Need Help

If I have the latest firmware on 4.2.2 it sounds like the only way I can root is using this thread and injecting an older fw that was rootable.

Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49733908

Doomlord mentions I need to substitute ZL kernels (assuming for both first and final flash) however I'm not sure what kernels need to be used. Can someone please help me?

OK, I did something stupid.
I forgot to save the SuperSU ZIP file on my phone before flashing the recovery, and now it's stuck in a bootloop Sony -> Xperia logo.
I tried to reboot system via CWM, but bootloop persists.

Someone please help me.

Would you be so kind to share the 4.4.2 (10.5.A.0.230) root solution? Btw, I know it says ONLY unlocked bootloader, but what could happen if I use this in my locked device?

not quite sure what your asking alusan20raziel, it seems offtopic... CM has root built in... this is totally separate from CM...
