Installing the 5.0.2 OTA while rooted completely and utterly broke my WiFi. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get Wifi to work again. In the end I gave up, and just did a full factory reset from recovery. My recovery version btw is TWRP 2.8.3, and after installing the ZIP ROM update from the first post of this thread TWRP stayed, I didn't have to install it again. So anyways, I let it boot up and then rebooted back to recovery to root on recovery exit, which caused bootloops for a little while until I used Power+VolDown to go back into recovery and installed the SuperSU 2.45 zip from there. NO MORE PROBLEMS! It's just, PERFECT!!! Finally, no more long waits while booting looking at the logo, no more bootloops, and most importantly: by only using the recovery zips to root and never trying to root from the system or allowing it try to update SuperSU from the Play Store, NO WIFI ISSUES, from the very start all is just perfectly functioning, soooo smooth and really fast! FINALLY!!!!!! Really happy here, so remember, for XT1064 TWRP 2.8.3.0, and SuperSU 2.45 should really do the trick. Good Luck!

[Q] XT1060 4.4.4 OTA Boot Loop

TWRP Recovery
Rooted
Xposed framework installed
Been getting bugged for the 4.4.4 update, and I wanted to open and look at the ZIP out of curiosity, so I hit install now, thinking it still needed to download... but turns out it didn't, and rebooted right away.
So now I'm stuck in a boot loop of sorts.... it boots, and loads up Android, and I can use the phone, but after about 20-30 seconds it reboots into recovery.
Is there an easy way out of this without wiping everything? Preferably a modded OTA that I can install for the 4.4.4 update.
Check out the thread under general tab to use RSD Flasher or House of Moto to install the 4.4.4 FXZ

The above post is good advice. If you use House of Moto with the full 4.4.4 FXZ, you can choose to "KEEP DATA".
You will need to flash TWRP back on and re-root afterwards AND re-install Xposed, but all of your apps and settings will remain intact.
The reason this happened is because you have TWRP installed - taking OTAs *always* requires you to have STOCK recovery - not custom.
Good Luck :good:

Thanks for the replies. Thanks for the reply... the phone eventually decided the update failed and gave up. Apparently clearing the cache would've also probably worked.
But, now I've reflashed stock recovery, removed xposed, and unrooted. I should be safe to just take the OTA now, right?
I would've done the FXZ earlier, but didn't realize there was a keep data option.

You can try, and it will probably work....but if it were me, I'd still use the FXZ and keep data option. It's cleaner and no chance of something going wrong. Afterwards, just do like I said -- re-flash TWRP, re-root, then reinstall Xposed.

Great!! Glad to hear everything worked out. I sent you a Private message - check your PMs
Just to add my experience: I too tried to apply the update (rooted, 4.4.2, xposed, stock recovery, locked boot loader).
Got the boot loop you mentioned.
Only remedy was for me to quickly go into root explorer and rename the 3c.ota.apk and 3c.ota.odex files. Now I no longer get the notifications (unless I reboot my phone).

And in your case, it was Xposed.
There are several threads (and posts) discussing conditions for taking an OTA. You need stock recovery, have to disable Xposed, and you need to be close enough to stock so the pre-flash verification will pass. Otherwise, the OTA will fail, and/or you'll get stuck in a boot loop.
There is a little more to it as well, but I'll ask you to see the other threads.
Thought I disabled xposed. But perhaps not. I've read other threads. From my understanding, I won't be able to root (or even the quasi-root) on 4.4.4 with a locked boot loader.
Thx for the reply.

[Q] Recovery forever! does not boot system

My phone is stuck on recovery whatever I do.
D410 V10C BOUGHT ON UAE(CM12 BY QUARX)
Here is what I did.
first I reverted to lg stock which is rooted (using my backup from twrp)
then I downloaded the software update(lollipop)
then play clash of clans a bit XD
download was done
then I was asked to install it now or later
I tapped now.
then I was hoping that it will install all by itself (like i'll just wait for 2 reboots that is expected)
but that did not happen
what happened was that the phone rebooted and rebooted to twrp. and nothing happens.
I can use the twrp though
Please help me I need a working phone.... I'm not rushing you guys but please if someone can ASAP.
What i tried so far.
I tried to restore my backup again.
but still every time i reboot i just keep on going on the recovery
why is that? how can i fix that? can I fix that on my phone only? or do i really need a computer.
will flashing kdz help me?
THANKS FOR ANY REPLY!!!
I WILL HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT PROMISE.

