Ok, I'm not expert but I think I can help you with that
1- First of all you need to root your phone, the easiest way to do that is by using twoelroot app ( download it from here ) just click on the lambda icon to download the apk then install and root.
2- Unlock your bootloader:
before unlocking your bootloader it's highly recommended to backup your DRM keys .. visit this thread to know how you can do that. (video tutorial included).
After backing up your DRM keys download latest flashtool from here then go to this thread and read steps carefully to unlock your boot loader .. the thread also have step-by-step guide video show you how to do that.
3- Flash latest TWRP recovery from this thread via fastboot using flashtool.
4- Now you are ready to flash any custom ROM .. just download one and follow dev. instruction to flash the ROM.

2- Unlock your bootloader:

No Video can you give me link please ??
Now rooted my phone & unlock boot loader. Now what ??
Please Help meee
If you already rooted and unlocked your phone bootloader as you said then there's no need for these videos
All you need now is installing TWRP recovery to be able to flash new ROM. And the easiest way to do that as follows:
1- Go to play store and install app called "rashr".
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools
2- download recovery zip file from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B01MfG-TmJ1KcTIyUnRreDk3MEU/view?usp=sharing
3- Extract recovery zip file and copy "twrp_2.8.5.0-huashan.img" image file to your SD card
4- open rashr app and do update if asked then do backup if you want ... after that press "recovery from storage" and browse to the recovery image file location and flash it.
Thankyou bro
I saw so many videos and tutorials and guides that i'm getting stupid.
But i didn't understand much for this device owned by GF.
I'm using my Nexus 6 as daily use and mod it is so simple that is like drink a water glass. But it was the same for my old S3, my Moto G, Moto X+1, HTC One mini, and Asus Zenfone 2. For this Xperia Z i don't understand many things like:
1) Unlock the Bootloader: ok i found the code con Sony Mobile and i know how to use it with cmd prompt terminal (more or less same way as my Nexus 6)
2) Flash TWRP: HOW CAN I FLASH IT?? There are more or less 5/6 guides, all different from the others. Anyone that can EXPLAIN the RIGHT way to flash the last version of TWRP? Can't i just use the cmd after the unlocking process like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" as all the other smartphone i ever had in my life?
3) It is so necessary have the root before the custom recovery? Because i just want to flash a custom ROM and like i did with my N6 after flash the recovery i neither rebooted the phone.
4) Flashtool is really important to do things? Can't i just use the cmd?
Why these Xperia Z thread are so confusing?
Anyone with really clear ideas to help me,
thanks
Forgot to mention that she is all stock with Android 5.1.1 build 10.7.A.0.228. IDK if it is helpful

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-xperia-z-android-5-0-t3151618
after fone alrdy root install Rashr Flashtool in playstore / apk
and open Rashr... u have 3 choice recovery twrp philz cwm... for me i prefer twrp 3.0.2.0.img
download & flash it ( automatic after complete download img )
and just reboot to recovery...
if u fail to root using link that i give download KingoRoot
Im using this method to root & install recovery
Hi guys, is the first time i try to install another room on my Xperia Z, i followed step by step all the requeriments
-I unlocked the bootloader
-I rooted my phone
-Install Recovery. I downloaded the TWRP App on Play Store. I select my device (Xperia Z) and i choose the last file to flash (twrp-3.0.2.0-yuga.img). I press "Flash To Recovery" and it says Flash Failed, so i can turn on my phone on the Recovery Mode..
There's another way to install the recovery? I'm a little bit worried because i heard about "Bricked Phone" and i don't wanna do something that could bring me to that.
PD: After i unlock the bootloader and root the phone, i downloader the TWRP App, and i think this could be important. The first time i open this App i have the Option to "Backup Existing Recovery". And i never installed a Recovery and in addition, when i unlocked the bootloader, all the information was deleted (yes i knew this) but TWRP gave me the option to backup and existing recovery.
Maybe if now i reset all data to zero and install again TWRP app could work?
PD2: First time i did it i don't read if the Recovery was installed. I was following instructions and tryied to reboot to enter recovery (turn off button + volume down) but it didn't work. So i once again did the same process and it said Flash Failed. Seems maybe i already have the recovery installed but for some reason i can enter
Seems i already have installed the Recovery with the TWRP Official App. The problem is that the first time i installed i didn't read the message that said if it was all ok or no. Seems was all Ok. But when i tried to enter into the Recovery Mode i coudn't (Turn On + Volumen Down Button). So again i installed the Recovery but this time it said "Flash Failed"
If i install XZDualrecovery assuming for a moment that i have already installed a recovery, could be any problem?
I m also facing problem in flashing from twrp.
Each time I m unble to flash.
As msg is showing flash failed.
@ MrDubsstep @Yuvraj aryan
hi,
both of you, did you already unlock the bootloader and after that root the phone?
TWRP app from playstore need root permission to be able install the recovery..
Thanks I will unlock boot loader and then try to flash custom recovery.

