For those who don’t already know, Xposed framework is big for those in the rooting Android scene. With Xposed framework, we are able to make system changes to the Android operating system without a custom ROM installed. The only thing you need to get that happening is root access. We’ve already shown you how to root most of the Sony Xperia devices which should have you comfortably on your way to installing Xposed. You can check our guide for how to install Xposed on Android 5.0 Lollipop.

As with anything that gives us control of the internal system, tinkering with the settings doesn’t come without its risks. Many people are finding themselves in the unfortunate situation of getting the Xposed framework stuck in a boot loop on the Sony Xperia Z5, Z4 and Z3 smartphones. The following guide shows you how to fix Xposed boot loop issues on the said devices.

A third-party developer associated with the XDA Developers forum has provided an unofficial tool that will fix that boot loop issues for you. The Xposed boot loop solution is a simple one: just download the Xposed fix and flash it to your device. Now reboot and it should be done. Here are the steps in order:
