I'm trying to install Xposed on my Nexus 5 running 5.0.1. I used Wug's rootkit on Windows to root my device, but first of all it seems that I cannot root. I have gone through the whole process listed on the XDA page. And everything the root kit itself walks me through.
I don't see SuperUser installed after my device reboots; I have done a second test to see if I'm rooted by going into the terminal on my device and checking the symbol after the prompt is a '#' instead of a '$'. It's a '$' currently, which I'm told indicates that I'm not rooted.
It's worth noting I suppose that my device is encrypted, but I don't think this would affect anything since the encryption function encrypts only the /data folder and not the /system folder.
Does someone know if there is an issue with 5.0.1 or perhaps something else I need to be aware of? I'm not sure why this doesn't work.
$
does not indicate a non-rooted device; it indicates a non-rooted user, try thesu
command. If it succeeds, then your device is rooted. Also it's still unclear to me what Xposed has to do with your attempt to root your device.
