Hi, im new here and this is my first post, so i appreciate all the help and feedback you can give me.
im interested in using xposed in android TV Box's and Dongles, i've been reading and learning all about it for more than a month now. i've got it to work on most TV Box's and dongles that i have "RK based devices with android V 4.4 or less",but i still have a problem with one device which is an RK3288 based with android 5.1 that is already rooted.
i used twrp to flash xposed-v86-sdk22-arm.zip which was successful, than i wiped Dalvik/cache and rebooted, but the boot stuck on bootanimation, i disabled xposed by installing the uninstaller.zip and everything went back to normal. i tried it many times but with no use. i noticed that twrp doesnt mount internal SD, i installed an older version of bootloader which gave me the ability to mount the internal Sdcard, and i tried to install xposed again and this time it pass the animation and goes to a black screen where i can use the mouse but nothing else. with some research i found that UT3+ is based on firefly board and their original ROM is available for download and it has the same bootloader version that came installed with the device, after flashing the new ROM i was able to mount the internal Sdcard and i tried to install xposed again, and this time it gives me optimizing apps but after it finish the device reboot and get stuck again on bootanimation.
my question is, if there is a log for errors to know why the system/boot get stuck , where can i find them??
and if there is no logs how can i monitor the booting process to find the info i need??
also i know or read what bootloader is but i dont understand how it is effecting xposed installation.
Sorry for the long post, and thank you for your help in advanced
EDIT: i finally got adb connection with the device and used logcat to get the logs, but im not sure how to attach the files. if anyone can help i will gladly send the logs. thanks
Update 1
i was looking at the logs "didnt know what to search for im not a developer" and i noticed that everything is crashing and "Not granting permission" ,"Unknown permission " are everywhere .
sample of logs:
Code:
"com.google.android.partnersetup.permission.WRITE_APP_PROVIDER in
package com.android.vendingW/PackageManager( 4712): Not granting
permission android.permission.BIND_WALLPAPER to package
com.android.camera2 (protectionLevel=18
flags=0x58bc45)W/PackageManager( 4712): Not granting permission
android.permission.BIND_APPWIDGET to package com.android.launcher3
(protectionLevel=18 flags=0x583e45)W/PackageManager( 4712): Unknown
permission android.permission.READ_SETTINGS in package
com.android.launcher3W/PackageManager( 4712): Unknown permission
com.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS in package
com.android.launcher3W/PackageManager( 4712): Unknown permission "
so i decided to root again with KingRoot, and i tried installing xposed again, and it kinda worked. the system boot and the launcher opens but crashing messages keeps showing "Stresstest for 5.0 has stopped running" , "The process com.android.phone has stopped running", and others.
now im not sure about what im doing but i'll test two methods:
1- i will unpake ROM.img put xposed in the root and update the updater script to install xposed when i flash the ROM.
2- the device can run Linux version from SD card so i might run it and manually install xposed files.
if anyone have any tips or info please let me know. thanks
SOLUTION
For those who are having problems with their RK based android TV Box with android 5.1, if you get stuck on Boot animation or the system boots with black screen and you can use your mouse only, or if you getting errors when you boot the main problem would be your firmware is modified and up to Xposed V.86 is not supported because of the error "No implementation found for void dalvik.system.VMRuntime.clam" you can read more about it in this post https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/167.
and luckily dsa8310 made a modefied version of xposed, i tested it and it works you can find the download link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67787484&postcount=325

I can't get to the page with the link. (I get a noob alert) We want to try this xposed on a ugoos ut3s (android 5.1 with a rk3288)
Would someone please be so kind to post it here or tell me where I can download it.
Anyone that can compile Xposed v87 to fix this problem for RK3288 Lollipop devices?
https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/167
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/art/+/379d09fe3c3feb7c2a2fb5a3623689b5ace7e79b
Are there instructions somewhere so we can compile it ourselves?
The code above looks like it needs to be applied to Android source code, what must be changed in Xposed Github code to fix it and compile our own new Xposed only for our devices?
Thanks

Wow ! Work nice on my haier pad971 (ifive air clone) rk3288 5.1.1 !!
Thanks so much
does anyone know if there's an RK3288 enabled xposed v89 built to avoid the issues described by viVaPale? Tried the one from 3.1.5 installer, but after boot it doesn't load the launcher, only mouse can be moved around like viVaPale describes.
Hey! First off, thank you to the creator of magisk, it's amazing and very useful
However, I can't seem to get Fire Emblem Heroes to work. OP3T on stock rom, TWRP and magisk 11.1, nothing else. Using MagiskSU for greenify and adaway and everything works. Manager says I pass the safety net check (used to give a profile mismatch but that went away after rebooting) and I've enabled magisk hide for the app, to no avail.
For what it's worth PoGo seems to be working fine.
What further info could I give you to help and where do I get it?
Thanks!!!!

