I've always wanted to root my phone but didn't want to loose my warranty. So recently my 1 year warranty ended and now I would like to root my phone but I'm not sure how to do it and this is the only forum that i really trust.
I have the latest android version installed (5.1.1) and my phone is the Xperia M2 D2303.
It says that I can't unlock my bootloader "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"
If someone could explain how to root it please do so.
Thanks in advance
Only way to get root on 5.1 LB is by flashing a pre-rooted zip via recovery on rooted kk. If you have already updated then you'll need to downgrade back to kk then root(now much easier). Install recovery and then make your own pre-rooted firmware using the prf creator tool

Could you give me a link if there's a forum thread on how to do that

Can i relock bootloader after rooting and keep root?
i'm using Xperia M2 Dual D2302
Relock bootloader = loosing root.
Also seems pointless if you didn't back up your ta keys/drm

thanks guys for responding
all i want is updating the firmware from update center
can i do that with unlocked bootloader?
Ota updates don't work with unlocked bootloader, only way is to flash ftf via flashtool.

So can someone explain how to downgrade my Xperia M2 (d2303)
I want to root it so i need android KitKat
You'll either have to download the ftf via flashtool or Xperiafirm or most likely search on here there'll be one lurking about. Then just flash the ftf via flashtool wipe cache n data and don't forget to remove the ta part and sim lock part if present.

When you load ftf in Flashtool you'll get a list of files that are going to be flashed. On the right side you can exclude. So if you want to exclude ta. check it in the right side.
Good Luck

Hello there,
I tried to downgrade my M2 from Lollipop to Kitkat using flashtool but I unpluged my phone during the process and I cancelled the flashing and now my phone is bricked. It's not turning on, I can't put it into flashmode, because the flashtool is not detecting the phone now and I can't flash the firmware again.Any solutions how to fix this problem, please?

Hello,
I did Hard- Reset to the phone pressing volume up and power button and I got the phone back to normal,but I tried to flash Kitkat again, because I have problems with my gps after upgrade to this stupid Lollipop and my phone is in bootloop now and I can't even flash new firmware, I can't even hard reset it again, the phone just vibrate 3 times but nothing happen after that. While is on charger is just showing Sony logo and that's it. You can see in the attachment what flashtool is showing when I try to flash the firmware.
So you can get your phone in flash mode but not flash a firmware on it... How about recovery? Or isn't it booting that far?

Is not booting that far...I tried again and I thought everything is gonna be fine but the phone is in bootloop again...also I don't know what this script is all about, but I pressed yes?
Stupid question but you did tick wipe data and cache in flashtool. Important when going from 4.4.4 to 5.1 and vice versa

Yes I ticked wipe all user data...
Be sure you download a STOCK (Official) Firmware.
Also downgrade your flashtool to an older version, the fsc script (Flashtool SCript) has something to do with newer devices (More hassle to make it work)
Suddenly theres a brown out while im flashing my xm2. When the electricity came back. I can't open the flashtool anymore. Nothing's happen after running the program. Anyone knows what to do?
did you try reinstalling flashtool?
Reinstall flashtool to latest version
Older versions work better use 9.18.6 or earlier.

no i did not unlock the bootloader ..opps ..didnt know about it.
by the way what is sony ric?
will try that ..
any other solution ???
Nope, if you have bootloop and no back up to restore. Which I'm guessing you don't as you are trying to root. You'll have to more than likely re-flash the ftf ideally wiping user data and cache to avoid problems and start from from the beginning. My advice root the proper way.
