Xposed Framework installation bricked Mediapad M3

hello everybody,
I bought the Huawei Mediapad M3, I unlock it’s boot loader and installing a new custom Recovery (Greatslon mod) and then flash SU, so the tablet has been correctly routed and everything worked perfectly.
Hounever I think: if you routed your device without install Xposed Framework , you don’t have many many important functions.
Later, I wanted to also install Xposed Framework, I followed the instructions for Marshmallow 6.0 provided by rovo89
but unfortunately when I reboot my M3 it going boot loops, I restored the system with the prior backup
and tried again with apk Xposed , but still the same boot loops, maybe there is something wrong in that Xposed.
Is there anyone who has found a solution to install Xposed Framerwork on Mediapad M3.

when i used marshmallow i used magisk v12 to root and then used systemless xposed v87 from there. worked for me. v87.1 disabled my fingerprint reader

I think it is not important how one rooted marshmallow if after everything works fine, but also i used
xposed v87 from there, and the result is boot loops, maybe it work well on other devices while on huawei mediapad m3 is not good

what I am trying to say is use the systemless xposed and it will work.

thanks for your help, i will first try installing the Magisk interface, in order to install systemless Xposed with Magisk, and then i'll write the result

i flash Magisk , reboot the device, then i installed MagicManager.apk so i use MagicManager.apk to download and install automatically the right version of systemless Xposed framework, but when the device does the boot loader goes into the boot loop, i do not know what to do yet to run the xposed framework on my mediapad m3, i went crazy i never had trouble with various smartphones, i never had a tablet, damn the day i bought it, now i reset it to factory, and then i would like to make a final test before breaking it, do you can kindly list the various steps in the details you've been following, thank you in advance

well I am not sure then why your getting boot loops. so you have installedmagiskv12-then,magisk,manager and then go to module and flash the downloaded v87 framework there
link for v87 systemless frameworkhere
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268.
then after that install this it should be working but dont update to v87.1 or your fingerprint sensor might play up
link for the xposed apk
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758

thanks trd_jzx100,
at this time i brought my tablet back to the factory, before starting a new rooting procedure + installing xposed i would still have two questions:
1) after you made the unlock, which TWRP you installed to flash magisk?
2) i see from the link you posted that the xposed file you used is xposed-v87.0-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip instead i used xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip maybe that was also a problem
later if all goes well, i will write the synthesis of the entire step-by-step procedure for the benefit of all mediapad m3 owners who want to do the same thing with no problems

finally xposed works, i used the system less rooting and then installed xposed v87 by topjohnwu,
now i have a issue with the xprivacy module but this is another story

Did you re-install when you got Nougat??? If so, can you help me out?

[Q] XT1762 can not install xposed

Hello,
I am really confused about whatever Moto E4 supports Xposed Framework after all.
I have Mediatek variant. XT1762 (Dual Sim one).
I've successfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP recovery, along with dmverify and rooted the phone (by Magisk). I can edit system partition and the phone boots perfectly.
about systemless xposed:
when I try to install a Magisk module, whenever in recovery or application mode, I get /data/magisk_merge.img mount failed error. I uninstalled Magisk 14.0 complately and then tested with Magisk 14.3. But no luck. I gave up installing Magisk modules because I think the stock kernel have some problems with loop module (altought, I am not sure about that).
_______________
Then, I tried to flash them: API 25 / ARM
(offical one) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
(unoffical, seems for Moto E4) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/info-xposed-framework-nougat-t3687263
both give bootloop and USB debugging is getting turned off everytime I reboot the phone therefore I do not have any valueable / debug information. The only way me to get the phone booted again is to flash the uninstaller from the recovery!

How do you guys install this XPosed framework on this phone? I am so confused!

The only xposed that worked for me was the official but NOT SYSTEMLESS .zip . I flashed it via recovery . I was using magisk 14.3 . I got the same error in magisk with systemless version . If you get a bootloop try going back to recovery and flashing magisk 14.3 ..reboot to recovery ...flash xposed ..reboot to RECOVERY ..flash no dm-verity ...clear cache & dalvik ..reboot RECOVERY ...reboot system ......
In nougat xposed maaany xposed modules has bugs so just flash a custom rom bro
the modified xposed is not really necessary as the normal version of xposed works too.

Before doing this install xposed installar apk BUT THE LATEST ..give it root access in magisk ..go to settings ..disable verify apps via USB ..enable install from unknown sources ...enable USB debug ...all of this in developers settings
Then boot to recovery and do the above and see what happens ..I don't understand how or why your USB debug is being turned off on reboot because it should survive boot and stay in USB debug mode
If you have substratum installed remove it before doing xposed
Oh yes make sure you are using SDK 25 XPOSED ARM none of the others .

Thanks for verification! thought I were late for the additional one, I uninstalled everything and recovered from boot.img backup, installed no dm verify. Booted into the system. Installed xposed installer, rebooted into recovery and flashed xposed, and I am waiting for the result. (no Magisk installed for this time)
but I don't think it is going to work cuz I have tried all of these combinations before :'(
what was your variant? Qualcomm or Mediatek?

