[SOLVED] [GAPPS] Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped after flashing gapps. - Android

You just now flashed a custom rom, then gapps, and when you booted it up, it gave an annoying message "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and due to that you are stuck at setting up your android device. This problem is not in your custom rom which you flashed just now(so no need to blame device maintainers or source developers for it ) instead, this problem lies in gapps package itself, But after doing a bit of research I was able to come up with the fix(tbh, this really didn't took too much effort for me ).
There is also an alternative method by @prashantvrm. Find link here
So, what actually I did
The entire root of the problem was that setupwizard.apk, so removing it fixed the issue.
DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible for anything, that happens to you or your device, it was your decision to follow my steps, so you bear all risk for this.
After following my steps setupwizard.apk file will be removed from your system, so you have to set up everything on your device manually(that is adding google accounts, etc).
PREREQUISITE
A gapps package which you are going to flash(ofcourse you need it)
A windows/linux/android/any other os with any file archiver utility installed(such as winrar, 7zip, etc)
a BRAIN.exe(most important)
STEPS
1.1) For OpenGapps
For gapps with android version 5.0 or above
open the gapps zip file
Go to folder named 'Core'
Delete the file named 'setupwizarddefault-all.tar.lz' and 'setupwizardtablet-all.tar.lz'
Now reflash your custom rom with your modified Gapps
Thats it.
For gapps with android version 4.4 or below
Open your gapps zip file
Goto folder named system<priv-app
delete SetupWizard.apk
Now reflash your rom with your modified Gapps
Thats it.
1.2) For NikGapps
open nikgapps zip file
go to folder named packages
Delete PixelSetupWizard.zip PixelSetupWivardOverlay.zip and setupwizard.zip
Now, reflash your rom with your modified Gapps
Thats it.

Thanks in advance! Hope it will work!

Thanks to rajatraj. Your solution worked like charm! I installed LOS 17.1 and Open Gapps nano on Mi Max Helium but a message - "set up keeps stopping" was constantly popping up on my phone screen. I was frantically searching for a solution to this problem. In fact I was about to uninstall LOS 17.1 due to this problem when I found your post. Amazing!

My sisters phone rebooted itself. After we connect to our wifi that message pops up. We cannot access anything else. The screen turns white. Can't access settings. Can't access notifications, nothing. We've tried every option. Nothing works.
We can't follow your steps...

Devoid.Franco Kernel 14

Been using Franco's Rom and Kernel and it's been great. However, I like to update to his v.14 kernel. I did the format
1. Wipe
2. Partition, etc...
3. Load v5 Rom
4. Restart
My problem is right here, the warning is to delete the tweaks file and the script file (which I don't have one) in File Manager. I use the OI manager that comes with v5 Rom but it just wont' delete, and I don't want to load the new kernel because of all the warnings, please help :-(...

it wont delete cause of permissions. I use root explorer for this kind of work. In this particular case i had deleted the nececary scrips from the flash zip and i flashed afterwards. (i had a clean install)
I am trying the clean install as well, can you give the instructions or point me to somewhere where I can read more about this, thanks for your time and effort.
Do I just delete it in the Devoid.Franco v5 zip before flashing and then restart the process (the only file that I can find is tweaks.sh)
Sorry, found the init.d file as well. Would I delete those files in the zip, rezip and then start the process over?
you just delete them from the zip and you flash it as usuall. just dont forget to disable verification check on your recovery or else it will give you error
Sorry, just a newb when it comes to this.
I couldn't delete the two files from the devoid.franco.v5.zip file so I did the following:
1. Extract the zip file
2. Deleted the two files
3. Rezipped the files into a new devoid.franco.v5.zip
4. Load the zip into the micro sd card after all the wipe and partition
5. Disabled Signature check
6. Tried the flash and it said it can't open the zip because it's bad :-(...
This can't be that hard when all the other kernels was easy to install...

