Hey folks out there... I have made a step by step tutorial video on how to root 5.1.1 of our z... Hope it will help everyone
you don't' have to downgrade to 4.4.4 !!! you can root 5.02 using the same method and install recovery and do the same things...i'm saying that because most people already have 5.0.2 LP

Hi, searching the forums I found this thread.
[ROOT TOOL] rootkitXperia - Root Many Xperia! [bug 9950697][CVE-2013-6282]
the tool in the thread for the bug 9950697 worked and now I have my xperia rooted in 4.2.2 with 10.3.1.A.0.244 also in the thread seeing similar devices there is a possibility that 10.3.1.A.2.67 can be rooted too, but haven't test it (still in 4.2.2) so if you are looking for a way to root easy without having to go without downgrade. this is your lucky time.
don't forget to say thanks to the user that posted that thread and the tool dev.
Hello guys,
I am new to the Android community and especially the Rooting section looks really strange to me (but hey, I used to have an iPhone so who am I kidding )
Anyway, I bought an Xperia Z1 and now I'd like to get Root access on my phone. But every tutorial that I found requests, that I already have Root access on a lower OS version. Why? It doesn't make sense to me.
I am currently on unrooted Android 4.4 Kitkat (14.3).
Thanks for your patience with a "newbe"
Read one of the sevral guides in the general section and the development section.
If you are new I advise you to spend some time reading otherwise you could brick your phone. It may seem like a pain, but trust me, spending some time learning will help you
for starters, android is only at 4.4.2 as the latest version, not 14.3 (That's the FW version)

You downgrade using flashtool and flash a FTF
Look in the FTF mega collection thread in the general section to learn how to do that
The reason is that it is impossible to directly root 4.4.2, you have to downgrade to a rootable version and then upgrade to a prerooted 4.4.3 version

Can anybody please tell me about any one click or any easy root method for xperia z1 C6902 android 5.1.1?
Or else just tell me how to downgrade my phone to 5.0.2
I am new to this forum so if i have said anything incorrect please forgive me.
And thanks in advance.
And also provide links if you know how to downgrade to 5.0.2
There is no way to directly root Z1 lolipop 5.1.1. You have to downgrade (to Kitkat 4.4.2 is the best), get your z1 rooted, install recovery then update it to pre-rooted lolipop 5.1.1
Use Xperia Flashtool to downgrade or upgrade firmware.
Thanks for the reply.
Can u list the steps and the links and
Also please tell me how can I downgrade to 5.0.2 lollipop.
no do not downgrade to 5.0.2 since its awful to root because you need to change from kingroot to supersu... just downgrade to 4.4.2 and install nut's recovery and it will root it for you in the process... then flash prerooted 5.1.1. and you're golden
Okay. Thanks for the reply.
Can you list the steps and the links?
You know I am just a little new.

First downgrade to .108 and root it.
Install dual recovery by NUT
Download .368 prerooted zip
Flash that zip via recovery. Good luck
Thankyou everyone at the xda for helping me.
And for the reply also.
Hi guys can you please tell me how to or were to look if i want to root my sony xperia z3 5.1.1 firmware 23.4.a.1.200
thanks in advance
Maybe you'll be more successful when you ask/search in the correct forum for Z3. This is Z4/Z3+, which neither has a 5.1.1 firmware, nor is it rootable without unlocking the bootloader.
Cheers
Kingroot will root the Z3 now. But as Silent_simmal said, this isn't the correct forum.
