[Q] Anyone with Xposed working on G4?

I'm about to buy the international version of LG G4. And wondering if anyone has had any success with installing Xposed with no issues.
Also would appreciate if anyone can please direct me for the most safe steps to root the G4
Thanks in advance :good:
i got bootloop with xposed.
there is good rooting guides if you look in g4 threads.
Sent from my unlocked and rooted LG-H815
Too bad :crying:
I'm kinda obsessed using xposed & GravityBox, extremely looking forward to get xposed work on LG G4
If anyone knows the trick, please keep us posted .. and I will .. :good:
From what I recall back when I was running GravityBox on my Nexus devices, it is only supported on Nexus and AOSP-based roms. Pretty sure even if we get Xposed working on the G4, you won't be able to use GravityBox on the stock LG ROM.

Not sure if it would matter as far as this case goes, but I was able to run GravityBox on my Galaxy Note Edge (which was on a modified stock TW rom, so no AOSP-Base), Not sure why it would run on TW and not UX.....but then again, who knows....I guess the whole point is moot if we can not find a way to even get Xposed running in the first place.

Thanks for your reply. I was reading almost all threads about rooting the G4, however, haven't yet found anything about rooting version H818. Please let me know if you have any idea about a successful rooting method for H818.

As you know, you must unlock your boot loader before you can root your G4. Mine is the international or EU model H815 unlocked and rooted back in May. Take heart. It is easy. Key points are: a visit to the LG support site. Then can make your way to the Developer section and register to receive the bootloader unlock code. LG will try three times to dissuade you but will in the end email you the code. Once done the process is "irreversible" and will always show bootloader ulocked (on the boot screen). LG say they have listened to customers (a dig at Sammy and the i-sheep) and have started to roll out the unlock code globally. Yours may be listed already, if not it soon will be. It's been a month now so register / monitor the site. Once you unlock, you'll find step by step method of rooting your G4 here on xda. I posted one myself but thread was closed as there is one there already. Your next query will probably be a lean deodexed ROM or to install Xposed. Sadly, no news on either of those for the G4. Hopefully a bright spark will crack those soon.

That's not accurate, you don't need to unlock the bootloader to root the device. There is root available for most variants in the dev section and none of them save the 815EU and H811 (TMo) variant have an unlocked bootloader available. The H815 you have to get unlocked via the LG support site as you mentioned and the H811 is unlocked by default from TMo.

On the G3 we had a module called G3 Tweaksbox which did a lot of the same things as GravityBox, and more, specifically designed for the G3. We can hope the same happens with the G4!
Long live XPOSED and G3 (G4) Tweaksbox!

Firmware 4.16.401.10 needed, can't find the right one!!

I have this:
modelid: 0P6B20000
cidnum: VZW__001 ( I did supercid this, but still no luck )
I am unlocked and s-off.
I can't for the life of me find a 4.16.401.10 firmware that will flash on my m8. I'm having a weird audio issue that I'm pretty sure is coming from running the latest firmware instead of the 401. (notification sounds get clipped down to a quick blip when/if they play...all other sounds are ok )
Does anyone have any ideas? I keep getting model id fail when I try to flash what I have. Seems almost everything I find is for modelid: 0P6B10000 and cidnum: HTC__001. (international, I think)
Thanks in advance!

Those checks are there for a reason. 401 firmware won't work on your phone. The Verizon variant supports CDMA in addition to GSM (most call it a "CDMA" variant, with the understanding that some GSM bands are supported as well); as opposed to most other M8 versions, which don't support CDMA and are generically called "GSM" versions.
Different radios and different partitioning. Even if you got it to flash, it either would cause major issues or even brick the phone. So be glad you failed.
So what would my options be for installing ROMS that need 401? Do I have some weird bastardized version of the M8?

Basically, yes. Unless you are located in the US and use Verizon as your carrier; you never should have bought this version IMO.
But if that version supports your carrier's 3G and 4G bands (as applicable) it will work fine; but there are limitations with ROMs and firmware.

First off, what is your current firmware (OS number on hboot screen)?
But for the VZN variant, it goes beyond just the firmware. Unless the ROM specifically supports the Verizon version, the ROM won't work without some modifications (kernel).
So your choices are either:
1) Flash ROMs that specifically support Verizon, or
2) Flash an "international" ROM, then flash a custom kernel or Verizon kernel. For details on this method, you can probably look in the Verizon M8 section.
Which version should I look for?
ScottyMCSE said:

Which version of the M8? I'm not suggesting you get rid of what you have. But your ROM choice is either limited, or you need to do some tinkering to get "international" ROMs to work.
I'll get another m8, no problem there. I'm on Verizon, so what do I get?
ScottyMCSE said:

Since VZN is your carrier, the VZN version of the M8 is what you want. If you switch to another version, it won't even work on VZN since they are a CDMA network (voice and 3G).
You are just subject to the ROM limitations I mentioned. Plus, you can't flash any other firmware beside VZN firmware.
I asked before (and you didn't answer) what is your current firmware (OS number in hboot)?

