Certain improvements for your procedure...

Thanks dude, this method was extremely small and quick. :highfive: I used Ubuntu (saucy) to root my device, and here are the refined instructions:

1. Cydia Impactor, as the great guy above said ^_^

steps 2 and 3 are also same

4. Here, I get "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su," not push, and I'm not sure if they are exactly the same or not,:confused: anyway continue

For superSU, i installed the SuperSU app from the store. And Root Explorer installed BusyBox for my device (andi 4di):angel:

These are the only corrections to the answer i've been looking for since the last year...

Thank you again.;)

When I use Cydia I get a error "device not found". It seems like the USB driver is missing. How to fix this ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swoope:
subject pretty much covers it..

pulled the phone of the charger yesterday afternoon, saw that there was an update. let it install. it did without issue..

noticed some changes, settings and phone icon. were different..

phone came off charger at ~4 pm. at 8 pm it hit 20%. this was with no use. just turned it on to check for txt.. i usually get about 2 days out of a charge..

anyone else getting this. btw, have read back several pages to make sure this has no been covered.. yep i found the location settings gps stuff. did it. charged phone again, still after 3 hrs down to 50%.

is there a way to roll back to 4.3 without unlocking and rooting? this is the first phone i have left stock.. i am very frustrated that a stock ota has taken my phone backwards!!!!

beers
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffrhn:
My suggestion would be to factory reset your phone. Yes, it will erase everything so make a backup of your sd card on your pc. As it will erase everything, why not use this chance to unlock your device too? No harm in doing that imo. If you want to claim your warranty, just relock it later (well in my place they just take it even with unlocked bootloader :p). Lastly, to flash back 4.3 factory images, you don't need root. You just need to have adb and drivers properly configured, usb debug on and you're good to go.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swoope:
no option to back up to sd card.. have done the unlock and mod thing for quite a while.. this is the first phone i have not had the need to do it. just got off the phone with google.

guy was semi sure that a factory reset would take me back to what came out of the box, which was ics.

getting ready to do it..

beers
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffrhn:
It's not gonna take you back to ics if your have updated to kitkat. It will still be in kitkat but a clean one though. Anyway, just save anything you need from your phone to your pc first (pics/notes/music/whatever) as it will clears everything on your phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swoope:
well i did a factory reset. same issue. with some reading around i have found that it is location services that is killing the battery.

if i take the the phone off of high accuracy battery will live, but gps is not really useable. how is it different than 4.3? very frustrated!

beers

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
I have found that the Google+ app drains battery. If you don't use it, uninstall or disable it and set your location to "battery saving" in Settings for location. In addition, wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery and reboot. After that you will see a significance in battery saving.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at4r1:
Have you tried using CPU spy or better battery stats to see whats going on? CPU spy will tell you if your phone isn't going into deep sleep. BBS will tell you which wakelock is keeping your phone awake.

You may have an app misbehaving in 4.4 that used to work fine in 4.3.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turqoise:
You should try turning off location reporting rather than changing the accuracy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swoope:
thanks for the suggestions. it is related to location settings / gps.. if i set the gps to high accuracy it just kills the battery.. was never an issue with 4.3.

have talked to google, the said they would replace the phone, i think i might revert to 4.3 and see what happens.. my phone has been rock solid till the 4.4 update..

Hi

Would allowing purging of assets affect somehow battery life? And what about kernel samepage merging?

I'm rather interested in increasing battery life than performance. What are your recommendations regarding these settings ?

[Sony Xperia ZL] R4GE199:
Works Great!! so far no bugs except the volume is low. Does this include multi windows feature?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Guanfy:
I've installed the new build, but my SD card is not being detected correctly. I have found this issue with all 3 builds of omni that I have tried with this phone. Otherwise the build seems to be running fine. Can't wait to see more features being added.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
No multi window for now

ExFat?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Guanfy:
I'm not sure. I don't remember doing any special formatting when I installed it. I'll check and get back with you.

**EDIT**

Exfat was indeed the issue. I reformatted it to fat32 and that should fix the issue for now. I wonder why CM was able to support exfat?

well then... 1st attempt at loading this rom ended in a boot loop...

having to restore stock with flashtool... *sigh* could be worse... but I don't have a ton of time to play with this today...

The boot loop is probably my fault as I'd tried grabbing another gapps I've used with another 4.4 rom...

[Sony Xperia ZL] Meister_Li:
Hmm... It seems like the Mobile Network services aren't working for me. I requested APN Settings via SMS from my ISP (Tesco Mobile Ireland, it is by default roaming on O2's Network), but this never arrived. Setting the APN settings manually also did not help despite allowing Data roaming. Calling however works without issues (I called my bank as a test). Any idea what is causing this? I have the suspicion that it is the national roaming that is causing issues here, but I have no other SIM to test.

