unlocked bootloader on 6.0 and rooted with TWRP and xposed installed

I may bite the bullet to flash .111 (F3213), but I don't want to brick the new phone.

You have to use the correct boot.img file
The boot file and the firmware should be of the same version

I downloaded here in xda a rootkit that there says is for my version but it didn´t work for my phone. just like previous user i have the F3213.

Not at this moment no, but it appears that a pre-rooted zip isn't far off.

Is it the latest 4.4.4 for Z2? And is it pre rooted? Which means can I flash this on my locked Z2?

Please, let me know when it will be possible to ROOT 23.0.1.A.0.167 Stock fw with locked bootloader. I will be very grateful.

You will likely be waiting some time, because it's possible to downgrade and flash pre-rooted zip or to OTA certain FW's maintaining root, I don't see devs putting a lot of effort into finding an exploit. That said best hope is probably an exploit being found for Z3 which is transferable to Z2, but as I say you may be waiting some time.
So what you recommend to do if i want to have root on 167?

Try to create a rooted update package from the update ftf: [4.4.4] Create ROOTED update package from stock FTF [LOCKED BOOTLOADER]
So I need to flash dual recovery to do that
How can I make a full stock backup just in case I need to use it for warranty?

You don't need, you can flash back an original ftf anytime or repair with Sony PC Companion. We are talking locked bootloadr, so until you don't unlock it, you have warranty.
But if you already have root on prev. firmware, you should install DualRecovery and boot into TWRP and you can backup your system there.

I just bought the phone and I really miss root hehe so if I don't unlock the bootloader I can change recovery and flash a stock root rom without losing warranty?

Yes, if you have older firmware on the phone, you can try the root options available and you can use recovery without unlocking th bootloader. If you have the latest, than you can possibly flash an older firmware to your phone and root that. But you need to read a bit, to understand everything correctly.

[Kernel][Stock MM XT1572][EU]Full SYSTEM ROOT

hi guys
i recently bought a moto x (3 days now before i had nexus then iphone then switch back to android again) and check out all thread here and there to root android 6 mm and all i got is a systemless root and it's not what i wanted so i modified stock android 6 kernel (EU version XT1572) to get full system root . (with this tutorial from Chainfire (first post))
simple way to get root :
1. systemless root : you can flash latest BETA-SuperSU form here and you don't need any kernel or anything like that just a twrp recovery ( you can find out how to flash it if you don't know )
2. full system root (traditional root) : just flash my kernel in fastboot and install stable SuperSU v2.65
Warning !!!!
if you don't know about fastboot adb flash recovery root ... don't use it it's not for newbie .
if you okay with systemless root so ignore this thread .
I am not responsible for any damage on your phone so be careful
nandroid backup is always welcome so if something wrong you can restore only system and boot and your back where you are before .
enjoy
sry for my en.
special thanks to :
Chainfire

Nice work!
Thankssss <3 was looking for this for ages. Once i get my moto back i will test this imediatly ?

You need to flash SuperSU 2.67. @gladiac has a patched boot..img.. I'm sure he'd share his work with you

Got the same problem seems like the root mode in the dev options is not working. I flashed SuperSu and it's recognised by Root checker. If TWRP asks you to root the device before booting, do NOT swipe to install

Of course I would! But I'm still on 20150220 as I was planning to skip the current version so I did not patch the newest boot.img yet. If there is demand I can still do it though.

How can I root my Z2 with Marshmallow?

Hey!
recently flashed the Autralian MM FTF onto my Z2 D6503!
Now i miss my loved apps like Greenify, Lucky Patcher, Intelli3G, XPOSED, a custom recovery, amplify and so on. I tried to root it using KingRoot4.6 (sucsessfully) and then used Supersume.apk to replace the kingroot app with supersu. but after every reboot i need to root it again, which means my methode isn``t working problery! How can i root it? i really want SuperSU, Busybox, Xposed and the [NUT`s] Dual Recovery!
thats the build:
D6503_23.5.A.0.570_1281-9715_R4D
It depends on weather you want to unlock your bootloader or not
I typically flash a Kernel with recovery then flash systemless root but you do require a unlocked bootloader to do it this way
You could downgrade to KK, use a root tool to install root and recovery then use recovery to upgrade to a pre-rooted MM

Afaik the only way for the moment, it's to downgrade to a previous version, then flash a MM pre rooted rom.

You can use a tool called PRFCreator, you will need a SuperSu zip and a FTF of your choice

I tried to do that (downgrading to KK, rooting, dual recovery, making a flashable pre rooted MM) but ended up with bootloops. Tried to flash a stock however I, with difficulty, could only flash KK again. This time I used wirelessly downloaded all the software updates.
I think I will wait some time, till a better way exists.
There is a pre-rooted MM in the forum, I've tried earlier. But it is for D6503, not my d6502. It has a 3g fix, but in About Phone, it reads D6503. And root isn't working there as well. or perhaps I was doing something wrong.
I'm starting to think that MM isn't root-friendly

You will get the root soon for MM. This is why I hate Sony devices. Updates also comes late and rooting also comes late. Fed-up with this z2. Gonna go with Samsung
