[Sony Cross-Device General] --jenana--:
I am calm, and I'm sorry if I offended you, but I don't know anymore what some people in this thread expect. If you're messing around with Lollipop and alpha-software that's only been tested for a few minutes to a few weeks, the result will be nothing more or less than crap, bootloops and going back to one or another back-up. And in the end you'll have a smile on your face when Mionica shouts something like "Eureka" and your phone will be on for a day and you'll be able to run some Xposed-modules and win some batterytime with Greenify and stuff like that.

I'm not smarter than you, I'm just a nurse and an android-newbie, but I can tell you, read all these posts, or at least the posts by ondrejvaroscak and mionica, and in the end (maybe after reading the stuff which is too complicated again and again and again) and you'll get it. But apart from that, the only thing you have to do is flash the zip.

I can tell you even more. If you want to learn a bit more about android, flash 3.0b, save your logs, and than flash the workaround again. The logs give you interesting and thorough inside in what happens with android when you boot. And all of us are willing to explain whatever about what happens during that process. But seriously, basics like flashing a zip and/or a backup, that's beyond the scope of this workaround.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
This should be carved to the stone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mionica:
Guys, here's my take on this.

I actually spent a couple of hours to date on writing and updating post #123 to have all the information that could ever be needed. The way is see it, there's three classes of people who, despite that, are clueless:

those who have trouble with English;

those who can't be bothered to actually read;

those who think that post is TLDR, so they'd rather they didn't.

People in the first category should probably use Google Translate or similar; as for those in categories 2 and 3, they deserve to be ignored, with category #3 deserving being bashed.

The amount of work I put in this was huge, with post #123 (plus child posts with individual versions' changelogs) being a large part of it; I find category #2 disrespectful (to say the least), and category #3 outright offensive.

However. As tempting as this might be, swearing at them is probably not the right thing to do (since that's essentially feeding the troll). May I suggest we simply quietly ignore such people in the future?

:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Maybe guys you should make yourselves clear what it means to "flash" a zip in recovery. There is no mystery going on in your phones. It is not like real flashing ROM in Flashtool when ROM images are pushed into your phone. Flashing zip file in recovery means simply executing a script or couple of scripts inside the zip file in recovery shell. These scripts are usually removing something and copying something else or editing properties in some files. Open the zips and study a bit the files inside.

One more question which zip should I add to prf creator Sony fix 3.0b or xposed leak

Thanks in advance

And u both r really genius proud to be an Xperia owner
[Sony Cross-Device General] infinitylook:
Tested the workaround zip [MENTION=1103233]mionica[/MENTION] created. So far no bootloops or restarts but what I'm getting is that the Android ui (maybe home, not sure which) hangs up and crashes whenever I play intensive games like DEADtrigger2. So the app still runs good but when I try to exit it its all black, essentially nothing else to go since home key back and recent key won't do anything. I can still scroll down the notification bar but up to that only. This will lead me to hard reset my phone (basically still resetting though not random) will still observe more.
[Sony Cross-Device General] pvnsai73:

while what you wrote is true it also applies to the people "begging" for help. I gladly provide help but I refuse to serve those who don't even bother to learn. I am finished with this topic.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
wrong thread. try Amplify developer. I realised that Amplify doesn't work for now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] infinitylook:
If you don't have a working recovery for LP then no chance for xposed installation. it can only be installed through recovery. I think though nut has a recovery. Google "nut xzdualrecovery" and find the site that says nut-xperiafiles or something like that. Find XZdual recovery link on the site then find T2Ultra installer zip. You should have root access prior that. Just execute the installer. After that come back here and let's talk installing xposed. For now find a way to have a recovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] pvnsai73:
Actually there is dual recovery fr our phne till on kitkat but on lollipop its nt working so can I add this on prf creator and which one to add

Xposed leak workaround or Sony fix 3.0b
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
stop spamming! there is enough tutorials on xposed on xda. Also in this thread the information is provided maybe five times.

no need to redesign op or keep all downloads in one place. this is development thread.

to prfc use one that works for you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
we have warned users. this is workaround, not solution. if you needed to use intensive apps or games don't use Xposed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
if you do prfc then add xzdr 2.8.12 from NUT and you will have recovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] pvnsai73:
Bro plz dont angry and sry If I did anything wrong Ive already said on lollipop dual recovery is not working.. So can I add this on prf creator and which one to add Xposed leak workaround or Sony fix 3.0b

Thanks in advance

Plzzz help me and sry if Iam spamming bcoz Iam newbie
[Sony Cross-Device General] infinitylook:
1st get a working recovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] pvnsai73:
Thanks

Ur gng to say that this will not work on prf creator if I add it

Thnk u all
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
ok now I got it. sorry but without recovery or init.d support this fix does not work. so please stop spamming and wait for developers to fix t2 recovery or xposed or both. this is more than trust desperation : >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60388017

[Sony Cross-Device General] mionica:
No need to send anything (but they're in /tmp, as I said on post #123)

I'm not surprised. May I suggest you flashed xposed-leak_workaround.zip from post #123 instead (btw, you might want to read that post).

