need help with magisk root, twrp and xposed (update 2017)?

Hey all,
Just purchased a LG U2 and now trying to make it work in the way i want it.
All informations here seem very old, so I wanted to open an update thread, with all what is possible on th lgu2, while
I found only very outdated informations...:crying:
So far:
First I setup the watch with AW2.0, after that flashed twrp 3.1.1.0 and supersu wear 2.82
I managed to get busybox installed and wanted further add Xposed.
There my problem starts, flashing xposed didn't work out.
So right after that, I switchd to Magisk root, to try work with the modules supplied.
(Steps -> use script UnSU, after that flash boot.img again, than flash MAgisk through twrp)
But after that the same with the modules. I try to install busybox, magisk tell me its no magisk module (i've downloaded the module and pushed it on the sd through adb, while the download button isn't reachable in magisk dialogue menu)
in twrp the module tells me there is no magisk installed.
so how can we go on from here? is there a way to make it all work?
did somebody try to change dpi and download the module directly through magisk? does it work?
also if somebody could help with an updated list of sideload able full android apps?
would need an email that can handle at least two accounts directly on the watch (please not advice outlook, its working from the phone i know)
thanks to all in advance

Ok i did a fresh flash.
i see my fault was to install busybox the first time after installing supersu.
did it this time without and mgisk works so far fine. granting access for total commander no problem.
but now another thing. i installed now busybox from the repos in magisk, he say installation successful, but the module isn't there after reboot?
anyone got the same?

i used a systemless framework... will search for the link again.
anybody got it done this way?

Trying To Install EdXposed (Problem)

Anyone give me any info on where I'm going wrong or why it isn't working?
So I'm on Android 9 - Running stock OS, rooted with Magisk 19.4, custom Kernel SJ1 (MentalMusos)
I've installed both Riru Core (v19.5) and Riru EdExposed (v.0.4.5.1 beta (tried both Yafta & Sandyhook)) via Magisk and installed the XposedInstaller (by dvdandroid) but each time the app tells me the Xposed Framework is not installed. The app also prompts me to update it, which just returns a parsing error.
Also, not sure if relevant, but if I try to flash Riru Core or EdExposed modules via TWRP I get an "unable to mount system" error?
Thanks for any help guys.

Sorry posted in wrong section, thought I was in Q&A. ?*

Update for anyone that's interested...
Managed to get EdExposed installed. Seems DVDandroids apk, is specifically for Xposed. I used the wrong APK the entire time, you need to get the APK from the Magisk module instructions which is specifically for EdExposed (EdExposed Manager by ElderDrivers) - How I didn't notice they were different APKs is shocking and I guess I deserved the bootloop I got. I Think the mishmash of modules I had installed and uninstalled probably caused that. Or maybe because I aborted the setup process that Tab entered into once it rebooted. Learning experience I guess.

Does camera work with Edxposed and Android 11 Nov Update?

I'm not able to open the Android camera app anymore. WIth Edxposed disabled it works. So I'm wondering if anyone on Android 11 Nov update with Edxposed has camera working. If so, could you kindly tell me your setup (ie. Edxposed version, etc.)?
Edit: It looks like the Camera update from Nov 17 is what broke this. After uninstalling the update it works.

I have the same problem - how did you uninstall the update?
EDIT: Nevermind I figured it out ?

Uninstalling the update down to 7.3.021 is an okay fix... but is there any way to update it to something more recent without installing 8.1.011 from the Play Store which is definitely broken with EdXposed?
I tried the APK Mirror installer with a split APK, but get a "verification did not succeed" error. This is with USB/ADB verification disabled.
I tried an old 7.6 APK with MiXplorer trying to install with root and it also didn't work.
I don't think I use the camera enough to even know the difference between 7.x and 8.x... I guess I'm just curious.

Anyone found a solution for this? Only stock version is working.

Apparently if you clear the cache/data of Google Play Services, the APK Mirror Installer will have better luck installing other versions.

For pass the dread "verification did not succeed" message, clear your Google Play framework data. You will need to resetting some personalization settings (you will know when it happens) but install of 8.x camera app will work.

