This works and is easy as hell. You can also install Magisk 14 install zip if so inclined. Instead of the SR3 SuperSU zip. I did because I wanted a properly working for all modules (mainly luckypatcher) Xposed. Normal Xposed v87 SDK 23 doesn't work. All modules report they are not activated when they are. I, after a couple hours dining and trying many things found out that the SR3 SuperSU zip I flashed coupled with BusyBox install on this phone, which has toybox caused and will cause many apps needing root and BusyBox to not work, re, adaway, Xposed official, Rom Toolbox, Luckypatcher and more. So I used my untouched, Ie, non rooted nandroid backup to restore too, rebooted and installed the Xposed Installer that the Magisk module recommend (been through the Magisk/Xposed rodeo many times) and back to fastboot for the cmd "fastboot boot recovery.img"

Flashed the downloaded Magisk v14 zip, reboot again and fastboot twrp boot to lastly install Xposed.v87.3_Sdk23_sytemless.zip.......

Every time I tried installing within Magisk Manager. I could not get it to work even though Magisk Manager reported all was ok and no errors. But zip Flash Xposed via TWRP does. Safteynet will fail but the Xposed Installer has a toggle for on off as well as a recovery disabler zip so one can toggle reboot and it passes or flash the disabler zip instead of uninstalling the framework.
[Android General] heavy.arms:
im reading all this info but im still confused. is it possible for someone to make a video tutorial on how this is all done please??
[Android General] Donphillipe:
I have been working on this now for 2 full days. I managed to install Magisk 16.0 using TWRP, then without understanding or thinking this was old information, I selected Xposed from Magisk (installed from Magisk before I ready about needing to install it from TWRP) and all appeared to be well. I enabled Xposed and added XprivacyLua and enabled it via the Xposed module page. Everything appeared to be setup properly but Xprivacy said it wasn't installed and a log sent to the developer proved that it was not installed (even though the check box in Xposed said so.)

So after reading the posts above, I elected to remove Xposed via Magisk and install the Magisk version of Xposed (xposed-v89.2-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip) via TWRP. Got everything installed again and same results, everything showed the check boxes marked and therefore active but XprivacyLua would not work).

Now reading above about problems with Busybox, I decided to install Busybox and then the busybox binaries via TWRP, downloaded from this location. https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/zip-busybox-v1-26-2-flashable-binary-t3581875

Now after doing that, I am hung up when trying to open Magisk. It is a solid green screen now. Tired re-installing both the zip via TWRP and the apk and have the same results. I assume I am going to have to restore. This is all new to me and I did not make a backup image because I don't have a SD card where I am working on this. All I can find is a factrory image on Needrom website: BLU_S0270UU_V6.0.04.02_GENERIC_20180203.rar

Can anyone point me to a guide that explains in elementary (as possible) terms how to get this ROM onto my phone and with it restored with the factory image? THANK YOU!!!!!
[Android General] Donphillipe:
I am struggling with everything including lack of mini SD card while residing at the moment far away from a computer store, a USB cord that is flaky as the snow, and a bricked phone because I wrongly read in a prior post that installing Busybox was a way to resolve the issue of Xposed showing it was installed and working when it was not.

Now can anyone suggest a link that shows how to flash the ROM I found online at NeedROM: BLU_S0270UU_V6.0.04.02_GENERIC_20180203.rar to this phone? I am not an expert at this, having rooted only a few phones over the years where I wanted Xprivacy and mostly just entered a few commands to make it happen. Today its getting too complicated.

I don't know if this phone even works with the SP flash tool, and if it does the drivers I have found to attempt it are not working.

Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!
[Android General] Mark42XLII:
Hello! Been through the same thing.

It is compatible with SP flash tool. Think about it: in the factory all phones come empty so there must be something to flash them. In case of Mediatek-based devices, it's SP Flash Tool.

And yeah, your drivers are broken. First of all, uninstall them. Can't tell exactly how because I don't know what you installed but you can try the programs list and the device manager.

After removing them, download mediatek-drivers.zip and extract it.

Now follow this carefully:

1) Go to device manager and click on Universal Serial Bus controllers.

2) Then go to Action >> Add legacy hardware.

3) Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced).

4) In the hardware types, select Show All Devices.

5) Click on Have Disk... >> Browse, browse to where you extracted the drivers, go to mediatek-drivers/Win7/ and select usb2ser_Win764.inf or usb2ser_Win7.inf if your system is 64 or 32 bits arch respectivelly.