Yes i did it but my problem is already fixed.
First i unlocked the bootloader, then i rooted with Kingroot app. I installed TWRP Official App but this didn't work for me. So i installed the XZDualrecovery. After that i tried to install the ROM but again failed with another error. So after i installed the XZDualrecovery i installed TWRP 3.1.0 and then the ROM, and is done.
You can see the Chippa post, people helped me there

I'm gonna explain you all the method for you to know and if somebody has any problem.
First of all, if you did something and was wrong, go to flash your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/. This restart your phone, quit root and recovery.
1- Unlock your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
2- Download and install Kingroot App, root and then download Check root App if all is okay.
3- Download the XZDualrecovery here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZ...g21jd24hub9so04tqn9vc50&randomizer=_oupgp8psh and follow the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NteAd_MzsPI
4- Once recovery is installed, reboot, enter the recovery and Press Wipe and select Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache. Maybe system but i don't know.
5-Install the ROM and without reboot install the Gapps. First time maybe it could 10-15 minutes or less to restart with the new ROM, just wait.
Hope it worked for you!

Dual recovery will work in both Stock KitKat and Stock Lollipop rom.
The very first install should be from KitKat ofcourse, because in KitKat
its the most easy to root, and root is require for install dual recovery.
The recovery must be installed in fota partition if you read instructions
on twrp homepage.
Its hard to try help people when they partly ignore
and do their own experiments ..

No, no matter if you flash or not, if you unlock the bootloader is gonna be unlocked even if you flash. If you did something and was wrong, in my opinion you should flash and start again.
And the rom i used was lollipop 5.1.1. I didn't see what you say about kernel or boot, maybe i did it wrong but i'm good now with the ROM.
I forgot to mention that after installing dualrecovery you install TWRP 3.1 but i see you know it

It is supposed to work. Never mind. Did you try other supersu.zip files? Coz sometimes these packages may also be corrupt.
In case if you are not successful try this tool called lenovo k3 note manager..

i got latest twrp 3.1.1 and superSU 2.82... let me try 1st,
DONE ROOTED S433 (solved dead A7000-a)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/general/complete-tutorial-how-to-flash-k50-t5-t3360181.
i follow this step by step procedure, now im on k50a40 s433 ROOTED and i can put back my NVRAM. Just want to share whoever got problem flashing s433 on A7000-a, make sure download correct file on the thread and carefully read the instruction. If your platform are marshmallow, do flash boot image via twrp (flash image, not flash zip). My step from dead A7000-a to K50a40 :-
1. Use SP Flash (v5.1540.00.000) to flash K50a40_S422_160315_ROW( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/C9th/nvAqozUua )
2. Follow this step ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66229157&postcount=4187 )
When the procedure done/finish( OK GREEN TICK ). Turn on ypur device normally, put this file on SD Card ( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/CNTk/6..._ROW_TO_K50a40_S424_160328_ROW_WC655382B6.zip ) to update s422 to s424 or do it OTA.
Now you should get K50a440 s424 on your device.
Done all this step...... will have notification to update s424 to s427... then s427 to s433, all this i done through OTA( or you can search for update.zip and put in SD )
TO ROOTED s433
1. Follow this step ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-...3-note-k50-t3158522/post66156802#post66156802 ), make sure all necessary file are downloaded and place on SD Card( read carefully the step )
After you done all the procedure, check rooted using root checker apk ( google play free )

I'm trying to root my N6 but the process is a nightmare compared to the old ways I used to know. I followed the guide on this forum to successfully unlock the phone but there is no current root guide.
Device is n6f27m Android 7.1.1
- Chainfire failed (outdated)
- Nexus Root Toolkit couldn't auto detect phone settings and appears to have stopped updating around 7.0
- I keep hitting dead end outdated guides
- I've read some vague detail about fastboot install TWRP followed by SuperSU but nothing is clear
Can someone please direct me to a root guide or explain the process that actually works.
Three steps:
1) unlock bootloader
2) fastboot flash twrp
3) download root app and flash it in twrp
Magisk is generally the recommended root app these days.
I can go into more details about each step, but I don't know how much you already know.
