(Q) Exposed Installer.

I read that Exposed Installer has been updated. Does anyone know if it would work with the 5.1.1 Update that Tmo and Metro Stylo got?

Only way to find out is to try. I'll be backing up and trying in a bit.

well it said it installed in twrp, but when i rebooted, it stayed on the lg screen for longer than usual...then it finally went to the metro screen but it just stayed there for a long time so i panicked and pulled the battery.
i was able to restore my backup and i thought i read somewhere that i may need busybox installed...even though i thought busybox got installed when i did the one click root, i went ahead and installed it from the playstore to try again.
again it said it installed in twrp, this time i let it stay on the metro screen even longer but it seemed like it was stuck so i restored a backup...do you think i just need to wait longer? also do i really need busybox installed?
im tempted to restore my 5.02 backup and see what happens if i try to install the 5.0 version...

BusyBox is needed so that some things that require root work correctly like Viper4Android, but it's not needed for everything

I had the same problem with it staying on the carrier screen for 30 minutes before I gave up. Seems it just won't work as it currently stands.

found these instructions in Italian on how to install without recovery pasting them in English (rough google translation):
ith this tutorial we see how to install Xposed Framework on a phone with Android
Lollipop without recovery!
Cost:
Root
Busybox installed on the device (and also installed files busybox, just open the app)
Terminal Emulator installed on the device
Package XposedLollipop taken from this video.
1- Download the package by pressing the link
2- Unzip
3- Put the contents of the root (in the main memory of the phone,
no subfolders) of the device.
4- Install Xposed (the apk is among the file you just put into the device) BUT do not open it
5- Open the terminal emulator and type "su" after which you type: sh / sdcard / installer
and press enter.
6- 1 and press enter.
7- Wait for the procedure, after restart and you Xposed properly installed
PS: procedure performed perfectly on MEIZU MX4 which as you know does not have recovery mod, works on all phones MA may be different from the path where installed so placed in the root of the file and make sure that it's called "sdcard", should have a other name you have to use that! eg sh / card / installer
link to the video with his links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDInZYNrEr8 if this does work then us Boost User's can enjoy it too , but i have no idea if it does work

and if it doesnt work? i wouldnt try anything fancy without having twrp to restore a backup (or at least a kdz)...are you gonna try that method?

[ROOT][TWRP] How to get root access on tablet Onda v919 Air CH DualOS

Essential one to stock firmware: together rooted system get TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Explain in great detail:
First specify the version of the firmware: Settings - About tablet - see on line Build number, for example, ***.20160216.*** (or 20160307, 20160429). In accordance with the version download the attached files.
From the thread Chainfire download TWRP / FlashFire installable ZIP, any choice - Stable, Beta or Latest. Archive ***-SuperSU-***.zip put in any useful folder in tablet.
Tablet is completely off, certainly from Android, simultaneously pressing power button and both volume "+" and "-" to boot your device in DNX Fastboot Mode (relevant notes on-screen will appear). Connect to computer that is already pre-installed the drivers (see attachment).
On the computer, launch the FLASH.bat from the extracted archive with TWRP. Wait until the script completes, devices disconnect.
In the tablet volume key to select "Recovery Mode" and power button to reboot the device in TWRP.
In TWRP to install the archive with superuser: Install - select the file - Swipe to Confirm Flash - Reboot system.
That's all, folks! © Disney
In addition TWRP installs insecure boot.img with screen density to 280 dpi.

Interesting question. I don't see this firmware version in the official and not official sources. The problem isn't TWRP - it's the same everywhere - but in unlocked boot.img. I'm unable to recommend anything, I have no boot.img 20160324.

Please look at the screen shot from my tablet.
i bought it from GearBest.
Can I try all the versions you have uploaded to find out which one will work? Or I will damage my tablet this why?

Yes, do you have Onda CH - cht_cr_mrd_w. Take any set, but remove from it the boot.img, install TWRP and make a backup of the boot.img and here put, please.
I have a feeling that the Chinese are a hundred variations of iron made.

Thank you very much for helping me!
You mean, first to delete the file "boot.img" from folder "rom", then to run "flash.bat" to install "TWRP recovery" only and finally to make a backup of my "boot.img" and upload it here?
Without unlocked "boot.img" I can't make my tablet rooted?

You can try to flash SuperSU without unlocked boot - I havn't to get root access without changing it. But all of a sudden? I followed the path blazed by Teclast and Cube.

