I'm using an Xperia ZR C5503 with android 4.4.4. I didnt find a guide for my same configuration and that's why i created a new thread. Excuse me if it has been already asked. I have a completely untouched stock kernel and locked kernel. There are so many .ftf files, and different methods so I was completely confused as to the correct procedure.
Any tips?
My config:
Model: Xperia ZR C5503
Android version: 4.4.4
Firmware: 10.5.1.A.0.283
Delete
I was able to root it by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873..
Mods may delete this thread now.

Hi,
I just bought a new Sony Xperia Z Europe version (C6603) and I would wish to root this phone.
I have updated it to the latest available software which is 10.3.1.A.2.67.
I tried to search in the development thread and couldn't find one.
I found the Doomlord's rooting tool kit but I would also require the .ftf file (10.3.1.A.2.67) for the same firmware so that i could root it.
Could anyone provide me the Link for the same?
Hi, I am new in this forum. I have an Xperia Z (C6603) and I’m currently on FW 10.4.B.0.569. I am planning to install FXP CM11 but before unlocking the bootloader I would like to back up my TA partition. I understand that I will need root access for that. My question is whether I can use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit by flashing back to KernelOnly 10.3.A.0.423 even so I currently have 10.4.B.0.569 or will I have to entirely downgrade the phone to 10.3.A.0.423 by using a full version (not KernelOnly)? Any hint will be much appreciated.
I was going to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/root-how-to-rooting-firmware-10-3-1-0-t2386405 but after reading the instructions again, I guess the warning “THIS IS ONLY FOR THE XPERIA Z (C6602/3) FW 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67!” stopped me and I thought I better ask.

the better way is to downgrade to 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67 4.2.2 firmware,root it then backup TA,unlock bootloader & flash the CM11
Thanks for your reply. That's the safest way and that's what I finally did. Worked great.
my friend updated the Xperia Sp to 4.3 and now it is very laggy. He need to downgrade to 4.1.2. I need the ftf file link for downloading and flashtool link as my old flashtool dont have xperia sp driver.
As this phone is bought from customs I am not sure to which region it belongs. Do I need to exclude baseband when flashing? Do I need to skip final verification?.
The baseband version of 4.3 update is 8960-AAAAATAZQ-40031007-18
See my tutorial in General section or via the link below in my signature.. All you need is explained in the tutorial
Good luck

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.

you cant directly root 5.0.2 as of now
Flash 4.4.4 and root it using Easy root tool / king root method. Install latest recovery
Create flashable pre-rooted zip using PRF creator tool and flash it
