Has anyone managed to successully install Xposed on this device? - HTC Desire 630 Questions & Answers

Hello, I own a rooted HTC Desire 630 and I attempted to install Xposed Framework two times now, but both of my attempts failed miserably ( I got stuck at HTC boot screen, although I could access the recovery ) . So miserably that I had to relock the BL and flash the stock ROM. This is getting annoying, because I followed all the steps really carefully ( FROM HERE: bit(DOT)ly(SLASH)2oS8H1u ) and I used the correct ARM .zip file. Is there a software problem that doesn't allow this file to be flashed? Or do I have to use special Xposed files just like it's needed for Samsung?
I have to mention that I had unlocked BL, Superuser access and the latest TWRP beta made by @Captain_Throwback when doing the prcedure.
ANY HELP/FEEDBACK WOULD BE APPRECIATED

1. Root your phone
2. Install Magisk manager apk
3. Flash Magisk from recovery
4. Flash systemless Xposed framework
5. Install Xposed manager apk (modified for systemless xposed framework)
6. Install modules you want/ need.
7. Done!

Did you attempt it? If yes, did it finish successfully?

That seems pretty convincing. I'll try it myself and confirm if it works for me.
Oh, and one more thing: Substratum. It's practically unusable for this device. Once you enter and finish the initial setup, you are prompted to grant it multiple app permissions, aswell as Superuser permissions. As soon as I hit GRANT on the Superuser pop-up, the phone reboots itself and the whole app data is cleared. Is it just my device that's operating like this or is Substratum unsupported?
Wondering if I should create a new thread on this if the problem persists.

Doesn't seem to work for me, Magisk just wouldn't install. Flashed the .zip in TWRP (v12.0) but after the reboot Magisk is still not installed.
So, in conclusion, the question still remains and the thread still awaits valid replies on how to do it.

Use this twrp (TEST2) found on this link HERE, Install Magisk apk, flash the Magisk zip, search on XDA for SYSTEMLESS XPOSED FRAMEWORK on that thread you will find modified Xposed installer apk and ZIP file that you need to flash. While in recovery you can flash supersu zip, just google for that one. Aaaaaand you're done!

[Q] How to install BusyBox and Xposed in HTC Desire X?

i have HTC Desire X. i can't install busybox, my phone reboots on installing it.
i want to ask that does this flashing the zip file helps? it wont brick my cellphone right?
i got this " Root_SuperSU.1.44-Busybox.1.21.1_in_xbin-signed" and "busybox" zip file from some XDA thread, i have attached it
do i have to install busybox in my phone before going to recovery and flash the zip file?? or without installing busybox on my phone i should go to recovery and flash this zip file? they haven't mentioned anything about it in that XDA thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51688913#post51688913)
i have attached two zip files for BusyBox, please someone check it.
i m not able to install Xposed on my HTC Desire X. after reboot app_process disappears (shown in the picture attached).
there are three modes of installation in Xposed
1. Classic (write to /system directly)
2. manually zip flash by recovery
3. automatically zip flash by recovery
what does 2 and 3 do? and how does 2 and 3 work?
i have installed xposed version 2.1.4 via flashing zip file in twrp i got from this some website (i m not allowed to post the outside link for some reason), i have attached the zip file i got from that website.
Now i want to update it to latest version but after installing lastest version (2.5 or 2.4.1), app_process doesnt get install (app_process number shows 34 in red)
is there a solution to this problem?
is there a way to get Xposed zip for latest version?
Please Help. i m noob.
Thank You
To install busybox I think u need custom kernel.

Hard bricking can happen with installing busybox too, same chance as installing kernel. You can also install busybox from recovery, you only need to find a flashable zip

I can't flash any zip files via recovery after updating to 5.1.1

I don't know what lucky patcher is or how to do signature verification on a smart phone, but I do know that flashing .zip files is super easy using TWRP, which is a custom recovery now available for C4/5 thanks to @bigrammy (I'm very thankful for the hard work and detailed instructions!):
forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-c5-ultra/development/bootloader-unlocked-custom-recovery-t3285521
Read everything carefully. I was able to get TWRP and SuperSU then easily flashed the Xposed Framework .zip via TWRP.
According to the second post in the thread I linked to above, it's confirmed to be working on FWV 5.1.1 for both the C4 as well as the C5.