Extracting a zip and re-zipping it DOESN'T work. You are not supposed to unzip the file. Just flash the rom, delete the offending files using root explorer, and then flash the kernel.
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using XDA App
You should't extract the file and rezip it. It corrupts it when it comes to flashing. I personally browse the zip file with winrar and simple delete the files i need. I also add files to zip this way like apks, ringtones etc
Trying winrar and it seems to work, gone to see if I can finish the entire process. Thanks so much for your time again. In the future, can I send the apps that I want directly into this zip? I can to sue something zipsigner before to get calendar, etc... Thanks again!!!
An alternative way for a clean install:
1: wipe everything
2: flash devoid.franco.v5
3: reboot (to check if everything is ok)
4: reboot into recovery
5: mount /system partition under 'mounts and storage' (clockworkmod)
6: from pc type (with phone still in recovery): 'adb shell'
7: in adb shell, type: 'rm /system/etc/tweaks.sh'
8: in adb shell, type: 'rm /system/etc/init.d/00script'
9: flash franco.kernel.v14
10: reboot
I Hope it helps,
Bye
You're welcome m8.
And yes you can have the apps you want inside the rom this way very easilly. just put them in app folder. I did this with some removed apps like browser and calendar and also removed zeam launcher and used adw launcher (personal taste) I even tried that with frameworks (aka themes) and it worked great
Thanks so much to both of your posts, it's working. One last questions, thought setcpu was already implemented in this kernel, but I don't see it anywhere? Again, thanks again for everyone's time and effort, learned so much today (wife is mad though because we need to do house work, lol, lol, better get going)... She said, "who formats their phone 5 times in 1 month, lol, lol"
setcpu is NOT included, you have to install it.
See first post in franco.kernel thread for the link.
Eh! eh! you are not in Europe, I guess if you have to help your wife NOW!!!
Barcelona-ManchesterUTD right NOW...
oh yes the wifes. my gf gets fustrated like "wtf are roms and kernels?? its just a phone!!! you call people and they call you back" rofl
One last note on setcpu. When i was using last version (2.13), every time i rebooted my phone the settings where gone and had to set them again. I switched to v2.1 and it worked like a charm. Have no idea if that is general issue or only me had it. Just thought i should tell you
Done via editing the zip with rar and all worked smoothly.
Thx all

0. Do I need unlocked bootloader? YES
1. I'm going to post my question without doing a search.
Fine, but you'll just get made fun of, or infracted by one of the mods who use this mod. Searching is the first rule of XDA.
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

2. People have sometimes a bad attitude in this thread, or they ignored my question.
You broke rule #1, didn't you?
3. Why Youtube FC all the time?
Mabye it’s the latest youtube app problem. Try [APP] Youtube Apk For Ics/Jelly Bean [Version 3.5.5].
4. I didn’t hear music, ringtone, notification, etc. Why?
The steps for custom tones are:
create
sdcard\alarms
sdcard\notifications
sdcard\ringtones
At first time after the rom install if you choose rintone the ringtone is mute. Select one of the ringtones and press vol+ or vol-. The notification ringtone is mute too. Select one of the notification tone then press vol+ or vol-. The same relates to the alarm. I have only one alarm time, and my phone wakes me up every time.
In apollo if you play music at the first time, the sound is mute too. press vol+ or vol-..
5. I lost my custom ringtone/alarm/notification sound, why?
Are your custom sound int he right folder? See 4.
6. I don’t want a tablet look.
If you use pac 4.1.2 it doesnt have paranoidpreferences.apk (Search for any 4.1.2 PA rom, and extract paranoidpreferences.apk from it.)
The new 4.2.2 PAC has it, so you don't need to search for it.
Just go in setting/paranoid setting/apps select
Settings (com.android.settings) and change size to 240, layout 360px save, and hit ok.
select System UI (com.android.systemiu) and change to 240/360 px.
(setting and system ui take effect after you restart the phone)
If gmail/calendar and other apps are in hybrid mod, then change it to 240/360px too.
Or try this flashable zip: see original thread post 1519 don't forget to thank pluGinSz
7. Which gapps do i need? Can i use inverted gapps too?.
Yes.
Be sure you use the proper gapps.
for 4.1.2 roms you need "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip"
for 4.2.2 roms you need "gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip"
Search xda for inverted gapps.
you can save about 30mb in the system partition by flashing the "Bexton" script (download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=1831004) or you can modify justunbean's zip to remove the offending files...Bexton was good enough to list the files in his OP.

