Root MAY be needed. One user in this very thread had a kernel installer issue fixed by flashing the SuperSU zip in TWRP before running the aroma installer.
The Jan 19 date in your kernel version under about device tells me that you do not have either of the current kernel versions installed.There was a prompt asking me is I wanted to root my device at some point and I said no, maybe that was it.
Make sure you’ve mounted the system partition.
Then Advanced, File Manager, then navigate to:
And delete whatever isn’t bootanimation.zip.
Then do the rest.

Welcome to the X5iii. I said Fidelizer 1.2.4 doesn’t present issues like earlier version did with the custom kernel. On 4PDA everyone is using stock fw 1.2.3 or 1.2.4. Here a mix of that and fidelizer. There is no reason to be stuck on 1.2.1. You can install the old FiiO music app and install the sound envelope from that firmware.
And did you perform any sort of backup procedures in TWRP beforehand?
Delete the SuperSU folder in TWRP file manager and see if you can boot.
Do you encounter the "it appears your device is not rooted, would you like to flash SuperSU" alert when booting from TWRP after supposedly already having flashed SuperSU? If you do, then SuperSU flash was not successful. I have never had a freeze on booting Fidelizer 1.2.4 after installing SuperSU when I didn't receive that alert. I'll only suggest again deleting SuperSU in TWRP, flashing it again, wipe dalvik/cache, go to advanced tab fix permissions, and when you press reboot and don't get that extra prompt about SuperSU you should have it right..Update, after many wipes and reinstalls of firmware and fidelizer firmware this is where I'm at. Thanks to WitzyZed and his tutorual I am now a beginner level wiper/reinstaller I have not gotten past the April 27th dated kernal as at this point the tuorial says to root the device, when I follow the root tutorial and reset I get hung at the Fidelizer screen and have to wipe again and start over.
I think I will attempt to push 3.2 from this point today without rooting amd see if that works ?
Not happy w the new FiiO music app, its a decent GUI upgrade but I was also a huge user of Viper as Im an EQ maniac addict and I'm also not getting gapless playback anymore, which is an issue when 95% of my listening are live recordings, often with song to song segues, will tinker w settings.
Anyone have success running foobar yet ?

FiiO says if you click on the kernel version several times it will uninstall the newer FiiO music app for you (as you do not yet have root behaving to use an app manager like titanium backup) and you can then reinstall the old one: http://fiio-file.fiio.net/FiiO Music3.4.3.apk
