KatAutoRoot
This method uses a modified stock boot.img for the Galaxy K Zoom C115
that will root automatically the current /system in place without flashing a new system image.
Download: http://downloads.timduru.org/android/kzoom/root/Tim_KZoom_KatAutoRootV3.zip
What you get:
- Stock kernel 3.4.39-1837070
- Root + SuperSu apk
- sysrw/sysro
- addblocker (/etc/hosts)
- init.d support
- microSD card write fix for non system applications (modified platform.xml)
The good thing with this new method is that it will also auto-reroot the system if su disappears.
So for example you can flash a new official stock system.img and then on the 1st boot it will root it again automatically, no need to do anything else.
(as long as you don't flash another boot.img of course)
What you need:
- Computer with Odin working (Tested with V3.09)*
- File from above.
How to root:
- Unzip the file on the computer with odin ( you get a .tar.md5 file)
- Shutdown mobile
- Start mobile in odin mode*
(push *together: volume down + home + power, * when confirmation screen appears, push *vol up to confirm)
- Launch Odin
- Connect phone by USB *(Odin will display *"Added", if it works and com port should be listed)
- In Odin options you only need Autoreboot checked
- Click on AP choose the *.tar.md5 unzipped previously
- Wait that odin checks the file (can take a few seconds and odin can freeze during that time, just wait)
- Click on Start
Odin will flash the image and reboot
If you are having wifi password issues, to make sure it works let it boot fully once after flashing, then reboot
(you might have to reenter your wifi password the 1st time you flash)
Happy rooting !
As usual, use at your own risk

Fantastic! Thanks for this, much appreciated
Hi Timduru!
What are the advantages of this method compared to the first one? I rooted with the first method and all is working very good but i'd like to know the differencies!

This one will not flash a system.img , but root your current /system in place.
it will also auto-reroot if you update the system and lose su
That also makes it a smaller download, only a few MBs compared to almost a GB before
If you already used the 1st method you don't need to flash this one.
But will be easier to use this one after the next update in that case.

I tried the original method of rooting and it worked without any noticeable issue. Then I read your post about possible kernel conflicts, so I re-rooted with your latest method (didn't want to try the French version in case of potential problems in the future) However, after this re-rooting, I could not update the SU binaries using the normal method, after each attempt it disabled my SIM card which was a worry, but after 2-3 attempts I tried the CWM/TWRP method to update the binaries and that worked oddly enough. Since then everything appears to be working 100% OK.
The main thing is I have my ad blocking, Titanium Backup and most importantly SD card access for my apps!
Thanks again

Yeah, if you had an already rooted system by a different method before,
the thing to do before flashing this one is to cleanup the previous /system/xbin/su or reflash a stock system.img
otherwise it will not reinstall.
Updating through recovery like you did is fine too.

That was what I am waiting for so long since I selled my rooted S4 Zoom to get the K Zoom!
:laugh::good:
Thank you for this, had my Zoom for a few days and was frustrated not to be able to restore some backed up apps
Just a question, since the device now shows status as "custom", how would you go about un-rooting so you can restore using Samsung Kies if needed?

Same as above but you'd use the official firmware zip,
open the file and just leave the boot.img and system.img
and flash that.
Sooooo glad to hear this. thx man.
the problem is there're various versions of k zoom.
currently 2 model in china. c1116 for china unicom wcdma only. c1158 for china mobile td-scdma. not to mention c115 for many other markets.
is this method suit for all model, or some of them. if so, which model you guys successfully tested?
will test on my c1116 next week. but if anyone can provide their details, will be a great help.
again, great work, it's been a life saver since my ****ty carrier simply deleted any google service and had to stick to whatever bone he throws.
Still WiFi issues...

I tried it the first time with the autorootV3, not any older versions before, but it forgets all WiFi passwords...

Should I flash your Kernel for the K Zoom to fix this or is there an other way to fix it?

