1-You need old stock room with working root and recovery (if u havent rooted firmware flash firmware .230, it is good for easy rooting by towelroot)

2-Download PRFCreator, XperiFirm and Flashtool

3-Download SuperSU (https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip)

4-Download firmware for your phone (using XperiFirm)

5-Create FTF using Flashtool (Tools->Bundles->Create and here move all thigs from folder list to firmware content)

6-Open PRFCreator and here put your created FTF, downloaded SuperSU.zip, check all thigs and click Create

7-After finished copy your new created zip firmware to your sd card

8-Boot into recovery on your old rooted rom (I used Philztouch)

9-Wipe all caches (I also format system partition)

10-Instal your lollipop zip rom from sdcard

11-Enjoy rooted Android 5.0.2

I dont have recovery now, I tryed include it to rom by PRFCreator and get bootloop, so react if some get working recovery.

EDIT:

Do not try install or flash XZDualRecovery after upgrade to Lollipop, it made bootloop because there is some problem with SELinux

EDIT2: Added download links

EDIT3:

Updated with working XZDualRecovery

Hope you understand my terrible English
