Seems there are some issues with xda currently and I can not edit the first post. I have attached the Easy Root Tool on the second post. It's a new version, which should fix a few issues (linux script, jelly bean firmwares)

[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
i installed the adb drivers out of the file included in the download

When I start the install.bat it doesnt seem to detect the device, it starts the deamon and then says to accept any messages on device

I dont get any messages anywhere, I have USB debugging on and unknown source apps on and I have developer stuff switched on too

Phone doesnt seem to be communicating with pc, although it does allow sony companion to start when i connect it

Anyone know why the program aint running feel free to respond I'd be very grateful for any assistance

O BTW I am trying to root my Z2 running on latest 4.4.2 version
[Sony Cross-Device General] kulvertti:
M

Perhaps try to kill any other adb background services like Sony Pc Companion and then try again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Can you access the phone through Windows Explorer? Also check device manager if everything is ok there.

The command "adb devices" might be helpful too.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
Just killed all sony related apps ( it was one) running in task manager and reran no joy unfortunately

Windows explorer & device manager see the phone no probs there

where do i use the adb device command?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Sorry it seems you misread my post. I did not say anything about download. Did you check the device manager?

If you know how to use the cmd, you can cd to the folder /files and then run the command "adb devices". My guess is you did not install adb drivers. In your previous post you mentioned that you installed the adb driver from the file included in the download. However, there is no adb driver included. So please check your device manager and post a screenshot if possible.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
fixed my relpy soz I dont know where to use the adb device command though

Thanks for the swift replies btw :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Could you please still post a screenshot of the device manager?

To run the command, press [Windows key] + [R] and type "cmd" (without quotes) in the pop up. A black window will open. Now type "cd " (without quotes but a space at the end) and then drag and drop the folder /files of Easy Root Tool inside the black window. Press enter and the line in the black window should change to the path. Now you can type "adb devices" followed by enter.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
Hi I thought the adb program included in the download where the adb drivers

I downloaded a Nocturnal fastboot adb set they are only on about samsung and HTC drivers though

Ill carry on looking for the drivers
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
Hi I attached the screenshot to the post m8 I am going to try the cmd you mentioned now
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
You did not show the full device manager. There is also a link for adb drivers on the second post of the thread.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
feeling like a real noob here the change directory command (cd) isnt working its staying in directory c for some weird reason
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
OK opened device manager to the screen it says working properly

Also installed all the drivers from the second post with no issues

Going to try rebooting the phone and check task manager again
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
changed directories in cmd by going 1 step at a time, the command adb devices doesnt show anything though

no sony apps running in windows either
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
It's really hard to help you since you are not following direction. Please show me a screenshot of device manager fully expanded where you can see everything of the device manager and not only your network adapters. You do not need to expand anything.

Also helpful would be if you can get a screenshot on the phone after you connected it to the USB with expanded status bar (to show the notifications).
[Sony Cross-Device General] LittleSamson:
If you have problem with the tool not detecting the device, try turn USB-mode to MSC.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
Hi just tried this switched between both modes but no joy
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
Hi sorry if it seems like I am not following direction I am trying to, I think I found the device manager view your looking for and I also added the notification screenshot
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Thank you for the screenshot :)

If you connect your phone, it should actually show that USB debugging is enabled. However, on your screenshot, it does not show this notification. Please check again if USB debugging is enabled on your phone.

Also make sure that in Avast, no option like "Prevent USB debugging" is checked. You might also try to disable Avast on your mobile.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Duffmyver:
Thx for that m8 it seems to be running, I'm sure i switched on debugging yesterday. Dunno I must of had a brain fart

I'll let you know how it goes

[Sony Cross-Device General] AndroPlus:
SONY started to patch CVE-2014-3153, so all root tools using CVE-2014-3153 won't work on the firmware released after August 2014.
[Sony Cross-Device General] orangeyes:
Could you post your system version?

Because I am rooted but not sure if the latest Z2 tablet update is rootable!
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
It works up to 314. If Sony patches the exploit, just flash the kernel from 314 and root it. After that, flash back latest kernel.

