So i recently installed the Xposed Installer to my rooted Xperia V, running stock JB 4.3 and FW:9.2.A.2.5
Then i naturally wanted to install some modules, but then i saw the prompt saying that in some cases, installation of that could cause a bricked or bootlooped phone. So have any of you guys using the same firmware as I and using Xposed Framework experienced any problems? Or is it 100% safe to install the framework on it without needing to buy a new phone.
Don't want to take the risk before i hear from you, because I don't really have money enough to buy a new phone r8 now, so won't brick my V.

Soft brick means something that happens on your firmware, that mans mostly you dont need to buy a new phone.Just flash stock fw with flashtool and restart again.

Hello,
I'm facing some small problem with my Xperia.
I own this device for 4 days, so please consider me noob (only for this device).
So I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted the phone and installed CWM, but the problem is that it is losing root after every reboot (I have to flash SuperSu libraries each time to fix it).
I've seen a thread about this, how to re-root my phone, however I can't find it anymore.
Could You help me to root my phone permanently?

Flash a pre-rooted 4.3 rom is better

Yeah, I know that's the way but I kind of don't want to change my ROM now, as I would have to set up everything (I know I can leave data, but it may cause FC's).
I also tried existenZ ROM, but it was slower.
I've found some thread about this fix, but it didn't work
Hi,
I have the problem with à Samsung Galaxy i9305. :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/loosing-root-reboot-android-4-3-t2813568
Did you find a solution ?
Thanks.
first, sorry if this has been asked b4, xda/google saeearch didn't find anything.
I need xposed, and I also need root. ( both, root for other things besides xposed.)
just got my moto g2, 4.4.4., and I wanted to know, should I root now, or wait till the 5.0 update and then root? or should I root now and install xposed and not update to 5.0 when it comes out? I read online that there probably will not be xposed fully working on lollipop.
advice anyone?
Root it now, you can aways install the update on your phone, rooted or not.

Only if you want to receive it by OTA, besides that, it doesn't matter if you are fully stock or not.
There are some known issues relocking bootloader and returning to stock at all. In most of all cases it works without problems but not in all. If you can´t get back to stock there still will be future options to get lollipop,by sideloading as a zip though recovery for example,ota is not the only way.
I am still on stock 4.4.4 and will wait for the ota,then relock bootloader and root.The Moto G is the first phone I didn´t root at once because it works really good and has farly not as much crapware as others, so I´m able to wait. But I don´t need xposed desperatly, I badly need Adway,Titanium and some others more.
It´s still not clear if xposed will work under lollipop.
So it´s your choice, it´s up to you. You can stay on Kitkat,root and install xposed. And you can update to lollipop later,when/if xposed is running.
Or you can stay stock,wait for ota and root later wich is my way.
Coming from 2 nexus devices, i can't imagine to have a phone without unlocked bootloader, root, custom rom and kernel, that's the point of android for me, customization
Thanks all for your responses! Much appreciated! Now all i have to do is find some way of rooting the thing, vroot failed- first time ever for me
To root Moto G 4.4.4 you have to unlock the bootloader,install custom recovery and flash superSU.zip.
Just follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/guide-root-moto-g-2nd-gen-2014-t2874245
But use the CWM-recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-cwm-philz-touch-6-moto-g-2014-t2896586
or TWRP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-1-moto-g-2014-t2896165

Hi ! I was searching on Z2 forums and seems like they have managed to Root Z2 with kingroot method on locked bootloader. Its not working on Z1 currently but with some modifications it just might. Its almost the same rom still. I have no experience but someone might just get this working on Z1 too ! Just wanted to let you guys know ! Good luck o/
Here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/root-t3108230
Yes, I asked the question and it seems to be feasible. I'd like to test it but I don't want to mess anything yet because I don't have any backup at the time...
used Kingroot procedure on my Z1 around 5 days ago.......worked fine, came from stock LB 5.01 and now rooted, Superuser, Titanium, and xposed modules all working fine. No bootloops, no strange restarts. Couldn't be happier.
Could you describe precisely what you did? I'm really interested in that! (if that works with Locked Bootloader, everything stock and Lollipop that's a wonderful thing!)
Info: Kingroot will read your IMEI and for unknown reason IMEI will be sent to China server.

