Hi
Download any Ftf version (434 version at least), then flash it by using flashmode tool.
There is a very good tuto in xda (sorry i do not write from my computer and do not know/succeed to add the appropriate link from phone).
Nevertheless you have to:
1 install phone drivers to your computer
2 downmload and install flashtool
3 download ftf file from Android original or Android dev threads
4 follow How to use flashtool guide available in the Xperia Z section.
Do not worry it is not so hard :screwy:
As proposed, I have :
1- Installed the Sony PC Companion 2.10.155
2- Installed the Flashtool-0.9.10.2beta6 --> Thanks to Androxide for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2162907
3- Followed the Tuto of 'Flashing Stock Rom with FlashTool --> Thanks to Shadowboy23 for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2240614
3- Used the UK Unbranded FTF --> Thanks to Paulkhim for that

From what you said, you got boot loop.
Just use flash tool to flash the stock Rom again.

Not released yet in almost all country's. Only Spain has released it till now. Why not just install the Spanish version? It still supports the German language

Edit: you are right @kingvortex, should have checked my facts better.
So according to that thread it is already available for Vodafone Germany. Try using pcc to download and use flashtool to convert it to ftf yourself.
Here is a guide to do that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075736
It works the same for xz, although that forum is for different Xperia's
It's not true at all that only Spain has the 67 update.

That's not entirely true, you CAN download the firmware, just not install it via pcc. I create my own ftf's always that way.
And I'm unlocked too

I don't know how you guys do it...I tried sues: says "you modified your device" and wont download anything...I found a sony software called emma: it needs a developer login, so I registered yesterday but I still wait for sonys email (checked spam)...
All the guides I found even write "required: locked bootloader" in the first lines...
how the heck can you guys download it?!

The Emma program does not need special access, just a file which states you are a unlocked bootloader user (a .ini file)
Download the Flash tool for Xperia devices.
Unzip the file you downloaded and place it somewhere on your computer.
In the unzipped folder, run Emma.exe. During the installation, make sure you remember the installation path:
Default path in Windows 64 bit is: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Emma\”
Default path in Windows 32 bit is: “C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Emma\”
Copy the Customization.ini file. You find it in the Flash_tool_for_Xperia_X.zip.
Paste the Customization.ini file into the installation folder. The installation folder is the folder named Emma in the installation path examples on point 3.1 and 3.2 above.
Click Start > All programs > Sony Mobile > Emma (if you used the default installation path from step 3 above) to start the flash tool

Anyways, I always use 'Sony pc companion' for downloading, since this first downloads the data, and after downloading requires you to reboot (wich i don't even bother to do since i'm not using PCC for flashing ), this way they can't check you have 'altered' software.

Edit:
In SUS you should choose repair instead of update, or else it won't work
edit 2:
THIS tutorial was the first tutorial i followed when i started learning to make my own ftf's.
it also states you DON'T need locked bootloader.

Root Xperia T on JB 4.3 with locked booloader

Hello friends, i have a Xperia TL with a locked bootloader, i want to flash stock firmware Android 4.3 to my device via flashtool.
But how can i root my decive before i flash this rom. I have a locked bootloader and it says "allowed= NO".
I need to root because i want to restore my apps and data.
Why don't read "Xperia T, TL, TX, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" first thread?

If you flash it with flashtool it's easy... Just disselect data wipe and then you don't need to restore your data or apps.

No, if you flash FW via flashtool, the root is lost.
I think you should :
1. Back up ur app by titanium backup.
2. Download 4.1.2 stock FW LT30at from HERE
3. Download newest 4.3 Unbrand and flash it via flash tool (u must choose exclude baseband)
4. Root it by my tool
5. Restore app
If root fail at 4.3, u can flash 4.1.2 stock then root and restore app. Good luck
Thank you again.. If root doesn't work.. Is there another method to root? I wanna stay on 4.3.

Nice try.
It installs a bunch of Chinese bloatware, language can't be changed and root CAN'T be obtained.
As much as I could understand it's a tool for MTK hardware and uses restore for root, and it doesn't work.

:silly:
dear a_new_day, i was wondering if you would have a 'tool' for Xperia V (LT25i). I was searching the forums for a version that would work on my newly installed FM 9.2.A.1.199, JB 4.3. Your thread came up and I was hopeful but I read through it and it's for Xperia T :crying:
as of present I haven't yet found a working one for the new FM. I hope that DoomLord will soon come to the rescue...
thanks for whatever help/thread/link you can give. it's my only way to tweak the phone so as to increase the LIMIT number on SMS sent.

[REQ] Need some files and other

Hi there, I need to downgrade from 4.3 (10.4.1.B.0.101) to any Europe 4.2.2 with recovery + rooted stock firmware, becouse I want to flash this firmware : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-rooted-deodexed-zipaligned-stock-0-t2759467
I have locked bootloader and no recovery and root on my 4.3, that's the main problem why I need to downgrade to 4.2 as well I have locked BL and I don't want to unlock it.
Thanks in advice.
(have searched before posting this thread, so don't suggest me to use search, 'cause I've found only useless things. I need EUROPE, not with china language and for unlocked bl..)
To downgrade, you will need to flash an FTF. You will not find an FTF that is prerooted/has a custom recovery. FTF files are unmodified stock firmware only.
You will need to flash a stock FTF with Flashtool, root and flash the dual recovery yourself (or use the unrooted install method for XZDualRecovery).
Search in the general section for a 4.2.2 FTF. There are many available. The region does not matter if you're going to immediately flash a different rom anyway.

Please point out where I said you needed CWM to flash an FTF. You use Flashtool.
1. Download a 4.2.2 FTF - Here
2. Flash with Flashtool - Download
3. Install XZDualRecovery using the unrooted method.
4. Flash the rom mentioned in your original post.
All this information is readily available in the forums, so a quick search should help if you're having further problems.