6) Click Open and OK.

7) Select MediaTek DA USB VCOM PORT, then just Next everything.

Now repeat every step above but in step 7 select MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port.

Your drivers should be installed by now.

Now if you haven't done it yet, download it here. Run it, go to Download and in Scatter-loading File, choose the MT6737M_Android_scatter.txt file that (hopefully) came with your ROM. If it didn't download it here and place it in the same folder as the .img files that came with your ROM.

If it shows all checkboxes marked, just mark system, boot and recovery. It's a soft brick, you don't need a full reflash. If it doesn't but has system boot and recovery it's fine too. Hit download. Now, with your phone turned off, hold the VolDown key and plug it in. It will start flashing.

A popup will appear when it's done. That's it! Unplug and restart it. Should be back from the dead now.

The TWRP build you are using can only be booted via fastboot but not installed. If you flash it, the touchscreen will not work nor power buttons so you can't select anything. However I found a working flashable TWRP build: TWRP 3.1.1 built by Vampirefo

This one has the touchscreen working so you can permanently flash it on your device. It's very important to have a working recovery on your device that can reboot to bootloader because Power+VolDown actually boots in some kind of hardware test mode on this phone. Basically, if you softbricked your system, no working recovery=no bootloader=no temp recovery. And it's way easier to just restore your backup if you brick your phone.

Also, you can flash it througt SP Flash Tool. Rename it to recovery.img and go for it.

Can you reply or PM me with the rom you found? Mine is really old and I always have to wait for OTA...

Also, if you have any progress with Xposed, please share :D couldn't get it working properly here. Not a single module works...

Tried installing it the regular way with SuperSU and Magisk and tried the systemless install within and out of Magisk. None worked so far.

Thank you!
[Android General] Donphillipe:
I got the ROM from needrom.com you have to create an account, then just search on Blu studio xl and scroll down to pull the 2 version. Restored using SP Flash tool with non problem.

This whole thing is really frustrating. Get Magisk installed via TWRP, then to load Xposed Framework, you have to load Xposed via TWRP and then if you follow comments here from Flex_or_fleeceand his mini guide for downloading from Magisk with download only and not an install, you get the universal Xposed Systemless zip that is supposed to be able to choose which OS version you need during the install but that doesn't work installing via TWRM installing the universal version of Xpozed seamless zip so you have to download from the XDA site the latest Xposed with the SDK of your OS, in my case SDK23 latest version for Android 6.0. Now once you get Xposed installed via TWRP, then everything appears to work but trying to load XprivacyLua says it is not installed when the Xposed Module list says it is installed and the module is checked as being active. Yet the XprivacyLua menu still says you need to fix the issue.

Flex_or_fleece who claimed to get this working in a prior post said he resolved his problem by going to the link for BusyBox XDA pages for a solution, well I tried that, first installing BusyBox free from playstore, made sure that it said it was installed, then I loaded the libraries they talk about that is supposed to fix the BusyBox with toybox and after installing and testing the free version of BusyBox, then booting to TWRP and installing the Busybox library zip, once you boot up, the Magisk Manager will never open up again, just a blank green screen.

Time for a restore and try something else next time but unfortunately (unless the guy I asked about what exactly he did regarding BusyBox will respond, which he hasn't yet, ) then it's anyone's guess and I am all fresh out of guesses :(
[Android General] Mark42XLII:
I already did the BusyBox thing you talked about before and it went the same way. The difference is that my first attempt was by downloading from XDA so I didn't went through the universal zip problem. Actually there is now inside Magisk both the universal zip and the targeted sdk version numbers ones. Also I installed GravityBox and it said that couldn't communicate to the framework or something like that. Basically same problem. But I noticed something: when you install Xposed and reboot for the first time, it says that the Xposed framework is installed but not active and tells you to check the logs. If you go there you can see that the log file apparently doesn't even exist. In the second reboot it tells you it's active and running but if you check the logs it still couldn't open it because it doesn't exist. So maybe the problem is that Xposed isn't even starting up.
[Android General] Donphillipe:
On one of my iterations I installed a playstore app Marshmellow SD fix which fixed my problem with Xposed saying it couldn't read the log file. https://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-marshmallow-sd-fix-write-t3403263 But then once I installed this, slide the slider for Xposed to "authorize to sdcard" and then Xposed no longer had the error saying it couldn't read the log file but then simply always said "log file empty".

