Sony has updated Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, and Xperia Tablet Z to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update 10.6.A.0.454 firmware but the update, still has not been released in many regions. As the Lollipop update is still seeding other regions of the world will get it very soon.

After updating to Lollipop update, if Xperia Z users are looking for rooting their device then pre-rooted flashable zips are now available. There is no one-click root method available for the time being. Do remember rooting your device voids the warranty.

    what will happen without full wipe ?

    • Anurag Kumar May 23, 2015 at 10:36 pm - Reply

      It may work also. You can try it but only after backing up the whole ROM (whichever you are on)

          Yes full wipe will delete all data.

          Boot your phone into CWM recovery mode there you find one option like “back up and restore” use it.

    That’s wrong. Not detailing…..can you post back with screen shoot and detailing step by step.

    • Anurag Kumar June 1, 2015 at 2:11 pm - Reply

      There is nothing to post, just flash the pre-rooted zip in recovery. What steps you are looking for. Boot your device into recovery and flash it.

      If you are new to recovery and root then please don’t mess up with your device.

      How to navigate in recovery:-

      Use “Power Button” to select any option.
      Use “Volume Up and Volume Down” button to scroll through shown options.
