Hey! So recently I got a Samsung Galaxy J3 and was wondering if it was possible to get Xposed on it? Flashing a Zip is not an option, by the way.
Hey man, I'm right there with you, I want to know as well. I hope this thread gets more attention! I got this phone recently myself and am so far very sad at the lack of ability to do things with it root-wise, such as getting root to frickin stick and getting things like Xposed installed (with-out boot looping your device....).
Hi,
If you're on 5.0.x, flash Xposed by arter97.
If you're on 5.1.x, flash Xposed by wanam.
Find both on Xposed General thread.

The problem is that I don't have custom recovery either, and I'm not yet experienced enough to know how to flash something like xposed without it, without bootlooping. I actually already have the xposed you're talking about, wanam is what I need since im on 5.1, so if someone guides me on how to flash it or at least points me in the right direction, maybe that'd help.
Also as a side question, somewhat related to this, anyone know what I should do about custom recovery? There are models close to mine but not the exact same that are covered by TWRP or CWMR, but I've been very strongly advised against such a course of action.

I'd recommend TWRP, actually. If your device doesn't have a custom recovery developed, it could be a pain. Just hoping if someone could develop it one for your device.

I would agree with you, as I had TWRP on my last phone and liked it quite a bit. I just don't know which phone's TWRP to try and how to try and flash it on there. Do I do it through Odin? Theres (if I recall correctly) a TWRP for the Samsung Galaxy J2 and J5, on either side of my J3 (Which it's so odd that the newer phone came out with a "series" number in the middle like that). Which would you suggest I do, J2 or J5, or neither?

Me being dumb, I tried manually installing the required files for Xposed a few weeks ago and it bricked immediately. So I had to get a replacement. I'm not sure if it's because I did it wrong but based on that I don't think we'll ever be able to install Xposed which really sucks. Coming from my previous phone which had a lot of tweaks from xposed it just feels weird using a normal phone.

I know what you mean. Every time I restart my phone I have to re-root it if I want to do something with it. Luckily I don't really need root on this phone. Mainly because of the lack of things you can do with it. Hoping to see something come out of this though

I know exactly what you both mean. My previous crappy phone had loads of things from xposed on there that I missed. However the good news I guess is since I don't need certain UI tweaks because I'm satisfied with what this phone comes with I'm not missing out on too much. And thus far every time I get bootloop I just use Odin to flash a copy of the original firmware and somehow it doesn't reset everything so I can still keep trying without losing all my apps. Just haven't found anything that sticks. Maybe one of us should try a custom recovery from a different Samsung Galaxy J Series like the 2 or 5.

Yeah I mainly used Xposed on my previous phone to make it look more like Lollipop but since this phone comes with it I don't need it as much. And I didn't know you were able to unbrick this phone? I would have saved about $40 if I knew that ? well then yeah we should probably try one of them. I think we should go with the newest one though
Thats what I was thinking, but I don't know which J series came out before the J3 this year or I'd try that one. And yep, luckily able to unbrick it thanks to Odin. Actually unbricked it from even worse than a boot loop, I accidentally destroyed my recovery somehow so I couldn't even boot into that and do a factory reset, but thankfully Odin's separate from the recovery so it still worked. End of the day if you can at least get your phone recognized by your computer and can flash something onto it, flashing stock = unbrick (usually).
I own the J3 also. Have gained temp root via king root so I could debloat the system. We need a cf auto root option. Our device is 5.1.1 and I think the kernel has to be modified for true root. Then development can start. As for xposed,you need full root for that to work properly. I suggest to you all to get a copy of the device firmware,install odin on pc so you can reinstall firmware if you decide to use temp root and end up boot looped after debloating to much or making other potentially harmful changes.

I have the same thing, temp root that's lost when I reboot. I've already had to go the Odin route with the original firmware so I've got my backup covered. I'm also working with the dev behind Super Sume and he thinks he has the issue resolved, if not he's going to teamview with me to try and get past this. If we manage to solve the problem I'll post the results and subsequent steps here. Hopefully this will lead to root sticking through reboot. If so then at minimum may be able to solve -some- of the problems. Though I don't know if this will fix Xposed not working, as it always caused me to boot-loop in the past (only solved by going into TWRP and rebooting from there) and even if root sticks the only way to flash Xposed according to current theories is to do so from custom recovery, which I haven't found one for this device yet.
Have you been able to get a custom recovery on your J3? If so that would be the other key part to solving a lot of these problems. If I get the Super Sume to work and someone else can manage to get a custom recovery working, maybe that'll be the start of this device's support here =D.
No but I believe by repacking an edited firnware you can add xposed that way.

