So I haven't flashed it and don't know is it trustable, or not. If anyone could test it, that will be great.
Update: How to flash this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
Update 2: I have added some screenshots with software info.
Also from that screens I have noticed few changes (may be some of them were there in previous firmwares also)
1. "Capture screen" function is gone from power-off menu.
2. DualShock 3 support added
3. NFC Icon
4. MyXperia
5. Other changes which mentioned in other threads (like transparent UI elements etc.)

Generic = unbranded. You can flash it to any C6602. Even when flashing branded versions, it will never put a simlock on your phone.
If you use Google Translate on that site, it says 'Not packaged simlock.ta'.

Good news.
I own my Z almost 3 months, but I never rooted it yet. That's crazy for me, before I was thinking, that root will be first thing to do. So I just couldn't find reason for root. I think, that I'll root it, when next version of android will be available (4.3 or 5) as custom rom, because after it's announcement I will not be able to wait for stock rom. Also may be I'll flash CyanogenMod, when it's camera will have stock's functionality.
So. I can't say anything about rooting this particular device yet.

flash it ...... 4.2.2 too smooth ....nice work . thx

We all was in your same situation and I telling you, this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572195 is compatible 100% clean and smooth. Battery Life is amazing. Installed yestaerday and no issues if you do it right, like I did. After unpdate you can also unlock the bootloader, without losing camera, and you are ready for next step, Rooting. To rooting 4.3 at the moment is necessary unlock bootloader. If you follow this steps you will be fine, waiting for the root release for 4.3 but in the same moment you will enjoy your phone updated.

Sorry eclyptos..im confused and newbie for this matter, i'll try this when i get up tommorow morning..better get some rest first.thanks eclyptos!

No, the FTF 4.3 you can flash without be rooted and with Locked Bootloader like me. At the moment there is not relased any app like Vroot to root Android 4.3. Was relased only another FTF already rooted (Have bugs, they still testing) but to flash that Update Rooted you have to Unlock the Bootloader. So that's why I was telling you to Update to 4.3 and later Unlock Bootloader. If you unlock bootloader in 4.2.2 you will lose the camera, but the 4.3 fix that and also you can Unlock later after update and do not lose the camera. At the moment you don't have to do that because any type of rooting 4.3 is in developing so is up to you. It's your choice.

Very good. The most amazing thing is the battery, very well improved. Still stock anyway but smooth and clean, no bloatware and a little bit more free ram. You will be happy. Use Flashtool 0.9.13 and flash. Take off sim and sd before do that.

Do not matter what you have now, you will losing the root anyway. You have to flash in default, just like that. To make a fresh install you have to wipe data, cashe and appslog. Install Flashtool 0.9.13 and put the FTF in flashtool folder "Firmwares". Turn-off you phone, keep pushing, all the time, volume down when you connect the usb, wait to install windows drivers, when windows drivers are done run flashtool, keep pressin volume down, click flash on left side, select the firmware and flash again at the right bottom, keep pushing volume down until the flash green bar at the bottom will not start. Done. The windows of flashtool have to be set up like in the picture.

Dont worry i trust your guide and i dnt mind lossin' my apps...i already finish downloading the ncb firmware i will flash this later..i hope sony will put "move data to sdcard" in settings, in there nxt release of firmware..need to sleeo first mate i'll PM you for my reserved questions..

I felt differences in battery stamina mode in past 4.2.2 updates, i observed to learn about UK unique app: Extended Standby Mode (seems much more
effective in saving battery instead of Eco Mode Controller) I wonder 4.3 still have that in UK firmware ornot. Will test few days.
Found working in SONY SELECT connection (not blank for searching themes too), in other firmware seems abit problem
Oh right another is just extra apps such as File Commandeer, Xperia Diagnostic (For UK Firmware only), Dropbox, Xperia™ Lounge. Cheers

I flashed this rom on my phone..the status bar has 4G instead of LTE. Is this normal with this rom?

mmmh anybody else experiencing bluetooth audio problems on this firmware? it's strange, some kind of a scratching noise, not hearable all the time, but in a song always at the same certain time, like as if i'd be linked to a certain frequency or something (reproducible). just exchanged my mdr-10rbt headphones into new ones and then figured out that it wasn't them . maybe i'll just flash back to 4.2.2 and report.
edit: just flashed back to the german .67 rom and bluetooth audio works perfectly again. HOW IN HELL DOES THAT MAKE SENSE??

