SuperSU- settings -Full unrooth. Reboot and download via OTA if it available. there is an option via adb fast boot, but for that look in the FAQ

Just flash latest SuperSU.zip in twrp.
You can downgrade to kitkat by restore twrp KitKat backup or RUU.

Since i want to stay at lollipop, do i just flash the 2.8.6.0 twrp in this Q&A forum? Also, do i nid S-Off? Becauz my main reason to root is to install xposed framework and tweaking the cpu.

Yes and no need to s-off. While in S-On, you can't flash something like firmware. Read more here.
For install xposed on lollipop, you need to use files in this thread instead. Using normal version won't work and may get into boot loop.

One final qn, if after rooting and unlocking and theres an ota stock android update, do i juz remove xposed framework and it will update or do i nid to change back to stock recovery? Or maybe can you advice me on what to do?

Back to stock recovery and then you can update an ota. If you change some file in system partition (like platform.xml I don't know which file is caused), you can't update an ota. You need to back to stock system partition by flash RUU or stock file.
What's going on with kingroot for Xperia z3 lolipop 5.1.1? There is a date for available kingroot for this version?
No there isn't. Kingroot only supports 5.0 not 5.1 You could always flash 5.0.2, root with kingroot then flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1

Did you flash a stock 5.0.2, then root with kingroot, install the latest dual recovery from PC, boot to recovery, do a complete wipe then flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1 from recovery. It should work. I tried it here, worked perfectly.
BTW make sure you put the pre-rooted 5.1.1 on your sdcard before you start so once you go into recovery to do a full wipe you don't reboot until you flash the pre-rooted 5.1..1

Then just delete the recovery after you have flashed the pre rooted 5.1.1. The ramdisks are in the system partition.

It should not do that if you do it properly. You only lose stuff in your phone if you unlock the bootloader and you do not need to do that. Also, making a backup of things you want to keep is always a good idea.

No you will not lose warranty if you follow the locked bootloader tutorial. You do not need to unlock the bootloader to install recovery and flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1
Please take a moment to look through any of the multiple guides in the general section to see how to do this

Kingroot will send your IMEI to an IP address in china, I do not recommend it. Downgrade and use giefroot, install dual recovery, flash a pre rooted 5.1.1, then delete the recovery if you want, but I do not see why you would do this.

You are confusing recovery with losing drm keys when unlocking the bootloader.
I have never come across anyone who has recovery installed correctly and used correctly who has had problems like that
@DANIELTZ19
If you're worried and want another opinion then my advice is that everything GregBradley has stated is correct. His method is also the safest and reliable with an excellent tutorial in the General forum. Read it http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056

If you have a custom recovery (TWRP) and root, you may incur in some problems as bootloop, so I suggest you to take a backup of your file and unroot and install the stock recovery (if you want update)

I currently have a rooted Honor 8 FRD-L04 with TWRP installed, and I'm just wondering how I should prepare for the Nougat Update. I heard that I need to revert to Stock Recovery, and I'm wondering if Huawei's own erecovery can do that. Also, will using erecovery or the normal .img method wipe my phone data? I have unrooted using SuperSU or XDA (I don't remember which one). Is there anything else I should know about? Thanks!

What? SuperSU has a inbuilt unroot feature... Why not using it?

The only problem with unrooting with SuperSU is it will most likely Fail.
This is because SuperSU actually patches the boot.img when you flash it in TWRP and this can't be undone
to fully unroot this phone you'll need to fastboot flash boot.img and stock recovery.img
I find it easier to just use Huawei Backup and dload flash back to B162
and then restore my backup
If your already on the Nougat beta you'll need to do 2 flashes
first flash is the rollback and the second flash will return you too b162

Yes I know but he said that he successfully unrooted it with SuperSU, so no problem there...
I unrooted and went back to stock recovery simply by doing a FULL OTA update. It completely blew away TWRP and rooted ROM when I did it.
