Xposed Installer

[jamos316]

have just installed xposed. Have installed the framework then rebooted my phone. After reboot when I go to modules from the xposed menu it shows a red message at the top telling me that 'the latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot?'.
What am I doing wrong, this method has worked for me in the past.

You may have the most recent installer but maybe an out of date framework. Just click the red text, it will auto update.

i have just clicked the red message. clicked install & rebooted.
still getting the red message when i go to modules

 

[vosg]

I'm out of ideas. Maybe a new install of the xposed installer might help...

Are you installing the framework into /system? If so, is it at ro or rw? Needs to be rw, read-write.

[jamos316]

yes im rooted

Are you installing the framework into /system? If so, is it at ro or rw? Needs to be rw, read-write.

And you checked this?

have now got a bigger problem...i uninstalled my current version of xposed installer & installed an older version found on 4shared. I went to install framework then rebooted. the phone now stays on the OS startup screen (Lewa boot animation).
I need a way to revert, and no i didn't make a backup.
can i install the same rom over the top without wiping?

Yes, you should be able to dirty flash the same ROM.

Dirty flash (install the rom without wiping) and don't use 4shared :thumbup:

Always make a backup before doing anything to /system :beer:

 

[jamos316]

how do you dirty flash?

 

[electricpete]

I wouldn't flash any rom yet. There is an xposed disabler zip file...flash that to disable xposed

where is this located

Xposed - General info, versions & changelog - xda-developers

In case you get into a boot loop:
First, try using the safemode by pressing any hardware key repeatedly. You can find a short explanation how it works here.
If that doesn't work, you can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).

The file may already be on your phone. You can also download it in that post if you are an xda forum member. If not, you can use the attachment here.

i have found the 'Xposed-Disabler-CWM' zip file.
How can you flash this zip file?

If it helps the recovery system I have is 'Carliv Touch Recovery v2.2 - MTK CWM-based v6.0.4.4'.

ok i have been doing a bit of research & the sites ive been looking at instruct me to boot into safe mode by power on then immediately hold both volume up & down keys until menu loads. a basic menu loads. unfortunately as my phone is chinese the menu that loads is chinese & can not work out what menu i should go into to flash the zip file.
is there any hope :S

:S well i have explored the safe boot menu with selecting a few options. i selected one with MCC in the title, the phone immediately rebooted & it successfully booted up but i lost all data oh well at least i have a working phone again
