anyone with a functional Nougat Xposed on an LG G5? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

LG G5 RS988.21c, running stock ROM w/ Nougat 7.0, unlocked bootloader w/ root by SuperSU
I got the PurifyOS Xposed up and running (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-android-nougat-sdk-25-arm64-t3639221)... kind of. The installer APK showed itself as installed and active, but none of the modules seemed to function. Has anyone been able to get the (unstable) PurifyOS to work for their LG G5?
Now, in the Xposed Installer it states that topjohnwu's Systemless-via-Magisk Xposed works on LG (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268). Can someone confirm that to me? The install process isn't what I'm used and specifically the admonition under Magisk's install instructions to "Make sure to remove any other root, best to restore your boot image back to stock" isn't going to work for me as there isn't a stock RS988 21c boot image available.
Now, that said, I think that uninstalling SuperSU via the in-app uninstaller should work to clean up the boot image to stock in order to allow a clean-as-possible Magisk install, but that whole process currently seems daunting and I'm hoping someone is going to fly into this thread and utter the magic phrases that'll get my Xposed up and running without me having to stumble my way through the Magisk/Magisk Manager/Systemless Xposed process.
Help? If you have any experience with a successful and operational Xposed, please let me know, as well as what model LG G5 you're using. Thanks!

ROOT ON OC1 WITH WONDERSHARE! Kingroot apk and desktop NOT working

heres the link http://www.wondershare.com/mobile-phone/how-to-root-android.html
JUST now rooted stock oc1 after flashing xposed uninstall through flashfire it got stuck on bootloop. I Odin flash to stock nonroot oc1 and used this to regain root. Currently installing flashfire to install deodexed oc1 and reinstall xposed will update. PC NEEDED to root. But it is one click. This also installs supersu. Make sure you have developer enabled and click ENABLE USB DEBUG. I wish all of you with no luck using kingroot... GOOD LUCK!
*******not responsible for anything that might happen this worked FOR ME it DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL FOR YOU Things like this can cause brick. Rooted schi545 on stock bloated clean oc1 lollipop using this*************
*****edit*** mods im new to the site but i posted this here because of a number of threads about failed kingroot on oc1 please move accordingly as you see fit thanks
UPDATE:
Flashfire successfully updated the stock wondershare rooted oc1 with rooted deodexed oc1 stock.
I Disabled supersu
Launched android pay with NO XPOSED FRAMEWORK INSTALLED
application successfully verified and added my cards
Then Used flashfire to flash xposed xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430-arter97-V3.zip (the frame work not installer) - listed in the link below. Phone booted fine with ANDROID IS UPGRADING at startup with 238 apps. Then installed the v3 alpha 2 installer. Says framework not active but it is.
i dont take any credit for xposed on oc1 credit due to respective owners just following direction and want to condense everything ive been doing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
This gets xposed working reliably on oc1 along with android pay (ive yet to pay so will have to update upon successful transaction but my cards are added)
I WOULD HIIIIIIIIIIIIGHLY SUGGEST IF YOU WANT ANDROID PAY TO WORK ON YOUR XPOSED ROOTED OC1 DO NOT FLASH THE XPOSED UNINSTALLER it gave me a boot loop at vzw splash screen. Instead i suggest you REFLASH PREROOTED DEODEXED oc1 using flashfire to remove the frame work since flashfire performs a full wipe, then disable supersu once booted go through the android pay set up and once you have all the cards you want added reenable supersu and reinstall xposed framework via flashfire and restore your data. This is what i did... the second time which is why im advising against using the xposed uninstall zip.
So I finally got around to trying to purchase with android pay on my stock deodexed somewhat debloated and rooted xposed oc1. The phone and terminal act as if my nfc isn't even turned on nothing happens

Android Pay - How to get working?

I'm running 47A from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/vs985-46a-stock-flashable-firmware-t3304365
It's got systemless root, I'm using SuperSU and I have TWRP installed. No xposed.
I really don't want to use xposed/magisk and I'm probably willing to lose root (would be nice if it was temporary vs permanent).
If I uncheck enable superuser in SuperSU and reboot, Android Pay still doesn't work.
So what exactly do I need to do in order to get Android Pay working?

I'm not rooted (anymore), but with bumped TWRP and SuperSU, apparently you can work around this. It appears PokeMon GO is blocking rooted users due to people spoofing their GPS location via Xposed modules, etc. This article explains how to flash something called Magisk that apparently works for both Pokemon GO as well as Android Pay. Again, I'm not rooted so I have no idea if this will work or not, but he lays out the instructions pretty well. I believe that since you are already rooted and bumped with TWRP, and no Xposed, you just need to obtain Magisk and flash from within TWRP.

Hope this helps. I just happen to come across this article in my Feedly feed and remembered reading your post, so hopefully this helps you.
Let us know!