I installed TWRP and then booted to recovery. I backed up "boot.img" but then the tablet turned off by its own!
When I tried to turned it on again to Android, it keeps stay to 'Intel" logo for ever!
I don't know what to do! Please help me!
It boots to Windows without problem.
I manage to install the 0531 version using your instructions !
Everything works perfect including the sound!
Now I will try to root my device using your instruction above.
I will let you know... Thank you very much for your help!!!

I manage to root my tablet.
Everything is working fine now!
Thank you very much ViAlexSt! You are a life saver!

Mine has a 20160323 version! I think we are being played with.... Those numbers are a lot of versions!
What should I do? Perhaps the same as perama? I want to do a nandroid backup first, naturally.
Any suggestions?

I don't know whether to read this topic anyone else besides me, but I find it difficult to answer unequivocally. If you are not afraid - try to put the firmware 0531. And then TWRP.

I just wanna root the damn thing...
I already got i2c HID Device data failure once, just 2 days after I bought it.
Had to open the case and fix it, so yes, I am prete much afraid...
Is this 0531 version English f/w with no chinese? So, it just needs rooting?

I don't know what version of firmware you have installed. You can of course try to install the most recent version - 0531, but may lose sound if the modification of iron is not adequate. Look at the serial number on the back cover: if it in the form .....G4V7...... - you can safely install 0531.

Firmware version 0531 international, with pre-installed gapps and no Chinese, but firmware is discussed in another topic Here, only the activation of root access.

I do have a v7 model... So I can proceed I guess. Sorry for the off topic, I just thought I would do a nandroid backup/root first. But installing 0531 from the start somehow seems safer?

G4 or G3 revision? If G4, then any available firmware will do. With G3 harder - there may be issues with wake tablet from sleep.

Any firmware version will not make the tablet a brick. The only question is the presence of bugs: sound, sleep, overheating...
Look at the messages of реrama: he set TWRP with no boot, even made a backup, but without unlocking boot, the tablet doesn't start. He had to flash the version 0531, which, however, fit perfectly under his revision of "iron".

I have G4v7 revison. I guess I am good to go. I don't want any overheating problems, like "Throttling Brightness due to Thermal event" problems I had with Onda V919 Air 3G 64GB Intel Z3735F.
I had themal problems and shutdowns and was forced to return the product...
EDIT: I managed to root it after installing the PERFECT 0531 EN firmware.
The tablet is PERFECT now!
Thanks ViAlexSt!

I always get "failed to get partition boot".
I think there is an error in fstab.
When I manage to run TWRP, it fails to mount /data.
Any ideas?

Hmm, interesting... While no specific ideas. I (and not only) have everything working. What version of firmware? Script when you install TWRP fulfills completely, without any errors? It's possible that not removed the OEM lock. Try to put the checkboxs in "Developers section" in "Settings".

SM-G360V general info, root on latest firmware, xposed framework, viper4android*

I've taken note of the severely limited amount of organized information available for the Verizon variant of the core prime, (see the amalgamation of posts in the main sm-g360v post...) and I'll attempt to provide what information I do have. Currently no recoveries or custom roms have been made publicly available, to my knowledge. This is a Verizon device after all, don't hold much hope towards unlocking the bootloader of this one. Root on latest firmware, setup for xposed framework, and viper4android setup detailed below in respective order.
Root on latest firmware
*Skip to step 7 if already rooted with supersu, data partition not overwritten to my knowledge, proceed with cation
Backup all data before proceeding. Acknowledge these steps will delete all content of your device. Proceeding with the following steps gives the implied understanding I am not responsible for any data on your device. You are responsible for your own data.
1. Setup Odin and d/l the lollipop stock rom here
2. Backup your data then extract the tar.md5 from the rar archive from above then flash it with odin
3. Setup your accounts with the setup wizard when finished if you'd like, then grab the latest version of kingroot. Either android or pc versions work. May need to attempt multiple times.
4. Once rooted with latest kingroot, (5.0.3 at the time of writing) open kingroot, open the main settings from the menu on the top right, press 'Uninstall Kingroot' press continue, ensure 'leave root backup' is enabled in the next dialog, then wait for uninstall
5. Find a kingroot 4.5 apk and install, disable automatic updates in kingroot main settings, then reroot
6. Using either super sume, or a script replace kinguser with supersu
7. Install flashfire, should work properly if using supersu
8. Go here and d/l latest firmware, move tar.md5 file to device, may need external sd due to little internal storage
9. In flashfire, press the addition symbol, select 'flash firmware package,' locate updated tar.md5, select 'modem firmware' and 'Firmware' in addition to pre-selected partitions, then select the check, when prompted, do not split flashing process. Ensure EverRoot is set to inject SuperSU, then flash, wait patiently for device to update.
When finished, check SuperSU for root, if prompted to manually install, flash first stock and try again
Xposed Framework
1. Get the appropriate zip (ARM for sm-g360v, do not use the ARM64) from here, no issues apparent between versions, latest will most likely work (87.1 at the time of writing, no issues seem thus far)
2. Flash as zip with Flashfire, (See above for root) do not mount /system with flashfire, installer fails.
3. Install this Xposed Framework app when reboot finished (should rebuild system apps)
4. Finished
Viper4Android
1. Get V4A apk, do not install drivers yet
2. Install busybox
3. Get this and this, flash both with flashfire
4. Disable/delete SoudAlive to prevent conflicts
5. Install driver/reboot
6. Finished *I personally installed the 2.5 version, though the above method did work with a little bit of toying with the above

