Xposed Status Update for J700T

In searching around for the best (and safest -- recoverable) method for flashing Xposed on an already rooted J700T, I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info. Use FlashFire. Don't. Burn the 32-bit Xposed. No, use the 64! (huh, doesn't the J700T run a 32 bit 6.0.1?) Use this Xposed image. No! Use this one. Have this image available in case something goes wrong and you need to get out of boot loop through recovery. No, that won't work, use this one. And so on.
Could somebody please summarize where we stand on installing Xposed in a stock ROM, rooted J700T, as of today, in terms of best practices? Thanks!

I asked around before to the ones who were using Xposed and got no response either. That was weeks ago. I was going to post what they were using so others will have that information.
Yes the ROM is 32 (dual 32 is what the claim is) but the kernel is built using arm64. Go figure.
I also looked into a magisk Xposed setup so Android pay and Pokemon go would work.
If you haven't got an answer or figured it out yet, I will wipe this phone and start from scratch and post a guide on what and how to install by Saturday.

I was thinking more like a clear cut guide so there will a specific thread to look at instead of combing through a ROM/recovery thread looking for Xposed.
Thank you @mario1634 for helping out.

Somebody also gives a link to the thread of the modified xposed to work on Samsung phones and there is a link to download the xposed zip and uninstalled zips. I'm using xda tabs and it's like the 6 page if that help but I can try to send it to you

Magisk systemless xposed is probably the best way at the moment to have root and xposed.
Little chance of bricking and totally reversible plus with added benefits.

That it is but I have had previous issues with magisk on other devices where my normal root apps not see me as root. I don't use xposed but if the people want it, I will help in getting the info they need.
As far as having android pay and other useful features of systemless (which supersu is now) root is more important for which I extend my middle finger to Niantic.

This your Xposed to flash through twrp.
Save to external SD card then flash from recovery. May take a few minutes to boot.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424962808
This is your Xposed installer apk. Save to external SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440
Flash Xposed zip in recovery (twrp) first.
Then after you have booted up, install Xposed installer apk (must go to settings and allow unknown sources).
All modules and framework downloads are at your own risk. There are a lot of tweaks that only work with certain devices and certain Roms. Do your homework and research anything that interests you in Xposed.
I personally don't use Xposed so what modules and tweaks are best is not in my knowledge base right now.
All information came from this site
https://devs-lab.com/download-install-xposed-for-samsung-devices.html
There is an uninstaller on that page in case you feel that Xposed is not for you.

I personally have magisk and systemless xposed installed perfectly on my system. Easiest way to do this is to go to the official xda magisk thread and install the manager and then install magisk. then install xposed via the magisk manager. make sure you download the right xposed manager app which you can find in the official thread as well. so far so good and i am running this on a debloated stock samsung rom.

Basically, because of Samsung new ART runtime, official xposed flash dont work. You have to use an unofficial mod to xposed it.
One of them is the custom-build-by-wanam that @OriginalShinken1 linked above.
P.S: Worked on my J700H stock 6.0.1

I personally use systemless xposed on my j7 and have had no issues. i do not use it for all that much customization but the few modules that i do use it for work great.

kingRoot App is "Going Nowhere"

This evening I installed the KingRoot app on my phone and ran it to try and root my phone. The first attempt failed. As I understood from reading the official website that it sometimes takes several attempts, I was not discouraged and attempted a second time.
However for over 90 minutes now, the progress indicator has been stuck on 33%. Should I continue waiting? Is it safe to quit out of the app and reboot my phone?
Thanks kind people!

Just to let anyone know who is reading this and either thinking of replying or who has the same problem. Mr Ak kindly replied to me via another thread to let me know it was safe to quit the app. I'm pleased to say that his advice was correct.

I would never root with kingroot. It is proprietary and its source is unknown. Unless you're OK with your phone becoming compromised by Chinese hackers, I would install a proven open source superuser like PHH's superuser here on xda. Just give it a quick Google search and all you have to do is flash the zip file in recovery to root your ROM and then install the PHH superuser app on fdroid or play store.

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay responding as I only just saw your reply today. KingRoot was recommended to me because I wanted to root without wiping any data, but I did already read about how it installs other stuff, so was already a bit concerned about that, but wrongly or rightly I decided to risk it. I will definitely look towards using a proven open source superuser such as PHH's when I get my next phone.
As for rooting my OPO, I'm assuming that rooting with PHH's superuser app will wipe my data - is that correct? (I tried googling and also searching here and on oneplus.net but couldn't find an answer to that)
Many Thanks ThunderThighs!

Rooting your phone should never wipe your data. The only thing that wipes your data is unlocking the bootloader, if you haven't done that yet. The only thing the phh superuser zip file touches is the boot.IMG on the /system partition. Nothing on your /data partition.
Edit: no problem! Glad to help point anyone in the right direction

dont use kingroot unless you want to use it for some tinkering without any critical user data.
plus i think its as you said "going nowhere" or at least taking you nowhere.
it is because it is designed to use some CPU bugs to obtain root, there simply is no known one for the OPOs CPU (as far as I am informed).

