I can install the apk just fine but when I do the install/upgrade and reboot it tells me its not installed. I can't seem to find the zip to flash it through TWRP. This is on a Blu Studio Energy running KK
I just wanted to know can i use xposed on stock lenovo A606 rom? Do i need a custom recovery to flash the xposed uninstaller?
Anyone? Will I get bootloop if i use xposed on it? Android 4.4.2, someone please tell me.
Anyone? I dont want to get bootloop
Anyone? Anyone? Anyone know how to search?
Of course I did search.. I couldnt get the answer so i needed the help from XDA.
Why do you want to flash the framework? You are on Android 4.4.2. Xposed framework can be installed by using the Xposed Installer v2.7 experimental1 from the Xposed repo. Flashing the framework through recovery is only required if you have Android Lollipop (5.x) or above running.
I mean if i got something bad and needed to flash the xposed uninstaller. Do i need a custom recovery to do that or a stock recovery is able to do so?
There is no uninstaller.zip file for Android below 5.0. You can disable the Xposed files through recovery. The best idea would be to make a backup of your complete system before installing Xposed, so you can restore your system in case something went wrong during installation.
Yeah.. That's what i mean. Flashing the Xposed-Disable-Recovery.zip in recovery. Can i flash it using stock recovery or i have to use a custom recovery?
You need a custom recovery, stock recovery will very likely not work.
The uninstaller.zip is for devices with Android Lollipop. For your device with Android 4.4.2 there is no flashable uninstaller/disabler. You have to disable the Xposed files manually (pretty time-consuming) through recovery or restore your backup (by far the easiest way).
what about the Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip attached at the first post on here?

Thanks man! You know which file i'm talking about?
Ah, this file. Well, this file will also be stored on your device when you install Xposed. I didn't know it was called the Xposed-Disabler. This file you have to manually copy (as described in the first post of the linked Xposed thread) to /system/bin/app_process in case you are facing a bootloop or flashing it via recovery. A custom recovery is recommended, as stock recoveries usually don't have advanced options available which are required.
Nevertheless, doing a complete system backup before installing Xposed is highly recommended.
Thanks man! I just get the CWM recovery. Will try it tonight thanks!
Hi everybody,
currently the Lenovo K3 Note runs with Android 5.0 K50a40_S121_150813_ROW (Kao-Alpha2).
OTA provides K50a40_S121_150813_ROW_TO_K50a40_S322_160314_ROW but when downloading the update and confirming the installation phone ends up in TWRP without any further action. I can try to search the downloaded file and install it from TWRP but I did not find it.
When trying to update this file from TWRP by renaming it to update.zip and moving it to the phone update fails with message: unmount of /data failed (-1): Invalid argument script aborted: This package is for "Lenovo K50a40" devices; this is a "Lenovo K3 Note" Error executing updater binary in zip ... Error installing zip file
Does anybody know why this is failing?
Additionally I found within web K50a40_S205_151118_ROW_TO_K50a40_S422_160315_ROW.
Now I am puzzled which ROM version is the correct one? Does anybody by chance know? Could not yet find any information regarding this topic within WWW.
Also I am struggling to get into TWRP by myself. When phone is off and I press volume up and power key I only end up in chinese ROM where I cannot read anything. Can I install OTA version from there? And how can I get into TWRP if wanted?
There are no enhanced reboot menu options and key combination mentioned only brings chinese recovery version up.
Any help appreciated.
Bye
The OTA package can be installed by stock recovery only.
To update the rom using twrp you have to download the full rom.

But TWRP recovery does not work for installing the OTA update! Is there any way to get into stock recovery which is english (I could enter into some stock mode after switching on - but its chinese only)?
If your rooted and have twrp then follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537.
If not rooted use KingRoot on PC it worked for me

Thank you (and sorry for that very late reply). I finally managed to install ROM from above mentioned link (was no prio task for quite a long time).
Unfortunately SMS is gone (not existing within that ROM) and not OTA update is shown.
In addition I also cannot install the downloaded OTA version - the same error still occurs: "This package is for "Lenovo K50a40" devices; this is a "Lenovo K3 Note" Error executing updater binary in zip" => so installing the Stock variant from mentioned thread did not help unfortunately!
Is the version from above link already the lastest one? Any ideas, hints, etc.?
I just upgraded my phone (OnePlus 3T) to 5.0.3 and now I have to re-root it. For some reason, I'm unable to flash Magisk via TWRP. I don't get any error message except 'Installation failed'.
The Magisk version I'm using is the latest one. I downloaded it directly from GitHub. I also tried using the uninstaller (latest one) first but even then TWRP says 'installation failed'. Is there a way I can fix this without having to lose all of my data?
I'm using the latest version of TWRP for my device, I downloaded it directly with their app.
Thanks to anyone who'll help!
Save the recovery log after the flashing fails, and then post that. Advanced -> Copy log.
Hey folks
Just reloaded stock rom. Everything fresh. (Android 6)
Latest Magisk version not working when flashed in TWRP. Renamed APK to ZIP like I always do and get this error "
Updater process ended with error 1
Tried extracting the boot.img and flashing it to boot option on the flash image section of TWRP. Yes that flashed ok but i sitll get the same Magisk install error.
Any ideas?