9. I'm on wrong baseband where can i find bb77, and how to upgare it?
I would like to update baseband from .70/.72. to .77,is necessary after update do something? Or is recommend to do full wipe (or maybe reflash ROM)?
The basebands are in sirkay's kernel thread. Thans to him!
Download from dropbox link the "ST18i_8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77_baseband.ftf" Copy it to [C:/]Flashtool/firmwares folder. In flashtool select Flashmode, select de baseban ftf file. (Turn off the phone, press volume down when plug in the usb) Flash it without fota, unchecked all wipe and checked no final verification. It's only the baseband, so it affect only for network signal. After baseband flashing just start your phone.
you can also use BB85, download link Thanks Langes
I tried the bb85 and found bb77 is the best, but you can give a try too
10. Where is the kernel?
The kernel (boot.img) is inside the zip. Don't unzip it, just copy the "boot.img" to the folder, where you can find it.
If you use another kernel, be sure you downloaded kernel for right jb version.
11. Can i use the rom with other kernel?
Yes you can. Some devs made a kernel for JB. But remember, that if you use other kernel, you must probably falsh his own wifi modules. Read and search in kernel thread for possible bugs.
sirkay's xKernel: xKernel JB v1.0.2 If you use it, don't forget to thanks him.
Lupus kernel by wedgess: LuPuS-_-JB.img If you use it, don't forget to thanks him.

12. I've flashed [MOD][ICS]Camera Mod v.4.4 Cybershot Experience /
[Driver GPU Libs] New JB Adreno Driver For ICS Increase Performance
As in the thread name is, both is for IceCreamSandwich. Please read the threads! If you found it's for ICS, so it's "maybe?" not compatible with JB rom. If you found for ICS/JB roms, then you can test it for your own risk.
13 . Play store fc?

14. Can I use the PACman kernel in another JB ROM (FXP CM10 for example)?
Yes you can. The PACman kernel has a good selection of governors and schedulers, as well as OC/UV capability. The Wi-fi is also quite stable when compared with similar JB kernels. For any marriage to work, the wi-fi modules found within the PACman ROM zip archive (in folder: /system/lib/modules) MUST replace those within the ROM you want to pair the kernel with. If you haven’t installed the ROM the you want to use you can drag (not copy and paste) the files from the PACman ROM folder to the new ROM folder before you flash it. If you have already installed the ROM you want to use you can drag the files from the PACman ROM folder to the root of your SD card, then copy and paste them to the system/lib/modules folder on your phone using a root explorer (like ES), making sure that the system is mounted and the permissions of the files once on the phone are set correctly (i.e. check they are the same as the files you replace)… Remember to unmount system when you’ve finished and reboot.

15. my sim card is not allowed to its own provider! does anyone know what to do?
You can manually restore the APN.
or you can try and restore the apns-conf.xml by flashing the attached zip.....
if it doesn't restore automatically after rebooting, go into system settings->Wireless&Networks->More->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names
hit the menu key and then select restore default (this is also where you would find go to manually restore the APN, except you would select add new APN) attachment: see post: 1287

- thanks justmpm
I applied zip, but when I try to set up the apn's and go to settings --> wireless & networks --> more... --> mobile networks --> access point names it goes back to the main settings screen and so I can't set the apn's.
Make sure you turn off any sim card lock and then turn the phone off and on to make sure it is gone. Check to see if your apn sets up automatically. If that doesn't work make sure that your provider (including country) is listed in the apns-conf.xml (it is pretty legible if you open it with notebook+).

