UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS 23/3/2014
Thought I would share this for anyone that's looking for a complete and full root of this phone, this is not my work I was given these instructions for full root of Sony Xperia M Phone by member xzn credits go to him and others mentioned within method here is the method as follows
- FULL ROOT XPERIA M -
material
- Download Framaroot 1.5.3(http://www.2shared.com/file/x5aus8Wd/comalephzainframaroot_153.html?)
- Busybox Pro v9.7.3 (http://www.2shared.com/file/gPQlU2-Q/BusyBox_Pro_9_7_3.html?)
- Busybox Free (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox)
- Tool By Anto Kus (download here http://www.2shared.com/file/e9sDTGJk/rootfixer.html?)
- some snacks and soda
steps
1. Install framaroot 1.5.3 ,open , then select install supersu, then select gandalf, if its failed, try, try n try until success notification appear and ask to reebot,your phone will reboot, after your phone on again , look for supersu app in menu , if supersu not appear in menu try,try n try again until supersu appears
2. Install BusyBox Pro v9.7.3 , if busybox ask for backup, select yes, then busyboz will loading, after 100%, MAKE SURE BUSYBOX IS INSTALLED IN SYSTEM/XBIN select install, select normal install, after success,reboot your XM
up here, Your phone was half rooted (what is half rooted? its mean that your phone can not edit system file, if you try to edit your system file your XM will sudden reboot) (THIS STEP IS SO YOU CAN CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM SETTINGS BEFORE BUSYBOX IS INSTALLED BUT IF YOUR NOT BOTHERED ABOUT A BACKUP THEN YOU CAN SKIP INSTALLING THIS BUSYBOX VERSION AND DOWNLOAD THE BUSYBOX FREE AND USE THAT ONE TO INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION STRAIGHT AWAY)
3. eat your snack and drink your soda, stay relax 
4. Extact Tool by Anto Kus to your pc (you will get superuser.bat and supersu.bat), then connect your XM (connect by msc and you must have install pcc on your pc), then run supersu.bat when prompted grant root access on phone
your xm will reboot
Once phone reboots wait for pc to detect phone again then finish supersu.bat then unplug device, MAKE SURE TO RERUN THE. bat FILE AGAIN AFTER FIRST REBOOT TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE REBOOT FIX HAS BEEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY, BEFORE RUNNING THE SCRIPT AGAIN AFTER PHONE HAS BEEN DETECTED BY THE PC UNPLUG THE PHONE THEN RERUN THE .bat FILE.
5. DOWNLOAD THE LATEST BUSYBOX FREE FROM PLAY MARKET AND LET SMART INSTALL FINISH LOADING, ONCE LOADED SELECT LATEST BUSYBOX VERSION (CURRENTLY AT V1.22.1-stericson) AND MAKE SURE ITS INSTALLED IN SYSTEM/XBIN. ONCE INSTALLED REBOOT PHONE THEN YOUR DONE

Make sure USB debugging is enabled and that PCC has installed the drivers. It didn't work for me either but after PCC installed the drivers it found my device.
This message was brought to you by my Sony Xperia M (C1905), using the XDA app.
OK, finally it worked. Everything like in the guide + enabling USB Debugging

I want to root my xperia M c1904, 4.1.2, but i have some confusion.
could this method work on my xperia??
what is usb drivers?? and do i need this?
rooted succes...but whenever i go to settings..it ask for security password..what is that password?
no success
no success with 15.1.C.1.17 on my C1905
Success
OK, now it works. But I had to use doomlords rooting tool first to prepare the phone. After that framaroot successfully installed SuperSU.
Even with newest firmware 15.1.C.2.8, which showed up in PCC today, and which I have installed (recommencing the procedure).
Best regards,

I rooted via this method a few weeks ago, no problem. Just updated to 15.1.C.2.8, and it has unrooted itself. I go to install framaroot, and the install button does nothing. I can cancel, but not install. Security option is set to allow apps from other sources, debugging mode is on, it just... does... nothing. Any help?

Don't try to root Sony Xperia M this way because if you try this way means that your are half-rooting your Xperia m and not fully-rooting it meaning that every time you try to edit/change your system file your phone will sudden reboot.
How to fully root Sony Xperia M can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457174
This method did not work on my Xperia M, just completed the process for the 5th time and still no root.

