You will need to have unlocked bootloader first before flashing any CM roms or 4.4.2 roms
To back to original firmware just flash the pre-rooted 4.3 ROM over here
There's many kind.
I prefer you to wait for official 4.4 update as will be available next month

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

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 was wondering what would happen if I pull the boot.img from fully working with camera PAC 4.3 rom and replace the PA 3.99 ROM boot.img will the ROM work with functioning camera or will I get a bootloop or destroy my device?
If that doesn't work will using PAC ROM 4.3 as base work for a port?

If kernel is designed for same Android - 4.3 - it'll work.
It won't break anything as long as you have unlocked bootloader and you aren't flashing 4.3 kernel on 4.2 ROM.

Hi there
i just bought my xperia z and updated to latest 4.4.2 version but its a bit laggy and performance is poor
i just wonders if previews android version are better or not ? for example how about 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 ?
i don't care about update .... i just want something that runs smooth on my phone ( i was nexus 4 owner)
so if u had any experience with older versions on xperia z please help me
thanks
4.3 been best so far, but I'm pretty sure bug fixes will come out for 4.4 too
Use Existenz 7.0... Best ROM on version 4.3.. Very smooth and stable. One of the best Roms I ever used. .

Hello,
It's about this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-ultimate-purexz-v1-t2759467?nocache=1
is it possible to flash this rom via flashtool only or do i need recovery to flash this rom. Now i'm on 4.4.2 .230 stock without root an cwm/twrp. Last time i manually updatet my xperia to the newest rom, which was the 4.4.2, i just flashed the stock rom over the existing rom. After that i did a factory reset.
Thanks a lot for help
