Not sure if this of value of anyone. I root these for my own device and though I would share in case its of value to someone else.
My steps to create:
1. Sony PC Companion to download update for my device/region
2. Flashtool to decrypt
3. Flashtool to build ftf with all 3 .ta portions removed
4. PRFCreator to root and zip

I just went through this ordeal. There is a lollipop version of dual recovery here . You need to flash the flashable version of it through recovery and it will give you write access. You are probably using a Kit Kat version of dual recovery that doesn't disable lollipop simlock.
many thanks for the quick response. can I get this recovery "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable.zip" for the sgp512 simple flash or something else must take place only before ... thanks:good:
You want 2.8.22 zip file. Flash in recovery. Done.
Thank you so much for the great help .... everything works great ... keep it up :good:

how did you get TWRP on your spg512? On their page in doesn't support Xperia z2 Tablets. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks
Good fit
This installed just perfectly. I like all the Sony apps and having root is a great bonus. Thanks Rusty!

Not sure what version of firmware you are on, but you might need to downgrade to an older version, run NUTs or another method to flash a new recovery. I went back to a 17.x version and skipped all the setups at firstboot, enabled Developer tools,then USB debugging, allow apps to be installed, and all that nonsense, then I ran locked recovery install.bat.

Here are the links to the flashable zip and the ftf for the 23.1.A.0.690 NOBA Lollipop Stock. There is no recovery yet for lollipop stock based Z3TC ROMs, so the zip comes without one.
Downloads:
Flashable PreRooted Zip - GDrive
FTF - GDrive
After installing and gaining root, to get system R/W access you need to run my script which will enable RICDefeat on the device and allow R/W of the system partition. Just extract SGP621-RICDefeat.zip and run the install batch file. It should also work for other devices, but as I have not personally tested it on anything else than my SGP621 and Z2, I cannot guarantee for it. So if this makes your cat explode, it is not my fault.

No recovery for stock based lollipop ATM. I updated the post with that Info now. Also I do not think exposed works with lollipop, or does it? The installer at least told me that it is not compatible at the moment.

Hi, thanks for your work. I make my own zip with ftf and supueruser zip file. The Rom is working perfect and root works, but I can not mount /sytem as RW, every time I tried (as root) I get an "operation not permitted" is there anything I can try to write in system?
Thanks!

I needed exposed for some feature that some modules give me and I went back to 4. 4. 4 I guess I'll just have to wait for a little bit longer till exposed is working for lollipop and TWRP too. but again thanks a bunch lowtraxx
Noob question, sorry >.<
Hi, @lowtraxx. I'm kind of new to Sony devices, so I'm not confident with rooting yet.
Anyway, my Z3TC (SGP621) is still on stock 4.4.4. So to get rooted 5.0.2, do I need to follow your guide:
"[How-To] Rooted Stock or CM12 with Locked Bootloader for SGP621 using giefroot" from numbers 1 to 37 (with rooted stock)
then flash the prerooted lollipop zip via TWRP? Then the updated RICDefeat? No need to use the lollipop ftf?
Thank you so much for all your work!

Yeah, check out this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
In short, what you will have to do:
1. Go back to kitkat.
2. Root and install recovery.
3. Create a flashable zip with prfcreator (tutorial in the link).
4. Paste the flashable zip to your sd card and flash it via recovery.
The process is not so hard, just follow the instructions. If you want, I can make you a flashable zip and post a download link, but I won't be able to to it before tonight when I get home :/
Ok, thanks
This seems rather complicated. I also have a xperia zr, on that i just flashed the recovery via flashtool and then flashed the superSu zip via recovery, that gave me root.
Isn't there any other simpler way for xperia z2.

You may try this: http://techjeep.com/2015/04/04/how-...xperia-z2-running-lollipop-locked-bootloader/
Im not sure if it's going to work, I have not tried it yet.
I have also heard of another way with an app called Kingroot or something, but rumor has it that this method sends your IMEI to a company in China or Japan or something.
The safest way is to downgrade to KitKat, root + install recovery and then upgrade to rooted lollipop from recovery. (Tutorial in my last post and again, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155)
Hmm....ok.
Looks like i need to do some read and try the previous method. It seems safe for the device.
I used to run CM12 though, can i flash the zip from that itself or is it necessary i go back to kit-kat.

The zip file has to be flashed from recovery. If you have recovery at the moment, you can flash the zip. If you are running CM12 at your device now, you do have recovery, so just do a backup of your data, flash the zip file created with prfcreator and wipe cache/dalvik.
If you don't have recovery, you have to downgrade to Kitkat in order to install recovery.
Sent from my Xperia Z2 somewhere in Norway
---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------
What's important is step number 6 in the tutorial: "6. Uncheck all the Include options [ ], we don't need them, we will flash them with Flashtool after the update. I think it's still safer to flash kernel, baseband, boot and other system critical parts of the firmware from Flashtool.
(But if you want to include them anyway then you can skip part 11 and start your phone normally.)"
If you are at CM12, and choose to NOT include the options he is talking about in step 6, you HAVE to do step 11 aswell.
If you choose to include them, then you skip step 11 and reboot phone normally

Hello, guys.
Today I made a full working, flashable TWRP 3.0 recovery for our single SIM device. But do you still need it? Cause I made it for personal use, and if you do - I can post it here. Just need your answer. Thx!