Hello,
I have a Moto E4 XT1762 with the ROM STOCK MOTOROLA_E_NMA26.42-75_ROW (France) and two Xposed module, one: xposed-v89-sdk25-arm64.zip and a: xposed-v89-sdk25-arm.zip much lighter. Alas I remain stuck on the home screen very long at least 1/2 hour before the smarpthone starts. Once in Xposed, I have a message in yellow that tells me that Xposed does not work and you have to go see in the log, but the log is empty.
I have these two files + the uninstall file available if it interests someone. These files come from the site: https://repo.xposed.info/
If anyone can help me make Xposed work, it would be nice. Thank you

Just install the systemless module from inside magisk + systemless xposed apk from link inside module explanation imside magisk & reboot
Or
REMOVE MAGISK & install custom rom and use
"SYSTEM" Supersu version
____in both cases you should be formatting data to EXT4 first
__DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT VERSION OF XPOSED ..your device is NOT 64bit
__download ARM ...
But honestly you could have figured this out if you just read 20% of what is in the moto e4 mtk xt1762 forum and posts

There is one thing I do not understand, I thought the Moto E4 (MT6737) was 64 bits according to a technical sheet that I read ?

Nope. It's chip is capable of 64 bit. But it has no 64 bit software whatsoever.

OK but then for Xposed, you have to take it in ARM64 or not?

No. Arm. It has no arm 64 software at all. No drivers, blobs, nothing. Do not consider arm 64 at all for anything on this device.

OK thank you

Xposed V89 SDK 25

I am using stock global miui9.0 rom. Is this xposed module compatible with this rom.

Is it possible to install GravityBox in Mi A1 using Magisk only?

Hi guys, I need some assistance. I only want to install GravityBox in my Mi A1 so that I can enable double tap gesture controls and other GravityBox features.
Now the problem is. Is it possible to install GravityBox using Magisk only, or you will still require Xposed Framework?
I understand that installing Xposed Framework will prevent you from having OTA updates and it will trigger SafetyNet.
So, is there a way to install GravityBox in the most least invasive method?
Thank you in advance for any replies.

Gravitybox is a Xposed Module, so it needs Xposed Framework.
There is a Magisk module that activates Xposed Framework, thus, allows us to install and use any Xposed Module.
All becomes "dead" if we simply uninstall Magisk, so I guess there's no issue regarding OTA's since Magisk installs everything, systemlessly.
That's my current config, by the way...
Cheers!

If you have xposed and only gravitybox enabled i think that the test of safetynet in magisk passes(ctsprofile......). Some other modules mess with safetynet.(not 100 sure).you need to check modules one by one and check also the settings of fxposed (resource hooks) and settings of magisk (magisk hide).if you install the modules one by one and recheck safetynet you will have no issue. As far as the ota updates my opinion is to wait 2-3 weeks after the ota arrival and not be early adopters lol.

Thanks guys for the reply. So just to summarize, these are the steps that needs to be done:
1. Install Magisk only.
2. Once Magisk is installed, look for the Xposed framework module (SDK 26?) from Magisk and install it.
3. Once Xposed has been installed, look for GravityBox and activate/install it.
Is there an easy way to roll-back to original state? (i.e. unroot and bring back stock recovery and stock settings)
Thanks guys!

Before messing with modules make a backup in twrp first . To go stock it is easy hard reset and then lock bootloaderif you want. in case of bootloop or blackscreen because of fxposed modules you can try several solutions before you hardreset.(deactivate xposed or delete modules in twrp) One module is "dangerous " because of black screen . Dont know if they fixed it.

Also I said sdk 26 because I assumed that you are on oreo if I'm wronig Google search your Android version and find with one you must install

Hi guys, quick question, I want to install Magisk, the guide I found lets you install Magisk and lets you retain OTA updates so that is good. Now the guide instructs you to install March and April security patch.
This is the xda link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654
The question is, what if you are already have April 2018 security patch by default on your Mi A1, do you still need to install those two patches according to the guide? If not then how can you install Magisk without re-installing those patch?
Another question is, there are other guide that advises you to install custom recovery such as TWRP to install Magisk, what is the advantage of having a custom recovery over installijg Magisk via fastboot?

Thanks panostheodorakis7! I finally able to install Magisk and then Xposed systemless SDK 26 within Magisk. I then noticed that there is no Xposed appa available, I tried to install the modified APK and then finally saw the Xposed app.
My question is, what is the use of installing the systemless Xposed within Magisk and what is the logic why we need to install the systemless and then install the APK to enable the app?

When you install Xposed framework on Magisk, it doesn't mess with System partition which means it won't break OTA updates. Anything that you flash on Magisk, stays on /Magisk. But anything that you flash on twrp, stays on /System.

Not 100% true, depends on what you're flashing in TWRP. For example Magisk itself, Magisk modules or custom kernels with stock Wifi drivers won't touch System partition at all. Also do NOT allow System modifications in TWRP as it will break OTA immediately.

Thanks Rowdyy Ronnie, ok so installing the modified Xposed APK file doesn't touch the /System? because at first I don't understand the logic why we need to install the Magisk Xposed module and then we still need to install the APK. What is the difference between the Magisk Xposed module and the Xposed APK?
Lastly, I noticed that when I installed Magisk, you need to make a command "fastboot boot patched_boot.img" is this command the one that roots the device? or is it the Magisk Manager APK?

First, You flash Xposed framework to make your device Xposed compatible and then you use the Xposed Installer app to install xposed modules.
Second, Magisk root your device by patching the boot image (Unlike SuperSu which modifies System partition). So when you type fastboot boot patched_boot.img, you are booting the device into patched boot image instead of stock boot image and thus gaining root access. You can also just boot your device into twrp and flash magisk zip file instead of patching the boot image manually. And Magisk manager is just an app to control root access and allow you to flash magisk modules. But it doesn't root your device.

How to install systemless xposed on Oreo

I managed to install Oreo with Magisk.
Now I don't wanna trigger SafetyNet but I need Xposed, so I'm trying to install Xposed systemless but the modded APK (modded to detect systemless xposed) doesn't recognize that the Framework is already installed.
