This is an open phone, completely unlike Sony. You won't lose any features whatsoever by unlocking and rooting. You will still have full OTA functionality. Here's a guide I put together:

You will probably get faster ota updates than from opo/cm with the custom Roms and kernel's available lol root is very good on this phone

I prefer custom firmwares.... They just have more functionality integrated and I prefer that....Though rooted with xposed and a bunch of cool modules is pretty good too

yes it will lose warranty but there's always the possibility of the service center not knowing you've rooted and unlocked bootloader if you flash back stock rom.

The most stable Lollipop ROM will most likely be the official lollipop ROM (CM12S), which is meant to be released next month. In order to take that update you first need to be on CM11S though, and it's likely that you're not on CM11S if you have the Chinese model. Go into Settings/About Phone and tell me what it says under Cyanogenmod Version.

You're on CM11S so when the update comes you can take it. Asking which ROM is most stable never really works out, you'll get a bunch of people all with their own opinion contradicting each other. Just find one you think you'll like by checking the features in the OP, and read the last ten pages or so to see what bugs are being reported. Just keep in mind that a lot of bugs are caused by user error.

Yes, you can root the stock ROM and still receive OTA updates. You need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery to flash root but that's ok because you'll still get OTA with those as well.

I have searched and I cannot find a root method for the Sony Xperia Z3 (D6653) I have which is running Android OS 4.4.4 and the firmware version is 23.0.1.A.1.49 - can this specific Z3 be rooted? If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Many thanks.

I have already unlocked the bootloader using Sony's website. What are my rooting options for this device with an unlocked bootloader?

Flash an insecure kernel from the development section
look for advanced stock kernel....
If you have unlocked then it is SOOOOOOo easy to root....
EDIT
Say goodbye to your DRM keys though, if you unlock before rooting you will never see them again. You may want to look in the cross device development section to see the thread about restoring DRM functionality.

Can I assume flashing this kernel would be fine?

Should be, they're are others in the development section as well
Just make sure you read the requirements to make sure your phone and firmware are supported

I tried it but now I have lost wifi on the device and I am flashing it back to stock. I have searched in the development section and I cannot seem to find anything for 23.0.1.A.1.49 other than the above.
Hi Guys, just a quick question... if I root my Stock Marshmallow rom, will I lose OTA updates from Samsung even though the rom is still Stock?
Thanks guys.
Yes, knox will be tripped and no more updates, you'll have to flash the newer firmware manually.

Keep in mind, that if you determine that rooting / installing custom roms is a good option for you many custom roms offer OTA abilities. It's not as straight forward as stock OTA's however if you've determined root / custom roms are for you, you probably have decided simplicity and comfort come after the beneifits of customization & modification.
Hi,
There are only a handful of devs for the Xperia XZ2 and I'm sure all XZ2 owners appreciate them for their hard work and support.
I recently bought the XZ2 considering that it is a better buy than the XZ3 for the price. Upgrading from 2014's Xperia Z2, understanding the current root and bootloader unlock situation has been difficult for me even though I'm not a noob to rooting (I know I'm not an expert but definitely not a noob).
So for the better understanding of new users, I'd like to suggest a thread with all the basic information like:
How to root without unlocking the bootloader.
Methods of rooting XZ2 and supported Android versions.
Unique issues related to unlocking the bootloader and rooting like the camera issue.
How to install stock firmware on an XZ2.
How to Install a custom ROM on XZ2.
Information about protecting the DRM keys.
Updates on Google Camera for Sony Xperia XZ2.

Yes, sad, very sad. In the past some smart guys everytime found a way, let's see. Looking forward.
Please change the thread title, it is deceiving. I thought this thread has the complete guide.
Make it like... [<Request/Help>] <title>
1st of all you cant have root with locked bl, so also you cant flash a custom rom... And the 2nd thing howto install firmware ? Well download xperifirm by @IgorEisberg and flash it with newflasher by @munjeni and yes that is possible on locked bootloader, search those threads and read then you will know howto..
The 3rd thing is::... Why you not search before opening a new thread ?
