It is not possible to install 4.4 ROM's without unlocking bootloader. What problems are You having while following Sony instructions?

No! Don't try install any Kitkat ROM without unlock your bootloader... Ok?...
Because you need flash the Modded Kernel maded especially to this KitKkat Android OS can work with it.. without it anything work's... And with this especifique kernel the rom dont have any random resets and bootloop =D

i followed this page (i can't write a url)
search on google "unlock bootloader sony xperia s" and the Sony page result.
at the end, its said on the xperia S, "Allow to unlock bootloader = No"
something like that.

Ah, Since You have "Allow to unlock bootloader = No", You cannot unlock Your bootloader, and there is no possible way to unlock it. You can always try ROM built for locked bootloaders.

andriod kitkat 4.4.4
hi there....can u tell me how to install Kitkat 4.4... on my xperia acro s

man i have done it twice with that instructions and unlocked successfully .

bluetooth problem with AOSP 4.4.4 rom
1st of all i'd like to thank everybody who worked on this project and appreciate their work and
say that it seems the blue tooth does not work well because personally i have problems with my cars
head unit (pioneer deh-8950bt) .
every thing is ok from connecting to syncing contacts but there is no voice on calls just a i can hear
something like hummm and noises.
i didnt have this problem with stock rom.
and i had a hang while was on camera for a long period without taking a photo (just once).i dont use camera usually.
p.s : having less than 10 posts does not show im an idiot !
my phone :
sony xperia acro s
kernel 96
rooted
unlocked bootloader via flash tool
rom : 4.4.4 ASOP
link to thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785450

I can confirm this problem: listening to music via bluetooth works, but not handsfree.
I checked with a Sony MW600, an Arctic P311 and a Belkin Air Cast Auto.
When trying to make a call, only strange hissing sounds can be heard.
But there's another, much bigger problem with this rom:
After a few minutes of heavy usage (e.g. some websites, navigating with GPS) the phone freezes, the screen turns a strange yellow-red color and the phone reboots. It then enters a boot loop. Only after letting it cool for a few minutes will it start up again.
This happens from 0 to 10 times a day.
Apart from this, the rom is great.
Cheers,
Johannes

bluetooth problem
Hi
I love this rom - its so fast, but i have a problem with bluetooth and my jvc car unit. When i try to call by car unit i only hear noise - nothing else. I had this problem on AOSP 4.4.3 and on 4.4.4 also.
Have you any idea what is the problem? Thanks for your reply . Your work is great.

I found a possible reason for the frequent crashes. The CPU was overclocked to 1,8GHz by default. I never changed the clock speed and only found out after installing Setcpu.
At 1,6GHz the crashes have stopped.
Is that behaviour intended or a bug?
Cheers,
Johannes

Please say me how you installed rom,I installed CWM and my phone is rooted but i can t enter in recovery mode on my acro S

But...but... What about us with D802? :C

If f320s users that flash this please let me know if you can root and or tot back to earlier versions that would be great... If LG did anything like the G3 then this may kill adb / root in the future and I'd like to know if they did this in new update. Thanks in advance

Well crap...just as I suspected....thus does mean no way to root, recovery, or revert to older stock to do such for now...with no adb...chances of getting this to happen is very slim in the future...I want to warn ALL VARIANTS in the future updates for Lollipop stock about this.

This happen too in last d630r (LG G2 mini) update. For rooting i've uses Lg G3 metod and it was useful but haven't tried to flash recovery or other. I think that we need to come in the same way like G3

Probably someone needs to make a flashable zip of the kdz and then he has to try to flash supersu afterwards. This could be working

No that's why I'm warning people...any variant that takes the official lollipop update may never have a way of going back or getting on a custom ROM again...with the g3 official lollipop update...anyone that took it...is stuck on stock with no return as far as I know...I wouldn't be so happy about this official update guys...its also a shame some user warded of the few developers who could even get close to bypassing it possible...a user that released something he shouldn't have

Just my thoughts. If that could work, we can retain root and custom recovery. An ideal situation tbh.

Aha I get your point, Rev. And you're very right about the consequences of making it open-source. But don't you honestly think it would've come to this anyway with time?

All I'll say is when it comes to your variant...try for yourself...if you can't go back go earlier versions...I gave warning...LG will patch open bump I'm sure...this is more a heads up and just in case..but is what it sounds like...if its possible to go back...then that's great and no need to worry

Vandietuts VDT-V26 Super Lite Lollipop has root.

