Long time lurker... here goes my first post, be gentle!
I bought my s5 and rooted it a long time ago but I haven't kept up it up to date. I'm still on 4.4.2 and I think it is finally time to try 5.0
Since I'm so out of date, I want to make sure I update my phone without bricking it or losing xposed framework.
My current device's system info:
Andriod Version: 4.4.2
Build: ANCG
Kernal: 3.4.0-964333
Bootloader: G900VVRU1ANCG
Rooted
Stock ROM
Safestrap NOT installed
Xposed framework installed with these modules:
Greenify
Xprivacy
Wanam Xposed
Downloads 2SD
With such an out of date phone, is it safe to just follow the instructions in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784
Are there any known issues on Lollipop with xposed or any of the modules I use?
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
Thanks!

If you decide to go to lollipop any thing over bod5 cannot be rooted there are some decent roms that are flashable
roms via safestrap.

But why is rooted bod5 lollipop bad? Besides not being able to upgrade to newer versions of lollipop, did you have a bad experience with bod5?
I'm ok with not being able to upgrade further. I stayed with 4.4.2 for a long time, I have no problem staying on bod5 for awhile.. Unless there are other good reasons why lollipop Itself is not worth upgrading to.

Bog5 is the latest now I guess it was to fix stage fright but you could choose the one to your liking not much development for bod5 anymore.

You can install rooted OG5 roms. I'm running a stock deodexed OG5 build (rooted) and it's pretty smooth.

If you want xposed on OG5, no. It needs a deodexed rom and that OG5 is odexed. You can use this one if you want xposed on OG5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-t3178953
Are there any known issues on Lollipop with xposed or any of the modules I use?
Xposed runs but it needs a special version (just do a google search for samsung xposed lollipop). Whenever I run greenify on xposed it causes bootloops for me, but I think it might work fine for some people. Wanam xposed has a special version for lollipop so make sure to switch to that.
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I don't think you need it, but when you install check to see if it works. You can always downgrade.
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
It worked for me when I ran it a few months ago, but if the reports are mixed take my success with a grain of salt.

Thank you for actually answering my questions!!
I will attempt OG5 using a deodexed version so I can install the samsung lollipop xposed. Hope I don't screw it up :-/ I've rooted and played around with a few phones before with no problems, but the last time I messed with a phone was over a year ago so I'm pretty rusty.
cheers!
edit: To use the deodexed version of OG5, did you use the muniz_ri method with FireFlash and just replace the muniz_ri ROM with the deodexed ROM? Or did you follow the instructions in this thread? Or something completly different?
Btw I'm still on 4.4.2 NCG but I have installed SS
Since you are at NCG already I think you can start with rooted odex stock. You should flash muniz_ri rooted odex stock with flashfire, it ll full wipe for default also. After that you 100% can flash any G900V lollipop rom you want with flashfire or safestrap, I choosed FF for myself. I am not sure, maybe you can flash deodex right away, but after some lurked and questions I personally did as described in first sentence. Don't forget to do backup, samsung for example. I was in your position not so much time ago.
i second that lollipop is terrible. go to 4.4.4 and stay. look in page 2 or 3 of android development for ricks rom and flash that, its the best kitkat rom and it just work way better than 5.0
Hello,
I am looking to root and install Xposed on my S7E but was wondering what the situation with receiving updates will be.
I was contemplating using FlashFire and CF-Auto-Root but given that I'll be also installing Xposed, then that means FlashFire won't be able to take care of receiving OTA updates.
So if I root, flash TWRP and install Xposed, what would the steps be to update my device when these are released?
Also, what (should) happen/happens to dm-verity and forced encryption. As far as I understand these need to be disabled for TWRP to work?
Thanks

If you decide to root the only way to do "OTA updates" is flashing it manually.
I don't think there is any other alternative. I might be wrong though!
There's a thread about exactly this....

Ah missed that! Great. So it seems you can flash the firmware using FlashFire and not lose XPOSED, etc. etc. I was wondering though, how does (if it does) FlashFire work with dm-verity and encryption? Is it only a TWRP requirement to have these disabled?
I believe so. I haven't rooted yet....keep thinking about it, but haven't quite got round to it. If I do, I'll do the CF-Auto for root then Flashfire for Xposed, but as my firmware doesn't appear on Sammobile yet, I'm keeping unrooted. I'm still a little undecided if rooting will affect me in any way, Gear VR region etc etc

Join the club brother! I'm on the same boat.. Going back and forth between rooting or not (Losing Samsung Pay & OTA & Conscious of having a 0x0 KNOX vs Xposed (Snapprefs, GravityBox, XTouchWiz, etc.) & AdAway..
Yeah. With the condensed DPI mode working without root, Adguard doing a really good job, excellent themes, I'm finding it hard to really need to root. The only thing I really miss is a silly thing, the Xposed module for adding the alt symbols on the Swype material theme keyboard.....
Alt symbols for keyboard through xposed is not working, I have just flashed it a nothing appears.
Has anyone made it work?
I was able to root my U.S. Cellular S7 Edge and to my understanding it has a locked boot loader. So I am able to root but not flash custom recovery or rom. Can anyone clarify this? Also because of this, does it mean I can not actually get Xposed on my phone now?
You can install Xposed, look for instructions in your model's forums. You can't get custom rooms in a normal way but a custom rooms has been made by replacing system files.
Im not sure if the latest version of xposed would work (86 build), older versions didnt work when i tried.