I'm just trying for Xposed and XprivacyLua only. When if I don't install BusyBox or the follow up install of the BusyBox binary zip file (that locks up the Magisk screen) and when I only start with a full ROM restore, install Magisk with TWRP, bring up Magisk and install Magisk Manager, install Xposed Systemless via TWRP, bring it up then it says Xposed is active. In Xposed I download and install the latest XprivacyLua and click the box in the Xposed module listo enable XprivacyLua, the check box remain checked and show active but the XprivacyLua menu says it is not installed. I sent a trace to the developer of XPrivacyLua and he said that Xposed was never loading it, and this is to repeat with all the respective check box checked and everything but the actual app saying all are active.

Adding "BLU STUDIO XL 2" so maybe Google can find this thread when people don't append the 2 to the XL"
[Android General] Donphillipe:
Yes, but that is not the challenging part. The challenging part is to get Xposed installed and the Xposed apps working with your root that you can obtain by several methods.
[Android General] Donphillipe:
TWRP and this phone is easy, as you said and as I agreed. You will not be able to get Xposed apps running if that is the goal - even with root.
[Android General] Donphillipe:
What is the main interest in this phone rooted? No one has gotten Xposed working so far or if they do get the green banner saying it is installed, it doesn't work with any of the apps. (Reported as due to toybox.) The phone has been rootable for nearly a year now, it's just that you can't do much with the root once you get it.

I have had my phone rooted for over a year now. Every few months I try again installing the latest version of Xposed via SuperSU or Magisk. Xposed apps will not work with either.

I recently bought a supposedly unlocked T-Mobile LG G6, but somehow my Verizon SIM card isn't working on it. The previous owner installed the T-Mobile unlock app and successfully unlocked it, so I'm really just not understanding what's going on. I tried to do a factory reset and restart the phone with my new SIM, tried to unlock it again (it says it's already permanently unlocked), etc. Help/advice would be much appreciated!!

try with LTE only mode with VZW.
[T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers] gmsisko1:
Your tmobile branded G6 might not have all the CDMA bands to work with Verizon.

Verizon still uses CDMA.

If the phone is really unlocked, it will work on AT&T, Crickett, T-Mobile and most GSM networks.

Would it be possible to do something like that? The 4x4 grid is what I hate the most about Sense Home, and one of the only things that I dislike about it. Apparently, you can now get something like 6x5 if you change the display size to small.. but that's way too small for me to use.

Would changing the DPI work? I mean, I just can't understand. Many other launchers work with larger grids from default. And the U11 does have a larger grid by default. It's rather frustrating.

Hi everyone! I never had an issue with my iPhone 6 before, and I never had an issue too with my Note 4 before getting iPhone which had Lollipop installed on it while sending and receiving MMS using T-Mobile. I recently switched to Galaxy S8 from iPhone and it seems like it's kinda slow for S8 to do it. Is it because of the stock messaging app? Wi-Fi Calling is enabled if that matters too, as iPhone can still send and receive SMS/MMS and make/receive calls from others, even if I don't have signal in a rural place here in California, as long as I am connected to a high-speed Wi-Fi.

Any thoughts about this? Is anyone experiencing this too?

Hi everyone,

I am stuck on a problem for some time now and still haven't figure out how to resolve it.

I would like to

prevent

my phone to automatically connect to a EAP-SIM Wifi network. I have enough data and there is a good network where I live. When I walk it switches to the wifi network near me and this is actually worse than the data network.

When I try to look the internet for this, all I found is people trying to enable this feature but nothing on how to unable it (or prevent it to connect to this specific network [FreeWifi_secure, a French mobile network provider]).

What I tried :

Remove ("Forget') the network => It reappear and reconnect every time

Disable my wifi when I'm outside => work, but then, I forgot to activate it back once home. Not the solution I'm looking for

Modify wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/) and add "disable=1" to the network => the file is always rewritten by the system

Modify wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/) with update_config=0 => Does not work, the file is always rewritten by the system

Modify wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/) by commenting "#update_config=1" => Does not work, the file is always rewritten by the system

Change owner of wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/) from "wifi.wifi" to "system.wifi" => Switched back to "wifi.wifi"

Remove the network from the wpa_supplicant.conf file => Comes back and connect to the wifi