Sigh.
Dear God, will the Z1 never have a normal/easy rooting method like it did on 4.2.2 with vRoot? I'm an amateur at best. I don't want to downgrade (which I heard could break the IMEI or something), or unlock my bootloader (which seems like an awful lot of trouble). Someone please tell me it's possible... I've been walking around with a non rooted phone longer than I'd like. My S3 and note 10.1 were a breeze to root. I don't even remember having any trouble rooting them... Why is it so hard to root the Z1!?!?

I think IMEI lose only occurs on Samsung Devices. Off course its possible on most other phones but it's far less unlikely that it will occur on the Xperia Z1.
By the way if you downgraded to 4.2.2 you would temporarily lose cellular use on your phone, you would need to update the baseband to the one that is packed with the latest update. But even that won't ruin your IMEI, just temporarily disable it.

use this ftf to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48555400&postcount=3 to .534. You won't "loose" Your IMEI.
Than root, install recovery and upgrade to .136.

I installed your rom and all is working fine: newest firmware with full root @ CE customization.
Thanks a lot.

thanks mate. I was asking yesteday to Nut to créate this or at least to tell me how to do it.. Could you tell me the process to change from baltic to central europe?. Cheers.

So to check.
If on 4.3 with full root and recovery.
Wipe
Flash rom
Load kernel via flashtool
Profit?
That simple?

Yep.
You can add another step to this. If you have a backup in TWRP.
After flashing via Flashtool reboot to system. After system boot reboot to recovery and flash the data partition backup (_only_). Then wipe Dalvik. You will end up with all Your apps+data

I've used this method: [DIY GUIDE] Create a personalized ROM yourself! by @[NUT]. :good:
Although I did not use his virtual machine since I'm already on Linux.

To tell you the truth: I don't know.
What I would do is:
1. Make TWRP backup.
2. Wipe everything.
3. Flash the zip.
4. Power off.
5. Flash the FTF via Flashtool.
6. Boot into system. After boot reboot to recovery.
7. Restore DATA partition ONLY. Wipe Dalvik.
8. Boot into system.
After that you end up with a clean install with all your apps+data.
HTH.

You should edit the Android version to 4.4.2 rather than 4.1.2 in your description though.

No it is not. You'll have to root again.

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if I can just use Flashtool with this rom to downgrade from 4.4.4?
I am addicted to a game called Star Wars Commander which was working fine until I was upgraded from this rom and now it keeps on crashing! lol
So I think my only solution is to go back to 4.4.2 and hope that solves the problem.
Is it a simple case of flashing this rom again?
Thanks

Yes, you can flash this to downgrade. You may have to wipe data though as sometimes your phone will bootloop if downgrading with no wipe. So my advice is to backup all your data before trying.

Thanks King,
I have managed to downgrade but wasn't as straight forward as I'd have liked, first Flashtool had an error which I think was because I didn't have USB debugging on, I think with that on it installs an extra driver on the pc which then lets it install correctly...
Also after using PC Companion to back up my phone (and getting a 5.5gb file) when I then restored to my newly downgraded phone it only restored my pictures and videos, none of my apps or other data, it did say I had to manually install the apps again first for it to restore the data, and even when I did that it still didn't restore the data! lol
Not sure what the point of the phone back up is now
Also there are only a six themes to choose from, there were loads more on my original UK generic rom, the ones on this rom are pretty rubbish
But the good news is now my Star Wars Commander game is running smooth as silk again! :laugh:

Thanks