Edit: It seems that is actually does work, but the connection logo doesn't change from the "roaming" to the H+/H/DC logo even tho the internet connection is there.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Guanfy:
I'm noticing the bluetooth call volume is quite low so far in Omni. On my car receiver unit under CM I would have to turn it down so I wouldn't blow out my eardrums, but I have to max out the volume under Omni so that I can hear who's calling.
[Sony Xperia ZL] keenofhiphop:
Hello, i flashed this, after some problems with the kernel (that I solved by reading this thread) I cannot gain root access. I flashed superuser v3.X.X (I don't know exactly) but it doesn't work.

Could you link a version that works please? And it would be nice to mention in the OP that one gets problems with stock recovery.

Enable developer options by going to settings>about phone, and tap on the build number 7 times.

Then go to developer options, and hit the Root Access tab and select "Apps and ADB"

Good to go!

Well I don't have that in developer options.... I'm gonna reflash superuser and root.

Hi, Im getting a little lag/sluggishness when changing apps, pressing home button and stuff, seems like it lags a bit when transitioning between things...

Especially when I press the recent apps button to the right of the home screen button, it takes like a full second to come up,

is it supposed to be like this? When I saw videos of first kitkat and also omnirom it looked really smooth.

Help installing!

Hey all! Right now I have a C6506 running 4.2.2 build 10.3.1.A.2.67 and I'd love to be using this. Now I havent modded my phone for a while now, and I was just wondering how I can install this from a fresh start? I'm aware of CWM, rooting and everything, I just kinda need a refresh on order of operation. I'm not a huge power user, so the most that I'd want is 4.4 and it to be rooted. Thanks for everyone that helps!
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
You need to find out if your unit has an unlockable bootloader first. In order to flash AOSP based ROM you require a different kernel, which requires an unlocked bootloader. Once you know that, just follow some of the root/recovery threads to get a working recovery on your device. Then you just flash this ROM and gapps in recovery to be rockin some KitKat!
[Sony Xperia ZL] NumberSign:
Sweet! I'll dive into the forums and start looking for everything I need! +Thanks :

EDIT: I bought my Phone directly from Bell, so I'm assuming it's locked. Do I have to unlock it with one of those codes, or is there a way to do it yourself?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
What your talking about is being "carrier locked." That's different the unlocking your bootloader. Carrier locks prevent you from being able to use your phone with any carrier except the one its locked too, like bell. Having an unlocked bootloader allows your phone to read different boot.img files, which is what is required to use asop Roms. Sony devices have their kernels baked into the boot.img, so you need to be able to flash a custom boot.img, which you need an unlocked bootloader to do. Carrier unlocking has NOTHING to do with it, lol. Hope you figure it out. Just check the q&a and general sections for pointers.
[Sony Xperia ZL] TolaSkamp:
My bootloader is locked and by reading forums it appears its unlockable. Is it truly unlockable or is there a way to unlock it? I would really like to try out this 4.4 ROM. Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] feydakin:
Hey, can someone test this and say me if the omnirom have the same bugs as the actual cm11 builds?

1. no sound through headphones (headphones without a mic!) during a call

2. while using a headphone, the ringtone is still coming out the speaker instead in the headphone (really annoying if you are in a metro or something)
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Use Flashtool to backup your TA partition then follow unlock procedures, you need to get the unlock code from sony(easily done online).

I'm getting both of those on Omnirom 12/15 nightly.
[Sony Xperia ZL] TolaSkamp:
Thanks for your reply. I can get an unlock code even though my phone says "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"? Can you please direct me to where I can get that unlock code?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Oh, then unfortunately you cannot unlock your bootloader. Your carrier has decided to lock that feature, which means that you're stuck with stock based roms, or any rom that can run on the original sony kernel.

CM and Omni require custom kernels which you can't flash if you have a locked bootloader.

The unlock code is only for phones that have Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
I don't believe its a carrier choice. I think its Sony. I don't know of any other devices where some are unlockable and some aren't. It seems like anyone who has a carrier locked device also has an unlockable bootloader. Sorry Skamp. Looks like ur s.o.l unfortunately...:thumbdown:
[Sony Xperia ZL] TolaSkamp:
Thanks for the replies. I think its time to sell my ZL ... Whats your thoughts on the Nexus 5?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
:thumbup:
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Carrier locking doesn't have anything to do with unlockable bootloaders, they just tend to happen at the same time.

