Updated first post.

I thought Generic Nordic is the same as Generic World? There was a discussion a while back that talked about how there isn't such a thing as "generic world" even though it's always referred to as that.

whats differnt in this version pls

I'm sorry, it's not so easy..... you have to root with recovery, and after that load a zip file with cwm. That's how i did it, and the way it works for me.

Can u provide a step by step instruction if you have time to write down?
I have an lt 15i, bootloader unlocked: yes, and now i am on lt15i 4.04 FR version.
What i did is:
flash the phone with a lt15i 4.04 FR edition with 562 kernel inside (it is on this forum)
start the phone with a lot of errors
root the phone with one click root. OK
put the phone to flash again and flash only the 4.04 kernel (ONLY, it is also on this forum)
at the end i started the phone, now i have a 4.04 FR version, rooted and with 431 kernel..but from pieces.
The removal process of FR bloatware it works ONLY with root explorer software.
Now i see there is a generic world firm but no easyroot process.
how to root ??? ( i want to install this generic world from one piece).
Big thank you

If you have bootloader unlocked and want root.
1. Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680793
2. fastboot.exe boot boot.img (This command won't flash the kernel just boot it)
3. Download Superuser from http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and flash it.
4. Rooted
I might aswell upload a prerooted system.img file, anyhow both methods requires bootloader to be unlocked.

9 job man

How is the touch screen response ?
I flashed mine with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 for LT18i and the touch screen was horrible for games (Max Payne, Dead Space, NOVA1,2&3...etc...) in both the cases. (display driver problem i think due to mismatch)
Is it smooth in this version ?

How to switch your phone back to the default factory rom?

Guys i have flashed my arc s with many custom roms and i flashed basebands and kernels and all such stuffs.
I wanted to know now if i want to make my phone back to like it was out of box, should i just flash the firmware via flashtools?
Will everything be same like new? (Baseband, Kernel)
Wifi, 3g etc everything will be normal like before just by flashing a official generic rom (Not to flash baseband or kernel or so?)
Thank you

If your bootloader is locked, you can use Sony Update Service.
If bootloader is unlocked, you cannot use the Update Service, you would only have Flashtool left to flash a stock ROM on your phone.

You can also relock bootloader with Flashtool and then use Sony Update Service to fully restore.

5. Other changes which mentioned in other threads (like transparent UI elements etc.)

Generic = unbranded. You can flash it to any C6602. Even when flashing branded versions, it will never put a simlock on your phone.
If you use Google Translate on that site, it says 'Not packaged simlock.ta'.

Good news.
I own my Z almost 3 months, but I never rooted it yet. That's crazy for me, before I was thinking, that root will be first thing to do. So I just couldn't find reason for root. I think, that I'll root it, when next version of android will be available (4.3 or 5) as custom rom, because after it's announcement I will not be able to wait for stock rom. Also may be I'll flash CyanogenMod, when it's camera will have stock's functionality.
So. I can't say anything about rooting this particular device yet.

flash it ...... 4.2.2 too smooth ....nice work . thx

Sigh.
Dear God, will the Z1 never have a normal/easy rooting method like it did on 4.2.2 with vRoot? I'm an amateur at best. I don't want to downgrade (which I heard could break the IMEI or something), or unlock my bootloader (which seems like an awful lot of trouble). Someone please tell me it's possible... I've been walking around with a non rooted phone longer than I'd like. My S3 and note 10.1 were a breeze to root. I don't even remember having any trouble rooting them... Why is it so hard to root the Z1!?!?

I think IMEI lose only occurs on Samsung Devices. Off course its possible on most other phones but it's far less unlikely that it will occur on the Xperia Z1.
By the way if you downgraded to 4.2.2 you would temporarily lose cellular use on your phone, you would need to update the baseband to the one that is packed with the latest update. But even that won't ruin your IMEI, just temporarily disable it.

use this ftf to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48555400&postcount=3 to .534. You won't "loose" Your IMEI.

Thanks a lot.

thanks mate. I was asking yesteday to Nut to créate this or at least to tell me how to do it.. Could you tell me the process to change from baltic to central europe?. Cheers.

So to check.
If on 4.3 with full root and recovery.
Wipe
Flash rom
Load kernel via flashtool
Profit?
That simple?

Yep.
You can add another step to this. If you have a backup in TWRP.
After flashing via Flashtool reboot to system. After system boot reboot to recovery and flash the data partition backup (_only_). Then wipe Dalvik. You will end up with all Your apps+data

To tell you the truth: I don't know.
What I would do is:
1. Make TWRP backup.
2. Wipe everything.
3. Flash the zip.
4. Power off.
5. Flash the FTF via Flashtool.
6. Boot into system. After boot reboot to recovery.
7. Restore DATA partition ONLY. Wipe Dalvik.
8. Boot into system.
After that you end up with a clean install with all your apps+data.
