Hi Guys I would like to share what I've learn here in XDA on how to root our Xperia ZL running latest FW .230 (C6503) Kitkat.

Note:
This method might work on other C650X devices. Im using C6503

What you need:

Computer
Flashtool
Kitkat Firmware (you can get them here)
Kernel with Recovery (you can get that here in XDA. Im using .101 kernel with recovery here)
SuperSU (please look that up here in XDA)

Step 1:

Update to Kitkat (skip if you are already in Kitkat)

Step 2:
Copy SuperSU zip in you Internal Memory

Step 3:
Run Flashtool and connect your phone as Fastboot (switch off then connect phone while holding down the Volume Up key)

Step 4:
Using Fastboot press the lighning button then select Fastboot and select kernel to flash

Step 5:
Unplug Device then boot in to recovery. (after sony logo comes up keep pressing volume up key to enter in recovery mode). Select SuperSU.zip then flash. Once successfull switch off the device using the Recovery (power off device is normally located in advanced options).

Step 6:
Flash back stock kernel. Connect your device via Fastboot again. Using Flashtool click on lightning button then select Flashboot, select the Latest FTF you have then Exclude everything except KERNEL and FOTA. check the screenshot below. thanks for @anagramgenius for the screenshot. Then flash and Reboot your device! now your device is Rooted! :D

I think the kernels that include a recovery that will allow installing aftermarket zip files require an unlocked boot loader..

This is similar to how I rooted my 6506...

Hi Guys! Good News! Advanced Stock Kernel is now Up! Please proceed to this link to download the file.. if you followed the steps provided from post 1 what you need to do is to copy attached file to internal memory and flash it via recovery.

The EASIEST way is just simply download the file from this post Advanced Stock Kernel Kitkat extract boot.img using Winrar or 7zip to your desired location. Using Flashtool click lightning select Fastboot then select boot.img you just extracted then connect your phone via fastboot, Flash! then Reboot!

note: To completely fix root permissions simply reboot your device to recovery mode then reboot system via recovery it will ask you to fix root just simply navigate to fix and select then it will automatically reboot.. :D
