Galaxy S5 Active 5.0- Softbricked After Installing Xposed - Xposed General

Xposed Softbrick- Loop
Hey guys,
I'm having some issues and need some assistance. I'm pretty knew with this so please excuse my noobieness. I had just updated my At&t Galaxy S5 Active 4.4.2 to 5.0 via the instructions here .
Everything went well until I tried to install Xposed framework. Now I am stuck in the softbrick/loop. (I'm stuck at the At&t logo)
Can someone give me any help with fixing this? Please remember I don't know a whole lot of the terminology or tools available. Any guidance on this would be great.
Thank you,

Could you specify which files you have flashed through recovery? What ROM are you on (maybe stock ROM)? Did you wipe dalvik&cache after flashing the Xposed framework?
Maybe you could even try to grab a log file through ADB (search for it if you don't know how) and upload it here.

A solution as been resolved- Admin/Mods can close or delete this thread.
Thank you!

[Q/REQ] CWM for SM-G730W8 variant?

I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to CWM for the SM-G730W8, so can anyone port a version of CWM for all of the Canadian users? I've read about installing CWM with fastboot but I don't understand it and I'm not sure if I need to have a CWM that works for my phone. Also can anyone tell me if Recovery Builder works or can someone teach me to use it? Thanks in advance guys.

Has anyone with a SM-G730W8 or SM-G730A or SM-G730V tried using Flash Gordon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555 to flash scripts? I want to flash pure performances x http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670 has anyone tried to flash this or can anyone try and tell me if it works? my SGS3 Mini is being repaired by Samsung atm so i can't test anything until it gets back, which could take a few weeks.

Well Flash Gordon only works with some zip files; I don't know why. Kn0x0ut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550120 is a good alternative to Flash Gordon and possibly CWM since we still can't unlock out bootloader. I've been looking around and I found that the s4 mini has a method of installing CWM and unlocking the bootloader through the process but I'm not sure if it works. I don't really want to test it because it would be a hassle to have to unbrick my phone and download all of my apps again if this method doesn't work. The reason I think this might work is because it works with the Canadian version of the S4 mini(SGH-I257M) and that's different from the normal s4 mini(GT-I9195). Since the SM-G730W8 is a Canadian phone that was released at the same time as the SGH-I257M there's a chance that their bootloader's can be unlocked in the same way. If it works for the SM-G730W8 then it would work for the SM-G730A and SM-G730V. Here's the link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 . The developer and I are not responsible for any bricked phones. If you want to test this go ahead and be sure to report back here to tell us if it works. Good luck if you decide to test this. I might test it in the summer when I have time but I can't risk bricking my phone at the moment and I might even buy I new phone soon because this phone is just not meeting my needs for gaming.
BTW Samsung didn't repair my phone. they said they made "mechanical adjustments" to it but it doesn't matter what they did because my phone still has dead pixels around the screen. I'm just pointing this out because Samsung is really trying hard to lose customers now lol. First they install KNOX to all of their devices, then they lock the bootloaders on our phones to the point where it's near impossible to unlock and then they don't do anything when you send your phone in for repairs -_- I think I'm done with Samsung.
I likely shouldn't be posting in an older thread, but I felt it important to notify. The S4 mini recovery that you linked to was the only one that came close to working on my SM-G730W8. It booted into a very buggy and dysfunctional version with a dimmed screen and a constant vibration on. it was useless, but is was the only custom recovery I could get to boot.
I should also note that previously on the stock 4.2.2 firmware the boot loader was locked, and it would just boot loop any custom recovery. After installer the new stock 4.4.2 firmware, the boot loader appears to be unlocked, because recoveries don't seem to boot loop, and as I stated above one of them actually booted. My issue is that I can't find a recovery that actually works properly for this device, likely because it's been locked up until this point. I'll keep searching, and if need be I will have to try and make my own.
SM-G730W8
can ı ask a question ? is i8200 and SM-G730W8 same phones ?
I don't believe that they are the same phone. Otherwise, when I tried the recoveries designed for them, than it would have loaded.

Question is quite simple - trying to load spanish as a generic language support in the canadian version g730w8...
Cannot find a way to load it up. I figure that i747m can be converted somewhat to t999 american version..
can g730w8 s3 mini be converted to GT-I9195L the latin american version to add language support if so How?
Are there any simpler ways to go by this?
I do not want to use morelocale or other apps to just enable half half support but rather change the whole device into a spanish version..
Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance..

Unfortunately, you cannot convert the SM-G730W8 into the GT-I9195 because the hardware of the 2 devices are different. If you flashed a GT-I9195 ROM to the SM-G730W8, you would brick your phone. I personally have no experience with changing to entire system's language to Spanish so I don't really know how to point you in the right direction.

I am relatively new to this android rooting process and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

BRAND NEW TO ROOT - Please Help!

Hi everyone. So I'm brand new to rooting. This is my first rooted phone. I have the Att Variant of the Galaxy S5 and I'm looking to install a custom Recovery so I can save my phone if anything happens to it. From reading I'm pretty sure my only option is Safestrap? I'm running KitKat 4.4.4 with build OA1.
I did see and find tutorials and DL links for NG3. But I don't want to install that if that is not what I need for my phone. (Obviously). If anyone can help me and point me in the right direction that would be great and HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
I also know I want to get rid of the bloatware on my phone and install an adblocker
Any suggestions on how to do thos or apps to look into ?
Also any other this you guys would first do after rooting a new phone for the first time
Please and thanks. Glad to finally be apart of this Community.
