Unlocked bootloader but ROOT doesn't work? Help please!

I really don't know where I went wrong. I recently lost my Nexus 4 and decided to try an HTC One. I've rooted before with my N4 but yet I'm having problems this time.
Unlocked bootloader fine, TWRP installed perfectly fine... Downloaded the SuperUser from AndroidSU.com and installed it through my phones main screen. Then downloaded root checker but it says I'm not rooted... So I wiped my phone, installed the SU via TWRP instead and still the same problem.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing? I don't want to fully set up my phone until it's rooted and I pick my new ROM.
Thanks

Boot into twrp, Click "reboot' then click "system" It will then say "swipe to fix root" do that, as soon as the phone boots up, pull down the status bar and click the supersu installer, it will ask you how you want to install it, click the "play" option. after it installs, open up "supersu" if it asks to update the binary, say yes and choose the "normal" install. then you can run root checker and it should say your ooted, remeber to "Grant" when the popup comes up asking you for super user permission....

If your plan is to install a custom Rom anyways, just skip rooting. Most custom roms are rooted already.

Swipe to fix root doesn't show up. Just reboots automatically. Superuser won't even unistall now. Every time I wipe and restart it's still there. I don't understand how it's even there but yet I don't have root access... .
Too the other guy, you're saying I can just skip this bull**** and download CM or any other ROM and it won't mess up my phone for not having proper root?

Recoveries have root access, that's how they can edit /system. If you just flash your Rom like normal it will be rooted, provided that it's a Rom that's already rooted. Which 90% of them are. What you're trying to do now is root the stock Rom, which really doesn't make sense if you're just gonna install a Rom that's already rooted anyway.

[Q] MagicJack issue with 4.4 KitKat (still)

Alright, so I posted a thread a while back regarding how MagicJack crashes on my HTC One (M7). I simply open the app, it remains on a black screen for about 5 seconds then it crashes.
I am on ARHD 61.1.
I have tried all of these solutions:
-reinstall the app from Playstore
-reinstall the app from another source
-reinstall the app from both of the above with autosync off
-installed an earlier version of the app
-flashed the following roms: ARHD, Viper, Maximus (same issue on all roms)
-did a full wipe of my phone from TWRP
-reflashed ARHD again, and this is where I am at now
So I even took the extreme routes and it still didn't help. It simply just doesn't work with my phone.
Can anyone help me out with fixing this problem?
I have link of the logcat of when I try to open up MagicJack... http://pastebin.com/Gb90s8AH

Sorry for double posting.... this is the last time. If no one has any ideas this time then I'll give it up.

So I had a problem like this earlier, the issue was that everytime I installed a new rom, one of the first things I did was install Android Tuner and let that app install a lot of tweaks to speed up the system, and some of the tweaks in the build.prop caused a certain app to keep crashing because it kept running out of memory. Have you installed any tweaks after flashing any of the roms?

Well first I was on ARHD 52. MagicJack didn't work, so I figured it was an issue with ARHD.
When ARHD 53 came out a couple of days ago, it STILL didn't work. At that point I figured something must have been wrong.
(I do install the ElementalX kernel (specifically for double tap to wake, I keep everything else at stock.)
But this time, I completely wiped my phone. I installed a fresh ARHD 61.1, and I tried out MagicJack BEFORE I installed ElementalX again. Turned out, MagicJack still didn't work.
So other than ElementalX, I do not install any tweaks.

Well that's odd,sometimes a clean install of a rom is still not enough to make a certain problem go away. I had issues with a specific base, when I install 4.19.401.8 base, I can't sign in to Google, but when I install a newer or older base, the problem is gone. Now if I were to install the same base over and over again the problem would resurface in a different base. So I decided to use the stock AT&T RUU and start over. The RUUs usually restore nearly everything. So I think you should give that a try. And if you can try to run an RUU exe, not a zip.

Problem with that is... I have a Latin American International HTC One with a CID which is not supported by any RUU.
So I SuperCID'd to 11111111, and none of the RUUs seem to work.
(so I'm probably not selecting the correct RUU)
But tell you what. I'm going to do another wipe. I'm going to start again from the beginning with a new TWRP, new rom, and new everything.
If at this point MagicJack is STILL not working, then I'm literally out of ideas and I'll try RUUing.

Okay so I formatted and wiped my entire again, and I flashed a new TWRP, and I had no OS installed (nearly bricking my device). I installed a clean ARHD 61.1, and everything was from the beginning. I didn't sync any account, I didn't add the Google account either.
All I did was download Root Explorer, and installed a MagicJack.apk I downloaded from another source. It STILL didn't work. wtf
At this point, I'm going to assume that MagicJack needs to update their app and that it's not my phones fault.
It's just weird because for other people it works on ARHD 61.1.

