .368 firmware pre-rooted version. Then flash pre-rooted firmware zip using twrp/cwm, it's your choise. You can choose wipe memory or not to wipe. Up to you.
Hope it helps

You can downgrade to KK 4.4.4, root it, install custom recovery, and use a pre-rooted 5.1.1 firmware to go back to 5.1.1. Or downgrade to LP 5.0.2, root it, install custom recovery, and use a pre-rooted 5.1.1 firmware to go back to 5.1.1
So before I rooted and unlocked I took the stock MM update, but Xmod doesn't support MM so I want to downgrade. My question is do I need to do anything special (ie change kernel or use different SU) or can I just flash the stock Lolli and root and be good-to-go?
Current setup: XT1095 on stock rooted (Beta 2.52) MM running TWRP 2.8.7.1 recovery
Solution: Full factory wipe in TWRP, installed Lollipop flashable zip and SuperSU v.2.65 now all is good and Xmod is working great!!!
