It does not work in [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] for CM13 ROM.

When upgrading to a new version is fixed at bootlogo and not continuous load
[Xposed General] objr:
Ok. Sorry, I will look into it as soon as I have more time on?

Listen do you have any logs?

Did you wait enough? Sometime it take more time to boot. Or maybe there is something wrong with latest ROM.

[Xposed General] raul.lopez1958:
Thanks for your quick response.

I installed the zip is 81-Xposed-update-signed-modified.zip

I've seen one that is xposed-addon.d-script-arm.zip

What should I install?

I think it had two at a time and possibly that the problem is not it?

The time was 10 minutes bootlogo doing nothing.

How I can create a log to send?
[Xposed General] objr:
Please sir, consider using mine "81-Xposed-update-signed.zip"

Or just try the copy paste thing in the addon.d folder under system.

U can try making some test to determine either the problem comes with my zip or from ur ROM, like flshing your update without my zip and verifying if it boots.

For the log, I use to grab it from TWRP recovery after I flashed my stuff and before rebooting.

You can find the option under "Advanced" tab the "copy log to SD".

What? Where?

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

I think I don' t have that folder. But I flashed the .zip file. Does that mean that I can now flash a new CM 13 nightly and xposed will still be installed?
[Xposed General] piskor:
Script you are looking for.

In OP, opening post / original post / first post of thread

This does not appear to work with an encrypted data partition that doesn't get mounted. on the g3. twrp is unable to mount the data partition once it is encrypted.

this is a twrp issue not your script.

cache mounts fine. does it get wiped in a dirty flash or just dalvik cache

sd card mounts just fine and is not encrypted. i know its not wiped

I am not sure what line needs to change to change the backup destination

i think here is a hint. i need to pass C to the function backup_file

maybe i just need to redefine C and export the value so it public to the exisitng function

ore replace backup_file wiht an alternate backup_file2 function that will accept the destination

the gapps script does this if it needs more space. if i can’t mount data it must be the same as not having space in the blue text

so it may be as simple as if the blue text returns 0 ( or fails) then change C ( red text)

clearly the size of exposed is almost always the same size so there would be no need to get that size.

like this

buffer_size_kb=204800
if [ $( buffer_size_kb) -ge "$free_tmp_size_kb" ]; then
C=/sdcard/tmp-xposed
fi

ill let you know if it works
[Xposed General] dcooterfrog:
I added this to the script and it works perfectly buffer_size_kb=204800 (from gapps) is probably the wrong number for xposed, too big so i use 5000, my xposed flashable is 4,741k

this is only for 32 bit.. if someone cool would add the 64 bit it would be great.

then if a super rockstar could get it added to the official flashable zips for xposed...

Hello.

I bought Tronsmart Qualcomm 2.0. Quick charger and use it just few times with my LG G4 H811.

After last charge (I heard that signal a full charge and after that about an hour came to the phone) I have seen that phone for some reson powered off.

So it's not power on, I try remove battery for night, try to charge it in anoter charger, try to press power button for 30 seconds.

I find that G4 have some problem, and died when charge. Every body with that problem just change phone bu warranty. But I don't have warranty for it :(.

Whos knows what could be the problem?

charge controller ???

Thx, and sorry for my English.

A couple of days ago I bought mediapad x1, rooted it with king root, then one night after that I left my tab on the charger, grab it in the morning, then the tab shuts down, then reboot on its own and stuck on the Huawei logo screen then reboot again, tried return it to factory reset but nothing happens.
[General Topics] Handsome Jack:
Thanks for this thread.

Kingoroot didn't root the phone, but stole the IMEI. This is 100% theft.

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Does Helium Backup work on this phone? I also bought this phone for $5.

I don't really need to root this phone. I just need to disable some System apps for my privacy.
[General Topics] Darth:
Some members want root at any cost. You're not posting anything that's not already known.

But as with anything, flash at your own risk. That is the bottom line in this hobby.

Read, research, decide. The responsibility is on members to flash what they want. So, use it or dont. Not much more to say. :good:
[General Topics] heartshaxor:
And SU ??
[General Topics] jschwalbe:
Awesome post. Thanks!

Two comments/questions:

1. I bought two of these phones for my girls (3 years old and 1 year old). I want to load some games and some videos. I need to root so that I can load apps onto the SD card, etc. Should I worry about using Kingoroot or just go for it? They aren't going to be doing email.. at most taking pictures probably. Maybe Dropbox access. Pandora. So some (of mostly my) credentials going over the air.

2. The link you didn't post (see what i did there?) doesn't work any more. Care to upload it elsewhere? Feel free to PM me if you want.

Edit: I should also say this.. these are the only android phones I've ever owned. But I do consider myself very tech savvy (few programming languages, very comfortable at a unix command line, etc). So if there's any newbie android advice for securing a phone for kid use I'm happy to hear it!). Thanks

couldn't get Kingo to work

So inspired by the above post I tried Kingo and it didn't work. After much screwing around with Windows in VirtualBox I got Kingoroot installed and it even said it rooted it - but I couldn't get anything (i.e. SuperUser) to work correctly. Mind sharing your method for getting it to work?
[General Topics] PalmCentro:
[MENTION=7133165]zzazzdsa[/MENTION] You gotta do some research on Kingroot

They claim on their website that they parented up with XDA....
[General Topics] Darth:
Nope. Lol

No affiliation. But anyone can put anything out there on the interwebz. ;)
[General Topics] zzazzdsa:
So i haven't had much time to play around with this some more, but I can post a rough guide to making a sniffing setup if you want to play along at home.