I just updated from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0 and keep getting the same error message as before (the good old 803-3001).
This is supposed to be a connection error message, but it doesn't make sense -- if I hotspot off my magisk'd OP3T to a stock OPO or a stock iPad, the game works fine, so it stands to reason the connection is good.
Hence my suspicion that it's probably a SafetyNet issue (FE:H, like PoGo, uses SafetyNet -- might be a Nintendo thing). Any idea how to get around it?
Thanks!
Might be an issue where the app also relies on another app or service to find a rooted device. See this thread, the Hiding root post under "Dependencies": https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-magisk-hide-troubleshooting-tips-t3561828

Good idea. I didn't think of that, but alas, the game doesn't ask for any permissions (and none listed in settings) -- so if they do use 3rd party software to check, it doesn't show up in the permission list.
Inspired by Pocket Morty's dependency on Google Play Games, I went and installed that too (I'd removed it as a cruft-reduction exercise) to see if that was it, but it's not. Still doesn't work, same error message.

Yeah, I don't think it has to be as a result of permissions (note to self: update the text)... It might also be that the app is looking for certain prop values. Both of these are hard to figure out without decompiling the apk.

Well now, that's substantially more complicated and probably out of my league I'll have to stick to playing it on the iPad. It's not impossible, just annoying.
Thanks!
you could try on nox pc emulator too, it is working on 1.1 (i had to disable root tho)
i will try with magisk on my phone until i install the apps on LineageOS13
EDIT: @pqueiro it works on LineageOS 13 and using Magisk 11.1, without problems, so i guess can be something of the rom (i can pass the net check too, and PoGo without problems)

The plot thickens. Let me check on my "playground" phone if I can replicate that.
@pqueiro
did you install the game when the Phone was already rooted?
I can replicate this issue when installing the game on already rooted devices - but if I install the game on a non-rooted device and apply magisk afterwards the game launches proper.
Create a nandroid backup, flash the rom and try to launch the game while non-rooted and see if it makes a difference for you.

FYI, tried this (took the opportunity when updating Oxygen OS) and it worked a treat! All is good. Backup > unroot > update > install > magisk all the things and it's working fine.
Thanks!
I recently acquired a 2013 Moto X 1058 (AT&T Variant) and I've unlocked the bootloader with Sunshine, I've flashed Lineage OS 13 and Open Gapps but certain apps (facebook, snapchat, facebook messenger, google chrome) among apps will not download, instead immedietly throw the error "cannot install Facebook, try again later if the problem persists get troubleshooting help error code:0" and it does it for most apps. Few apps install, like Firefox, Kik, Android Messages but I cannot get this fixed, I've tried multiple gapps, redownloaded gapps, flashed different roms and i can't get it working.
EDIT: the unofficial TWRP 3 is poorly built and doesnt set permissions correctly, I had to use the terminal and do this
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /data/media/
find /data/media/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} ';'
find /data/media/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} ';'
Just download it from TWRP themselves.
go seting -->goole play store --> give all permission
I was not able to put in those commands into terminator emulator, kept saying access denied. Any ideas on how to get access or whatever?
I am suffering the same exact problem. I've tried clearing app cache, removing account, wiping cache in TWRP and so on. Nothing is working. I'm not even able to restore the apps via TiBu. Unfortunately it doesn't appear many ppl suffer from error code: 0