HOW TO USE FLASHTOOL?
Flashtool & Fastboot (XPERIADEV) or Ray Flashtool thread
HOW TO FALSH PAC ROM, IF YOU ARE A NEW ANDROID USER OR YOU UNLOCKED A BOOTLOADER FEW WEAKS AGO
Try this, slowly, carefully, exactly and in order.
1) Make sure you have a copy of the PAC ROM zip on your SD card.
2) Using Flashtool, install 4.0.4 in full, Do not exclude anything, all the wipe tick boxes checked.
3) Unplug your phone, do not turn it on.
4) On your computer, open the PAC ROM zip with WinRAR and DRAG boot.img to your desktop with your mouse. Close the ROM zip.
5) Holding volume +, plug your phone back in. The light will go blue. The Flashtool window will show connected in fastboot mode.
6) Open the Fastboot window in Flashtool and select kernel to flash. Pick the one on your desktop. Wait for it to finish (not long)
7) In the fastboot window, reboot phone into system.
8) Unplug the phone
9) The phone should start, if it doesn't then turn it on.
10) The PAC logo will appear. When the lights flash press Vol + and Vol - until the wobbly CWM recovery screen comes on.
11) do this from the menus:
Wipe data/ factory reset, then Wipe cache.
Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache.
Hit back, go to mounts and storage, format system.
Hit back, choose zip to install, pick the PAC ROM from your SD card.
Leave the phone for about an hour alone.
Then install gapps from SD card using recovery. Pick reboot to recovery from power off menu.
You do not need xparts. The phone will go back into wobbly CWM screen. Choose zip from SD card. Choose gapps. When installed wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache again. DON'T FORMAT SYSTEM. Reboot.

Power saving
I added some lines to pac v16.1 build.prop to save more battery.
I maked it as flashable zip, so you don't need add lines manually to build.prop.
Download zip. Put it in sdcard root (or where you can find it on sdcard) Go in cwm, select "install zip from sdcard" select zip, reboot and enjoy.
This are the lines what i added:
Code:
# power saving
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
# Saves some battery without reducing performances
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
pm.sleep_mode=1
If you want to edit/delete some lines, or add your own lines just copy wechy.sh from zip, edit it with notepad++ (add your tweak line) copy back edited one into zip, and falsh it as i wrote above. Be carefull what you add to build.prop!
And of course: flash it at your own risk, i'm not responsible if you brick your phone... etc.
Hit thanks if i helped you.

Detailed step-by-step guide
Be sure your bootloader is unlocked
1. Download flashtool from this thread: Flashtool thread
If you don't fion the download link: http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1353608331000 Go to "installation" and download Flashtool
2. Install flashtool.
3. Install drivers inside [C:/]flashtool/drivers restart your pc
4. Download boot.img from post #2
5. Download rom from original thread and download gapps from original thread too.
6. Copy untouched zips to sd card root.
7. Turn off your phone
8. Plug usb into Pc
9. Hold volume up when plug the other end of usb cable into phone (led lights blue)
10. Run flashtool, hit the lightning icon and select fastboot mode
11. Flash kernel YOU MUST SEE: "OKEY"
12. Disconnect usb cable
13. Turn on phone, go into recovery
And follow post #2 How to Flash PACman ROM (first time)
Battery saving tips:
1. See what's sucking the most juice. Navigate to Settings > About Phone > Battery Use to see an organized breakdown of what's consuming your phone's battery. Applications and features will display in a descending list of battery hogs. If you see an application you barely use or a feature you never use, uninstall the app or turn off the feature.
You can download BetterBatteryStats from xda
2. Turn unnecessary hardware features off It's great that today's phones have 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, but do you really need all four activated 24 hours per day? (Use toggles and enable/disable it)
3. Dump unnecessary home screen widgets and live wallpaper. Just because they're sitting on the home screen, seemingly inactive, doesn't mean they're not consuming power. That goes for widgets that poll status updates in the background, as well as ones that just sit there but look pretty and animated—not to mention animated live wallpaper.
4. Screen rotation - use with toggle. enable it, if you really want to with toggle
5. Google play store - Do you need realy that google play looks for updates in 24 h a day? Or you can check it manually when you are at home with wifi?
In playstore settings disable Notification, Auto-update apps, Auto-add widgets and Google AdMobs Ads.
6. Are you 0/24 on net? Enable with toggle only 2g, and disable it, when you use internet browsing mail download etc.
7. Keep an eye on signal strength. If you're in an area with low signal strength, the phone will work harder to latch onto a strong-enough cellular signal. This has an adverse effect on battery life. If your phone switching all the time from 3g to 2g, then you shoul enable only 2g, then the phone doesn't look for 3g network.
8. Most of widget/apps has a update time chooser. Set weather widgets/apps update time to 1 hour.
9. Sometimes i use Google maps, but location is off by me. If you dont want share you location with others then disable it in setting (so the phone does not attempt to determine your place on the basis of transmission towers)
10. I'm almost certain, that after turning wifi off the battery drain is much higher than normally...
justmpm I think this is pretty normal...it will depend a lot on how you set up you 3g/2g settings. Syncing, location tracking, and google maps can all really burn up the battery. If you don't want to fiddle around optimizing every little network app....you can use something like Green Power from the play store. You can set this up to turn off the wifi and data network when the screen goes off....the good thing about Green Power is that you can set it up to wake up every so often to sync your emails, facebook, and whatever else you want. When I have it installed, I usually have it off for 15 minutes and then turn on to sync for 1 minute (it will keep the network open until all the traffic is done, so it won't cut things off if they take > 1 minute to download). I think the default setting for this is off for 5 minutes, on for 1. Even these settings can really extend your battery if your wifi or 3g/2g networks are causing a lot of battery drain.

