Here's the Generic North America 4.4.2 release for Sony. It's untouched, just zipped and split into ~ 450mb files - and it's large enough it's 3 files in size. (Today's rather psycho, and perhaps this evening when I should have more time, I'll re-zip and upload again as 2 files.)
I've tested this by flashing it to my own device. Even with that, I don't guarantee this to work for you.
If you're locked boot loader, you'll want to look at Nuts thread elsewhere for files to help you stay rooted (once he actually builds a zip for 230).
If you're Unlocked boot loader, you can flash this, then flash a kernel with a build-in recovery and root using the update-su file found elsewhere on XDA, then flash the kernel from this FTF again once you're rooted.

C6506_10.5.A.0.230_Generic US (1270-7584) .zip.003
For what it's worth, this feels pretty smooth, no bluetooth hiccups (no pops, pauses, etc while listening to it on my way home - so about 30-45 minutes straight...), but I haven't really tested anything further...
great man!
can i flash this on my xperia zl 6502 lockbooloader no root even just have with generic sony FW, thanks sorry my bad english
C6502 IN
Will this ftf work for C6502 IN?
regards.
I wouldn't flash the modem/baseband, but the rest should be fine.
Though it will then appear as a 6506...

I am confused to how I am supposed to keep my root from .101 on a locked boot loader... All I can find from NUT seems to be a stripped ftf made for .101 and nothing else... If you had any input on that, thank you!
It just came out this morning. Give people some time to get root working and flashable zips.

Nothing really customized. OfficeSuite viewer, whatsap, adobe reader, neoreader, file commander maybe other apps I dont remember. But they are all deletable without root.
This firmware is rootable with Doomlord exploit. I just tried it

Muito bom !!! very Good !!
Bro... thanks!
I've uploaded Vivo BR to gdrive too, so if you want an alternative link for it, get it from here
Edit:
For those who want generic boot animation (instead of carrier one), replace /system/media/bootanimation.zip by the attached one (generic Xperia KK boot animation - thanks @scifan) with rw-r--r-- permissions! And to remove carrier shutdown animation, delete /system/vendor/overlay/com.sonyericsson.shutdownanim-res.apk file.
Tks!
Why you added kernel only link, need to flash they after or before flash the ROM?
And to root, know if bin4ry tool kit is working or any other way to root without unlock bootloader?

If you have unlocked bootloader:

- flash (fastboot) any old kernel with built-in recovery (I have used this one)
- boot into recovery
- flash SuperSU .zip file
- Power off device (do not reboot)
- Flash (flashtool) only kernel from ftf again

What recovery can I use with 10.5.A.0.230 ?
Thanks!
But I think I messed up with my ZQ. I was at 4.2.2 (Claro BR) , then I upgraded to 4.3 (no carrier). Last week I bought a 4G (LTE) chip, but even when I'm on an area with 4G signal, I can't use it. Do you think it can be related with the fact that I forced another ROM from another carrier via flashtool?!
I has on 4.2 from claro and upgraded to generic 4.3, Just like you, no problem using 4g (LTE).

I experienced radio issues when flashing PAC 4.3 rom.. LTE on claro wasn't working. Then, i flashed 4.3 stock rom and it did worked. Although, i flashed both roms with with Flashtool. I never used Sony's regular update software with my ZQ.
You can try accessing Phone Information menu via *#*#4636#*#* and checking if Radio Band is set to automatic (default and maybe the only option available).
4G on .230 works flawlessly.

Então o primeiro passo é desbloquear o bootloader seguindo o método oficial sony, depois flashear um kernel que tenha recovery (se você já está na kitkat use o kernel desse tópico http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762551 ). Dai é só entrar na recovery e flashear o SuperSU (que você já tem que ter colocado no sdcard).

https://mega.co.nz/#!h10SwTxJ!F-fH_zLsNa_S5RdYHFVhY1Ui3YBR0DfokQ9_IWdILuA
the steps of install
1: be rooted with recovery (4.4.2 or 4.4.4)
2: download and pass the rom to the internal or external memory
3: reboot to recovery
4: wipe for a new install (data, cache,system)
5: install zip rom
6: let it settle (5 to 10 mins)
7: enjoy
steps
What steps I've to follow? I'm downloading, thanks for the server
imagino que los pasos son los mismos
descargas el zip lo flasheas desde recovery y despues con el flasthol flasheas el ftf de lollipop c6906_242 us y listo

EDIT : three day review - ARGUABLY THE BEST STOCK OS FOR ZL
Increased responsiveness, apps open quicker, app switcher operates instantly as opposed to a small lag in 5.0.1.
Memory optimization and multitasking is great
battery life is more or less the same, cell standby power consumption issue seems resolved, only 5-10% now
First Impressions:
Smoother
No Lag
All things functional
weird gap between network and battery icons in status bar
overall a nice update
will post if i get any abnormal behaviour
Can I apply this FTF from the recovery or just with flashtool? Either way do I need a new kernel? Or just installing the FTF will be fine?
Sorry I haven't customize my phone since a while ...
Thx for the FTF :fingers-crossed:

@DarkGonz Sorry for late reply, just flashtool is ok
@johnred3 if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can flash any of the advanced stock kernels available for ZL, root via recovery, and then re flash this ftf and select only kernel file while flashing
