XPOSED FOR XPERIA M4 AQUA- STOCK 5.0

Hello guys, i updated the guide, for install xposed on stock 5.0 rooted firmware.
Much thanks to @husam666 and anyone who made twrp,xposed and all other...

PLEASE NOTE: AFTER THIS STOCK CAMERA WILL NOT WORK. USE GOOGLE CAMERA

Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader & root (CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW TO DO IT...)
Xposed apk file:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440
Xposed zip file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3543411&d=1447616600


The guide will not show how to unlock bootloader and root phone, only xposed install procedure.
Step 1:

Install xposed apk file in the phone, then run adb tools on pc.

Step 2:

Reboot phone into recovery TWRP. (press vol- button at power, when phone vibrate, press it for much time). Screen will be black, not worry, its all ok.

Step 3:
type (in adb) these 2 commands:

adb devices

(If your device is here, you can continue.)
and

adb shell

Step 3:
A prompt like ~ # will appear, type these commands :

mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system  /system
mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/userdata /data
mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/cache /cache

Step 4:
Now type:

twrp sideload

Step 5:
Type

adb sideload <path_to_zip>

(without <> and with the real directory of the zip.)

Step 6:
When done, type that:

adb reboot

ALTERNATIVE BEST METHOD: Install new TWRP touch recovery with working display, put zip into sd internal and flash. At the end of flash wipe dalvik cache /cache.

The phone will reboot and you have xposed installed!.


Attention: XDA, Me and all other members not take responsability for damaged phones or other problems.

I can't wait to know how to install Xposed! THANKS AGAIN!

Guide updated!

Could you explain better the point 5: <path_to_zip> ?

It could be useful, so we are sure not to miss anything.

The path to the zip file of xposed, can be something like c:\downloads\xposed-v74-sdk21-arm64.zip

Also I would like to note that you should do this after you flashed the zip so that you don't get low storage space error

For those with "Low Space" after sideloading xposed, do as follow:

adb shell
twrp wipe cache 
twrp wipe dalvik
reboot

It will take long to boot.
It stuck after 10 min, simple press the tiny button next to SD Card and the power on again.

error: protocol fault (no status)

Argh...always this message when I try to sideload

Edit : If sideload crashes for you, after mounting, instead of sideload, type

twrp install /data/media/0/<yourxposedfile.zip>

and wait for it.

After the "Done processing script file", plug out your cable and press power and vol+ until it vibrates 3 times.

Press power to boot

Pay attention to copy the xposed zip file in internal memory and not in your external SD Card

If you can add the part I wrote for those who have sideloading problem, it can be useful

I lost my camera, too. Too lazy to figure out what caused it, so I'm reflashing /system

There's a zip file that uninstalls it, not sure if you'll get your camera back

 

[S7relok]

I didn't test the camera. I lost apps in SD card.
I flashed an Uninstaller and it gone back to normal

This moded camera from z3 work, http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ps/mod-xperia-camera-unlocked-t3071161/page49
Only problems, will show 20mpx,but will work at 13mpx in auto mode. And camera not work too. Is a starting.... until a xposed version that work. You need have the xposed 20 superior auto module.
I will look for a old version of xposed.

 

[HeliosXenon]

I flashed the original firmware (26.1.B.2.129) and I have my camera back.
