If if you are not able to, you can always flash stock ftf file from here:

i was on .569 fw before and i try to update it to the latest fw which is .283 using pc companion. after i try to update it, it says update failed. it is because i rooted and unlocked my bootloader before.
so i relocked my bootloader and flash stock .569.ftf using flashtool. and try to update to .283 using pc companion again. it finally worked. i succesfully upgraded my phone to the latest fw .283.
but then i realised root is gone, and i cant access cwm reovery when phone boots and pressing volume down button over and over again.
so i guess my cwm recovery is gone too.
so since im on fresh stock .283 fw, i need someone to give me a cwm recovery for me to flash on fastboot mode using flashtool.
and can i root .283 just by flashing superuser.zip that i flashed on .269 to root .283?
thanks in advance. i need it urgent though.

You will need to flash .230 kernel then root using any method mentioned ( like towel root) then re-flash the .283 kernel. once you have root, you can flash NUT's recovery for your phone. you can not directly flash. you will need to use computer to run recovery batch file
What is the safest way to come back to STOCK rom on my Xperia Z? Installing update using Sony PC Companion will do it ?
Did you unlock your bootloader? If so Sony's update services wont help you. Did you make a TA backup?
Yes, I have unlocked bootloader , but unfortunately I haven't done TA backup.
As already stated, you cannot use official Sony tools to update etc with an unlocked bootloader.
The best solution is for you to use Flashtool to flash a stock FTF. My guide shows how to download and flash stock firmware: How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format
If you don't want to package your own FTF, you can simply download one from the Xperia Z general section and flash it following the instructions in my guide.

You will have to relock your bootloader to update via any official method. Flashtool can do this using the "BLU" button. Do not do this if you're using a custom kernel or you will soft brick your phone. Do it after flashing stock firmware.
You should then be able to update via PC Companion and OTA.

I just bought a used LT30AT and its on 4.0.4. Ive downloaded Flashtool and 4.1.2 firmware but how do i flash to update and root and recovery? UPDATE: I now have root and 4.1.2 through pc companion but what recovery can i use? i tried cwm it flashed but i dont see recovery. Anyone have a link for recovery and maybe 4.3 firmware and not the LT30p im on AT&T
