When I initially installed v73, it took two full episodes of The Big Bang Theory (IOW, almost an hour) for my phone to reboot. I think pulling the battery while FlashFire is working its magic would be incredibly bad.

I assume you had a nice, full charge on your battery before starting?

- Dave
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
It required it when I updated this post on 9/7, when did the new update come out? I haven't received an update since then.

That's not TOO abnormal, it took me over 30 minutes to finish. I also flashed v74 over v73 and it took about 20-25 minutes. Do not do a battery pull, it's nerve-wracking but that's why you need to be very patient with this. Assuming your battery wasn't almost dead of course.
[Verizon LG G4] lazarus2297:
I know this isn't a thread specific to flash fire, but does anyone know if the backup feature works? Like fully works making a backup then restoring said backup?
[Verizon LG G4] Ban-Hammer:
I joined the FlashFire community today and registered to be a beta tester, downloaded the app through Play and had no issues. Takes about 30 minutes to flash.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
I can confirm that upgrading to v75 using this method works fine.
[Verizon LG G4] wyss44:
Got problems getting Xposed on my VS986 "Latest version not active. Did you install framework and reboot?" Followed the process to the t about 11 times and no go. Is this just a case of it ain't gonna work no matter? Flashing with FlashFire Free v0.24, v75-sdk22-arm64.zip and Installer 3.0alpha4.apk. Got any advice?
[Verizon LG G4] coderstory:
Thanks again!
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
After you flashed it in flash fire, did you phone reboot twice about 15-20 minutes apart?
[Verizon LG G4] wyss44:
After FlashFire goes black, about 20 minutes later the "Loading" screen comes up and loads a bunch of files.

Around 10-15 minutes after that a FlashFire screen comes up for maybe a second saying something about installing xposed, mounting stuff, checking environment, wrong platform, please download correct platform (I have a pic that I can't get up on XDA) and then reboots.

That last action is the only reboot.

Is the VS986 an arm platform? arm64?

[IMG="Instal screen"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwuHzgs2a7vkVE5oUkJPYS1Eb2s/view?usp=sharing[/IMG]

I also get the "Updating Apps" screen after reboot of the arm only package. It says I have 203 apps when I only have 40 and other parts are screwy too.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
That's what is supposed to happen, strange. The VS986 uses the arm64 file.
[Verizon LG G4] wyss44:
I went back to stock, rerooted and installed TiBU and nothing else. Run through the steps to get Xposed using v75 arm64 and it installed. I'm thinking since I had a build.prop tweak (DPI=540), that might have caused the problem. I should have just returned it back to stock build.prop. It now says I have 225 apps when indeed I have around 44. But it's active. Yay:good:

Geoff509,

Been a few days and no hiccups at all. Placed my tweaked build.prop back on and it took just fine. Sayin' a big thanks for the work:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Doesn't work for me on rooted 11A. When launching the flash operation in flash fire, I only get a black screen. I have to manually reboot the phone, and when it boots up again looks like nothing happened. Anybody else found a solution for this problem?
[Verizon LG G4] RenaKunisaki:
I think it's normal, when you use FlashFire on the G4, the screen goes blank for a long time (maybe up to 45 minutes), then some messages appear, then more long blank screen, then it will restart itself. I don't know why it takes so long, but just leave it plugged in and go to dinner, it should be fine.
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
Not sure why it takes so long but you're supposed to make sure your battery is 100% charged and the USB is unplugged.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
That's normal. After you hit flash it can take 20+ minutes to complete the first step, then another 20 for thr second step. Do not manually reboot it during this process.
[Verizon LG G4] fridaynext:
I'm having the same problem. Reboots and does its thing, and then when I go into the Xposed installer, it says that I don't have the most current version installed. I'm rooted, and the only tweak I've made is the high bitrate 4K camera mod.
[Verizon LG G4] wyss44:
Try and go back to the original system files, original camera file, and see if that works. I had only a build.prop tweak. I suspected that might have prevented the install. I went back to stock file and it took. And then re-tweaked.
[Verizon LG G4] fridaynext:
Just did that, and it still won't take. I'm not sure what you mean by "original system files". The only system file I altered was the one necessary for rooting (system.img), and Flashfire won't work without root, so I don't know how to go back to stock and make it work.

