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...

I didn't use all ROMs but some of them will do maybe
BUT as a first time Android user. You should VERY take care about flashing stuff. And I repeat. VERY VERY TAKE CARE ABOUT THAT AND DO NOT DO SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW OR....

: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

Xperia Z C6603 update

just got myself an Xperia Z C6603 whats the deal with these http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-android-4-4-4-t2871851 compared to stock update

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

Yap, it works with 64 GB microSD (SanDisk Extreme microSDXC 64 GB in my case). I didn't try it with 128 GB but it should work with that size too (I don't have that much money to just test it, 64 GB is enough for me). :good:

Xperia Z_System-app Problems

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
