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,
I just rooted my D80020k g2 and looks like I can't properly install a custom recovery through AutoRec, as it appears the custom recovery doesn't support my current version. Is it possible to still use Xframes to modify my stock rom safely (i.e. without a great risk of bricking my phone)?
If you are talking about xposed framework then it can be used to modify stock Rom safely as long as the modules you install are compatible with your device

Make sure you are following directions, Autorec worked fine on my phone with 20k.

Before the installation of the ota of android 5.0 I have to unistall xposed because it doesn't work with ART, right?

You'll have to uninstall xposed for any ota anyway regardless of lollipop

And flash stock recovery. And hopefully nothing else was altered in the system that could affect the Ota.
Personally, I'd backup my apps and just flash stock 4.4.4. As soon as I hear the Ota is out that is.
Tho really, I always wait a couple days and flash it with fastboot, clean. ?
Ok, so I have to unistall Xposed...
I rooted the device with Towelroot, so there isn't particular problems with the system? Or towelroot makes something different to system files unlike root?

Although why OTA anyway? If you're rooted with a custom recovery, you can just flash a pre-rooted L zip which will be available before the OTA Anyway

Haha exactly.
I have not my PC since last month, and probably I will have it in the first half of December, however I have not a custom recovery, only root with towelroot because, like I said, I have no PC

So use flashify to install twrp recovery and then you will have a way to flash. Doing any phone/tablet modding is highly dangerous if you don't have a computer available to you in case something messes up...

I just grab the files from google and flash my phone clean with fastboot. I'll Add the recovery and root a few days later (if available). I like my phone the way it is and don't like to change just for OTA.
Ok, I'll probably use flashify, thanks everybody

Am I correct in assuming that xposed does not work under lollipop because of art?
Can lollipop work using dalvik?
Correct. And no.

That's a problem for me and might make me not accept the upgrade. I really like xposed and xgravity and my nexus 5 is fast enough.
I'm sure it won't be long til xposed will be updated.

I hope you're right but it may not be an easy task because of the different ways dalvik and art handle things.
Then we'll need to rely on custom roms for customizing.. Until xposed does work.

Kind of like we have done for the last X years? Before xposed ever existed?

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 trying to restore the ability to do OTA updates after I've rooted my device. I;ve tried unrooting but that doesn't solve the problem.
How does the OS check that you have rooted the device in the past? I don't have access to a stock rom (Yet) to check if a firmware flash might restore everything to normal.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist.
You need to be on stock ROM and stock recovery. Also preferably unrooted and without any system modifications like xposed and such. That's all you need to have to be able to get OTAs.

Thanks for the reply
I am on stock rom, I also think that i'm on a stock recovery, since I never flashed the recovery. I used Kingo root to root the device, dont know if that flashed a custom recovery. I'm also not aware of any modifications.

The question was actually answered in a previous thread, no?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/hisense-u800-infinity-h6-restore-ota-t3129478
Anyway, XDA Doesn't have a dedicated forum for that device, so either try and boot to recovery and see if it's stock or custom (custom probably is either CWM or TWRP or Philz), or try asking the same thing over at the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Thank you.