Hi, i did the same mistake, tried to install the v10d update to v10b rom with root and twrp installed on my d405n. This guide helped me, but a dev should confirm it too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 , i used the twrp built-in terminal method. I am not responsible if you brick your device (for e.: if you make any mistake in the script). Good Luck! After the procedure i wiped evrything in twrp, the i installed a clean rom.

[Q] Xposed not running L90 D415 5.0.2

Greetings, all. I'm a big fan of using Xposed modules for my phone, especially YouTube Adaway but since I upgraded via kdz to 5.0.2 this evening I can't get Xposed to run even after reboot using the apk found in the Xposed lollipop thread. I tried to check the log files to be able to post the output here but it won't read those either. Has anyone been able to get this to work and if so, how? Any help is greatly appreciated as the main reasons I root is for ad blocking and titanium backup

My bootloader is still locked so to my knowledge there's not a way to flash a zip without a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM and the like). Maybe I read the thread wrong and you had to both flash the zip and install the apk
Edit: Yes, that is correct, I read it wrong. The zip must be flashed for the framework to install. Is there a way to flash a zip without a custom recovery? This is the first phone I've had with a locked bootloader, all the other ones I just installed a recovery from here and ran/modded it

The L90 of D415 has a unlocked bootloader by deafult, I never unlocked mines and flashed recovery, Just flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/recovery-twrp2-7-1-0lgl90w7xxshoxx-t2826150 using Flashify, download the img and open Flashify and select flash recovery then select that image and in that app you should be able to reboot to recovery to flash the xposed zip. Since I've never tried it I dont know how well xposed runs on stock lollipop remember to backup.

Thank the gods for that then! I am leaving tomorrow on a trip and need my phone fully functional for the duration (hooray GPS) so just to be safe I'm going to hold off on flashing the custom recovery until I get back on Monday and will also flash the Xposed framework then as well and report back. Thanks for the help! I will update this thread after flashing just in case others are looking for this to say whether or not it worked.
Hello,
I was able to get xposed running well on 5.0.2. However i didnt flash stock kdz, I flashed a modified stock ROM found in the development section (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/rom-l90-d415-lollipop-xtreme-v1-0-4-25-t3092813)
After flashing the ROM as described in the link above, i rebooted to recovery. I then flashed the xposed zip file. After that, I wiped cache and dalvik cache (VERY IMPORTANT to avoid any storage errors). Finally I did a normal boot, and it installed perfectly. Hope this helps! Best of luck my friend
Sorry for late response
Turns out my boot loader was in fact unlocked. TWRP through Flashify and then install the zip through there, then install the apk and reboot again. Thank you both so much for the information!

While Xposed installed and worked it also soft bricked my phone in that I kept getting "unfortunately com.android.phone stopped working". Not sure if it's the program itself or the fix memory leak module I installed. Thankfully I had a backup right before I flashed that zip and it appears my phone is working again. Not sure if I will try to install it again without the memory leak patch or not. Thoughts?

Sadly, this also led me to restore my stock, modded KK backup. What I found to be a temporary fix is to wipe cache/data for the phone apk as well as the SIM Toolkit, then reboot. It appears fixed for some time, but then reappears. This problem seems to arise whenever you use wifi or mobile data, and goes away when you switch them off (at least that was my experience).
I think that the main culprit is the Xposed framework itself. I was told by others it's not fully compatible on stock LP for the L90, but still tried it either way. I got too many mods I like to not use Xposed, so I rolled back to kk. If you can live w/o Xposed then try LP with no framework and see what happens. Best of luck!

How sad I will continue to monitor the Xposed threads then to see if/when it's fully functional with stock Lollipop.
I was in panic mode with my phone yesterday not working because it happened right when my car decided to also quit working so I saw those possible fixes as well and neither worked. Thankfully I backed up through TWRP right before I flashed the Xposed zip so that save my butt,

Requesting some help :)

Hello Everyone!
I am new, my name is rohan and I have my eyes on the Xposed framework. I wanted to download some cool apps but i realized i needed Xposed framework. I own a Samsung Galaxy S5, Android 5.0, It has an ARM32 chip or something like that and i am a huge fan of Xposed now. So i didn't realize until now...I download TWRP, created a recovery and then i downloaded the .zip file for Xposed's framework to be installed. I was using TWRP and flashed the file via recovery but then my phone was starting, remained on the "samsung" (the blue dots like some fireworks) and never went beyond it. Could i get some help on this? Is this the BootLoop?...
Also, I don't know how to recover my phone too, it was also a rooted phone -- i forgot to do a backup for it...So any chances my phone will work again? Currently i have an S6 Edge - SM-G925F. But no plans to root the big boy yet.

