Unless you are in Israel or on 3 UK, and you like heavy carrier customisation, you REALLY DO NOT WANT THESE.

I disagree, I flash this ROM yesterday and she is very fast and have a new baseband.
You have to clean the bloatware first, but after that she is very good.
I am going to test the battery and baseband today, but so for, so good.

You cleaned your rom. I assume that you managed to have root access on this rom? Can you show me how?
I did flash this rom with wotan but failed to root it with DooMLoRD_v3.

my arc-s is not flashable via wotan or sony software, only via recovery and .zip images.....
so is there a way to convert the dlded files from wotan to get useable files for recovery?
cheers

I flash the DoomLord kernel, but if you don't have the bootloader unlock you can't flash from .48 or .58 version, is the same.

Hi, from version 2.3.5 (only few days old) Wotan DOES support flashing all xperias with unlocked bootloader too. (simple - Wotan can flash any xperia now - with locked or with unlocked bootloader (unlocked by official tool or by testpoint)

Update: How to flash this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
Update 2: I have added some screenshots with software info.
Also from that screens I have noticed few changes (may be some of them were there in previous firmwares also)
1. "Capture screen" function is gone from power-off menu.
2. DualShock 3 support added
3. NFC Icon
4. MyXperia
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

I felt differences in battery stamina mode in past 4.2.2 updates, i observed to learn about UK unique app: Extended Standby Mode (seems much more
effective in saving battery instead of Eco Mode Controller) I wonder 4.3 still have that in UK firmware ornot. Will test few days.
Found working in SONY SELECT connection (not blank for searching themes too), in other firmware seems abit problem
Oh right another is just extra apps such as File Commandeer, Xperia Diagnostic (For UK Firmware only), Dropbox, Xperia™ Lounge. Cheers

I flashed this rom on my phone..the status bar has 4G instead of LTE. Is this normal with this rom?

mmmh anybody else experiencing bluetooth audio problems on this firmware? it's strange, some kind of a scratching noise, not hearable all the time, but in a song always at the same certain time, like as if i'd be linked to a certain frequency or something (reproducible). just exchanged my mdr-10rbt headphones into new ones and then figured out that it wasn't them . maybe i'll just flash back to 4.2.2 and report.
edit: just flashed back to the german .67 rom and bluetooth audio works perfectly again. HOW IN HELL DOES THAT MAKE SENSE??

Pls use the latest flashtool available and move ftf file into firmware folder. Make sure u have installed necessary useb driver for Xperia Z. For ftf flashing, if there is "TA" option, pls exclude it. Hope helps

If i have an Unlocked Bootloader , running .1.136 STOCK odexed, (never flashed a ROM) can I update using FOTA?

More than likely I would say any moded phone unless it's returned to stock won't update ota. At least that's how it was back in my Samsung days, I haven't moded my Sony. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to just flash an ftf when it's available. Someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's how it is....

If changelog is correct - there are no Tap2wake, no 4K, TimeShift and smart features - no matter how optimised it'll be without new features it's just faster JB.
We already have almost all from Z2 so once again, we'll have to rely on our brains....
Fortunately, @serajr is preparing systemUI for KK and I'm sure we will all work on porting and moving apps and features from Z2 KK.
I'm not sure I'll even flash KK.
I'm sure I won't flash it now, without root privilege...

Have you checked if your region received it through:
Xpericheck.com
Or:
Fwchecker.com
You can download the ftf with Flashtool that got Xperifirm included. It fixes everything automatically, the only thing you have to do is downloading it and afterwards flash it. Even if your region hasn't received you can give another region a go, but I wouldn't recommend it, because the mobile network is customized in each different firmware region

The moment you alter the kernel even the slightest bit from the OEM settings, the bootloader needs to be unlocked.
So my answer is that it won't work with locked bootloader.
