CWM will NOT install. - Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
This is my first time posting, I have used XDA many times for great info and guides and lots of troubleshooting. I have never posted before because I have either never had anything useful to say that hadn't already been said or I was able to find the solution to my problem by diligent searching!It will not let me post in the CWM development thread so I had to come here to post. I had my Ouya all rooted, cwm installed and working fine, had xbmc and many other apps sideloaded and working good. I hadn't tried to reboot into CWM for a while because I didn't have anything I wanted to change on it at the time. Well the last couple auto updates installed as normal, nothing changed that I could tell , then I decided to reboot into recovery. Well it wouldn't go into recovery, it would just black screen and then do nothing. I then tried using the one click recovery method that had worked perfectly for me in the past, and it did the same black screen for eternity. I then factory reset it, used the ouya toolkit to root, then successfully installed the superuser and busybox files and binaries. Now no matter what method I use for installing recovery, one-click, manual, ouya toolkit all of them fail!!!. The best I can get it to do is say OUYA with the red exclamation point. I tried the methods described at the end of the CWM recovery thread , like using the home key on my usb keyboard when it shows the red exclamation, rebooting into recovery with the toolkit but nothing has worked. I am beyond frustrated and at a loss for what to do now, any help is greatly appreciated!!

In my case I got a purple screen of death xDDD I did not see anything xD

I saw in the cwm thread in development that several people were having that problem also, some got it fixed, but the same thing doesn't work for everyone,

Apparently the most recent updates messed up everything on my ouya, the playstore mod no longer works either, I really hope someone is going to create a newer version of cwm for this thing.

the worse thing is... I don't know the reason for that purple screen :S

please help with rooting

OK I just bought an Incredible a few days ago and tried my luck at rooting. I did a lot of research before hand and I am usually pretty good with this kind of stuff but obviously not good enough. I have tried everything I can find online but nothing seems to work properly. My phone came with stock 2.2 and I rooted with unrevoked 3. The rooting actually worked fine, there is s-off and I have the super user app, I have even been able to download the tethering app and use it. The main problem is that the Clockworkmod recovery screen does not pop up. No matter what I do, even right after the rooting process, my incredible goes to the HTC screen that is all white then a black bar or two appear on it, followed by a complete black screen with two white edges going down the sides. No green text nothing and then it just boots up normally. I have tried rooting on a mac, Windows xp (via boot camp), on a windows 7 computer. Nothing changes. I just wanna know is there something simple that I am just not doing properly, maybe some sort of setting that needs to get adjusted, I have selected charge only, remember this, and usb debugging. Please let me know if it is the fact that it is stock 2.2 and I have to wait until a new version of unrevoked comes out or am I doing something wrong. The phone works fine and everything for the time being but I want to be able to overclock, undervolt, remove bloatware, etc. I greatly appreciate any help that someone could give me. I am to the point of trying to find someone local and paying them, but it seems like no one nearby even knows how to do this or just has an iphone and can jailbreak that...lol....
Completely power down the phone. Hold down the volume button and power on. You should be in HBOOT. Select Recovery. Or use adb and enter adb reboot recovery. If noe of those work, install ROM Manager and tell it to flash Clockwork, then tell it to reboot into recovery.
That's a known problem with the new Incredibles shipping with SLCDs. Search around for info pertaining to that.

have tried all of that and it still doesn't work...thanks though

OMG thank you i didn't even think about the new once having the lcd...I figured out a fix for it. Clockworkmod won't work yet on a the new SLCD's only AmonRa recovery does. From what I hear koush is trying to update it soon. Thanks!

[Q] Can't get phone to re-root, please help

Previously I had installed on my phone (I believe, but could be mistaken) a Twilight Kernel and Hurricane v1.6 Rom. Well, I had nothing but problems with the rom, and put up with them for some time, just because I didn't have time to go through and find a rom I liked and flash it. I decided to do just that yesterday.
Apparently my mind broke and I did something wrong (probably numerous things). I had first attempted to put the shiney new CWM9 with Shadow Kernel on, rather, I made the mistake of trying to just put the Shadow Kernel on after having done a full (triple) wipe on my phone. I got the boot loop for the kernel since there was no rom (duh) loaded. Okay, no problem, I'll toss a rom on the SD and boot into CW3 and flash it? Yeah, not so much. I got a short "Samsung" logo boot loop and could not get into CW3 after that.
So, I Odin'd it back to EL30, thinking I'll just start from fresh, right?
Wrong.
Next in the series of mistakes I made, I forgot that I had already downloaded and installed the Samsung drivers (don't ask, my brain was apparently on leave yesterday) and attempted to re-install them. They did not like this and would not progress and I had to End Process the install from Task Manager. I then uninstalled the drivers completely fearing that I may have corrupted them by trying to re-install and then EP'ing them.
I then re-installed them, or so I thought. Plug phone in and start again with One Click Root. Fail. The script couldn't find my device.
Hours of searching and trying different things later, script still couldn't find my device, though I now have both the phone recognizing there is a USB connection, and the computer has stopped yelling at me that there are no drivers (I believe it finally gave up and installed the Windows drivers for it). But still can't get it rooted or do anything but stock stuff.
So..
1:Samsung drivers won't install, running Windows 7-64 Ultimate; error at end of install just states: "The MMS InstallWizard was not successfully installed SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.3.450.0."
2hone previously recognized USB Debug mode, but no longer. Will only Recognize standard USB connection, and with the connection made to PC, the script will not recognize the device.
3:adb for all intensive purposes does not appear to be loading..per the message from the script "Root was not obtained after 60 seconds. Make sure the phone is connected and that adb is working. If adb shell isn't root, reboot the phone and try the script again." I've rebooted numerous times, but I'm pretty certain that since it's not going into Debug, it's just not being recognized.
I have even tried Gingerbreak with no luck, just continuously sits on the rooting screen, but never proceeds (upwards 45 minutes I let it go).
Please please please please help me fix all the mistakes I did and get this thing working again and get the damned drivers installed proper.
(Baseband-S: D700.0.55.EL30, Kernel version 2.6.35.7, Build number: Gingerbread.EL30)
Note* I am happy with any root/kernel/rom at this point, I don't care, I just want the damned thing rooted again.
And of course after I finally cave and post for help, I find the thread where it clearly states OneClick Root no longer works for Gingerbread...so we'll add that into the mistakes I made...
Question still stands, how do I get this rooted again?
Qbking77 youtube him...

