WARNING: Only works with firmwares under 4.3!
Since Kingo has now replied and the IMEI issues have been resolved, here is my tutorial on how to get root privileges on your Xperia Z safely and even more important easily! No need to worry about bricking now ;) I will also post an alternative method that is just as easy!

So, here we go:
1. Download this file here: http://goo.gl/AIUANa
2. Install it on your computer (you can remove it later)
3. Open the installed program
4. Connect the phone to the computer
5. Go in settings and in developer options and then enable USB debugging
6. Click on ROOT!
7. The phone will now reboot, ROOTED! You are welcome! Please thanks if it helped!

Alternative method(10% more difficult). The only problem is that this is chinese language, so you have to click the exact buttons I tell you.

1. Download this file: http://goo.gl/U6Jwaf
2. Install the software, using the installation buttons as you would on any other windows installation.
3. When you have installed it, you will see a green button, press it. Then connect your phone on USB debugging mode.
4. When the phone is connected the software will recognise the phone and the green button will show "ROOT", click on it.
5. The phone is going to be rooted in some seconds and the process is finished when it will show a tick on the software.
6. The phone will reboot.
7. When it is rebooted, go to google play and download super su.
8. Open super su and it will ask you to update the binaries, and you must click on update, and then normal.
9. A window in chinese will pop up on the phone, this is the screen that allows you to give root permissions to any app. You must click the button on the right.
10. You are done! Root process is complete!
11. This is the most important step. Leave a thanks! If you liked the tutorial, please show it to me!


Post below if you have questions or don't understand!

    Or use this tool by trusted developer bin4ry that will root the same firmware versions (.67 and older) and doesn't need an internet connection to root your device - Root many Android

    Not working for me on 4.3

    It says "Need Root" to download the requisite dependency files then FAILED :(

    Yeah but you need to have adb tools installed right?

    No, unless Bin4ry removed them from the tool since I last used it (unlikely).

    Even if you did, it's preferable to use it over Kingo/Vroot that both send hardware IDs to China as part of the process. Security and transparency should not be sacrificed for ease of use.

    Before you give me the usual line that Kingo doesn't collect anything, I suggest you look on their official Facebook page. They admit they collect various data from your device. Look at the images they posted on 7th November 2013, where they state that they collect hardware IDs and serial numbers.
    Also, they were caught modifying open source software for their tool and only admitted that once caught.

    Anyway, their tool is nothing but a collection of other people's work passed off as their own and nobody on a development site such as this should be recommending use of software created by bottom feeders like that.

    Perhaps change the thread title to reflect that only 4.2.2 and older is rootable by these methods. ;)