No idea

No, it means some .apks, or folder permissions, are severely messed up on your system. Try this in terminal or adb:

su
export PATH=/system/xbin:$PATH
mount -o remount,rw /system
find /system/app -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /system/app -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +
find /system/priv-app -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /system/priv-app -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +
find /data/app -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /data/app -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +
mount -o remount,ro /system

Ok, tell us what exactly did you do, and in which order.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
I wonder howto flash this now and wanna know the exactly steps, i aint a noob but i am just curious, because i flashed an earlier version of the 1st release of this and soft bricked my Z2 on lollipop, please dont get nuts/grazy or being rude, i just wanna know which files i need to flash to get Xposed installer to work etc, i very appriciate it because i need my phone for my work so i wanna avoid a brick or bootloop.

Hi ondrejvaroscak, i've been following the thread since the beginning but didn't have time to post or help with the debug sorry :(

On .690 i NEVER EVER managed to get xposed to work no matter what i tried (instant bootloop lol). then i decided to update to .726 and i noticed your xposed fix (one of the first versions, don't remember exactly which one).

I started fresh downgrading to 4.4.2 wiping everything, then rooted it and installed nut's recovery.

Updated to pre-rooted .726 , then deodexed the rom, then i flashed your fix and then xposed.

For my surprise xposed worked and it was the first time i could get it to boot in LP :)

i've been updating your sony fix everytime a new one was released and the only time i noticed problem was with 2.4 fix when i did have some random reboots.

I updated today to the xposed-leak_workaround.zip (i manually deleted the scripts from the init.d directory before flashing cause i did have both the 98* and 99* scripts there) and updated xposed to the new alpha too.

So far so good, not a single reboot/crash/bootloop and i have a bunch of modules and apps installed (screenshots attached if anyone cares)

IMHO the fix is great (could never run xposed without it), all the info needed is on the thread and i could follow it perfectly...

Many thanks to ondrejvaroscak and mionica for finding the problem, developing and debugging the workaround and still finding time to help everyone, you guys are great dev's thanks again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mionica:
do this if you're having issues

In TWRP, after flashing any of my .zip's, please mount /system, and using the file manager, go to /system/etc/init.d; if you find there any file named like 98_revert_flimit* or 99_revert_flimit*, delete them immediately!

My installers were supposed to get rid of those, but I keep getting reports that they somehow survive - so please see to it. Because if those files somehow manage to survive, they

will

cause freezes, reboots, etc. I can't for the life of me figure why they survive for some, despite the updater script having

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "-f", "/system/etc/init.d/98_revert_flimit_after_boot");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "-f", "/system/etc/init.d/99_revert_flimit_after_boot");

in it; fortunately, I'm pretty sure I can fix it even without understanding the root cause, in this case :p

I've also updated post #123 to say this, btw.

I plan for tomorrow:

a version of leak_workaround that will have the debugging features of sonyfix cooked in it (zygote process tree dump, and logcat, from the time the boot completes), thus deprecating sonyfix altogether;

a new version of uninstall that would also remove any trace of leak_workaround or sonyfix;

a new .zip, diagnostics, that would create a system status log on the external sdcard, which I'll expect people to attach when reporting issues; thanks to TWRP, you'll be able to pull that file over USB once it's generated.
[Sony Cross-Device General] infinitylook:
Yes it won't
[Sony Cross-Device General] hassanmahmood:
Without sounding like a total n00b, is there any way at all you can simplify this? Or put it in layman's terms? I don't really understand what I need to do.

I have flashed the original Xposed zip from recovery and installed alpha 3, but I can only get one module to work at a time without it going into bootloop and having to use the terminal to disable Xposed.

What do I need to do to make Xposed work? It's frustrated me ALL day long - I've literally flashed the ROM about eleven times today, and I could not count how many times I've disabled Xposed through the terminal.

Please help me out here if possible - I know that I'm not as code savvy as most people on XDA, but I do try to do my part. I'd really appreciate the assistance.