hi, after trying your method, I still cant DL using playstore, tried via adb and twrp terminal
I have error code 0 too
I have a Huawei MediaPad 7 youth and some days ago I noticed Google Play Store was uninstalled. I have my tablet rooted, and prior to this everything was fine. I reinstalled Google Play via an APK file on Lucky Patcher's official page (there's the modded Play Store and the original Play Store APKs, I installed the original cause the modded one couldn't install), and I tried to use Lucky Patcher to make it a system app again, but it said it couldn't cause there was few space on /system/app (I have no idea where this folder is, I looked everywhere with my native Android file manager but I can't find it) and told me to free some space on there. So I decided to let Google Play as an user app, but be careful not to uninstall again. Today I opened Play Store for first time since reinstallation, and tried to install two different VPNs, but they both gave me error code 0. Please help me!
It worked on my HTC One M7 Sense 7 Viper 9.0.0 ROM after getting code 0 for multiple apps! Never had this issue before.
Thank you, OP.
I repeat, OP is not telling you to put in random Linux commands. This method actually works! (for me)

You can install terminal apps and from there give root access and execute above cmd.
Yalp Store FTW
Having the same issue I found, downloaded and installed Yalp Store From F-Droid. It finally let me donwload and install/update apps without needing to access play store directly.
I know some might've solved their issues already, but for those who are on CM/LineageOS and need to gain root access, remember that you can enable root in the developer settings... For Lineage 14.1 I'd google, as there are a few steps before that I think.
Hope it helps someone

Hi everyone,
So straight into the problem: I got my phone around the end of November 2018, which was when the Security Patch for that month came out. After that last update, I checked manually every month to see if there was another one. But after 12/14/2018, which was the last time I was able to check for updates, the phone would keep saying that it failed to download update, and a network or server error has occurred. I desperately need help.

Boot into recovery & wipe the cache partition,reboot to system & then try again.
If that doesn't help,try using Samsung Smart Switch on your PC to update.

Sadly, none of the two options worked for me. I have also tried booting into Safe mode, but the same problem would occur again. What else can I do, other than a factory reset?

The only thing I can think of ATM is find the system apps responsible for system updates (two,I believe) wipe the cache & data ,if possible,from both,& try again.
If you are running an unadulterated version of the firmware that shipped with the phone,I'm stumped as to why you cannot update.
If you have any disabled apps perhaps enable them to rule out anything that might be causing this.

Do you have to rely on ADB to wipe the cache and data? I found the two system apps that are used for Software Update (com.sec.android.soagent , com.wssyncmldm), but I can't seem to find the command code to do that.

No,just navigate to Settings > Apps & tap on the 3-dot menu in the corner,select to view all/system apps & wipe each software update app.
If the buttons are greyed-out,then of course that can't be done.

I have just tried wiping the cache and data for the system apps, and also wipe the cache partition of the phone, yet nothing changes. I think what happened was that I accidentally disabled the two system packages for Software Update through ADB before this problem occurs, and now re-enabling them would have no effect.

You can't re-enable apps that have been disabled by ADB w/o a factory reset.
In the future, you may want to consider using one of the Package Disabling apps that are available to avoid situations like this.

If that's the case, then it wouldn't make sense that I were able to re-enable quite a lot of apps disabled by ADB. Or is this a special case where the crucial system apps that when disabled, they can't be re-enabled again?

So problem is solved: I did a factory reset, and the software update works just fine. I guess that the assumption about disabling crucial system apps caused them to not become re-enabled again must be right. Well I learned my lesson now - not to abuse ADB too much when it comes to bloatware. Thank you once again, I appreciate your help a lot.

No problem, glad to be of help.
As for the ADB Removal & re-install of apps, I 1st heard about it from this XDA article/how-to:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/amp/
As it mentions the inability to re-install/re-enable apks, I just took their word for it & never uninstalled anything that I might need at some point.
That's why I like using package disablers, it's easily reversible without a reset.
Regardless, a factory reset isn't the end of the world, just a PITA at most.
Glad you got things going again.
Sorry to bother you again, but now I have problems with package disablers. I'm currently using a package disabler app, and it requires Device Owner App permission in order to disable bloatware apps, which can easily be done through ADB.
adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.pdp.deviceowner/.receivers.AdminReceiver
However, upon doing this, the lock screen of the phone will now show "This device is managed by your organization" at the bottom of the screen, and I don't feel comfortable about it. I have tried to uninstall the package disabler after done removing bloatware, but it wouldn't let me because the app is now a device administrator. I kind of screwed up myself after using the uninstall option inside the app, without knowing that it has completely uninstalled all the bloatware I disabled (instead of uninstalling the app itself), and caused my phone to stuck in boot loop, but I managed to fix that by another factory reset.
What kind of ADB command do I need so I can remove Device Owner App from the package disabler after I'm done disabling the bloatware?? (this is so ironic: disable a package disabler). Very sorry to disturb you again.

