You need a custom recovery to flash the xposed framework

I am not sure if you really NEED a recovery for that. Because all it basically does is copy files to specific locations and set permissions (read the updater-script). So basically you could do this using adb shell as well. Please CMIIW. All the custom recovery does is, to make it as easy as possible for you.

Using custom recovery i thi k its so much easier than adb shell. There are requirements before installing on s6 or s6 edge. The most important been you need to have a deodexed ROM. It wont work on a stock rom. I have tried it. So you need to have a custom rom installed. Have a read of this

You will need to install a custom recovery first such as Clockworkmod Recovery if it's available for your device, additionally you will need to make sure your devices bootloader is unlocked. To install a custom recovery you will need to either root your device or use fastboot to install it. Then if a custom ROM is available for your device you can flash it through a custom recovery. There is unfortunately no way to get around either using a computer and/or rooting your device. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.

[Q]Is it possible to flash TWRP through Flashfire without tripping the knox ?

Hello,
I have a SM-G925F with an official firmware (G925FXXU1AOE3) and rooted with PingPong method.
As the title says, can i flash TWRP through Flashfire without triggering the knox ?
Second, can i flash a custom rom through Flashfire without modifying recovery/kernel and triggering the knox?

Sorry buddy but it's no and no. Attempting to install any custom recovery will trigger Knox and flash fire only automates the process and avoids you going into recovery mode it still requires a custom recovery to function.

What are you talking about ? i use flashfire, it doesnt require a custom recovery to function.
My idea is to change the rom (with a custom rom based on an official firmware") but to not touch to the recovery/kernel.
In this case, if i flash it through flashfire, Is it triggers knox?
I always confuse flashify with flashfire. You are correct. Sorry about the confusion.
Is this possible? I am new to samsung! Is this correct, you can flash a custom rom without tripping knox?
Just to be clear, with flashfire you can install twrp and custom kernels without tripping knox?
I haven't tried, but Knox isn't something that checks what you flash and then it's done. It even runs during boot. Whatever you will install to this phone, it will know and it will blow the eFuse if you try. The Software is extremely capable of detecting unofficial firmware. Same applies to flashing a kernel. The kernel will be permissive and not signed properly, which will set of the fuse before you can say "Knox Warranty void"
If I flash an official rom customised with a stock kernel like this

Are you sure the knox will be triggered ?

i tried to flash the twrp with flashify and my knox was triggered
I don't want to flash twrp ( I know it triggers knox), I just want to flash a rom, not the recovery, not the kernel.
And I talk about flash fire, not flashify.

I think so...even if you should be able to flash a rom with odin. I can't find anywhere a modded .tar rom

Did we ever get a concrete answer on this? I also would like to be able to flash a ROM with flashfire and NOT trip Knox. Has anybody done this successfully?
I just flashed twrp using Flashfire and can confirm that it will trigger knox!
Anybody who has tried to flash a ROM with Flashfire instead of a custom recovery?

I just decided to test non stock ROMS on my TMO S5

I have a TMO S5 that I use on AT&T. It is rooted and right now I'm using the AT&T stock rom and is working ok. I have not tried any non stock because of the Know fuse, but today I just decided that I don't care anymore about that.
Is there any way to flash custom roms using FlashFire or do I have to flash a custom recovery like TWRP?
If so what is the best and easiest way to flash twrp recovery?
Thanks in advance

Best way is custom recovery. Research which you feel most comfortable using then find instructions to use Odin for install. Once you have a custom recovery, you're ready to flash any compatible custom ROM you want. Just make sure to always make a backup.

Custom recovery is great, you just need to do research on which recovery to get (CWM,TWRP,Philz) and you should also consider what type of custom rom you want to get (Touchwiz,Cyanogenmod, etc)
With Custom Recovery, you can backup your current rom and restore it if the Custom Rom isn't exactly your cup of tea without losing most of your data.

Flashing a zip rom soft-bricks my phone

Hi,
I have rooted my alpha with cf-auto-root, installed TWRP recovery and disabled knox.
Now, any rom I'm trying to install from a zip file bricks my phone (and I can restore from a backup or can flash the stock rom with odin)
Why can't I install a zip?
Thanks!

I don't think any other option available to flash SuperSU beta zip to patch your boot image and get systemless root.
Search for already patched boot image to your android.
