The main reason I ask this is because after every firmware update the root/su access disappears. I just wonder if there's some way to make it easier to quickly root again after these updates. I'm not saying having to go into adb to root is a major pain, it just gets tedious to have to do it after every simple update the Ouya gets. I was hoping an internal method of rooting would have been discovered or developed by now.
I would think OTA RootKeeper would work:

Probably the easy thing to do is wait for custom rom's to be developed. Currently the one I'm working on has OTA updates redirected to a server in my control, what this would do is stop OTA updates from OUYA and allow us to keep root as long as the ROM supports it.
No, they can't if you keep posting questions in the developer section.

No, it wont. OTA rootkeepers work by either setting the immutable bit for the su file so not even root is allowed to modify/delete it from the filesystem, or they leave another suid binary on the filesystem so if su gets borked, their backup one is still there. All the Ouya updates format the /system partition. Neither a file with the immutable bit set or a backup suid binary would survive if they were on the /system partition.
gianptune,
Ah, I see.
Well, it was a thought anyway.
pitcherj
You could make an update zip that only flashes the su binary that you want.
Could always write a quick batch file or script that would automatically do the steps. Probably someone that knows more than I do that would have a better way of doing it, but that was my thought after seeing the update come down today.
If i put something together & anyone is interested i'll post it just so it will be a quick file to run after each update (I have my OUYA right next to my computer so it's always connected via USB).
I'm working on an all-in-one su/recovery/wifi adb/backup program right now.
Hold tight.

Same here. I've already done a little script for wired and wireless sideloading, now im trying to add rooting into it.
Although by the time i figure out how to implement the adb shell su commands into a batch script, theyll be releasing OUYA2.

Does anyone know of a "1.47.651.1 ROM" that:
• Is rooted WITHOUT Super User(meaning "adb shell" brings up "#", not a "$" and then "su" to get "#")
• Isn't tweaked to hell
• Has working AND updated EVDO & WiMax Radios
That's all I want, but can't seem to find it in this jumble of hacked ROMs and special do-dads.
I think that the "start over with 1.47" thread gets you to stock with everything updated, except that you're going to have superuser access.
It's probably your best bet. Why don't you want superuser permissions?
Because typing "su" an extra step, and it also asks me to give permissions everytime something with root access pops up. So annoying. I just want it to work lol.

Seems to do it a lot, and even stops me to ask me if certain programs are allowed to communicate with Google servers every so often. Is SU something that is required NOW for a root to work? Because my last phone didn't (Black) didn't have it on there, had 1.47, and rooted fine with the flash exploit method.
It's not working for my white phone though, so I had to use SimpleRoot (which took me back to a WAY earlier version), and flash my way up to 1.47.

Hey all! Any help please?
I've tried ALL methods to gain root and as someone mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782266 , no success.
I can get to the reboot after the supposed root, but basically nothing else. No superuser, root-check fails, etc and then the device is permanently slow. Only solution is then a factory reset and back to square one, without any root.
Anyone have any success in rooting the new system version, http://bit.ly/1kgs5L8 8.4.9 ?? I had root in the past but the buggers pushed this one on me and I lost everything, even side-loaded apps (and while we're at it, can I disable these effing updates in the future?)

Ok, back again.
So, my situation is now this: The root worked, by appearance but somehow, it only seems to be a "partial root", for lack of a better description.
I have SU and Rootcheck Basic installed and it says that I have root, but I can't get the play store to work no matter what, and can't change permissions on the /system/apps folder or write to there when trying to copy the Google Play apk there (attempting to see if I can run or install it there).

I don't recall the exact steps, but if you follow link for the method that's on the first one I quote here, and follow it pretty precisely you'll get root. Mainly, some of the most important things I recall are USE THE KFFIRSTAIDE and that tool will basically get you into all the ADB functions you need to get and keep root. There's an option on there to turn off updates, which you need to do immediately after you gain root in order to keep root. Also, something that nobody seems to mention - you need to set the /system folder to r/w so that you can install the play store app or for anything system related to "take".
Ultimately, I would say, start with getting that KFFirstAide installed and communicating with your Kindle. Like I said, it has many functions you can see in it's options window.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

I've had root, and TWRP. That lasts only as long as the Kindle stays off. Amazon is noticing, and forcing an update (back to 8.9.4), which breaks root. I think we're going to have to skip root and install something Amazon can't see (or find a way to block OTA updates).