Ask the EpsilROM users (Magisk & xposed installing)

Hi. i have using the epsilrom 4.2 (G850S)
today, I succeeded in installing lastest magisk. but Xposed SDK 21 version(topjohnwu) does not boot when installed.
how about you guys? i have been used before xposed-v87.1-samsung-5.0.x-By-dkcldark.
Have you ever used it normally? Please solve it T_T
Same here, has anyone found a way to get systemless xposed in our device yet?
I found a way, I will write the process later here, just I'm from phone now.

So here the files:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4pltdlq1c9t8yyy/Magisk-v12.0.zip?dl=0
The xposed framework is based a mix of topjohnwu and dkcldark works.
Process:
Install Magisk Manager and flash the zip, and after that install Xposed Installer and flash the framework.
And the most important think:
Always make a backup before do anything.

[GUIDE][A2017G](Easy Method) Replace SuperSU with Magisk

EASY METHOD : tested on N-B05 - report when problems
(THIS SHOULD WORK FOR EVERY MODEL IMO)
For those who want to replace SuperSU with the latest Magiskv13.3 (stable) :
0. BACKUP FIRST !
1. Download latest here and put it on ext.SD
2. go into SuperSU app (#) and scroll down to 'Fully Unroot'
3. Tap it and tap YES when asking to replace boot.img - if this doesn't work : tap NO and flash it in TWRP before Magisk (works on B04, B05 and B06)
4. As soon as it starts to run and you get a first black screen : hold VOL+ and Power as to go into TWRP (if you should have missed the first attempt, don't panic, let it boot, power off again and go back into TWRP )
5. once in TWRP flash Magiskv13.3 (or flash boot and Magisk depending on the method you choose)
6. Done !
I tested it by installing a module and no problem so far...
Having root...
EDIT : when above steps are not working (Magisk Manager chashes) try following steps :
1. First download Magisk v13.3 and Magisk Manager v5.2.0 which you can find here and put both on ext SD
2. Follow procedure like above again
3. Run Magisk and when it chrashes to give permissions just go into settings/apps/wipe cache and settings from magisk.
Then install latest Magisk Manager v5.2 0 apk , run Magisk again and see if it grants permissions to f.e AdAway.
Normally this should work when you encounter crashes by just installing Magisk 13.3
Report when having issues or comment
thnx @topjohnwu
Thanks bro
Confirmed working on 2017G
i didnt replace boot.img in su uninstall(was giving error in su uninstall)
i flashed it in twrp before magisk install
And what happens if you mess up or miss going directly into TWRP?
Edit: Well I did it on, on a 2017U. It gave me a heart attack because it went black but that was TWRP just putting the screen to sleep. I'll report back if there are any issues.
Edit 2: "Magisk Manage keeps stopping".
What do I do now?

You can't mess up , it just reboots, so power off again to go back in TWRP, that easy. I updated OP to lower the chances of possible heart attacks
EDIT : for some reason this method works on N-B05 and not on latest N-B06 (crashes) - EDIT2 : figured it out :cyclops: ( wipe cache/data from Magisk in settings/apps and install Magisk Manager v5.2.0 )

SuperSU backs up the original boot image with a long name and .gz extension. Exact whereabouts I forgot. Oddly, on my currently running ROM, I can't a backed up image anywhere.
Regardless, unpacking the LOS zip will get you the original boot image.

Advises for Google camera + camera2 Api + root

Hi,
I'm a happy new owner of the redmi note 4 and I've already unlocked the bootloader.
I would like to use google camera, and eventually adblock.
I've seen there are various way to
- install bootloaders (and it seems there are also various boatloaders)
- root the phone
- enable camera2 api, with and without root
- ...
Actually I like to keep the stock rom and the phone as vanilla as possible, as I've read there are redundant issue with custom rom. I also do like the idea of being able to update the phone "normally", which seems to be what you call OTA update . Also, I've seen that some app may not work if some verification fails ?
So basically the question could you explain me a bit the broad picture and what would you recommend ?
Thank's
PS : sorry I'm not super acurate, I rooted my LG G2 years ago and things seems to have evolved a lot since then.

