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

Biggest thing you should not do is flashing other device's kernel or ROM on your device
You will loose it if you did

You can do that without rooting your device

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.

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...

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

Hey cool down mate!
Stock based ROM doesn't mean fully stock.
Stock based ROM mean a modified and tweaked stock ROM. But those mods and tweaks are effective for the other apps.
And yes I told you to use **ANOTHER** ROM
It's your choice if you used stock based ROM or fully stock ROM like AOSP or PA etc
Not clear enough? See this
You: I'm using a ROM. ifont not working
Me: use another ROM! ANY!!
not clear enough?
Before flashing and other things you may have to try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...aller&pcampaignid=APPU_898bVPqVDsfhywOnnYHoBw

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

Im using xperia z with kitkat 4.4.4 Generic IN rom, The phone gets over heated at times and it leads to battery drain, sometimes the phone works like butter but at times it becomes hot volcano in the pocket :/
Is it my phone's problem or the roms problem?
I want a much more bloatware free version of kitkat 4.4.4. Which one would you prefer ?
Thanks.

If the problem only on this android version so it's software issue, try to flash stock based ROM.
You cannot "remove" a system app without rooting your device.
Rooting your device will not void your warranty, unlocking the bootloader will do. So you can root without unlocking your bootloader.

AOSP ROMs has small number of bloatware. But you need to root and install recovery and unlock your bootloader which will void your warranty.

But still according to you which one is the best?
Unlocking the bootloader won't void warranty. Tinkering with stuff that you have access to once the bl is unlocked and killing your phone, will.

Ask anyone here. They will tell you that unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty.

Ask anyone? OK I'll ask me,
I unlocked my old xperia s, and still had warranty. Sent it in for repair after 18 months, came back with new screen, new housing, bootloader still unlocked.

If you unlock the boot loader, you may void the warranty of your device and/or any warranty from your operator.

We here are talking about a newer device than Xperia S. And I'm saying again ask other members which more experienced than me like @kingvortex or @Rajeev or @androidtweaker1

I did previously believe that it did invalidate your warranty, but found out that it depends where you live/purchased the device. Unlocking the bootloader and/or flashing custom roms does not invalidate your warranty in European Union member states as per EU directive 1999/44/EC.
More info here.
As for other regional consumer laws, I don't know enough about them to comment.

Hello!
Im stuck with that problem half a year now, cause i dont want to do this by my self and freeze(brick) my precious phone. So im summing up my story..
...I rooted my phone last year and backed up the hole thing with Titanium Backup. After half a year i had upgraded it two times(i think), my calling app dissapeared. So i restored it from Titanium Backup succesfully, but after every reboot it was the same storry. After a while Titanium Backup couldnt restore the calling app and stuck while trying. So i was left with a phone that couldnt make any calls ..
Would the simplest way to fix my phone be to just flash a new Stock-Rom?
If so, could i then restore JUST the Data from Titanium Backup to restore my contacts?
Would there be a Problem because its rooted or smthing else?
:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
Thanks!!

I faced similar issue when I were running 4.2.2
Most likely the FTF file/software is corrupted.
To fix it just flash stock ROM FTF with flashtool with full data wipe.

Here is how to flash stock ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-stock-roms-t2240614
Here is the FTF (flash tool firmware) file you need : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-android-4-4-4-t2871851
Notes: don't download any FTF file from the first link. Only download flashtool.
Don't forget to tick the wipe data box in flashtool. You'll know where is it later
Good luck
