[GUIDE][HUAWEI P8][15-4-2016] Xposed Working On Lollipop & Marshmallow

Good day everyone, this is a guide on how to enable Xposed on EMUI 3.1 (Working tested by me using the deodex method) and EMUI 4.0 (Working tested by me also and confirmed working by @Blackball,). - (Update using the deodex method 10-4-2016)
First of all the original guide for making this work on Huawei roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765. Ty @mfbcool for your guide and help. Please follow his instructions to the letter for making it work on our device.
- ([15-4-2016] New Instructions on the original thread no need to deodex the rom files, a working xposed zip has been developed for Huawei devices just flash it in twrp and do the build.prop modifications before you flash the zip for your version of rom. Already tested by me)
So my role in this is to highlight all the tips needed for making it work on our device, and the issues i faced when doing it. ([15-4-2016] The original thread is self explanatory, all of the tips here are already mentioned there this thread was created when we needed to deodex the rom files. So forgive me if i am not adding much.)
Notes
- I think a lot of the members were installing the wrong xposed files for our device we need the ARM-64 SoC files for our device because it's using the Kirin 930.
The Tips:
Lollipop:
1. The xposed files needed for your device are under the heading of: on Lollipop 5.0.x is: Xposed for EMUI 3.1 Android 5.0. (If you are on Lollipop 5.1.1 is: Xposed for EMUI 3.1 Android 5.1.1, if Marshmallow: Xposed for EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765
2. Make sure that after you install the xposed apk , you go to "build.prop" in /system using any file explorer with root and edit the line "ro.config.hwtheme=1" to "ro.config.hwtheme=0" and then save the file with the defualt permissions or you will get a bootloop. why editing the build.prop is important because without changing this the framework will not be active, you will get a red message saying framework not active. The only way to activate it is by editing this line or in the xposed app go to Settings if you enable "disabled resources hooks" doing that and then restarting will activate the framework but whatever module that uses resources will not work. So the only way working without affecting the modules is editing the build.prop file.
Marshmallow:
1. Make sure to add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0 and ro.config.hw_theme=0 in build.prop in order for xposed to work and make sure to save the file with the defualt permissions or you will get a bootloop.
If you follow the original guide exactly and the tips you should have no issues making Xposed work.
P.S: By the way first boot may take a while (15+ mins), So don't be afraid.
Special thanks again to @mfbcool for his guide & help, and @pudup for directing me to the guide.

I cant install xposed. When i install it, after reboot i get black screen with only one button of the navigation bar (i can access the shutdown menu from lock key, and i can access and the notification pannel, but nothing more). This is solved when i install the uninstall file.
My phone is already rooted. I firstly installed apk, and then installed xposed via twrp. I've tried to wipe the Dalvik but it doesnt solved.
My p8 is gra-L09, lollipop. Used this files: XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk, xposed-v80-sdk21-arm64.zip, xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip.
What AM i doing wrong?

Did you deodex the rom? you have to deodex in order for xposed to work for Huawei devices, which version of Lollipop are you using?.

I flashed today the C636B320 Marshmallow firmware, and then i deodexed the rom per instructions to make xposed work on Marshmallow.
First attempt i failed because i didn't wait enough, you see the screen will get stuck on Huawei boot animation without any sign that anything is happening(no app update notification card like in Lollipop) for like a 20+ mins. Then voilà the phone booted normally. Also exposed is working fine no issues, make sure to flash xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64.zip instead of the latest one v81 which doesn't seem to work for me.

Magisk manager work in systemless. It's work that same as supersu in systemless. We have official topic in xda how its work.
If you want you can create zip pack to flash and you dont need modded rom that same as xposed.
If you want you can use xposed but then you cant pass safetynet because your rom its modded and you can use some apps, games and android pay.

Hi Chudy
Thanks for all your hard work.
Will there be any problems if i add back google play and gmail and youtube.
Should the rom function as normal?
Thank you for your time

Google Play and Youtube it's integrade with this rom. I delete Gmail because you can download from gp. It's install in data/app but not system. For me more space in system it's beter because rom work faster becuse he dont have somemore app to start and work in background.
If you want added you can do it manual if you know how

Xposed v78 official you can download from official topic

thanks for answering. I continue with error 7 when installing any rom. I think error 7 is given after using the Xposed Mobile Faker module. I have TWRP 3.0.2-0 recovery. Before using the module xpoded mobile faker could install any rom. Change to recovery stock eh install B571 full update.app with error at 99%. I think that the module xposed mobile faker corrupt some binary or scrip, may be possible?.
I can only install TWRP recovery backup. But no zip nor update.app with recovery stock