Thank god, I was getting very stressed that my WiFi was not auto connecting and I tried various things to correct it. Came here to find a solution and voilà! Now all working on re-booting. Thanks for the update!!
I tried everything as described, refreshed the whole stock rom and flashed your kernel...
This doesn't helped...
Nothing more to loose, before I make an full wipe, I decided to freeze and than deinstalled the Security store.
Immediately after that, I turn Wifi off and later on...
Wifi works like a charm now!
Do I have to reinstall the secure store?
For what is it, when it stores my passwords for my Wifi connections?!?
Confused ?

I know a lot of people are going to have problems updating to the latest gingerbread build.
PLEASE NOTE: This update will remove root but you can root again with CF-Root from second post.
ALSO, THIS PROCESS WILL WIPE DEVICE!
1) Put your P1010 into download mode (by holding POWER and VOL-DOWN):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2)I went ahead and used ODIN tool to downgrade/upgrade to the latest FROYO firmware before Gingerbread:
P1010XWKC1_OXX
(OEM Flash Guide here)
You should have the same tick marks and files loaded as in my screenshot. Be sure that the box is yellow on the right and you can initiate the firmware install by clicking 'Start'.
3) (VARIES) From there, after restart some people will experience a force close followed by a reboot loop. You will need to flash this kernel via ODIN:
P1010ZHKF1-kernel
(Flash this the same way as above but UNCHECK Re-Partition and CSC!)
4) You will then be able to boot into Froyo.
5) You will use ODIN again to install the Gingerbread update and flash just the PDA (leave CSC blank and leave Re-partition unchecked this time).
P1010XEUKPG
(Flash this the same way you flashed the Kernel in step #2)
6) After it reboots, you will have 2.3.6
7) (Optional) steps in post #2 to install CWM Recovery and Root.
I recommend installing CWM Recovery and CFRoot in the thread below:
ClockWorkMod Recovery for P1010
After you install CWM Recovery, you can do a nandroid backup and never worry about brick again! (=
Also, you can use ES Explorer to mount root and get rid of the Samsung bloatware (AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!)
For those wanting to remove the bloatware (AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!):
You can remove the bloatware with ES Explorer, there's an option to enable 'Root Explorer'. Download the latest version from the Market.
See below:
screenshots are from my Galaxy Nexus but it's the same for any Android 2.2+.
1) Go to the 'Settings' screen
2) Change home directory to '/'
3) Tick the 2 marks on the bottom
4) Browse to /system/app
5) Delete whichever app you don't want, but do it with caution (I usually move these files to /sdcard and move back if it causes any type of force close)
If you totally borked out the system in such a way that you can't boot, you can always move it back in recovery via ADB (much more complicated process but it's possible).
Also, why not do a nandroid backup before messing with deep system files?
Nice! Great topic.
Updated op! =)

If you followed those steps, the ROM runs stable without any FC's or reboots. I even have setCPU installed on mine.
Also, it's good to note that I'm running CF-Root kernel from the thread in 2nd post.
Plus, you could always downgrade if you run into issues. Just remember to always BACKUP YOUR DATA!

im getting excited about this.. is it really for the p1010 wifi only device? because from what i can see in this subforum is the devs working on the p1000 only. another thing, please don't tell me this is an official update. i don't think the bad sammy will update this little tab.
Depending on where you are freon yes it its the official ireland uk update and makes massive difference as well

sorry for the newbie question, but what's the password for the 2.3.3 file from sammobile?
edit: already found it, my bad
Interestingly, I've followed the guide exactly as mentioned above (had KC1 and the HK kernel from previous flashing) and flashed the PDA for XEU 2.3 from Sammobile, and I'm now stuck in an eternal bootloop. I like the new samsung boot music though, better than the previous one
Any suggestions?
Edit: I wiped data and cache from recovery, flashed KC1 and the Kernel and it boots fine. Checked Kies to be sure and it's offering me FW upgrade to KM2. Should I accept this FW upgrade or just persevere with flashing the new 2.3 firmware?
It all started with the plan to root the device Samsung Galaxy Note 3
I had rooted the device using Kingo Android root. This had gone successfully. Then I tried to install some apps which needs root access. I tried an app called EFS, I though I would back up EFS and NV_ *, When I clicked on backup NV_* (cant remember the whole name), thats when the problem started. It had been 2 days since I had been trying different things to recover the device.
I went into recovery mode and tried
Clear cache
Then Back up my data and did factory reset
Between boot loops I had the opportunity to uninstalled the EFS app
Then installed twrp and tried this blog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471421
eventually, I thought of letting go of my data, so did the format of data
used ODIN to and flashed this ROM from this blog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540822
Despite all these steps I cannot get it working.
Current phone behaviour
The phone keeps booting again, once the UI of the phone starts, I get a window of 1 min before the phone restarts again. I get a message saying "Process system isn't responding"
I am willing to try anything to get the device functional, if it means to build it from scratch. This is my first time venturing into this side of the world, I would be thankful if you can guide me with the steps to perform a build from scratch, or direct me to a blog where I can do this?