With this settings you can reach 2 days maybe 3 with low usage.

location gapps in system

Hi all.
I currently have a phone from china , snapdragon 617 and android 5.1.1 stock no chplay.
I want to add gapps to the system but when i copy gapps file on system , build tar and flash it for my phone. All gapps is force close. I think I made a mistake in a certain step, eg copy missing files, incorrect permissions, or the wrong location. now I just want to know the necessary files of gapps so that it can use on normal on my phone. Anyone help me ?

Boot multiple roms on nexus 6p using Dual boot patcher!

Haven't seen anyone else discussing this particular solution yet so figured I'd share that we can boot multiple roms using dual boot patcher by @chenxiaolong.
*The only things I'd recommend are the following:
*MAKING A BACKUP FIRST IN RECOVERY. Especially if you've never used the app, this helps in case you misunderstood something or didn't read enough or didn't think enough or the dog ate your homework.
*I recommend using TWRP version 3.0.3-0 which can be found here - https://dl.twrp.me/angler/
* I have not tried this with f2fs only ext4 so naturally I'd only recommend using ext4 partitioning on your device.
* If your device is encrypted in any way booting multiple roms will not work, which should be obvious but I'll state that anyways. Thanks @JKforUA for helping us figure this out.
*If you want to boot more than just two roms, that you use the data slot options for your roms which can be named anything you'd like and they will be stored on the phones internal storage.
* Make sure you're on the latest Radio and Bootloader for the nexus 6p, I flashed this and it works fine and is backwards compatible with Marshmallow roms.
Radio & Bootloader link -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/nexus-6p-radio-bootloader-recovery-t3433637
* Use the patcher app to update the ramdisk and set your primary rom's kernel as Primary before patching or flashing anything.
*If you use the fingerprint scanner you'll have to delete the file /data/system/locksettings.db in each multi boot directory, this disables getting an incorrect pin error when switching roms.
*If using a marshmallow and nougat rom you'll need to flash the appropriate vendor image in recovery before boot.
*Vendor images should not be patched.
This process is fairly simple to me because I've been using it for years but if you have any questions feel free to ask in this thread and hit thanks if I helped ya.
* Before reporting errors I would suggest you try the following steps-
1. Make sure you're using this version of the patcher app because it is the one I have been using without issue -
Version 9.1.0r80-
https://dbp.noobdev.io/files/9.1.0....atcherAndroid-9.1.0.r80.gd5920b2-snapshot.apk
2. Make sure you have enough free space to have two of the zips you want to use because that is what you will have after you patch.
3. Make sure your path to the zip is correct when browsing for the zip, go through internal storage to the directory where the zip is.
4. If you get any error patching, uninstall the patcher app, re-download it, and reinstall it.
5. There is also a Windows version you can try if you prefer.
*If you are still having issues we can discuss it here, and if nobody can seem to come up with a fix in this thread then errors can further be reported by following instructions here - https://dbp.noobdev.io/downloads/

Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of this before. A few questions;
How similar/dissimilar to multirom is this?
Do I need a specific kernel, or will it with with any kernel?
I briefly read through the original thread, am I creating a zip that flashes two Roms, or is the zip something that flashes alongside the ROM I currently have?
Thanks for sharing. Used this on my further G4. Didn't know that our device is supported. So no need to wait until multirom is working on 7.1.1. Gonna play around now.
Where do we report errors? I was about to patch several files and the app crashed. I have a couple log files.