I had the same issue with edxposed and google camera 8.1, but all of a sudden it started working today. Not really sure what I did that made it work.
I was playing around with edxposed back and forth. Originally had Riru v21.2 installed (where camera 8.1 didn't work), so I installed Riru v23 over it. Rebooted but camera still didn't work. Went back to v21.2 or v21.3 and then went back to v23. I may have done a few more uninstaling/reinstalling and now camera 8.1 opens without crashing.
With camera 8.1 working, I have the following installed: magisk manager 21101, riru v23, riru-edxposed v0.5.0.6 (sandhook), edxposed manager 4.5.7. But the odd thing is that I've had the same apps/modules installed when camera was not working.
What I noticed different this time is that Edxposed manager says "Edxposed Framework is not installed" whereas before it would say something like, "installed but not active." That made we think that edxposed wasn't installed or active, so i tested with 2 xposed modules (fingerface and disableflagsecure) and they both work... so I'm pretty sure edxposed is active.
I also cleared the cache and storage on the camera app but I don't think that did anything.

I have the same problem

I tried it but it didn't work, it only works with v 21.3 but the modules stopped working. Hopefully a solution comes out.

Add gcam to black list and reboot. Just tried and it works

I tried updating Google Camera to 8.1, immediately didn't work as expected.
Added to Exposed blacklist, rebooted... still didn't work.
Added to Exposed Compat list, rebooted... still didn't work.
Downgraded to 7.1, works again.

Before installing 8.1, I added Camera to Exposed blacklist. Just for safe measure also added to magisk hide. Rebooted, installed 8.1 and it worked.
Don't know if all steps are necessary but not gonna tweak anything since I don't know how sensitive it is.

Added to Magisk Hide, Xposed Blacklist, Xposed Compat list, rebooted; installed 8.1.101.x... force closes immediately.

thx, it worked for me. I did it after I already installed 8.1

I did this except add to magiskhide and it worked.. uninstalled updates. Compatibility list camera app, rebooted then open it. After update back to 8.1. and opened camera..works great again

What fixed the problem for me was downloading the latest canary YAHFA build in exposed manager. And flashing it in Magisk. I already had configured the compatibility settings for the camera module.

This is all I had to do on my Pixel 4a 5G also. Thanks!

For anyone wondering, in EdExposed, if I go to XHide and hide camera it works. Hope this helps!

Hide camera in black list.
Latest version of exposed, riru, and riruedxposed June 21 update stock rooted. Working flawlessly

LSPosed is a better choice
EdXposed has not been updated for too long

Anyone found a solution? I can't get it to work hiding gcam on xposed blacklist and magiskhide

EdXposed not work after update 12-2020

Hi,
i have updeted to new Version on 9.12.2020 and the EdXposed don't work, have you the same issue?
I use magisk 20.4 and manager 8.0.3
module Riu v23.0(49) (2020-12-02)
Riu - edXposeed v0.4.6.4 (YAHFA)
EdXposed manager v4.5.7
i get after reboot the message "EdXposed Framework is not installed"
can you help me?

Hi,
So, I had to go back from v23.0 to v21.3 from riru-core. Then I had to reinstall EdXpoed, the manager as well. Felt 100 reboot made and now XposedLua is running again, yay.

I love this arogant manner.
I once learned, issue at Github are also there to have discussions so others can understand certain errors.
Be it so...
I hope other users who have the same problem find this post to have a solution.

Safety net ,Multiple fails. List of what I tried and no luck so far.

My daughter got a new phone, after struggling with bootloops and magisk issues. Finally got everything working correctly.
But,
I got root to go fine, only thing is she has had location issues. Google maps, other GPS or location services did not work.
So I uninstalled xprivacylua and seems like services came back, looks like I wasn't hiding anything on it anyways. Or I don't remember what it was.
So instead of reinstalling xprivacylua I decided to look for different answers .
Maybe some other solutions.
Here is a list of apps and modules that are installed. I think some of them overlapped and are kind of messed up. To many that my head is spinning.
Magisk
23.0 (23000)
Magiskhide Props Config.
Riru
Riru LS exposed (Tried switching back and forth to edxposed)
Systemless Hosts
Universal Safetynet fix 1.1.2. (Tried different versions)
LS Esposed one module,
Hiddencore module (enabled Google services Framework and google play services)
Also cleared Data and Cache on google play store.
Rebooted every time
Always safety net failure.
I know its a lot to take in , and do appreciate any feedback or help on this issue.

Is it an 8T? Are you running stock OOS with magisk?
In that case all you need to pass safteynet should be Magisk 23 with magisk hide activated. No need to bother with Magisk hide propconfig, or edexposed or anything.
If you are running a custom rom it is a different matter

I have magisk 23 and magisk hide is active on all google play services, but it still fails.
Its 8t with stock rom.
I think this is why its a little confusing since on my stock 7 pro I have google play services and only android.gms, and android gms unstable hidden and it works fine.
There is not a custom recovery on either of these phones.

