Update Stock from 4.3 to 4.4 - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
still got my z1c on Android 4.3, if I install an official update now, will i get android 4.4 or android 5.1?
I don't really want to install 5.1 unless I'd really need it and so far I only had problems with Onedrive on Android 4.3
And I want to keep the Lockscreen Widgets, are they still present on Sony Android on 4.4??
btw If I unlock the bootloader i'll get this DRM **** problem with the camera right?
Or is it possible to root the stock firmware?
Thanks

Which ROM you are talking about ??... Once you root your device and Install any ROM you will not get any Official Updates From Samsung since your device status will be custom....But if you install this ROM based on 4.4 KK you will get the Tast of original KitKat 4.4 taste which Nexus and Other device have Not fully pure but almost near to it ....
I dont think were gonna get update kitkat if you use stock rom

[Q] LG G3 Lollipop Root - Help

Hey guys at xda-developers!

If there is any simple rooting method for LG Android L update.
I want to keep all my data btw.
Thanks. Ask any questions
Im new to the android world and xda so i dont know too much about ANDROID but i know a good amount
Thanks!
You can't root on lollipop, no root available as of yet. If you want root you have to downgrade to kitkat with the flashtool.
Use the LG Flash Tool to downgrade to kitkat (with a 10r build). There are a plethora of guides on how to do this.
Then you root, and install a custom ROM to get back to Lollipop. Cyanogenmod 12 works amazingly well on my D851. It's smoother than the stock ROM. However, you might be able to do the CloudyG3 ROM, which is essentially just what you have now with added features. Assuming that you got the Lollipop update a little while back, your phone sounds compatible. However, if you don't use the QuickCircle Case, I would highly suggest Cyanogenmod 12. I used the case, but made that small sacrifice for this amazing ROM.
Hope I helped!

Stock Lollipop-->4.4.4 based ROM [possible?]

Hello guys!
I own an HTC ONE M8 [non rooted- just stock] and I have updated my device to Lollipop 5.0.1 via OTA. Unfortunately, since Xposed is currently working under beta conditions, I want to downgrade to 4.4.4 to use the "full power" of my device So my plan is to:
1. root and unlock the bootloader of my HTC [currently on stock Lollipop 5.0.1]
2. Download and flash a ROM based on KitKat 4.4.4
3. Install Xposed and all the goodies it supports [Amplify, Greenify etc]
Is my plan possible?
Thanks in advance!!
Yes ...
That's not really downgrade, it just install 4.4.4 custom ROM, so your plan should work

So, a downgrade would be returning to stock Sense 4.4.4, right? I am not interested in that.
I just want to flash a custom rom, based on 4.4.4. If that is possible with the steps I plan to follow, then OK
Yes
If I want to return to stock 4.4.4 from Lollipop, do I still need to root the phone? The phone worked perfectly well before the Lollipop update, I really regret updating, I see no benefits whatsoever and lots of problems.

Yes. You either have to root, or gain S-Off and run a 4.4.4 RUU.
