I was able to find an easy method of rooting and installing clockwork mod recovery on the Sony Xperia tipo ST21a (should also work on the st21i model) with a locked bootloader.
What you need:
1) a Windows PC
2) a sony xperia tipo
3) a working internet connection
4) usb cableto connect your phone
5) unlockroot pro
6) the zip file for cwm
so first of all, we need to download the program unlockroot pro [37.94MB] download link is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By158glMMBkhMVNBTGtyYnZpem8/edit
once its downloaded, run the installer and follow the instructions provided. after this is installed, run it. you will be asked for a code, just enter this: URPTKVMURDKBFEYNOFUK
there shoul be obvious direction from there to root the phone
after the phone has rebooted, make sure you have usb debugging enabled (settings -> development -> usb debugging) and you will need the zip packege to install cwm which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/tipo-clockworkmod-t2003069 along with the instructions on ow to install it (it's really straight foward )
thanks, and i hope this helps

Please follow this tutorial, it will lead you to flash firmware using Flashtool
How to install the newest Android 4.1.2 for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
a) First of all, you need to install driver into your PC (You can use PC Companion to do it)
b) Download and install latest Flashtool from HERE.
c) Download also Android 4.1.2 firmware (you can find it HERE or HERE) for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
d) Paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
e) Open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
f) Turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
g) After few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
GOOD LUCK
TWRP should allow you to mount your device as USB device and install a zip file that contains a rom.

Can anybody please guide me through the process of rooting the xperia z2 [D6502]?
i have unlocked the bootloader. It is currently running on marshmallow.
All i need is root access.
To obtain the root on your Sony Xperia Z2, you will need to install ‘ADB Tools’ first. Then, you’ll need to go into the Developer Options of your Xperia Z2, enable USB Debugging and make sure that ‘Unknown Sources’ is enabled as well. From here, you can download the Community RootKit from the source link below and then follow these instructions.
– Plug in your Sony Xperia Z2
– Open a Command Prompt inside the folder with the rootkit and type RUNME.bat before pressing enter
– Read the instructions that you see appear in the command prompt and do what they say
– Reboot your device once it has completed and the device should be rooted.
Once your Sony Xperia Z2 has been rooted, you can install both SuperSU and Busybox from the Google Play Store and enjoy your freshly-rooted smartphone. Don’t forget to comment below and tell us your experience with the process, and your rooted phone.