Unfortunately I wouldn't know the first thing about editing a firmware, much less be able to add Xposed lol. Could that be a way to manually add custom recovery? Or are we still dependent on someone making a version compatible with this phone?
will need a custom recovery built for the device. with proper root you could then use flashify to install it to the device. root opens the door for everything. temp root will never get much except ability to debloat the device.

i reached out to chainfire in hopes of cf auto root for the j3. but have not heard back. but does not mean i wont. will see. otherwise i will keep on trying what i can.
Quick question. Has anyone updated their J3 yet? I keep getting a notification for a Software update, is it safe?

Ive been seeing that too and ignoring/swiping it away. Not sure what it is though.
my system is edited so im not getting update pushes. probably nothing significant.

Your J3 is modified? Temp root, or something else?
ok, so there are some things i've found out by doing some research and combining what i found on here with the issues that some people were having with the Cricket version of the LG Stylo, and would like to share with you guys. while i was rooting my phone with kingroot, i noticed a threat that discussed that using supersu me and supersu wasn't an option without soft bricking your phone with a boot loop, after some research and trial i figured out how to get around the problem. The issue was the uninstallation of kinguser app form the phone, this is because using supersu me uninstalls kingroot and replaced it with the superuser binaries, but it leaves some core files of kinguser behind which causes errors, an if you keep your phone on, you'll notice that you'll start getting error messages for an about kingroot permission and all types of errors until your phone starts to freeze and act up. there is an easy fix for it all that worked for me, and would like to share this information and help people having this issue.....
I'm posting this as a hint for those who needed the help with installing xposed on cricket model LG STYLO only running 5.1.1
so to begin, download system repair 2016 and apps2sd from play store, kinguser directly from their site so it will be the latest version,,,root your phone,,,,,don't delete the kinguser apk you downloaded you'll need it for later,,,,now install supersu me from the play store and open and run it, it'll uninstall kinguser and replace the binaries for superuser, this is where its gonna become tricky,,,,,,download supersu and run which will ask for update of binaries also let it finish updating and uninstall the supersu me control,,,,,now open apps2sd and clear the davik cache and other caches without restarting,,,,then run system repair 2016, it'll show that you had a few errors because kinguser hates the fact that supersu me uninstalled it and left messed up configurations on your phone, then clear the davik cache again, now you have to use the same kinguser apk you get at the start of the process and reinstall it to your phone, or else you will be getting a boot loop issue......for some reason even though all the caches are cleared and the system has been checked for errors, the kinguser app installs itself as a system app, a dependency if you will, like a basic LG/Cricket app that if you uninstall will cause errors, so but reinstalling it we stop that problem, you can run it but don't need to activate the root option of kinguser......this will cause the kinguser permission errors to stop also from this point only you can restart your phone,,,,,now you're able to install flashfire and xposed frameworks, and even restart your phone without worry of boot looping since there isn't much support for the LG-H634 stylo model.........:angel::angel:
hope this was helpful for you guys that was in need of replacing kinguser, and installing xposed framework, i've not tried anything further with the twrp install but keep a look out for the names "vegito6" "vegito69" ....and wish me luck on twrp

I'm pretty sure that you ended up with brick because you didn't unlock your bootloader before backing up. My girlfriend did the same thing. As of right now I'm trying to figure out If there's a way past the bootloader or at least a way to do everything the bootloader can do without unlocking it.
Original Firmware
Can we not flash the original firmware via download mode ? I had this phone (bought from a friend, cricket sim unlocked, phone bricked while i was playing around. )
I'm not super familiar with LG phones, but i keep hearing about a KDZ , is that some kind of official image format ?
If we can flash it for stock via download mode, can someone direct me as to where I might find instructions for our variant of the device, please ?
I was able to replace Kingroot with SuperSu using a guide I found on a website called w0lfdroid, I think. I just Google 'replace Kingroot with SuperSu and it was the second one down (I'm a new user so I can't post the link). I think it worked pretty well, but I'm still not able to flash TWRP or start the process to get xposed. If I can't get it, I might unroot and try the process again with this method.
as anyone with brick try this http://lg-firmware-rom.com/downloads/lg-g-stylo-h634-stock-tot-firmware-v10g/ , they offer files for unbricking, $40 bucks
what do you guys think

