Hi everyone,
If I root using Chainfires method and all I do is install Xposed Framework can I still receive Sprint updates by just removing Xposed? I am not going to install Roms as Xposed has everything I need. Thanks in advance.
If you're not running the stock recovery it won't let you take any updates. Which is a good thing because taking an ota with a custom recovery can potentially brick your phone.

Hello everyone, im new to android. Ive jailbroken all my iphones but cant seem to find a way of just rooting. Im on official ota 4.1.1 ive found tons of instructions on rooting and custom roms but it seems that I need to install/flach a custom rom. I just want to root snd use my stock firmware. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks

Use this guide and flash the no-wipe version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436. It is this file:http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234350. This will flash a pre-rooted version of the JB OTA and keep all your settings, data and apps untouched. You can stay just stock rooted at that point, or you can proceed to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery if you want to. Or you can use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439. It is a little more involved and can be more prone to errors for newer users.
Thank you, thats what im looking for.

If its rooted you can run xposed on it. All you need is root to run xposed settings/modules. However I'd stick with xposed modules here on xda versus random websites

Ok installed it xposed that is can I assume the.modules in its download list are safe?

Most are yes, if you notice issues with your device just remove the module. Some do cause problems

I'm a newbie in rooting, so my phone is rooted using Kingroot (switched to SuperSU) and its running Lollipop 5.0.2. I want to install Xposed, and I know Xposed is not compatible with ART, and I don't think my Xperia is running ART. Can anybody tell me how to install Xposed Framework with no custom recovery?

I would absolutely not recommend installing Xposed without having a custom recovery.
You should certainly have a nandroid backup of your stock setup in case things go sour.
Which can happen very easily with Xposed.

Can I install recovery (TWRP) using the Device Control app? I think it has the option to install custom recoveries for you.

I'm currently on stock, rooted 6.0 32.1.A.1.185 and received an update on my phone yesterday to update to 6.0.1.
I assume if I proceed with the update I will lose my root, is this true? I froze the Updater so I could get the notification to go away. What's the most straight forward way to keep root and get the update. I haven't seen anyone post a stock rooted rom with the update to flash over what I currently have.
Thanks
Yes, this won't work.
Use a rooted tft or custom Rom.
Xpower v3.0 is great.

Cool, thanks. Anyone knows if the installer wipes data? I will probably just do a fresh install but I might not if I don't have to.
Yes, backup to SD card
Do a factory reset and fresh install.

I'm running rooted LP stock with TWRP recovery. My phone downloaded the MM system update. Is it safe to use the automated MM install? I'm not worried about retaining root or custom recovery capabilities.
Thanks
It won't install with the custom recovery. You may as well just install the very latest ROM KDZ with LG UP, and then you'll be all up to date. I believe it's posted in one of the update threads

You will lose root if you use the latest kdz right?
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
You do lose root and will be completely stock. I haven't read enough of the other threads to know if the latest is actually rootable yet or not.... I've seen conflicting reports. It does appear that you will. hard brick if you try to roll back tho! It's a one way road
