The OP says he got it through Sony PC Companion, so that means he already has the necessary files on his hard disk to create an FTF.
See part C and D of this guide to create and share an FTF: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311211

This is what I've been waiting for a long time..But since bell was on 4.1 before this update, I went ahead and loaded the unbranded 4.3 uk rom from xda. Now my PCC says my phone is up to date. How do i get the bell rom now? do i have to load the original 4.1.2 bell rom from here first and then try PCC for 4.3 update? will that brick my phone ..(going back to 4.1)

You'll have to flash back to 4.1.2 bell (wipe your data) then I believe you can upgrade to 4.3. Unless he can provide an FTF to us, that is

Download the flashtool application which is listed in the original post.
Install the application, then run C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe, you need to then select Xperia Z, Flashmode Drivers & Fastboot Drivers, see attached.
Then follow the instructions on how to use Flashtool, this can be found on the page link if you go to the developers website.
There is information on the Sony Website also http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/

Who's your operator? Or are you unbranded? It's available on the UK sony website, but whenever I try to update on my unbranded Z, it says I'm on the latest software. I might just flash this rom as I'm probably going to root in the next couple of weeks so will fix the NFC problem then anyway.

No, you don't have to do that at all! Just use the Flastool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907 and place the ROM in the firmware folder and follow the prompts. It's that easy. I have done with mine.

Flashed using the latest flashtool, lost my camera. Just a black screen. Other apps declare they cannot connect to camera... trying to figure out what went wrong. Hopefully it didn't brake my TA.
Edit: I am sure I flashed danw_oz's TA onto my device. I have no TA backup. I think I am ****ed.

No, your TA will be fine. When I upgraded it force closed the camera twice then after it was fine.
I am having another look at this file, because the FTF creation has changed slightly from the Xperia Z.
It shows an update on Sony Companion but not OTA. I am waiting for OTA coz I don't want to lose my root.

This is my first ever FTF flash on the Z1. It was a telstra branded phone.
I will note that I un-ticked 'data' under the flashtool wipe options on my initial flash of your FTF. I preferred to keep my settings intact, but that wasn't a deal breaker.
No matter what I did (re-flashing, rebooting, changing apps, etc), camera was broken for a couple of hours... I was getting a bit panicky.
I decided to let PC Companion to fix it by clicking 'your device is up to date' and in the pop-up selecting 'repair my phone'. It picked up as a generic 4.3 device, re-downloaded the 14.2 firmware and installed it. Part of that process is a factory wipe. Camera works now and I have firmware from Sony server. It is possible a full wipe would have achieved the same result, but I was looking for the most reliable, first try, answer.
Thanks for the FTF, though. I now have an unbranded 4.3 Z1.
flash rom
I have a Telstra branded Z1, so if I flash generic stock Australian rom and change the software id to match will I still receive OTA updates like it was from the factory. Phone details are : model number: c6903 build number 14.1.g.2.259 software id : 1277-2878 r3a . thanks in advance
When I flash UK-Vodafone firmware SuperiorAuto can capture 20MP but in Europe firmware can 8.3MP in SuperiorAuto mod,why is there difference?

I am not sure because I am always too impatient to wait to see if an OTA arrives there is no reason why not, you just receive carrier specific updates

mmm I think I may give it another 2 weeks and see if our slack network provider pushes the update. They're generally about 3 weeks behind the world. If nothing, then I may just give this a crack.
The question is, can I hold out for 2 weeks??
I see some FTF's have 20mp auto with the camera. Is this 20 or the normal 8mp?

It's not worth waiting , this update makes your phone really fly, and better battery, camera is slightly better, I don't seem to have 20MP, but am sure it will be ported to work soon

I purchased a Telstra branded Z1 C6903. I can confirm after installing generic stock Australian firmware that PC companion recognises my phone as a generic C6903. I would presume that OTA will be the same. If not, I know I can always get future official updates through PC companion anyway.

Thanks Gav, O2 just squeaked it into 2013. Still not seeing this as an OTA or on PC companion, maybe due to that fact that I flashed the vodafone one yesterday when I got fed up of waiting. Will flash this immediately and lets hope the 4.4 update comes before 2015.
Happy New Year
:highfive:
Anyone switched from the EE 4.3 ROM to this? Anything different?
This one is 825.8MB vs 889.7MB of the EE version.
I recommend to do a full factory reset after installing to avoid issues.

Ditto here. I have a SIM-free UK phone bought from an independent retailer and never received the second 4.3 either (in any form). Do you think your network operator affects the OTA update if you bough SIM-free from an non-network-operator? (I'm on O2-UK network). Was your brother also on Giffgaff like you?
As for your 4.4, did you receive an OTA update notification as well as via PC Companion?
Hang on... why is this 380mb when the others are usually 980mb odd?
EDIT: Wholy shoot..... glad I caught that in time. The download couldn't have worked properly. PMSL
Nearly flashed that and all.

When you guys upgraded to KitKat without wiping your phone first do any existing apps get removed so they have to be reinstalled?
I ask because I just read that due to the new SD card restrictions done apps could be deleted when the OS is updated to KitKat.

I bought the phone at a bell store. I have bell as my provider. So yes I have a bell branded z2. I have not updated because I'm waiting for exintenz to update to 4.0. His rom is the best.
Thanks!
I managed to update my Z2. Thanks a lot..

Now that you have said that I have a friend at my work with a z2 and he has. 55 on it. When he clicks update center it tells him that he's up to date. Both of us are on bell too. Only difference is mine is rooted and his is not. Strange.

Maybe your running a firmware different other than what your phone came with?

you should be able to get the update, I have a Bell Z2, i was rooted on the .314 software version. Then flashed back to stock Bell firmware. And the update was available both OTA and via PC Companion. worked no problem for me. but I re rooted after following Nortis guide.
Ok.im completly stock but have no OTA available.
Whats pc companion?? Sorry im a noob with sony
I also don't have the update available. I've looked and haven't seen any info from Bell saying they won't release this update. What is this info based on?