works great, after flashing with LG Flash tools tot method just take out battery and wait 5sec, and put it back in and turn on, android logo will show and then it will boot normally, now i'm back to working on the supersu install methods to help people from bricking, wish me luck . also backing up boot img and then trying to use super sume to switch to still will cause boot looping to my knowledge. got 2 phones working on it, thanks to our annonomous LG guys for the unbricking

well not really, because if you go into the developer options there is the oem bootloader unlock you can select, not sure but i've got a cricket and boost version i've been working on it for a while, for some reason the phone doesn't like the way SU gets injected into the phone, and writes things to the wrong areas, i've been playing with some scripts for superuser installers from zip, hopefully i get a hit.

I noticed there is no solution posted. I recently bricked my phone and fixed it, thanks to you. I was simply wondering of there has been progress with getting the framework installed. Your help is much appreciated.
So I'm sort of confused... I cannot install xposed, and can't seem to find a work around. I am rooted but not with kingroot. I used a one click root tool on pc, and works great... Using su that is suggested using in this guide, so no trace of king root. Idk, could someone give me a quick run down on how to install xposed?
So no luck with installing xposed yet
So far I am rooted with Super SU and have exposed installer I'm just having a hard time getting the framework installed. I do not have custom recovery installed. Is there any way to flash the framework zip file with like flashify or another app like that?
First off, I have little knowledge about rooting, custom recoveries.. etc. I'm a noob.
My problem is that I do have my Samsung Galaxy E5 (S978L) rooted with King Root (verified with root checker).
But I am trying to get rid of King Root and replace it with SuperSU. I have the SuperSU-Me app installed, but it
doesn't get past "Processing, please wait...". The regular SuperSU app gives me an error when I try to install it,
and it says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I have to select normal? Since my device is not listed
under TWRP's install menu... and the normal install fails leading me to "Installation failed! please reboot and try again"
which obviously doesn't work for me. I think I read something about unlocking bootloaders, but I am not sure where
to go from that, since samsung is harder to do that with? Correct me if I'm wrong. Also I don't think it helps that this E5
is the straight talk tracfone model.
Bottom line is I am trying to replace King Root with SuperSU, and install TWRP onto my POS phone. Any help is appreciated. Once again, I have no clue about anything really. Trying to learn this stuff
Try this SuperSu Me version, it worked like charm for me,

I started a thread about thishere.
Has some useful info for you. Supersume got rid of king root for me, version 6.7 did it I'll try to upload it later. Also as far as a custom recovery, we are still working on making a permissive kernel which I feel like I am getting closer, but not having a computer to test with if I brick I'm out the game for a little bit lol. Also in my thread at my latest post I explained how to find the proper partitions to dump with dd in terminal emulator, to make a proper nandroid. Many useful articles on this site. Good luck. Maybe you should merge this with the other thread I linked and started for our sneaky straight talk phones. Also, once we get the permissive kernel, we can get the custom recovery going probably, bootloader needs to be unlocked too. Anyways ya, be easy.
Just a little update: I finally have SuperSU installed. For some reason, supersu me wasn't working with my king root, however once I uninstalled it, and installed KINGOroot supersu me worked...
Maybe I can now assist in your process since I have a powerful computer and a decent paying job. But my days are pretty busy. But shortly I'll be trying to make a nandroid backup after doing some reading. Have to learn some of this stuff. But my next couple days are packed. Anyways thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Hey guys,
I've had some experience rooting other phones but never a Moto X before so I tried following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3200808
Then I got to the bit where it says if running 6.0 I need to follow these steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...t-moto-x-style-xt1572-br-marshmallow-t3259380
Went through that successfully and it seemed to work OK until I realised I had no wifi. It was toggled off so I tried turning it back on with no success. It just instantly toggles off as soon as I turn it on. So I just tried to revert back and try again by using the provided boot_orig.img but same thing. It removed the root but Wifi still has issues so I am thinking the img is probably wrong for my model despite it saying it is for the XT1572 model.
I searched for the wifi issue problem and found a few people having the same issues. Followed the guides about flashing twrp and loading SuperSu 2.62 which some stated fixed their issues. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I'd still like to root but at this stage I just want to get wifi working but I think I'll need a proper boot image for my model of phone.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks!