The RUU might not work if your device is unlocked, you'll have to re-lock the bootloader to use an RUU.exe. But guess what, I decided to find the app and install it myself to see what's going on and I have the same issue. I'm running 4.19.401.11 base, the rom is my own and I have Elemental X kernel, so I think it's just the developers messing up here.

Ohh, so you're getting a black screen and just having the app crash too? Then yeah... the developers messed up.
Guess all that wiping went nowhere... at least I have a fresh start though. (didn't mean it to sound disgusting)

Yeah I'm sure they'll get it fixed.

I awaiting a fix for this problem as well. It sucks that magicjack doesnt seem to be working on sense roms. I have this same problem when I was using 4.3 as well but only on sense roms.

Same problem here on ARHD 53. I open Magic Jack, get the black screen for 10-20 seconds, then it exits. I wouldn't call it crashing because I don't get any error displayed.
I tried clearing data plus uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times and it always gives this result.
Is there anyone who has been able to get Magic Jack to work with the M7?

magicJack has been finally fixed, but only on the newest InsertCoin roms. I really wish Android Revolution HD would fix the problem as well since I prefer it over the former...

But, Android Revolution HD 81 has fixed the magicJack issue!! (for me at least) I simply flashed the zip, and installed with Sense 6 Toolbox. So I can finally remotely use my magicJack app.

[Q] Can't activate Framework, no matter what I try!

Hi All,
After a recent flash of ARHD 71.1 (HTC One M7), I cannot get the Framework to work. I just get the message ""The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot?" I've tried:
uninstalling the framework then re-installing by downloading the apk.
disabling all Xposed modules and re-installing the framework
uninstalling the framework and installing an older version
installing the unstable beta version of the framework
disabling/re-enabling permissions in SuperSU
In the 'Framework' tab of the app, the 'app_process' and 'XposedBridge.jar' both show a red line under the 'active' column. The bundled counts are 58 and 54 respectively.
The modes I'm trying to use are:
Advanced Power Menu
Boot Manager
Hide Xposed IME
Network Speed Indicator
Sense 6 Toolbox
Swiftkey Goodness on More Fields
XDual Statusclock
Xposedstatues Text
YouTube AdAway
I've had various Xposed mods working before I updated ARHD, so I have no idea what's going wrong now.
Possibly relevant:
I could never get Sense 6 toolbox to work from within ARHD, even before I started adding other mods:
My first install of Xposed was via Aroma at the same time as I installed ARHD 71.1.
I hope somebody can help me here!
Thanks

As far as I know, I'm not running a CM ROM. Anyway, I'm not getting FCs.
Apart from that, obviously it won't work if the conditions mention above aren't met, e.g. if your phone isn't rooted

Yes, of course it's rooted!
Does Xposed get disabled if I flash a new ROM? Yes, because the file it modifies, /system/bin/app_process, is part of every ROM and will be overwritten when you flash a ROM. However, as long as you don't wipe data, the Xposed Installer app will still be installed, so you can just click on "install/update" again in the Framework section and reboot.

Xposed was installed with the new ROM via Aroma, so this isn't relevant.

The FAQ doesn't end there - there 8 additional posts. If those don't help, post your Xposed logs after a reboot.

Hi Germain,
Yes, I've read them all. But none of the other FAQs are anything to do with getting the Framework functioning.
I've just gone into the Framework tab, hit 'update/install' which has cased a reboot (as designed) and now I've gone into the Logs section, but the only message there is 'Log Is Empty'.
I'm wondering if the fact that I'm running the ARHD version of Sense 6 toolbox is causing problems? I presume this would only work if Xposed is installed (via Aroma at the same time as I flashed the ARHD ROM), but perhaps it's a 'standalone' version of Sense 6 toolbox? Just reading back that last sentence makes no sense to me, but then I'm open to any possibilities at this stage!
One of my mods is APM (Advanced Power Menu), and I've noticed that there is a special Xposed Installer quoted in an APM post specifically for the Sony Xperia. Might there be any special installer for the HTC One that I'm not seeing anywhere?

Is S-On active and have you tried installing the framework using the recovery?

GermainZ said:

S-On is active.
Before installing via recovery - I think I should do a COMPLETE uninstall of the Framework, but not from within the app itself, as that hasn't seemed to work. Any ideas of how to do that?

Excellent! But I'm not sure how to install and apk using recovery. I know how to flash a zip, but not an APK. I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.3. Do I need to use the adb sideload feature and install if from my laptop?
Sorry for this noob question!

Change the installation method in the Xposed Installer's settings.

Hi GermainZ,
I had to get back on board my cruise ship before your last post so my apologies for taking so long to reply. In the end, I did a complete re-flash of ARHD 71.1 and rebooted twice (just to make sure) before attempting to activate and xposed mods. This seems to have done the trick. One of the mods doesn't seem to be working at the moment, so I plan to de-activate them all, reboot, then activate them one-by-one, rebooting in between each. I've read that this is sometimes necessary. If I have any further problems I will of course post again but, for now, thank you very much for your time and help.

