Does systemless root work for anyone with the HTC M8? I RUU'd to GPE, used "fastboot boot twrp.img", installed the "BETA-SuperSU-v2.56-20151030013730", tell twrp to not fix root, when I get back to the desktop and try to open Superuser, I get "No binary installed"....
Spent all morning trying to enable my phone to take OTAs, what a complete waste of time, now I tried flashing the old method over it (like I should have done from the beginning, newer is NEVER better), and stuck at bootscreen...
Time to RUU from scratch I guess. Protip for anyone who has the bright idea of trying new systemless approaches: just don't bother.
Seems like all that zip file did was install the Superuser apk, and nothing else.
Taken from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63197935&postcount=2
Never mind, fixed it by finding and flashing some obscure m8-boot-image, not really part of that thread at all. Yay for completeness. Reminds me of the Galaxy S3 days where the CF zip had an SU build that couldnt disable KNOX, contrary to what was being posted, and crashed upon launch; for MONTHS.
The filename is m8-systemless-boot.img hopefully someone has less headache following incomplete instructions than I did
I'm rooted, 5.1 with lollipop and I am desperate for answers as to why this has to be rocket science just to put Framework on Xposed. Sorry if this is the wrong section, I don't have the patience right now to make a ton of posts just to meet the requirements for whatever reason. But anyways, does anyone have a solution to my problem?
Its no different than any other phone. The only twist is unrelated to xposed in that you need Quick Boot or my favorite NeoPowerMenu to boot to TWRP.
You could use FlashFire but if the above is a foreign language id suggest doing it that way. You can save a future post and time on how to boot to recovery and flash the uninstaller if Xposed boot loops you.
Im using v85 and has been working on my K7, v86 works good on my moto but ive heard of a few k7s having issues with 86.
what version of xposed are you running? terminal emulator x v2 keeps auto downloading armeabi-v7a and it says its for the wrong phone.. i can flash manually but i dont know what xposed to get
Someone help me out really quick, cause I'm too dumb to find a fix. So I wanted to install Xposed once again on my piece of **** Samsung Galaxy S5, running 6.0.1. Have it rooted, got TWRP. Spend 25 years reading up on all the wonderful ways you can install Xposed with varying degrees of failure. Decide to go with method 9, get my 2 framework zips (main thing and uninstaller, "xposed-v87-sdk23-arm" & "xposed-uninstaller-20160829-arm") and the apk. Got the 3.1.1 apk from this official thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
And the 2 zips from here:
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm/
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/uninstaller/
Slap them on my phone, install the apk first, says my Samsung phone is cursed ("there seems to be a known issue with your ROM", "Samsung TouchWiz ROM"), and that installing Xposed could lead to SEVERE problems. Clicking on the link given gets me to the thread above again:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
I proceed to read through 5 pages of tech speak without seeing anything that could lead me to a link for my Samsung version. So instead I just boot into TWRP recovery, flash the framework zip and reboot. Naturally, nothing worked and my phone finds itself in an endless bootloop of the Samsung logo. Take battery out, reboot into recovery, flash the uninstaller file, reboot, everything is fine, but Xposed is still not installed.
TL;DR Someone put me out of my misery and tell me/show me where I can find an official Xposed firmware zip that will work on a Samsung phone running 6.0.1. Am I the only idiot that can't do it properly?

I've been waiting for a custom ROM, haven't quite learned to make one myself. I've tried finding a compatible Xposed with no luck. The only things I have been able to do are debloat and add Viper/Dolby sound mods that added volume boosts. Please feel free to add any trials and errors you guys have had trying to mod this phone here.

There are plenty of tutorials for making your own rom and kerenel. There are plenty in xda university and an excellent one by my colleague jackeagle, if you want something device specific then it maybe better to add the phone title in your op rather than just adding a tag

No ROMs, no real mods and the only progress we have towards a kernel is KyleBryant's work delivering us the kernel source itself.

Dang Any tips for editing the power button on the back of the phone

What do you mean by editing the power button? Like how it functions or it's response upon being held down?
Substratum
Hey, just so you guys know, Substratum works once you're rooted. Just go to the Play Store and download the Substratum app along with a theme of your liking. I'll post some screenshots of my Aristo all theme translucent.

