Hey
I read almost all ROOT guides here (i think) but only thing i discovered is that i need CWM or TWRP for rooting but i also need ROOT to install CWM or TWRP. So I am asking you guys how to ROOT this beautiful device. And yes, i have locked bootloader and no I don't want to unlock it.

Follow exactly what i mentioned if you want to root sucessfully on locked bootloader, i was tried and its work perfectly.
First you have to download the files:
download flashtool here > https://unrestrict.li/flashtool

1. You have to downgrade the firmware to .532 witch is able to support root so download file either direct or torrent here > http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=3442 and download Official firmware 14.3.A.0.757.FTF from here > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2453921 which is need to flash certain files from there, which is called stripped.FTF
if the C6833_14.1.B.1.532_NUT.ftf showed as .zip , simply you change .zip to .ftf and flash via flashtool.
2. Next download root file from binary here > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
After download, you have to run.bat then have option there, choose 0 < it's root for ZUltra (you must turn on usb debugging on XZU) you will sucessfully rooted XZU ;)
3. Next you have to install XZUrecovery, so download here > http://nut.xperia-files.com/ ( download files name ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer.zip (9.37MB) and ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable.zip (7.63MB) )
Use installer.zip to push recovery on XZU While flashable.zip is flash together with custom ROM.
If you want to enter recovery > turn off XZU wait for few second and turn on > when you feel viberate > hold volume down button until enter to recovery
3. Next you have to update firmware from .532 back to 757 > you can choose either custom from monX here > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606414 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712899 (download flashable.zip)
4.Next enter to recovery and make flash the flasable.zip and ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable.zip and don't reboot to system, make power off XZU
Then go to flashtool flash the Official 14.3.A.0.757.FTF(Only exclude system.sin) and untick on wipe app, cache and data.
Done, :) you have rooted XZU with recovery.
I am sorry for the poor english, i try the best to help :). If you still have trouble to root, willing to P.M me. :cowboy:
