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.

booting forever after rooting oxygenOS 3.2.8

So I was on rooted 3.2.6 with xposed installed and decided to upgrade to 3.2.8.
I dirty flashed the full ROM 3.2.8 onto my 3.2.6 (without flashing SU or xposed because I wanted to use Snapchat with snapprefs again so I i flashed 3.2.8 without root , logged into Snapchat etc. )
after that I flashed superuser and xposed and since then my phone doesnt boot.
I interrupted the first try because it took over 20 minutes then tried it again after clearing cache and dalvik but it still doesnt boot ( i see the two circles and red dot)
Hope someone can help me
PS: I didnt make a backup because it would be too large, on the other hand I have the full 3.2.8 on my internal storage as well as the latest superSU

solved it
If someone experiences the same problem you need the newest xposed version v87. Flash it normally and wipe cache/dalvik , thats it !

I had that, I fixed it by boot to twrp flash the xposed uninstaller zip to remove xposed, then the phone should boot normally, I then found a newer version of xposed (the November security patch in 3.2.8 doesn't like older versions) and flashed it via twrp again, all my modules were still there and didn't need setting up again either.
Hope that helps

How to install Magisk & Xposed? I keep getting bootloops.. "no digest file found"

How to install Magisk & Xposed? I keep getting bootloops.. "no digest file found"
So I have a Pixel XL, stock, nougat 7.1.2 (Aug NHGE47Q).
I have tried the following steps:
Boot TWRP 3.1.1-1
Flash TWRP 3.1.1-1
Flash Elemental 7.1.2 kernel
Flash newest Magisk 14.5 beta (since 14.0 doesn't support pixel, right?)
Flash TWRP 3.1.1-1
What am I doing wrong?
I tried it a few times and no good. I did notice it says something about "no digest file found", which I assume is the problem.. ? I tried a combination of things like with and without wiping cache/dalvik. Or not flashing TWRP at the end. I search around and couldn't find updated instructions on this process. Help will be appreciated!
P.S. Also, if I update to Oreo, I can't get Xposed, right? (as in the systemless version via Magisk) because that's the only reason why I haven't updated yet.

I'm not sure about Oreo I think you can but you can't get certain modules or things like Xposed but double check that cuz I'm not sure
Secondly if you wanna flash 14.2 or 14.3 at the bottom of the magisk post where you download it will have the different versions to choose from any version after 14.0 supports the pixel
try flashing magisk by itself and see if that helps I know when I flash it with anything else it just doesn't show up and doesn't work but if you want when it bootloops flash the uninstaller and flash your boot image and that will fix the bootloop but do it again copy the log from twrp and put it on your computer and upload it here it will say exactly where it fails and what's wrong with it so we can help better

According to elementalx.org/devices/pixel/ the right elemental kernel is 1.15.
I've done this exact process too and ran into many issues, I would recommend as follows, I've had a lot of success with this. I got Magisk working under 14.2 , twrp 3.1.1-1 , and elemental 1.15. I could not get any of them working correctly with any other versions or in any other order - this worked for me.
reflash stock with flash_all and factory reset
fastboot boot twrp 3.1.1-1
check "never show" and swipe
adb sideload twrp-3.1.1-1.zip
adb sideload VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip
reboot recovery
sideload again
adb sideload your new ROM here if you want that
adb sideload twrp-3.1.1-1 again, had to do this for PureNexus, cause recovery was overwritten
adb sideload VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip again
reboot recovery
adb sideload ElementalX-P-1.15.zip
reboot recovery (might not be necessary)
adb sideload Magisk-v14.2(1420).zip - I got this from the Arise Aroma installer package in another thread
adb sideload VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip again
reboot system, enable systemless hosts and magisk hide on google services framework and play store. magisk hide only works with a kernel that supports it so if your elemental is working you should be fine.
reboot again, then install busybox, I used stericsons from play store. I also installed the selinux switcher for permissive mode. I installed these to get Arise / Viper to work and I think they are required for xposed too.
Magisk modules should work from there, including the xposed installer, but xposed will cause safetynet to fail. I could not get magisk modules to work with 14.3, have not tested other versions, but 14.2 worked.
I did not let twrp install it's apk from recovery mode, or let magisk download it's update, I downloaded both APKs separately.
I remember having many issues with the order of install for magisk versus elemental. I'm pretty sure what worked for me is elemental, then magisk as I put here. but if you run into issues it might have to be magisk then elemental.

Thanks for the directions!
However, before I try this, I have one question... what is "VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip"?
After searching, I see a bunch of information on the May security patch, but nothing talking about the August security patch (which is what I'm on). That being said, does it still apply?

You don't need Xposed, magisk has plenty of modules, but after rooting, flash the verified boot signer to allow for stock boot. It patches the boot image. Android 8 methods fixed this issue

Here is how you flash a kernel with the stupid 2 slots LOL...
Rom installed and ALREADY BOOTED INTO the OS That rom.
Reboot to TWRP 3.2.1-0
Flash Kernel and Flash TWRP 3.2.1-0.ZIP followed by rebooting recovery (i usually hit reboot system hold volume down until i get to bootloader and then choose recovery (reboot recovery doesnt always work))
Flash Magisk 15.0 or 15.1 on Oreo and i believe 14.3 and down will work better for Nougat.
Reboot buddy!!! All is good in the world.

WAAAAAAIIIIIT!!!! you need to be on Magisk 15.0 just failed multiple times and realized that was the last thing I Updated to 15.1..
Make sure you're flashing 15.0.