You haven't flashed a stock rom... That is rooted and so is no longer a stock rom. Go to Sammobile.com to get a pure stock rom...
Just a note for you, whether it says stock is solely reliant on it being NOT tampered with. Rooting a stock rom no longer makes it stock, it is just a description that means no tweaks were applied or bloatware removed...
Remember that the bootloader must match the stock rom. If you are trying to flash a lower version rom onto an MJ3 or higher bootloader you will get bootloops.
The same applies if you have updated to Kitkat rom.
If you haven't updated to 4.4.2, then you should check this[first post]

Use This It'll fix it. - You have to install a custom recovery via Odin then flash that fix and you'll be alright, you EFS is warped is all.
I had already tried that fix, but with no luck. I flashed that fix with a lot of combinations like with fresh install of stock rom, with rooted rom etc. No luck

Hi
As I struggled a bit, here's how to root the HTC One M8 Dual SIM.
Disclaimer
As always, if you **** your phone up, it's not my fault. Don't blame me. Further, I will not answer any questions about this. Please help yourself.
Please use the "Thanks" ( :good: ) button if you just want to say "Thank you" or "Great" or "I wanna marry you".
Prerequisites
HTC One M8 Dual SIM (m8_dugl)
A complete backup of your phone! (e.g. with titanium backup)
fastboot installed
USB Cable
Some time (do not hurry!)
htc DEV UNLOCK (http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions)
Warning
Make sure you have a "m8_dugl" device:
Reboot your device to the bootloader (POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then POWER+VOLUME_DOWN). If it reads there something different than "m8_dugl", then this guide is not for you!
Steps
Download the custom recovery "TWRP" from here: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M8)/ALL/Recovery (See hint below)
Download "UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" to you phone's internal SD
--> Until now no harm has been done to you device but DEV UNLOCK. So this would also be a good time to do a BACKUP! #JustSaying
Open a command prompt and navigate to your fastboot executable.
Put your phone into fastboot mode: POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then press POWER+VOLUME_DOWN. You see some options soon. Use the volume buttons to navigate, the power button to perform the selected action. Select FASTBOOT and press the POWER button.
Connect you phone to the PC
Type "./fastboot boot path/to/where/you/saved/TWRP_Recovery_x.x.x.x_M8_CPTB.img"
If boot does not work, you can flash the recovery to your phone. But remember: When you do a stock update, you must revert back to a stock recovery!
Do flash the custom recovert, type "./fastboot flash recovery path/to/where/you/saved/TWRP_Recovery_x.x.x.x_M8_CPTB.img"
Touch "Install"
Select the "UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" file
Swipe to start
Touch Reboot System.
You're phone should be rooted.
** Hint **
If the newest TWRP does not work, try a different one.
If none of them work, try the official one: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/225
If the official TWRP does not work for you, you can try the following one, but it's rather old: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...al-sim-european-version-t2816991/post54258731

PS: @donmarkoni provided some resources that might be useful to you. See his post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56134225&postcount=12
Changelog:
[2015-01-18] Updated parts that do not work anymore. Made version numbers generic.
[2014-10-20] a) I have been hinted that the official TWRP should work for the m8_dugl as well. b) The current version of SuperSU is v2.14 and works well. c) @donmarkoni provided some more resources worth mentioning.

