You can easily read or copy it with any file manager. I used es file explorer and in settings enabled to view system files. The default.prop is located directly in the root directory of the device.

Wow, but if we have not root access, how we can edit it?

you can try total commander

 

[alby_var]

We have not root, we can open and modify file, but not save it. We should be decompile kernel and repack it with the modifies

 

[husam666]

Thank you, but where is located this file? Or good, where you have find that?

It's in the ramdisk

with total commander you can copy repertory root on the sd racine and after you can edit defaut.prop

I am sorry if I say something wrong or something already posted here. I am not a dev, I have zero skills in android development. But as I know, Sony's devices do not have real recovery as, for example, Motorola or Nexus ones. On stock ROM the recovery should be built into the kernel (as I remember, in ramdisk). To boot into recovery you need to press several times vol + button when after Sony logo the red (orange, etc) light appear (on my Z3 tablet I get into recovery this way). On AOSP based ROMs (CyanogenMod) Sony devices could have the real recovery, that should be flashed into FOTAKernel partition, but the kernel itself should support it (as CM kernel does).
P.S. There are some guys in Z2/Z3 subforums which could help to build stock kernel with recovery. @DooMLoRD @AndroPlus.

Hello guys, at 70% i solved for boot in recovery, stay tuned for updates

Guys, i have find the method for editing default.prop and get root and recovery for this device. But i need help. Can anyone that have linux, decompile kernel and send to me ramdisk? The kernel must be of E2303_26.1.A.2.99_Central Europe1

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

@ kcinnaydede the kernel image can be also in img format, we can flash it via fastboot. But we need to decompile it for editing all .prop files and set kernel insecure and debuggable

This is the tool for decompile kernel.sin and recompile it.

Linux here

Gimme a kernel file and how to find that hou want

 

[kcinnaydede]

I no maitrise English no definitely
under windows with flastool and ultraedit I could change data them insecure debugg of kernel_S1-SW-LIVE-54C8-PID1-0005-MMC.elf.ramdisk.gz
he must definitely have a means there under windows to re-compile.
I dont know not linux sorry i m try understand

DL'd the kernel (found at xperia firmware after extacting it from ftf)
Dl'd the script

areword found where operator expected at ./unpack-kernelsin.pl line 58, near "1F"
(Missing operator before F?)
Number found where operator expected at ./unpack-kernelsin.pl line 58, near "F 8"
(Do you need to predeclare F?)
Bareword found where operator expected at ./unpack-kernelsin.pl line 58, near "8B"
(Missing operator before B?)
syntax error at ./unpack-kernelsin.pl line 58, near "1F "
Execution of ./unpack-kernelsin.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Another solution for decompiling?