Rooting the KF isn't enough to allow Play Store (or most other Google Apps) to work. You have to go a step further, and change the OS to CM (or similar). As long as Amazon can recognize the device, Google isn't going to function. Just no way around this one.

Are you referring to the launcher settings or SuperSU settings there should be an option in SuperSU settings to set the SuperSU icon to invisible.
I just happened to check my system today and had the OTA update from LRX21M to LRX21V waiting. I tried installing it but Recovery stopped halfway through the install with an Error. I got back into Android with a power-cycle, so things are fine, but it's still on 21M.
I'm guessing this was due to having rooted the device. Is there a proper way to remove SuperSU to allow for a system update? I see there are 3 different options for cleaning up; does it particularly matter which one I choose? I could just pick one and try it but I'm kind of curious what the differences are between the options. Anybody know?
Update: I tried the second and third cleanup options (new superuser app and full unroot) and neither got me into a state where the OTA was successful. So I just downloaded the factory image and flashed the system.img from it, then reapplied the original root process.

probably a full unroot and flashing the stock boot.img would fully unroot, I wonder when LRX22C (5.0.1) will hit the nexus player
The root is fundamental in all devices for many things, and thanks to Chainfire and others independent developers we can consider Android a semi-open platform. (semi-open because not all is open source)
We don't want Android like the Apple walled garden, but we are not even against the sale of the software, we just want a common garden in which the user can choose and is not obliged.
For example with the root, it was easier to start this project:
Nexus Player with a Full Version of Android Lollipop https://plus.google.com/103019026671039069038/posts/V5XaLxK3vN8
This is just the base rom with all hardware components working, on this base that is very usable, i want add many other options. like external usb webcam and mic, improving the audio part that have fixed volume and many other things useful for the use in TV.
Nexus Player is not just Android TV, but is the first Nexus device with an intel cpu. Is a milestone in the evolution of Android.
This is just the start and I am very open to sharing and collaboration on this project.
Thanks Chainfire for the root and for your "How-To SU" guidelines.
Out of interest will rooting prevent OTA updates from installing in the future?

I did this, despite the warning it gave me. Now although I still get permission dialogs etc, I can not run the main program to delete apps etc from SU access. Is there anyway to go back to the main screen? I went to the apps sections of the NP and unlike other apps it didnt have an open command.
To get it back do I need to uninstall and then re-CFroot?
Thanks. I should pay better attention to dialog boxes but its not a huge deal.
Just as the title dictates. I am trying to walk a friend through installing google play on his rooted fire tv, I emailed him all the necessary files and he installed via es file explorer which apprently did not work as it just gives him a white screen. Is this only able to function if it is installed via adb?
Did you guide him through the xposed framework installation as well?
Yes
danknasty, maybe have your friend read the guide. Why would you not use Adb? and you have to install the xposed framework along with the module for google play to function. And to top it off to make it work perfectly fine, you need to use market helper 2.0 beta.

You mentioned Rooted. i have a solution for you. Get him to install quicksupport and start it up. Then use teamviewer on your home pc and connect to it using the number quick support generates. Note: the first time the person will have to accept access to root privs. From that point on you'll have full control of his firetv from your PC. I do that all the time for my parents who live remotely.
I also connect to their PC so I have their PC and their firetv and can do adb install or what ever I need. Hope it helps.

One other thing to note is that if he gets the prompt for root grant, you know there is a timer of 15 seconds and he has to accept it in that time. I know i have a hard time explaining that too to my parents.

Is there a permanent root option with the newer firmwares? I didn't know. At least not with supersu. The permanent option used to exist in the older rooted firmwares. The new ones' have to select grant everytime root is requested.

If you select the permanent option when you first root I believe it transfers over. When you update it. That was my understanding correct me if I'm wrong.

