Updated 2016.01.23 - This post has been rewritten for people who have unlocked their Verizon XT1096 through the Motorola unlock page. It is presumed that you have fastboot installed and working and that you have at least a 5.x version of Android on your phone. (Android version in Settings -> About phone) If not and you're still on 4.4.4, the information hidden at the bottom of this post will help you upgrade.
This ROM is based on the Stock ROM and has SuperSU v2.65, Xposed v80, Xposed Installer, BusyBox v1.24.1-Stericson, sqlite3, zip, aapt, and DNS support for Busybox apps pre-installed. System is mounted R/W via su.d script, addon.d scripts are supported, the Verizon part of the boot animation is removed, tethering is enabled. The following obsolete files are deleted from the stock image:

In addition to TWRP mentioned next, you'll need a few files on hand to complete the process:
XT1096-23.32-25-5-5-Firmware.zip - TWRP zip to update firmware.
xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-5-Mod.zip- The factory based modified ROM
A GApps package, this is possibly the most confusing part for new ROM flashers and will be discussed below.
xt1096-5.1-debloat.zip - Optional, removes some Verizon bloat, see list below
xt1096-5.1-debloat-keepconnect.zip - Same as above but retains Moto Connect and some files need for the Moto Gallery app.
If you want root, flash SuperSU from this thread: SuperSU Release (As of the time of this posting the direct link to the download is here: SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip
If you want Xposed, flash xposed from this thread: Xposed thread you want the version for SDK22 for ARM. (As of the time of this posting, the direct link to the download is here: xposed-v87-sdk22-arm.zip
Here is the list of apps deleted by the debloat zip, the keepconnect version does not remove Motorola Connect:

GApps are Google Applications, the stock ROM originally had many of the GApps but they are outdated. Note: Due to changes in the Open GApps package, the minimum level that will work correctly with this ROM is the Micro package, the nano and pico packages probably won't work. Like other custom ROM's, if you want to use any Google services and/or the Play Store, you must install a GApps package. One source is here: Open GApps with an XDA discussion group here: XDA Open GApps When selecting your GApps package, choose ARM for the platform and 5.1 for the version of Android. Then any of the variants will work to give you access to the Google services. The XT1096 has plenty of room and resources for the larger packages. The "Full" variant is probably most like what the phone came with as stock. Be advised that the "Stock" and "Super" variants, by default, will replace the excellent Motorola camera app with the Google camera app. You can avoid this by creating a gapps-config.txt file kept in the same place as the installer zip. In addition, all but the "Nano" and "Pico" variants will put Google Photos in place of the stock Gallery app with it's Highlight Reel tool. Creating a gapps-config.txt file is described on the pages linked above. To avoid losing the Moto Camera and Gallery apps, you might have a gapps-config.txt file like this:
Code:
+Gallery
CameraGoogle
Collect all the needed zip files and place them all in your download folder on the phone or on a USB-OTG drive.
Install TWRP. The TWRP app from the Play Store doesn't always work reliably, install TWRP using fastboot. The latest official version is 2.8.7.1 and you can download it from here: https://dl.twrp.me/victara/. (Note: Some people have reported problems with official versions of TWRP getting stuck at the splash screen. See post 1013 for alternate versions of TWRP that may work for you.) Put the .img file in the same place that you run fastboot from, put the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode and run the following command (replacing the file name at the end with the file you want to flash):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-victara.img
The process only takes a couple seconds, ignore any errors about size mismatch. Use the volume down key to highlight recovery, then press the volume up key to select. The phone should reboot into TWRP. Make a backup, preferably to a USB-OTG drive before you do anything else. If something goes wrong with the next steps, you'll be able to restore the backup and be back to where you started.
In TWRP select WIPE, then Advanced Wipe. Select, Data, System, Cache and then slide the slider to begin the process. This will wipe the phone except for your pictures and other things on the "SDCARD" or internal storage. (The phone will enter setup when booting the first time after flashing the ROM. You might be able to get away with not doing the wipe, most people will have problems if the wipe isn't done due to the Google apps being updated from the stock installed versions.)
Return to the Home menu in TWRP, select install, then add zip. Select xt1096-23.32-25-5-2_gpt.zip. Tap add zip again and select xt1096-23.32-25-5-2_Firmware.zip. Tap add zip again and select xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip. These 3 must be first. Tap add zip again and select the GApps zip file that you selected. If you are debloating, tap add zip again and select that zip file. If you want the CM AudioFX, tap add zip again and select that zip (you can actually do this step in the future by itself if you want.) At this point you have at least 4 zips and possibly 6 selected; slide the slider to begin the flashing process. This will take a while, don't interrupt it. If the screen turns off, use the power button to turn it back on. When done, use the Reboot System button to restart the phone. The phone will reboot, it will show the logo and then the boot animation. It will take 4-5 minutes during which time the boot animation will appear to be stuck, don't panic, this is normal and will only happen the first time after a clean install. The phone should start an optimizing apps process and when that completes, you will see the first set up screen.
Enjoy your rooted stock ROM!

