If you speak in this tone, it is unlikely you will ever get any help.
Now back to the topic, I have succeeded in getting the firmware manually. I followed this method :
1. Launch XperiFirm.
2. Go through the selection process for ZR and the latest Lollipop version.
3. In the popped up dialog window, select Manual and wait for links to be copied to clipboard.
4. Launch a download manager and get all the files.
I am getting the last file right now. I have done some more research and am now fairly confident of arriving at a solution soon.
Will update as things progress.

I can give you. The Lollipop version that is.Anyone here got the apk file of "Backup and restore" app in ZR. I'm using a rom cook but it doesn't include this stock app. That's great if you can help me. Thanks
Are you using the Sony stock LP ?? Is it 5.0 or 5.1 ?? Are the bugs in 5.0 fixed in 5.1 ?There will be a button to "Start new thread" unless you are looking to start a 'threat'!

PM me your email ID.
So here's the thing. There's been heavy rains in my hometown of late. And the two ports for the charger and headphones on my phone have long since been broken. Like well over a year. And unfortunately for me, water went into my device. The display looks to be a goner, but when i put it to charge, it seems to power up. Any chance of me salvaging any data from my internal memory? I'm particularly keen on getting my whatsapp data back, if possible. :/
Did you try to connect it to a computer? The internal storage shows up if USB connectivity is set to MTP on your device. It might also show up if it is set to MSC, but I'm not sure about that.
well, i have done the usual. Sadly it doesn't show up. The only thing that does work is fastboot. I hoped somehow it'd boot, and i could use ADB to recover the required data. When i put it to charge, the sony logo shows up, disappears, shows up and does so on and on, as if the boot cycle has been disrupted, making me suspect that my phone's hardware is fried, which i sincerely hope is not the case. Last night i was unable to even reach my home, where there was no power anyway. And also my phone had only like 10% battery remaining, so almost everything doesn't go in favor of me recovering anything from the internal storage. Fortunately my SD card's fine, i can load that up in to my tab and proceed as if nothing really ever happened. It's just that i'm hoping i can recover my whatsapp data and possibly some photos which were saved onto my internal storage.
well, i'll add another detail then, the logo shows up, though the screen is a bit distorted, as the effect of water going in is pretty visible. So what happens is the logo shows, the device powers off, and restarts. Sort of like a bootloop even before the actual boot begins. It's a little complicated. kinda tough to get photos to show too.If the Sony logo shows up, then it is not a display issue.
You should try to flash a firmware (using flashtool) on your device without wiping internal storage and see if you could get it to boot.
Yes even I suggest not to unlock your bootloader unless you want to use some custom rom like cm12 as unlocking the bootloader will decrease the camera performance in low light conditions and some other features like bravia engine 2 will stop working..
Instead if you want to stay on stock Sony rom then just get a pre rooted firmware (of any country) and then flash it through recovery and you will be on 5.1.1 rooted.
If you want recovery also then after you flash the Pre-rooted zip flash the NUT dual recovery flashable zip as well.
I am not willing to unlock bootloader yet.
I am on 4.4.4 with root using SuperSU. Been searching the proper method of upgrading to Lollipop while keeping root or rooting updated Lollipop without unlocking bootloader.