Thanks again ThunderThighs! I am definitely going to check out the PHH superuser app.
And thanks to you, Elchmartin, for the further insight!

[ROOT][MAGISK] For Asus ZenPad 10 3s[P027]

Just goot this device rooted! Just gonna test the script a few times so there isent any bugs and i will upload it!
EDIT: Systemless Root methods like Magisk resets after root(I Think SuperSu works if u tweak dm-verity in the kernel). But using system-root both breaks saftynet and is boring
So im gonna try to edit the boot img to work with magisk or SuperSU even if the bootloader is locked.
If none of theese things works there is a way to Re-root after each reboot but its ofc much easyer just to edit the boot.img or unlock the BL
EDIT 2: I will also try to reverse engineer the bootloader to try to find a weak point where we can unlock it, for easyer rooting and creating custom roms
EDIT 3: Also forgot to mention xposed works because you dont "need" root. If anyone want xposed just reply in the thread and il upload the script "as is" even though it resets after each reboot, but root works perfect have tested multiple apps.
And as i said before, before i release the root method publicly i want to check if its the BL who "resets" the kernel like on some HTC devices or if its a simple dm-verity problem , if it is the dm-verity thing its easy to fix.
More info:
Flashing kernel,system,recovery works because the only partitions that are protected are the BL and FRP partions but not for long
So far:
Magisk: Works
Bootloader: Locked
Saftynet: Passes

Comming in an hour! Just gotta check the updatescript for errors before posting :)

j wait for your script to root my Z500 m thanks to you.

Wow, finally there's a method to root. I own the device since august and I really want to get it rooted due to all bloatware I want to uninstall and to install 3rd party apps.:good:

super thanks to you me too and thanks to you I could root the tablet with all s is unnecessary thank you for your work:good::good::good:

Cant wait
Wow.... time is ticking to bring root to the P027
I can't wait for an update on this.
There must be another way to get a rooted ASUS P027. I tried much but don't have any success. I think that there is a way to push some files manually to /data/local/tmp. Setting right permissions using adb. Finally executing a root-shell-script from one of many should do the rest. Problem is not to get the files inside the system, you have to do it again after each reboot.
I'm a bit nervous to modify bootloaders and flash them on the go with no oem support. If some support for this device comes available from ASUS it should be a lot easyer to do.
I cant upload photo's till i'm no longer seem like a robot. I also got some kind of root on my P027. only for a moment. After reboot it is gone.

I can't wait for that!

Will it come out soon..... so excited ^_^

Ok guy's where do we stand on root as of 5pm Wednesday 10.04.2017 ??
I bought the ASUS Zenpad 3S 10 [P027] off Amazon on Saturday on a flash sale for $265, knowing it didn't have root, and that's a shame because it's a beautiful & buttery smooth tablet.
Today, as I was pondering boxing it up for a return, I figured I'd look for myself once more for the hell-of-it, AND BOOM! I found this thread!
So where are we guys? I'll test it for ya or whatever! So friggin' pumped ROOT has been established! Dare I say -Vanilla Oreo ROM with onscreen softkeys??? YEAH!

Really looking forward to this! I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but just waiting for the script I'm very happy to have stumbled upon this thread, can't wait to have root on this tablet!!

Fortunately we will get to see the script. I own the P027 since auust 17. A very good hardware. But without root its only worth half. So, me too is awaiting the script but so far I guess we still have to wait. Til now, no root app works (iRoot, Kingo, e.g.) Very sad because I think that once we rooted it and get rid of all the OEM bloatware, this tab may rocks a lot more.

Can you go ahead and upload the script for those of us brave enough to try it? Thank you for all your hard work!

I got root and xposed. But I don't have a way to get it in that device
At my next post will I upload a photo or link of my own (semi) rooted P027. The Magic of rooting a device which is unsupported is far away from easy as flashing chainfire's zips or something possible using Odin or what. Most likely if there was a custom recovery for the P027 root would be easy because of all possibilities you have.
I've tried a lot of other ways to get in to try modify something in that locked system. It is hard to get there without losing patients! I also lose social networks I belong to. Even if days counts 48 hour instead of 24, root wasn't there with the success I had hope to. Sometimes only after manually redirecting some files with adb and manually setting right permissions to every file. It becomes possible to get accessing "su" in terminal app. Only sometimes, after each modifying something, you're device needs to reboot for applying that modification. At that point you lose everything before you can use it.
If someone can post latest boot.img I will try to patch it with Magisk. If that is possible it will get easier to activate systemless xposed. A few weeks ago on note 8 launch day... It took at least 1 hell of a day before root came available on xda. Also twrp and custom roms are available.
Hope soon to make it happening for real.

hi I would buy this tablet but wanted to understand root situation. can you run the root on this device? you can install Rom?

need a special custom ROM

hello,
i need a suggestion for a ROM that should have the following properties:
root should be switchable (on/off) and hidden
saftynet should be OK
security Patchlevel less March 2017
These things are needed to play pokemonGo, yes i know this time and effort for a game but i like it.
so help is very appreciated

If you root via Magisk it can hide root and pass safetynet so long as you're not using Xposed, which you should be able to do on any ROM of choice
If you need Xposed you can use the Magisk systemless module, and turn it off and on as required

Build it yourself? The people on xda aren't your rom-maker-slaves. Figure out yourself.

