I recently purchased a factory unlocked Galaxy S6, and I decided to go ahead and install Xposed Framework (this is after I flashed XtreStoLite Deodexed). I installed XtreStoLite correctly, and I also installed TWRP.
After I went to install the Xposed Framework, I got stuck in a bootloop. I believe that I may have installed an incorrect version of it, although I'm not sure. I'd just like to reset the phone to its defaults - I did not have much saved on it to begin with since I decided to go ahead and mess with it encase of this happening. I unfortunately forgot to back up, since I thought that installing Xposed would be as easy as XSL. I'm able to provide any more information that anyone needs; I'd just like to get the phone working again.
I have already went ahead and loaded into TWRP and wiped the Dalvik, Cache, and I also formatted my data. I'm not sure what to do now, because it's still bootlooping. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Since you still have TWRP, you can flash the xposed uninstaller zip. You may find it here Xposed official thread

I've been trying to upgrade to a LiquidSmooth KitKat (3.0 Nightly Beta) ROM but it's been failing. So I figured it's Sunday, it's early, let me try again. Let's get a baseline:
Last usable (as of earlier this morning) ROM: LS 2.7 (4.2.2)
TWRP 2.6.3.0
SuperSU installed
So I *WAS* unlocked and rooted.... now... I don't know what the heck is wrong.
Saturday I downloaded "EZ Unlock 1.2" and installed it; Unlock Status was "UNKNOWN" and even after clicking the UNLOCK button it still showed "UNKNOWN"
So, this morning, I made sure I had the new ROM (LS KitKat 3.0 Nightly Beta 2) on my external SD card, booted in to TWRP, and updated to the latest TWRP (2.6.3.1). I then cleaned out some old ROM backups and made a new one (using compression) which was successful. Rebooted to system, all looked & worked normally, so I rebooted to TWRP Recovery, did a Factory Reset + system (so cache, dalvik, data, & system) and that went fine. Tried to install the new ROM... FAILED. So I rebooted to Recovery and tried to restore the backup I had just made, and it seemed to succeed, but when the phone rebooted, it only got to where it reads "Samsung Galaxy S III" and got no further. I let it sit like that for 10 minutes, then pulled the battery. I booted back in to Recovery and tried restoring a backup made 2 days ago (that I have previously restored from successfully) and that gave a "successful" result, but same thing after rebooting: stuck at where it reads "Samsung Galaxy S III" and would go no further.
I am in DOWNLOAD mode currently and want to get back to the point of being able to restore my backup from 2 days ago. I'll lose text messages basically, and that's fine. I have downloaded ODIN 3.07 but it's been about a year since I last tinkered with it.
Can someone help please? I either get this phone working in the next few hours, or I have to go buy something else off craigslist... or full retail... and I'd really just prefer to get this phone working again.
If I need to "start from ground zero" and redo the boot unlock and root it, so be it. Basically, how do I unbrick my S3?

I am currently backing up my external SD card (all pics & backups go to ExtSDCard) before doing any formatting. I was going to try that next, but am expecting it to fail. What I've found on XDA so far has mostly for those that took an OTA but that is not my case. I am severely pressed for time (use my phone for work as well as personal) and am planning for "worst case scenario" so, assuming your suggestion fails, do I get the original ROM, flash that back using ODIN, then re-do the boot unlock & root?

I was hoping for a bit more than "good luck" actually since it's been a good year since my last trip with Odin... but thanks.

I have high confidence that you will have this issue resolved shortly. It's not your fault, lately, some custom roms did not behave accordingly...
Hello First post here so hopefully in the right place! I've got a nexus 5, UK model purchased around January time. I had rooted, running stock with SuperSU installed and a few apps installed with xposed mod.
It was running perfectly fine, until a few days back where I was required to reboot, it then got stuck at the Google screen and wouldn't go past that, I turned the phone off for a while and eventually could get into it.. Great, until it happened again.. I spoke to a friend who said perhaps it was the xposed which was causing it, so I flashed back to factory, ran it for a while and it was fine, so went back to root and tested it, was stable so I reinstalled xposed.. It then got stuck in the bootloop again, so flashed to factory certain that it was xposed causing issues. I'm now running factory, however the phone will still get stuck in bootloop but will also randomly reboot itself now.. Has anyone experienced this? After scanning the forums I can't find anything so hopefully someone can help!! My boot loader is still unlocked.
Thank you, Jordan.