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
well, while accepting the fact that Xposed is alpha (yes not even beta) there is fair chance that you can not make it running AT ALL. It all depends on modules you try to load and applications you have installed, it's number and memory greediness.

And yet again, crying for help doesn't help without providing for any info at all!
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
B I N G O.

it is a requirement for this fix to work to have functional recovery with init.d support installed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] hassanmahmood:
I have GravityBox for Lollipop running, but I know I can get more running; earlier I was having a different problem - because I was using TWRP to flash the zip, it was ruining my ability to browse/use the internet properly; I was getting SSL connection errors for all https:// sites. I narrowed it down to the Xposed framework installation via TWRP, and rectified it by flashing via Philz. But whilst the TWRP flashing was breaking my browsing, I was able to install multiple modules that I am now unable to install concurrently. Some of those are BootManager, Less frequent notifications, Native Clip Board and HandleExternalStorage.

Ultimately I'm just trying to understand the instructions in the workaround that has been posted - I'm willing to try whatever it takes.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sekac55:
Some apps FC, google play some apps give the error 504,
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
try different approach to isolate your problems because of installing Xposed itself works differently for you in Philz and. In TWRP ruining your SSL, it's out of scope of this fix. first resolve this issue before heading any further. try one of heavily debloated roms or debloating script to remove a much apps as possible. you should get below 300 reported by pm list. then flash xposed wipe dalvik and cache install apk and couple of modules reported as running on LP. unless you can manage that there is no other help. this fix doesn't do anything else that allows boot of Xposed. it can't solve other issues in your rom.

the correct approach is :

1. make sure your rom is vanilla prerooted with recovery stock rom without any modifications of any kind. SuperSU version must be 2.46 or higher and XZDR 2.8.12 or higher.

2. update system completely using Play and What's new app.

3. Flash xposed_leak fix OR sony_fox_3.0b (in case you want logs to debug), flash xposed zip, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

4. normall reboot again

5. install xposed APK and reboot

6. install module, activate and reboot

7. install module, activate and reboot

....

if any module causes problem, remove it from /data/app
[Sony Cross-Device General] hassanmahmood:
Thanks a lot! I really, really appreciate the guide.

I didn't wipe my dalvik and cache after flashing the framework, so that hopefully in of itself might make a difference.

The version of SuperSU that is installed with the ROM's flashable zip is 2.48 - is that a problem? If so I'm sure I can google to get the right apk?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
A very clear guide is needed for other people with steps howto install etc to avoid bootloops in the OP or post #123, i know it already but for new people i mean, i hope those steps will be added also soon and not only what todo or changelogs ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] mercuriox85:

Thank mionica

then

xposed-leak_workaround

boot to the system successfully , then install the APK file , then restart the phone , the bootloop come again

i have LP 5.0.2

mine is custom prerooted from stock with SU
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
vanilla means no other customization, original Sony, only with SuperSU and recovery.

same thing , after the boot , i did reboot and the system go for bootloop
[Sony Cross-Device General] zomer331:
SuperSU higher than 2.46 soo your is Okey.

Why you are not using newest version of Xposed?

20150426?

And read instruction on #1 post once again it's updated.

Guys put much effort to explain everything and explaining is almost every 2 pages. ;)

and maybe just try everything from begging?

-full format /clean phone before installing new rom

-install new room / reboot

-go to recovery/install sonyfix 3.0b and Xposed 20150426

-and reboot

-install Xposed app

-install module one by one with soft-reboot between every module

And just don't install those which doesn't work.

That's all.
[Sony Cross-Device General] new_world_2006:
i tried them both with no luck :(

is there any possible that there is any old module installed on the device that make this bootloop ? i did wipe the system but i just afraid that maybe this due to an old module
[Sony Cross-Device General] kris555777:
not exactly, yesterday i successfully install exposed on prerooted with last dualrecovery lollipop with some modified apk (SystemUi.apk,Incall.apk, and framework -res.apk) no bootloop, no reboots, only I made restart my z2 have updating android 1 by 1.

many thanks for u and mionica for awesome work
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
It is to help people to isolate, whether the problems lies in Xposed itself, the ROM, ayn app, or just between chair and keyboard.

I advise to start with clean ROM and when everything runs smoothly, try Xposed. When everything runs modify ROM, apps etc. Doing everything at once leads only to problems.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
It can be. This thread is helping to run Xposed framework. Unfortunately we cant help that much with modules. If module fails you should be able to see it in Xposed log.