The info below is about mofo and previous versions of this rom. Most people won't need to look at it!
Updated 2015.09.16 - Jump to post 781 for the TWRP Stagefright patch update!
Updated 2015.09.12 - Jump to post 783 for the MOFO Stagefright patch update!
Below is the original information for using Mofo to flash 5.0 images, upgrade to 5.1 and other Mofo info. If you have used Sunshine to unlock your bootloader, you can still flash any of the old images using fastboot. Now, this thread will have images for flashing with both mofo and TWRP..
I've created a base XT1096 v5.1 stock based image that is setup like a custom ROM. This image has tether enabled in build.prop, Busybox and SQLite3 are installed. The ROM has been rooted with SuperSU. Support for DNS in Busybox is included. Certain apps that are potentially spyware or are outdated have been removed. Even more stock apps can be removed via TWRP with the xt1096-5.1-debloat.zip file available in post 2. As time permits I'll create some more TWRP zip files to add Viper4Android, the stagefright patches when released, etc.
Important: This ROM, like other custom ROMs, does not included GApps (like PlayStore, etc.) Most everyone will want to download a GApps package and include it in the list of zips to install in TWRP. There are several GApps packages out there, TK GApps are very flexible and can be configured to install just the bare minimum or the full set of Google Apps: TK GApps 5.1 If using Xposed, you will need to reinstall the Xposed Installer app from here: XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk; you will then need to open the Xposed Installer and enable your installed modules before they will function.
The TWRP flashable image is available here: xt1096-5.1-stock-20150820.zip
If you do a clean flash (wipe data), it takes 4-5 minutes for the phone to start the first time.
See some useful links and additional TWRP zips in the next post!
Here is a nice guide for upgrading from the Mofo to the unlocked bootloader with Sunshine, installing TWRP and using the TWRP compatible zips by @betarepeating:
Starting with 5.1 Mofo Rooted image provided in this thread:
First install/run sunshine. This process was painless and easy and I'm not going to waste my time typing instructions here.
Nuke the "Warning Message" boot logo
Instructions | Download
Just opened that folder and typed:
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Installing TWRP
Instructions | Download
then do
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Now when you boot to recovery you will see TWRP!
Installing Apps
===============
Boot into recovery (TWRP)
Made backups of /system and /boot (didnt backup /data because I don't have an OTG cable or room on my internal storage - but you should!)
Copied backups to my PC
Copied the following to the TWRP folder on my phone (could put them anywhere doesnt matter):
xt1096-5.1-stock-20150820.zip
xt1096-5.1-debloat.zip
xt1096-5.1-CM-Stuff.zip
tk_gapps-modular-mini-5.1.1-20150816-signed.zip
xposed-v71-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20150816.zip
Links to download are in the second post of this thread
Went into Wipe > Advanced Wipe and checked system and dvalik-cache and wiped them.
Installed all the zips from above in the listed order (all that matters is the xt1096-5.1-stock-20150820.zip goes first)
Rebooted
Phone sat and optimized for a long time
While waiting I downloaded:
XposedInstaller
AdAway
CF.Lumen
Dropped the APKs onto my phone once it was booted and ran them from file explorer.
Done.
=================================================
Here is the original info and links for Mofo 5.0 images:
The mofo image file with Xposed v65 baked in is listed below. It is based on the image posted by btdownloads7. It includes root, tether, BusyBox and SQLite3 while adding Xposed v65.
You need to flash an image with root from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60537982&postcount=1 to be able to follow the instructions below.
You also need to install the alpha Xposed apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440 Download the apk to your phone, find it with your phone file manager and click on it to install. Do not try to install the framework from within the Xposed installer.
While in your root file manager, navigate to /data/dalvik-cache and delete both the "arm" and "profiles" folders. (This is needed one time due to a glitch in the alpha Xposed for Lollipop.) You must do this!
Connect your phone to your pc and issue the "adb reboot-bootloader" command to get into fastboot mode (or use the proper key combination on the phone to enter fastboot mode.)
Flash the image file with mofo as normal.
After mofo completes its work, enter "fastboot erase cache" from your pc to flush the system cache.
