Android N - Flash mods and kernels in ENCRYPTED mode with default RECOVERY - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This thread is to only inform that i could Flash surround sound mod and EX kernel without decrypting and with default recovery installed in Android N DP3. This was possible only by FLASHFIRE app by our great CHAINFIRE. So all thanks to him.
I flashed Android N DP3 clean. Then rooted with CF Autoroot 2.70 in Windows 10 without decrypting. Booted and updated with supersu 2.74 flashed through FLASHFIRE. only thing i did was enable MOUNT READ/WRITE in every flash. Then flashed the ex kernel zip and FLASHFIRE supported aroma installer too. Lastly i flashed surround sound mod. Everything is working great and my device is still ENCRYPTED
Thanks to CHAINFIRE again.:good::good::good:

Installed full 3.2.8, help with xposed?

So I wont say I tried everything but have been reading and trying solutions and they havent worked for me. Maybe someone can point me in a different right direction. So far I clean installed 3.2.8(twice btw), I'm fastbooting into twrp 3.0.2-1, flashed supersu 2.78 SR4 and flashed xposed framework v87.
Sometimes xposed framework v87 flashes in twrp and when I open xposed installer it says xposed framework is not installed. I attempt to then unintstall and try again and sometimes it fails in twrp with this message "cp: cant create '/system/xposed.prop':Read-only file system". I attached a screenshot. I'm also running xposed installer 3.1.1, also tried 3.0.1 by dvdandroid. Any suggestions?
Have you tried Magisk and Systemless Xposed?

Are you asking if I tried it in the past on my onplus3? I didnt see anyone trying it now with 3.2.8 so I didnt think of it.

I'm using it on 3.2.8 currently and all works well so far.
Here's how I did it: Clean flashed 3.2.8 using sideload with official recovery, then booted twrp-3.0.2-1 (from twrp.me), flashed Magisk v9 and flashed the phh-superuser. After booting into android, installed phh's SuperUser from Playstore, and installed Magisk Manager, then installed Xposed systemless arm64 sdk23 using the inbuilt downloader (or use the zip on the thread).

Thanks it all worked and went green except when I tried to download the systeless arm64 sdk23 from within magisk manager. I ended using a test1 version and it went through. Now I wasnt even planning on using magisk but how are you using magisk? When I used it before it was for android pay but I thought that all broke.
Installing xposed breaks SafetyNet anyways and I have no use of Android pay or Pokemon Go etc.
But, with magisk I can install and mod system files without making changes in the system partition like dpi, Viper, SystemUI mods etc. I really like it for the ease of that.
I have installed Xposed on 3.2.8 with a success from the beginning. Steps I've taken:
1. Dirty flashing full zip OOS 3.2.8.
2. Flashing systemless SuperSU from Chainfire (you have to:
Code:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true >> /data/.supersu
for systemless).
3. Flashing Xposed v87-test version, which now disappeared from dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/
4. Flashing ElementalX 0.28.
I was upgrading from 3.2.6.

OxygenOS 3.2.7 with v87.1 Magisk version installed. Got stuck at boot animation when dirty flashing to oos 3.2.8. Any ideas? Is there compatibility problem with xposed modules?
I would use a newer recovery, twrp-3.0.2-23-oneplus3 is the latest and I've had zero issues with it. I uploaded it to drive vs searching for it. Next, as stated, install Xposed via the app, version 3.0.1 by dvdandroid is what I'm using and after selecting arm64 api23 , granting root, it installs, reboot and done.

G928TUVU4DPK6 Firmware Root Issues

Has anyone upgraded their firmware to PK6 and attempted to root? I don't have any issues flashing TWRP with Odin. None whatsoever. When I flash a SuperSU zip or a PHH Superuser zip, I cannot get past the T-Mobile boot animation. It freezes every time. Once this happens I cannot boot to recovery. I can only boot to Download Mode. Hell, I can't even power down my device after I flash a root zip. Just curios if anyone has dealt with this issue. I have attempted to flash SuperSu zips starting with the 2.71 Beta up to the 2.78 SR5 with zero luck. I've also tried with PHH Superuser and I get the same results. Can anyone shed and light on the subject?
After several failed attempts to root my Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928T) with the latest firmware update to 6.0.1, G928TUVU4DPK6, this is what I had to do to get a working root solution. At no time did I ever have a problem installing TWRP with Odin. Ive been using Odin 3.12.3 but I had the same issues with Odin 3.10.7.
I started with a clean slate and performed a fresh install of the stock firmware which I downloaded from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...al/sm-g928t-stock-odin-g928tuvu4dpk6-t3516310
After flashing the stock firmware with Odin 3.12.3 I did the basic setup on my device to make sure I could boot and everything was working. Next, I shut down my device and booted to Download Mode by using the key combination of Volume Down + Home + Power. Once booted into Download Mode I used Odin again to flash TWRP 3.0.2-0, which is available here:
https://dl.twrp.me/zenltetmo/
After the flash was complete I booted to recovery using Volume Up + Home + Power. When TWRP starts it will ask you if you want to swipe to allow system modification. If you swipe to allow system modifications you will trigger DM-Verity and you will not be able to boot normally unless you flash a custom kernel that has DM-Verity disabled in the fstab or you can flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip that I dowloaded from here:
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
The newest version available is 5.0
So, I swiped to allow system modifications. Next, I transferred the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip from my PC to my device and installed the zip in TWRP. Once this was completed, I transferred my root zip from my PC to my device. I used the PHH Superuser to root my device which is available here:
https://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip
I installed the root zip in TWRP, wiped cache/dalvik cache and then selected Reboot System. I didnt know if I would be able to boot or not. I could never get past the T-Mobile boot animation each time I attempted to root this damn thing but low and behold everything went as planned and I was fully booted up and running. I went through the setup wizard and everything was working as it should.
I am using PHH Superuser instead of Chainfires SuperSU. Its a personal choice for me as I have been using PHH Superuser since the hand off of SuperSU to a new company, CCMT, LLC.
Once I was finally able to boot normally I downloaded PHH's app in the Play Store from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser
This is just my experience of what I had to do to get root working on my S6 Edge+. All of my root apps are working as designed. I cant remember the last time I didnt have a rooted device and it was starting to bother me. I was having root withdrawals. If anyone decides to upgrade to the latest firmware from T-Mobile and wants a working root solution, here is what worked for me. I have not tried to use Chainfires SuperSU again. If you dont want to use PHH Superuser and wanted to use SuperSU instead, try to insert SuperSU in place of PHH Superuser and see what happens. Do this at your own risk because I have not tested it with this solution that I found. Good luck. Happy Rooting!!