I would be interested too
Maybe someone to reverse engineer the kingroot method and make it to some easy one click root, without sending any IMEIs ? that would be awesome !

Bit of research here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3106459
Over a week now, no problems. No mystery reboots or freezing. Was able to install superuser, uninstall kingroot, even trying the experimental xposed, titanium and the dual recovery all working as expected.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
We've had root on LB since the 4.2 days. I rooted my phone back then, and kept it ever since. Unlocked the BL for some time, locked again, no loss.
If you're not comfortable with some Chinese closed source app running on your phone and applying some undisclosed root method that they claim is used by "other Chinese apps that need to get root", just downgrade , root, and flash back LP. It's much safer IMHO.
Safer yeah but the amount of work on that method that needs to be done is huge. Atleast compared to kingroot method that takes a minute, another for installing superSU...
Hello guys, lot time ago i have rooted my xperia z with 4.4.4 android version. After that i had changed buttons/fonts and now i dont have stock of them. The problem is that now i want to update to android lollipop, and i dont have idea what to do. I dont know did i need to unroot firstly then update, or just update. But if i need unroot, did these applied things like changed fonts/buttons apearance did not cause some bugs,bricks without changing back them to stock and unrooting? Becouse these functions need root, and i want to unroot without changing them to stock, becouse i dont have idea where i can get them. Damn... Its madness, i dont know what to do now and what to do firstly sorry about my terrible english skills, and also i am big noob here as you can see. I hope you guys understand what i want to say, i really need help!!!!!!

Hi bro
to install LP you dont need change ane thing in your current rom
to flash LP every thing will be wiped (all data and phone partition get formated ) but you just have to be aware your phone is LB or UN: if your phone bootloader is unlocked then your not able to update via xperia update
wene ever flash roms via flashtool is preference:good:

Thanks buddy i dont have custom rom, unlocked bootloader, just rooted and thats it, without unlocking. So... did i can update lollipop? And the thing about buttons/fonts is that what i mean
Did after update will be everythink clear? Did these changed buttons will not cause bugs?
I have changed them with SoftKeyZ app, who require root, and i dont have stock buttons
To change back. And another question, did i need to unroot before apply android 5 lollipop? I have firmware update of it, so i need just apply it, but i am scarred.

OTA - Over The Air - Type of update, means you download it directly on your phone and it updates, without the need of PC.
Recommended: Backup everything - Clean Install (via pc companion or flashtool) - install whatever you want
Second - chances of bricking by just updating to lollipop in your case are minimal, however backup first so you can restore in case of a disaster.

Yes, of course , with an unlocked bootloader it is really easy.
With a locked bootloader however the only possible way is to root it with Kingroot (chinese app), and then replace it with SuperSu.
Have fun!

First you need to have root installed, then you will be able to flash recovery, then flash xposed, then add the xposed.apk
The best place to start is this great guide here.
There are several ways of getting root onto your phone, but whatever you do don't be tempted by kingroot.
Flashfire could be the alternative way of flashing xposed, so you don't have to bother with reocvery.
Unfortunately Sony phones have an encrypted partition that has a uniquie identifier key in it, if you loose or erase this then parts of the Sony software don't work. This catches a lot of people out who come from Samsung or HTC. It also makes the initial steps of modifying your phone quite difficult.
Don't unlock you bootloader.
Okey! Thank you
So i would like to know if i can install Xposed in that device without flashing.

You mean flash without using flashtool? You can't use Roms Manager to flash xposed
But if you have root, you could use Flashfire, that will flash without recovey.