Once done, reboot the phone. The boot animation will end and seem to freeze for a minute or two, then it will start the upgrading/optimizing apps process. Once your phone is booted up, open the Xposed installer from the app drawer, install a module (like Gravity Box for LP) and enjoy!
Note: If you get system memory full errors after the reboot, you didn't delete the folders in /data/dalvik-cache as noted above; with luck you will be able to delete them in between error messages and reboot. Otherwise, you'll need to flash an image without Xposed and start over.
XT1096_5.0-tether-root-bb-sqlite3-XposedV65.img.7z - XT1096 image for use with mofo. Includes HDR fix, tether, root, busybox, sqlite3 and Xposed v65
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440 - Link to Xposed Installer Alpha 4 needed for Xposed v65
XT1096_5.0-tether-root-bb-sqlite3-XposedV65-DeBloat.img.7z - Image with bloat removed, see this post for details: Post 169
XT1096_5.0-tether-root-bb-sqlite3-XposedV65-DeBloat-AdAway.img.7z - Image for AdAway users with symlink for hosts file, see this posrt for details: Post 188
Here is the info for 5.1 Mofo Images, updating, patching, etc.:
Thanks to @JulesJam and @Slack3r we have Android 5.1 for the XT1096 with mofo! Below are links to the 5.1 mofo image and patch files.
These images have tether enabled, root, Sqlite3, BusyBox, Xposed, CF.lumen and support for AirAudio, AdAway, iOS Emoji fonts and Viper4Android with the latest TK Gapps installed. Here are the main files:
5.1bins.7z - Kernel, modem and other 5.1 update files
xt1096-5.1-v3.1g-pkg.7z - Base image
You should save the base 5.1 image file. When there are updates in the future, patch files will be used to work with this base image.
@JulesJam has written an excellent guide for new users (and those who might need a refresher) here: Mofo Noob Guide
These images are for Android 5.1. If you are still running 5.0, here are instructions for upgrading to 5.1:
The following presumes that you already are running a rooted mofo version of Android 5.0. You shouldn't loose your data by making this upgrade, however, it is always wise to backup anything on your device that isn't also stored somewhere else. As usual, I can't be responsible if your phone malfunctions in some way. I have installed these files following the instructions below without any difficulty.
First, download the 5.1 base file and the 5.1 base image with patches.
Do not remove your SIM card, leave it installed.
Using your root file explorer (like ES Explorer with root enabled), delete everything in /data/dalvik-cache - YOU MUST DO THIS! Then reboot into bootloader mode.
Extract the files from the 5.1bins.7z archive and then run these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then, immediately use mofo to flash the 5.1 image. Reboot your phone and enjoy Android 5.1!
The base image can be patched to enable/disable features. The patch files are listed below and instructions on how to apply them are here:
First, you need to have the Xdelta3 program:
xdelta3 for Windows x86
xdelta3 for Windows 64-bit
xdelta3 for Linux
For Linux, extract the files from the archive, enter the folder with the extracted files and run the following command to install xdelta3 to your system:
Code:
./configure && make && make install
For windows extract the xdelta3-3.0.9-x86.exe file from the zip and rename it to xdelta3.exe.
Put the patch file(s), the xdelta3 program and the base image mofo file into the folder where your mofo program file is.
Open a command window in this folder.
Enter the "dir" command (Without quotes. You should see your files listed including xdelta3, mofo, etc.)
For both Windows and Linux users enter the following cmd while in your mofo directory:
Code:
xdelta3 -d -s base_image_file patch_file
In other words, to patch the base image to add Xposed, your command would look like this:
Code:
xdelta3 -d -s xt1096-5.1-mofo-base-v2.img base-to-base_xp.patch
The patched image will be created and you can then flash that like normal.
Make sure the newly created image is the exact same size as the original image. If a patch for another image is applied to the wrong image, there will be an error message displayed. Even if there is an error, a patch file may be created but it will usually not be the same size as the original.
The patch files for the base image are included in the image archive
In the archive are patches to do the following:
3.1{x}--3.1{x}-de - Removes some apps from v3.1f image
3.1{x}--3.1{x}-cf-de - Removes some apps from v3.1f image, keeps CF.lumen
3.1{x]--3.1{x}-v4a - Adds Viper4Android to the image
3.1{x]--3.1{x}-v4a -cf-cmt-de - Adds Viper4Android to the image with some apps removed
The apps removed in the Debloat patch(es) are listed here:
Code:
3c_main (Moto Apps Manager)
3c_checkin (Moto Apps Connector)
3c_notification (Moto Apps Notifications)
3c_ota (Moto Apps Data Manager)

