I've rooted my Galaxy S5 AT&T ( G900A ) by following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/guide-merry-christmas-heres-t3516196
No issues there, but I'm having a hard time spoofing the location, I've tried following the Smali Patcher guide but with no luck, I get this: ERROR: Incomplete framework dump, required files missing.
Honestly I just need to figure out a way to GPS spoof on this phone, it doesn't have to be rooted, please help thank you.

Greetings!
I have put the CWM on my S4 Active (branded for T-Mobile) and then attempted to root my S4 Active, but the process failed.
Although I managed to upload everything necessary via Heimdall (I'm using Linux so Odin is not an option) and the CWM was successfully activated, the actual rooting process ultimately failed.
When I attempt to invoke su in a shell, nothing happens (no superuser privileges).
A restart of the device ran normally, therefore the attempt seems not to have bricked it.
Is there a way how to still get things going despite things having failed? Or is there any way to undo the modifications done before so I get a clean starting point to begin with?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Good day people of xda dev forum.
I've just retired from a 12 hour nonstop search to simply use xposed framework on my android 5.0.2 lollipop ( mobile: sm-g901F samsung galaxy s5 plus)
Now bear with me cause this was a really confusing ride.
It started with me wanting to use xposed itself ( obviously). I installed the installer and xposed modules. Then i saw framework couldn't load executable. So i searched around an apparantly it needed to be flashed manually for it to work properly. So i googled ALOT to understand the world of rooting and flashing mobiles ( i've never done either) and ended up using odin for the rooting with iroot and flashing a recovery called ttwrp. After many errors i finally got it to work and both were succesfully on my phone. So next i downloaded a package from the xposed framework downloads and it was the wrong one causing my phone to softbreak.
So i redone the entire firmware and did more research. Turned out i needed to know what sort of cpu i had ( turned out to be ARM) So i downloaded a arm sdk 21 package since thats what you need for android 5.0 and it soft broke again.
Redone the firmware, checked out why oh why it failed to work and then i found out i needed to deodex my stock rom since alot of changes occured causing xposed to be screwed up on a normal stock rom.
SO, after searching hundreds of outdated 2010-2012 threads with a few 2015 posts i found out about xultimate v2.4.2. did all the steps on there and i ended up with the error: next time don't disconnect the phone. No searches were succesful for that error so i moved on to other ways of deodexing. Short version of that: found 2 batch files automatically doing it for you and the only thing you had to do was find your system and firmware files on your phone ( using pc ) and paste it into the program so it knows where it's located.
And... i can't access those files on my pc using usb ( yes i debugged it and did everything you could find on the outdated forums of the web)
Used android commander, couldn't find the device cause it was offline for the program even though it was online if i went to check in adb's build platform CMD.
Tried another few things and short story: it didn't work.
Now im out of ideas, i've wasted a day of my weekend coming along all errors you could possibly have and now im lost, all i want to do is make xposed framework work on my mobile so i can make use of the xposed modules.
Can anyone please help me out, im really desperate and frustrated now, i can't think of anything more to do here ( ps: i also tried finding a already done deoxeded rom and no dice)
Install cm13 - install xposed - done

I recently completed the Step by step tutorial to upgrade my ATT Galaxy Note 3 to Lollipop and Root it, provided here: droidviews.com/update-att-note-3-with-lollipop-ota-and-root-it
Everything seems to have worked out, despite a few errors on my behalf (forgot to back up and boot loop forced me to factory reset and start over. Oops), but now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get Xposed Framework installed. Since I'm now upgraded to Lollipop, I no longer have access to Safestrap, so I tried to install the Xposed Framework in the stock recovery, which failed. Also, I did confirm that I have Root.
Everything I've read states I need to use custom recovery, such as TWRP, but I can't find a way to install it on my device.
Can somebody please help me out here?
Anyone have any idea if Xposed Framework can be installed on Note 3 w/ Lollipop 5.0 using FlashFire?

It can, I've done it before. Worked perfectly.
I am aware that this can be done by rooting an S5 running 4.4.2 and then downloading More Locale 2 from google play but I am in need of a solution for updated devices. Ones I cannot flash down to 4.4.2 to root. I have tried adding the language packets from the G900I firmware to the G900A. Even tried adding data to make the checksum correct in order to flash the signed firmware but it is not working. It seems that someone either has to root the newer version or find a way to flash firmware with the language onto an unrooted device. Currently all of mine are running either 5.0 or 5.1.1. They are all unlocked but unrooted. I will pay you for a working method. Im not going to pretend I know whats fair so you tell me what you want and i'll take it to my customer. Please DM me if you're interested. Thank you.
Mods, if this is in the wrong place please let me know and I will move it to Q&A
Good Morning,
I have a g930a ATT samsung with old android 6.0.1 that I want to root, but all of the files that I would need no longer seem to be working, or have been removed by a mod. I know that I will need to use an engineering boot file to do it, but I cannot find it for my specific build on the forum, and I don't trust the outside websites that might softbrick my phone. Also, if anyone has the stock ATT files for my build of Android, or even android 7, I would appreciate it. If Mods don't allow the links, then can you please send it to me in a private message.
Thank You in advance