I actually prefer it because it's what I'm used to, you can patch whatever kernel you choose and flash it in recovery, reboot into that rom, open the patcher app, set kernel, profit.
Basically you patch the rom zip you want to flash as secondary, or in my case data slot, naming them 2 and 3 because the Multislot options won't flash anything for me but using data slots works fine. Patch rom, patch gapps, patch whatever kernel, flash all in the whatever succession recommended by the rom op, and you'll automatically boot into the newly flashed rom when you reboot.

Hmmm I found this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64727670&postcount=8259
I would try re-downloading the app because I haven't had it crash in any roms I've used yet, I just grabbed the latest build, installed, opened, granted root when prompted, updated the ramdisk if needed which is indicated the app, rebooted when prompted, set kernel, and done.
If it's still crashing for you there's the usual force closing the app from your roms settings and clearing the apps cache and data but you probably already tried that?

I'm gonna play with this over the weekend, I like new stuff!
So whatever fkashable zip I patch will be designated during the flash as secondary (or whatever) and won't overwrite my current ROM allowing it to exist along side it?

Correct, so long as you don't patch it as Primary. It will tell you where it's flashing to in recovery. You can also use the dual boot patcher recovery zip for things like switching roms from recovery and wiping roms, wiping multiboot files will get rid of a rom in its entirety if you wanted to replace it with something else. I've always installed the patcher app in my other roms after first boot and used it to set the kernel for that rom too.

If I'm patching for the data partition, am I correct in making all zips (ROM, Gapps, and su) to the same name? (Ex. I named the ROM zip slot "rom2", and then used the same name for the other zips)

Edit: it worked! It's a little more involved than multirom, but it seems to be fine! Easier than I thought.
I've not yet switched between the two, but the app on the secondary (data slot) recognizes the primary
Wow great. Running great on data-slot. Even magisk is supported. Good to have a new playground. Happy to have the 128 GB variant. Gonna do some test with Viper.
How do I switch roms
All perfect. Viper running with magisk. Every rom i tried booting without any problem. So atm the perfect tool to test other rom!

Cortex also flashes the vendor. Maybe this gives the error because in dualboot all roms use the same vendor partition (could be a problem to flash vendor through dualpatcher...). All other roms i tried vendor was not included to flash (only rom und gapps separately). I am just trying cortex too (just ready to flash). Gonna report, if i succeed.

Cortex rom running fine on multiboot on my device. So no problem with vendor in multiboot. I can also switch back to another rom. As gapps i suggest you to use only dynamic gapps (banks gapps). I always use mini dynamic gapps. Opengapps give many problems.... On primary i got rr oms-release from 12.01. ATM running with 3 different rom all on internal sd card. Just pay attention to give always the same name when patching a zip file in dualpatcher.

Did you flash in twrp (3.0.3.0)? I only use twrp to flash a new multiboot rom. Before flashing a new rom just make sure, you patch all necessary zip files (rom, gapps, etc.). Same name means u choose where (on angler i always choose Data slot - this is internal sd card). Then you give the name (no capital letters) and choose the directory to save the patched file. This you do with every zip file for the rom u gonna flash. The new zip file have the original name and the text "....._data-slot-namegiven.zip" (example for data-slot). The part "data-slot-namegiven" should appeir in every name of the patched zip file. I think with our device it's goot to use the data-slot if you have enough space on your internal sd-card. Using Multi Slot could lead to space problems on system partition of the device. Then just flash the patched files one after another in twrp. Don't forget to flash also patched supersu.zip oder magisk.zip to get root (if it's not in the rom included). You need to patch gapps and supersu or magisk for each slot separately. The name of the patched file just says the path for the multiboot rom. So twrp flashes the patched zip to the right place. Sorry if i wrote to much. Hope it's gonna give you some help. More information you find in the original thread of multiboot.