First, you're going to need a windows computer. It doesn't matter if it's virtualized, it just needs to have USB support enabled (via native support in VMware or the PUEL extension pack in VirtualBox)

Second, you will need to download adb for windows, USBPcap, and wireshark. All of those can be found with minimal googling. Once you have installed all three, you are ready to go.

Plug in your phone, enable adb on the phone, start USBPcap and an adb shell, and then start kingoroot.

Let kingoroot do its thing. While it is rooting the phone, pay close attention to the directory /data/local/tmp over adb. If anything interesting appears there, copy it over to a safe directory, like the emulated SD card.

Once the phone is rooted, close USBPcap, open wireshark, and comb through the packet log with a fine-toothed comb to find plaintext adb commands which will make the exploit work. A useful tip: the packet log will be extremely long, but almost all of the length will be due to the packet capture picking up file transfers as well. You can filter out these long file transfer sequences without losing any useful information.
[General Topics] Handsome Jack:
How did you get kingoroot to root your ZTE Paragon? I thought this phone cannot be rooted.
[General Topics] jschwalbe:
Get a virtual Windows machine running. Download the pc app at kingoapp com. Plug in, root. The problem is getting apps like super su to work given lack of /system write access. get that figured out and I'll give you a few gold stars. Because from what I can tell that's all that's holding me back from moving my apps to the sd card.
[General Topics] Appsapkapp:
OMG LOL!

Then What? They are going to sell my imei number
[General Topics] jschwalbe:
With as much due respect for someone I've never met: so what? It's a $5 phone. If they get your imei and something bad happens I'll personally refund your $5. :)

If you're really nervous about that run your virtual machine thru a mitm proxy and filter out anything that looks like your imei.
[General Topics] J4nu5:

[General Topics] djnzlab1:
Hi, my only concern is many novice use wifi at work is there a risk to hijacking a system via

By many phone services that allow access to towers.
[General Topics] next_1989:
Sweet i didnt know that thanks for the information.
[General Topics] blandead:
Imei is not a security password.

It's used to identify the phone when programming a number to it (which then gets stored on your sim card)

Verizon won't even tell you the imei associated with a line unless your the account holder.

Curious what the mobile app installation of kingroot saves.

I know that rooting base on exploiting our devices and always came with minor or major threats for phone endusers but I didn't know that IMEI number is a valuable thing.
[General Topics] TomDDD:
I don't really get your p.o.v. Darth with your "some members want to root at any cost" - I for sure wouldn't. Even I as a noob I'm interested in those things the TS mentioned. Maybe 80 to 90% of all users of this forum are using rooted phones I guess. To apply most of the app's/instructions etc.. on this great site you need a rooted phone !

So yes I would like to root my old Galaxy S4 phone but certainly not at any cost. I even wrote to Kingo root to see if it could be rooted. They replied it would be best to avoid using the *.apk on my phone, instead doing through a PC exe.
[General Topics] Razeer123:
I also used Kingo Root few years ago, it's been a while and nothing happened. I don't own my old S3 anymore so can't say if anything happened, but I don't think so. What can the do with IMEI?

He can clone your device so it shows up twice. This can then be looked at by law enforcement.

Oh. That's bad. I'm glad I haven't rooted my new Nexus by Kingo Root.

[General Topics] ericthered5000:
I've been looking at using this program as a backup in case I lose root and stealing the IMEI on my phone is a concern for me. Does anyone know if this program require access to the internet to work once installed? If you disable data on the phone and turn off your internet connection on the computer the IMEI push shouldn't be captured, right? Delete the program before turning internet back on. Kingo Root may require an internet connection to work for all I know. Anyway, I haven't seen anyone mention this as a possible work around and was wondering if anyone has tried it.

[General Topics] GhostTalon94:
I don't know why the people that rooted with King Root needed up missing their IMEIs but I am guessing it might have been a partial brick. I used it to root my Alcatel OneTouch and have had no problems. It seems as though the rumour may have been started by a jealous corp. Trying to defame KingRoot.
[General Topics] zelendel:
It is because the Method they use is not the safest way to do it and runs many risks. This is why no developer will use it and to be honest most of use would go without root first.

Once installed No it does not. I rooted my phone and have not had an internet connection since I did and it still works, the rooting app and all.
[General Topics] danieljenkin:
I already used it and although i had second thoughts, i found people supporting both sides on forums and it has a fan base.. It rooted fine although it does occasionally malfunction.. in the sense that sometimes allowed apps wont be able to do what they are supposed to.
[General Topics] PalmCentro:
Just saying it here. I have a feeling that kingroot is behind this new malicious malware Hummingbad that roots devices over the air.

That explains why it's free and they don't even beg for donations....

It's about time XDA should investigate them instead of endorsing them, Yeh it's a great tool for people who have locked bootloaders etc, but still we gotta get to the bottom of this.
[General Topics] Duffy144:
Yes it do steal imei... No to kingroot
[General Topics] anzei19:
It is as simple as this guys... Even xda devs doesn't ask for payment but accept any donations in case. That being said, minor devs do it for free just because they have few time to spare or enjoys doing such. But again, even this minorities would love to accept donations even just few cents.

And these two (kingroot/kingoroot) apps comes... With full fancy website with minimal ads offering you free root the easiest way possible they could give (one click root).

I mean, come on! Going to a lot of trouble spending dollars to publish a website offering you something for free???

And as i've posted before, my friend and i used one of those and ended losing our imei...

So if you wanna take a risk. Feel free to do so. )
[General Topics] speak51:
Maybe it gets the IMEI to make sure it uses the correct exploit for the right model phone. My Xperia Z3, once detected, would more than likely have a different exploit than other phones due to the locked bootloader. Not to mention the Baseband could just be determining carrier... For example, some phones are easier to root on different carriers because of less restrictions. MAYBE it's just a FOR SURE way of identification?
