[GUIDE][XPOSED][ALL VARIANTS] Installing Xposed without recovery

[tabp0le]

UPDATE: You can install the official Xposed framework (v74) by @rovo89. I have updated the instructions accordingly. It is recommended you upgrade to this version, as it has some bug fixes and is an official version.

You do not need a custom recovery or unlocked bootloader. All you need is root. Here is how I did it:

NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE. FOLLOW THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

1. Download Xposed framework (xposed-v74-sdk22-arm64.zip) from here
2. Download official Xposed installer (XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk) (APK ONLY!) from here
3. Install FlashFire (you will have to sign up for the beta program) here
4. Make sure your phone is fully charged. Make sure it's unplugged from computer or any power source.
5. Flash Xposed framework using FlashFire. (Just use the flash .zip option. Do not check Automount) (This will take A VERY LONG TIME-Your phone will not boot for at least 10-30 minutes.)
6. Install official Xposed installer
7. You have Xposed! Enjoy!

*Please note: Some users have reported the flash appearing successful, but after booting, the Xposed framework is not installed. Some of these users report second and third attempts failing. You may have to try it over and over before it actually installs the framework. Currently it is unknown why this is an issue. This is a rare issue, but there have been a few reports of it.

You're welcome! You have to join the beta community to get FlashFire from PlayStore. That's why you need to join that G+ community.

When you click the "flash" button to start the process, is the screen supposed to go black and stay black through the entire process?

For most of the process, yes. It will almost seem turned off.

Do we choose automount when flashing the zip with flashfire?

Worked perfectly on my Verizon VS986. Took about 20 minutes. Make sure the phone isn't plugged into computer or charging. I had it charging and flashfire wouldn't run. Unplugged it and worked fine! Thanks!

If a factory reset is done, will root and xposed still be implemented?

Yes, though you will have to re-install the Xposed Installer apk.

 

[Mr.Miyagi555]
