I don't think so but branded ones have locked bootloader I believe. Apart from that, yes it's possible to flash generic FW. |

Great question WRT the 4.2 update, I was told by some fans right here that it would be available in 2weeks time...that was 3weeks ago 
Really and who exactly told you that ?

randomuser.
I'm pretty sure that was 2 weeks ago, not 3. And I can guarantee the Xperia Z gets 4.2 before the S4 is released. And randomuser used another person as a source, who now says that the 4.1 roll-out will occur before the Z gets 4.2, and the 4.1 roll-out is imminent. |

All are branded by default.
Yes I might actually do that, since it would save my time.
Is there any 100% safe method which would debrand my Z and put pure Generic Polish SW in the phone?

ftfs are generic roms. You should have no problem flashing it on a locked boot loader. Head over to xda-developer, you will find more info and a tutorial there. Also check out xperia T discussion thread. Ricky_D has also posted a guide for flashing.

But where are these ROMs. What is FTFS. Are they available on the Sony's Flashtool?
Looks like Flashtool = Emma.
Does it flash any available Sony's ROM to the device?

You don't need to unlock or Root.
Just install and Flash.
And yes you can do same with EMMA as well. |

Who said? You don't need unlock for Flashing FTF.
Where did you read that unlock is needed?  |
