1. Follow Motorola's instructions to
unlock the bootlader.
2. Flash TWRP 2.8.5 with fastboot.
3. Flash latest SuperSU with TWRP.
4. Enjoy

Well, flashing with TWRP only worked for me on KitKat, it stopped working for 5.02, but what I did was used auto root for Lollipop, I was told this is the only supported method for this device on Lollipop, are you still on 4.4.4 or did you receive the OTA 5.02?
And as you are trying Auto Root, are you sure you are choosing the correct one for your device, it took me an hour or so to ensure that it was the correct one, I analysed all the tags and compared them with my version, there was a few for my device so I had to make sure everything matched.
This is the one I used, it works but best check if it fits your device: download(dot)chainfire(dot)eu/603/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-titanumtsds-titanretaildsds-xt1068.zip
You need to add the http protocol and replace (dot) with .
It won't let me post links.

After the flash was successful with TWRP, I launched the SU app and it said something along the lines of 'SuperUser is not installed correctly' I used the exact same method as I did on KitKat, I then learned that this is no longer the way of rooting the device on Lollipop, I installed TWRP for nothing.

After rooting via TWRP 2.8.5.0 try to change the mode with SELinux Mode Changer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux&hl=de

There was and is only one correct way to install SuperSU regardless of lollipop or kitkat
· Flash TWRP 2.8.5 with fastboot.
· Flash latest SuperSU with TWRP.

Chainfire himself is strictly against changing SELinux. That's why he had to invest so much time and even bought a Moto G (2014) so he can fix any error resulting of enforced SELinux. SuperSU 2.45 was the result of his investigation into the XT106x.

CR Auto Root is the only method that worked for me since the lollipop update, I tried the SU zip with TWRP, i t was successful, however the SU app just displayed an error message saying that if wasn't installed correctly.
I did exactly the same thing as before, the only thing that changed was the new update.

Thx for that info. Didn´t heard that and if Chainfire said so it´s better to follow that.
And btt,flashing TWRP 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 with latest superSU (2.46 at the moment) should work with 5.0.2 without any other variations.

[Q] Xposed on I537 running Lollipop OC6

I have an S4 Active I537 which I recently installed the rooted OC6 Lollipop firmware. I have been having a hard time trying to get the framework to install. I got the xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip file from here. I understand that I need to recovery install it. I tried doing the volume up, power and home trick to get into the recovery mode and from there I select "apply update from external storage". It fails and gives the message: "E: footer is wrong. E: Signature verification failed" After that it reboots and automatically performs a recovery format.
I have read that I would need to flash either TWRP or CWM, but apparently none of these are available for the I537.
Any Help?

Use flash fire in lieu of a recovery, we can't use a custom recovery with the locked bootloader. And you can't install any non stock, unofficial software in the stock recovery

Xposed works on our devices (you have to use the special tw version). But it is still an alpha. I have had a lot of issues with FCs and nova launcher not working. I'm trying to make it work total and proper but no luck so far. The replacement gapps in that post for tw Xposed fixed some but not all Google play related FCs but Google play isn't working even after installing the replacement ones here is the link for the tw version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463

ALL Gravitybox features actually do work, as it's under most do not...what I have to do is everytime I make a change, before I reboot I choose battery color and re-apply my color for it. By ending with a feature that works without complication, it seems it then let's the new setup you chose also work. Don't know why this is but everything on my I537 is changed around with GravityBox, took me awhile to figure this out...but trying to figure out which features worked, I was able to get them all to eventually work.

I'm in the same boat as you, except I have xposed framework. What you need is a DEODEXED ROM on it. You use Odin to get on KitKat, root with towelroot, the upgrade to OC6 (not OC7) with a DEODEXED ROM. Then. Once you're in lolipop, install the xposed installer, then the framework with flash fire. One thing though, download all the things you need to your PC because wifi will not work while you are in kitkat, upgrading to lolipop. (At least it didn't for me)

Is this still a better way guys going with OC6 instead of OC7? Can you use the latest Xposed module like 89 or something now?

I rooted my device yesterday with kingroot successfully, but I reverted it and think I will root it this evening with the old known method. I read, that there could be a method to uninstall kingroot after succesfull rooting, and you can install super su over playstore and nuts dualrecovery over pc. Maybe you can try it and say if it works
I have a Problem with kingroot, cause it installs a chinese app, that I dont understand, cause I cannot read chinese. So I reversed root and deinstalled everything from kingroot.
But I think here in xda dev the trust kingroot. I have problems, cause I dont understand chinese I prefer the classical method to root.

I'm rooted and have Xposed : what should i do when there is an OTA update ?