Tips:
The image includes AdAway support. If you want to use AdAway, go into the AdAway settings and set the location of the hosts file to /data/data/hosts
To change the bootup animation, place your desired bootanimation.zip file (not the installer zip) into /data/local/moodle and set the permissions to rwx rwx rwx (chmod 777) and owner:group u0_a40:u0_a40
To use iOS Emojis, follow these instructions:
Code:
If iOS Emojis are desired,
Copy /system/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf.iOS to
/data/data/NotoColorEmoji.ttf
To restore the stock font,
Copy /system/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf.stock to
/data/data/NotoColorEmoji.ttf
Or, just delete the file and the system will copy the
stock one into place at the next boot.

Was first!
Are the steps the same to flash the updated image with the boot animation or can I just flash and wipe cache. I literally just booted the previous Xposed image after installing GravityBox and a few other modules and this is the first thing I see lol.
Thanks so much for the image though, it took a while to boot and start apps but it hasn't given me any issues otherwise yet.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you are already running the previous image with Xposed, you can just flash the new one in the normal way with mofo, no special steps needed.
Nvm
That's some animation! Sometimes I reboot just to watch it.
I don't seem to have the new animation....everything else is working fine though..
Empty \data folder
I didn't seem to have anything in my \data folder so I proceeded with flashing the image. Now, it appears I have the memory issue. Also, the apk for the xposed intaller seems to be for Alpha 2 - does that matter?
Thanks for everything!
Updated without any issues at all. Now time to get crazy with modules! Thanks again!

Hmmm. Found 'em! Wonder if I needed root to see those files in the first place. Since this was my first flash away from unrooted stock, I didn't have root yet. Anyhow, deleted them and reflashing the image. So far so good...
I can't seem to be able to install the Xposed Framework after I flashed this image. Is there something I'm missing??

