It doesn't mess up store access, but when new updates are out, they will try to be installed. You will be rebooted into recovery, but you shouldn't run the update (the update script might not work). However, when you reboot, the Ouya will try to run the update again. I'm trying to figure out how to stop the ouya from looking for updates.
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
Hmmm. Could be a TV / Ouya compatibility issue.
[Ouya Android Development] voodooboy3000:
I just had a look and it was actually backing up as the cwm folder was filling. maybe I couldn't see what happening
[Ouya Android Development] toyosup88:
So I got recovery, Su, and busybox all flashed and everything is working fine...but what happens when a new ota update is released? Will it be able to install it having cwm?
[Ouya Android Development] Mysticales:
I just asked that. =p The short answer is "No" right now I wont install cwm "yet" till I see what ouya team does. I mean unless I see a super omg awesome rom release here that tops Ouya heh.

I've tried two different USB keyboards: one with a usb cable and one with a proprietary radio dongle, and neither will allow me to navigate the menu in CWM. I'm at my wit's end here. I went out and bought the wired usb keyboard tonight because the one with the dongle wasn't working. Any help or suggestions?
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
The keyboard needs to be plugged in before cwm boots
[Ouya Android Development] NssOne:
I'm hoping that asking this here is kosher:

Is it possible to change the display of CWM? There's those of us that have overscan issues with the OUYA and can't see the whole screen. So everything that is like the outside 5% or so of the screen is cutoff.
[Ouya Android Development] RyanPost22:
In every case, it has been connected before CWM boots...
[Ouya Android Development] BlackBeardN8000:
Update?

So the latest Ouya update is out - my box is downloading it and then dropping into CWM recovery which is asking if it's OK to flash it? Is it? Am I going to loose CWM?

Shall I wait for and unofficial update?

:eek:
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
I doubt it would flash correctly if you flashed it. We were having some trouble in CWM with the Mount and Format edify commands in updater scripts. I can make a CWM flashable zip when I get a chance, but it you absolutely positively have to have the update, you should flash back the stock recovery with dd before allowing the OUYA to reboot. If you don't understand exactly what I'm taking about, no worries, just wait for the unofficial.
[Ouya Android Development] Ozz465:
I believe you would lose cwm, I am in the same situation as well.
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
Almost done with the unofficial. I have to drive home shortly though. Look for it in a few. In the meantime, create a Nandroid backup.
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
So here's the deal. This is a test zip. I've prevented the recovery overwrite and changed the script so it should work in CWM. I haven't tested this yet. Don't flash this if you haven't done a Nandroid backup that you can fall back on.

This will break superuser and busybox if you flash, but you can always get it back using the root/superuser/busybox guide. The only thing this was supposed to do is be a quick and dirty zip that would flash the Ouya 298 update without overwriting CWM.

After install, you might be prompted to do another update (an update loop). The only way around this I've seen is to first reflash the stock recovery, let the update happen, and then reinstall su/superuser/busybox/CWM. I'm trying to find a way to block the modified CM Updater app from continually prompting for update (but I haven't found a way yet).

http://db.tt/VwbhMhze

Let me know how it goes. If there are any issues, let me know. If anything goes wrong (such as an update loop), I'll upload a CWM zip to flash the stock recovery over CWM. The sooner I find a way to disable the updates, the better. We won't have to deal with this crap.
[Ouya Android Development] invisiblek:
This fails to flash, you need to remove the chown line for install-recovery.sh in the updater-script

Also, signing it wouldn't hurt either =) google for signapk (not 100% necessary)

EDIT: also, i tested the sysrq method to get into recovery, worked like a charm
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
Thanks. Will remove. Any ideas on how we can stop the auto updates? More info can be found in the ChickenStock thread.
[Ouya Android Development] invisiblek:
We'd need to deodex the rom first (not too hard to do, been awhile since I did it)

Then probably modify OuyaLauncher to stop doing this! apktool should help you...
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
I deodexed and decompiled the OuyaLauncher.apk. The decompiled folder structure is in the zip attached to this post.

Updated flashable zip of the 298 Stock ROM can be found here http://invisiblek.org/ouya/UnofficialCWM_RC-OUYA-1.0.298-r1_ota.zip

Also, attached to this post is a CWM flashable zip of the Ouya Stock 298 Recovery image. Flash this if you get stuck in an update loop. This will overwrite CWM.

I'll probably be out of commission for the rest of the night.

[Ouya Android Development] Dropshots:
Thank you for your effort! :highfive: Did anyone test this already?

Just to be sure, if I install this using CWM recovery, I only need to re-install superuser and busybox? Everything else will be left untouched?
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
Before flashing anything, could you go into advanced settings (the menu that looks like regular android settings), choose the ouya account and uncheck the update check box. This might turn off auto updates. Doing a reboot would tell us whether or not auto updates are killed.

Yeah, if you flash the ROM, it will leave CWM in tact and keep your apps. You would have to manually install su and run the busybox install.

