Looking to install Xposed for Magisk on my G973F/Exynos (I am successfully rooted on stock Android 10), so I can run Xprivacy Lua, but worried about the warning related to bootloop.
On the Magisk site, there are contradictory statements:
By the way, EDXposed and TaiChi working flawlessly in the android 10 devices and also some of the modules only which has upgraded to SDK 29 working without conflicts.

Can someone advise which method to use and how to recover from the bootloop if it happens?

If bootloop happens: boot to TWRP (you WILL need that) and disable EdXposed/Taichi. To do that, go to terminal and type 'cd /data/adb/modules', followed by e.g. 'touch EdXposed/disable' (beware: you need to check the correct path).
I would always try EdXposed first, because it is open source.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot, I do have TWRP installed. What is the keypress combo to get me out of bootloop, or is it the same as booting to TWRP?

Get out of bootloop by pressing power & vol- for seven seconds, immediately followed by TWRP combo.

Looks like I'm good to go. Does this look right to you? Just wondering about the three instances of Riru listed. What worries me is that I have two 'optimize' lightning bolts at the top of the manager app. Just checking to be sure.
Also, this is probably an obvious answer, but I presume that Xposed modules like Xprivacy should be installed via the EdXposed Manager, yes? I've learned to not take anything for granted with mods like this.
Thanks!

Looks excellent. I think you can delete the Edxposed entry with no further text.
Those two 'Optimize' buttons.. yea, dunno. I think they're explained in the EdXposed thread, can't remember. But they're normal.
Installing of modules works either way: via Manager, download-and-install, or installation via Playstore/F-Droid/you-name-it.
Hi guys.Id like to install EdXposed on my S10 +Exynos(rooted by Magisk).I currently use last stock fw patch december.
Would it be possible to install it?
Could you please tell me the steps to install it?Tnx in advance

Hello,
I have a rooted Iocean G7.
I wanted to install the framework module with the Xposed installer app. This was no success, I got a bootloop. After this I contacted Iocean, and I have flashed my phone with the computer. It works fine now, as it should.
Now my question is, how can I install the framework module without getting a bootloop or other problems?
Thank you,
Robert

On Tweakers they think that the Rom is not compactible, but I do not think so... You?

You guys know that Xposed puts a framework disabler zip on your internal storage? All you have to do is boot into a custom recovery and install it.

What root method did you do that didn't require USB Debugging to be enabled?? But yea, I dunno about that. You're going to have to find out though. You'll need the SP Flash Tool to work, whether it's to install the custom recovery, or to install the entire stock firmware.

There is a 'Super User' setting in Settings which I enabled.
I tried installing PdaNet but that does require USB debugging to complete the installation.
Isn't there a standard recovery mode on these phones that I can use (combination key press) to install a rom copied onto the SD card?

That's pretty handy. But no, the stock recovery does not support that. You might be able to get out of it just from doing a factory reset in the stock recovery, but it's hard to say since Xposed makes changes to /system as well and the factory data reset does not affect the /system partition, just /data

hi good day how to root iocean g7
Guys I'm new to this xposed installer and framework.. Whenever i try to open some apps they are been strucked and shows some error.
xposed on LP is Alpha, and there're issues with modules and framework, please take the following as kind advice :
if you were unable to find and read any of the tens of threads about installing xposed, you're probably better off without it, as you can expect problems/bootloops/issues ...etc, so unless you're prepared to go through all this, I suggest not installing xposed, but instead try a pre-made rom like Existence or Envi.
Just my 2 cents

Now you flash xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip in your recovery (i assume your phone is rooted and has a working recovery?) and xposed will be working.
But please read ticktock666 advice carefully, if you can't figure out how to install xposed yourself how are you going to fix your device if it bootloops?
You should be comfortable with flashing .ftf , rooting it and installing recovery before your start messing with xposed, search and read.