Thanks for the warning, Rev, but we really have to wait and see. If the lollipop update makes the phone more locked than an iPhone, LG has shot themselves in the foot since they don't serve the developers community. Quite frankly if everything seems to be locked, I hope that LG provides a way to unlock the bootloader.

Can't agree more...they promise a bootloader unlock...but haven't heard news...just rumors

So, i just got me a brand new Z5p

Hello guys and wish you all merry xmas and happy holidays. So as title says a brand new Z5p landed on my hands and its still on Lollipop. Can i have your suggestions on which is the best stock rom update to flash ? i read scary stuff for 7.1.1 updates so your help would be much appreciated. Thanks @ all

Only Resurrection remix !!

Why did you buy an old flagship Z5P was 2015 and we are almost 2018

It was a gift , but I am liking it

I also recently got myself a Z5P. It was cheap so I'm not complaining. I was wondering the same about what's the best custom ROM to use for the time being.
I come from a Z2 on rooted 6.0.1. I'm currently running 7.1.1 on my Z5P and I'd like to root it. It seems like the current method requires an unlocked bootloader but I'm not quite inclined to do so, unless I'm assured I wont lose much or there's a way to backup my TA before rooting the thing.
Thanks in advance for any information you can share with us. I'll keep searching the forums for more information on the subject.
------------
Update: just went up and followed this guide. Yes I had to unlock the bootloader but now I'm happily rooted.

enable USB DEBUGGING and EXTRACT you " D R M - K E Y S "
lets say you unzip the backupTA.zip on desktop
and run the batfile , on each successful attempt, it will paste TA XXX XXX XXX - timestamp.IMG file
you can run that script multiple times and it will extract same file with different timestamp as name ( i ran 3-4 times )
once you done
the rest discussion prevails

Yes I did, not a complete backup because that requires root as far as I know. But anyway, my phone had zero inconveniences when running apps both from Sony and from other developers. The play store shows device status as unofficial though. Not like it matters much to me, really.

Hello everyone! Need some help PLEASE!

I am new here and new to the custom rom scene. I am looking for some help with my new phone.
I bought a new Motorola G7 Optimo (XT1952DL) (Its about all I could afford) It came with Android 9 which is what I want. However, it auto updated itself to Android 10 which I do not want.
Android 10 has made recording phone calls, (which IS legal in my country/state, basically impossible. I need this feature more than any other feature I can think of right now.
I have been told that downgrading back to Android 9 is not possible. I am wondering a couple things and I hope someone here will be kind enough to help Me.
1. Does anyone know of any way (paid app or otherwise) on Android 10 that I can record my calls, non speaker phone, without alerting the other party they are being recorded? (Again I live in a 1 party state which means I dont have to inform the other person I am recording and for obvious reasons I would like them to not know because I feel like this will either make them just lie, hang up, block my calls, or something similar.)
2. If this is no longer possible on Android 10 does anyone know how to downgrade to Android 9 and make it so that my phone will not automatically install Android 10 on its own?
3. If neither is possible for whatever reason, I would be interested in using a custom rom that would allow this feature and possibly add more features. The problem is that I dont know which is the best rom or how to install a custom rom, although I am very good with computers, so a little hand holding would be necessary.
** Not sure if this is allowed but I would be willing to donate a small tip in USD via paypal or something if someone could successfully help Me with this task. Call recording is something I feel should be standard as anyone can just simply lie to You or scam You on the phone and without proof You are kinda screwed.
- Thanks for any help, suggestions, etc. I hope this is a good community to help Me with my problem. - Regards

The device might be downgradable but you would need to unlock the bootloader.
Or there maybe a root option with the bootloader unlocked.

Well ...
Well the software Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant did in fact wipe and reset my phone to "factory" but it kept Android 10 eventhough it shipped with Android 9 so basically it didnt work.
If I loaded my phone with Cynogen (sp) or something similar that is based off Android 9 would that work? If so do You know of a link to a tutorial on installing that or have a recommendation on which to use?
- Thanks!

No lmsa will not downgrade firmware.
Factory reset only wipes user data it doesn't change firmware.

If you want to downgrade firmware you need to use
RSD Lite or fastboot.exe and bootloader will need to be unlocked before downgrade.
