Hi guys. I'm going to apologize in advance that I am a noob when it comes to hacking and rooting. I've successfully gained root access to my Verizon LG G2 using my computer. I used originally used an app called G2 Tweaksbox that allows you to change a lot of things about the phone. But then I wanted to try the famous CM 11. I did the tutorial on youtube, but I didn't install the GAPPS zip. Then I rebooted my phone and now it became stuck on the LG startup screen but looping over and over again. I've tried to hard reset it but it won't work. Is there any possible way to fix this, because I used another family members upgrade to get this phone after I broke my last one? Please don't judge but please help me if you can.:crying::crying::crying:

If you did a nano backup then restore that if not you are going to have to do the revert back to stock. But for your information for later on. If you install xposed with any modules. Make sure to properly Uninstall all them before you change roms or make any changes
One last thing the official cm rom is no longer supported. No one to work on the g2 anymore

Why would you need to uninstall Xposed modules? Everything gets wiped anyway.

I had issues with my phone messing up if I kept xposed with modules installed still when I did clear all and installed a rom. Not sure why but I Uninstall now and no issues anymore. I actually lost knock on once leaving xposed installed. I confirmed it with going back to my nano Uninstalling xposed and knock on worked fine

That's an odd one since Xposed runs in /system. Were you wiping /system and /data without restoring anything on a clean install?

Yeah I downloaded xposed and I got the latest module for support. I had no idea that you needed to delete them after you wanted to download a new ROM. Okay so do I fix this? My phone is stuck looping on the LG bootup message and the only way I can stop it is by hard reseting it and that just turns it off. How do I access it on my computer and reflash the stock? Please help.

Once your phone is off, hold up and plug it in to your computer. This should put you in download mode. Hopefully you have all the drivers installed...

Hi,
I seem to have managed to bootloop my Nexus 5. Yesterday I updated my Nexus to Android Lollipop (through the system update), I rooted it with CF-Root. All working well after.
However, I noticed that xposed was not activated. So I pressed on uninstall with the intention to install again. As soon as it rebooted, the device got a bootloop.
What should I do?
I tried the xposed-disabler fix but to no avail.
Thanks,
Immortali
Flash stock firmware again. I'm sure stock images are available in the N5 section.
Also, Xposed is not compatible with Lollipop so don't try to install it again unless you want to recover from another bootloop.

Dies that mean that I will lose all data and need to reinstall all apps again?

I don't have an N5, but you should be able to just flash /system leaving your data intact.
If you ask in the N5 section I'm sure someone there will help you.

You can save your data!
If you know how to flash the stock image (If not, let me know), you can just look at the "flash-all" file and search for: "fastboot -w update image-hammerhead-<VersionCode>.zip".
Then, just delete the "-w" (W stands for Wipe).
After that you can just flash with no fear, all of your data will be kept.
If you don't know how to flash a stock image or you know another way to do so that is not giving you the option to not wipe everything form your device, let me know and I'll send you a guide (well, actually, I will translate you a guide from another language ).
Hope I helped and sorry for my English

I'll try that
I did something else:
I did a Nandroid backup, Flash Stocked and then restored the data part only. It is still in the bootloop, therefore I am presuming that the data is actually corrupted.
Can I edit a nandroid backup that is saved on my pc and remove xposed from it?
I think teh lesson here is when moving from one version of Android to another you should do a clean install, either that or just dirty flash over the after a system wipe. Either way I struggle to see how this is an Xposed issue..

Please note that even without the -w flag, if it flashes over userdata.img then that's a wipe.

I didn't knew that actually, what exactly does it wipes?
And still it's pretty much the best you can do... I think
Argh, did exactly the same with the same result. So it's an XPosed issue.
Installed Lollipop OTA on my Nexus 7 WiFi 2013 with XPosed installed. Everything fine and running for a few days.
A few hours ago I decided to remove the XPosed framework from inside the XPosed installer and rebooted -> bootloop.
Strange that this happens after removing XPosed.

Userdata.img covers the entire data partition including internal SD, installed apps and app data. Flashing Userdata.img is equivalent to a full data and storage wipe.

All the modifications that Xposed originally made to your system were reverted by the OTA. I'm sure what happened was the Xposed installer held onto backups of the system files it had modified. When you "uninstalled" Xposed it replaced some proper Lollipop system files with backups that came from KitKat. No wonder it bootlooped.
Since it corrupted system files, what you really need to do is reflash the system.img of Lollipop in fastboot. Then it should boot fine without data loss. Then reroot if you want to.