Are you able to flash a custom recovery? like TWRP, PHILZ, CWM? try it.
if successful, flash a custom Rom. just to discard the possibility of emmc failure.

I am able to flash a custom recovery and so forth, so wouldn't think it to be emmc failure.

It doesn't really exonerates emmc from being bad yet. now, wipe and flash a Rom, a stock/aosp based one

I have already flashed the stock recovery and ROM back to the device
Hi, first post here so please mind my ignorance. I recently rooted my Sprint HTC One m7 and installed the latest TWRP recovery. Since I found out that I have no /system write permissions and I wanted to use apps like the Xposed framework, I decided to flash a custom kernel which disabled the protections, because I didn't feel the need to get a new ROM. So, I am running the stock Sense 6 ROM on 4.4.2 with the stock kernel 3.4.10-gf22c859 and S-On. I tried to flash flar2's ElementalX 14.12 for Sprint. I created a nandroid backup and cleared my cache and dalvik. Then I flashed the kernel, and the install went fine. It said it was successful, and once again I cleared the cache and dalvik. I rebooted my device, and it started up, updating all the apps. and I rebooted the device again like the installer had said to. However, when I tried using the new features like logo2menu nothing happened. I checked what my kernel was in the settings, and it had not changed. The only thing that did change on my phone was the fact that all of my paid apps said they had not been installed, and when I did try to install them, I would get an error saying my SD card did not give them permission to do so (or something similar to that, I don't remember the exact message). I thought that it was a problem with the kernel, so I restored to the nandroid, and flashed the Kangaroo kernel the same way I did with ElementalX. Once again, the set up process went fine. When I booted my device, I was greeted with the same results as before. Apps updated, kernel didn't change, paid apps gone. I am really confused with what is going on. I feel like I am missing something obvious (This is my first time installing a kernel on an Android device). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks is advance.
I flashed Moar a couple months ago. Also added custom recovery. Just yesterday the infamous "warning camera failed" came on. I want to take my phone to sprint so I need to flash it back to stock. Please help!
Google search. Problem solved.

Before you unroot, and take your device back to Sprint. Have you tried booting into Recovery, and clearing caches ? Did you do a clean install of MOAR ?
Also, just an FYI. Your post should've been made in Q/A [emoji6].

Yes I did clear cache, I was just a bit confused since I installed philz recovery I don't know if I need to uninstall that's or just unroot?
Yes I did a clean install MoAr was working fine up until a couple days ago when my camera stopped working
Had you installed any other tweaks, mods, or Xposed Modules prior to the issue ? Using Philz Recovery should have nothing to do with the camera issue. I would suggest force stopping the camera, and clear data in Applications manager. Then immediately boot into recovery , clear caches, and reboot. After the device fully boots, check to see if the camera is working correctly. My next step after that would be a fresh install ( Full wipe ) . Then let it settle in for a few hours without installing any apps. Check the camera to see if it's operating correctly. If it is install your apps one at a time checking the camera afterward to make sure that nothing interferes with the operation of the camera.
The last resort if the issue just does not get resolved would be to ODIN back to Stock. If the issue persists, then take the device in for service.
Moved to Q&A.

Idid a full wipe....then did a full wipe and installed the new version of MOAR and I am still having the same problem *sigh*
how would I go back to stock do I need to upload a different recovery, the changes I've made are philz and Moar, or do I just simply unroot and put stock firmware?
Hello everyone well I just messed up big time with my phone, last night i was in a hurry to find a way to get a bypass for a app that didn't support root.
So I saw there was a way to do that with a module in xposed. I then precided to install the xposed apk and update xposed within the app. Then the trouble startet, when I rebooted my phone up it was stuck in a boot loop. I tried going in to recovery mode to factory reset the phone and delete the cache. I have been looking for a way to fix this all day but since I was to lazy to install twrp when I first rooted my phone I can't seem to find a way to fix it. I tried to flash a stock firmware using odin but I only get stuck with the the text saying NAND Write start!!.
Any suggestions on how I can fix it or is the phone dead?
Thanks for all help in advanse
Installing xposed Framework within the App doesn't work. This Option only works for non-Samsung device since Samsung made a lot of changes to ART. You have to flash the Framework manually in twrp.