So, you want root and GCam working on your MIUI without breaking OTA updates, is that right?
• Unlock bootloader, flash RedWolf recovery then through Redwolf recovery flash LazyFlasher.
• In Redwolf enable OTA survival.
• Flash Magisk through recovery for root.
• For GCam to work, you need to enable Camera2API in your build.prop. This can be done through a simple Magisk module too. But I must warn you enabling Camera2API on MIUI might break some functionalities of your MIUI stock camera app.​

If RedWolf succeeds OTA survival, then there is no need. But after OTA if RedWolf is replaced by stock recovery, then yes you'll have to flash everything once again. Refer RedWolf thread for more details on OTA survival.

Sounds right and great, thank's !
Two question.
- I've read somewhere that some custom recovery and/or root may cause some app to fail, notably banking app.
Well I used to use such app on my rooted G2 , but will it remain posible after folowing the process you suggest above ?
about redwolf, there is quite a lot of explainations in theses two links 1 and 2, however I can figure out how to install redwolf ?! what am I suppose to do with the .iso image available for download ? isn't there a step by step install guide somewhere ?
Thank's

Use Magisk for root and once Magisk is installed enable Magisk hide for the banking app, this will hide root from that particular app.
Installing a custom recovery like redwolf :
1. Unlock your phone's bootloader.
2. Download the recovery image file, rename it to "recovery.img" and place in a folder on your computer. Make sure you have working ADB and fastboot drivers installed on this computer.
3. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (Volume Down + Power button)
4. Open command prompt in the folder containing the downloaded recovery. (Shift + Mouse right click)
5. Type the below command into the command prompt
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img​
Once inside recovery flash ROM, Magisk, if ROM is MiUI flash lazyflasher too, or phone won't boot. If custom ROM ignore lazyflasher and flash GApps instead.
If recovery installation instructions confuse you there are infinite number of YouTube videos that will help you.

Thank's again , that's awesome!
Maybe a few more question
FIRST
at step 2) how do I make sure I have a working ADB and Fastboot drivers ?
As far as I understand, fastboot drivers should already be installed ; however I suspect ADB not to be installed.
Indeed, I've already unlocked the bootloader with this tutorial, and I can confirm the phone is unlocked from settings > more settings > developper options > Mi locking status.
So basically I've already installed MiUSBDrivers and ran miflashunlock. There are fastboot.exe, fastboot_unlock.exe and AdbWinApi.dll files in the miflash_unlock folder I downloaded and used to unlock, but I haven't used any of these later 3 files.
I have found this post to install ADB
SECOND
at step 4), the best would be to place the recovery image downladed from here into the folder containing ADB downloaded just above right ?
Then, go on with step 5)
THIRD
If everything went well, my phone is supposed to reboot in redwolf recovery, ok.
but whart do you mean by "Once inside recovery flash ROM" ?
Why am I suposed to flash a rom ?
To my understanding, I already have a rom, miui, and do not want to change for the moment.
Should I download the "Full Rom" from here, or the "Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File" rom from here ? If so, what souhld I do with the rom; where sould I place it, on the computer, on the phone ?
Or do I need to flash ROM only if I want to change/upgrade my rom ?
FOURTH
To flash Magisk and Lazyflasher.
I understood that redwolf recovery comes with Magisk, so I assume I'll only have to go to "install" tab of redwolf, and I'll find the Magisk file to flash.
Ok what about Lazyflasher ? is it also provided with redwolf ?
Or should I download it ? and if so where should I place the file ?
FIFTH (and last)
I assume once installed from recovery, Magisk will show himself as an app/icon on the "desktop", and I'll be able to selectively enable Magisk hide for the banking app.
Thank's again for your help.
Sorry if I have too many questions, I'm a little rusted, and prefer having a comprehensive picture of the porcess before jumping into it, and avoid one more post entitled helpppp pleeeeeese I bricked my phone

ADB/Fastboot Drivers
Looks like you don't have ADB/Fastboot installed system wide. Although it is completely fine to use adb/fastboot in a folder, installing it system wide is much more convenient because you can open a command window in any folder and execute ADB/Fastboot commands. [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979”]Here's the link[/URL] to download the system wide installer. Install it and REBOOT your PC.
Flashing RedWolf
Once drivers are installed and PC rebooted, connect phone in Fastboot mode and follow my previous instructions. Also now you can open command prompt in any folder and execute the commands since ADB/Fastboot is installed system wide.
Flashing ROM
Sorry if I confused you there in the previous post. If you wish to stick with your current MIUI ROM then you don't need to flash any ROM file.
Flashing Lazyflasher
You MUST flash lazyflasher since you want to stay with MIUI. If you install a custom recovery on MIUI without flashing lazyflasher, the phone will not boot and will be stuck at the MI logo. I've attached the file.
Flashing Magisk
Flash Magisk after lazyflasher. You may download the latest package from Magisk thread or use RedWolf's built in Magisk package as you said and update it later through the Magisk manager app. And yes, you can select which apps can be Magisk hidden.