Hi
As I struggled a bit, here's how to root the HTC One M8 Dual SIM.
Disclaimer
As always, if you **** your phone up, it's not my fault. Don't blame me. Further, I will not answer any questions about this. Please help yourself.
Prerequisites
HTC One M8 Dual SIM (m8_dugl)
fastboot installed
USB Cable
Some time (do not hurry!)
htc DEV UNLOCK (http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions)
Note: Reboot your device to the bootloader (POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then POWER+VOLUME_DOWN). If it reads there something different than "m8_dugl", then this guide is not for you!
Steps
Download the custom recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...al-sim-european-version-t2816991/post54258731 (It must be made for the m8_dugl, the 'normal' m8 recoveries from TWRP/CWM do not work (yet)!)
Download "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" to you phone's internal SD
Open a command prompt and navigate to your fastboot executable.
Put your phone into fastboot mode: POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then POWER+VOLUME_DOWN. Now you see some options. Use the volume buttons to navigate, the power button to perform the selected action. (Just select FASTBOOT and press the POWER button.)
Connect you phone to the PC
Type "./fastboot boot path/to/where/you/saved/m8-dual-twrp.img"
--> Until now no harm has been done to you device but DEV UNLOCK. So this would also be a good time to do a BACKUP! #JustSaying
Touch "Install"
Select the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" file
Swipe to start
Touch Reboot System.
You should be rooted.
I did not test that yet, but this method should not prevent you from receiving OTAs. But I won't vouch for that.
Cheers,
Chris

Thank you Chris,
step by step guides are always helpful, as the answer a lot of questions about the whole procedure. So I´m at least rooted now. Let´s see if OTA´s will work, but they can also be installed via adb. I prefer having a custom recovery for installs and making backups from data, so this solution is the one I need (and always used before btw).
Thank you !
Guido
thanks alot i hope xda opening section for us HTC-M8 Dual Sim Owners

By the way, do you know of unlocking the bootloader with HTC Dev create any issue for the future OTA?

Stuck in a boot loop
Hi,

Is there anything I can do?

I read somewhere that our dual sim should get directly Android L and until then no update. Xposed module, sense 6 and Wanam Xsense are working good, of course u need to be rooted
FYI - You might want to update this guide to point to the official TWRP for M8 now that it supports Dual SIM.

Hi,
trying to root a phone of a friend, z1 compact.
He has 5.1.1 installed.
Should i wait or root now, because i heard there is a new update for z1compact? Do i need to unlock the bootloader to root it? New version is not stable yet i read and causes bootloops.
What is the easiest way i should root it, step by step?
I am not that experienced with android myself, so any tips are welcome. He just wants his phone rooted to control internet/data access for some apps, and have more control over the apps installed....
Thanks in advance!

Someone here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/root-14-6-0-368-via-kingroot-t3242735 - says they got kingroot method working on 5.1, but not yet able to switch to SuperSU, (https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...bskDFQ&usg=AFQjCNEbOT7fDsBIA-flXO3m6zakipqSLw). I haven't heard of that working on 5.1 up till now. Besides that with locked bl, only root is this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ck-step-step-to-rooted-lollipop-14-6-t3213465.
Doesn't seem to be any reason to wait. The last update is still 5.1, and the last news is that there will be no M for Z1c, - (http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...al/marshmallow-upgrade-z1-z1-compact-t3218903).

1. Somehow downgrade device to stock kitkat (that is 4.4 right?), then root it

I haven't yet tried .216. Its new as of a couple of days ago. I also haven't yet tried PRFs. I've read a few threads that seem to indicate occasional problems with them. Since I have unlocked bl, I've been able to root the easy way, so I'm not sure what options or limitations there are with that rooting method. From my experience, I would recommend RockZ1 ROM, (.368). It has anything you would want included, and may well update to the new fw anytime soon...
Don't unlock the bootloader many functions will be lost if you are trying to keep the stock rom.

