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.
Just follow the instructions in the thread I linked to update to 4.2.2, then follow the installation process in the rom thread.

Hi,
I am thinking of flashing the 4.4 upgrade to my z1 to see if the Bluetooth issues that I had on 4.3 will be resolved. My question is -
If I upgrade to 4.4 and I am still having Bluetooth issues, will I have any problems downgrading back to 4.4.2?
Any help will be appreciated!
P.S. I don't need to have root access!
Yes because you cannot downgrade from 4.4 to 4.4.2, they are the same
If you mean downgrading to 4.2 or 4.3, it should be fine (AFAIK)
Remember there was the loss of IMEI going from 4.3 to 4.2, so I suggest only downgrading to 4.3

Hi gregbradley
Thank you for your reply,,,
Sorry I meant downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2...
I have tried the upgrade to both .290 and .136 (4.3) and back again to .257 (4.2.2) and did not suffer any IMEI loss.. Does this mean that I was just lucky or?

Alan

You should be able to downgrade so give it a go and see

That's your choice. Vodafone UK will come with some bloat, but you can remove that with root.

just follow the steps in the link below. you cant root the current rom.
you have to flash an old version of rom and root it and then install pre-rooted latest rom.