Right you have to have root to be able to delete the dalvik-cache files. I'll edit the first post.

The framework is already installed in the image. You can't install the framework from the Xposed installer for two reasons. First, this root doesn't open up /system for writing (which Xposed normally needs for installation), and two, this alpha version of Xposed for Lollipop doesn't install the framework on its own anyway, it has to be flashed from recovery (but we don't have a recovery yet so it has to be baked in.) Hope that makes it more clear!

It means you just go to the download section and choose the modules you want to install. The installer can't install the framework but it does install the modules you want to use. :good:

The new animation is quite different so you would know if you had it. I had the previous version of this image with Xposed linked in the OP for a few minutes after first posting it. The file you dl'd should have been named XT1096_5.0-tether-root-bb-sqlite3-Xposed.img.rar. If not, dl it again from the link in the OP.

The Xposed framework is alpha 4 but the installer is only alpha 2 because no changes have been needed in that part.

Disregard..I did not realize I had a recovery that I could wipe cache from. I will try that and see if it works.
Thanks for the image- love it, well documented tutorial helped heaps. Do you plan on updating this thread with new updates or by chance taking feature requests?

I decide to share it there because I don't know better place for this...
This is an Xposed framework variant built for MIUI based devices running Android 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0.
Tested and working on latest ROM's on various devices.
Fully working resource hooking and themes.
Prerequisite:
- Custom recovery (CWM, TWRP)
Bugs report:
- If you get any lag, broken feature or any App force closing, post your Xposed logs.
- If you get a boot-loop, reboot and get the logcat with "adb logcat -v time".
Please pay attention:
Archive with Xposed installation contains some necessary information and it is very important to successfully installation to choose right archive.
- "arm" means the devices that are running arm32 operating system and uses ARM architecture CPU.
- "arm64" means the devices that are running arm64 operating system and uses ARM64 architecture CPU.
- "x86" means the devices that are running x86 operating system and uses x86 architecture (Intel) CPU.
- "sdk21" means Android Lollipop 5.0.x
- "sdk22" means Android Lollipop 5.1.x
- "sdk23" means Android Marshmallow 6.0.x
If you try to install wrong archive it will not installed and error message appears in TWRP installation log.
Magisk
Magisk (systemless) variants of archives separated only by Android versions (sdk21, sdk22 and sdk23). CPU architecture will be detected automatically.
How to install:
- Install Xposed Installer app
- Make a nandroid backup
- Copy the Xposed file and the uninstaller to your sdcard
- Flash "xposed-vxx-sdkxx-armxx-MIUI-edition-by-SolarWarez-xxxxxxxx.zip" through a custom recovery (TWRP/CWM...)
- Reboot and wait, it may take several minutes to boot up depending on your ROM size and installed apps amount. If phone still not boot after 5 minutes then you need get boot log by "adb logcat -v time", reboot into recovery and restore backup or de install Xposed
Attention!
Starting from v86 official version of Xposed become more compatibly with ROMs that use a Resources subclass for e.g. theming, like MIUI.
So, try firstly official Xposed on your device. If it will works well (take a look at themes, if they works well, then all Ok), then you doesn't need this version of Xposed.
But I suppose that on some devices official Xposed still may cause bootloops.

All credits go to @rovo89 for his amazing job on Xposed framework
Can you post your sources? Are the "Resources" and "TypedArray" the only changes?
Share your sources please

That was always a issue with xposed and miui, even when I've used it on my nexus 4. Guess it have something to do with permissions with miui.

Not working
Can't install on Redmi Note 2, MIUI 7.3.1 stable (Android 5.0.2).
Error is: "chown: /system/lib/libart.so.orig.gz: Read-only file system".
Manual mounting in r/w mode does not help =(
Actually, this file libart.so.orig.gz is not the first in batch and not the last, but error happens only with it.
update: I have modified SolarWarez's package, now installs normally. Tested, working.
(what i did is disabled script interruption on some errors while setting owner and permissions on files).