[Huawei P9 Nougat info/guides]

So I've been getting lots of different questions about how to get this and that on android 7.0 nougat so to make it easier for everyone to find ill create this thread.
1. TWRP
Is twrp available for N? If so where can I find it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/twrp-3-0-2-0-n-t3506947
2. ROOT
Oh cool now I have twrp. So how can I root?
Download phh r275 version and flash
Download and install Material phh apk: Release post
Now you should be good to go. If any issues feel free to ask here or in phh official thread.
3. BUSYBOX
User friendly zip flash this and the below steps isn't needed!
Flashable zip (1.25.1) : https://mega.nz/#!zlRm3S4B!9rAtfi0wI8oFu6xjJITgF0dRwV21UPsxvZQZzMo6VXk
This one is a bit tricky. If you run root. But
Download jrummy's busybox on Gplay.
Select installation folder to /system/xbin or if u don't want to touch system folder use /sbin if available. U can replace jrummy''s busybox with stericsson version if you like it better. But you must have installed jrummys version first if you're booted into android. Else stericsson busybox might have issues installing. Or u can use zips which contains busybox Google busybox flashable.
4. VIPER
More user friendly if using this zip the below steps should only need se Linux mode changer!
Flashable zip: https://mega.nz/#!f8wlzIrB!vVCAv-xqWB8lOrcQTgIyFL0WS7MFsE9iFb08E1YKV2Y
Is quite a mess to get working. You need se Linux mode set to permissive. Flash guitarheroes version of v4a (2.5.0.5) once flashed you need to replace the audio effects in /vendor/etc/audio_effects else you'll get I/O driver installation failed. Copy the .so files to /system/lib and /system/lib64 and set correct permission. If you have wrong busybox message. Try different versions of busybox but I use latest from stericsson and it works great. Hope u get it working.
Oh and don't forget to allow sd storage access or you'll get driver I/O error as well. And se Linux changed to permissive use se Linux mode changer for it. It works great with phh!
5. MAGISK
As it seems to be now. Magisk won't work due to loop issues on boot. And mount seems to have losetup fail 1 on mounting a .img while booted.
6. Xposed
Not yet available. Be patient rovo needs time we can wait for him
7. comes soon.
More stuff.

how does your audio_effects.conf look like? i used one for aosp from "ARISE+Sound+Systems+Deuteronomy+2.3.3.zip" and got it working but don`t know if this is the right one for our device (huawei phones).

It doesn't matter if it's aosp. Since it is for v4a it will work. As long as the audio effects works it doesn't matter.
Also I just finished my hopefully new nougat viper4android zip (i made my own for M with material designed version for my s5 neo) which worked fine until now.
Now it extract all files to its locations even to /vendor partition which all zips I used previously never had. I'll also update busybox zip which previous available is 1.24.2 which I'll bump up to 1.25.1.
I'll also going to upload my stuff to android file host. But that will be later

How did you installed ARISE in Nougat?
I've been trying all day and I'll always end with an I/O or Busybox error. I tried a lot of things, like changing /vendor/etc/audio_effect.conf to audio_effect.conf.bak or installing Busybox into system/bin, but none of them seems to work for me.

Do you know, is your Viper4Android installer compatible with the following rooting/Busybox configuration:
- L09 c432/b378
- TWRP 3.1.0-0
- SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip
- Rummy"s BusyBox (installed to /system/xbin)
as described by @hakaz and @Atarii in the post #102 and follow-ups:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71588837&postcount=102
Also, should SELinux really be switched to Permissive mode for V4A to work on P9 with Nougat?
Thanks

Having Magisk, can you now also install Xposed?
PS: Please provide links to your resources and threads.
Btw, you have P9 Lite - does the method for Magisk apply also to (regular) P9 (single SIM)?

it workes because we have a modded boot.img created by @HassanMirza01, ask him what he did so as to he will do the same for p9 boot.img(or anyone else)
install selinux and set it to permissive, after that install magisk app via playstore and click on autoinstall
no xposed isnt working because there is no xposed for Nougat.

Is this using a Magisk.img in /data folder?
As said magisk can be made working since we had supersu working by chain I still doubt it uses a loop

Trying to Root phone using SuperSu - need help.