Help - I'm stuck on Xposed install

I have a Verizon HTC One M8 (rooted, S-Off, TWRP, unlocked bootloader) that I have finally upgraded from 4.4.4 to 6.0. To prevent any possible radio problems I read about I did a factory reset from the bootloader screen to ensure a fresh install. After making sure that the Marshmallow worked fine I flashed the ARM framework 85 through TWRP and then installed the Xposed app. Now I am stuck where it is not working and I have searched but could not find anyone with the same problem here. I'll include a screenshot so that you know what I mean.

I had the same problem the first time I upgraded from Kit Kat to Marshmallow. My problem was that when I upgraded I reflashed the same modules that I had been using on Kit Kat..I found the modules that weren't working, uninstalled them, then re-installed the appropriate versions for Marshmallow (enabled the modules and rebooted) and everything worked great.. if this applies to you then give it a shot.

As far as your screenshot everything is working perfectly
I'm assuming that perhaps the unusable install/update and uninstall buttons maybe confusing you. That's normal those buttons no longer do anything they are only eyecandy at this juncture.
All versions must (at this time) be installed in Custom Recovery for those three functions. I hope I'm understanding your issue

XPOSED Framework Install - Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 (OF1) Flashfire

I've been reading thousands of forum entries on how to install the xposed framework for my device and I can't seem to get it. They all end the same way -- stuck at the Verizon logo screen.
I am using a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 on stock Lollipop (5.0.1). I only have the stock bootloader thanks to it being locked before I laid hands on the device, but I do have Flashfire, Root, SuperSU. Each time I fail, I use ODIN to flash I545VRUGOF1_I545VZWGOF1_I545VRUGOF1_HOME.tar and try again.
I have tried using a deodexed rom by flashing the above with ODIN, then using Flashfire to OTA update: I545_OF1_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM.zip
Next, install the XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
I then tried flashing:
xposed-v71-sdk21-arm-arter97-V6-snapdragon
xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon
xposed-v86-sdk21-arm
They all result in freezing on the Verizon logo during boot.
I can flash xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430-arter97 on to the deodexed rom and it will work, but the Xposed Installer says it's not the most recent and all modules yield the same error:
This module requires a newer XposedBridge version (30) and thus cannot be activated.
Then I try with the stock rom (odexed).
I can flash:
xposed-v71-sdk21-arm-arter97-V6-snapdragon
xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon
xposed-v86-sdk21-arm
Without a crash; So long as the XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk is not installed. If I install the XposedInstaller then try to flash, it hangs on the Verizon logo during boot.
Finally, if I flash the zips first, then reboot and install the XposedInstaller it will yield me the same result of not the most recent version and I get the requires newer bridge for all modules.
Because it's an S4 there are hundreds of forums and guides, but I can't find one that applies to me. That makes me either the worst internet researcher in the world -- or I'm missing something so obvious that it's embarrassing...well, humiliating.
Can anyone offer a suggestion? ...and yes, I've read every read only forum to the last line and every XDA Lollipop forum. I've reflashed my phone almost two dozen times trying different suggestions with absolutely no luck.

I was having similar issues trying to get xposed on 5.0.1.
Long story short I gave up and flashed 5.1.1 onto my Note 4 and used wanam's custom xposed framework.

Galaxy S4
I don't believe there is a stock 5.1 firmware for the Galaxy S4. More importantly, I have to believe you can install Xposed on the S4. I just hate feeling like I'm missing something so simple!!

That went faster than I expected. Going to give it a flash now.

Well, thank you for the effort.
It flashed very quickly and then rebooted without a problem, but the Xposed Installer still shows, "The Xposed framework is not installed. Please download the latest ZIP file from XDA and flash it manually via recovery." and all the modules say, "..requires a newer XposedBridge version (30) and thus cannot be activated".
I don't suppose you'd be willing to use FlashFire to make a full backup (minus your cache, of course) to share?

Hello.
Can anyone explain the steps to install Xposed framework on the Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-i545, rooted with stock ROM 5.0.1? I found and downloaded the two files noted in krusherkills123's post, but Flashfire only shows the XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4 under "Flash firmware package" where it brings up a blank "Partitions" screen and no options.
I used Flashfire to flash the other file, xposed-v85.0-samsung-5.0.x-sdk21-test-by-dkcldark.zip, which I hated to do since I have no idea what it actually does. Since I don't know what it does, I can't confirm that flashing it was successful.
Any help would be appreciated.

Same question here, rooted Verizon S4 I545VRSGPL1, can I install xposed? This is stock rom, rooted with kingroot then cleaned to use SuperSU
People have done with OF1, not sure about PL1, but they are not far apart
Thx!