How to uninstall Xposed?
I have flashed xposed-v83-sdk22-arm64-MIUI-edition-by-SolarWarez-20160428 but any downloaded and enabled module won't work (even after reboot).
Moreover my Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro is laggy now.
How can I unistall it?
ROM MIUI 7 by miui.it 6.5.5 based on Android 5.1.1.
Edit:
Uninstalled flashing xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip by TWRP
I'll use it when I buy my Xiaomi... in the future...
Hi just discovered a bug: when in stock browser I go to bookmarks/history browser force closes. This also happens when browser tries to show a dialog window (for instance, when you go to xiaomi.eu it asks to install tapatalk). Log attached
Edit: attached another log got when getting to copy text in stock browser
I have flashed xposed-v83-sdk22-arm64-MIUI-edition-by-SolarWarez-20160428 on MIUI7 using Lenovo A7000-a
Xposed give error, Phone freezes and I have to retart it by pulling battery of mobile phone. I am using Xposed for only XInternalSD because its mount SD Card as internal Memory.
When is v84 coming? Hope bugs get resolved and there's compatibility with miui 8
Hello, everyone!
TL;DR: You're about to perform a systemless root installation on your phone so make sure you have uninstalled Xposed Framework, uninstalled root, the device's bootloader is unlocked and your phone's boot image is in its untouched stock state. Then boot into TWRP and install SuperSU-v.279-SR3 or newer.
UPDATE 2017-01-19:
- Provided missing bootloader information regarding root. Thanks, @Charlita for the heads-up!
- Moved TL;DR section to the top.
UPDATE 2017-01-15:
- SuperSU-v.279-SR3 learned how to use systemless mode as default flashing method for Motos. This is great news as the installation process now is just a matter of flashing the SuperSU installer. The segmentation fault had been fixed on SR2 and this version also includes that fix.
- Included a TL;DR section.
UPDATE 2016-12-25:
- SuperSU-v.279-SR1 contains a regression bug regarding the "segmentation fault". Skip this version for now. I've already contacted Chainfire.
- suhide: as the Chainfire himself stated, the tool is a losing game so I'm not putting any further effort here.
UPDATE 2016-11-03:
- As of SuperSU-v2.78-SR3 boot image patching works out-of-the-box. Just install it and you're done!
- TWRP version 3.x works as expected.
- Unfortunately, SafetyNet checking fails as Google constantly updates the server-side code.
- WIP: Check if Chainfire's suhide are able to help here.
UPDATE 2016-08-08:
- Added a backup reminder.
- Added flashable zip systemless_root_enabler_by_glauberlima.zip.
After a few days playing with it, I finally managed to perform a systemless root install for our beloved Moto X 2014
Benefits:
- Install OTA updates when they arrive;
- SafetyNet checking will pass so Android Pay can be used (not available in Brazil yet).
Requirements (links below) :
- Android 6 Marshmallow
- Bootloader must be unlocked otherwise you won't be able to root your phone;
- Boot partition must be in its original untouched stock state otherwise, SuperSU installer won't be able to patch it;
- System partition must be untouched as well but a simple uninstall of applications that have changed it should be enough. This step is not mandatory but if your system partition remains changed SafetyNet checking will fail;
- Your device must be unrooted. SuperSU has the option "Completly remove root". Use it;
- If you have Xposed Framework installed, uninstall it;
- You'll need ADB and Fastboot in order to flash stock boot.img if applicable;
- TWRP. Version 3.0.2-2 works just fine. If you prefer 2x series, I highly recommend version 2.8.7.1;
- SuperSU-v2.79-SR3 zip installer (or a newer version). DO NOT TRY AN OLDER VERSION. WILL NOT WORK;
Install guide:
- Make a Nandroid backup first using TWRP;
- Uninstall Xposed Framework if applicable;
- Uninstall SuperSU;
- Connect your device to your computer via USB;
- Reboot into bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
- Restore stock boot partition (you can skip this step if you already been on stock boot):
Code:
fastboot flash boot xt1097_boot_stock_with_may_2016_update.img
VERY IMPORTANT: The binary file boot xt1097_boot_stock_with_may_2016_update.img is device dependent. I have extracted stock boot.img from victara May 2016 update full ROM package and put it here. If you are trying on the other variants, make sure you will use the right image.
- Reboot into Recovery (TWRP);
- Flash the attached zip file systemless_root_enabler_by_glauberlima.zip. This will set both variables SYSTEMLESS=true and BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false. Without these variables set, SuperSU will fail to systemless root the device. Feel free if you want to manually enter the commands in the Command Prompt:
Code:
adb shell "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>/data/.supersu"
adb shell "echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu"
- Install SuperSU and reboot system. If the first boot fails, just wait - the second will work I promise you!
- As soon as Android UI shows up you should be systemless rooted;
- Confirm SuperSU is installed by recognizing the green icon on your app drawer;
- Open up any root app you have. The world-famous Superuser permission request dialog should pop-up;
- Install SafetyNet Helper, in order to attest your Android, is passing Google's SafetyNet checking: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample
Now you should be good. Congrats!
Go ahead and get some systemless apps:
- Systemless Xposed Framework
- Systemless Adaway
This procedure should work for the other variants too - all you need is the original boot.img
If you need any help feel free to ask.
Attached you can find the screenshots taken from my XT1097 after the procedure

