Your firmware version is displayed in Settings -> About Phone -> Build number.
This is the only way currently to root 4.4.4 on the Z: How to root 10.5.1.A.0.283 / 10.5.1.A.0.292

Hey greatly thanks. If I do it wrong or if any wrong thing happened, what possible damages can cause? I want my mobile rooted for some apps and I am totally newbie to how to root.

As long as you follow the guide, nothing bad should happen. At worst you might have to reflash stock firmware, but that's very unlikely.

[Q] xperia z C6602 10.1.1.A.1.253 root?

Hey everyone!
I currently use the xperia z C6602 to 10.1.1.A.1.253 firmware and want to root it to get JB (I have the France version imported here to the US, but never got the update). I also want to root it for other reasons (to get rid of bloatware, etc).
I tried following this method on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287299
but got stuck on the part where it says to point the drivers to the designated folder. When I booted the phone with fastboot, it tried installing drivers on windows, but never gave me the option to select a folder (and installation failed). May I ask how to get past that step?
Or are there any other ways to root my phone? I started a new thread because i think the C6602 might be a bit different from the C6603, just just to be safe. My bootloader is unlockable but i have not yet unlocked it. Fyi, I currently reside in the USA (don't know if that helps)

Thank you! I'm also thinking about flashing to JB (which would remove the root, i think?)
Anyhow, thank you very much, guys.

Downgrade your firmware with flashtool then root. Then there are a few ways to upgrade again without losing root. You really should read and search this forum... this topic has been discussed here more than basically anything else on the Z1 threads.

[Q] Helping With Root :/

Hi Guys
Firstly, I apologies if this is in the wrong section ...
Now, I recently purchased a Xperia Z (my old phone was a Xperia Ray, thank god I got rid of it)
So I got the phone, plugged it into the computer to restore some backups and without thinking i accepted the update and it went ahead and done it.
Which brings me to my question, is there a root available for Xperia Z on
Android Version : 4.3
Build Number: 10.4.1.B.0.101
Preffreably one that doesn't involve downgrading as I do not want to unlock my bootloader.
Thanks for your help guys!
simply put no lol
No,you cannot root without unlocking bootloader or downgrading

[Q] How to root my xperia Z 4.4.4?

Ive recently bought a Sony Xperia Z C6603, it came with 4.2, and updated to 4.3, a month ago I updated to 4.4.4 kitkat, Id like to know how to root it since I had samsung S2 before it and rooted it, and there are some apps I really miss with root. The problem is that video tutorials and written ones talk about 4.2, so is it the same with kitkat? Also I really like the stock sony look so I dont want to flash a new rom or anything, if its the same, a good video tutorial with links would be great, sorry Im pretty noob with android rooting.

Yes. That's why I linked you to it!
It's the only way to root 4.4.4 without unlocking your bootloader.