Newroot work with all kitkat firmwares but doesn't work with latest kitkat *after 108) .133, .157... firmware or with old JB firmwares!!!
If your running later kernels from out of 108 and newer firmware that you can achieve root following these steps:
1. download the .108 firmware or kernel only
2. flash only the .108 kernel using flashtool
3. Use newroot
4. Reflash back your newer kernel using flashtool

Thanks a lot! It works!
Nobody mention models or what kind of rom does this program root why? is very funny no real data, any one with solid comments about models and rom versions?
Sorry if I'm rude but I think we need some info like what firmware version works with this root or any prerequisite should we have before rooting like bootloader being unlocked etc. Also a simple tutorial would be nice for newbies to avoid confusion. Ill test this out on the latest firmware [.108] on an unlocked bootloader and I will report if this is working.
Its booth for locked on unlocked bootloaders but for no already rooted devices (except rooted by our tool), its tested on last 3 android versions. There is 2 things, it can work or not work, you can try in jellybean and let me know (probaly not working). No more words here since tool is very easy and anybody know what to do with them Enjoy if you found them usefull and easy! Anybody can post detail installation here if allready used my aplication, I am lazy sory!
So I just tested it out and it works. So I figured out, why not just make a tutorial video since it's so simple. Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06S9GUL9U5s
I enabled USB Debugging and Unknown Sources just to be sure.
No need unknown source since usb debuging is enought! Is not easy? I think very easy Did you tried my recovery after rooting, I just want to know how its working on z1, (you need to press volume button after blue led blink to enter into recovery)
It's really easy to root now. Just 1 click. CWM works too. Here's more proof that it works. Good work man

Dude dual recovery doesn't install if rooted via kingroot...if m not mistaken...
well friends, its my first post here on xda.
Eventually I found the easiest way to root D5322 (.472 lollipop 5.0.2 firmware)
and
that is
just run kingroot (I tried english version)
kinguser works like a charm
no need to have superuser or superSU
every app that requires root, works as smooth as butter
like busybox force2SD and all.
I attached the english version of kingroot with this post
those who had rooted their (.470) phone with kingroot and repented later , can also try..
well..
.
.
and if you want to get rid of kinguser that had gotten installed after rooting with kingroot
here is a trick..
I am attaching a zip (thanks to @edwuard )
download that zip
put it in internal memory
extarct that zip in internal memory
now you will get a folder named mrw in your internal memory
..
..
install terminal emulator from market
write the following commands
su
(now grant superuser access)
$ will change in to #
now write the second command
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
(there is space after sh . You can copy this command from here and paste to terminal emulator)
after some sequences in terminal emulator..it will launch SuperSU
and ofcourse remove kinguser
update the binary of superSU
verify root with root checker
.
.
that's it !!
Sequel: Rooting D5322 (Android 5.1.1) :
Well it's for those who have a rooted phone (any previous version) [/COLOR]

Thank you so much for sharing. I can now transfer some of my apps to ext sd card. I can now install more games. Though it can't be changed to supersu using the script and the file you've provided due to unable to update binary, foldermount is working perfectly with kingroot. By the way, I'm using the LTE version D5303 with lollipop .472 and it's now rooted.

This is not even close to simple dude..
This is what i did to root :

2. Flash DUAL_RECOVERY_D5322-LP.img
3. Install supersu then power off
4. Open flashtool and Flash STOCK KERNEL 5.1.1 ONLY KERNEL
5. REBOOT & VIOLA
there are few additions required for noob like me
To make work this method
Requirement :
Rooted D5322 with 4.x.x or 5.0.1 & working recovery installed.
To install recovery:
make sure that you have :
Enabled USB debugging
Enabled Unknown sources

Need step by Step instructions please
Hello
I am a novice with many of the tools listed & the steps outlined, can somebody please help with step by step instructions,
maybe email me [email protected]
:good:
Thanks. For my XPERIA T2 ULTRA DUAL I had to made a change:
Instead of using the Recovery-Software you (rituraj_singh) offered I had to use the software (TWRP) recommended b abcdjdj in his post from 27th May 2014 ((D5322) Dual Recovery) on the XDA-Forum.
For the not-experienced Users of Androxyde Xperia Flash Tool: You can use the XperiFirm-Software (XI-Button in the Flash-Tool) and install the 5.0.1 (19.3.A.0.472)-Firmware from MELA Latin, but you have to overwrite also the Userdata and the Apps-Log, otherwise there are problems. After flashing use KingRoot to root your device, than replace kinguser using the batch-script of w0lfdroid.com (May 2015) placing the mrw-folder (included in the downloaded zip) on the intern memory (important) and executing it with Terminal Emulator. Than open SuperSu (installed by the script, not by you), and actualize the root-script. Afterwards reboot.
A Tip: After having installed the TWRP-Software on your phone you could have problems rebooting into the system, so prepare all and after having flashed the custom prf-rom on the device all would be function!