Since your device already has the untouched stock boot you don't need to flash anything.
I seem to be having trouble installing the "Systemless Xposed". It errors out with - ! Failed: Unable to extract zip file!
I have verified "systemless root - ver 2.76" and tried re-downloading the zip. Any thoughts?

Could you provide your recovery.log from TWRP so we can see the detailed logging information?
You can pull it from your device by running the following command in command prompt:
Code:
adb shell cat /tmp/recovery.log | clip
This will copy recovery.log contents to the clipboard. Paste it into notepad then save and attach here.

Hi @vpxf
The unmodified boot.img is a requirement for SuperSU as it tries to patch the boot image on-the-fly during the install process (by the time you flash it using TWRP). If the image is not in its original state, SuperSU will fail to install in systemless mode.
Regarding your question about custom ROMs compatibility I don't know if the SafetyNet checking will pass/fail. That's a good test to perform.

I've attached the log. I did notice "unzip: zip flags 1 and 8 are not supported".
NOTE: I was able to flash the 85.7 version found in the second post of the "Systemless Xposed" thread. The newest 86.2 is the one giving me troubles.
As glauberlima found out in the other thread, you need to re-zip the xposed installer with 7-zip (that's what i used at least) and the install will work.

** Duplicated **
Thanks for the tutorial.
The first boot fails, ok ; but how long is the second boot ?
I wait a long time (around 15 minutes) blocked at the first screent (static moto logo) and I stop it, reboot and reinstall my backup. I panic a little

15 minutes... That's definitely too much.
I'm about to update this guide with my new findings so If you don't mind I'd like to suggest you this:
Repeat the steps but this time skip the update to latest version. After the reboot access SuperSU. It should display a message regarding your su needs update. Accept it.
Make sure your nandroid backup is up to date.
Same thing, but it's possible that my boot image is not up to date and I have no other boot backup to test.
I have only a complete backup (boot + system without root), perahps I'll try later with complete restore ...
Thanks
Something went wrong, the root works fine, but when I run the SafetyNet test, I got "CTS profile match: false", I just want to keep the OTA upgrades working, if I did something wrong, is there any way to unroot and do the systemless root again?? Thankss
Hi! Hey, I followed the steps and my MotoX got stuck when rebooting after flashing. I'm trying to enter fastboot with power+Volume down but no luck so far, any idea? I hope you can help me!

