lost recovery/can't boot into CWM/TWRP/Philz

So I've rooted my Z3c using dual recovery method, and later on flashed the Rectify mod, and everything seemed to be working well until I wanted to flash a file in recovery (I know I had CWM working at one point) but it is not working. I found the little NDR tool in the Rectify mod and tired the various recovery options (previously I would just use up on volume key). Well this is when I started noticing it not working and so I tried the manual volume key approach and still it is not working. I installed busy box and have found that can sometimes cause problems with NDR/Recovery however I attempted to uninstall was going to try different location but that's broken now too... I think.
So anyway, my problem is, if I re-install DualRecovery it still does not go to recovery.
Please help me get to Recovery mode so I can reflash rom.
Thank You

Have you installed a different busybox, most others aren't compatible with XZDR and will cause this kind of issue.

I'll tell you what I did, I downgraded firmware using flashtool, followed the dualboot method to upgrade while re-rooting and confirming recovery along the way (this seems to work) then as soon as I install rectify (making sure to flash dualboot flashable zip file before reboot) I'm no longer able to access recovery, not manually or using NDR. I also didn't intall busybox yet.
Oh boy what now, I'm back to square one.

I'm an idiot, what's the rectify mod? Point me to a download link and I'll see if there's something in it that's causing issues with XZDR.
Edit : I see its rectify rom. Well it most likely includes it's own version of busybox, hence the issue.

[Q] Xposed not running L90 D415 5.0.2

Greetings, all. I'm a big fan of using Xposed modules for my phone, especially YouTube Adaway but since I upgraded via kdz to 5.0.2 this evening I can't get Xposed to run even after reboot using the apk found in the Xposed lollipop thread. I tried to check the log files to be able to post the output here but it won't read those either. Has anyone been able to get this to work and if so, how? Any help is greatly appreciated as the main reasons I root is for ad blocking and titanium backup

My bootloader is still locked so to my knowledge there's not a way to flash a zip without a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM and the like). Maybe I read the thread wrong and you had to both flash the zip and install the apk
Edit: Yes, that is correct, I read it wrong. The zip must be flashed for the framework to install. Is there a way to flash a zip without a custom recovery? This is the first phone I've had with a locked bootloader, all the other ones I just installed a recovery from here and ran/modded it

The L90 of D415 has a unlocked bootloader by deafult, I never unlocked mines and flashed recovery, Just flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/recovery-twrp2-7-1-0lgl90w7xxshoxx-t2826150 using Flashify, download the img and open Flashify and select flash recovery then select that image and in that app you should be able to reboot to recovery to flash the xposed zip. Since I've never tried it I dont know how well xposed runs on stock lollipop remember to backup.

Thank the gods for that then! I am leaving tomorrow on a trip and need my phone fully functional for the duration (hooray GPS) so just to be safe I'm going to hold off on flashing the custom recovery until I get back on Monday and will also flash the Xposed framework then as well and report back. Thanks for the help! I will update this thread after flashing just in case others are looking for this to say whether or not it worked.

Hello,
I was able to get xposed running well on 5.0.2. However i didnt flash stock kdz, I flashed a modified stock ROM found in the development section (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/rom-l90-d415-lollipop-xtreme-v1-0-4-25-t3092813)
After flashing the ROM as described in the link above, i rebooted to recovery. I then flashed the xposed zip file. After that, I wiped cache and dalvik cache (VERY IMPORTANT to avoid any storage errors). Finally I did a normal boot, and it installed perfectly. Hope this helps! Best of luck my friend

Sorry for late response
Turns out my boot loader was in fact unlocked. TWRP through Flashify and then install the zip through there, then install the apk and reboot again. Thank you both so much for the information!

Correction

While Xposed installed and worked it also soft bricked my phone in that I kept getting "unfortunately com.android.phone stopped working". Not sure if it's the program itself or the fix memory leak module I installed. Thankfully I had a backup right before I flashed that zip and it appears my phone is working again. Not sure if I will try to install it again without the memory leak patch or not. Thoughts?

Sadly, this also led me to restore my stock, modded KK backup. What I found to be a temporary fix is to wipe cache/data for the phone apk as well as the SIM Toolkit, then reboot. It appears fixed for some time, but then reappears. This problem seems to arise whenever you use wifi or mobile data, and goes away when you switch them off (at least that was my experience).
I think that the main culprit is the Xposed framework itself. I was told by others it's not fully compatible on stock LP for the L90, but still tried it either way. I got too many mods I like to not use Xposed, so I rolled back to kk. If you can live w/o Xposed then try LP with no framework and see what happens. Best of luck!

