Hi,
u have to update to 4.2.2 stock firmware before flashing 4.2.2 rom! You can do this by flashing 4.2 Stock Firmware to your device using flash tool. You can find stock firmware here at xda.

Not a chance, wouldn't boot. You need to update to 4.2.2 firmware first.

Is 100% not possible. Both are different version. Merely jump from 4.1 to 4.2 without system apps, related files of 4.2 will get you nowhere. Make sure full wipe before flashing downloaded 4.2 stock rom. Good luck and cheers

Yes you can with a unlocked bootloader, flash a 4.2.2 kernel (dooms) and then flash custom 4.2.2 rom with full wipe this will give you your system files needed and kernel will recognise it and then boot

Where did the OP even mention custom roms? His post says he is on 253 and wants to be on 423.
It's entirely possible to directly update from 253 stock to 423 stock. One of the simplest ways is to use flashtool.

Just grab a 423 ftf from the general section and follow the instructions in the thread.

He said he wants to flash a 4.2 ROM. So thats not possible if not on 4.2 STOCK.
no one had seen tutorial that discuss updating firmware from .253 to .423 ?

If you do indeed just want to update to stock 423, then follow the tutorial I linked you to. Look in the general section for a 423 ftf.
If you're actually talking about a custom rom, then still follow the tutorial, then follow the instructions in the thread for the custom rom you're using.

Then what the other people in the thread said does apply. You should be clearer with what you're asking in future.

So I found this post: http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/04/01/debrand-your-xperia-z-tutorial/ look very nice and I would like to try it out. Then I found this ROM for my own country: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200945
Then I read the thread and saw people saying it would be easy to root it also without having a custom ROM. So i went to the recommenden post for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Now I have one question: Does this unlock your bootloader? I want to be sure it doesnt! And when I update my phone again after I rooted it do I need to root again? (with rooting there doesn't come another rom over it in this case, right?)
Thank you for your time!
BTW I have an Sony Xperia Z C6603 branded by T-Mobile
Flashing stock firmwares or custom rom doesn't change bootloader status.
After updating you have to root again.

Ok, thx. So when I use the root guide I actually flash my rom again? Or how does it work?
Sorry but i didn't understand what you mean?
Rooting guide is to root your phone so you can access system files,it's not like changing roms or flashing.

I'm totally new to the LG world. I know my stuff with my Xperia (i test official PAC)
My girlfriend has the LG and it's totally stock on ics.
1- should it have updated to JB?
2- i read once on JB the bootloader can be unlocked?
3- is there a guide around to take it from stock ics to a rooted, bootloader unlocked with recovery state so I can flash 4.2.2 PAC on her phone?
Thanks for your replies
(i have tried searching but so much comes up for Jellybean i thought its better to just ask)

You haven't tried very hard to search. All the answers are out there, the only hint I will give you is that ICS is v10x and JB is v20x.
But jellybean is official? So how come she hasn't had the update?

You need to LG Offical Update tool to get JB Offical Update you can find it on LG Web Site with instruction how to do it other wise google is your best friend.
There you go http://www.smartphenom.com/2013/03/lg-jelly-bean-4x-l7-l9.html
After that as @SimonTS said read, read, and read. It will help.
I found a V20A kdz file. Is that JB? I can't find 20X anywhere?

As the topic clearly states the question..
Is it any EASY way to deodex stock .67 firmware for Xperia Z? I am currently pretty tired of getting infinite bootloops after trying out a lot of deodex-suitable methods that's here and there all over the internet and everything just ends up in chaos..
Some proper how-to guides that someone wants to share?

Hey guys and girls i've had my Xperia Z C6603 since it came out and I had rooted it since it was realeased to be able to but the other day I went to flash a custom ROM and bricked it. I then used the Sony tool to put the latest OFW on and reset it and then tried many different rooting methods with no luck.
I have the
C6603 on 4.4.2 and the.bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked.
Is it possible to flash a custom ROM and root it? And if so which method will work?
Its on 10.5.A.0.230 build :/
Thanks people.

If you're going to keep posting that, you should also advise people that it requires unlocking the bootloader and therefore invalidates warranty.

Indeed it does require an unlocked bootloader.
In your situation, the only way to gain root is to downgrade to a 4.2.2 firmware, root and flash a prerooted KitKat rom or a custom rom of your preference.

It's the Q&A section. If people knew everything, they wouldn't be asking for assistance here.
Please stop posting incorrect or incomplete information and replying without reading the question properly and I won't need to keep correcting you.

You're correct. There's no way to unlock your bootloader.
Yes, you will need to download a 4.2.2 firmware and flash it using Flashtool. This will probably require that you wipe your data, unfortunately.

Thats perfrctly fine, I had backed up all my data with Helium Premium to Dropbox before I bricked it but now need root to get it all back lol

1. Download a 4.2.2 FTF - Download.
2. Flash it with Flashtool.
3. Install XZDualRecovery using the unrooted method.
4. Install a prerooted KitKat rom, such as this or a custom rom of your choice.
If you need any help with Flashtool, then just ask.

When updating to a new ROM eg, one at 4.4.x do I really need to upgrade up each build version? I looked at the requirements and one requires the next down, and then again and I think I would need to do it like 4 times.
You shouldn't need to, as most custom roms provide everything you need. The zip sometimes contains everything or sometimes you have to use Flashtool to flash a supplied FTF for the kernel and baseband.
If you're unsure, you could ask in the specific thread for the rom.

If you flash a ftf you lose root, recovery, everything. It's like factory resetting.