I've done so many roots and have never seen that option. The older firmwares with towelroot had it that way. but when you upgrade from those rooted versions to the new one, you have to constantly grant.
Are you talking about units you've hardware rooted? I just did one not so long ago and in the supersu program there is a choice that says grant always. After upgrade to the latest firmware it still remains.

Here:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=google+play+aftv+guide
So, I'm new to rooting and this is my first Nexus device.
I'm loving it and all the options but now I'm getting a notification to update.
I see all the forums about hooking it up to a computer and using commands to do it all and then rerooting.
I was looking for an easier way.
I bought a Nexus 5 to play with because I liked this one so much and when OTAs came up, it would let me download them and reboot into CWM recovery and ask if I want to flash the ZIP.
This one just boots into TWRP (No CWM for 5x) and does nothing.
I found the update as a zip here:
<https://gist.github.com/jduck/744a6c8a9042e9c792b7>
My question is: can I just download it and use TWRP to flash it or is the sequence of commands on a computer the only way to do it?
Thank you in advance for your help and I apologize for my ignorance.
Gotta start somewhere though, right?
Hi !
I personnaly use NRT from Wugfresh for my Nexus 5x and my Nexus 7 2013, both rooted.
In "model type", select Nexus 5x and your build.
In "Restore/upgrade/downgrade", select "device is on/normal", then click "Flash stock+ unroot".
Select the build you want to install, it can dl and extract it for you, and select "No Wipe Mode" in order to keep your data and apps. (don't try to put your ota file here)
Go through the steps, and in the end, hit "Root" to root again.
I know there are others methods to apply just the OTA with command lines, but I never did it cause I never took the time to learn. I should do it, maybe it's faster with command lines.
Anyway this works, even if it takes a little time, and it is kind of automatic. But I strongly recommend you try both method to find what suits you most. Or wait for someone else to reply so you'll have more points of view !
Have fun with your N5x !
I like the idea of that.
Does it reinstall the superuser app automatically?
If so, which one?
And does it redo custom recovery?
And which one for that?
Sorry for all the questions but I purchased SuperSU and I don't want it to automatically download a different one and have to go through the steps to change a superuser app.

Are you using flashfire v0.28?
Xposed modifies the system so while you maybe able to get the ota it can prevent you from installing them even with flashfire.
Go to the flashfire thread and see if this is a problem with the app or because or xposed (most likely answer).
Otherwise find the ota threads and see if you can flash it through recovery (not the N version)
Yeah, it's that version of Flashfire.
I have the update zip but I'm afraid to just flash it.
I was hoping that I'd get some more help here.
Not that I don't appreciate your help.
Thank you, by the way.

Thats at the end of my ability to help you with this particular problem, I have only owned a Nexus for 2 months and they are completely diff to Samsung plus I run pure nexus rom, you may just have to use a computer.
And I really appreciate it.
I'll just use a computer and do it.
Don't want to risk trying to flash the zip and bricking but I'm still curious.
Just not curious enough.
Haha.
Got it.
In case anyone needs to know for themselves, I wanted to post it here.

I used that and it worked.
I didn't flash the Xposed zip and had to later on.
Worth it just to add it to the queue to save the time.
Everything else seems to be working fine thus far.
A few settings are changed (TinyCore was turned off and hidden apps in Smart Launcher 3 were unhidden) but that's nothing big.

That is the same manipulation I explained in post 2, but with Flashfire, without using a computer. And full automated, where with nrt you have to factory reset and root later. I'll try it next time ! And yeah, the version of SuperSu is always the latest, and if it is not, it will update via play store (I bought it as well ^^)

This one didn't unroot. Just uninstalled Xposed. Kept all my data and stuff. Apps stayed signed in even. I was afraid because I heard "factory reset" in yours. Or something to that nature. The only thing I'm having problems with now is Tapatalk told me to check my adblock settings and won't load anything. I'll have to look up what's wrong with it. Other than that, it's doing all right.
You are right and wrong, it unroots but reroots in the process. Same I did when I used nrt. And as i didn't wipe data, apps stayed sign in as Well.
But i tried flashfire on my nexus 7 and I it is way more useful and faster than nrt. I am adopting it !