I'd recommend against using it with certain themes.
I ended up breaking my status bar so now when I hit the settings button from the pull down, it activated gps instead.
MODS
Changed BootAnimation .zip to Cyanogenmod version
Added Viper4Divine FX + DivineEQ + Dolby Atmos
Apps Added into system:
AdAway
Camera FV-5
ES File Explorer
EvolveSMS
FlySo
GhostKik
Instagram
Kik
NovaLauncher
PowerManager
Pulsar+
Removed from system:
All LG Home Apps (FIRST replace with Launcher of your choice E.G. Nova or ADW)
Lookout
All Google but Play Store, Play Services, Play Games, Gmail, YouTube, Maps, and Drive.
All LG apps but SmartWorld (yes including Messaging)
And removed more but they were minor and cant remember...
DivineEQ is blank when loaded so far.
ES File Explorer clears its "history" every time i exit the app. But major settings stick.
I know its nothing major. If I knew Android Developing, I would create a custom rom.

Good look, but the is for the lv3. I've already tried and it won't work due to twrp doing a check on model version and build version sadly.

As I said on the OP of that thread, check the specifications at the end.
Of course, it is for the MetroPCS version, I make it clear where it says:
Carrier: MetroPCS
And I also mention the twrp limitations and the fix.
Besides that, I am going to start building an slim version (very slim) and at the same time if anyone can provide me a T-mobile/Other Carrier Nandroid I can build slim versions of that for you guys.

That's when you boot into recovery and flash the Substratum.rescue zip and all good, plus, you should have a good nandroid to restore also. So nobody should be afraid to use Substratum, it's perfectly safe if you know your back up plans. Anyone has questions, just reply in this thread and I'll do my best to help anyone.

Yeah, I already had that panned out. My comment was a simple heads up about one of the possibilities.
snafu
starting over from scratch currently. everything was correct and working when i first rooted and progressively i messed up. i have no idea how it got so bad or why Ive put up with it for weeks now. i have several nandroid back-ups if anyone wants a headache. but i think my problem is deeper than just the ROM.
Laptop recognizes my LGMS210 as a LGMS550 when in recovery. Code 10 -broken drivers.... *re-flashed the recovery from fastboot [ADB version 1.0.32 Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android] and laptop gave me access to internal and SD but only seeing 9.95g available (6g for sys? is that right)
Google play is broke af. Nothing will install (error -504) even after cleaning data/data. data/apps .. even after dalvik/cache wipe.... even after praying. Not even apps Ive never installed before. LG smart world ie themes,fonts,whatever gives install error.
cant even install apks i have on SD (error-package seems corrupt)
Magisk wont update from ver 2.*.* to ver 16. begins to work but alas error -1 ?
I still have root tho lol
no super su present
and i have xposed framework API 26 installed but i think when using magisk and xposed modules this whole cluster nut began.
android Easter egg wont even work. its stuck with a fish selected, cant change the food offering. and NO cat has ever came.
Boot-loops 3-4 times if not shutdown properly... ie rebooter app or terminal reboot. i changed the default MPCS boot animation so i can see if its looping or chooching. gets thermo-nuclear hot and eventually boots after 4-5 minutes.
i'm gonna go ahead and re-flash stock FW.
*on a side note i keep confusing my PC software like fastboot and adb for my gf's galaxy tab A. Caught a security error brick when i accidentally used its fastboot for something like to unlock bootloader.... i have way too many devices being worked on at once. eh, never a dull moment.

You're using the wrong recovery if it's still showing the ms550.
Drivers are universal inside of company devices. (LG for LG, Samsung for Samsung) so they don't conflict.
Adb and fastboot are both universal drivers and shouldn't matter for your device. (I'm using the same fastboot I installed for my Galaxy note 4 that I am for my aristo, my V10, my htc desire 610, and my uncle's v20)
Just do what you said and start fresh.
Unlock the bootloader.
Install the proper twrp and remove encryption.
Flash the stock boot partition and wipe data (this is sneakily pertinent if you're gonna use magisk)
Do not install system mods before using magisk.
After that, use twrp's file explorer to remove and stock apps that you won't need.
