Please make a clean installation of 4.4.4 or do a factory reset and you will solve your problems. For rooting you can use kingvortex method on general section. For custom roms use search box or google it, you can try several roms and than decide what is the best for you. Cheers.

Lol no problem
Btw.. The heating problem is pretty normal thing for this device. Try to use CPU temp apps in play store. If the CPU temp above 70°C so it's not normal...

:laugh:
I'm not scaring you! Just warning you
The most 2 think you should never ever try or think about them is: flashing other device's kernel. Like flashing other Xperia or Samsung kernel on your device
And the same thing with the ROMs
Those things can hard brick your device. And you will never get it back... So don't try them!
The wrong mods of other devices or ROMs can soft brick your device. This can easily fixed but you will loose your data...
And good thing! You can use any C6602 mods kernels ROMs on C6603 and vice versa
And here is a link for KitKat FTF http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-android-4-4-4-t2871851

Sound problem on CyanogenMod 11

Hey,
I had already posted a topic but the problem is came back !
I explain the problem : when i'm listening music, there are sometimes a "sound crackling". I tried the "Lightning Kernel" but with the last update of CyanogenMod, this kernel produce display problems and the wifi does not work.
So i searched other solutions : i installed "FreeXperia CyanogenMod UNOFFICIAL 337" but the problem is still present
Have you a solution please ? CyanogenMod is a fantastic ROM, and i wouldn't want to uninstall this because of a sound problem.
Thank you !
And sorry if my english is approximately, it is not my official language

I have a similar problem that the sound do a BUZZING sound for 100 milliseconds and not helped by flashing kernels...
So I say this is a ROM bug. Same as me

Hey man. That's really worked
Didn't expected this solution
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!

the only solution that worked for me is set minimal cpu freq from to 486, in the infected cyanogemod build no increase much your battery consumption

I can say that this sound problem (bzz) is not a cyanogenmod ROM issue. I already had this bug with official Sony ROM for C6603 with both KitKat 4.4 and Lollipop 5.0 when using Napster
So I think to increase CPU minimum at boot is only a way to reduce the problem.
I try this solution on Cyanogenmod 11, this bzz reduced in number but still stay.
I remember a old phone I had in the past where audio had a special treatment. I notice that on a old Nokia I bought, a DSP are inclued and audio signal was always treated by this DSP and never by the CPU ; Result, 0 bug with audio application. I supose that there is probabely something that CM and Napster on official Sony ROM do not in the correct way in this Xperia Z (dedicated audio hardware ?).

So, the thing is if you installed some other ROM but you did not liked it and want to revert back to your original ROM you can always restore your ROM only if you had backed up your ROM. Incase if your backed up ROM doesnot restore or you don't have a backup than you use flashtool to install the original version of your ROM. But there is one thing, your guarantee is already broken if you used flashtool or even if you install the other ROM and you don't have the original ROM that came up with your mobile.
Those files are just the original firmwares that developers have downloaded with PC companion and made the ftf file with Flashtool, so that it will be easy to install using flashtool.
So, if your mobile has the original ROM and you have not done anything then always update via your PC Companion or from Settings>>About Phone>>Software update.
For other people they cannot update from that method because they are not allowed due to many reasons and they need those ftf files from the link that you stated.

ok great thanks for your reply...I'm waiting for the phone to arrive (maybe tomorrow) would like to root straight away
whats the best way to go about this ...Unlock the boot loader and then use one of the rooting methods? probably stay with a stock rom to start just to get the hang of the phone .
Been flashing roms on my other phones for ages Galaxy S2 and S3 i9305

[Q] What is the best custom rom you've tried so far?

I was using existenz 7 and i was pretty satisfied with the overall perfomance, it's certainly a great rom, but i soft-bricked my c6602 so i had to flash a stock firmware.
Now i'm running on official 4.2.2 and intending to flash a custom rom instead but this time i want to try something else than existenz,
So what is the best rom -no matter android version- you've tried on sony xperia z in terms of stability, performance, battery life?

Does it have a good battery life? i was going to download extistenz ultimate but when i knew that it's based on stock 4.4.2 (which i had serious battery draining &overheating issues with) i decided to go with exsitenz 7 because it's based on 4.3 and i had no battery issues with stock 4.3 before.
How is battery life with it compared to normal existenz?

Yes that's true. Many answered questions are asked again AND again. People are so lazy to just Google for there answer. At least they should just search for the answer.. It's isn't hard!
the forum should have a first time opening dialogue for who access this forum for the first time. Just a useful idea to teach people what should do and what's not.

I'm looking at the PM right now. I reported this thread and he replied that the policy had changed so the thread was allowed. I messaged him after to clarify and he said it had just changed the previous day. He also said all mentions of best rom threads not being allowed were going to be removed from the site.
I'm not going to say which moderator it was, but he was pretty clear on it. Perhaps your friend should check with someone higher up the chain?

There is no such thing as the best ROM. Every person in the world has different expectations, therefore this thread is totally useless.

[Q] phone stuck at boot. (not bootloop)

I unlocked my bootloader, installed CWM recovery and all that good stuff... I transfered the VANIR-rom over to my SD-card and inserted it into my phone, flashed it, and the phone never leaves the bootscreen.... The bootanimation never stops, it just keeps going... I've tried different Roms but they all do the same. I've tried wiping the cache, flashing boot image via ADB and nothing works... So now I have no phone, please help

Thanks for the answer bud! but I've tried these ROM's allready;
PACROM
VANIR
Dirty Unicorns
Do you think theres a fault with all of those or am I doing something really wrong?

Well I think you are doing something wrong
I'm on Dirty Unicorns now and it's fine. Try this for Dirty Unicorns:
Flash stock ROM FTF
Unlock bootloader (no need if it's already)
Root
Install recovery
Move the ROM to the internal SD
Boot to TWRP recovery (not CWM)
Wipe dalvik and cache
Wipe system
Wipe data
Install the ROM and GAPPS
For others do the same steps BUT flash the kernel via fastboot first (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Flash the kernel only if this step mentioned in the OP
