I believe this is caused by Xposed, here's what happened. I rooted today, went to xposed and it showed that the current version was wrong or wasn't working or something, so I decided to hit uninstall and then reinstall it after boot. Unfortunately, my phone is stuck at the LG logo now. I don't have a custom recovery installed or anything, I read I need to access the disable xposed zip in order to fix this, but I'm not sure how I can since I can't really use my phone. I also want to know if there's any way of doing this without losing my data, I REALLY can't lose all my data over this, didn't backup or anything lately. Thanks!

After i tried
http://download.chainfire.eu/397/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip
on lollipop on vodafone uk, i got this error message on boot, i press ok and after reboot i got no root
Then i install superuser through twrp that i previously had and keep getting this error message on boot.
The thing is i cant get past it, its covering the whole screen no operating system ui just that in a white box and a press ok, which doesnt work until after 2 minutes.
EDIT: its just constantly saying programs has stopped responding in a loop and cant get into android system. How do i fix this, i tried fixing permission in recovery but that didnt work.
So what i can do without losing all my work on my phone.
I hope you made a backup before flashing root files
Boot into recovery, clear CACHES, reboot - see how you get on with that
If you flashed CF Auto Root, there was no need to flash SuperSU, as it comes part of CF Auto root, someone else just did that and ended up in a boot loop, had to wipe the phone and flash a stock ROM
Thats the thing i didnt, i watched a video saying it wouldnt delete your files rooting and decided not to backup.
I was stuck on samsung logo half the time and other times stick with "unfortunately MTP application has stopped." in a big white box blocking me getting into android.
I tried fix permission, clear cache and delvin cache and nothing worked.
I just system wiped and got in but lost all my work.
Fortunately Google backed up most of my photos and videos and contacts but no sms messages.
Now i gotta get all my apps back on my device and get it back to how it was and hopefully i did not mess any important texts.
Note to self: Always backup.
EDIT: i just had gaaps not working and giving server error, after trying out ways to fix that i tried all the normal stop app and clear cache, and then did fix permission in twrp, and after doing "also fix SELinux contexts" it messed me over and got me back to that white box.
so another note to self not to use "Fix SELinux contexts" as that messed up my system after getting 30 apps back installed.
Less than a year ago I was messing around with my Alcatel OneTouch Pop C3 phone, I was trying to customize it so that the status bar would be similar to the one on Android L, where it was gradient transparent and it would go along with the color of the app you're on. My phone was rooted through RootMaster (and it is still rooted) without any problem whatsoever. I could install Superuser, busybox and other apps and even if I used an app that determines whether my phone was rooted or not, says it actually is rooted. Although I had no problem installing Xposed Framework, it worked perfectly, but the problem was that if I installed something from Xposed, my phone would brick out since when you install something from the app you have to reboot your phone and when i reboot my phone was no longer functioning and would stay on a bootloop, so I had to unbrick my phone over and over again. I kept researching on why it happens but I didn't find any solution or anyone who had the same problem that I had. (I don't think I searched it properly though) I did it about three times, bricking it and unbricking it, until i came to the conclusion of uninstalling xposed and and not customizing my phone any longer. Until now, but I'm still afraid that if I install xposed again and installed a mod from it it would brick out again. I have some files on my phone and messages, and contacts saved on my phone that I don't know how to back up without having problems since if I used the default backup app on the phone the file would be too big and wouldn't even restore everything.
What do I do to not end up bricking my phone if I install xposed and installed a mod? what do I do to fix the problem and won't end up unbricking my phone?
Hi.
I've updated to 6.0.1 ,re rooted and spent some time setting up my apps and stuff.
I want to install exposed again but I want to backup before I do in case anything goes wrong.
I'm sure I read on here that there's a problem with restoring TRWP backups?
I've done a search but I cant seem to find anything definitive, could someone be kind enough to explain what the issue is (if any) and how I avoid any problems?
Thanks
Stret
Any Help ?
Twrp restore caused me bootloop, but after flashing a couple of factory images (e.g. vendor, boot, bootloader) i was able to boot back to my phone, but i can't unlock the phone with the passcode i originally set. Cause could be related to the encryption android originally placed on all our 6p's. You could try removing fingerprint and disabling passcode, but i can't guarantee anything. Or you could be like me, screw the backup and just flash xposed and be on your merry way.
There's little chance of going wrong with flashing xposed, as long as you flash the sdk23 for arm64
Good evening xda-forumers, thank you in advance for any help.