Hi.
This is my first post, I hope i'm in the correct forum.
I have a friend whom I requested to Root, Flash TWRP and Install LineagOS and GAAP on my OnePlus One phone.
He successfully flashed TWRP and installed LineagOS & GAAP but could not root my OnePlus One using SuperSu. He mentioned permission issue trying to root.
He went back to his country, so I am stuck trying to root my phone.
I would like to root my LineagOS (formally OnePlus One) using SuperSU.
I have downloaded/copied the latest SuperSu zip file into the Phone Sd/Download folder.
I went into custom recovery (TWRP).
Click on the Install button and verified I can see my SuperSu zip file.
Since this is my first time performing a phone root, I did not click SuperSu zip to install, until some experts can assist. me.
Just a few (Q's).
Questions:
a) Should I run any preliminary steps prior to clicking install SuperSu.zip?
b) Since I have LineagOS, GAAP apps already installed, will they be wiped after rooting SuperSu. If (Yes), any software available to backup/restore LineagOS & GAAP prior to the root process?
c) My friend mention “Permission problems with OPO”. Are there some options to open OPO and allow rooting SuperSu?
BTW: I do have the adb & fastboot installed if I need to enter some commands to get this done.
Thanks.
Tom.

a) No.
Download flashable supersu zip and flash it from here and flash it via TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
b) No.
But you can take nandroid backup through twrp in case something goes wrong.
c) As far as I know there is no problem with "permission" for rooting.
Happy flashing

Hi psxda97.
I did your requested instructions, but still not Rooted.
Here are the steps I did:
1) Downloaded the latest SuperSu zip from XDA and copied to Sd/Download folder on my phone.
2) Went into Custom Recovery TWRP) on my phone.
3) Click Install, selected SuperSu.zip Swipe bar to continue.
Completed 181 seconds did not see errors.
4) Wiped Dalvic & Cache. Reboot the Phone.
When phone restarted I went into Titanium backup apps to test if Root was successful. Received error msg from Titanium "Could not acquire root privileges. This app will not work Verify your Rom is rooted and try again"
Not sure if this makes a difference: in Developers Option I had root access ADP Only enabled & allow Unknown Sources set off.
Since this is the second time running SuperSu should I needed to wipe any files before rooting?
I'll await you reply.
Thanks.
Tom.

I think I'm missing something. Did you tried any other method to root? I recommend a clean flash.
1. Download Sultanxda's unofficial lineageOS from here
2. Download Gapps from here. ( ARM-7.1-nano)
3.Download SuperSU from here
4. [Optional] take back up of your apps (No need to back up medias like photo,video,etc)
5.Got Recovery>wipe>advanced wipe
select system,data,cache and dalvik cache (DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL)
6.flash the zips you already downloaded in this order - ROM- Gapps - SuperSU
do not wipe anything after this step
7.Reboot
1st reboot will take some time (10-20 min ). Do not interrupt this process.
PS: I totally recommend Sultan's LineageOS over official LOS. You can actually feel the difference in smoothness and performance. Especially the Camera.
Feel free to check device specific forum for OnePlus One
Happy flashing!

@psxda97.
Thanks for the quick reply.
OK, I'm going to start from scratch as you requested.
When I try to download SuperSu (from your link above) located in Google Play, I get “supersu already installed for your device”.
Did not find SuperSu in Phone Apps settings.
Went into TWRP File Manager \ supersu folder. Deleted all (4) entries.
Rebooted.
Went back into TWRP. The 4 entries reappear.
Google Play continues to gray out my device name. SuperSu is already installed.
I do have a SuperSu zip file on my PC. I installed this on my last attempt. It appears to be the same as Google Play.
Here is the name:
“C:\Users\Tomx\Downloads\SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip\”
Should I go with this?

Yes. Copy all 3 zip (rom,gapps,supersu) to you phone.
Let me know how it goes..

@psxda97
Ok, I followed your steps 1-7.
Instructions completed successfully.
After setting up LineageOS and my Google acct I downloaded Titanium Backup.
Clicked on the app and received same error message stated in my previous post.
Is there another option/app to check if my phone is rooted?
I notice when I logoff from TWRP, I get this message displayed “Your device does not appear to be rooted Install SuperSU now This will root your device?“ There is a button to Install.
XDA put out a notice this is a bogus message and do not install.
“Sometimes, TWRP can’t detect that you already have SuperSU, so it’ll ask to flash its built-in version. But it’s almost always best to flash the latest version of SuperSU yourself “
In TWRP file manager\supersu folder contains 4 files.
99SuperSuDaemon, install-recovery.sh, su, Superuser.apk.
Are these the Built in version of supersu?
If you have other suggestions, let me know – Thanks for your help.

Can you send me a screenshot of supersu app?
I'm using the exact settings and I don't have any problem at all.
Do not let TWRP install supersu.

