Bootloop after installing Xposed via Magisk - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

I've got the Google Fi variant of the Moto X4 (XT1900-1). It's running stock build OPW28.46-18 (Android 8.1). TWRP 3.2.1-1. I was able to install the latest Magisk no problem and I have working root access. My issue arises when I try to install the Magisk variant of Xposed Framework. When I do this and reboot, the phone seemingly gets caught in a bootloop. I've let it sit for 15-20 minutes to see if it would recover and it does not. To exit the loop, I reboot to fastboot then to TWRP and flash a ZIP that allows me to uninstall Magisk modules right from TWRP. Reboot and phone works fine.
I've tried both versions of the Xposed Framework in the Magisk downloads section (the smart version that automatically chooses the proper framework, and the explicit SDK 27 version), as well as downloaded the ZIP and tried to install it from TWRP. Similar result in all cases. I have only tried the "systemless" Xposed that works with Magisk thus far.
Has anyone else run into and dealt with this issue, or have any suggestions? I'd really like to get Xposed working so I can get XPrivacyLua going and switch over to using this phone as my daily driver.

how are you flashing Xposed? from Recovery or magisk?

I've tried both: installing via Magisk Manager as well as flashing zip in TWRP (xposed-v90.2-sdk27-beta3-topjohnwu.zip). Similar results in both cases.

I didn't think there was a version of xposed compatible with Oreo yet but I could be wrong. This would be a better question in Xposed Section of XDA.

There's been a beta version for Oreo 8.0/8.1 since maybe January (t's on beta version 3 now I think). I'd tried it on my OnePlus 3 with success. I thought maybe it was a Moto X4 issue and I might as well check here first to see if anyone else with this phone had already run into this and fixed it. I'll go ahead and ask the question in the Xposed section of the forum. Thanks!

Seems the OP of this thread has Xposed working: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/help/oreo-magisk-xposed-modules-reboot-t3745612 - Maybe they could help.

Even i had working xposed!
But did not face bootloops!
The way i do it is!
I flash it when i am flashing gapps!
So...flash rom... Flash twrp... Reboot recovery.. . Flash gapps! Flash magisk... Flash xposed...boot to system!

Thanks for the info! Perhaps it's an incompatibility with the stock ROM then, as that's what I'm using. I haven't flashed a different ROM nor GApps on this phone yet (mostly out of fear of not being able to go back to stock with seemingly no official factory images floating around).

I got bootloops too with Magisk and systemless Xposed. I had pattern password set, so I couldn't get TWRP full access to the data to remove Xposed, so I had to delete all my data.
From what I read, Magisk and systemless xposed will not pass SafetyNet so Android pay won't work.

No.. The stock rom is compatible! I simply flashed magisk and then xposed v90... The latest ones! Yeah safety net is broken! But there is a workaround! It is disable the xposed module from magisk and reboot.. Nd then you can use android pay... Once you are done! Activate the module.. And reboot!

Thanks for the info. You're correct about SafetyNet and Android Pay; I gave up on Android Pay years ago for that reason, because Xposed is too important to me to give it up. Perhaps I'll try starting from scratch again with this phone. I'm hesitant to flash ROMs on this phone, stock or otherwise, because of the scarcity of factory images available should something go terribly wrong..

Thank you. I think I'll try to start over and see if I can get it to work. Or maybe I will try using the regular version of Xposed (not the Magisk version).
If you know of a repository of factory images for the Android One version, that would be helpful. I'm finding some images for the retail version but not much love for the A1 version.
Edit: I just found this post which seems like it may contain what I'm looking for, "Latest Project Fi Firmware (Android 8.1)": https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348

I flashed back to stock using the files from the link in my previous post. The weird thing there is that SafetyNet fails immediately now, clearly some side effect of flashing back the stock images. Anyway, I again installed TWRP, then Magisk, then Xposed, and again ran into the same boot loop. I don't know what else to try other than to wait for maybe a new Xposed beta, or maybe try an even older Oreo build on this phone and see how that works.
I've run Xposed (and more recently, Magisk+Xposed) on every Android device I've owned since Xposed has been in existence, and this is the first phone to ever give me trouble.

Which Stock ROM version are you using? Xposed worked for me in Oreo 8.0, but has not worked since upgrading to 8.1. I get the same bootloop issue on OPW28.2.

Thank you, that's good to know because I'm also on 8.1, so it sounds plausible that it's not just me, but a larger compatibility issue between Xposed and 8.1. on this phone.

Just an update, I ended up flashing a factory 8.0 ROM via fastboot and, while it still fails SafetyNet (CTS Profile Mismatch) for some reason, I was able to get Xposed running and finally start using the phone as my primary device. So it is likely to be an 8.1 compatibility issue on this device that was giving me trouble before. Now hopefully I can find a version to flash that will pass SafetyNet, but until then, this will suffice. Thanks for everyone's help!