If you run into an update loop, you can flash the stock recovery in cwm (overwriting cwm), boot back into android, run the update, and you'll be on the latest version.
[Ouya Android Development] 27scoob:
Hi , I am having some trouble try to CWM working . I have Super user and busy box installed , but when I try to run the one click script at the very end where I should be in recovery the screen pops up with a red exclamation point . I will keeping trying to get it to install. Any help would be great . Thanks and cheers..

To add some more info .

after I start the script the first line pops up as

Adding Ouya usb vendor id for adb .. followed by..

Access is denied..... but the script keeps running and pushing the recovery img and backing up stock recovery and writing new recovery and says rebooting into recovery and that I should be in recovery but all I get is OUYA in white letters with a red exclamation mark underneath ..
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
What OS (Windows, OSX, Linux)?

It sounds like dd wasn't able to overwrite the stock recovery. Please post a pastebin of the output and specify what version of the Ouya software (i.e.264, 298) you are running (I believe it can be found in system info in the manage section).
[Ouya Android Development] dibblebill:

Hi I have a quick question, how can I check that an update flashed the stock recovery, I am looking to get back on the stock one for the time being.

I flashed the latest official update and them CWM asked if I want to stop the update from flashing the stock recovery I said 'No' now when I use ADB reboot recovery I just get a black screen. I assume this means I am back at stock?
[Ouya Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Once you reboot recovery and get that blank screen press the "home" key on your keyboard. If the recovery menu comes up then you are indeed at stock recovery.
[Ouya Android Development] 27scoob:
I did a factory reset and tried again with another laptop this one running windows 7 ..same issues during the install .. after adb list the device and opens the port and the script starts to push the files each time it states Device id unknown. ..access denied. ..all the way through to the end. ..and the I get the screen that says OUYA in white letters and a red exclamation mark underneath.
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
Sorry to be MIA, I'm just super busy and family and work come before play. If you open up the script in a text editor, you can try running the commands one at a time to see what the culprit is.

[Ouya Android Development] tennisbgc:
yeah I found that page actually linked through another site I guess I must of been using a wrong keyword but anyways I must be installing the cwm recocery wrong somehow cause I think im in the default recovery.

What ever happened to the open hackable Ouya we were promished in the Kickstarter. To me it seemed to say that we could do what we wanted. So... why is it so hard to install a custom revovery, where are the nvflash codes?
[Ouya Android Development] neph81:
NVflash isn't even needed. We need a hardware button method to get into fastboot mode. From there you could boot a recovery image and then sideload the full rom. If they have a hardware method to get in, they aren't sharing it right now, and that's just ridiculous.
[Ouya Android Development] 27scoob:
Success !!!! I fixed my problems by finding an .Apk for wireless adb which once installed you can turn it off and on and this will allow use of the micro usb port . Which in my case allowed me to finally install recovery.
[Ouya Android Development] lartomar2002:
Well.... don't keep it a secret which apk is it? Others might like to know if by chance they ever need it!

No recovery

I soft bricked my ouya one time using adb but fixed it with CWM and a nandroid backup. Now I just rooted my Ouya and it works fine but I discovered I no longer have recovery mode I have reflashed CWM 3 times and still no recovery mode. All i get is a black screen with "OUYA" and a "!" under it and it stays there for a minute the reboots back in the system. So I just dont have recovery mode. Is there a way of fixing this? Like i said I have done reflashed CWM 3 times since this has happened and its not fixing anything. Just scared its going to get bricked again and be a hard brick because recovery does not exist. And one other question is there not a download mode on the ouya and a tool to push software to it? Like samsung having ODIN?
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
The Ouya stock ROM flashes over the recovery partition on boot (kind of annoying). The script that runs with the 1-click should prevent this from happening. Not sure what's up.

You can use fastboot to do odin-like activities. Be careful though. If you flash an improper kernel, you'll brick the device (gets stuck in nvflash mode and we have no physical way to get back into fastboot).
[Ouya Android Development] samt3:
I used the one click method for cwm. Is there another method of trying to put cwm? I'm a noob when it comes to using fastboot.

fastest flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

(this is assuming fastest maps to recovery correctly, the first post has a flashable zip that can be installed after just booting the recovery via fastboot)
[Ouya Android Development] samt3:
Fastboot doesnt work it just hangs at "waiting for device" adb works perfectly and when i tried "fastboot" after "adb reboot bootloader" it installed drivers for fastboot. After the drivers were installed i went back and tried it all again and fastboot just hung at "Waiting for device" Is there any way to manually push the partition just by using something like "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p??" That what I used to flash twrp to my s4 before all the scripts came out to do it for you. I just know being the system works there has to be a simple solution to fixing the recovery. The one click doesnt work, and fastboot just hangs around and waits for device even though i know it is in bootloader mode and i watched the fastboot drivers install so i know i have those.