I'm assuming that the Odin tar file is an older firmware version for the device?

The first tar is lollipop with a security patch from 2015 for kingroot, the second tar that gets flashed through flashfire can be any of the three available, I believe the 2017 build being latest

WARNING:
DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT flash the updated tar.md5!! I flashed it to my device and I lost all calling and texting functionality, PLUS a very outdated ROM.

Use the latest build, the 2017 build is latest, update your modem partitions when you update. Following the steps PROPERLY and using the proper update package will result in a functional device. Complain to Verizon about the outdated nature of the firmware available, and to yourself about your own mistakes, I have used this procedure for my own device and have not had a single issue.

I used the 30.10.2016 firmware (G360VVRU3CPJ1) and that's what gave me the issues. Now that I actually observe, I can see a 2017 firmware that I was actually using before I went back and rooted... I will test it soon.

How long should the final update take? I'm up to 30 mins now on the red Verizon screen (blue light strobing).

Final update meaning what? An update package flashed via FlashFire? Or something else?

Step 9 in the op root process. I did everything up to that point, downloaded latest update, followed the flashfire steps and got 2 hours of the red Verizon screen. Any ideas?

I'm starting over. I screwed up something else anyhow trying to utilize the sd card for apps.

Okay, I started over from the beginning. I just can't get Flashfire to flash the updated firmware. It sticks on the red "Verizon" screen. I've let it sit for 3 hours and it is genuinely stuck. Help!

I never attempted to update my software. Too risky. Stick with the G360VVRU3BOK2 baseband, there is virtually no difference between that and the new 2017 firmware.

Yeah, I've about come to the same conclusion. The only thing I don't like is the nagging OTA Update Notification. I've tried all these and I'm still getting the notify.

For future reference, OTAs are stored in /cache. If you feel like re-enabling the update app, you can let the update download and see if you can flash it with FlashFire. Never tried it myself, but FlashFire does come with an OTA update flasher that attempts to sustain root.

I almost tried that but I couldn't catch it with the OTA downloaded. I may fiddle with it later. Just glad to be rooted for now. Thanks again!

So I've done everything right, and all I've been wanting to install is Xposed. But I've done everything correct up to this point. But I put the framework zip into Flashfire, everything goes fine, until I'm at the Verizon red screen. It just hangs there for hours. Any suggestions?

Sorry to put this query here. Even i haven't got any place to right it down. I also have a same problem. Rear camera not working. Bought this phone specially for camera specifications. When will be the updates release to make the second rear camera work. Even 8 MP Nokia camera takes better picture than this 16 MP. And there are many bugs. Many apps crashes. And on YouTube I have seen many videos which shows many camera app showing 4k video recording option, but I think that was after update and I still haven't received it.i show that video 1 month back

Solved. I have rooted the doogee mix 2, installed twrp and magisk without any problem. I followed the post

If you had read the post that I posted, you would see that marco.fortuna, has posted the link to download TWRP Recovery Doogee MIx2.img and if that function correctly. It also explains how to install it.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UxPcIm4KmZAKtOjDhqPiYF3cRDyYT9Sf/view
I recommend you read some basic adb and fastboot guide. There are also many posts that explain how to install masgisk and configure it.

Thank you. This is partially no one's fault to the extent there isnt's a Doogee MIX 2 forum. having rooted most major manufacturer phones.

So no one else is getting TWRP-loops, like boot loops, only back to TWRP?? Rooted kernel also doesn't seemed loadable from in TWRP or fastboot, though assume not needed for magisk compatible system.

Is supersu also working?

I would go to ROMs and Kernels subforum for a better discussion, but I haven't been able to do an uninstall of magical to install supersu successfully.

Hi Rudolpht, i also tested without Magisk, only SuperSu.zip flashed in recovery ( without Error), but it's not installed.. but doesn't matter because with Magisk i stay great.