I've been putting off unlocking bootloader due to my recent concerns with these ota patches being released.
If safetynet fails, what can you not use besides Pay? It's to my understanding safetynet is now being incorporated to several applications and failing, will result in a sometimes inoperable app altogether?

I tried unrooting and flashing a new kernel, but the error remains.
Anyone knows what does it check?
@Tesla
@xstahsie
What I can tell you, Busybox is not the problem in my case. Fully unrooted und un-busyboxed my Note3 (see sig) by modding the ROM I use pre-flash, wiped /system and put it on there with TWRP. Nope. I am close to think that there's some thing custom ROMs pass to Google by SafetyNet and are being detected as not official by that. The fingerprint (In my case "samsung/hero2ltexx/hero2lte:6.0.1/MMB29K/G935FXXU1APEK:user/release-keys") compared to H/W maybe...
I have the same problem with a unroot cyanogenmod 13. Pokemon Go die.

Assuming you have made a NANDROID backup via TWRP when the phone was unrooted, simply restore "boot" from your backup. If you don't have a copy, you'll need to reflash your ROM. And if you have to do that, just flash boot and system.

I'm on the same boat as you guys. Exact same error, CM13 with su removed, nothing else modified. No idea why CTS is now false.

Phone was rooted on second boot.
I will try to flash a stock kernel when i return home, but i don't expect much.
Flashing stock system is definitely not an option, do you think dirtyflash will work?

anyone here tried switching SELinux mode as phhuson suggested?

For people for which SafetyNet fails, is /sys/fs/selinux/enforce or policy readable by an application?
On standard Android it's not readable, but perhaps that's the difference on your devices.

Already tried it, but not with those commands. I switched from an unofficial CM13 ROM with SElinux set to permissive to an official CM13 nightly with SElinux set to enforcing. I removed root and bam, Safety Net check passes all checks now.
@sakis_the_fraud
My kernel is
.
On pure stock rom with stock recovery without root - SafetyNet is all green, PoGo works.
On stock rom with TWRP without root - SafetyNet is all green, PoGo works.
On stock rom with TWRP and superuser-r266-hidesu - SafetyNet is red (CTS profile match: false), PoGo doesn't work.
My superuser-r266-hidesu config is "eng noverity crypt hidesu".
But as phh asked "/sys/fs/selinux/enforce" is readable on my device, I can open it in SE File Explorer (contains 1). "/sys/fs/selinux/policy" gives me access denied.

Fixed it by setting my superuser-r266-hidesu to verity (was using noverity to be able to mount /system as rw).

Open the superuser-r266-hidesu.zip archive and there is config.txt file. Open it and there are some words "eng verity crypt hidesu" I had it set to "noverity" it has to be "verity". Also root switch app doesn't seem to work with phh's superuser.

I see that the default option is verity, but it isn't passing the CTS profile match for me.

AFAIK "dm verity" has to be on for CTS to pass.
---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------
Is your current phone Sony Z5?
On the Magisk page, there is something about Sony kernels being unpatchable, maybe that is the problem why your phone does not boot while trying it with dm verity on?
Sony devices generally: Sony devices seems to use ELF kernel that is unpatchable, or some has two ramdisks (inner + outer), both requires different workarounds, if you know any addition quirks about Sony boot image modifications, please contact me

something is tipping cts, we are searching to find it.
@Jayster06 check here
Something is tripping CTS, if it was on /system, why it isn't reported with stock kernel?
If you are rooted, the checker reports that the response validation failed, so it's not the root.
here are the configurations I have tried so far...

[Q] Can't really activate any modules

Hi all,
I have a problem. I'm using an OnePlus 5 and I can't use Xposed. I have just tried those 2 things. I have magisk updated to 14.0
1) I installed the version 09-09-2017 by dvdandroid, then I installed 26-07-17 v87 sdk25 by PurifyOs, all seems OK xposed tells that is installed and working, so I try to download some modules, activate them, reboot, but when I try to use them they tell me "please activate the module", I tryed clearing cache and dalvik, reinstalling so many times but nothing.
2) So I removed the PurifyOs one, and wanted to try to install the systemless one. I open Xposed, press install, it auto flashes from TWRP but there is a message error "dev/magisk/mirror/bin is not setup properly". So I try to download it as a module from magisk, try to install but gives the same error.
Can you help me? Thanks

I couldn't activate any modules either, even though framework was green/good.
I re-installed my ROM and re-did the Xposed setup, ensuring I was using the CORRECT files.
Such as for Magisk Xposed vs. non-Magisk Xposed.
It's working now.