I only saw the second screen very briefly when it came up, but I saw something like "download the right version for your device". I have xposed-v75-sdk21-arm64.zip ---

oh, should be sdk22, per OP. My bad. Will go download the correct file and try again.

Edit: There we go. Installed and working now. Just needed to type out the mistake I was making!
[Verizon LG G4] wyss44:
Yeah sorry, I meant the camera file back to stock. I saw the same second screen as well and was confused since I had the right file. The arm64 is the correct zip file. Ever thought of going back to stock and starting from scratch?
[Verizon LG G4] fridaynext:
Don't need to, b/c it works now. I only got the phone a couple days ago anyway (for free, from the SlickDeals thread), so I haven't done much to it at all, aside from the camera tweak (which I reverted to stock, and will now revert to 1080p60fps and UHD high-bitrate).

Only unfortunate thing is that 'xad' won't install. I can barely read websites on this phone because the ads cover the entire browser, but hopefully I'll find a suitable replacement for XAD soon.
[Verizon LG G4] wyss44:
Enjoy. I'm installing the 1080p 60fps files that you just keyed me into now.
[Verizon LG G4] fridaynext:
I've done a couple tests with that 60fps 1080p vs the higher bitrate 4k, and the high bitrate 4k looks WAY better than the 1080p60, in my opinion. You should take a couple video tests to see which one you like better, but I've downloaded Cinema4k from the Play Store so I can get high-bitrate 4k as well as no OIS (the OIS on this camera makes videos look pretty bad).
[Verizon LG G4] wyss44:
Will do. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] codd:
Xposed on my VS986 is absolutely destroying my battery life. Even with no modules enabled my battery discharges at an insanely fast rate. Uninstalling xposed completely fixes the problem. Does anyone have an idea why, or much preferably, a fix or workaround?
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Xposed does impact the battery, but I wouldn't say it destroyed mine, just a slight hit.
[Verizon LG G4] coolkatz321:
If I do this with the link provided, it gives me xposed version 78. Am I still okay to flash?
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Yes, worked for me. Just make sure you get the right sdk version (22).
[Verizon LG G4] djnikkofb:
yes backup works, though have not tried a restore...
[Verizon LG G4] eigen:
V78 won't install for me. I'm on v75
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
Make sure you use sdk22 which is the android 5.1 version and not sdk21 = android 5.0 or sdk23 = android 6.0. I'm using v78-sdk22 which was upgraded from v75-sdk22.
[Verizon LG G4] eigen:
Yeah I used the v78-22-arm64. Odd why it doesn't work for me.
[Verizon LG G4] ProInvestor:
Thanks!

I installed v78 sdk22 arm64, and it did the whole blacking out process in a matter of seconds. but, the app loading took about ten min.

Thanks :)
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Just want to confirm sdk23 will not work with 13B and sdk22 does work. :)
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
sdk23 (Android 6.0) will never work for 13B which is still sdk22 (Android 5.1).

Stuck on Verizon screen

So, I'm in a bit of trouble here. I installed the most recent framework and the apk along with a few modules including gravitybox, a theme module and one more I can't recall. They all worked fine but gravitybox failed to work. I ignored it and used my phone for a few days. Then today I thought I'd try to see if restarting my phone would get gravitybox to work and now I'm stuck on the Verizon loading screen. Its not frozen, as the animation is going, but it's been on this screen for about 20 minutes. Any advice?
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
I just updated to 13B should I flash 75 or 78 I see that a couple of users are having issues flashing 78.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Where did you see this ? 78/22 working for me with 13B.

---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------

Pull the battery out for 30 secs and try rebooting.

On phones with a custom recovery, one would flash the Xposed uninstaller. Not sure what we do for VS986.

You could flash back to s clean rooted image. Normally, you should not lose any data doing that.
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
My bad only eigen said it's not working for him. I'll give it a try later on thanks

Using 78 here with no problem. Maybe it's already been mentioned but G4 tweaks box from the main LG G 4 forum works great on our device so no need to mess with gravity box. Has circle battery mod and a ton of other tweaks. Using that with greenify and YouTube as blocker and havnt had a single problem

78 works fine, make sure you get sdk22 as lots of people had problems because they didn't understand the sdk #'s as 21 = Android 5.0, 22 = Android 5.1 and 23 = Android 6.0, they were all trying to flash 23...