I have teamwin recovery project v2.7.0.0 on my rooted phone.

1. if I update to official firmware 14.4.a.0.108 will I loose my recovery?

2. if then I root using v12 of easy root will I regain access to my recovery or will I have to do what you suggest after rooting in first posts.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
1. Yes

2. You have to reinstall the recovery.

How did you install the recovery? Note that if you're using a custom kernel, you don't need to use this tool.

there is no apk..(not inside the zip anyway)

There is an apk inside SuperSU zip. But easiest way is to install by recovery menu. See first post and various posts in this thread for how to install recovery menu.

[Sony Cross-Device General] DeGozaru:
Successfully rooted my Z2 following the steps provided (as well as the change to the install.bat file) and can confirm rooted under root checker.

However, now trying to get dual recovery installed but my phone won't boot into recovery at all.

Rebooted, pressed volume keys a bunch of times with no luck.

Tried booting into recovery using ADB but still doen't work.

Thus, can't install SuperSU or recovery. :(

--

Disregard. My mistake was downloading the flashable zip and not the installer.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Devzz:
Same issue here hah! I can't get the dual recovery working even after I download SuperSU as .apk and grant root. Let me know if you figure it out!
[Sony Cross-Device General] DeGozaru:
So I may have celebrated a little too early.

Downloaded the installer version and ran successfully but phone did not boot into recovery.

Can't make it boot into recovery either.

Countless reboots and volume mashing. No luck.
[Sony Cross-Device General] madgalaxy:
I did not install the dual recovery just rooted with this method and unzipped the SuperSU file and moved the "superuser.apk" (located under the "common" folder) to my phone and installed. Then another reboot and all is well.

I had no reason to install the dual recovery - seeing I just wanted root.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kitrax59:
yup, this worked for me as well on my first try. [emoji12]
[Sony Cross-Device General] DeGozaru:
Well - I gave up with recovery so tried just SuperSU.

Managed to install APK fine, but does not update binaries. Just get a failed message and told to reboot and try again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] madgalaxy:
Are you using the apk inside the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r5.zip" file from chainfire's site? If so, I am not sure what is going on then...
[Sony Cross-Device General] DeGozaru:
That's exactly what I'm using.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Devzz:
I'm in the same boat as DeGozaru - I want to install the recovery in my case but the binaries don't update for a start. The phone IS rooted and root is confirmed working by TiBu and Root Checker but for some reason SuperSU .apk doesn't update the binaries.
[Sony Cross-Device General] quailallstar:
This is the file that I installed which I extracted from within the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r5.zip" file. I just manually installed it. I was able to update binaries with no hickups. Give it a try.

I just cant get into recovery via hardware or software no matter what...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Devzz:
That's the file I used but it doesn't work. When I open it, it asks if I want to update binaries. I select normal and it fails.
[Sony Cross-Device General] orangeyes:
Confirmed working fine on latest firmware.

I had to download manually the apk and run the tool a couple of times but it worked perfectly!!

I have a Verizon Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet model SGP561. It is running the latest Verizon firmware. I want to root and install a recovery. I am reading all I can first.

Seems like [NUT]'s roots as well, correct?

So, I first tried [NUT]s dual recovery. Followed the exact directions from a windows 7 machine. Drivers were install and all was recognized. However, for some reason it kept failing when I tried to root, and was not creating a log in the various places. I tried re-d/l'ing and starting from scratch twice, but I could not get it to work.

I then tried Easy Root and it failed the first time, but I reran it and it succeeded. I then installed the recommended SU and that worked perfect. I installed root checker and was rooted. I installed TiBU and ran a full backup, then I went and ran {NUT]S again and it worked the first time. So, anyone doing this I would go in that order.

I did exactly the same installed on unrooted 108 ROM on WIN7. After install.bat it seemed that nothing happened after the short burst on the dos window. I unplugged my phone thought the better of it, plugged it back in and the install/root continued and it all worked = root and recovery fine.

So just make sure you give it time.
