Here in this thread is the NL ftf file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200945
It`s not so hard to find.
Flash with flashtool.
If you have done, please tell me if you have the same nfc update issue as I have.

Yes you can just flash with flashtool to downgrade and if you dont wipe anything,
your phone will be as before just with .434.
But for me the downgrade ended in a NFC update problem that causes the phone to reboot the whole time!
Therefore I am stuck at .253 without root!

To find things requires you to actually search, if you're too lazy to do that then read the stickys where you'll usually find them, but if you're too lazy to even do that, wait for a spoon feeder to come along and help, as they have done.

No. .434 didn't work at all for me, because you can't do anything because of the reboots at startup.
Therefore I flashed . 253 again but without root, because it's unable at the moment.

It's working fine, I've flashed about 4 or 5 different 434 ftfs over the weekend with no issues, you can find the ones I tried in - Xperia Z Resource Thread -|- Firmware - Guides - Mods {Update - 253 FTFs}

None, I thought the biggest issue was the icon not showing which I'm not fussed about. Did you do a clean install or save your data?

Apollo89 said:
If you cross flash your phone (e.g. flashing C6603 firmware to a C6606 phone), it is no longer possible to update or restore your firmware through any of the official ways (Sony PC Companion / Sony Update Service / Sony Bridge for Mac / OTA), because your TAC (Type Approval Code = first 8 digits of IMEI) doesn't match anymore. C6603 TAC is 35576205 and C6606 TAC is 35676805.

What? U can flash ftf C6603 to a C6606 that is no problem. U need flashtool then u also can root it doomlord easy root and u can even install a dual recovery even with locked bootloader. U just can't flash some costum roms CM based ones with an looked bootloader. Other then that it really doesn't matter. Just make sure the rom says looked bootloader when flashing.

Yes. Agreed but what if OP thinks differently? i think we shd inform OP about TAC consequences if flashing fff of another model number of same Xperia Z. Just as apollo said. Let OP decide whether wanna do that or not. But this abit warning needed to be given in formal. Cheers.

Yeah well yeah he shouldn't flash a C6602 rom because then he loses the option to select lte.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
The first thing to say would have been that the bootloader on a C6606 cannot be unlocked anyway.
You should also have advised the OP to exclude the baseband during flashing of a C6603 ftf to a C6606 as flashing the baseband would apparently cause loss of LTE.
Edit : Apparently, it is safe to flash other basebands. Just going off what other people that actually have the phone were saying initially. I stand corrected on that one.
Or just link to one of the threads where this has already been discussed, like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372664 instead of going over the same ground again.

Can't install xposed on rooted .757

II can't install the xposed framework on my device. It fails to install anything. I tried installing it through TWRP recovery, but only the .jar got installed, the app_process won't install no matter what I do. PLease help. everything is stock rom. Rooted, LOCKED bootloader.
ADDITIONAL,
I also cannot create a backup for my rom in TWRP.. It fails when backing up system. but I checked the TWRP folder, it has files in it even the system. So is it really backed up and the message that says "FAILURE" is only a bug?

If you reffering to Update via PC Companion or OTA then, Right, you cannot do that, is not recommended as you will lose Root. ...but you can update to .761 Pre-Rooted by NUT, like you already did, same way, download files from HERE.
