XPOSED For Z2 Lollipop 5.0.2 (Maybe Z3/Z3c) (Temporary) topic


Ok so the main reason for Xposed not working on Xperia Z2/Z3/Z3c Lollipop 5.0.2 was that it lacks recovery and Xposed for lollipop only installs via recovery, and manual pushing resolting in bootloop. Well a kinda found a solution for this. Its actualy simple. Here we go:
WARNING: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP YOU MIGHT NEED TO REFLASH
Requirements:

Z2/Z3/Z3c Rooted Lollipop 5.0.2 Stock Rom with unlocked bootloader

You need to download
1. Nut's Adv Stock Kernel with recoveryes (?) from here http://nut.xperia-files.com/ (Cick te XZDualRecovery Kernel tab in the right side of the site/ Click "Yes i have an unlocked bootloader / Select your model in the drop down menu (in this case its the Z2 D6503) / Select your firmware (in this case the 23.1.A.0.690 lollipop fw from all the way down in the drop down menu) / Click D6503_23.1.A.0.690_XZDRKernel2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip and download.

2. Any 4.4.4 Kernel with recovery as boot.img

3. Flashtool

4. Xposed Lollipop Files from HERE Namely the xposed-arm-20150308.zip for flashing and XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk for running the modules.

And here we go:
1. After you download Nut's adv kernel and xposed zip file put them in internal memory

2. Install xposed for lollpop apk

3. First open Flash tool select Fastboot mode (without selecting anything yet), connect your phone (holding volume up) to your pc entering fastboot mode (while connected your phone led should be blue). Now in flash tool select kernel to flash and choose your 4.4.4 boot.img (kitkat kernel with actual working recovery) and flash.

4. After flashing the 4.4.4 Kernel reboot your device continuasly pressing the volme up button while rebooting (especialy when the sony logo appears) thus entering a 4.4.4 kitkat recovery.

5. After entering the recovery select flash zip from internal memory card, select the xposed zip file, flash and do not reboot, browse agan and search for nut's adv kernel select it and flash again but do not reboot device, WIPE ALL CHACHE'S especialy Dalvik/ART after that reboot

6. Reboot and wait util the apps update.

7. After that your phone will start as normal. Entering the Xposed App will show that it needs to be flashed via recovery. Select soft reboot. Selecting it resolts in a bootloop, dont panic

8. After entering the bootloop, power off your phone , flash 4.4.4 kitkat kernel with working recovery , after that enter the recovery, flash nut's adv kernel again, WIPE Cahe again (normal an dalvik) reboot , wait for the apps to optimize and woala. You have Xposed working.

NOTE.
1. Entering the xposed app my show that it needs to install via recovery, ignore that, the modules work. I'll upload a video for proof of a module working on 5.0.2 Lollipop
2. This is a temporary workaround, i dont know how much it will hold until a normal fix show's up