Hi,
So i have a Moto G 2 XT-1068 with Android 5.0.2 and system version 22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.ex.03 reteu.
I rooted it and installed Xposed.
Since some days, my phone notify me that there is a new (official) update avalaible :
22.56.3.en.03
My first reflex was to post in the Xposed forum :
I have a Motorola Moto G 2nd edition (2014 XT-1068) with Android 5.0.2 and these xposed versions installed :
XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-1
This morning, my phone notify me that there is a newsoftware update available :
22.56.3.en.03
Can i update ?
Will Xposed still running or do i have anything to do before or after update ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then :
Yes i'm rooted (i didn't know i could install exposed without root ?!) and i ask the question to rooted users : what is the recommended behavior to have when we are rooted and there is an official update like this one ? Should i ignore it ? Should i wait ? Should i update (with one of your solutions) ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and this is the reply i had :
You'll have to ask how an OTA works for that in your device forum.
For Google Android (untouched by OEM) in Kitkat, OTA used to check each important file individually and if one was modified, OTA would fail. This did not check all existing files or added files such as root, so as long as you uninstalled Xposed properly (restoring the original app_process files etc) then an OTA would be fine.
Since Lollipop, OTA checks the /system partition as a single item so any modification in any file, or any additional file will make the OTA fail. In which case, the only way to update would be to flash a stock ROM.
You will need to find out in your device forum which of these applies to your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So this is it, i make a post in this Moto G 2014 forum

Doing the OTA will most likely delete the XposedBridge.jar so you will have to flash it again.
Else the Xposed app will still be available but the Framework won't be installed.
If it doesn't update because the /system partition has been modified, you'll have to flash the whole rom to update.

Ok, so i can try without risk ?
And what about my root ?

Root will be gone too. You'll have to root it again by flashing SuperSu Zip though a custom recovery. (TWRP)

Restore the nandroid backup of the stock system you made in TWRP before you rooted.
You also need the stock recovery for the OTA to install.
You made a backup of your system before you rooted, right?

I'm note sure i made a backup before i rooted cause i'm note sure i knew i could install recovery without root but i checked my backup plan and my oldest backup is post root
So, what do you recommand when there is OTA like this ? Should i ignore them ?
It seems to be a hard process (flash stock recovery and root again and not sure if it will be possible anyway, is it ?) for maybe a little update ?
Maybe i should wait for the next big OTA like Android 6, then be sure that a new rooting process exist before update, and also be sure that Xposed will be supported ?
So if i ignore this 22.56.3.en.03, will i be notifyed for others newer OTA (like Android 6 for instance) ?
Thanks

You might have to flash the whole stock firmware back to get the stock recovery. Big waste of time.
Then rooting back means using CF Auto Root Commands again..
You have to update to it though if you want Android 6.0.
Since it won't be soon, you rather go for CM13 once it gets really stable.
Also by the way, Xposed is already supported on MM.

Thanks for these precisions.
So if i can resume : a custom rom is easier for enjoy Android updates than just Xposed.

Hi,
Can you confirm :
For someone searching advanced features like customize status bar, quick settings, shutdown menu, hardware buttons, etc : customs roms and "stock rom + exposed" are two solutions. BUT, for someone searching these same advanced features but also keep his device up to date : custom rom is really a better solution. Isn't?
I was happy when i discovered xposed as it seemed to be a easier process that flashing a custom rom, but i didn't know that i couldn't update easily..
So, what is the advantage to use xposed instead of custom rom?

Hi,
I am always thinking if i will update my stock rooted xposed rom, or if i will install a custom rom prerooted like Cyanogen mod (o have easier future updates).
i have some questions :
1- Is it possible to install xposed and modules on a custom rom like cyanogen mod ? I think yes but can you confirm ?
I know that CM come with inbuilt tweaks but i discover some great xposed module i would continue to use, even if i install CM.
2-If i keep my stock rooted xposed rom, and don't make this "little" Android 5 OTA update, will be i notified for "Android 6" ?
(i don't want to lose my time to reflash my rom, reroot mydevice, etc.., just for a little update, but i could do that for a more important update like Android 6...
3- We are agree that if i flash a custom rom like CM, it will resolve my "ota update" problem, cause there won't be "Motorola OTA" anymore, but there will be CM updates easy to make, isn't ? If yes, what could be the advantage to use stock rom rooted + xposed vs custom rom + xposed ?
Thanks

Can install Xposed on Z3 Compact D5833 Lollipop 5.0.2 with blocked bootloader?

Hey guys, this is my first post on xda.
I wonder if it is possible to install Xposed on Z3 Compact D5833 with Lollipop 5.0.2 and blocked bootloader?
I've seen people installing xposed on lollipop 5.1 and marshmallow 6.0, but not on 5.0.2
Sorry for the english, I am from Brazil and using Google Tradutor.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just grab the SDK21, ARM, and try.

Make sure you grab the uninstaller and have it ready on your phone, in case it doesn't work.

I know the problem, I can't install because the read only system mode, mount to rw don't works(using Root Explorer, Total Commander, Root Essentials, ES File Explorer, don't work).
You know how to solve this?

It sounds like you don't have root. You can probably still install Xposed but you'll need to do it from TWRP.
I used this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
I originally intended to unlock my bootloader but after going through that guide I found the 6.0.1 SLIMM ROM and was happy with that.
The DualRecovery that the guide mentions lets you run TWRP with a locked bootloader. That's what I used to install Xposed on my phone.
The guide also mentions a pre-rooted Lollipop image that you could use. It mentions a RICDefeat you may need to flash to mount /system RW (if you're using a stock kernel).
Hope that helps...