Here comes a step-by-step-Version (summary) of all the "Posts"s needed for rooting Lollipop 5.1.1 on your Sony Xperia T2 Ultra (Dual).
The copyright is by the "Post"-authors like rituraj_singh and abcdjdj (I took the links to the posts nearby the description of the step) and by w0lfdroid.com, xperiafirmware.com and the software-producers.
I only wanted to create a step-by-step-summary. There is no garantuee which garantuees success using the summery! No responsability dad it does not destroy your mobilephone. Use it at your own risk! Thank you to the original "owners" of the posts. I hope the summary is ok for them! Otherwise contact me.
Time: maybe 1 hour or 2 hours
Tipp: if you until yet did not install Android 5.1.1 on your Xperia T2 Ultra Dual you do not have to follow the steps which are describing how to download the older Firmware via XperiFirm, but you should have installed the FlashTool just for the drivers (You won't use it directly). You can use the steps describing how to root the older Firmware using KingRoot, than continue with step 7.
1) Install the Androxyde FlashTool on your Computer: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php or found on the XDA-Forum, install the ADB-Packages (ADB, ADB-Drivers) on your Computer and make the ADB-Command part of the "path"-Variable of your Computers Terminal (see Google)

19) Unplug the mobilephone from the USB-Cable, start it and follow the instructions
20) After having prepared the mobilephone go to "kingroot.net/wap/download" and download KingRoot (sometime trouble with the site, try it once more)

36) Reboot into System and follow your mobilephone's instructions
37) Install a Root Checker App from Google Play Store and control if it's rooted, afterwards install the backup of your mobilephone made at the beginning
38) Install "Titanium Backup" and disinstall (after having done a backup of the app you want to delete) Apps you do not want
39) Install "Link-to-SD" from GooglePlay, prepare your external SD-Card with a partition manager (using your Computer) and copy all possible apps completly to the SD-Card

Well my friend, first at all, this is a awsome guide, it really help me to load the 5.1.1 on my SP. I Must said that even if this looks
overwhelming at the begining, it's pretty easy to do it.
Just for the FeedBack, this method works in:
T2 Ultra D5306 Single SIM, TELCEL.
I use the US CUSTOM Stock ROM 5.1.1 ( 19.4.A.0.182 ), if ask for the FTF, look at the FTF MEGAPOST.
Thanks to @rituraj_singh for find this method and @theokon to make the Easy-Mode Guide.
This thread must being Sticky.
PS: You have to add one step: When you reboot after the Flash, it can take a while in start the smartphone, It is to prevent panic if they see it takes a lot time to start, they might think it is bricked and try to restart it. :good:
This works great for rooting the phone (D5322) but for me link2sd doesn't read the 2nd partition and keeps giving me unable to mount errors.

You got the error when you try to mount on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 ? it and said that the mount fail?
I had that error as well, maybe you have to try this @virgilone2:
1.- Uninstall the Link2SD.
2.- Install the SD MAID and run it, clean it up.
3.- Reinstall the Link2SD.
4.- Install the Recovery (I use this) [ XZDualRecovery 2.8.21 ] or the same you use in the guide.
5.- Run the Recovery, and go to Wipe > Advance Wipe > Davik Cache, Swipe to Wipe, after it ends go to Reboot > System.
6.- Before your smartphone start as usual, going to pop one little window with a counter, wait to end (Maybe take a while).
7.-Run you Link2SD, it have to Mount the ext2 partition and ask for reboot, if isnt the case, just recreate the mount script.
8.- Enjoy your Link2SD in Lollipop 5.1.1 :good:
This works for me, i hope works for you as well
Windows 10 Driver Problems
When having updated to Windows 10 driver problems could happen.
When entering "fastboot devices" in your computer's terminal and nothinh happens it is like this.
You can solve this easily:
1) Plug in your phone in fastboot mode into the computer (Volume Up + Plug-In of the USB-cable)
2) Go to the"Devices manager" (or called simular, as I don't know how to translate it correctly), where you will find the unknown S1 fastboot driver.
3) Download the official Sony flashing tool "EMMA" and reinstall the "Android Studio" in order to get the correct drivers
4) For security download also the "Universal ADB Drivers Package" from chip.de and install it
5) Back in the Device Manager reinstall the correct driver selecting it from the drivers list (!): Sony SA0110 - ADB Interface driver

Well thanks!! Links needed to perform the steps suggested are everywhere in the realm of Internet. Uploading same thing again and again is waste of space,data and everything. Hope you understand.
Ftf can be downloaded through xperi-firm and recovery can be downloaded from nut's Xperia files website. SuperSU is already available in more than 1000 places on Internet. And prf creator is created by a certain developer which is already available on xda. So reposting his item might be considered as kinda theft/plagiarism. And this is already mentioned in this post that it's a sequel of previous post. So please do your own bit of work/home work before posting negative comments.

This post is a sequel of previous post. To perform the steps mentioned you need to be on earlier versions of Android. Like 5.0.2 or earlier. And recovery must be installed in that. If you're on 5.0.2 follow my post about how to root on 5.0.2.