It does just use wanam's builds, found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=37508.
So as the thread states, I'm looking to bypass the root check for Pokemon go. We all know Pokemon go now uses safetynet to check for rooted configurations. Where my issue lies, is I'm using CM13 a custom ROM on my device. It has root, as well as Xposed Framework. I want to install Magisk but I'm not fully sure if it is compatible with my device at its current settings. Any help guys? (I do apologize if I'm in the wrong section. I'm new here)

it should work as the systemless root is device transparent you will need to do systemless xposed too
Have you had any luck trying to get magisk on CM13? I have not been successful with jasmine yet.

Actually, I have. I broke because I wanted to play Pokemon go. It actually does work, you just have to fully unroot, delete xposed, check xbin and bin in /system with es file explorer, reboot to be sure your phone isn't brick. If that works, follow the instructions on the magisk thread I did exactly in that order and its pretty good. But if you play Pokemon go, you'll have to turn off xposed when you install it as safety net detects it.
Hello. I am running Alliance ROM, with an OH4 build and an OD5 bootloader. My phone has been rooted forever, and I can't remember which root method I used, but I know that I can ODIN an NI2 kernel and get to Safestrap. I've never gotten Xposed to work properly.
There are a lot of threads about using Magisk, but everything talks about it needing some sort of "Systemless root". I'm not sure what that means. Is that some newfangled root method that everyone is using now? I have SuperSU pro 2.78. How do I know if it's Systemless?
Can anyone decipher the Magisk thread and tell me if it will work with this phone? Or are there any other methods that will work?

i dont know if it will work with pokemon go or not but here is a way to hide root you would have to downgrade to super su 2.77 or earlier though to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-t3450396
Magisk works if you have an unlocked bootloader. I am using it on my s5 with Pokémon. It's fairly straightforward with twrp to setup. I am on resurrection remix.

Can you tell us in some detail how you installed it and what version your using of Magisk. I've not been as lucky with my installs and yes I can unlock my bootloader

Sorry for the delay. It looks like Magisk no longer works as google updated safetynet. If I find something that works I will let you know. I am probably done with the game though.

I updated to V7 and no luck. Here is the link to instructions.

Maybe I am not erasing all the su files, but even with magisk installed, regardless of being on a stock rom or a custom rom, i can't get it to work.
I assumed that magisk working means that magisk is working properly and...should, in theory, allow me to play pokemon go.
I guess I'll just have to hope they repeal it, mostly because iphone has so many hacks....not requiring jailbreak.

but not with phh superuser? that's what i've been using since that seems to be what magisk has been pushing.
edit: also, does it work with xposed as well? at least, the systemless exposed.
actually, i don't even know if the zip i have to use for my samsung is systemless, even though it uses the same installer...
Apparently no magisk doesn't work with newest pokemon go update

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268Magisk v.7 +Suhide v0.54 + Xposed confirmed working POGO on my S3 running CM13
My S5 has locked bootloader =(
Magisk requires unlocked bootloader +TWRP
Suhide requires android 6.0+
If you can get TWRP on your S5 you are good to go to play POGO
1.Uninstall xposed and Majisk and Supersu(i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3528363&d=1446472307
2.Reflash whatever rom you are on(if using rooted rom(like cm13) reflash unsu.zip and delete the SU binaries or anything that says "su" from /system/bin & /system/xbin & /data with TWRP file browser)
3.TWRP shell, type
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu
4.Flash SuperSU. only this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
5.Reboot to system once before going back to recovery.
6.Flash Magisk v7, then suhide v.54, then Xposed Systemless). Reboot to system.(do not flash batch)(flash each individually)
7.Install Magisk Manager v2.apk
8.Install Material Design Xposed Installer apk
9. i like the "Snorlax" xposed mod
=)
*also earlier today Magisk v6 + Suhide v.54 +xposed was working fine but i went ahead and updated to new verrsions to hopefully stay ahead of safety net
*also here is oudated thread where i learned this method...my steps slightly different and use updated links
*also some report problem with xposed systemless v86.6 ... redo all steps with v86.2
*also xposed not required for POGO (just ignore all xposed entries in setup for working POGO and root) but who doesnt want xposed =P
What would work for my stock rom on a Samsung E7 Lollipop 5.1.1? I rooted, installed GoGPS in system with Lucky Patcher, unrooted and now the game says my phone is not compatible with Pogo. I can't install Marshmallow cause there is no version of it for my smartphone.
