Best way to root new XZ - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Hello Forum,
So I've checked out the new AndroPlusKernel v01 but before I try it I'd thought I'd ask the following.
Currently have a new XZ that does not have the 1.1.A.0.1 maintenance update or 39.0.A.1.250 update.
So it's currently running 39.0.A.1.213 - Would it be possible to root it now and update but keeping it rooted ?
Or just update it and then use AndroPlusKernel ?
I know towelroot worked on the older versions so didn't want to update before checking.
Many Thanks

[Q] [Q7] Urgent Help. No Ota. Urgent Help. please help with this HTC One M7

I have an unlocked HTC One M7 currently running android 4.2.2 (2.24.401.9). I want to update it to latest version and it is not showing any OTA update. It says your phone has latest version which I know is not. I need to know how can I update it manually to 5.11.401.10 version. I got a tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 //: . But i am confused with numbers. I have one more doubt that is are the updates given on the page complete. So basically two questions.
1. Can i directly update from 2.24.401.9 to 5.11.401.10? Or i need to update intermediate versions too?
2. If I successfully updated to 5.11.401.10 from the link given, will my phone have the same capability and features as after official update to this firmware? Or, I need to do something else in addition to installing these files?
Also, please verify if the method on this page is correct? If not kindly link me a tutorial describing the exact process.
Thanks.
Hi, you don't need any other updates as the latest one will contain all previous fixes so just update directly. Also you should have the same features as before.
And the link should be fine
Hope I could help and good luck updating

info about root & eventually nougat

Hello guys,
i'm hating my z3 6.x because i can not move app on sd, so i've decided to gain root access for app2ds feature and maybe install nougat.
Can you suggest me a easy guide to root (maybe no onerootclick or similar, i would like to learn something) and maybe a nougat stable rom or at least the best rom that do not lose any official function in 6.x?
thx a lot,
andrea

There is no official Nougat for Z3, it will never be: http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-snapdragon-800-801-712930/
You need an unlocked bootloader and start testing work-in-progress custom ROMs from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/orig-development
Or if you just want root on MM, use the device to upgrade to the latest official Marshmallow release .291, and then follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/recovery-root-mm-575-291-lb-t3435214

Download and run this app ,it will give you a string of numbers start that start with 15 or 11
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298935345
If the first two numbers are 15, you can have root and be running up to date custom ROM in an hour. If the first two numbers are 11 you can still do some cool customising but no root or custom ROMs , for the most part anyway.
Anyway download and run the app from link above / then you can start here if you want to keep going. Good luck

You can get root it's just going to require more effort and the use of a PC. Go to the following link and scroll down to the directions for the S5 that starts with 11... ignore the fact that it says Toshiba.