If there is a trick to getting SP flash to work, that would be great. I copied the directory about 3 times to get away from the Chinese characters, which helped me ultimately to try moving the img files to sdrom and TWRP install, but an easy way to use the tool would be great.

Thanks. At your convenience with many thanks!
I was thinking of TWRP backing up and then going to stock and taking update then TWRP and data restore. Splash would certainly make it easier.

thank you too. I did a backup from apps+data with titanium backup, without any problems

Hi!
I'm running into bootloop after an oem unlock and TWRP flash.
Now, the phone starts in TWRP continuously, volume up + power doesn't work anymore.
Has someone a solution for that please?
Thanks.

Xperfix

Hi Friends
My wife by mistake deleted important files. Tried Dr. Fone and others but need to root before doing deepscan to recover. I spend hours and but error all the time at 80% because no root access.
I have no choice but to unlock bootloader without backing up TA neither I know how to do it.
Due to late night no time to manually sideloads, but bought Xperfix to do the job to TWRP/ROOT/DRM
So far twrp installed successfully but not rooted nor installed magisk . Let me pull the usb at 20% and wait twrp to reload after 100% nothing done. Maybe twrp not mounted system properly?
I am also worry now after seeing others saying that unlocking bootloader will effect the camera functions?
But as per xperfix 3.0 it says the problem been solved.
How is this Xperfix does it really work ?

try flashing magisk 16 in recovery and see if you get root.

When you bought Xperiafix you also bought support from the developer. Go back to sToRm//'s website and raise a support ticket.
If you include the txt logs found in c:\xperiafix that would be helpful
I have used his tool on my XZ1 compact, so I know it works, but getting the right drivers installed on your Windows machine is a real minefield. Windows chooses the wrong drivers by default when you connect the phone with TWRP running. This sounds like your problem to me. You have to manually add them with the phone connected TWRP on.
Also, you can't just install the drivers in Windows 10 (Windows doesn't tell you it failed to install the drivers, you just can't connect.), you have to go into safe mode and install the drivers with 'driver signing disabled',
There is a lot of helpful advice in the original Xperiafix thread, along with the links to drivers required.
Edit: you have to pull the USB at 20%, go into TWRP yourself (from powered off, hold volume down & power, wait until phone starts, keep volume down for a few more seconds) and swipe to make system partion writeable, then reconnect phone and Xperiafix will do the rest.

appreciate your reply , I have tried many times reflashing with xperifix when twrp reach 20% to restart it wont restart auto I need follow on screen instructions to do and mounted the system untic the and finished to 100% but again no magis and no drm . I copied the magis file from xperifix folder and flashed directly now have rooted already. Only thing why I have been using xperfix because of camera issue and is green. Support no reply yet since yesterday.
Can I manually flash the drm and fix the camera issue ? Please guide me my wife is so sad about this incident.

Can you post the logs from the C:\Xperiafix folder?
Once you have reached the 20% step and gone into TWRP to enable system file write and plug the phone back in, Xperiafix continues if it does nothing then the drivers are wrong.
You will know when the drivers are right as the phone restarts itself once it's been reconnected to Xperiafix.
Read this thread on the original app, everything is explained and the drivers linked

Explanation from sToRm//, help is on the way!

I got it fixed by reinstalling and use WIN10 . Now all set. Appreciate to all my friends on XDA for assisting me.
I want to now after this will I be still getting OTA from Sony can update or need manually update?
How is the battery life after using xperfix?

Android pay will work if you follow Xperiafix. Magisk will install and if you select 'magisk hide' in the settings you will be able to use android pay. It's ok, you don't have to pretend it's your wife's phone

Hi Mate
Thats what we did but failed with Android Pay at counter.
Also bank applications refuse to install because phone was rooted.
Do banking applications works on rooted phone?

Have you tried to run Safteynet after you have installed Magisk? (on the Magisk start page)
Do you have Xposed installed?
There is no way to hide Xposed and it will fail Safteynet
I have several banking apps that work and one that refuses to install

Nope I did not install xposed.
Here is the problem after clicked start safety net the status all are failed.
ctsProfile:false
basicintegrity:false
Magisk version v.16.0
Installed ver 16.3

Got is solved by hiding safety check passed.
But still the citibank app refused to run due to rooted phone.
Anyone tried this app if working?
Regarding android pay do I need to run safety net check each time before using it?

Now we have received notifications of OTA Updates I want update her phone . Do I need to follow exactly as per below link ?
How about settings and data will that remain? Because I use TWRP on my other phones to flash roms which is fast and safe.
Why we dont have same solution for Sony but need use newflasher tools?
