Probably never, because it's easier to downgrade, root, install recovery and flash a prerooted lollipop rom than to try and find another exploit in lollipop

Never? I just did root with a custom kernel which included TWRP, and from TWRP I flashed SuperSU update the latest version, and voila.,.rooted and Xposed working.
By the way, I managed to fix the issues, it was not because the Xposed was in alpha stage, because that is the only Xposed for Lollipop, it was because I had an old TWRP.
So now I am rooted and all working good.
So you can root Lollipop without downgrading or flashing a ftf.
P.S. Ofcourse, with an unlocked bootloader.
Even if the downside of unlocking is losing the DRM Keys, well don't worry about it, the camera takes beautiful photos even so.
as you said you have to unlock the bootloader for that, not everyone wants to do that
Yes, as the op used pccompanion they obviously had a locked bootloader, hence my answer based on the fact he had a locked bootloader
Hi,
I was wondering, since we have got the marshmallow update, has anyone tried the chainfire's systemless root method. I wanted to try it, but don't want to void the warranty yet. Is it working or there is a fix for it applied by Sony to prevent it.
Thanks
I looked into it but requires flashing boot image specificaly made for the device
So the boot image is not available for z5?
You would need an unlocked bootloader
Flashing b oot image on Sony devices requires unlocked bootloader as our friend mentioned.and there is no one here to make modified image
How about this?
I wanted to flash stock firmware on my Xperia XA, as I have the global firmware but should have my carrier specific one. The phone is unrooted and bootloader is locked. Will flashing remove the DRM keys required for software updates?
No,You lost DRM keys only when You want to unlock bl.

Nope you are fine using flashtool provided you only include the following details as in the screenshot attached
Thanks, I've only ever had to use flashtool on a rooted device until now so I thought I should check.

Any Sony smartphone with unlocked bootloader won't get OTA update. Not even with Xperia Companion.

First of all,if you need to back up your TA keys, you need to downgrade to Marshmallow.
Just unlock the bootloader and flash a modified kernel. Then flash magisk and safety fix.
Alternative metheod: unlock the bootloader and flash existanz custom Rom.you will have root plus tons of added futures