Your firmware is up to date (Lollipop). That's as good as you can hope on the VZN version, since you can't flash any other firmware.
I completely understand that, but now I'm back to what I've been searching like crazy for. 401 for VZW.

You've completely missed my point, and an extremely important one. No firmware for the "GSM" version of the M8 (including 401) is going to work on your VZN phone. If you try to flash a 401 firmware, and it passes signature checks you will probably brick the phone.
You can only flash 605 firmware on your phone, due to partition and radio differences. You are already on the Lollipop Verizon firmware (4.17.605), you need not mess with the firmware at all; and I suggest you stop trying to do so.
I assume you want a custom ROM. My recommendation is to pick one that explicitly states it supports the Verizon version.
My bad. Now I feel stupid. I was under the impression that they had the same firmware VERSION for different carriers. Sorry for the n00b questions.
I am running Viper and am having a weird audio issue (like I described in the first post) and it says on the ROM page that it's for the 401 firmware. This is from the Verizon forum, too. That's where my confusion is. If I could get the crazy notifications problem solved, I'd be done. It does the same thing on LeeDroid and IC as well. But I've been running the same 605 firmware the whole time. That's why I got to thinking I had the wrong firmware and that was possibly causing the issue.

Just a thought from me, have you tried flashing the stock Verizon RUU and checking if your sound problem still exists? It may be that the ROMs you are using are causing the problems with sound.

They have the same 4.xx version (Lollipop firmware) for each carrier.
But by definition, the 401 in the number 4.16.401 is actually a carrier specific number. Meaning 401 specifically and solely applies to the Euro unbranded CIDs. And 605 in 4.17.605 refers specifically to Verizon.
It a somewhat esoteric piece of knowledge, so you only know what you know; and its understandable if you misunderstood or misinterpreted.

Any Lollipop firmware is typically okay for the current ROMs, it doesn't actually need to be a specific number such as 4.16.401. So you might be misunderstanding that part. What they actually mean, is that you need to be on 4.xx firmware, not 3.xx, etc.
I'm not that familiar with the intricacies of running the ROMs on the VZN variant, since its kind of an oddball variant (as discussed). But I have a feeling that as long as you are sure you are on 4.17.605 firmware, the issue is with the kernel, AROMA options, audio mods, or some other similar issue not playing well with your VZN variant.
On that note, are you running any audio mods (like Harmon Kardon or Viper4Android) or just the stock Boomsound?

I think you're right. I have a pretty good feeling that the issue is the ROM, kernel, AROMA options or something of the sort (and not firmware) causing the issue.
Thanks for the explanation.
I'm definitely on the 605 firmware.
I switched back to the Adrenaline ROM. Fastest ROM I've ever used. No sound issues SO FAR, but he's also using Buck's kernel. I'm thinking that may be why? This ROM is running HK audio, not Boomsound. The others I used I left the default Boomsound on.
Either way, the battery life on this ROM is just insane. I'm going on 48 hours now, and I'm just now at 50%.
On a slightly different note.... I've been trying to find a way to disable calendar notifications on the lock screen only. This is pretty much all I could find. Is there another way? (only want to remove from the lock screen, not notification bar or sound.)
Problem solved! I installed Google calendar app and turned on its notifications, then turned off notifications on the default calendar app. Worked perfectly...I still get the notification sound and task bar reminder, but no lock screen alert. The Google app synced my exchange server email, Facebook, etc. Whew...I really didn't want to return this phone.

Wifi tethering option not available in hTC One M8

Hello everyone,
I received an hTC m8 (Harman Kardon edition) as a gift. When I received the device, it was factory locked through Sprint Mobile. After a lot of research on internet and on this forum, I have unlocked it to use GSM services in India, and its working fine now.
But now the problem is it does not have the Tethering option. I want to tether my M8's internet connection with other devices but it has no option to enable WiFi tethering or anything. I have also tried a few third party tethering app from play store like(FoxFi, Wifi Tether, etc..) but had no luck. They all failed to start the hotspot and establish a connection.
Screenshot: http://imgur.com/Tl3dxzD
Please help me, how can I enable the tethering or internet sharing option on my device.
Device Specs:
1: Model no: 831C
2: Rooted and Unlocked
3: Android Version - 4.4.2
4: S/w Version - 1.54.654.13
Please help me and let me know if more details are required about my device.

Agree that a custom ROM is likely the easiest way to enable tethering.
Be sure to use one that supports the Sprint version M8.
Also, your firmware needs to be updated before running current ROMs.

Post #2 above already suggested a couple ROMs.
Any ROM that supports the Sprint M8 should have tethering working. I'm not a fan of recommended certain ROMs. I'm not even a Sprint owner for one thing. But more importantly, ROM choice is a matter of personal choice. Its like asking me to pick a favorite color for you.

Thanks for the support redpoint73.
One more question is that you suggested me to flash a "custom ROM that supports the Sprint version M8", though I have an unlocked device, also sprint services are no longer being used as I am using services of Idea telecom in India and I suppose it can support global carriers now.. so is it mandatory to pick the Sprint version only or should I choose a global version.?
I have also read somewhere that sprint charges extra bucks to use its mobile data for tethering services, may be installing a sprint version ROM restricts that tethering option to appear (Just assuming, don't know much about these stuffs).