Carriers can and do order versions of phones the don't allow unlocking bootloaders so that people can't brick these $600 devices they paid $50 for.

I'm amazed you've never heard of this before since it's been prevalent on almost all phones since bootloader unlocking became popular, and it's not just a Sony thing, pretty much every other mfg does this too.

There have been cases where this was a mfg decision back in the day(like Motorola) but what with the prevalence of people wanting to flash ROMs, they've seen how pointless it is on devices people pay the full, unlocked, price for.

If he had ordered his ZL unlocked(like from Amazon or something) then he would've been able to unlock the bootloader. Simple as that, if you order your phone from a carrier then your results will depend on the carrier.

Nexus 5 is a fine phone, but a lack of MicroSD slot is what prevented me from switching.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
Nexus5 rocks.... I maintain omni there too...
[Sony Xperia ZL] TolaSkamp:
Great! I am going to try and get a Nexus 5 and try out Omni ... I was hesitant with it lacking the MicroSD slot, but I will try and get the 32GB, I normally don't fill my 32GB MicroSD card anyway ... Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Yes I am well aware of other companies locking down their bootloaders. My first phone was the Moto Atrix :S

But i have NEVER come across a device where it wasn't possible AT ALL, through some type of exploit.

We had to wait for someone to find a way to unlock the bootloader on the Atrix, but it was still possible.

As far as i know if your sony device says "bootloader unlockable: No" then you are just screwed.

Maybe im wrong, but ive owned LG's, HTC's, Samsungs, Motorola's and Sony's.

And Sony is the only one where its either you can or cant. There is no "wait for someone to find a vulnerability"
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
But there is a flaw with that argument, in that those manufacturers didn't put those vulnerabilities in on purpose. The fact that unlocking the bootloader on your Atrix was possible was due to someone spending a lot of time and effort trying to break what Motorola had done to lock the bootloader. In fact, I think it was Motorola that back in the day wanted to implement a chip that would melt and permanently damage the phone if it detected the wrong bootloader.(Which was scrapped for very obvious reasons)

They had planned to have the bootloader permanently locked, Sony just seems to have succeeded where others failed, at least for now. Who knows, maybe in time we will find a vulnerability in the Sony bootloader locking process. But until then, Sony isn't any different from other manufacturers when it comes to locking bootloaders.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
I agree. I know carriers are bast**ds when it comes to lockin us out. All I meant was that I haven't come across a company whose figured it out the way Sony has. I mean I remember when I almost attempted unlocking the bootloader on a Xperia Arc, until I found out you had to short circuit it in some way to achieve this. F that! I'm just glad I got an unlockable one. I figured with the recent popularity of the Xperia devices since the Z, and devs like doomlord who've been around a while, nobody's found a way. Whatever Sony does to keep us out, they do it well.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Summer Son:
mithun46, I want to try Omni but TWRP currently does not support ZL, however I found a boot.img in the zip file I've downloaded, is recovery included there? Can I flash it first, then go to recovery and flash the whole image previously copied to SD?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
You can flash OMNI with CWM just fine. I do it all the time, lol :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia ZL] Summer Son:
Yes, I know, but still is recovery included in boot.img? Was your CWM replaced by TWRP after you flashed this ROM?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Not the last time I flashed omni. But its been a while. Been using cm nightlies the last couple weeks
[Sony Xperia ZL] Summer Son:
I'll answer my question myself.

Yes, the boot.img in ROM's zip file includes TWRP recovery. So it is possible to flash boot.img first by means of fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img

then boot into recovery and flash ROM's zip previously placed on SD card (internal storage).

Hi mithun,

would it be possible to cherrypick the feature: multi-window?

[Sony Xperia ZL] melquisedec:
Where can I find the Gapps for this ROM?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Any gapps pack for 4.4+ from any forum should work, unless its been modified for whatever reason.

Anyway the latest nighlie has some extra features, but HOOOORRIBLE screen tearing issues. Disabling hardware overlays in settings helps slightly. Also, the torch in the quick settings pulldown doesn't work, and there is no app for it in the app drawer. Aaaannd... there is nowhere to enable root. Usually you enable it in developer options, but its not there, and my apps cannot gain root access. Downloading supersu doesn't work either. Other than those issues its looking good on the progress side of things. Hopefully tomorrows build fixes the problems..

Another major bug I've noticed about a week ago and its still present (sorry if its already known): there are clocs on top bar and nav buttons on the bottom on lockscreen. Also no options to launch camera from lockscreen. Its icon is covered by nav buttons. Pulling the notification tab and removing it removes buttons and clock, but camera and slider "^" sign still do not appear.