@psxda97
As you know the Supersu is a zip file. When I open/ then extract, the display will show folders & their contents.
I have attached all the folders & contents from supersu extract for your review.
To get a screenshot maybe you can walk me through this step.
The only way I can think of is to find & download the SuperSu apk file (for this version) onto my phone and open it to get a visual screenshot of the app.
Here is the website link where I downloaded SuperSu 2 days ago.

Edit : So you've no supersu app on you phone?

@psxda97
Maybe that's my problem. I do not have supersu on my phone application. (see my attached).
Here' what I do.
1. Download supersu zip file from website to my PC.
2. Connect PC to phone.
3. I do not extract the supersu.zip on my PC, I just manually copy the supersu.zip (as is) to Download folder (A0001) of my Phone.
4. Logoff off phone.
5. Get into TWRP. Click Install. Click supersu zip.
6. Reboot, when finish, run Titanium Backup on phone to check for root.
Should supersu app be on my phone after installation/rebooting?
Somehow it's not doing the root, even though it completes successfully in TWRP. Strange.

Go to recover and flash it one more time
Then go to Advanced on twrp and select copy log (without kernel log).

Go to system settings>developer options>root access and set it to "apps and adb"
If you flash the SuperSU.zip in TWRP on your device then you should have root.
I think you misunderstood from the beginning, did you download the SuperSU.zip and then extract it on PC and then try to install it? If so, that was completely the wrong thing to do. You might have to remove what you've done so far and then try again from a clean start, you might gave to flash your stock firmware to get a clean start.
Have you looked into whether you need normal SuperSU or whether you need systemless SuperSU?

No I never did an extract of the Supersu zip file. I just raised that as a "Should I".
I have attached screenshots of my About Phone & Developer Options for review.
I found only 1 Recovery log file at the Root. This has been attached.
Normal Supersu or Seamless. Not an expert on this, but the article (see below), implies if you flash supersu it will decide what method to use. I'd prefer seamless if this help. "https://www.howtogeek.com/249162/what-is-systemless-root-on-android-and-why-is-it-better/"
Just curious. What if I ran in this order Supersu, ROM, GAAP.
Would that make any difference?

The problem might be in the LineageOS ROM that you're using, I've seen others have this issue on other devices using LineageOS.
I don't recall what some of the solutions were.
@Sam Nakamura is pretty knowledgeable about the OnePlus devices, maybe he has some useful input.

Sorry, it's early in the morning here and I think I haven't been able to get the question yet...
First of all, lineageOS provides a own method of root, found here:
https://download.lineageos.org/extras
If you instead choose to use supersu the order must be -> rom, (custom kernel), supersu, (or rom, custom kernel, gapps, supersu but for gapps it doesn't matter when to flash them as long as it is in the same session and after the rom, supersu intendes to either patch the kernel (hence systemless) or to write in system (partition of the rom), that's why rom and custom kernel (if you choose to use a custom kernel) needs to be flashed before supersu...
The supersu systemless / system detection does not always work properly, in that case you can force supersu systemlessly by going to the terminal option in twrp before flashing supersu and type this:
"echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" no quotes, type "false" instead of "true" in this line to force system mode...
If that doesn't solve your problems please elaborate on this again..

I haven't used LineageOS yet so I'm not familiar with its details, I was pretty sure you'd know though. [emoji106]
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE

@Sam Nakamura.
Thanks for the info.
I have previously executed the steps in the order you posted. I was just asking if other sequences to flash these apps were plausible.
With the help of member psxda97, he documented similar steps 1-7 for me. (Please read Post #4 on this thread and my results in Post #7). It's basically a snapshot of what you posted regarding the order seq.
Unfortunately, my phone still did not root after applying the ROM, GAAP & Supersu in this order. I'm not sure why the root is declared successful in TWRP, and the phone remain un-rooted.
Do you suggest I rerun steps1-7 from Post#4 and include your echo statement before installing supersu?
The LineageOS extras, (you mentioned) has a built-in root.
I now have LineagOS from Sultanxda's installed on my phone. It is highly recommended by XDA members over the official LOS, for it's smoothness and camera enhancements. Sultanxda' release is 06/25/2017.
LOS extras has a release date of 06/21/2017. My only issues, whether to choose LOS extras. I will subsequently get the next “Official” LOS release for 6/25 and loose LOS Sultanxda installation.
Tom.

@Sam Nakamura
I downloaded LOS extras from the link you provided.
Went into TWRP
Did the Install
Then rebooted.
Went back to phone\Developers Option
Root Access is still grayed out.
See screenshot attached.
Any suggestions?
Should I just do a TWRP factory reset and start over?