I'm not sure how the OnePlus works in comparison to my Moto G4, but I had the same problem with 7.1.x. I couldn't get Xposed to work on any roms running Nougat. Went and installed an AOSP marshmallow rom and Xposed is working very well. My advice would be to downgrade to marshmallow. It's definitely worth the Xposed compatibility because even if you do get that aspect of it going, many modules don't support nougat yet. I was reluctant when I first heard this, but I' don't regret my decision at all. I'm running 12 modules right now with no issues at all and loving it. Hope this helps.

Not able to Install Magisk Modules

I have successfully installed Magisk on my device Root works but when I try to install a magisk module I get an error about not being able to mount magisk.img. When I try to install through recovery the module is flashes without any errors but once you open the app It displays "no modules installed". Before the G5s plus that I have a had the Moto G5 Plus. It had the same problem I just had to install another kernel over stock one and Magisk would work as expected. Is there a kernel for stock room that would support Magisk. Anyone else had this problem or is it just me?
ive no issue installing modules through magisk. Theres a lot of factors here. You didnt mention but id presume you installed magisk through recovery. Also, I presume you installed xposed. Maybe the modules your using require xposed to work. I forgot the exact steps to install xposed through magisk, but its not hard, and Id assume anyways you tried all of that. Have to flask xposed through recovery if I remember, then you can install xposed app apk too through recovery, then open magisk and install the latest xposed there. Im not using a stock rom, however Im fully confident if you properly rooted, and unlocked your phone of course, (I assume you did, just saying) its not a kernel issue. Sorry if I wasnt any help, its all i can think of right now.
When I got the phone I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. When I set up my device I went back to recovery to install Magisk 14.3. It installed correctly and I got root using Magisk but when I try to install any module through the Magisk app I get an error. If I got you right should I try to install Xposed too? I was planning to install Xposed, Magisk version. But when I try that I get an error. I have attached a screenshot of when I try to install Xposed by topjohnwu and Greenify for Magisk. I get the same error.
well, xposed may not be your issue if you cant install any module with magisk manager. The modules, majority of them, if not all of them, i dont know, do not require xposed. Some do, most do not. Now please keep in mind, i could be wrong. I would say this, no harm in installing xposed, its basically a must get anyways for many awesome apps/modules. How you install, first install the xposed manager, youll have to look around for it, its not on the play store. Then downkoad magisk xposed through magisk. Once you download that zip file boot into twrp and install xposed through twrp.
This is a youtube on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCcvsOp83A4 Now thing is, this may not fix any of your problems. But theres a chance it may. Like i said either way you want xposed on rooted phones anyways.
Patched kernel for stock. I have no problem running modules on Magisk. Flash in recovery.

Magisk V16 can't install on Android 5.0

Has anyone has success in installing this on Android 5.0 samsung S4 ? I followed the instructions and the manager just says not installed.

What details would you like to know? I flash it and then later restart but the manager was not there so I tried to install it from saving the apk file that I downloaded. But it just said it was not installed and later I found out I lost root from trying to flash Xposed on my phone.
I am very new to this and tried to follow the tutorials and videos but its not working cause I thought using Magisk I can install the seamless Xposed.
Those recovery/installation logs would be a good start.
You're muddling up the details a bit...
Was the Manager not installed or did it report that Magisk wasn't installed? And you lost root? But you said you couldn't install Magisk... Are you already rooted? That might cause issues.
Being nice and clear and detailed (what is being flashed, version numbers, what's already done, what works, what doesn't work, with logs, etc) in your descriptions would help.

I hope this is clearly for you!
1. I flash the file with TWRP with success
2. The phone got stuck on samsung logo
3. Root was removed.
4.I had to re flash stock and it is working again.
5. How do I get the logs of Magisk if my phone keeps looping?
I wanted to use Magisk to see if Xposed would work but it looks like i can't even get Magisk to work on my samsung i9500 with original rom. This same thing happens with Xposed where everything goes smoothly with flashing it in recovery and then a boot loop on the logo. Others on this forum have been complaining about this too and perhaps the developer might have not considered odexed rom like samsung for these wonderful apps to work?
I am going back to Kitkat where i don't have these issues and I can use Xposed.

infinity rom.
magisk v18 and also newer test canary builds.
but prety sure its an issue where you don't wait 3 minutes after rebooting before doing actions that require root.
and not sure to which extent you tried to make magisk work with various files and mods but maybe you should just factory wipe and try and get magisk working before anything else. also mayke sure busybox is installed. and dont forget that 3 minute rule after a reboot.

Thanks im sure it maybe an magisk issue im running 17.3 because i kept losing root on v18. I acquire root with v4a but it freezes and then keeps telling me to reinstall driver after reboot. I will try the 3 minute rule though..thank you. You installed v4a directly thru magisk or flashed a different version?

Thank you appreciate your help i will give it a try
I have tried everything for hours to get viper4android to work with no avail until now. Go to the xda download page and select the beta version. Boom. It works. I know you might have long forgot this or already figured it out but I had to share
old legacy magisk module has been working for months and months.
