Along these, you can also install a mod called MultiROM. It allows you to install more than one ROM on your phone. So you have you current ROM (primary) and a second and third ROM (secondary). When you install more than one, you have the option to choose which one to boot when the phone reboots.
This mod has been available on some of the most important devices and now it has landed to the Sony Xperia ZL.
The Xperia ZL is Xperia Z’s sibling with simular hardware and design. While it hasn’t received the attention that the Xperia Z’ did, it has managed to enjoy some of the most popular mods like MultiROM.

You can boot a ROM using a USB OTG cable. If you have a Nandroid backup, you can restore it as a secondary ROM. You can even install CyanogenMod 12 Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs so you get to enjoy 4.4 KitKat and Lollipop at the same time.
