[Q] Xperia ZR (Rooting and Boot screen) for noobs? topic

Hi guys. I have recently signed up here and am currently a XDA and Android noob. But i do have some experience of rooting. (I often watch one of my relative root and do stuff with odin but only for Samsung). I currently own a SONY Xperia ZR C5502. It has android 4.4.4 KitKat.
And i have no idea how to root it or load it's boot screen. I'm trying to install CyanogenMod or an android lollipop ROM to it.
If anyone is kind enough to give me some advice or help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Ahmed
