sorry for the late reply reply.

Yes you need to enable transparency from transparency management. 

In case of force close, did you enable gravity box control in xposed?

Yea, i havent tried deodexing yet. Will let you know once i do it. If you happen to do it, do share :D

How did you brick it?

It can be revived.

 

To access fast boot menu:-

1.Shutdown 

2.Press and hold Vol up and down both and then press and hold power button.

3.Let the XOLO logo appear and then after approx 5-7s release power button while still holding on vol up and down.

4.Fast boot menu will appear :D

yes I've got fastboot menu but fastboot commands don't work... also in recovery there is an option for

adb sideload update.zip

that doesn't work since adb devices doesn't show my phone... :(

how I bricked it u ask.... ill tell u...

I tried installing beats audio on x1000 without creating a backup which is not possible ... it then caused my music fx to force close ... so I manually tried to replace the libs... which caused the boot loop...

Thank you Bro for the brilliant update. Finally I have rooted Xolo X1000. But SuperSU not installed. Is there any need to do instal SuperSU OR Busybox. When I open lucky patcher it says busy box not found. Any reply will be warmly welcome

U need to install SU from playstore... about busybox I don't know... so search around in playstore and download latest version of busy box...

[Guest jRUINER]

Thanks for the Reply, I already installed both but I found no work for supersu. Without it app can authenticate root writes. No need of it.
