Ok, so I have to unistall Xposed...

I rooted the device with Towelroot, so there isn't particular problems with the system? Or towelroot makes something different to system files unlike root?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its fine
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giolte_:
Ok, thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Although why OTA anyway? If you're rooted with a custom recovery, you can just flash a pre-rooted L zip which will be available before the OTA Anyway

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Haha exactly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giolte_:
I have not my PC since last month, and probably I will have it in the first half of December, however I have not a custom recovery, only root with towelroot because, like I said, I have no PC
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
So use flashify to install twrp recovery and then you will have a way to flash. Doing any phone/tablet modding is highly dangerous if you don't have a computer available to you in case something messes up...

I just grab the files from google and flash my phone clean with fastboot. I'll Add the recovery and root a few days later (if available). I like my phone the way it is and don't like to change just for OTA.

Am I correct in assuming that xposed does not work under lollipop because of art?

Can lollipop work using dalvik?

Correct. And no.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
(A man of few words. ? )

That's a problem for me and might make me not accept the upgrade. I really like xposed and xgravity and my nexus 5 is fast enough.

I'm sure it won't be long til xposed will be updated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
I hope you're right but it may not be an easy task because of the different ways dalvik and art handle things.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Then we'll need to rely on custom roms for customizing.. Until xposed does work.

The method never worked for me, I found out if your computer does not recognize your phone via USB before you attempt this method it will never work, my phone would not come up at all when connected to my USB port.

How did you brick your phone? I know it sounds weird but I'm looking to really mess up the bootloader on mine without simply triggering kies and having it lock up my phone. I figure if I can brick the phone then use an insecure debrick image I may be able to flash an unlocked bootloader to it without having to use JTAG and everything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Same as the galaxy s3 LTE variants, and so long as this works then there is hope to unlock the bootloader. I'm so excited this works here! :fingers-crossed::good:

How did you brick your phone? Tell me the steps, please. I can't fr***ing figure out how to brick it. :p
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantumqweef:
i think you can easily brick it by attempting to flash custom kernel with odin. However, do you fully understand what a hard brick will do? Like there is no recovery menu to flash or wipe and no download boot to manually flash with oden either.. be carefull
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
I'm basically totally relying on the sdcard recovery image, as hopefully if it's loading from an external device for firmware, nothing else from the phone is loading alongside it other than maybe the efuse state of knox (already tripped I think) and the available bands...meaning I could take, for instance, a Verizon debrick image but put in sprint sbl1 and aboot files.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantumqweef:
jus curious.. how do you plan on booting from an external (or internal) anything? when I bricked mine the computer (example of an external device) couldn't recognize anything was there at all
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
this method of booting from an sdcard as a secondary device is what I'm hoping to use. If it fails to successfully load firmware from eMMC it does it from an sdcard if one is available that has the required files
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blair.sadewitz:
If you can get into recovery, you can get into download mode. I have an unbrick image somewhere, I'll find it if you still want it.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

The unbrick image will work even if you have no bootloader. In the event that it can't figure out what to do, the phone will attempt to bootstrap itself to download mode from the sdcard. I've done it quite a few times, lol. I'm not sure how you would truly hard brick this phone, because you can always get to download mode using this method.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hariiiii:
Whichever SD card you are using, you need to flash the .img file to it using win32diskimager. Are you doing that? If so then once the SD card is ready, remove the battery, plug in the phone, insert the SD card, and then finally insert the battery. The phone should boot on its own (not into download mode unless you hold down keys). Are you using the unbrick.img that matches the firmware currently on your phone? The unbrick.img that I have only works with OK3 firmware (although it is possible that it may also work with OE1 or OG5).

Hardbricked!

My G900V got hardbricked too, sadly. I don't know what firmware it was running, I just know it was on 6.0.1 . Tried to do a restore from the Verizon Software Assistant, and I got an aboot error and it wouldn't turn on after that. What are my options? Would I have to get debrick images for all 10 releases of 6.0.1 and try to have them boot one by one from microSD? Interestingly, I noticed something when flashing one of the debrick images and running it on the device. When the SD card is not inserted, there is a constant whining noise (faint) coming from the back. I assume that's normal. However, when I put the SD in, the whine sound comes in short pulses. I just think that's a little odd. I don't think there's anything wrong with it hardware-wise, since it worked fine before.

Any thoughts?

The devices use the same registry settings in WM5, so this looks like it's portable.
