Updated to Android Lollipop, deleted xposed, now bootloop - Xposed General

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.

[Q] Verizon Maintenance Update KXA21.12-L1.26-3

So this morning I got this maintenance update and now I'm being told that an update is available and that this install is differed. When I click on "select to continue update" I'm told my system is up to date. I've already wiped cache, which did not help. Anyone else experiencing this?

Are you unlocked and rooted?
Nope, totally stock Verizon 4.4.4. I'm so far out of the loop, I didn't even know I could unlock and root in the first place.
Anyone have a fxz for this update? I have it too, but I am rooted with twrp.

There does not appear to be an FXZ for this.
You can try flashing stock Recovery.img onto your phone and take it. Unlike other OTA's that failed due to Xposed, this one did not give me any issues installing with Xposed still enabled.
NOTE: I'm unlocked bootloader, rooted, running TWRP, with Xposed instaled (MotoXNetActivity module installed). I haven't made any other modifications. I only run apps that require root like AdFree, wifi tether for root, Root Explorer, etc.

Thanks, I think this answered my questions in the other thread.
Is there a risk to try running the update with stock recovery and other Xposed modules like Gravity Box? Would they fail similarly to a failed system check like I've had in the past for removing/renaming system apps and such?

Here's the download link for the factory image at the usual place: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-mmb29s-factory-6bfcdfa4.tgz
Amazed to see that no one created a thread for this (I guess). I know that this is only a month security bug fixing, but still, sometimes they fix other things beyond that.
If anyone notice more bug fixes (or more bugs!!!) beside the security ones, glad to report.

I tried today with xposed and the new factory, NFC service started crashing (i flashed the new system img without deleting data).
So i rebooted again in twrp, flashed the xposed uninstaller zip, then wiped dalvik/cache, flashed xposed installer, wiped dalvik/cache again. Now it's working fine.

I have problems with the update :crying:
Before updating, I had the phone in "alarms only" mode; I flashed the new factory image, and now I can't disable it anymore! I tried both using the notification pane, and the volume rocker, but the setting doesn't switch off...

Weird issue. I'd try a factory reset.
I figured out how to disable it: I added a rule to enable Do Not Disturb for calendar events, then created an event lasting one minute. At the end of the event, the phone was back to "All notifications"; the toggle works fine now.

No, I don't have Xposed at the moment.
Another minor issue is that WiFi seems to be always on, looking at the battery usage graph, even when it's set to be off (WiFi scanning is disabled), and even when the phone is in airplane mode!
I don't know how to check if it's actually always on, but I noticed this both before and after the latest security update.

Flashable OTA?

When I had my Nexus 5 people would make flashable OTA files to be used in TWRP, is no one doing this any longer? All I can find is how to sideload the OTA.

You have to reflash xposed. It is in the system partition so you will have to redo it after making room as google now fills up the system partition almost completely.

was the systemless updated to work with the new security measures built into the update? You have to remember that with each update google is making things like xposed harder to get working. It is well known that sooner or later xposed all together will no longer be an option.
So I would check all the changes that the update did to see what it changed. I nor most the people I know have not used xposed in a long time so I really cant say for sure

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?

Thank you! I uninstalled Xposed Installer and rebooted. Reinstalled Xposed Installer, rebooted, then flashed the file again. Upon that reboot it did the, "Upgraded file xx of xx" and now it's installed!
I can't thank you enough!

Stock one* I meant
I'm using the stock rom, jfltvzw, 5.0.1
I'm on stang5litre. I'm surprised you got it to work on stock.

Could you provide the steps you used to achieve this? Thanks!
Please explain how to do this.
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!

Trouble with Xposed on Galaxy Note 5

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62377731
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.

Maybe do a factory reset to clear those out and see if snapchat will work

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.