The device is now in Boot Loop after trying to go from the 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 using Sony Mobily Flasher and then trying to install 14.4.A.0.157 ...
What did I do wrong, what can i do now?
Thanks for any help
I just turned phone off, loaded 14.4.A.0.157 with Sony Mobile Flasher, plugged in with volume down key. Then it was flashing and finished. Then unplugged and started.
And now it keeps restarting at startup (when the "waves" appear). That's a bootloop right? I turned it off with the small red button now.
I tried flashing again with same method. And it is still bootlooping after it......
Any expert could help? Or is the phone broken forever now

The msg about unknown sources, etc. comes after the flash bc now your phone is stock, so by default they're not checked. It wouldn't have flashed if they weren't checked in the first place. You'll probably hit some bumps, but don't give up. There's almost always a fix...
On rooted 4.4.4 with Superuser installed. Then trying to load the prerooted 5.1.1 zip.
So rebooted with volume down and installed the prerooted zip file from SD. With CWRM
Everything seems to work, but at the end of flashing i saw some message like:
"set_perm some changes failed"
Then after restart all apps get optimized and i am on 5.1.1.
However, i think i lost root, also no SuperUser installed? And the Superuser was included in the zip prerooted file.
Don't worry, seems to work fine after installing lockeddualrecovery.
How exactly do i install the
xposed-v75-sdk22-arm.zip ?
thanks in advance

Open recovery > select 'install' > choose file. You'll get a long reboot and the whole 'optimizing' thing again.
Yes, after installing xposedv75, it rebooted and loaded addiotional ~+100 apps But it seems to work.
What program would you guys recommend in terms of saving data, restricting internet access of apps (and maybe even ads). And some other for spoofing/restricting requested usage access of certain apps?
(I tried Xprivacy, but it is pretty advanced. It did not seem to block inapp ads or internet access, even when you denied it. Also it only lists apps which are newly installed, not preinstalled ones.
Maybe it is easy but I just didn't understand it yet )
Right so I have tried out with different ways of installing xposed on my device,
and this is what I found out that works That I want to share with you guys.
Note: All these is not my work, I just wanted to show you guys a way to install it
Warning : Make sure you have unlock your bootloader, and rooted your device or else it won't work for you!
Also if you have any problem, don't blame me, because you chose to make the decision to modify your device!
Installation:
1) First of all, Install a few apps: "Xposed installer" "Flashfire" (What I use for flashing the .zip files, because we don't have custom recovery for dual sim users yet)
2) Go to this official xposed link to download the "xposed-v79-sdk21-arm64.zip" file
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Note: If you are using Snapchat, remember to login your account first, or else you won't able to login your account after flashing Xposed.
3) Open "Flashfire", Press the + button on the right bottom corner, choose the xposed.zip file you just downloaded. (Don't tick the Auto-mount box)
4) Important!!! Wipe Dalvik cache and Cache partition for good measure.
5) Wait for your device to finish the job to boot in to the system again, sometimes it will cause a once or twice bootloop, but it will boot into the system eventually.
6) After installing Xposed, you will find out that the Camera App stops working, or Force Close.
7) To fix the issue, all you have to do is to deodex the Sony camera app, which you can find out in this post.

After you deodex your camera app. If you don't know how to put it into your phone with adb, you can just put it on to your sdcard, used rootexplorer or other file manager that supports root actions, copy the file into system/priv-app/cameracommon/ and then reboot your phone
8) If your camera app is not updated, you can go to this link and download the new version.

9) After you fix everything, you can download all the xposed apps and play around with them :good:
Boot.img if needed:
1) Extract the .rar file
2) Click boot on the "Partition to flash"
3) Open 123.exe and choose boot.img
4) Put your phone into fastboot mode (make sure you device it is connected)
5) Just flash and when you see it is done unplug and thats it

Tip: I don't recommend updating the supersu.apk just stick with what version you got
Extra Audio files if needed:
Link for Dolby Atom app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446
Viper4Android also works for me, so if you are a big fan of V4A please download and install it on to your device

(Remember to download SeLinux on to your phone, or else the Audio Apps won't work!)

