Xposed Sony latest firmware bootloop

Sony latest firmware bootloop

Open itandy opened this issue 6 years ago • 15 comments

I just upgraded my Xperia X Compact (Oreo) from previous version (34.4.A.2.19, Feb patch) to (34.4.A.2.32, March patch). But once I enable Xposed my phone is unable to finish a reboot. Other Xperia users (X Compact and X with March firmware) are having similar problem so it seems to be an compatibility issue between Xposed and our latest ROM. Previous firmware (34.4.A.2.19) works completely fine. Just this minor upgrade caused the problem.

Same as this issue.

I thought #325 is caused by another package so is a different issue. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The module is just a trigger, you may still get this issue with/out modules enabled.

Yes, I got this issue with no modules at all. Since #325 is a Oreo 8.1 issue, does that mean our latest Sony firmware (still 8.0) brings something from 8.1 which causes the same issue with Xposed?

Thanks @wanam for jumping in here. Yes, this sounds a lot like the general issue with the new approach which I'm already aware of. This affects Oreo in general, and would even affect Nougat.

Thanks @rovo89! Just curious, why would only this new Sony firmware be affected by this issue and not the previous one? This is the third firmware for Oreo for my device. I thought this minor upgrade is only a security patch together with some minor bug fixes.

This doesn't even need to be a code change. It depends on what machine code exactly is generated from it. Under certain circumstances, it doesn't work well with Xposed's way of invalidating callers of hooked methods. See https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/325#issuecomment-367012394 for an attempt to explain this complex situation in few words.

Thanks again! Seems like we're just in bad luck this time. Anyway, we'll wait for your solution.