First of all: facepalm. A backup is mandatory if you flash any file through recovery. Always, no excuses.
Concerning your problem: you are encountering a bootloop... maybe. How long did you wait until you decide to abort the boot process? The first boot after flashing takes some time. If you have waited more than ten minutes, download the uninstaller.zip from the Xposed thread and place it on your SD card. Boot into recovery via key combo (use Google to find out about this). Then flash the uninstaller.zip and wipe cache&dalvik. Reboot and you might have your phone back running.
Another hint: after flashing the Xposed framework, it is recommended to wipe cache&dalvik.

Maybe i clearly did not explain it, after the flash success from TWRP 2.8.70 i used the re-boot option and then it got boot-looped from there i suppose. And you recovery mode, the recovery mode is still the odin download recovery mode, i ended up restoring the 4.4.2 firmware for now on my S5.
Plus, the issue is fixed - mod lockdown requested.
Closed at OP's request.

Help needed - Samsung J5-sm10fn (touchwiz) stuck booting into TWRP recovery

So I tried installing Xposed Framework by flashing it's ROM, but after I did it, I rebooted my phone, but every time I do it, it always boots into TWRP recovery. I tried fixing it by looking in the setting and I used a backup I made before doing all this crap and I restored, but my phone still boots only into TWRP recovery mode. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me. Thanks.
PS. My phone is rooted and it has TWRP

Is it possible that you used the wrong Xposed for your device or SDK version? I can't imagine that restoring a backup didn't fix it. Did you try wiping system in TWRP first?
Things you can try:
- Flash the "Xposed Uninstaller" zip file in TWRP, which should always be on your device when you are flashing new versions of Xposed.
- Reflash TWRP in Odin. This should fix a recovery loop.
- Wipe system, data, dalvik, cache in TWRP, then try restoring your backup.
- As a last resort, you can download the latest stock firmware for your device from the sammobile site, flash it in Odin, let it boot once, reflash TWRP, wipe in TWRP and restore your backup (if you were running a custom rom you liked or something), then flash the correct Xposed for your device & android version.
Hope this helps!

Hello. I already tried zipping the uninstaller for xposed but it did nothing, I also tried wiping dalvik cache and all, but no luck. I also think that my backups are just not functional. Now I'm left to just reflashing TWRP and if that doesn't work I'll have to flash the original stock firmware for my phone. I have spent already 2 days with constant searching for ways to fix my phone and not being able to do other things because this has been taking up my time and my patience, so I really appreciate every bit of fixing my phone that I get. Since I am new to all this I would be very grateful if you could send me the links to the correct files for my device and also give me a tutorial on what to do. As I appreciate any support, so I'm thankful for you helping me But until then my device is still not able to boot regulary but rather boots to TWRP

Update:
I fixed my phone, and here's what I did, so if anyone is new here with the same issue I had, I hope this can help you. So first of all as I said I kept booting to TWRP, later I tried reflashing TWRP, but I remembered that I missed something in ODIN, so I just pulled the cord and my screen after rebooting just said something along the lines of "An unexpected error occurred while updating software, please recover using Samsung Smart Switch." after that, I tried Samsung Smart Switch, but it was no luck for me, so then I used the last resort. I went on sammobile.com, I searched stock firmware for the exact model I had and then I checked the stock firmware that was available. Since I'm from Latvia, I picked the Baltic region, then I downloaded the latest stock firmware. After a long time, I downloaded the file, and I checked the instructions on how to flash it, I flashed the stock firmware, and then my problem was fixed, my phone was working again and now I have Android 7.1.1 as I used to have Android 6.0.1 and I had ZERO file loss However as you flash the stock firmware, TWRP get "flashed" out and same with root if you have it, and in that case if you want TWRP and root again, I highly suggest Meziani's YoutTube channel, because he gives simple and working tutorials on how to do it I'm glad if this helped anyone.
