When downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2, you need to wipe all data or it won't work. Why do you need the 'Generic US' firmware anyway? Does it contain any special features which you need and which are not available in 'Generic TW'? It's the worst customization when it comes to updates..
it doesn't have any special features, i don't knowt what in Generic TW firmware have. I just worry that if i flash other region firmware i won't get update over the air later. and i think the original firmware is good for me.

Today, Generic US has been updated to 10.3.A.0.423. You don't need an FTF to flash this firmware. Just follow this guide to change your customization number to 1271-0119 and install the update with Sony PC Companion: [GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool

LTE firmware is for C6603. The C6602 contains different hardware and has no LTE support. If you flash firmware for the wrong device, you might get connectivity problems and you will no longer receive any software updates from Sony (because they check the first 8 digits of your IMEI number, which is different for C6602 and C6603).
I just updated to 10.3.A.0.423 last night using a FTF I made from PC Companion. Posted here in case anyone needs it

Just noticed that using C6603 firmware for my C6602 phone wasn't a very good idea.... Sony PC Companion doesn't allow me to update it.
After I reflash the C6602 version of firmware, will I be able to automatically update my phone using Sony PC Companion? My phone is a C6602 bought in China but the Chinese firmware has been flashed out of the device.
same issue i have a C6602 with C6603 rom on it

Were you able to get the phone back to stock? Also is there not a way of flashing the ROM without using the PC and ftf.
I prefer flashing from the phone on CWM because I'm lazy, Is that not an option for installing a stock rom for this phone?

If you find a flashable zip with stock rom, you can flash stock.
But if you have your booloader locked, chances are you lose your root, recovery and go back to barbone kernel.

thanks for the info. Im not 100% knowing if the bootloader is locked or not. I just assumed its unlocked because the phonr is rooted and i'm running AOKP on it. i guess the main reson i want ti know is because i know its not the correct rom for this phone. it works fine but it should be the one that should be for the phone. not c6603 when the phone is a c6602. would you happen to know the link for a cwm flashable rom version of c6602?

Hello XDA
I recently flashed the Australian 4.2.2 onto my Xperia Z (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280329) however I notice it is displaying "4.1.2" on my phone details instead of "4.2.2". Is it because the ROM I downloaded was 4.1.2? It also says that my firmware is up to date, yet displays 4.1.2.

I'm sorry, I don't actually know what the widgets screen actually looks like. Can you post a picture please?
I'm starting to feel that my version is in fact 4.1.2 after looking around for a while because it is .253, do Sony or other companies who make Android phones release firmware updates for Generic Unbranded firmware later than for phones with built in firmware from Vodafone etc?
if your firmware is .253 then you are definitely on 4.1.2.
The xda thread you linked to is also the same. So far only Optus has released 4.2.2 (which is .423)
You need to flash the FTF using the latest flashtool. Its v9.11 i believe.

connect your device to your computer and try using Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service. I have no clue will it work, but it should. If not then flash one of the FTF files above.

I recently received Xperia Z Android 4.4.4(10.5.1.A.0.283) update.
previously I had 4.4.2(10.5.1.A.0.230) rooted using #towelroot.
My question is, Do I need to root my phone after 4.4.4(10.5.1.A.0.283) update ???
If so, Can I still use #towelroot for root it again ?

CVE-2014-3153 (towelroot exploit) is patched in Sony kernel source and doesn't work any more.
To root, you need to flash a 230 kernel with Flashtool, root then flash back the 283 kernel.

Guys! Try this (read it some where)
1. Flash 4.4.4 tft
2. install supersu, and towelroot then
3. flash only 4.4.2 kernel (don't tick anything in wipe, in exclude list tick everything except kernel).
4.It will boot, then root with towelroot, give it a reboot.
5. u're rooted.
6. Now flash only 4.4.4 kernel back

Yes read before posting.
I and someone else already posted what you have to do.
1. Flash 230 kernel only with Flashtool.
2. Root with towelroot or Easy Root.
3. Flash back kernel from 283 with Flashtool.
Done.

That is for unlocked bootloader @Spock0785
Some cant unlock it so they need to know howto for locked bl
And its also easier of some can post only the .230 kernel to root and also put the kernel of 4.4.4 to flash it back to keep root.

Hi,
Today I have upgraded my "towelrooted" Xperia Z (C6603) from 10.5.1.A.0.230 to 10.5.1.A.0.283 and guess what? To my surprise, the root remained in place in my phone after this upgrade. This is contrary to all my previous experiences with upgrading firmwares in this phone. How did I do that? Nothing special. I have downloaded (OTA) the 10.5.1.A.0.283 firmware and then I let my phone upgrade itself. That's it.
I don't know if this is a region-specific anomaly but I have an unbranded phone purchased in Germany. I checked the details of this newest firmware in my phone and it is a German generic OTA version, exactly this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-5-1-0-283-t2876005 , so it's not some special build or something like that.
Until now, all firmware upgrades used to wipe out every single root I had but this upgrade didn't, luckily. Anyone here with the same experience?
Updating via OTA usually doesn't remove root as long as the OTA doesn't fail.
This is because an OTA doesn't format /system, rather it just replaces the necessary files.

Can I use latest version of flashtool or do I have to take flashtool-version 0.9.13?
(because in the flashtool-thread it says: "WARNING : Since Xperia Z, sony added a new set of files I called bootbundle. Those files can be bundled from 0.9.13 and can be flashed from 0.9.13 only. To all those flashing devices from Z edition to all after Z, it is highly advised to use 0.9.13 and to be sure FTF you flash contain the bootbundle set. I've been reported of hard bricks because of missing such set of files from bundles.)

I got the files for Customized UK from XperiFirm from within Flashtool which I flashed using newflasher and then I was able to install the Developer Preview. Turns out that XperiFirm has the Android P Developer Preview files ready to download for most Customized firmwares so I could of saved myself a lot off hassle.
