HOW TO FIX THE XPOSED BOOTLOOP ISSUE FOR SONY XPERIA SMARTPHONES RUNNING ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP

1. The guide is written assuming you have root access already since you cannot install Xposed without root first.

2. You want to follow a rooting method that gives you the XZDualRecovery recovery. That’s probably most of you already since it’s really popular among Xperia users. However, if you don’t have it you need to get that first and then come back.

3. Now download the Xposed Sonyfix v2.1 file to the desktop of your Windows PC.

4. Transfer that file over to the internal storage SD card of your device.

5. Boot the Xperia device of your choice into the recovery mode.

6. Navigate to the “install” option inside your custom recovery and upload the Sonyfix file you transferred from the desktop to the internal storage of your Xperia device.

7. Flash that file and then head back to the main recovery men and select to reboot the system.

Now your device will reboot and the problem is solved.