Edit: is there a way to just update it and let the update overwrite the recovery with the stock recovery? I know the script with the one click blocks it from the updates over writing it but is there away to undo it?
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
I've never had a problem running fastboot. Then again, I don't run windows.

You can dd if you are comfortable doing that and know you won't brick your device. Open the script (the script in the one click os folder and the one in the resources folder). There's not much to the scripts. You at least need working adb to do everything.

Ok. Well I have noticed under device manager that fastboot has a yellow triangle next to it which usually means something with the drivers. But I've looked all over the internet and cant find fastboot drivers for the ouya. If tried fixing it by using the google usb drivers from adb with the code for the ouya added in but still no luck. Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

There isn't a dd any where in the script. I don't know how it works without it but it looks like it does some how.
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
Look in resources/CWMFlashScript. The second dd is what you're looking for.
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
You can do it with adb. Just make sure you run su after running adb shell so you have the right permissions
[Ouya Android Development] samt3:
Thank you so very much. I knew how do to it I just couldn't find the dd thanks for pointing me where to find it. My cwm is backup working properly now. Maybe you could tell me why the script couldn't do it but yet I could using dd manually wouldn't it be the samething? The script worked fine when i did it the first time. Then after cwm messed up windows kept saying it was successful when trying to flash it again but wasn't doing anything on the ouya's end of it. I'm just curious why it worked one time and never worked again but yet a manually doing dd worked fine.

Hard to say without looking at the command prompt output. If you or anyone else runs into this again, please put it into a pastebin.

i tried unning the lines in the batch file one by one until i got to 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/CWMFlashScript.sh'

it gives me this error..

I get to the black screen with the ouya logo and an exclamation under it.. after about 30secs it then reboots into normal mode.

I think it may be because I dont have win7 drivers for fastboot (yellow exclamation) and dont know where to find/install them.
[Ouya Android Development] swindillon:
I get this same thing, maybe it has something to do with the latest update? I am not sure.
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
It's not a driver issue. The script run on the Ouya is flaking out on su. If you adb shell into the Ouya, then run su, you can manually run the commands in the sh script (ignore the echo commands and the su -c)
[Ouya Android Development] dre10g:
Thank you! It works now.

I'm backing up a recovery now.

Now when it rebooted into recovery there is a new device on my pc (win7) called ouya_1_1 and it's asking for a driver.. do you know where I can find it. x86. I tried pointing it to the google usb drivers again but no go.

[Ouya Android Development] Oscar_david:
WOWZZA!.. finally got this working. I'll tell you... this Ouya stuff sure makes me feel like a total noob. I'm not a developer. But rooting my phones and tab was a piece of cake compared to the hoops i've had to go through for the Ouya :banghead: . Every step I complete feels like VICTORY!! :D

The upside of course is that I'm learning new things. I think I'm still a bit petrified of potentially bricking this little box. But definitely feel better about it all now that I've got CWM recovery on it.

Thanks a million!. :thumbup:

Btw, ended up going the dd way. But couldn't figure out the remount part at first, since it points directly to a file. I ended up using: mount -o remount,rw /system

...just in case someone else gets stuck there.

One more thing: a plug for the app Quick Boot. I'm in no way assosiated with it or it's developer. But it's just a simple utility with options for booting into recovery mode and bootloader (fastboot), as well as reboot and shut down--not just sleep, an actual shut down (includes widgets).

No, this doesn't root the Ouya, and what are you talking about? What's the point? Custom roms, custom framework installs, nand backups..
[Ouya Android Development] Oscar_david:
Actually, you can boot into CWM. I use an app called Quick Boot. Otherwise you can boot into recovery through adb.

Though CWM is still 'experimental' it's pretty much fully functional. The problem is that, if something goes wrong --either botched OTA updates, or custom ROM sending you into a bootloop-- there is no hardware option to get into recovery, and adb won't work either. That's what makes it risky right now to install custom ROMs/ Kernels.

cheers

Does anybody know why CWM does not display on some TV's. Is this going to be fixed or something to live with. I have taken to using a HDMI to DVI adapter when I need recovery but that means moving everything each time.
[Ouya Android Development] foil:
It's hard to say, with there being so many different types of tv's... I have a 60" Mitsubishi DLP, and everything is off of the screen, unless I have it plugged into the HDMI port 1. Apparently HDMI 1 on my tv is a "pc" input (which is not labeled anywhere on the tv at all,) that I figured out by reading the manual (who woulda' thought, huh? haha) and when I use that one, everything fits my tv properly, and I have more options for aspect ratio/resolution and such.

Any ideas? My Ouya is on latest firmware, rooted and with Busybox installed. I made a backup of the system with this CWM just before trying to flash it permanently.

EDIT: I figured it out by myself. I think that it was i copied the .zip file to flash onto /sdcard/ using a File Manager and not with ADB, this and having low space on disk after the Backup messed up something. I just deleted the backup (But keept a copy on my PC) and copies the .zip file with adb and i was able to flash CWM. Thanks!!!
