Today, the long-awaited update Android 4.4.4 for Sony Xperia™ Z2 is released.
Rejoice!
But, installing this update will overrun the root access. Root access will be gone. So, how to root 23.0.1.A.0.167 FW on Sony Xperia™ Z2?
I'm gonna try the same old "Easy Root Tool" and see what happens. Any ideas would be good!
-EDIT-
Do you want to update your Sony Xperia™ Z2 to 4.4.4 but don't want to lose root? Don't worry, you won't! Click "here"
Credits to @niaboc79
Also, thanks to @funky0308 and @Envious_Data for their work
-EDIT 2-
I got root on 4.4.4 on my own, using this guide, credits @norti
@niaboc79 's pre-rooted ROM was based on Generic RU and the NC feature wasn't working on it. So I wanted to download a brand new FTF with my customization number and followed the steps on the guide.
ZBAM!
Got my own .167 (4.4.4) ROM (Generic DE) with root on my Sony Xperia™ Z2.
we will find a way...
but you should definitely put question mark in title...
we are lucky to have older fw (I'm talking for LB, z3 can't be downgrade and they will have problems to root 4.4.4. I believe we could use older fw to root fw and to upgrade keeping root...
I'll upgrade later today and will try few things...
In the title a statement and not a question !! WTF
I thought u achieved root, wtf

Haha I agree
What if we...
- backup TA
- unlock bootloader and root (how?)
- relock bootloader by restoring TA
???

you can, yeah...as soon as Doom or NUT build/patch new kernel...
BTW @[NUT] will you work on this one?
tnx
does other rooting method on locked bootloader works?
Does this works? On locked bootloader? Android 4.4.4 (23.0.1.A.0.167)

I doubt...
Sony patched all those security holes and all those methods should be updated.
Of course, someone should try...
Can anyone confirm he upgraded D6503 to 4.4.4?
Wouldn't downloading the update through PC companion and making an ftf/downloading an ftf and then pre-rooting the firmware work? We have recovery for the phone so a pre-rooted flashable firmware should work without working exploits right?

In 30 minutes, I will. The update is downloading now. It's around 1.2GB.
Mod edit
As a few members noticed, the thread title was a little misleading, as it seemed like there already was a way to root the new firmware.
I changed the thread title to one that shouldn't mislead people.
OP, if you have any problems with this, or prefer a different title, please send me a private message or quote this reply.

4.4.4 for D6503 isn't out yet.
Don't bother to download that, it'll say it's 167 but you'll download 314 and flashing will stop immediately after downloading fw.

I didn't actually read any of the other replies to the thread. Mainly cause the main post was all about how could we root it.
It is possible to install the lockeddualrecovery from NUT? If yes we can use it for root
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i guess this will be the option for now. Root .314 firmware, backup TA then flash 4.4.4 ftf. Plug the device to flashtool and unlock the BL, install Doomkernel (for recovery), flash supersu.zip, plug phone again to flashtool reflash stock kernel, boot the phone and it should be rooted then restore TA Backup.

It is possible to install it on a rooted firmware, you wouldn't be able to install it on the new firmware without root.

You wouldn't even need to do that.
1) Root .314 firmware.
2) Install locked bootloader recovery.
3) Make a pre-rooted firmware of the 4.4.4 build.
4) Install the firmware through recovery.

Is it for the D6502 or D6503? If I was able to update my D6503 to 4.4.4 I would have done it but I have been plagued with the same problem as all the other D6503 owners. I'm just going to wait for a UK unbranded pre-rooted firmware (or a UK unbranded ftf, whatever comes first).

If your on CM you will have to flash 4.4.2 firmware through flashtool
Then root it and install NUT's Dual recovery.
Then once rooted you can restore your TA back up (will restore DRM key and lock boot loader).
Then if you want rooted lollipop install the pre-rooted lollipop zip through recovery OR if you don,t want root use flash tool to flash the lollipop FTF

Sorry to be noob... but by flashing the "rooted lollipop zip" using twrp do I have to flash anything else with flashtool ?
This is prerooted zips based on C6602 Customized US 10.6.A.0.454 and C6603 10.6.A.0.454 Customized HK, downloaded with Xperifirm, packacked by flastool and rooted with PRFCreator. I myself tested it on my C6602 and root worked (with SuperSU). Haven't tested C6603, but it should also work. I don't take responsibility for any damage to your phone.
Download (C6602): Mega
Download (C6602): Google Drive
C6603 rom seems not to be flashing, so I removed it for time being.
As users have been reporting, flashing with twrp results in fail, so flashing with CWM(or recovery based on it) is advised. Also you should be on stock 4.4.4 (rooted with recovery) before flashing.
TWRP says it's installed after 1 second installation on C6603. What to do?
work fine ,no any bootloop,don't try to install dual recovery,it's incompatible in this time

kernels embedded with BusyBox+superSu had higher batter drain issues. and superSU don't get updated if its installed in kernel. that why I prefer stock modified kernel with flashable SuperSu and no busybox installed

I managed to get mine going by flashing the ftf first and then the kernel. When I flashed the kernel first, flashtool actually threw an error when trying to install the ftf. So far no camera fc's or anything. Going to try xposed soon.

You need to flash the FTF first
FTF contains all the necessary firmware files (partition images, Kernel, FOTA kernel, Radio Base Bands, Boot Delivery and so on )
Then without starting the phone you should flash the patched kernel via Flashtool's fastboot mode.
Then turn the phone on and have fun !

I have the same question. I have the E6603 (the poor guy's E6653) and wanted to know if I could safely flash only this FTF and keep my current (stock) ROM. Thanks,
So I flashed the FTF only, excluded the kernel and fota kernel using Flashtool. My Z5 now thinks it's dual SIM.
Weird thing, phone isn't rooted. I'll try to reboot to see if I at least got TWRP.

I did not understand , Flashing the FTF will replace your kernel and make it into a DSDS which your phone is not
--- keeping the stock ROM after once you falshed the FTF is out of the question i guess.
