What happens when I restore 4.2.2 TA on 4.3/4.4? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just asked out of curiosity so plz don't hurt me. I heard some people only get bootloops but some SAY you will brick your device.
Also let's say I bricked my phone. How much will it cost to repair from official Sony centre. I have insurance but they say for any damages I have to pay £200 in advance ( that's just crazy!)

ICS ROM or Official update?

I don't know if I should root my phone and flash an ICS Rom or should I wait for LG to release the official update?
Is it worth the wait? Or can I do both?
P.s. I'm a noob.

Unlocking booloader

Does anyone know ETA for bootloader issue fix?
Is it a problem if I use open source Rom?

The way I read it, currently unlocking bootloader force closes camera. Is camera force close still there if I use custom Rom I.e. I won't be using Sony camera app but I think camera firmware will still be Sony.

[Q] FXP CM11 vs Official CM11

Hey guys, I'm looking forward to install Official CyanogenMod 11 but I've seen here in XDA a ROM called FreeXperia Project, that is a Unofficial build of CM11.
I would like to know what's the differences between these two.
Thanks! :silly:
Most people say they are both nearly the same, but from my experience the official runs more stable.
So I guess i'll install the official one, thanks man!
Where i can find the link to official rom? :3