Can we get Xposed yet on Oreo with Magisk? I see it says there are 4 different options available in the module section of Magisk. One is labeled "Xposed framework". All the others are labeled "Xposed Framework SDK 25" down to 19. Which one should be used for Oreo?

magisk not working on all OOS OREO ROMS

Hello xda community.
I got some knowledge about flashing stuff on my oneplus 3. But Since I use Android oreo beta 29, 30, or stable 5.0 OOS version even when I use the aroma installer from Freedom OS. Magisk doesn't install propobly. .
Im using latest Twrp from Bluespark 3.2.1 -X
I can flash most off the magisk versions 15.0 - 15.1 - 14.6 without bootloops. I tried alot off them but when I boot the phone magisk is not installed.(there is no Magisk app)
When I install the magisk apk. the magisk is also telling me magisk is not installed.
On beta 29 SuperSU was working didn't try it yet on beta 30 but I really want to use Magisk.
I'm reading the forums here also on the OP community but seems like I'm the only one with this problem.

maybe the only way to make sure is to wipe everything , did you try with custom kernel?
try to flash rom reboot to recovery, then derp kernel (tested and works on latest beta) , then flash magisk... that worked for me at 1st try.

Flash magisk 14.0 and boot see magical working and then update magisk15.3 via magisk manager application.

Use OOS debloater from the themes and apps section to remove some apps from the system. Then reinstall magisk. Problem solved. We have a lot less space left in the system partition and that's the reason magisk is silently failing to install.

Facing same issue

Oreo update for rooted OnePlus 5t

Pls help me updating my 5t to oreo.i am currently on version 4.7.6 with twrp recovery nd super su root.
After updating to Oreo I again want to root my phone
Pls share links to download compatibile ROM, recovery nd super su.zip

But you already have the OREO OOS ROM installed, why not use it? Flash the Oreo recovery from codeworkx through fastboot, make sure to follow the instructions so it sticks and then flash Magisk or any root solution of your choice. It's not hard if you do some searching.

Check in ROMs' threads and come back what your interested ROM is.

What I did was flash the ota to update me to Oreo. Then had to reflash Magisk and kernel.

If you have already installed a custom recovery and rooted your phone then you should be able to follow these instructions.
I can personally confirm that I was able to install the beta versions of Oreo and the final version of Oreo without any issues.
Here's what I did:
1. Download full .zip
2. Download Blu_Spark TWRP or Codeworkx TWRP (I personally used Blu_Spark but both should work).
3. Download Magisk 15.3 (I havent used SuperSu in a while so I can't confirm how well it works on Oreo but in my opinion Magisk is a better root method and it works in this version of android).
4. Make sure you have both ROM and Magisk on a easy to find place on your phone.
5. Boot to fastboot and fastboot flash the recovery you just downloaded.
6. Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache and then install the ROM.
7. Once the installation is done, boot to system and wait till the system to finish updating. Once there you can go to settings > phone status and it should read (android version = 8.0.0 and OxygenOS version = 5.0.2, congrats, you're on the latest OxygenOS version for this phone).
8. Reboot to fastboot, and fastboot flash the custom recovery again.
9. Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache again, and flash Magisk, wipe dalvik and cache once more and reboot to system.
10. Once the phone is booted up, you should be rooted with Magisk and on the latest OS.
9. Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache again, and flash Magisk, wipe dalvik and cache once more and reboot to system.
10. Once the phone is booted up, you should be rooted with Magisk and on the latest OS.
NOTE: Since this is a big version update from Nougat, it's always recommended to do a clean flash although not necessary in most cases unless there are issues like big battery drain or when apps or the OS are not working properly. Also, if you are coming from a custom ROM and not the official OxygenOS, then you should definitely do a clean installation (even if said custom ROM is based on OxygenOS).

Wiping data and system partition which means you're wiping the entire OS and installing the new version on a clean partition. Think of it as formatting a hard drive and installing an OS instead of just upgrading your existing OS.
You obviously lose all apps installed,and it would be like when you first turned on your phone, however as long as you don't wipe internal storage, all your photos,music,etc are not wiped so you can use apps like titanium backup to restore all apps and data .
This method is recommended when switching from different custom ROM's and when upgrading from major version updates, like for example, going to Android 8 from Andorid 7.

I used that same version of TWRP back during the Oreo beta and it didn't work so I had to switch to blu_spark.

You obviously lose all apps installed,and it would be like when you first turned on your phone, however as long as you don't wipe internal storage, all your photos,music,etc are not wiped so you can use apps like titanium backup to restore all apps and data .
This method is recommended when switching from different custom ROM's and when upgrading from major version updates, like for example, going to Android 8 from Andorid 7.

I used that same version of TWRP back during the Oreo beta and it didn't work so I had to switch to blu_spark.

So i took the jump and flashed blu spark and the 5.0.3 full rom.
Yes i lost the recovery to stock, but that's ok. Just want to get OTA in the future and I don't need root at the moment.
So this is what i did (coming from 4.7.6, official twrp, magisk 15.3)
Make sure you have all the necessary files (eg. blu spark img file and the full ota file on your phone
boot the fastboot and "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.68-op5_op5t.img"
On the phone, choose and go to recovery
(now i'm on blu spark) Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache (i did this 2 times just to make sure)
Choose install and select the full ota rom file
Let it run and install the rom (took less than 5 mins)
Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache again (again, i wiped 2 times just to make sure)
Reboot
Make take a while (less than 10mins) for android to start and do the upgrade etc
Done
So far so good, i don't see any immediate problem. I will play a bit more and will post if I encounter any problem :good:

I have updated to 5.0.3 through system update app. where it downloaded full ota file and installed.Now I want to install twrp nd root my phone so pls confirm my steps
1 boot into fastboot mode and flash bluespark recovery
2 wipe delvik/cache from twrp recovery
3 flash magisk zip
4 again wipe delvik cache
5 reboot
are above steps correct?