So basically, you followed an ANCIENT guide that had you replace your kernel with one that is too old for your modem firmware. (That's a statement, not a question)
Hopefully you did a full backup in TWRP before you rooted, because you need to restore it, and then root properly... otherwise you need to reflash the stock firmware, but if you were on the latest version there no current firmware image available, so we have a conundrum.
Can you tell us your radio baseband and kernel versions from Settings - About Phone please?

I didn't take a backup as TWRP broke during the process but the root worked. I am only on 6.0 so is that ok to resolve? I can't see the baseband details at the moment as I am boot looping due to trying to follow another guide on resolving my issues. Trying to load a stock rom on to my device through TWRP now. Will report back soon.
OK I have managed to restore the phone to stock and got wifi working again which is great. Now to attempt rooting again. What method do you recommend for this phone running 6.0?

Magisk is probably the easiest now days, and most flexible but I haven't tested it... or the method in my signature which I know works.
Get the latest version of TWRP, and backup, and get it off the device... it can be a life saver later.

OK yep installed TWRP, performed backup, flashed supersu, booted and confirmed root, updated supersu, downloaded and installed magisk.
Now what I want to do is load the sony framework and get a root cloak. Any ideas of best way for that?

Now what I want to do is load the sony framework and get a root cloak. Any ideas of best way for that?

Nope... Not a clue, sorry.
Ok, I have rooted Galaxy S4s and 5s, usually the T-Mobile versions. I just ordered a used SM-G950F off ebay. It did not say if it was Nougat or Oreo.
Been searching, and have not found my answer, so I hope someone might be able to send me a link or advise me.
Want a rooted S8. Stock rom would be ok, but I would prefer custom down the road.
This is how I have been rooting the S4s and 5s
Put SuperSU zip on phone.
Then flash TWRP from Oden and not let it reboot. Do a battery pull, and then start the phone to recovery, then flash the SuperSU from TWRP.
Can I do this with the S8 ? (SM-G950F)
Thanks!
Come on you gurus, just take 1 minute and help me out ..... ffs
or maybe I posted the question in the wrong place, or your bored with the question.
I was a mod on another type of forum, I posted a sticky ... you dumb asses

There's literally dozens of guides on how to root the G950F. Come on you guru, do a Google search for one minute and help yourself out.

But seriously, I heard about a bootloader, (version 2?) that if I try to flash twrp might brick my phone. Have not actually pulled the trigger on buying a SM-G950F yet, but want to know if I can attain root on this device if its on android V8.0
I did try searching, but it just sits there with no results no matter what I put in the field. Might be because I am in Alaska and my internet SUCKS!
I am at the point I would pay someone like $20 via paypal if they know what they are doing and they want to give me Tech Support

The process I've followed is as follows.
Now please take into account that I flash twrp and part of that process is that data partition needs to be formatted, so make sure anything that's needed back it up.
Have a look at some roms, download one to your memory card.
Flash twrp via Odin, you will need to wipe data in twrp and return to twrp.
Flash the Rom in twrp as normal.
Now if you want just root, flashing cf-autoroot via Odin is the of other choice, flashing magisk or supersu will involve twrp so like I said earlier you'll end up wiping data.
Hope this helps in some sort of way
Thanks! I have been searching for hours in my free time to see if I can do this. I just read in a few threads that if the phone is on Oreo it would have a locked bootloader. I went thru that helping my buddy root his ATT 337 S4. Almost bricked his phone.
I will be starting with a new phone, dont care about tripping knox. Just want root so I can use titanium backup to freeze/uninstall any of the bloat. I would get a costom rom after root eventually.
I will get a SH-G950F ordered. I just didnt want to get the phone and not be able to root. Almost ordered The SH-G950U and its got snapdragon, and I read thats not the best version if I have a choice.
I love my rooted S4 but its kind a turtle so need to move forward.
Thanks So much for your help sofir786 !!!!!