Great, please upload it! Does it work with marshmallow? Just flash it in flashtool? And is it hotbootable as well?
Yes please post it!!
Yeah please upload it. I am eagerly waiting for it.
But rather put it into the development section then. And a question... What do you think about building cm for this device?
So, as soon as I finish some test for DualSim version - will post it here. Need also some help with thread creating - it will be first time when I create a new Dev thread on XDA, so I need to respect all stuff like credits, devs, license etc. PM me who can help.

Guide for installing​
Put twrp1.img/twrp2.img to Fastboot folder
Hold Shift and then right click on tge window
Then "Open command line here"
In command line write "fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img/twrp2.img
Connect your phone holding Vol+ button
A blue LED will light up for a while, you will receive "Done or Ok" in command line
After that disconnect your phone abd turn it on
And when yellow LED will appear on Sony logo, press Vol+ one time
Soon you will enter the recovery main menu
twrp1.img for SingleSim and twrp2.img for DualSim respectively
This recovery doesn't have to be reflashed or rehotbooted - this is FOTA one, it will rest untill you reflash FOTA partition

To root your phone flash custom kernel from This thread. Then flash my recovery (still uploading DualSim version, wait 5 min), and through recovery flash latest SuperSu binary and DRM Restore (for recover lost functions after unlocking Bl).

You can flash a custom kernel from another thread by using Flashtool. But to flash the recovery you need to use Fastboot. Maybe after I will merge kernel with recovery into one flashable unit, but I need some time to figure out how to do that. Stay tuned, cheers!

Am very thankful for all your help and knowledge, my resume is this:

- SuperSU flashed OK
- drmrestore flashed OK (at this point I really start appreciate for the first time after months my device)
- Installed Xposed OK
Everything looking so good, I get some time installing lot of things... then I decided to make a Wipe cache / dalvik and unfortunately I get stuck at the boot screen.

To those guys who wiped out their huawei y625-U32 stock firmware with T.W.R.P recovery or sim network ;can get their phone back.
Steps -
1)If u still have T.W.R.P,
Download U32 stock recovery from here and flash it.
Get the help of flashify.apk if u lost the recovery and cant flash a img file.
Recovery.img U32
And get the stock rom from here
Extract that rom.
Make a folder in memory card and name it 'dload'
put your update.app in dload folder.
Go to U32 stock recovery.
It will show something like U32-V100.......B105
Now hit apply update from sd card
wait
done
It will take a while.

Has anyone successfully, and without subsequent issues, rooted the g4 XT1622?
I have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. Have tried flashing two separate versions of Super SU (version 2.78 and 2.82) .
Each appears to flash successfully and complete but when rebooting phone stays on a black screen.
I then have to reboot into recovery and restore the Nandroid backup.
I tried Kingroot but that says no solution for this device.
If anyone has managed it I'd be grateful for the detail.

Indeed you are correct. The stock kernel does not have an exploit for root access, that's why SuperSU and Magisk leave you at a black screen upon flashing the zip file. Having any custom kernel should fix the problem(Vegito or ElementalX).

Thanks - I may be trying to do something wrong but when I tried to flash ElementalX from the app it returned a message that the device needed to be rooted to install ElementalX. I wasn't sure where to go from there.
yes, i am running rooted G4 (xt1622) with TWRP and super su 2.78 now. as far as I can remember, there is one line of code like 'systemless=true' (or something similar, it's easy to search online) to enter via the Linux terminal. Then it can be rooted successfully. without that line, i got a soft-bricked mogo g4 as well (black screen forever).
it's a shame that the rooted phone cannot install OTA updates at all. I am still on Android 6.0.1 (which is the stock rom and very old). I am planning to restore to stock then upgrade to Nougat recently.

I really appreciate your great help. still confused about the procedure that needs to take:
plan a:
1. go back to ATHENE_MPJ24.139.23.4(the current one, 6.0.1), everything including the stock recovery
2. wait for OTA, update a couple times to the latest nougat
plan b:
1. flash the file from your link which is ATHENE_NPJS25.93-14-4,
2. is this the end?
I do notice the difference in the name: MPJ vs. NPJS, does that matter? I flashed several phones, but never figure out what the names meant.

MPJ = Marshmallow
NPJS = Nougat
I think flashing last firmware is the best thing to do in your case. I have a batch file you can use if you want

Note: You do need minimal adb & fastboot files inside flashing folder (You probably already know that but just to be sure)