Magisk and magisk hide works fine for me, so don't know what to say.
Perhaps try to uninstall Riru and exposed to make sure that they aren't triggering safety net?

You have to get termux. Get su superuser permissions then type props a menu will load press 2 then select yes to change device name then y again to reboot then it should pass safety net

Nope.. Terminal Emulator is actually recommended. With Termux, you are required to use root access for props to work.
with Terminal Emulator, you can just type:
props
and then it'll load. no "su" necessary. That's termux. I've had some issues that these people are talking about with my OnePlus 8T (KB2005, unlocked completely).. I'll try Termux just to rule this out, but this is highly doubtful as to whether or not safetynet passes based on this--it's attempting to modify the same values. Anyway, when I unlocked that bootloader on a stock rom, CTS Profile started showing as false. So I did get the stock on there correctly and it initially passed with a LOCKED bootloader. There's an alpha TWRP that you can actually flash if you want. There's a couple others where you can only boot it.. there's a lot of "only's" here.. and I couldn't get it going with any of the apps mentioned, including ditching EdXposed and deciding to try LSPosed, but that + XPrivacyLau didnt seem to help me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. From what I can tell I've done everything right and I've got quite a bit of experience attempting/doing this. Sometimes Device SImulation and forced BASIC ATTESTATION can be a lifesaver.
On my OnePlus 6T, I don't have this problem.. then again it's on Android 10. I can't even get a proper root explorer for Android 11. I seriously can't stand what they did to Android 11.. it's so ridiculous how many apps are now incompatible. Root Explorer Pro was possibly the best Root File Manager I've ever used and I've used it since day 1.
Anyway, I'm gonna give all of this a shot in different order.. and this time I'll see if Magisk can do the trick (last time it was on some different firmware and i just now was able to get it going by flashing via Fastboot in Linux). It's the manual way (payload dumper) as opposed to MSMDownloadTool -- which could be used via a VM.. and maybe even better than using Windows tools where you literally have no idea what you're actually doing. I'm just saying. Android is a linux distro, technically.. and we're trying to use just basic root apps for Android 11, and they don't seem to work.. it's insane. They did something with the partitions and it's apparently having issues even mounting R/W even with Magisk giving it root permissions. Btw, Magisk Canary is now outdated, as far as I can tell? Or it's just nowhere to be found when it comes to versions. Either way, I have tried multiple. So I'll try again in a different order.
Sorry for the long post. I've just had it. I've been working on this for a WEEK non stop.. 5-6 days and this is the first sign of progress (reverting via fastboot via Linux, which is the same thing as the MSMDownloadTool ultimately... without the hassle of finding it)
Let me know if there's anything else.. cause I've tried just about everything out there. Remember, for me, so far... unlocked bootloader = CTS Profile failure.. but locked bootloader + stock rom? Passed. I don't know. Before it wasn't passing with a stock rom that came with it so that drove me nuts and made no sense, hence me saying "progress" ... heh. Anyway.. Please let me know if you guys do find anything that works for it. I'm at my wits end. There's basically almost zero support for the 8T but plenty for the 8 and 8 Pro. So that also gets on my nerves. Sorry, once again, for this really long post. Some of it is just venting and I'll update if I get somewhere with it.

.. and now this morning after installing magisk, by just booting twrp (not flashing, but booting) and then using LSPosed/XPrivacyLua (I installed MagiskProps too but I barely did anything aside from pick a fingerprint) --- and it passed? WHAT?
I'm gonna look into this, but I'm not complaining. Let's see if I can find good Android 11 apps for actually browsing the system and being able to r/w any elusive partitions -- wasn't working well with Android 11 before. Not sure if that's around with a simple design anymore. Root Explorer Pro was king of that. Then Android 11 stepped in. I still have to install Lucky Patcher, if it will even work as a module for LSPosed. (Yes, I'm one of those idiots) -- I fully expect it to fail with that but I might be pleasantly surprised. Who knows. So, we'll just call this mixed results. For now -- Passing somehow. I don't understand aside from LSPosed and XPrivLua.. maybe magiskprops. Not sure which one did what first to cause this to go the right direction.

All I can say is all I have is magisk props not the other 2 modules you speak of

Well this is super weird. I didnt see my daughter for 2 days and she said everything is working fine.
I did tons of reboots and other installs/uninstalls and nothing worked.
But now I do safety net check and it works fine.
I dont get it.
If I do have issues again I will post here and follow instructions.
Thank you for your time and help
