How can I go back to 4.1?

[CooperZ]

Hi all

Just updated my xperia Z to 4.2.2 couple days ago. After a while, I realiesed realized that the 4.2.2 isnt as good as 4.1.

Can anyone tell me how to flashback to 4.1? Or where to download the firmware?

PS: Yes 4.2.2 is faster in almost anyway but it just do have the experience of 4.1 (widgets& sony customized menu) 

Any input will be very much appreciated

You can downgrade with Flashtool, or you could take your phone to a Sony repair center and see if they can downgrade your phone.

Is the downgrade link in that post broken? What's the alternative way of sending my phone to the service center?