SM-A320FL - Android 7 - Root, Xposed Framwork and NO Lag Tutorial

I posted this a while ago in the [sm-a320fl][7.0][firmware] thread. Now in a new thread, so everybody will find it.
I'm not responsible for any damage. My phone was not branded.
This tutorial is only for SM-A320FL, also known as Galaxy A3!
Make sure you read the whole tutorial before doing anything.
Make a backup of your data. You need to make a factory reset!
Also read the additional information in the separated threads! Knox will be tripped after that, so you can't use it any more. And no more Warranty!
You can find a Android 7 version with the latest security patch with google or just use the linked one. Make sure the CSC is correct for your country/language.
1. Download the following stuff:
Android 7 A320FLXXU1BQH7_A320FLOXA1BQH7_A320FLXXU1BQG6.zip thx to tys0n

2. Flash Android 7 via Odin. There are enough tutorials on how to do that. Basicly unzip the Android 7 zip file and assign the AP_... file to the AP slot, the BL_... file to the BL slot and so on.
2.a Unlock OEM: Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking More Information
3. Flash TWRP via Odin; Thread with additional informations
Instructions summary:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Now install via TWRP the Boot image patch no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx. To do that, just copy the zip file to your SD card. Go to TWRP and install it with the Install option within TWRP. Reboot to System.
4. Format Data in TWRP. To do that click on Wipe -> Format Data in TWRP. After that all your data is lost! Reboot to System.
5. Copy the Xposed Installer APK file to your SD card and install the APK. Make sure you have third party sources enabled. Reboot to TWRP.
6. Copy the Magisk ZIP file to your SD card and install it via TWRP. Reboot to System.
7. Open the Magisk Manager and enable root access via SuperUser within the Manager.
8. Open the Magisk Manager and search for Xposed Framework SDK 24. You need the SDK 24 or else it won't work. Install Xposed.
8. Open Xposed Installer and install the latest Xposed framework. Follow the steps displayed.
9. Now you should have root access, Magisk and Xposed up and running.

In your original post you wrote SDK25 twice. So it is not obvious you meant SDK24 and SDK25.
I'm sorry that it didn't work for you. Did you use all the files in the tutorial? What phone do you have and what Android 7 version?
Is it normal that the system takes a while to boot after flashing no verity no encrypt?
Should i hard reset? It is been like 5 mins

Before flashing no verity, go to Wipe > Format Data Partition (I cant remember the exact wording)

if you that and you decide to root with magisk you are fked you are gonna face the lock screen delay after you enter the password.
"5. Copy the XposedInstaller_by_dvdandroid_09_09_17.apk file to your SD card and install the APK. Make sure you have third party sources enabled. Reboot to TWRP."
do we install it?? do we just leave it there???
"8. Open the Magisk Manager and search for Xposed Framework SDK 24. You need the SDK 24 or else it won't work. Install Xposed. "
witch means = find the module and install it, then enable it, then reboot. now go to exposed and install it then reboot again, now you do have it.
by the way sorry for my bad english .
Hi there.
I found something interesting by accident.
Maybe it is not necessary to install the Xposed Framework via Magisk.
Just use the Magisk Manager as a Super SU replacement and install the Xposed Framework (latest version is 89) directly via the new Xposed Installer (latest version is 3.1.5).
Official Xposed by rovo89
It seems that the phone is running a little bit smoother.
Also it seems that the boot patch is causing some problems.
Maybe the whole tutorial needs to be overlooked. But unfortunately I have now time right now.

Sorry I have to replay again. I had just a few minutes this morning.
At point 5 I clearly wrote that you have to install the apk!
At point 8 it should be clear that you have to follow the instructions from Xposed. Everybody knows that and has nothing to do with the basic tutorial.

Xposed, Root and what not is nothing for beginners. I clearly mentioned that you have to read a lot of stuff. This is not for beginners. Instead of whining and telling me how to do stuff, just write your own thread. Link everything and mention resources. Not everything in this world is baby save. You have to educate yourself!
I overlooked the whole tutorial. I think it is better now and baby save.

Thank you for your help. I updated my phone to the newest Android 7 version today. I had the same problem and solved it with your method. So I implemented this step into the tutorial.
