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?

Yes you can indeed! You just have to flash a pre-rooted Lollipop firmware (linked). That link has a pre-made pre-rooted 5.0.2 Lollipop firmware that should work well! The only problem right now is the the XZDualRecovery does not really support Lollipop yet, but will very soon be updated!

And is that a problem if XZDualRecovery is not supported yet ?
I have a Z3c rooted on 4.4 and I still don't understand what is the purpose of dual recovery. What does it change for me on a daily basis if I flash a pre-booked 5.0.2 and if dual recovery doesn't work yet ?
Sorry for the dumb question, I prefer to make sure before trying to flash the pre-booked 5.02

You might have problems installing Xposed. In KitKat I could only install it from Recovery. If Lollipop is the same you might not be able to install it until there's a working Recovery.
Xposed is still alpha for lollipop, expect issues.
i just donwload this file and 1 more qustion...
is it support hebrew? if not where do i get file like this thet support hebrew?
and i simplly update via ota...my root will dissappere?

i'm using kk and already install this by recovery after reading that post
After reading a couple of posts :
- "real" root on lollipop is not yet available. You can't mount system as r/w without recovery.
- no recovery yet support lollipop.
- xposed is yet in beta for lollipop. However, everything works except modules made specifically for kk.
- xposed can only be installed via recovery on lp. It's because of security breach fixed.
So, I would advise to wait for a recovery before flashing lp.
Best chance are at nut's dual recovery.

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
There's so many different xposed versions to choose but unsure which one. Help me?
> Not sure if I'm lolipop or kitkat, but in "about me", it shows version "5.0".
> I'm rooted with the stock rom. Using a custom launcher (nova), not touch wiz.
Thanks
Reason I want to use xposed is because I want to use xPrivacy.
Theres no official support from Xposed for Samsung 5.x ROMs so you cant use the official Xposed releases by rovo89. Your only hope is check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960 depending if you are in 5.0 or 5.1.1 - Make a full backup of your rom + apps, in case things go south yu will be able to fix things with that backup, im guessing you have a custom recovery installed wich will help you making/restoring the backup and flashing the xposed zip. Good Luck, youre gonna need it.

Thanks, I'm on 5.0 (Don't know if that's truly 5.0 or 5.01) cuz it shows exactly 5.0 in my "About" setting on S5.
So, it seems that I have to go with arter97's xposed version. Now I'm stuck with something: deodexing...
Does deodexing work when you put a ROM on PC and use a certain tool to "deodex" that ROM? Then re-flash it to phone? Problem is, I cannot find the ROM (the one that I used to flash for rooting) on my PC...

I dont have a s5 nor am i familiarized with the root process on that device, anyway is a samsung device so you flash things with odin on it, thats what i do know. Here are my thoughts:
1-. Honestly i think you should update your S5 to 5.1.1 first, if possible, if you have the international version for example. Chek this from android police https://www.androidpit.com/galaxy-s5-android-update
2-. Also here is some info about the S5, his variants and firmwares, worth reading: http://androidforums.com/threads/41-galaxy-s5-models-dummies-guide.892162/
3-. Anyway about the deodexing, if you dont find the file in your PC go to samfirware they have pretty much all the samsung firmwares there. This is only if youre staying in 5.0 of course, and yes you could use samfirmware to find the 5.1.1 rom file for your S5 if there is any available and flash it via Odin, then youll have to install a custom recovery and root your phone using whatever method is right for the S5, again you have to check your variant support, use google youll probablly end up here in XDA again.

Thanks, I think I'll wipe everything & install a custom ROM (deodex'd). Should save some time. Again thanks for your help
Hi all,
Aroma is now working on our ATT S5 and S5 Active. through FlashFire emulation in their latest beta. Tested it, it works. Still stuck on lollipoop 5.0. but we can flash other Roms through aroma now.
Steps:
1. Start on muniz nce downgrade (4.4)
2. Towelroot
3. Install SuperSU
4. Install latest FlashFire.
5. Install muniz OF3 (I used deodexed prerooted) with flashfire. No need to wipe either, it's built into the install. Btw, change screen timeout to 10 min. Don't forget to install OA1 bootloader through download (using Odin) mode after rom installs. You can select reboot to download mode in flashfire.
Here's the link to the instructions for the S5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3149146
And the active: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g870aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3161733
6. Select your g900f Android 5.0 custom (TouchWiz only) rom. I am currently on Alliance v10, installed through FlashFire (change screen timeout to 10 min.) aroma emulator. I did a wipe of cache, system and dalvik in flashfire and selected "factory wipe" in aroma. Do not select any kernels in aroma. Takes 10+ min. To boot, just wait. I installed SuperSU 3.76 after boot and I'm still rooted.
Any questions, just ask. I have tried some 5.1 and 6.0.1 and they are a no go (probably a kernel issue).
I have attached a screenshot, yes, it says g900f, it should, look at the baseband, it's ATT of3.
I don't take any credit for any of this. I just tried installing a few different Roms with this method. Give credit where credit is due: chainfire-supersu, muniz-many times thank you for your unblock and upgrades to 5.0 whilst keeping root, Alliance rom-thank you for your awesome rom, and yes it works great on g900a! I haven't tested it on the active, so if you try it, let us know.
Question
Hi dude, thanks for share this information, but, where can I get the OA3 kernel? - Are you sure about the kernel version?
Interesting anybody else try this?

Yes. I'm sure it works. Take a look at the screenshot. I'm on it right now, used aroma to install.
I did make a mistake in the original post. You need to be on the oa1 bootloader, a link is included in muniz upgrade to of3 post (sorry about that). http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3149146

Should work for the active too. You have to use muniz rom, the latest one that still has root.
Here is the rom you need to be on for the active. http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g870aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3161733
You need root, flashfire and BusyBox. Aroma is a little slow, however, and doesn't register check boxes right away, but it does work.

I just installed xposed and got into a bootloop too. Stock ROM rooted.
Realy no one that can awnser my question?
Try this version of Xposed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
It works with stock roms. You must flash it using TWRP 2.8, becasue TWRP3.0 has the bootloop issue, dont know why.
Hey @Vaako,
I'm not sure if this is still urgent for you, but here's the procedure I followed to get what you want:
- Grab a recent stock ROM that fits your country from updato.com
- Flash the stock ROM to the device using ODIN
- Root the device by flashing CF-AutoRoot using ODIN.
- Flash TWRP 3.0 to the device using ODIN
- Use Barebone Cleaner (by installing it through TWRP 3.0) to remove unneeded Samsung bloatware
- Install wanam's Xposed mod for Samsung using TWRP 3.0.
Note that this works for me with TWRP 3.0 without any bootloop issues.
Result: a cleaned-up, rooted recent stock ROM with XPosed installed.
No custom kernels or anything, because on my G800H custom kernels make me lose GPS. Your mileage may vary, though.
