Root Xperia Z1 C6902 android 5.1.1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
Thanks in advance.

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.

You can just proceed with [NUT]'s method. Now that you have root install recovery and the do the rest of the steps.
If you need help refer to my updated video:

Thanks for your advice
I just processed exactly as NUT guide and had the 4.3 c6903 14.2.A.0.290 rooted :good:
Just a question:
- as NUT guide, last step is flash the ...stripped.ftf
- as your video, i did not see you flash the stripped.ftf. Instead, you flash the original generic 14.2.A.0.290 ?
what is the different? If i flash again the original 14.2.A.0.290 like yours. will it loose root ?
Have a great day!

In my video it is the stripped version as well. It shows up as normal in Flashtool for some reason. My video is 100% based on [NUT] method

hi, did you unlock your bootloader before? if yes, then relock it. Or flash a .157 (Latest 4.4.4) via flashtool.

Is that the official Sony ftf? Will a phone recieve official Sony updates after doing that? What would happen to any apk that was installed on rooted Z1 after flashing lollipop?