Hi iBolski,
Did you mean to include a link to an article about installing Magisk with an Verizon LG G3?
I've been looking for a way to install a stock unrooted rom for days but have been coming up short. Magisk would be ideal but I can't seem to find any threads that have a stock (unrooted) firmware image or a guide on how to unroot a pre-rooted firmware. I wish a tutorial specifically for a Bumped VS985 existed to set up a stock firmware or other ROM with Magisk because I have been having trouble piecing information together and am nervous about causing problems with my phone!
If anyone else has a Bump'd VS985 Verizon LG G3 with TWRP installed that is either unrooted or have Magisk running successfully with Android Pay or Pokemon GO, please let us know how you did it!
Thanks!!
EDIT: I just noticed that you yourself are running stock unrooted 46A iBolski... do you have TWRP installed or are you fully stock and accepted an OTA? If TWRP, does Android Pay or Pokemon Go work for you? And how'd ya get to where you are?

Sorry about forgetting the link. I updated my previous reply with the article in question.
As to your answer, I do not have TWRP installed. I do have all the official OTAs applied.

Thanks for updating with the link. I did see that guide but am unsure about how to handle it with BUMP and what ROMs it works with.
If anyone else has a stock unrooted ROM or working Magisk with their TWRP/BUMP'd G3... please let us know!

As a follow up to my own post, I was able to pass the SafetyNet check (I used SafetyNet Helper from the Play Store to check) on my CloudyG3 2.5 LG G3 VS985. This was not without it's negatives however (no Xposed or root).
I simply flashed the Xposed Uninstaller and uninstalled the app, then from within the SuperSU app settings selected the option to permanently unroot. I did of course make a nandroid backup before doing this so restoring will not be an issue, but I do now get a green screen / pass to SafetyNet which should mean Android Pay and Pokemon Go will work.

Did you try Magisk at all? I am on Jasmine ROM (Android 5.1.1) and would love a way to still have Root & Xposed, but be able to pass SafetyNet for PokemonGO and Wallet
Question on XDABBEB's VS985 ROM
Considering that this phone will probably see no more OTA's, I'm ready to go back to root, but I don't want to break Android Pay. Also, I'm not going to use Kingroot. Don't trust it. So, I'll TOT back to 10B to flash XDABBEB VS985 ROM. But i have some questions regarding it (I haven't ran a custom ROM in almost a year).
Does anyone know if removing SuperSU from XDABBEB VS985 ROM will allow Android Pay to work? Curious if so, otherwise, I'll probably just stick with my stock 48A unrooted phone in order to keep Android Pay.
I also miss TiBu as my backup tool. Yes, LG Backup is nice and all, but TiBu is so much more flexible, including the scheduled backups that I like to do as well as pushing to my Google Drive for backing up the files. Also, TiBu doesn't store it in one giant backup file. I really wish LG Backup would store each app as a separate file, rather than one giant, humongous file. Also, if I do upgrade to a new phone that's not LG, LG Backup won't work for me, so I'll need TiBu (and of course, I have to make sure the new phone is rootable).
Thanks!
While I have not tried this (I plan to try magisk later this week) supposedly Reddit says we can use this bump script after applying magisk in order to make everything will boot. I'm reading mixed comments about if/which certain bootloader is needed to have this work (KitKat vs Lollipop vs Marshmallow) or which ROM to start with as a base (though I saw CM 13 mentioned). If anyone tries this, let me know. I'll post my results in the coming days.

TWRP on LG Volt LS740 ZV6

Hello.
I have LG Volt LS740 running ZV6 firmware. I have rooted with KingRoot. I want to know how to install TWRP on it. I want TWRP to install ROM with AudioFX on it, and get remote for my Zenith television.
So, I have flashed back to ZV3. I have used towelroot and installed SuperSu. I have also installed Viper4Android, and the settings are even more intriguing than AudioFX. The only thing I need is a remote application, because the Quick Remote doesn't have Zenith on it. Can I get an extended remote from ZV3 or do I need a new ROM? If I need newer ROM, preferably Marshmallow and above, how would I go about TWRP?
I just busted a LS740 with a failed phone encryption attempt, recently had a device stolen, and need a stock firmware that will work. Drop a post if you have any suggestions. Thanks. I was running a version of CM13.
UPDATE:

Best ROM combination to use xposed framework & device id changer?

I have US998 rooted and is looking into xposed framework.
I've looked at numerous instructions and after mix-n-matching was able to install xposed somehow but after I enabled device id change, it froze at LG logo.
That was with Pie stock 30c.
I've tried coming down to Oreo 20e and as soon as I install xposed and reboot, it hangs again at LG.
I've came down to Nougat 10d and it still hangs.
What would be the best method (or custom rom) to use with xposed?
Thanks in adv!!

I have Xposed with stock Rooted Oreo. Just make sure you're using the Oreo Xposed.

are you using systemless ? I followed this and was successful but Magisk shows it fails Safenet.
https://magiskroot.net/systemless-xposed-framework-for-oreo/
I thought systemless would bypass Safenet check?

Use edxposed from magisk download section
Though there's no guarantee that safety net will pass for the modules you use.

Like @tech_infinity mentions,
edXposed variant of Xposed passes Safety Net.
I wrote Instructions last year on how to install edXposed, but may be outdated by now since they mention specific release version. Probably updated version out there now.
I don't care about Safety Net, and neither does my banking app, so I kept just Xposed on my own phone. Whenever I decide to do a full clean install of everything I'll switch to edXposed.
