Followed all the instructions and it's on KK! :) I didn't wipe data and everything from my JB installation was there where I left it when KK came up.

The only hiccup - not really a problem with these instructions - was a problem I had when I initially rooted that re-appeared. I haven't seen anyone else describe it, so I had to wing it. For some reason, every time it enters flash mode, the phone disconnects very quickly and requires that I re-enter flash mode (i.e. power down, and vol-dn, usb connect). As soon as I do that, Flashtool takes off without complaint.

It just stuck on boot for the first time and then it starts to boot loop. I did not install the dualrecovery zip.

Any ideas why?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zxz0O0:
Well you're supposed to install the dualrecovery. Although even if you do not install it, there should be no boot loop. So I guess you also missed some other step. Did you format /system? Can you get into recovery?

Guys, need help. I upgraded to Kitkat as per instructions in this topic (with the exception that I also checked to wipe data when flashing since I wanted a clean install). It's rooted, working nice, I was even able to edit mixer_paths to boost speaker and headphones volumes. But some apps def have problems with SD, i.e. I can't choose my external SD card as a default folder for Dolphin Browser downloads and My Playlist Maker won't make playlists from music folder also located on SD. Can anyone tell me, is this just a "feature" of the new KitKat OS and can it be fixed somehow? Because with such "feature" SD card becomes simply useless for me...

P.S. I tried making changes to platform.xml manually and with SDfix app from Market - it did change values but I still couldn't get Dolphin to use external SD as default download folder or My Playlist Maker to create playlists out of music folder located there.

I can confirm that following the original rooting guide from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642081 and replacing

Right, I fed up on "locked Bootloader" as I have some issues/ bugs after upgrading from JB to KK (Rooted + Locked BL) through Guidance here therefore I decided to Repair using PCC then realized after repair I have no Recovery. :(

Are there any way to Root Kitkat from scratch once I "Unlocked Bootloader"? (I've already backup TA so not worried about that). Please if anyone can guide me the steps on Rooting Kitkat. I found it confused as which step to start first or do I still need Docomo tft to get root? If there's a quick way to Root + Unlock BL I would very much appreciated.

Sorry if the questions been asked many times but I fail to understand correctly by using search. Thanks guys
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zxz0O0:
Since you already have a backup of your TA partition you should be able to just unlock bootloader. Once it's unlocked, flash the KitKat ftf with flashtool. After that flash this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2620794 as described in the thread. Lastly, flash SuperSU in recovery and you're done ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] thermalboyz:
Cheers zxz0O0,

As summary Steps: - (Correct me if I am wrong)

1) Unlock Bootloader - Guidance http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2440597

2) Flash Kitkat tft - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2687691

3) Flash CWM Kernel - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2620794

4) Go to recovery - Flash Supersu

Maybe it could be usefull, to autoupdate further updates from sony for german devices.

If there comes a working method, to keep root, under 4.4.2, through an original manufacturer update.

If it goes wrong, i had to beginn from the start again. Rooting is a bad robbery of time.

So shall I first follow that guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2634196 and then this guide? Now, I have read that is good thing to do hard reset after update. Will I loose root if i do so?

PS. I already got KK updated via PCC.

Follow the original rooting guide and replace (you can get both from the first post in this thread)

- D5503_14.2.A.1.114_Generic UK-nosystem.ftf with D5503_14.3.A.0.681_Generic_UK-nosystem.ftf and

- z1c-43-uk.system.flashable.zip with z1c-44-uk.system.flashable.zip

You should get a clean KK.

Also use the latest recovery (.101).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] diceroller:
Right, I will try that. Thank you.

And please report back if everything worked. Then I might aswell update my rooting guide so you can get directly on KitKat ;)

I'm not one to open up new threads, but I thought this might be an appropriate time to do so. Anyway, I'm going to sum this up in as short of an explanation as I can.

My GPS used to work fine and today, all of a sudden it completely crapped out on me. Time and time again I tried to get a lock and it just wouldn't work. So I thought about any new apps I recently installed. The only two were snapdragon battery guru and KiK messaging app. I forced closed battery guru with no results. Now immediately after force closing KiK my GPS instantly got an accurate lock on me. Needles to say that app has now been deleted. So if anyone is having GPS issues be sure to remove that app and see if it helps. Later everyone, peace.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] luchofu:
Hello. A few months back a friend of mine bought an HTC One from Verizon. She lives in Argentina, so the 3g network doesn't work there, just EDGE. Because of that, she tried to flash a custom ROM. I really don't know why, but she flashed this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2626050

So, now her cellphone doesn't boot. She has a nandroid in the phone, but can't use it because there is no recovery (actually the real problem is that the recovery doesn't boot either (CWM)). I think maybe she can try to use fastboot to recover from that backup (at least is what I've read) but, can you explain me how to do that? Other options are welcome too. She says that at least, fastboot is working. Thank you very much!

PD: sorry for my terrible english.

Usually the fastest and easiest fix is to RUU because the partitions are messed up.

I've done some research on WiFi roaming between AP's with the same SSID and posted my findings on the Google Product Forums but I'm hitting brick wall.

Anyone who has any clues on how and why this doesn't work? Here is the link that contains all my finding:

https://productforums.google.com/d/topic/nexus/93GcQ8O75q8/discussion

Situation:

I'm standing next to my WiFi access point downstairs, I have full signal bars and perfect connection. I then move upstairs (2 stories up) and move next to the AP located upstairs.

Expected behaviour:

The phone should notice that the AP it is connected to has very weak signal, barely 1 bar left near -85/-90 db which is hardly usable. On the next background scan it should also find the second AP has much better signal, around -45db and decide to 'roam' to the other AP.

Actual behaviour:

The phone maintains a persistent connection with the AP downstairs for hours and does not 'roam' to the AP upstairs causing bad connection and battery drain.

Anyone any idea's? Can we maybe start a discussion about this issue and get some dev involved maybe who can shed some light on how this is supposed to work in Android?

I have the exact same problem. My 2 accesspoints are both Asus wireless router RT-AC68U. It's very frustrating. I know this is an old topic but maybe there is a solution available? Or is the problem solved with Lollipop?

Same happened to me and i found my fix on an app called Wifi Jumper. It might help you.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goramart.wifijumper&hl=en

Doesn't matter the SSID, it will just scan for a better signal every interval you set it to in the settings.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakjebakmeel:
Yeah apps like that will do the trick but this is a workaround for the actual issue. The apps are user space whilst wpa_supplicant should deal with this. It will drain more battery than a proper solution.

The solution is quite simple, wpa_supplicant can do this but android does not put the proper directive into the conf file. It will need a code change in the android framework.

I can confirm on the new android lollipop preview my phone jumps to the high WiFi signal in my house. I have Asus ac68u and a airport used a extender and my phone never gets stuck on one signal.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakjebakmeel:
Is it in extender or AP mode? If in extender mode the device does not need to roam, only in AP mode with the same SSID the android needs to actually roam..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
The airport is a ap. I just set it to bridge mode in the airport settings so it can pull ips from the main router. They're connected thru a DECA connection. DECA is like moca but using different frequencies on coax wires.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakjebakmeel:
Sounds like the issue is fixed if it roams before fully loosing the signal.

If you have root you could check the wpa_supplicant.conf to see if they have now added a line for the bgscan module. This would complete the theory.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Out of interest, do you have "avoid poor connections" set in WiFi settings?

I do find mine does roam, but I'm not sure if it is down to losing signal completely or avoiding due to poor
