How can i install roms to XZ without pc? And wich rom is the best for my phone?

As far as I'm aware you need a PC in order to root, and you need root to install ROMs so no it's not possible.
There is no such thing as a best ROM. This is because we all have different wants and needs as far as ROMs/kernels are involved. Have a look at the development threads and see which ROM suits you best. 'Best ROM' threads usually start arguments, so therefore they're not allowed and are usually deleted by mods

If you are already rooted running 4.3 stock (which you have needed to flash using pc) then you may only flash stock ROMs without the pc. I went from ExistenceZ ROM to Criskelo ROM just by flashing in Nut Recovery. You must check with the rom author tho.
But yes no such thing as best rom man!

Hello, im a Sony user and I just switched to htc. I want to know what are the custom kernels available and how to flash them. The method I used for Sony won't work here I guess.

I suggest you have a read around general and development sticky threads.
Was wondering if there were any easy to install tweaks for the xperia T jellybean os, that I can flash with cwm
That would allow me to customize many appearence features on statusbar, and threw out the phone? Would need something that will work on a locked bootloader! Maybe even recomendations on a feature packed custom ROM that uses a stock kernal? Thanks.

No
There are no tweak packs, there is a slight custom ROM, stock based so works on locked bootloaders, XperimenT, its in the android development section, its ICS based, a JB version is being worked on
Thanks! Im using Xperiment beta 2. I love how fast the phone runs, and how good my battery is! I just dont see anything different other than the boot screen . Maybe because its a beta?

Yeah it's because it's a beta and the dev wants to get it stable before he adds customizations, also they don't work from ICS so new ways are needed to get it working. Patience

Fair enough! I might flash the xperimenT ics stable then, quick question tho.. Can I not keep the jb xperimenT backup on my phone, and then swap roms as needed via cwm restore? Would be fairly cool. On the same note, minus the odd crash here and there, the experimenT jb beta is just incredible performance wise.

You may have issues as to swap versions, JB and ICS, a lot of the time you need format sd card, you'll also need to make sure the correct kernel is in place and that you flash the correct cwm+reboot fix, so it is a pain bit doable

Hi.
I have got my so rooted and unlocked and have wanted to put a custom ROM on.
But every single one says just support for 2.254 firmware not my 2.245 firmware.
Will it still work or would it brick

It not safe to cross flash it will probably bootloop..i would suggest u to flash 2.254..and get it rooted and custom recovery installed.
Happy flashing

Is that possible as 2.245 is my only available software to update too
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
2.245
Dear Freind
Roms like pureness 1 and Honamiutreized are strictly firmware specific that is why, i think those developers specifically state do not flash this over other firmware variants that will cause problems and this is because those developers have heavily modded the latest firmware to add more tweaks to give advanced user experience hence that ROM may not be compatible on older firmwares.
But probably you can find Custom Roms (Like Cleaned and Tweaked Rom, JBXSP Rom, Project AOSP Rom) based on 2.245, just go to respective threads and check, you will find that the most of the ROMs' version 2 or 3 should be based on 2.245 firmware.
Try and enjoy customs roms. :laugh:
No if you check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964 you can find many FTF for 2.254 which can be flashed using Flashtool and have latest firmware and flash latest ROMs based on 2.254 without any problem.

Hey buddy,
Don't cross flash .254 FW over .245 FW.
Just use flashtool to flash the .254 FW. It is easy, and there are many guides to do it. Once you know how to use flashtool, your phone also automatically becomes unbrickable as you know how to flash back the stock FW even if you somehow softbricked your phone.
Also, don't post questions in the development section. This is for ROMs and Kernels and stuff, there's no place for questions here. Go to the Q&A section instead next time.
Happy flashing (ROMs and kernels, not anything else )

I've been searching around, but can't seem to find a straight answer on all ROM's. Which ROM's are usable with a locked boot loader? Thanks in advance.
Edit - Done some more reading... Can I do anything with a locked boot-loader really? Or am I forever limited to 4.1.2 based ROMs?
Take a proper look in the Android development forum dude!
There are loads of ROMs you can flash on a locked bootloader. Generally the ROM will say LB/UB and must be a modified stock ROM.
The only ROMs you can't flash are cyanogenmod/Aokp /aosp based ROMs.
Or upgrade to 4.2.2. with a stock tft via flash tool.

Thanks so much, sorry im new to sony bootloaders. So if I upgrade to 4.2.2 I can flash cyanogenmod/aosp Roms? I really want to use parandroid... Or is that impossible as of currently? Also, will the boot loader eventually get unlocked? I'll probably end up returning this phone if its not possible for a long time. Again thanks.

Do not flash paranoid on your phone with a locked bootloader , you will brick your phone.

Alright I see. Thanks. Hopefully there will be an unofficial bootloader unlock for this phone eventually.
I'm about to root my Xperia Z and then flash a custom ROM probably PAC but I want to be able to overclock. Any ideas how? Also if you have any tips or tricks with rooting or flashing custom Roms. All appreciated thank you

Hi first off, if u want to flash custom rom or kernel, u have to unlock your bootloader.
After that you can install custom recovery and flash the rom/kernel of your choice.
Or u could go the fastest way by
-Unlock your bootloader
-downloading the rom (pac) and the kernel (e.g. meow kernel) to your SD card
-Via pc in cmd command fastboot flash boot boot.I'm
-power off
-Boot in recovery when led is on(volume up)
-Flash pac rom and gapps if u need them, if u want custom kernel, flash meow after that.
Hit thanks if I helped ya
Regards
