I flashed this rom from 4.3. Everything is fine except the unstable wireless and terrible power drain (wakelock terminator worked only one day for me).
I did a backup with twrp before flash to this rom.
Can I restore my old 4.3 backup with twrp? My bootloader is locked.
Thanks!

Its almost 8 pm and still 75% left. Battery calibration seem to have take effect
What app or method did you use for the batery calibration?

FA
App is: Battery Calibration
I dowloaded Battery Calibration by NéMA, by now it's giving good results! Thank you!!
Regards
Your welcome. Try boot manager (Xposed installer module) also to prevent unwanted apps to run at startup, and run in background, helps too

Did you flash back to 423 completely including Kernel? If your MIUI greatslon mod 4.2.2 (not familiar with) was using another older Kernel from Sony it might generate your bootloop although flashing the stripped FTF should give you the latest Kernel.
Not sure why you are getting bootloops...files have been used by plenty of people without issues. There is a new one click root method apparently here:

Just flash the original FTF build 230 and give a One Click Root a go. Way easier than all this flashing
For those who wants to flash 4.4.4 on their Xperia ZL C6506, flashing the upgrade from C6503 works like a sharm.

... to create this stock image with root and recovery included.2My method flashing this rom:
1. Download rom.zip and nut latest recovery.
2. Put the rom.zip and recovery.zip in the SD card. Delete the dual recovery folder also in the SD card. (ensure you have the stripped ftf also, this is new kernel for .230 rom)
3. Boot into recovery. I'm using philz touch recovery (press up volume key)
4. Flash the recovery.zip then wipe everything and flash rom.zip.
5. Once rom flash completed. Turn off your phone (select advance power option -> turn off)
6. Then open flashtool, and enter flash mode (hold down volume key then connect the usb cable to the computer)
7. Flash the stripped ftf (I uncheck the TA)
8. Once completed, unplug the cable and reboot your device.
This method work flawlessly with my 6502 device.

If you already flashed 4.4.2 then you do not have root and therefore cannot flash these. You will need to flash back to an older 4.2.2 so you can root and then install recovery. Once you have recovery the steps are:
1 - upload the zip to your SDCard and flash it via recovery
2 - After flash is successful, turn off your phone without rebooting.
3 - Flash the stripped FTF file via FlashTool and boot your phone.
That's it2

Just replace the files in the last steps with the file from this thread.
EDIT: Meant this for person Crash was responding to. I know Crash knows how to do this