Are you sure about the wipe?
Cuz I think I already used this method once "without wiping" (For sure used it WITH wiping b4 but I'm not sure I also used without..) and if I really used it this way then I'm pretty sure it didn't wiped any of my data (I may be wrong, though, let me know if it's 100% wipes).
Thanks for all the suggestions, I managed to reboot my Nexus 7 without any loss of userdata.
With help of the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.9.8 I flashed the system.img from the razor-lrx21p-factory-ba55c6ab.zip onto my device in bootloader mode. Within 3 minutes I was up and running again.
That's all it takes to fix the bootloop.
Ok, but the question is "What to do to uninstall Xposed after Lollipop Update ?"

You don't do anything. If the update succeeded and your device boots successfully, then the update already removed Xposed.

What doesn't work? The OTA? Lollipop? Xposed?
If you did the OTA and the OS works, then just remove the Xposed Installer app and your Xposed modules. Xposed itself is no longer installed so don't take any further steps.

Xposed don't work under Lollipop.
On my Nexus 5, Xposed is always present but don't work, because ART et not Dalvik.
It has not been uninstalled...

What makes you say Xposed is still there? The files that were patched when you installed Xposed under KitKat have been replaced by the Lollipop upgrade. Hence it's gone.
Is it possible? I can't seem to find anything saying it is.
You can't even use xposed on this phone ..xposed doesn't work in art yet and this phone doesn't have dalvik.
that's probably why op asked for "hiding root without XPosed"

Not only this phone, starting from Lollipop. Dalvik is removed, Xposed dev needs to update Xposed for ART.
Since no one has mentioned this, I just wanted to point out that you can use ART runtime on stock KitKat. I have been using this for a long time and have not had any problems. It is faster in my opinion.

Go to Settings/About Phone
Go to Software Information
Tap the "Build Number" a bunch of times until it says "you are now a developer"
Now go back to Settings and you should find a new "developer options" category
Press Select Runtime and then select ART
Restart the phone, first restart of the phone will take a long time, around 20 minutes for me
Has anyone else tried this?
I changed the settings and the phone restarted, but it stuck with dalvik
Because is just a beta for developers, some aps are going to run fine, maybe some aps are going to use Dalvik, anothers will just crash.

Yep, I do have Xposed installed, thanks!
I've tried installing Xposed several times now with no luck. I install in TWRP, reboot, and then my phone sits on a black screen with the blue light for forever until it goes to the Sprint LTE logo and then just stops there. I end up having to shut my phone down (which won't happen unless it's plugged in to charge), go back into TWRP, and then use the Xposed uninstaller. Then when I reboot, everything loads back up perfectly. I don't really know what's causing this? I apologize as I'm kind of a noob to rooting & such.
I have a Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920P on Android 6.0.1. Any advice?
(The only reason I really wanted to get Xposed is so I could install a module to bypass the root status for Snapchat...lol)

If you running stock 6.0.1 and not a CM ROM you need the specialized one for Samsung. Check this thread:

Don't forget after flashing it you should wipe caches, and it will take a little while to boot the first time after flashing Xposed

The file you sent worked great still can't get into Snapchat though, but that's another issue. RootCloak doesn't do anything for it.

Suhide hides root from snapchat, but Snapchat doesn't want you to have Xposed. There is a work around involving backing up app data on an unrooted, no Xposed phone and restoring that app data on rooted and Xposed phone

I have tried several things and have been unable to get Snapchat to login. I have a backup of a logged in Snapchat from an unrooted device and when I install it onto my rooted phone, the app just logs me out.

Maybe remove Xposed, then unroot, root systemless(at least SR2), root switch, then turn off root and login. Once logged in turn root back on and install Xposed. Should work

I'll try that. I flashed from Odin to wipe everything off and Snapchat works, but I don't have TWRP anymore. Even without Xposed and root, even when I JUST had TWRP, Snapchat wouldn't let me log in. But I'll try what you told me and hope it works

So after a bunch of trouble with my phone, I'm left with what I can only assume are leftover files of Xposed that I didn't get off my phone when I flashed the uninstall file. I'm not rooted and only have TWRP, but Snapchat still refuses to let me login.

I ran the uninstaller for Xposed again and it seems to have wiped the rest of the files because snapchat now lets me login. Now time to follow the instructions you gave me before w/ systemless rooting my NAND is backed up too just in case I screw up again.