I apologize if this question has been made 1000 times before, but I am kind of new at this. As you can see from the title, I am having problems with my cellphone after rooting it. To be more precise, it started working badly after I tried to to access recovery mode (to make a nandroid backup) and clicked "reboot system now". Now, every time I turn it on, it says "[App name] has stopped" for every app I had previously installed on the phone. Trying to turn off the device gives me the usual "Turn off/airplane mode/reset" window that I normally get.
My phone is an Samsung Galaxy i9500 with Kitkat (I think it was 4.4.2). The programs I managed to install before this were "Titanium Backup Pro" and "BusyBox". Both seemed to work fine.
Did I mess my phone going to recovery mode, or did something else happened?
Yours faithfully,

Rooting shouldn't affect the installed apps. I have rooted several s3 and s4 phones without a problem.
I recommend backing up the data, flashing back to stock ROM, install TWRP, flash supersu from TWRP, restore apps and data.
Hello.
My Galaxy S4 was dying so T-Mobile just replaced it with an S5. It came with:
LMY47X.G900TUVS1FOJ4
I clicked on Software updates in About device and it did whatever updates, but the version stayed the same. Then I went to autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu and downloaded the correct file to root. I unzipped the file and ran Odin 3.10.6 that came with it. I was able to root the device no problem.
What seemed like a problem afterward was that I couldn't find SuperSU in the Application list. I know the phone was rooted though because I could launch Titanium Backup to restore all my stuff from the S4. I went to the Play Store to download SuperSU. It kept complaining that I needed a new binary, but it would fail every time to update. I even tried downloading the latest SuperSU zip to install in the recovery mode, but that failed too. I really wasn't too worried about this.
While looking up how to root the S5, I saw some posts where people mentioned their root access stopped after 24 hours. I just experienced this when I launched Titanium Backup to begin uninstalling bloatware. I was informed that I didn't have root access anymore.
I figured I'd try to reflash the auto-root through Odin. According to Odin, everything passed, but looking at the device, it said it's already patched and the restore failed, so it aborted.
Now the device is stuck in an infinite reboot loop. I can access both the download and recovery modes, but that's it.
I'd really really like to not have to do a factory wipe as it was a pain to get everything copied over from the S4.
Can I flash it with something else?
Once I can get back in the device, how do I keep the device rooted? Do I have to flash TWRP or CWM?
The only root program I use is Titanium Backup and would really really like to keep using it to makr regular backups.
Thanks a lot.
Try booting into recovery and wiping the CACHES
If it still won't boot, grab a stock ROM from sammobile .com for your model S5 (G900T by the looks of the ROM name) and flash it with ODIN from download mode
That won't wipe your data or anything you've restored, as long as you don't reset
If it still won't boot, you might have to suck it up and factory reset after flashing stock
Was the TiBu backup you restored, rooted? Maybe restoring the backup restored an old version of SuperSU and broke the CF AR version
Might need to go down the TWRP and SuperSU from TWRP recovery route to get it rooted properly if CF AR isn't woprking 100%, which it doesn't for a fair few people
I tried clearing the cache, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to download the stock ROM without having to create an account on the download site?
The Titanium Backup I restored was rooted. Everything was totally fine, until I went back to TB and it suddenly told me I wasn't rooted anymore.
I did try TWRP after I made the original post. I think messed up the device, but I can get in now. I flashed the latest version and booted into Recovery Mode. I clicked on Fix Permissions and possibly one other thing. It let booted farther before the infinite bootloop. It'd show my lock screen and give me 1-2 seconds before rebooting. If I swiped quickly, I could see the home screen with most of my icons gone. Clicked on Apps shows most of the apps are gone. When I removed the SIM card, I stopped getting the infinite bootloop. Here are the list of important programs I have left:
Contacts (all cleared out), Gallery (all present), Messages (all present), My Files (shows files from previously installed programs that I can no longer access), Phone (works when I put the SIM card back in), Settings
Unfortunately, TB and the Play Store are both gone. I might be able to install stuff using adb or by copying files over. I haven't tried, but it doesn't look good. I tried reflashing the CF ROM. It didn't change anything. I suspect I may be looking at a factory reset at this point. I'm happy to try any other suggestions.
Thank you.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wut? lol, just make one, it's free...
XDA does not spoon feed
I created an account and downloaded the stock ROM. I flashed the device and got most of the programs to appear again though the Play Store was still missing. I decided to cut my losses and just do a factory reset. I rooted again and put everything back in place. Now I'm experiencing the problem where I lost root after a day or so of use. I'll start a new thread.
Thanks for your help.