I tried that version too and I ended up with the same problem each time. I figured it out last night though. Im going to update my OP with the steps I had to take to get it working and that way if anyone upgrades to the latest PK6 firmware for their G928T and has this problem my thread is available with a solution.

Supersu and h2O2 color accent mod

So i tried to install this mod without succes.
First Just installed it without wipe over oxygen os 4.0.1 l, failed to boot.
Second try i installed supersu and full wipe. It did boot but I couldnt use my phone because the installed supersu caused my sim card to not get recognized.
Which supersu did you guys use? Or could it be I have the wrong TWRP?
Im pretty sure I used the right twrp so the sim card issue must come from supersu
Fixed it, I used supersu 2.74 instead of 2.79. thanks!

Try to unroot device through supersu app. This normally works on my device. If device doesn't boot after this flash factory image deletinng "-w" in flash-all.bat. In supersu thread you also find somewhere a unsu.zip to flash in recovery to totally unroot a device.

Flashing SuperSU doesn't root my device

Hello everyone,
I have the Xiaomi Redmi 5A.
Currently I am running Official Pixel Experience ROM (8.1.0, oreo) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-5a/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3801702 on it. It so happens that when I try to flash SuperSU latest zip, the flashing goes fine but the device doesn't get rooted on checking in a root checker app and also no SuperSU app comes in the app drawer after flashing. I am not sure why this happens. But flashing magisk roots the device. Why not SuperSU?
In the Pixel Experience ROM thread they told to use vendor TWRP and not the Official TWRP but even on vendor TWRP I don't get root access after flashing SuperSU...
Previously I was using Unofficial Lineage OS (14.1, nougat) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi.../unofficial-lineage-os-14-1-redmi-5a-t3773985 on my device. In Lineage OS when I flash SuperSU I get root access and also the SuperSU app comes in the app drawer. Why not in Pixel Experience?
Is the kernel responsible for this?
Is it something related to "mount"?
I come across this "mount" word in TWRP but I'm not sure what does this mean...
In TWRP while flashing SuperSU I saw "ramdisk restore failed, aborting". What does that mean?
Also is it related to SuperSU being a system-less root software and magisk being a system-based one?
Please help me... It's driving me nuts!:crying:
P.S. I know magisk is better but I want SuperSU, so don't suggest me to use magisk and forget SuperSU.:laugh:
Thanks.

Hello,
I don't know exactly what you are encountering but SuperSU should work on this ROM and run fine. I ran this ROM before and SuperSU works fine. I now switched to Magisk because I need ViPER4Android to work on Oreo.
Unless you are running a Treble based ROM, that is a different story. If you are running a Treble based ROM, please refer to this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76937637&postcount=24 thread to get root working.
CONTINUE TO READ IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING A TREBLE BASED ROM,
I need to get some things straight. Android with version 6.0 (Marshmallow) and above (should) and (only) run systemless mode (including SuperSU). I came across a thread and read that root with Marshmallow and above would not work without patching bootloader and make system unmodified.
SuperSU and Magisk are almost the same. Magisk just offers extra module repository and SuperSU just offers root. SuperSU works both in system mode and systemless mode but Magisk only works in systemless mode.
This might help you:
- Do a clean flash (Wipe System, Data and Cache)
- Try using this latest version of SuperSU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 (SuperSU v2.82 SR5 released by Chainfire himself)
- If it doesn't work then something might be wrong with the boot partition.
- If you really need root and SuperSU REALLY DOESN'T WORK, (spoiler) try Magisk...

Thanks man.
I'll try that for sure but later i.e., doing a clean flash and trying to flash SuperSU again...
I'll let you know once I've done that.
