I just installed the rooted stock lollipop on my S5. I installed safestrap following the instructions, the app shows it as installed but when I press the "boot to recovery" it just restarts. I don't get the splash screen or anything else. Any ideas? I tried reinstalling it already.

Safestrap does not work with Lollipop! Only FlashFire. Or use this guide,

I have flashfire as well, so can I flash the same roms using flashfire as I would with safestrap?

Hey guys I just got the phone rooted and installed everything I need. I install SS and it says Installed. HIt the button to reboot into recovery and the phone just reboots and doesnt show the SS menu or anything of the sort. I have tryed many times. Also Could not find any info on this. Thanks
Can you see the Safestrap splashscreen normally, or js the issue only with when you reboot to recovery? If its the former then thag would mean safestrap is actually not installed, make sure you have busybox installed and try again, if its the latter i dont really know what to tell you.

It seems you're problem is installing TWRP and not Xposed, therefore you need to search in your fone's forum for answers as to how you can install TWRP. When you succeed in doing that, come here for problems about Xposed.

Yeah, but im trying to install Xposed, that needs me to go to my phones recovery but my phone will never boot to recovery, is there like any other way I can get the framework installed for Xposed without going to recovery? It keeps going in to Odin mode it looks like.

That's still a recovery problem. I neither know what fone you have nor what you're running on it. You need to get your TWRP sorted it first and for that the best place your device's forum.

Odin mode is download mode, you should figure out how to get your phone into recovery instead.
And in lieu of twrp, you can flash the xposed zip with flashfire from the play store.

Yup, after using Flashify to install TWRP, after the phone boots it goes to "Start up failed" could it be my provider does not like it? (i545)
any ideas?

If you're not going to try flashfire as suggested, you're on your own. And for the record, you don't flash twrp with it, just flash the xposed zip..

Was late night typing that, but ill try flashfire.
Ok what you need to do is download the tool SAMFIRM in the general thread. fill in the model and region which will be SM-T700 and KOO in region section . wait for it to download once it says decrypt finished extract tar from zip with winrar then flash tar in Odin. Once odin has flashed it then tab reboots put it into stock recovery, hold home button volume up and power button together and hold for 4/5 seconds then let go. wipe data factory reset then let it boot. Enjoy
Why the need to wipe data/reset? Samsung stock upgrades are always compatible with the previous data.
It was bootlooping

Most likely just needed dalvik wiping.
I would dirty flash, boot then wipe data only if necessary.
Factory reset was the first option I seen in stock recovery. Not used to being in stock recovery normally twrp
I am trying to flash it with Flashfire due to keep rooted.
Had to to wipe factory reset from recovery.
Good Lock works fine, but appears a little thin
Just reroot after flashing via Odin if flash fire don't work
Guys,sorry for the noobish question,
do you confirm I can eventually get back to my lollipop ROM with a full TWRP backup after flashing MM?
If you've backed it up on a external device then yes sure. You will need to reroot after flashing this though.

Yes I'm sure cf auto root works. I haven't tried it but t805 users have so it should work.

TWRP,Supersu and Xposed working :good:.
(got the following message whenever I enter the recovery: "recovery is not seandroid enforcig"..still it doens't seems to affect anything )
Here is what I did in case some newcomer like me is asking:
1) flashed the rom with odin and booted in
2)flashed twrp with odin (the one kindly provided by Ashyx here TWRP)
3)flashed supersu with twrp (SuperSU)
4)flashed xposed 86.0 sdk23 arm from wanam's thread with twrp (here)
Any idea about the "recovery is not seandroid enforcig" thing?
Does anyone know if its possible to enable adoptive storage in this?

It means nothing. The Tab S didn't support this warning until MM, so nothing was required to remove it.
It's trivial for me to remove it, but more hassle than its worth considering it means nothing.
I actually prefer to have it as it clearly indicates Iam booting into recovery.

Hai! I'm new here so if this isn't the place to put it so sorry!
Anyways so I've always wanted to install Xposed, but there are always things getting in my way, until I saw a Xposed file that would work for me perfectly! But I don't have an recovery, the tutorial I took just made me use Odin, but I am rooted with busybox. (if that's important.) Anyways so I saw how to install an custom recovery, then I saw you had to unlock your bootloader, I had to google how to check if it was unlocked and it wasn't, so I then googled how to unlock bootloader and saw you had to delete your files. Now even if I get to backup and restore, I don't like factory resetting things. Until I remembered Odin, I googled it and saw it could flash. So i'm wondering...
Can I installed Xposed using Odin? Or atleast flash an custom recovery to it using Odin without unlocking my bootloader?
Here is my tablet's stats.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A Lollipop 5.0.2 Rooted (Busybox Installed.) Stock Rom Touchwiz SM-T350
No, you can't flash with Odin. Only cwm or twrp

You should install the framework zip via custom recovery only.
1) Flash TWRP (or CWM or Philz or whatever is available for your device) in Odin
2) Reboot into recovery mode and you will be in this new custom recovery you just put on
3) Flash the xposed framework
4) ?????????
5) Profit!

Ahh, ok.
didnt knew this earlier.
Do I went to upgrade my wife's G2 to a newer TWRP version. Instead of smartly doing this by flashing the new zip in twrp, I used JMZ's twrp app to flash the newer version. It said success and thought all was good.
When I return to recovery, it's just a black screen nothing loads. I rebooted and tried again. Same problem. Rebooted and tried flashing CWM through ROM manager. Same result - black recovery screen.
By now I've tried to access fastboot but fastboot doesn't recognize device (although ADB had no problem). I've attempted flashing the IMG file from the official TWRP app and also using the "dd" method on terminal Emulator.
I'm at a complete loss here. My guess is the recovery is corrupted and anything short of using KDZ or TOT method to return to stock and re-root is going to just keep frustrating me.
Thoughts?

yeah those twrp apps are more trouble than they are worth on the G2 at least.
I think there was a lollipop version of autorec floating around might have to google it
or you could try and pull the recovery.img out of one of blastgators zips and flash with dd then flash the zip in twrp
I dont understand one thing, can you boot the phone? It can turn on normally? Anyway about the recovery, have you tried with AutoRec.apk? Google for it and it should install some old version of TWRP then go and find 3.0xx bumped TWRP which is recommended in most of roms and flash it through the old one, after that reboot recovery and youll have the latest recovery

Yes the phone boots just fine. It's just the recovery that's been blasted. I'm gonna try the autorec you guys mentioned. I'll let you know how it goes.
When you say find a bumped version of TWRP, that is something different than the one on the official site right? Also, the version I found of autorec was the kitkat version. I believe I rooted her phone from Lollipop. Will this cause problems with running autorec? Moreover will it mess up my boot?

So tried autorec for the vs980. Unfortunately it can't find or install the Loki_tool. With that it closes the app. I've tried looking up info on the Loki tool, but I'm not finding anything that is being helpful.
I'm familiar with using the kdz method and might just do that and start fresh. Really wish I hadn't used that stupid twrp app now. I'll take any further suggestions that could save me from restoring stock.

Autorec works , it must. You have SuperSu? Go in supersu settings and uncheck something about 'name spaces' cant remember the whole thing. Then reboot, run autorec again.
I should have probably mentioned I'm on a custom rom already. Don't know if that's part of it.
I'm on RR MM 5.7.4 using built in root manager in the rom.

Yeah figured as much. I might just leave her on stock honestly. She is a very light user of her phone. I only rooted and did custom recovery because her original software became corrupted and boot looped her.