Right so I have tried out with different ways of installing xposed on my device,
and this is what I found out that works That I want to share with you guys.
Note: All these is not my work, I just wanted to show you guys a way to install it
Warning : Make sure you have unlock your bootloader, and rooted your device or else it won't work for you!
Also if you have any problem, don't blame me, because you chose to make the decision to modify your device!
Installation:
1) First of all, Install a few apps: "Xposed installer" "Flashfire" (What I use for flashing the .zip files, because we don't have custom recovery for dual sim users yet)
2) Go to this official xposed link to download the "xposed-v79-sdk21-arm64.zip" file
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Note: If you are using Snapchat, remember to login your account first, or else you won't able to login your account after flashing Xposed.
3) Open "Flashfire", Press the + button on the right bottom corner, choose the xposed.zip file you just downloaded. (Don't tick the Auto-mount box)
4) Important!!! Wipe Dalvik cache and Cache partition for good measure.
5) Wait for your device to finish the job to boot in to the system again, sometimes it will cause a once or twice bootloop, but it will boot into the system eventually.
6) After installing Xposed, you will find out that the Camera App stops working, or Force Close.

What do you mean you stuck on the unlock bootloader? And also I am using the 28.A.8.266 at the moment, nothing seems to be wrong, I just basically unlock my bootloader and flash the boot.img to root my phone :highfive:

Ok great news I already unlocked my bootloader. I know how to flash boot.img. (using adb...) Just searching a proper one(working) on z3+ e6533 dual 28.A.8.266 firmware.
Can you mention the link where I can get the right boot.img for my phone?
May be a recovery.img too? So I can backup and restore when needed?

well I will upload mine to the website, I will add a link for you when it is uploaded
Forgot to say that unfortunately there still isn't a recovery for dual sim users yet
we will just have to wait, if you are scared of anything losing on your phone, once it is rooted, use titanium backup to backup everything first

Thanks, I have all synced on google. Can wipe the device, no problem.
By the way how is your device? How long are you using it? Does it overheat? Mine become amazingly hot when I'm using Skype(specially Video call). Is it ok, or can be some kernel tweaks done to control this?
Best Regards
Ivan

Ok, will do it too
---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------
By the way may be is better to install the newer xposed version: xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64 instead of xposed-v79-sdk21-arm64 ?
Can my original boot.img be backuped with adb or fastboot? If im right it is available to do only after root?

sdk23 means Android 6.0
So xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64 doesn't mean newer than xposed-v79-sdk21-arm64
For our Z3+ currently, it has only Android 5.0.2, so we should use sdk21(Android 5.0) instead

well you dont really have to backup your original one, mainly because if anything goes wrong, you will have to flash the system.sin or the whole tft file again :/
Ok so the first results:
Got a root after flashing boot.img.
Installed all software needed and flashed xposed (putted ticks only on wipe cache/ dalvik cache)
After application optimization message phone rebooted. Got red light blink (3-4 times) and already stuck on a loading screen(blue background and moving lines) for more than 10 minutes.
Done switch off by holding power + volume up.
Phone booted after
Camera was not updated and not working. Downloaded and installed 2.0 apk. Works, but standart features like: "Style portrait, AR mask, Face in picture, Sound photo" not working
In Xposed installer says: Xposed not compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture (arm64-v8a).
Cant run any xposeed modules...

Well I think you must have done something wrong here, maybe yoy should start all over again, what country firmware are you using? I am using the hk version 266, maybe download the hk ftf file and flash it with flashtool first and start again, also it should work on the xposed as well because I have loop the steps like 10 times in my phone, and everytime xposed is installed on my device, maybe give it a try again, if there is any problem again fell free to ask

Thanks. I'm using United Kingdom firmware. Will try installing xposed with FlashFire again on the current firmware, but will select in addition to wipe System data and 3rd party apps... Because last time I selected only to wipe Dalvik + cache partition.
If no success this time then will try other firmware with flashtool.
Will reply later with the results

After a loong boot (about 15 min) the wizzard is oppened(language, account, wifi...) I was unable to enable wifi. All apps erased. Eventually I done a factory reset. Now waiting while it finishes. Lets hope WIFI will work again.
Seems cleaning system apps data was not a good idea. I lost my wifi function... Tried uninstall and then install xposed. Same effect-> not supported.
So may be it worth a try to install the new 272 firmware? Will it help recover the wifi? Can I flash firmware straight away from the phone external storage?