Does anyone know if installing Xposed on the G4 will kill the hotspot feature? I did this on my G2 and once installed I could no longer use hotspot, but as soon as I uninstalled Xposed it came back no problem.

I'm able to use both on my g4 (VS986).

Look around XDA for a G4 HotspotProvision.apk and try that. It seemed to help me out.

Thanks, but I was replying to someone about being able to use both mobile hotspot and Xposed at the same time. I'm still on unlimited data and ever since 10b, have been rooted and running a modified hotspotprovision.apk to enable my hotspot :D

Hey all,

Quick question...

Can someone please confirm if after installing xposed on your Verizon G4, are you still able to get into Download Mode ( that's when you Power off your device, then When the device is powered off, hold volume up and insert a USB cable connected to your PC)

When I installed xposed previously on one of my G4, I totally lost the ability to get into Download mode :( :crying: )

Thanks for the guide, I used this some time ago to install xposed with no problems. The version I installed was a couple iterations ago and had to uninstall due to the battery drain, even without modules. Didn't see too many comments relating, so I just wanted to see if anyone could tell me if it's gotten better on verizon through the most recent v79?
[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
I have had no issues after v74. I did v79 and still no issues. My battery lasts fantasically, and I don't even use Greenify.

I DID have issues with (if I remember correctly) v71? It seemed to wipe my battery out. I even factory reset the phone, did everything again, and had no apps installed, and it STILL wiped my battery out. After v74, I think you're OK.

Be sure to pick the right 'sdk' number when flashing. sdk22 = android 5.1 (which vzw 11a is -- which I'm still on)

How can I uninstall this safely? Can I just uninstall this via the XPosed application?
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Use FlashFire on the uninstaller zip to uninstall the Xposed framework and use your application manager to uninstall the Xposed app.
[Verizon LG G4] fishyjoeschmo:
I know this is a little off topic but since everyone is using flashfire for xposed, can this flash the lolliviper zip? Has anyone done it?
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
Actually, the latest FlashFire version 0.31 does work provided you use the following settings in FlashFire:

- uncheck automount

- uncheck mount system read/write

The mount system read/write did not exist in 0.24 and is the reason people are having trouble flashing Xposed due to the setting being checked by default.

The difference between 0.24 and 0.31 is that flashing is like night and day. In 0.24, it took ages but in 0.31, it took 2 minutes total and this is with Xposed v81 which I just flashed on my LG G4 VS986 Verizon Wireless running 13b Lollipop 5.1.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Awesome, glad to know the newest version of FlashFire is woking when trying to install Xposed.

When I posted recommending to use Flashfire v24, it was two months ago when v26 and v27 were not working with latest Xposed. Anyways, thanks for the heads up. I'll probably install the latest version of Xposed in the next couple days and hopefully it will be fast and work with the newest version of flashfire :)

I'm trying to install this on the VS986 with FF 0.33. Unticked both and went through the whole command lines and saying it's flashing and then rebooting into the verizon boot animation. Without thinking, I doubled tap to wake and then quickly realized what I had done and pressed power button. Now it's been hanging there for 25+ mins. Should I just hard reset and hope to restore using LGUP since everything besides /system shouldn't be touched?

Edit: Did exactly that, normal flash restored. Just need to restore system apps.

Installed the v85 Xposed framework and Xposed app and various moduled on a rooted VS98613B (Lollipop) using latest FlashFire app from Play Store with success. :)
[Verizon LG G4] geodescent:
Just reporting that Flashfire .50 would not install "xposed-v85-sdk22-arm64.zip," possibly because I had that "mount system read/write" box checked (it is by default and I didn't check whether the guide mentioned it). However, Flashfire .50 successfully installed "xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip."

Edit: It would appear to install successful but the whole process would take 2-3 minutes tops. xposed .79 was similarly fast but after that, Android did need to optimize ALL my apps, unlike before.

I'm not in a hurry to try moving over to xposed v85 unless my battery takes a huge hit. Hope this is helpful to someone

Just flashed Xposed v86 (xposed-v86-sdk22-arm64) using FlashFire version 0.31 by resetting the date back to May 10, 2016 (might work on a later date but didn't try)

on a Verizon Wireless VS986 LG G4 running Android Lollipop v5.1 build 13b.