Major credits again to @zachariahpope for the Lollipop build earlier tonight. Unfortunately getting it rooted from stock won't work. Which is why I proceeded to try the same method from my rooting guide to attempt root. And I am proud to say...I HAVE THE ROOTED LOLLIPOP SONY XPERIA Z3V!!!
And also, I have recovery as well.
If you're going to follow in the same footsteps, please PLEASE remember when you get the supersu file, grab the v2.49 as that is for LOLLIPOP.
@GigaSPX Make one of these in the development section too!!
well, looks like its time to flash
I thought this day would never come!!

where is it? can I just root the phone when I Flash it back to stock root from there and not take the OTA and go straight to the pre-root for Lolipop?

If you want root, you need to preroot. Otherwise, you won't have it at all.
Also this is an update: it seems it's still Verizon holding all of us by the edge about VoLTE. I tried activating it but it won't work. Still can't browse and call at the same time dammit.
Is this patched for Stagefright?

Just installed it. v74-sdk21-arm . Gave me a little scare, as it hung on the Sony logo after rebooting. Also, upon that initial reboot, the lockscreen was vacant and couldn't get beyond what should've been there. Had to long-press power to bring up power menu and select reboot.
Following that, things seem to be working fine. Xposed Installer crashes if you click on xda support links in module pages, and the installation of xposed modules from within the Xposed installer can take significantly longer than it did on KK.

Not sure if this helps, but, I jumped from this phone to the LG G4. We don't have much development but, some rooted users don't have advanced calling because they are rooted. I am a non-rooted user with advance calling. To add another variable to the equation, you have to have the My Verizon Mobile app installed and not disabled to at least initiate advanced calling. Some of the rooted users I think figured that out.

Big thanks here. Fully updated now, and with this tip I'm running xposed as well.
Uninstalled old xposed first (may not have been necessary)
TWRP dirty flashed pre-rooted 5.0.2 zip from post 44 of that lollipop dev thread
After boot TWRP isntalled v74-sdk21-arm module
Installed xposed_installer.apk and added back my most used modules
-chromepie
-xtether (still working )
Didn't bother with xperiaxposed, not even sure if it's updated. Never really used it

Hey guys.
The below is my full experience of how I flashed TWRP, the Xiaomi.eu rom and rooted with Magisk. Whilst it essentially is a step-by-step, it also contains not only how I succeeded but also how I encountered issues and so...
*UPDATE!*
Here is a slightly condensed verison with thanks to @airwebber
Get the latest xiaomi.eu rom from here or here, just scroll down and find the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9..." version.
https://sourceforge.net/p/xiaomi-eu...ty/?page=0&limit=100#5cb9f96ee8ba7c44716e87ff
Get the latest magisk (magisk v19 works at the time of writing this post):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Some versions of twrp may not work on older builds other than the latest (9.4.25) and so use this one with:
https://mega.nz/#!CH5jgYTB!yNqOiVoo3cf0_15jIwZ-btO52cvpOG7iZrRCe19V2Nc
Once the waiting time elapses (usually 360 hours) use the MiFlash tool to unlock the bootloader. Warning: this wipes your phone entirely, so be sure to backup anything of importance.
Unlocking takes a few minutes and once 100% complete your Mi 9 will reboot. Your phone will say “unlocked” on the first splash screen while booting up.
Your Mi 9 will boot, and you will need to either perform/skip the initial setup stuff. Once ready, power off your device in order to flash TWRP.
Press both the volume down key and power key to boot into Fastboot Mode.
Once in Fastboot Mode, use the following command to install TWRP: “fastboot flash recovery XXXX” (XXXX = the pathway to your TWRP.img file). However, I find it best using Minimal ADB and copying the TWRP file and renaming it to “twrp.img” for ease) in the Minimal ADB folder location e.g. “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot”.
Once flashed, disconnect the USB cable and boot to TWRP recovery by holding down both the volume up and the power buttons. This sometimes will bring you to the stock recovery and NOT TWRP! If it does, boot back to Fastboot and reflash TWRP.
Once you can boot to TWRP, push both the rom and magisk via CMD line:
adb push rom.zip /tmp/
adb push magisk.zip /tmp/
For ease, I suggest copying both files to the Minimal ADB folder location e.g. “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot”. And renaming them to: “rom.zip” and “magisk.zip”.
This step is very important!! You must go to the Wipe menu and select: Format Data, then type “yes” to continue and then: do a Factory reset, which also wipes: Data, Caches and Format Data. If you skip this step you won’t be able to install a lot of important apps and will have to start over.
Now that you have pushed both the rom & magisk and wiped everything you needed to. Install the ROM immediately after install magisk.zip (in that order) both located in /tmp/.
The installation will take a couple of minutes (if your screen dims, don’t worry that’s just TWRP screen dimming, touch the screen to keep it awake!) once finished with no errors, then reboot and chose Do Not Install the TWRP app when prompted.
The phone will take a few seconds to reboot and show the first MI splash screen, but it should start booting. After a couple of minutes, you should see the initial boot screen! Perform the setup (connecting to Wi-Fi, adding my Google account etc.).
Once finished setting up, you may notice that magisk was not installed, if that happens, you can install the APK version and follow the prompts and reboot.
Once rebooted, confirm that magisk is now installed. If it is, I suggest installing SafetyNet and confirming your phone passes!
If it passes, you have successfully installed and rooted the Xiaomi.eu rom!
Also, when updating with each weekly I recommend the below as an alternative to using the built in Updater app. The reason being is I believe the updater app automatically reboots after it installs, which if you're rooted means you'll lose it. That then means you have to reboot back to twrp, reflash magisk, reboot, reinstall modules, reboot again etc.
Therefore to update a weekly:
Download the rom manually
Reboot to twrp
Wipe system and caches
Flash the rom and magisk
Reboot
Optional: I also disable my substratum theme too before updating and reapply afterwards. Whether it's needed or not I'm not too sure, so give it a try either way
Awesome, all files at the ready! BTW get the latest MIUI from HERE or HERE.
Make sure you download the xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_xxx.zip.