One of your installed apps modified system partition. Did you test on a completly stock image?
There are many threads and it's very difficult to find the Xposed latest version on the Xda.so I made this thread that people can find the latest version of the Xposed framework installer . I will keep Updating the links for the latest version in this thread.
If You want to improve the thread then please pm or post in the comment by quoting my username.
What is Xposed
Xposed is a framework for modules that can change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs. That's great because it means that modules can work for different versions and even ROMs without any changes (as long as the original code was not changed too much). It's also easy to undo. As all changes are done in the memory, you just need to deactivate the module and reboot to get your original system back. There are many other advantages, but here is just one more: Multiple modules can do changes to the same part of the system or app. With modified APKs, you to decide for one. No way to combine them, unless the author builds multiple APKs with different combinations.
Xposed for Android 4.4 or below = Xposed 3.0.1 to 4.4
Xposed for Android 5.1 and latest = Xposed Latest Version
How to install:
- Install Xposed Installer app
- Make a nandroid backup
- Copy the Xposed file and the uninstaller to your sdcard(link is on Xda Try Search)
- Flash "xposed-vxx-sdkxx-armxx-MIUI-edition-by-SolarWarez-xxxxxxxx.zip" through a custom recovery (TWRP/CWM...)
- Reboot and wait, it may take several minutes to boot up depending on your ROM size and installed apps amount. If phone still not boot after 5 minutes then you need get boot log by "adb logcat -v time", reboot into recovery and restore backup or de install Xposed.

Hi all!
So I recently bought a Cubot Max but cant get any Xposed Modules to work!
Specs:
Cubot Max
Android 6.0
FW v11
arm64
I got the zip and apk off the official thread and used the latest sdk23 arm64 version obviously.
I mainly need the modules "Youtube Adawy" and "Youtube background playback".
But for the sake of testing if the issue is a result of incompatibility I also installed the modules
"PinNotif" and "SlideBack".
None of them worked.
The UI of "SlideBack" seemd to work properly while the UI of Youtube Adaway said that the app was not actived, even tho i tried it several times.
The log file read "cannot read log/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log/error.log: open failed: ENOENT" so i created the missing txt file and gave it - rw rw permissions.
Does anyone has a clue what causes this problem?

Exactly I am also facing the same problem.
Same here
Can we have a thread to get the Cubot Max working with Xposed? A 500+ page general thread is difficult to follow. Thanks!
Success!
I did it! This is what I did.
The problem is that there is a firmware error which affects a number of MTK6735 phones and stops Xposed from working. You have to install another module called grorkmod first, but this will not work if you have previously tried to install Xposed. So what I did was set the phone back to its initial state (after backing up data etc.).
1. Download the Custom TWRP and the Cubot Max official ROM from here:
mod edit: link removed
2. Unrar the official ROM, and, using SP Flash Tool, set to "Format and Download", Flash the ROM in full. You will now have an unrooted, untouched factory-set phone.
3. When I did this, the Firmware version (Build Number) was V04 — check this through your system settings as my phone originally arrived with Build Number V09. So, after unzipping the TWRP download, I had to use the older version of the Scatter file. So use SP Flash Tool again, and Flash TWRP and reboot the phone, you will have an unrooted phone but with TWRP installed. Do the usual stuff with becoming a developer and changing the necessary permissions.
4. Now you can transfer files to your phone's memory.
UPDATE-SuperSU-xxx,zip
grorkmod_v1.1+lite.zip
xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip
XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk
5. Boot to Recovery, and, from TWRP:
(a) Install UPDATE-SuperSU-xxx.zip but do not reboot.
(b) Clear Dalvik cache etc
(c) Install grorkmod do not reboot.
(d) Install xposed — this time reboot.
6. Run your file manager and attempt to install the .apk file. If you are diverted to give permission for this, change the settings and do it again.
Hope this helps.