Flashing ROM
Sorry if I confused you there in the previous post. If you wish to stick with your current MIUI ROM then you don't need to flash any ROM file.
Flashing Lazyflasher
You MUST flash lazyflasher since you want to stay with MIUI. If you install a custom recovery on MIUI without flashing lazyflasher, the phone will not boot and will be stuck at the MI logo. I've attached the file.
Flashing Magisk
Flash Magisk after lazyflasher. You may download the latest package from Magisk thread or use RedWolf's built in Magisk package as you said and update it later through the Magisk manager app. And yes, you can select which apps can be Magisk hidden.

While it can all be flashed at one go, I suggest you to flash LF and once boot your device successfully and reboot to redwolf and flash Magisk afterwards.

Excellent !
so
- I did installed redwolf recovery - changed settings as advised here
- flashed lazyflasher
- reboot -> wokrs I'm back on miui
- reboot in redwolf and flashed magisk
- reboot into android, installed rootchek, I'm rooted
- hide magisk from magisk manager for my apps --> working
Everything works
Further questions :
- Am I suppose to clean cache at some stage ? I can still do it now ?
- Is there some recomended module for magisk ? (not sure what they are for)
- as for everything else, I've seen many options to enable camera2api. Which one would you recomend ? is "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" the only needed change or this treat rises something this
- is there a recomended version/release of google camera to use with miui9 global, latest update (not developper) (I've seen various reported issues depending on version/release)
- any other must/nice/interesting hacks to fully enjoy this phone ?
- any security recomendation ? (re-locking the bootloader ? instally some utilities... ?)
thanks
after that, I'll be done

Clean cache not required.
Magisk modules are MODs for your system but they are done without tampering your system. (Systemless MODs).
Try Dolby atmos ZTE Axon 7 audio MOD module, YouTube vanced module (100% Adfree, background play)..etc
Use Arnova's GCam.
Never ever relock bootloader with a custom recovery or custom ROM. Else irreversible brick.
I've repeated too much stuff that has been posted in the forum already, if you have any further doubts search the forum or use Google.
Flash through redwolf the attached file to enable camera2api. If you want to uninstall it later go to magisk manager and delete it.
Cheers.

Hi dude
I'm almost done but back to square 0, with blinking black screen at boot !
No crisis, I can still go to redwolf recovery, as well as fastboot.
How it happend ?
In magisk manager (on miui) I checked what modules were available in the download panel, and tried "Google Pixel 2 Experience" or something similar.
On reboot, the mi logo is displayed, then I have a black screen blinking on and off, without mi logo, just black, on and off
I thus wanted to unistal the mod with magisk module uninstaller, but the install fails and return that "magisk is not installed" and "magisk is required for this mod"
So I obviously couldn't try to uninstall the supposed failing module
I thus rebooted in redwold and installed magisk from redwolf (the included release), things went well
However, I still cant install magisk module uninstaller, getting the same error as above.
I took my chance and try to re-install magisk from the zip filed I downloaded, the install process was successfull, but I still can't install magisk mod uninstaller, and the black screen issue persist.
Lastly, I took my chance and try to re-install lazy flasher, the install process was successfull, but the black-screen issue persist.
To be honest, I'm a bit sctuck now.
What may be the right procedure to solve this problem ?
Am I screwed and do I have to reflash a whole rom ?
If so Should I do it from redwolf, and how ?
Or should I do it from the pc with fastboot, and how ?
Thanks for your directions
ps: i was interested by pixel 2 experience module as at it was written that it was compatible with mido and provides camera2api, which might have been a nice combo.
ps 2 : I also did installed dolby as you suggested, it worked but the demo crashed to app
ps 3 : I also did installed youtube vaccant, but I couldn't see any new app and my original youtube still had add and couldn't play in the back... not sure it reveals something on the effectiveness of magisk...
