[Q] Upadating Question

Hello XDA Developers! How are you doing?
I just got a Notification that, an update is available for my N7 2013. I guess it is the 4.4.3 one.
So, I rooted it with the Nexus Toolkit when I got the Tablet and have since then gotten around playing with Xposed (GravityBox[KK], Youtube AdAway, Instagram Downloader and AppOpsXposed).
My Questions now are the following:
Should I just OTA Update or should I take my Nexus Toolkit and use that?
Do I have to uninstall all the Xposed stuff? (everything on the latest stable version offered to me)
Is it necessary to Root again or is the Kernel still rooted afterwards?
Any resets necessary? Just a cache one?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Best Regards

Give this thread a read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523217. It's simple to understand and super informative when it comes to updating OTAs. I know it's in the Nexus 5 forums, but the same principals apply.

Thanks allot! Read through but still got some questions:
If I want to OTA I have to go completely Stock I understand this now but, if I use the Nexus Toolkit, do I still need to Uninstall everything Xposed related and go back to stock first? Or just uninstall everything Xposed and continue with the Toolkits FW Flashing and afterwards re-rooting?
OR just use the Toolkit and everything is good to go?
Thanks again!

Not exactly sure how the toolkit works to update. I don't use them since I'm not a fan of toolkits. If it just boots you into custom recovery and flashes the OTA, then you need to be stock (with Xposed Framework uninstalled). If it boots you into the bootloader and fastboot flashes the individual image files, you don't need to uninstall, but you will need to reinstall/activate the framework after booting into 4.4.3. You'll also need to re-root, unless the toolkit does that for you too after updating.

Alright thanks again!
It has been quite some time since I last used it so I googled it again and found this http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...ndroid-4-4-3-without-losing-any-data-0155334/
In the end there is this
You should now be up to date, with root and custom recovery restored and all of your data intact. If you use Xposed, you'll have to install the framework again for your modules to become active.

Nope. Running CM12. Tried Supersu instead of the built in su, no luck. Tried changing SELinux to permissive, no luck.
No way am I going to post in that xposed thread. It's nuts over there.

Hahaha yeah I saw. Anyone with a complaint gets bombarded. I hope it gets sorted. It's the only thing holding me back from lollipop(I need my instagram downloader)

This is a helpful work-around post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58862247&postcount=1344
^^ UPDATE: It works. ^^
If I have time I'll try the init.d fix posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58859387&postcount=1317

Working for me on latest illusion ROM. Only install modules that are known to work. Ones that don't have caused boot loops for me. There's a spread sheet with a list of modules that work and don't work. Just google xposed lollipop modules it came right up for me. Good Times are here.

Installing Xposed with Root Access and TWRP?

I appreciate the fact that many will think this thread is a complete waste of time, but i'm struggling to find out how to actually do this with the G4. I have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP 2.8.7.0 installed, but from what i've read the latest Xposed Framework installer (v79) is still causing bootloops on this phone. Are there any safe methods to install Xposed without using the drawn out solution posted here?

from what you read?! what about trying yourself?
tons of people here have the latest xposed working just fine.... too busy ****ting your pants for a bootloop (that with twrp on you can solve in 2mins)???

Just make sure you have the uninstaller to hand if you need it and also take a back up. I have used xposed on stock 5.1 and stock 6 also cm12.1 and cm13 so there shouldn't be any issues here

Sorry, i'm an idiot. I'll see whether it works, but there's plenty of people in rovo89's Xposed thread that have experienced bootloops with the G4 and this latest version.

I don't think you are an idiot... You have actually taken the time to read the thread and check compatibility which is very smart.
I know v79 skd23 works on cm13 and genesis v3.5 so any marshmallow based roms should be fine. If you have issues then use the uninstaller and if that fails then restore the backup you have taken. No harm done. If you do have issues I'm sure a fresh install of your rom of choice and then install xposed (and nothing else at the same time, plus wipe dalvik and cache) should sort you out.

Thank you for being so kind. I went into TWRP and flashed the file, but unfortunately i ended up with the bootloop. So then i went to boot into recovery by holding the power buttons, but all it gives me is the LG recovery and not TWRP. So now my phone is essentially bricked and i've only had it a week.

We're okay, i sorted it. Never been so scared in my life, thought the phone was done for because i had no ADB or Fastboot to save me. It turns out that by choosing the factory reset option in the LG recovery, it simply boots straight to TWRP because the default recovery is missing. Then i was able to flash the Xposed uninstaller and it booted fine afterwards.

What ROM are you using right now?

I'm using the stock Marshmallow ROM. From what i understand it's only working for those with custom ROM's.

Sorry..... That's your issue. I actually told you wrong yesterday. I meant to say stock based marshmallow rather than stock. It will work with genesis v3.5 which is stock based and an easy flash of you are already on marshmallow. It's due to xposed needing the system to be deodexed.
Regards,
Ravi

If you are on stock MM make sure to install deodex apps which you can find on xda.

KK Xposed

I know KK is old but why am I having such difficulties finding information? That's's not my real question though. I finally got V4A to work and now I'm trying to get Xposed installed. I've got the apk file, that's's easy, but I can't find anything on the file I need to flash in TWRP.
Can anyone help me out? I assume I'm looking for something regarding sdk 19.

I don't think you need TWRP to flash Xposed in KitKat. You should be able to just flash it through the apk. Correct me if im wrong

Yea, I was just coming back here to correct myself. No flashing of anything is needed. I didn't realize though that the alpha version of the installer wouldn't work. All is well now.

Question about Xposed Framework.

I just rooted my HTC 10 and installed Xposed and got the Youtube Adaway Module. My previous phone was a Z3 where I had used GravityBox which ran fine. Since this is my first HTC device will the GravityBox MM work for this device or is there an alternative besides GravityBox.
Thanks Again.

As I remember GravityBox is programmed to run on and with AOSP based ROMs. Now when it comes to HTC, stock ROMs aren't AOSP based. I never used it myself though and I'm a long time HTC user. If you want you can try it if course, but should perform a backup prior to doing so.

Just tried and it works, only needed GravityBox to show the AM/PM and change the battery icons. Can't say about the other features on it as I only needed these two functions. Also got Xposed working with greenify, and Youtube Adblock. Looks like I am good to go for a while!

Sounds as if. Have fun with your new 10!

Most GB features work. Lock screen features don't due to a non AOSP lock screen.
Adaway works.
Wish we'd get Sense Toolbox. Missing my secure lock screen.

Okay thanks... I just flashed v84 sdk23 arm64 and it gave me "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1 what did you do to get your xposed working? thank you

first off, I mean this the best way possible. You need to be both more clear and more complete in your posts and questions. I could (and many would) very much give you a hard time but will try to help you.
1. If I'm not mistaken, that is a TWRP error. You can do a forum or google search and you'll find many threads about it with options.
2. Post the TWRP log so we can see what happend, or take a screenshot so we can see exactly what the output text on the screen was before the error.
3. Are you using TWRP? I assume so if you're on an HTC 10.
4. I simply flashed the proper exposed module in TWRP.
Long story short way too many variables to simply answer your question. You could wipe the cache and reboot into recovery, re copy the .zip to your SD or adb push it over. and reflash

If you look at the screenshot it tells you exactly what the problem is. Did you even read it?
Tell us what it says directly before the error?
"system mounted as read only file system" - you didn't mount as read/write. You have to mount R/W for SU and anything like this you're going to flash.
Try again, this time set the system to mount as R/W and be sure to read and watch what you're doing.
People are here to help but the trade-off is you must make efforts and not solely rely on others to solve your problems.
