I had found it yet..but It requires to clean all data, system, wipe everything , etc...
anyway today I've found this, it seems to be a good update and it doesn't requires to delete everything to be flashed. It saves all data in the smartphone
It could be useful to other "lazy" updaters like me, so I post the link here:

Requirements:
- Flashtool 0.9.16 by @Androxyde
- XZDualRecovery 2.7.90 BETA or newer.
- Current rooted FW version: 10.4.1.B.0.101.
Special features:
- SuperSU integrated in system, FULL ROOT!
- XZDualRecovery 2.7.123 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
- init.d support (read how to enable)
- For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
If you are unable to download torrent files directly, have http://zbigz.com/ do it for you!
How to update to 10.5.A.0.230:
- Files (Find them on the DevDB Download tab!):
- For C6602: Download C6602_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip (935MB) and C6602_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf (17MB)
- For C6603 & C6606: Download C6603_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip (898MB) and C6603_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf (17MB)
- For C6616: Download C6616_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip (932MB) and C6616_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf (17MB)
- Put 'C66XX_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
- Put 'C66XX_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
- Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
- Flash 'C66XX_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip' in TWRP (if you notice your phone reboot during the update process, update to the latest XZDualRecovery and try again);
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off; - Flash everything in 'C66XX_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
- Reboot to system.
The first boot will be slow and after some time at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.
Enjoy! :laugh:
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
- Restore any JB 4.2.2 FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
- Root it using any means you are familiar with.
- Install XZDualRecovery;
- Update to 10.4.1.B.0.101;
- Then try to update again using TWRP.
- If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.
Thank you

[STOCK][C66XX][4.4] Update to 10.5.A.0.230 [Root & XZDR], ROM for the Sony Xperia Z
Contributors
[NUT]
ROM OS Version: 4.4.x KitKat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
Based On: STOCK
Version Information
Status: Abandoned
Current Stable Version: 10.5.A.0.230
Stable Release Date: 2014-05-24
Created 2014-05-24
Last Updated 2014-08-205IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Because I have to prioritize the time I have between projects and my personal life as well as my business life got increasingly busy, I have decided this was the last package I have done for public release.
Anyone able and willing is invited to take over the magic wand of releasing these update packages. I will be working on expanding the toolkit used for it and will keep updating the DIY thread, working with who ever takes over to fix any issues in the ROM that might be caused by security issues. These will be implemented in XZDR as soon as a solution is found, so you will still see loads more from me, just no ROM packages.
The DIY thread: [DIY GUIDE] Create a personalized ROM yourself!
Ask any question on the process of creating these packages there.
I will be placing the files which I released under the Download tab on the DevDB bar, cleaning stuff from my private downloads server in the coming weeks. The last topics I did for the update packages will remain open but I will stop monitoring them as soon as the files have been put on the XDA file server.2
Backup is just for precaution, in case of any brick of new ROM.Thank you again Nut!! KK it is working awesome for my XZ
I just have some stupid questions they are confusing me...
1. Why do we have to create a backup via TWRP if I don't see when to restore it after installing? Shall we do it? Is it just for precaution? Or does it restore automatically when we install the flashable zip?
2. Does the option "Factory reset" in TWRP is exactly the same as the option of "Factory data reset" in settings menu/Backup & restore?
3. Related to 2nd question, if I also chose to erase internal memory, will I lose root or dual recovery? (In case I would like a very very clean install of 4.4 but with root and dual recovery)
Thanks in advance for your comments