Used the following settings in FlashFire:

- uncheck automount

- uncheck mount system read/write

The mount system read/write option did not exist in 0.24 and only in later versions. It took ages in 0.24 but with 0.31, it took 2 minutes total.
[Verizon LG G4] Franzferdinan51:
How did you get 0.31 to even start tried multiple apks and non will start 13b rooted vs986

Edit: got v86 installed with FF 0.51 following the instructions mixed with the quoted post
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
As I said before, you have to manually set the date in settings to something like May 10, 2016 which works. Not sure the latest date one can set as all Flashfire versions are Beta which has a specific date it expires so as long as the date is on or before that date, it will start fine. Glad to hear that 0.51 works, did it flash and rebooted into Android pretty fast?
[Verizon LG G4] micmou:
So I tried to install the Framework with flashfire I believe it was .51 I am not sure I made sure to uncheck both the things it was mentioned to uncheck in the forums. Then I proceeded to flash my VZW LG G4 on 13B with Pure LG Experience installed it went insanely fast then rebooted to bugdroid the little guy with the red exclamation mark and sits there for threeish minutes then reboots and goes right back to bugdroid only thing that stops it is pulling the battery out. I let it set there for like an hour doing that without touching it and nothing happened so I pulled the battery.

FlashFire .52 installs v86-skd22-arm64 quickly

Reporting my results.

Software version VS98613B, FlashFire .52, xposed-v86-skd22-arm64.zip, and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk.

In FlashFire, I unchecked both Auto-mount and Mount /system read/write. Battery is at 100%. Below is a timeline of events:

12:59:00 press Flash within FlashFire (then tapped OK on dialog box) > phone reboots

12:59:40 commands quickly scroll across screen

1:00:00 FlashFire screen appears

1:00:15 phone goes dark

1:00:20 phone boots

1:01:46 optimizing 268 apps begins (~1/3 through it, the screen shifted to full brightness and the phone started getting really warm)

1:11:31 optimization complete

1:11:40 lock screen

Battery was at 87%. Xposed successfully installed and I used XDA Labs to install a few modules.
[Verizon LG G4] louis cyfer:
is it a problem to have the phone plugged into charging while installing xposed with flashfire?

i am doing a second phone, the first one completed in about 2 minutes, this one has been sitting dark for a long time.

one more question. one phone is on 79, can i just flash 86 on top of it, or do i have to uninstall xposed first.

learned 2 things. having the phone plugged in is a problem, won't do anything, need to pull the battery and start over.

flashing 86 on top of 79 gave me a black screen. had to flash the rooted img again then uninstall the installer package and rerun flashfire with the 86. took almost a minute to complete. it is very fast. to optimize the apps took another 5 minutes. less than 7 minutes total. cost 7% battery life.

It's not a problem, in fact you probably should have it plugged in, since who knows what might happen if it dies. Blank screen for several minutes is normal.

I had Xposed Framework v80 and XposedInstaller_3.0 _alpha4.apk I then noticed there was a new XposedInstaller_3.1.apk

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

I downloaded and installed the new Installer, then used it to update the framework using the INSTALL/UPDATE option on the Framework tab to v86. That seemed to be a bad idea in my case, because the phone would not boot up all the way. I never got the option to enter my security screenlock PIN.

Fortunately, I was able to get the phone to adb prompt via USB/PC. I was able to disable the Xposed Framework v86 using adb to create the file named "disabled" in /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf .

Rebooted the phone, downloaded and install the latest Xposed Framework uninstaller, rebooted, and used FlashFire again to install v86. For the last actions, I had also decided to update to the latest FlashFire v0.53 - both "Auto-mount" and "Mount/system read/write" were unchecked when I used it.

So Xposed Framework v86 and XposedInstaller_3.1.apk both seem to be fine on my VS986 running 13B rooted for the moment :) . Unless someone here says it works, I would avoid using the new Xposed installer to INSTALL/UPDATE the framework on a VS986 like I did, since it hung up my phone. :) The new installer also has a UNINSTALL option for the framework, but I don't know if it work and not going to try it :) .

Hope this helps someone, as it sucked up a lot of my time going through this. :)

UPDATE: Now there is a new XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk (new between last night and today). I am currently using it on my VS986.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