Did you choose the correct arm(32) version of lineageOS su? I'd try the following:
Backup all partitions with twrp so you can return to your set-up later on..
Wipe everything except internal storage
Flash rom, (custom kernel), gapps and su
Boot up and check if it's working now
If not restore your backup and check next point
Alternatively:
Have you tried superSU with forced systemless via twrp terminal (by the way, if done correctly there shouldn't fallow a output with this command line..)
Flash supersu from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
I never had issues with the beta but you can also use the stable version, downloads on post 1
Using Magisk as root and root management tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Flashable zip via twrp, if successful go to magisk settings, and check superuser and read the rest of Magisk's potential on the linked thread, my preferred method as it allows you to hide root from certain apps which deny service to rooted devices..
Important, it's not a good idea to flash lineageOS su, then supersu, then magisk after each fails, at least restore your clean boot partition from twrp or flash the boot.img from within your rom zip... Best would be clean of course - but as you have a backup of your previous system you can play around and make errors...

Ah. Phh is probably why it won't unpack then.
I'm not sure then. If re-flashing B181 hw and public doesn't fix it, it's probably the boot image (seeing as regular camera apps don't work either something is up with the drivers).
I'd try with SuperSU/phh too or update to b182+ if possible and flash regular magisk 13.3, without phh.

Correct. Latest is 181. I guess you could try installing Magisk, it will reboot instantly in twrp if it can't mount image as loop. 182+ is only because most firmware got loop support in 182. (First) B182 for C432 was released 12th of April and yours was released 24th of April, so it might work.
Or rebrand to C636.

Before updating, have you tried restoring boot without rooting and see if that fixes camera?
Try this one, I removed verity and replaced fileencryption with encryptable so it doesn't encrypt your /data again.
https://mega.nz/#!lhE2zLSR!ngNY3bXKMS_eKizjmfnKHbFgVSVnp94dgCXnxuL_G_0
If it doesn't do anything, continue below.
Currently, https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Other ways are Firmware Finder or OTA, but both those require your IMEI to be approved for the update.
And Funky Huawei, which you need to pay for.
It will wipe /data when/if you decrypt again so make sure to make a backup of /data first, or backup apps with Titanium Backup or which backup app you use.
Basically download the Base zip, MHA zip and Windows or linux zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Extract all to the same folder (hwota) and merge if it asks.
Then download:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1366/g104/v91627/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...hw_meafnaf/update_full_MHA-L29_hw_meafnaf.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...27/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
Put all in the "update" folder in the hwota folder you extracted before.
Rename update_full_MHA-L29_hw_meafnaf.zip to update_all_hw.zip
Rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
Put phone in fastboot mode (download mode) and run update.bat (windows) or update.sh (linux)
Pick "Same brand update" when it asks, and "Script update directory".
When it's done your bootloader will be locked again so you need to unlock it if you want to root again.
You will be able to install regular Magisk 13.3 now without superuser (phh)

Resolved the camera issue by following the last steps by flashing the 3 zip files......have unlocked bootloader and installed twrp 3.1.0.1 and trying to install magisk 13.3 but it always stuck at huawei logo.
Have also tried rooting but it seems only SuperSU2.82EMUI5noverityEnforcing works and do i need to follow the steps of formatting data to get it decyrpted?
Currently on MHA-L29C185B182 at the moment.
Thx @ante0 for your kind gesture.Appreciated

My bad.
If you're using official Magisk 13.3, that's why it's not booting. Since your data partition is encrypted, and Magisk removes the encryption flag, it tries to boot without decrypting. So it ends in a boot loop.
Use this: https://mega.nz/#!I4FQzbyA!gBZelHmD3lGGwzGISUXkf7GQTUAq5i785d_qPHQOaVE (this one just doesn't force remove encryption)
Or decrypt first, then flash HW and Public and official Magisk 13.3.
But yes, to decrypt you need to format data.

Is there another way of flashing the 3 zip files without running through pc cuz i dont know whats happening. Am done with with everything working with Magisk and data encrypted but what i have realised this around is my development option is not working along with debugging mode. Also am not able to install apk aside from playstore....Due to that adb in command prompt is not working cuz debugging mode is disables.
In fastboot mode am only able to check device status and reboot device.Id you send a commnd to flash an image it response failed....

If you can't get in to dev options, wipe dalvik/art & cache in twrp, it could fix playstore as well.
If you can't enable adb, try enable disable a few times and remove USB cable between. I always have to do that the first time.
You can actually do everything from twrp to install firmware. But you'd have to check the hwota.sh file for commands... There are a few you must execute.
And is camera working now again?