@000Nick: i dont be searching for slaves only for People which are smart enough to help others. (i'm not to be able to build my own)
@Beanvee7: i had many problems with a superman rom and magisk. result was a bootloop, recover to stock and 2 days of work and cold sweat.
That's because i ask for help and recommendation for a ROM that fulfilled my expectations.
in the past i am using a CM13_by_temasek for my S3 and it work like a charm, now i am searching the same for my S7 but it seems to be much harder to find something that works the same easy way.

I use superman with magisk, so can't offer reasons why it would bootloop

@Beanvee7: maybe my own foolishness.
1. i install cfautoroot with ODIN
2. i install TWRP manager from playstore and installed TWRP
3. i installed Superman ROM 1.9.1
till then all worked fine
then i tried to switch off root in Superuser. in Superuser it shows me "deactivated" but every App could become root.
next try was to activate magisk hide but it doesnt hide root. i tested with saftynet check and in any Android test app (come with superman) shows me root too
next i checked the unload "superuser module" (only unload not delete) in magisk manager, this removes root but saftynet test is still not OK
next i tried to activate the load of the superuser module but thats not possible.
after that, i reboot to recovery and now i got errors and run into a loop shows me something about FRP Lock
nothing else worked than going to download mode and flashing a stock Rom back.
and all of that, including the restore of all my apps and configure many things that could not restored (twice) busy me for two days.
possibly i selected the wrong options in aroma installer but i have no idea what i made wrong and why it doesnt work for me (hide root and let saftynet be OK)
but i do not want to try it again if i am not sure to do it for a last time because it is to much time i have to spend for that.
and every time i loose a little bit of my apps/gamescores and so on.

Why should someone do this for you? No one owes you a custom ROM, and you're not offering anything in return. Figure out how to get this setup yourself, or a pay a capable dev to do this for you.

The way you worded it suggests that you need a rom custom mode for you. You said you need a "special rom" which would be the incorrect thing to say if there are other time like it.

i revised it in my first post and hope it is better now.

Root majisk vs supersu, does supersu root 8.1 or not?

Hi all. Have come across a few threads which are indicating that 8.1 can be rooted by flashing supersu via OTG USB. Then the external are others who say it's not possible.
Does anyone know of circumstances where they or someone they've read about has successfully flashed supersu in this manner (OTG USB)?

I highly recommend using magisk as it has an easy universal installer and comes w much more features than SuperSU along with a module repo to add functionality to your device

SuperSU did a great job, but now it's kinda dead. Magisk has a lot more support and updates, also is more easy to manage/update. I really recommend Magisk.

I am able to easily get majisk to install but it won't work with a majority of the app I frequently used such as wifi-tetherAP, ti backup, and few others. The apps will install and root permissions are granted but apps don't work as they should.
Why do they not play nice w majisk?

They work fine for me. Do you also have the magisk manager app to actually allow the su prompts cuz I know a few times when I flashed magisk the app never showed up and I had to manually install it

You cannot root 8.1 with supersu. You have to use magisk. And Magisk works great.
Unfortunately chainfire has retired from the scene, at least for now, and there are obviously tensions with the new Chinese owners of supersu. Supersu is not being updated and the new owners are nowhere near as responsive to users as chainfire was. He's a big loss. And magisk has its own advantages. It's systemless, works reliable and great with 8.1 and is frequently updated. I would switch to magisk. Its the future when rooting your phone.

Thanks for the in depth explanation regarding chain fire, supersu, and the Chinese. Such a shame they got the privilege to assume such a legendary tool for Android and they don't have the decency to support it as it should be. Alas, all great things must come to an end. Looks like it's time to7 move along and embrace the future, as you said, and get on board w majisk.
My only issue w majisk is that several of my favorite apps, the most needed one being AP-tether w root, does not work properly w majisk. It will start but other devices can not "see" the network. I've made sure that it's not hidden.
At a loss to understand why majisk can't get this app to work like supersu did... Anyone have any thoughts?

Have you tried a clean install? Start all over with latest Feb factory image, full wipe, Inc data and then flashing twrp, magisk etc? Can't think of anything else. Magisk doesn't pass safety net so Google pay doesn't work, but give it time. Magisk is your only root option anyway on 8.1 whether you like it or not.
