Root Stuck at "daemon started successfully" while rooting

Hey guys!! Trying to root my Sony Xperia Z C6603 running Android 4.4.4 with Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64bit build 9600
The drivers are installed Including flashtool drivers and Sony USB Adb Interface driver. Debugging mode is ON and Unknown sources is checked. Everything is working fine except that root cmd which stuck on "daemon started successfully". Please Help trying to root since a week now but still not successful. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank You :)
 
As I know there isn't a way to root that firmware (V10.5.1xx) direct. You have to flash a vulnerable kernel (V10.5A0.230 or before, only kernel) via Androxyde's FlashTool (wireless lan won't work for that kernel but will do after completion) , do the rooting magic with known methods and flash the actual kernel back. Actual firmware & kernel are able to download directly in FlashTool, the older kernel should be ready to find in web.