A custom ROM that supports the Sprint M8 is not the same as a Sprint ROM (such as stock Sprint) or using the phone on the Sprint network.
Its absolutely important to pick a ROM that supports the Sprint M8 (or flash the kernel to get another ROM to work - more on that in the next paragraph). Whether or not the device was SIM unlocked, or even changing the ROM does not change the fact you have a "Sprint M8". There are significant differences between the Sprint and other M8 versions (and being SIM unlocked or flashing a ROM won't change it - actually nothing will) in that the partitioning and radios are different. In this way, your phone will always be a "Sprint version" M8. The difference is important to understand, not just for flashing ROMs; but if you decide to s-off the phone and flash another versions RUU or firmware, it won't work, and you may even brick the phone. So don't do it!!!
If you flash a ROM that doesn't specifically support the Sprint version, it won't boot. You may be able to get those ROMs to work by flashing the proper kernel, but you can probably find more discussion about that in the "Sprint" specific M8 forums, from other Sprint version users, etc.
Custom ROMs will almost always have tethering enabled. Even if it started as a Sprint-based ROM, the dev will most likely have removed the tethering restrictions. That's one of the things that makes these ROMs so great!

5.0.1 root available?

Hi everyone, hope you're having an amazing day!
I was wondering if there is a root available for the SM-N910V running 5.0.1. I've looked on google, and there are lots of yes, and no answers. Could someone help clear this up for me?

Dont search for root, root method is already there for developers edition, so the fact that ROOT IS ALREADY THERE is 100% true.
What you need to search for is either "unlock bootloader" or "rooted firmware" or "rooted kernel" or something else.
Not much so far.
Just make sure when u search google, click search tools and select more recent results. That way u dont end up finding most popular pages that are many many months old.

Actually, requesting root for 5.0.1 in this forum is quite appropriate and very different from unlocked bootloaders, rooted firmware or rooted kernel. In fact, installing a new kernel or rom usually requires an unlocked bootloader and getting that done usually requires a root method first so there's some chance of writing a new recovery. With root, methods such as what is now known as SafeStrap (the result of a technique discovered by Birdman, matured by myself and then claimed by another person who's made a habit of claiming others' work as his own) can allow for quite a bit of customization, but typically not so much as a new kernel, let alone different ROMs.
Right now, the state of the Note 4 is that only the Dev Edition (DE) has much of anything going on. You'll find all sorts of frustrating and unclear information about KingRoot, but it's of almost no use unless you think you can abuse it to search for a more complete and permanent root method, but if you knew how to do such a thing, I doubt you'd be here asking for root If you see ROMs or anything else advanced in this forum that doesn't specify it's only for the DE, assume it is.
I've been around since the days of CupCake (and built WiMo roms previously, along with some of the earliest ROMs and rooting) and based on experience, I'd say that the only chance left seeing root on the retail Note 4 is if another root method (new as of today/2015-12-28) is discovered elsewhere that applies to 5.x/5.0.1 OR the Note 4 sees another OTA and we get really lucky (unlikely).
exactly why am returning it and getting S5. But even with S5 its unclear if towelroot will work or not.
I assume it will if S5 was not updated to 5.0+ but runs older 4.4.4. Is this correct assumption ?

Yes but I would do some reading in the Verizon s5 forum because there is a build cutoff for root on the s5. If you're getting a new s5 from Verizon the chances are low you will get one without the latest build at this point

Is there any work being done to try and root it or is it locked never happening
Don't see it happening. The days of unlocked bootloaders, TWRP and even simple root seem to be over for the unlocked USA snapdragon versions. I can live with that but no esim on the 'ultra flagship' device is simply unacceptable, IMO.
If you go back and read the posts about rooting, you will find the all but 1 or 2 models can be unlocked. the US Unlocked is not rootable. Make sure you read through the posts, you can usually find the answer in the threads.
I appreciate the responses. So let's say I was willing g to sell this one to buy one that can be rooted. Which model am I looking for? I just use a prepaid phone service. But like being able to jump from one service to another.
That is also listed on the forum thread titles.

Would you trust someone else or a company to use unknown software on your device then install and log in to all of your stuff not knowing if they installed anything malicious?
What about model SM-F926U? rootable or not?
As stated here and in other threads, there is no root for the U/U1. Doing so has negative effects to the ROM, such as disabling the camera.
IF there was/is a successful Root process, the community will blow up with threads explaining how.

Try it out ! and tell us back

That is the first step to unlock the bootloader
Not seeing that OEM option in Developer options.............so I'm not willing to try it out, don't want to brick the device.

Because you can't unlock the bootloader as said before , no OEM option = no unlock

Yes, any post that says they can root the Fold 3 U/U1 is wrong. You will have consequences like losing camera and such.
Yes, it is wrong. This has been explored at length. I'm sorry it isn't a reality, but that's where we are.