Glad the problem was solved. My view is that concern with bloatware is a vestige of the past. On present-day phones, I'd guess that less than 0.1% of storage, memory, processor time, or battery charge are tied up with bloatware apps. So trying to identify and disable them won't have any noticeable benefit, and may well break things.

The message is just a generic one (as used when you grant admin rights for work e-mail,for example).
What it comes down to is if you trust the package disabler app & its developer,as I don't think there is any way to revoke the permission as long as you are using it to disable any apps at all.
I may be wrong on that,but,it seems like that's what's going on here.
If this still bothers you,then the next best solution is to continue using the disabling app long enough to determine which apps you are 100% certain are not needed/wanted.
Make a list & then switch to the ADB method.
That way,you get the admin rights to the disabler app off of your phone,but,you do give up the flexibility of the app as well.
The only way I see around your predicament is gaining root access & using the disabler app w/o admin rights,or,another app such as SD Maid Pro or Titanium Backup Pro.
So, I was going through and removing bloat from my phone and was trying to remove the Samsung Contacts app through `adb`, but apparently I removed the wrong thing and now the Phone, Messages, and Contacts app are crashing every time I try to open them. I removed "package:/system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider/SamsungContactsProvider.apk=com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" which is apparently a core service. I'm wondering if anyone might know how I could reinstall that APK?
install this apk should solve the problem
If worse comes to worse a factory reset will.
A lot of the bloatware is useful. I prefer to use a package disabler as I can easily toggle them on or off as needed real time.

It sat for a minute trying to install and then came up with, "App not installed" and says that every time I retry.
Trying install via adb I get: "

adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts attempting to redeclare permission android.permission.SEND_CALL_LOG_CHANGE already owned by com.android.providers.contacts]"
Hmmm, perhaps I should remove Google Contacts first...
Okay, that helped, but now I'm getting: "
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]"
I thought deleting the "com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" might solve the problem, but trying gave me: "

The first command returns: "Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts installed for user: 0", but the second command returns: "Failure [-3001: INSTALL_FAILED_REJECTED_BY_BUILDTYPE]"
If you have deleted the apk with root you just have to paste it again in the folder /system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider

It is somewhat complicated to recover the device without wipe in the past I had these problems, it was solved with a higher version of the application
@rtd4, I suppose it's time for a wipe... Thanks for trying to help me.
If you had made a copy of all your apps including system apks with ApkExport you could now use that copy to restore it.
Now before you factory reset make a copy of your installed apps and any system updates then save it on the PC or SD card. After the reload you won't need Playstore. It speeds things up a lot...
APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play
Manage and extract your apps.

@blackhawk, thanks for the tip. Right now, I'm trying to set up a Telegram account so I can root my phone (US version) if I'm going to go through the trouble of wiping. Unfortunately, Telegram's SMS verification appears to be broken or at least doesn't like Mint Mobile... Fun day.

You're welcome.
You really don't need to root.
Consider the possible consequences carefully.
Package Disabler will easily block apks you don't want running.
Well, it would appear it's moot anyway since I'm at Baseband v4 and only v1 can be rooted apparently...

This is the one I use:
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.
www.packagedisabler.com
It has an interactive widget that allows you to toggle selected entries on/off. It runs even in Safe mode so be careful what you disable. I've never had to do a factory reset because of it but the potential is there.
Unfortunately it no longer disables Google play Services but will disable all carrier bloatware including OTA updates.

Then how come you have removed apk from system?
In case you have used command like
pm disable packageName . Then try pm enable packageName
Or
If you have used
pm hide packageName then try
pm unhide packageName

So, I was going through and removing bloat from my phone and was trying to remove the Samsung Contacts app through `adb`, but apparently I removed the wrong thing and now the Phone, Messages, and Contacts app are crashing every time I try to open them. I removed "package:/system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider/SamsungContactsProvider.apk=com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" which is apparently a core service. I'm wondering if anyone might know how I could reinstall that APK?