Thanks for the detailed write up. The EU roms are google approved correct? Does the side Ai button work with google assist? Do you need to install twrp to flash or can I just flash global/EU rom if I don't want to root yet?
I just got the bootloader unlocked (1h before than I tought ahahah). I had some issue that the unlocker was telling to me thaat I didn't use enought the phone and that so I had to try in few days I overtook the problem using an old version of the unlocker (2.3.803.10).
Reading your procedure it all logical and fine, thanks! Except one thing that I'm not sure... Is xiaomi.eu a 'full rom' (on all Xiaomi that I had I always jumped straight to something different than MIUI and so I never tried it ahahah )?
If so, I think it would be better to wipe the system too before installing the rom. That's because doing so it will do 100% 'clean' installation and not a an update on the normal global miui

Yeah, to change the device name back to mi 9, just install "Find my device" app from Google play store, sign in with google account, there's an option in the setting to rename the device (this device).
That's the only place you can change the name back, I did try all, but only this one worked.
Tried to root with magisk and now the phone won't boot, just keep getting message boot failed and then my firmware is corrupt. Anyone managed to root yet? I can't seem to get into fastboot or recovery either

Finally managed to get into fastboot and flash stock firmware. Hopefully it was just one of those things and Google haven't changed anything to stop us rooting
Probably just need a Magisk update.
Canary build of Magisk?
Patched init_boot, not boot?

I tried to patch using magisk alpha but will try again with canary tomorrow. Got in a bit of a panic because I couldn't get into fastboot. Had to power off with power and volume up (couldn't power off any other way) then I could boot into fastboot with power and volume down (took 20 seconds) not sure if that's normal as it's my 1st pixel
We had to patch init_boot for the 7 Pro, so I assume the Fold will be the same. (I have no insider knowledge.)
My plan is to let the experts be the guinea pigs.

I used pixelflasher to extract the init_boot then patched it with magisk alpha then tried to flash it with pixelflasher once patched. Maybe I did something wrong with slots or something? It flashed in a couple of seconds and then straight to the corrupt message. I'll try again tomorrow doing it manually with canary unless someone beats me to it and writes a guide

I've always patched the file with Magisk, then update via fastboot, then flashed the patched image, all from the command line. I've been doing it this way for the last decade, so when PixelFlasher came out, saw no reason to learn something new.
A month or so ago I saw there was a newer version of ADB and updated it only to find out there were issues (my upgrade failed) with it so installed an older version. I hope you haven't made the same mistake.