How sad I will continue to monitor the Xposed threads then to see if/when it's fully functional with stock Lollipop.
I was in panic mode with my phone yesterday not working because it happened right when my car decided to also quit working so I saw those possible fixes as well and neither worked. Thankfully I backed up through TWRP right before I flashed the Xposed zip so that save my butt,

Problem from uninstalling xposed (SOS)

Hi. i'm on Galaxy S6 6.0.1 marshmallow (STOCK ROM) that recently rooted and installed Xposed custom build by wanam.
I regret after finding out that i was unable to use barclays banking app and snapchat;
Unsure if my phone is soft bricked due to my history of actions:
First, i have installed normal xposed that caused bootloop and then proceed to replace it with the custom build version by wanam upon researching in the forums.
Upon finding out that i was unable to use the apps mentioned above after booting,
I unrooted my phone believing it was due to the root without removing xposed. It still didn't work so I rerooted it back just to remove xposed.
After flashing the uninstaller.zip, it went on bootloop again. I tried flashing several uninstaller including the one provided by wanam and it all didn't work.
The only solution i found in the internet was to deleting the file on data/data/de.****xposed via TWRP file manager. That didn't work as well and I panicked when the reboot button in TWRP weren't working anymore so i manually rebooted and proceeded to wipe my data heavy-heartedly which also didn't bypass the bootloop.
Now, i am left with no option and only able to use my newly wiped phone after reinstalling Xposed again.

Did you wipe dalvik&cache after flashing the uninstaller?

Yes, although i need to manually reboot it as TWRP doesn't reboot automatically for me.
Would you think that might be the problem?

I don't think so. I would suggest that you ask for help in wanam's Xposed thread as this is the version you installed.

Issues with Magisk Moules: Doesnt show Modues, cannot install them

Hello Guys,
After trying around for days i decided to turn to a Forum to seek help.
I have the following Problem:
After trying for Ages to install Magisk on my Samsung XCover 4 (because there is no TWRP or CWM recovery for this Phone) i finally managed too find out how to get the boot.img and install magisk and later that day also some modules(For example Smalipatcher). But two days ago there was an option to update Magisk, and i tried it. The thing that happend was that my Phone crashed after updating and i was stuck in a bootloop which was going from reboot automatically in the system recovery/bootloader and so on. I had to reflash stockrom and resetted everythig to the way it was before updating. BUT: there was a Issue. After reflashing stock and rerooting my old patched_boot.img.tar with old magisk (v.18.1) i was not able to install modules anymore. After trying to install Terminal Emulator the Log said:
-extracting module files
-Setting permissions
-Done
And i was curios, because last time i installed it, it was very much longer, and after checking installed modules, it was nowhere to find. Same thing with Smalipatcher. nowwhere to find as well.
What can i do?? I really need to get the old ,,Working´´ Magisk with modules back for some spoofing shenanigans.
i hope someone can help me.
If you need my stock rom or something else to help me, im gonna provide it asap.
thanks

Need help to root.

Hi, this is my first post, sorry for my english is not my native language. OK, let's put my problem up now, i'am trying to root for some personal uses and for knowleged, but the ROM i chose to root is giveing my some headaches, i'am using Pixel Experience (i wanted the extended but it won't download in my pc) and everytime i try to install with TWRP it's got stuck on a bootloop, i tried to use the bootloop fix from the TWRP but it did not work so i discover that i need to factory reset, in the recovery mode from the ROM, to get this thing going but this bring the problem that the TWRP don't recognize the memory of my phone (looks like it got encrypted again ¬¬) so this is my problem. Someone knows how to solve it ? I'am using the version 3.0.1 from the TWRP, yes i know there is a more updated version but everytime i install the ROM it got the TWRP deleted to put up the ROM Recovery, so i got to use a version to boot it up form my pc. I really want to know how to root and i searched the web for far to long and i'm very confused too. Thanks for any help.

For Android 11 custom ROMs, you will need to use TWRP 3.4 by Nebrassy which installs Magisk wonderfully. You can get the img file here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682947337 .
With that img downloaded, boot to it by using fastboot, then tap on "Advanced" button, "Install Recovery Ramdisk", then select the img again to install it definitely. This will overwrite the original ROM TWRP (and vice-versa).
If you don't understand any specific part of my reply, feel free to point it out.