If you are up and running EL30 just Google How to Root Samsung Epic on EL30 and a qbking77 youtube video will pop up and all the links are there as well for the files you need. If you are not up and running then you need to go into the Roll Up sticky thread in Development and click on How to Restore a semi-bricked Samsung Epic....all links are there for that including 64bit drivers.

[Q] Problem after the new update GN

Hi,
I searched the forum but I couldn't find a similar problem, so Please I need some help.
Last week I got the new update 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Nexus gsm, so I went and installed it.
During installation when the device turned off and it was unpacking the update or even a little bit before that, I got a message which I really don't remember very much and didn't understand but i think it was from rom manager asking something maybe about flashing or something similar.
I remember as well, that it said that the action cannot be undone! and since I didn't understand very well what it was asking me, i chose something which seemed to me the safest at the time.
Which means, if it asked me to install something, I chose not to since it can't be undone.
I know I'm not giving as much information as i should but this is what happened.
After the installation was finished, I downloaded root checker to find if i had lost my root or not and it took awfully long time for the app to tell me that my device is rooted.
So, everything was okay and apps which needed root access were getting it from superuser app.
Today I decided to backup my rom so I opened rom manager premium and I was not able to backup the rom or even restart in recovery mode, so i uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I was getting always error that it was not granted superuser access.
So, i figured out that the problem is specifically with the rom manager because other app which needs root access were always getting it, so I went to titanium backup and rebooted through the app into recovery mode and it did but all i got is that black screen with the android icon in the middle having a red triangle on top. I had to take the battery off to restart the phone.
I tried again to reboot into recovery mode using the power and the volume button but I was unable to.
So, I'm asking whats the problem?
Am I still rooted? and how can i fix this problem?
I was thinking of using the nexus kit but I can't reboot in recovery mode at all so I guess it won't be much of a help.
I'm very sorry for the LONG question.
Thanks Guys

Yeah, Galaxy nexus toolkit will work fine. You can also download the recovery (it is a .img file) and flash it manually through fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img)

[Q] Failed Sprint Note 2 Root Stuck in Loop, Dev not answering

I attempted a root on Samsung Note 2 Sprint version (in white). Followed all steps, however phone got stuck in a reboot loop right after I put the option 2 (root only) Odin step in. Sprint ver LPH889 (I believe that is what Odin is calling it, option 72). Toolkit used was ADB 4.1.0.
Original symptoms were that the Android updater was looping trying to load everything; being new I made it worse and tried recoveries and reloads which also failed. Now it boots, goes to splash, circling blue oval image and...it stays there.
Good news: I have access to download mode and recovery reset mode (including sideloading).
Bad news: every thread I've followed has given me an issue.
I have recovery access but I need some idea of where to go from here and searches have shown near but not exact symptoms. I have unplugged it from the pc, removed the battery, done a factory reset, attempted to reflash via Odin (root) attempted to reflash stock via Odin and so far I am still stuck in a reboot loop. Windows detects the phone but shows a problem in device manager because possibly it won't stop rebooting. Any help you can provide is appreciated and if at all possible I need to recover some form of working phone here, and soon. My girl needs it for work and Sprint's network in my area barely works from day to day (which they admit but don't credit my account for). This phone has problems sending/receiving calls, they claim it's fine, and I was forced to try a root to get some form of working device. That failed too.
I'm a newb at this...it's been years since I flashed a phone (Razor v3), so...any help would be appreciated, otherwise I have to crawl to sprint/samsung and get it replaced, which I don't want to do. Thanks.

I thought it would to but I did not want to dig through 70+ pages of the thread when searching failed...unless I really needed to. Most of it is old and doesn't apply.
I was directed by the referenced Youtube vid. I used the options referenced for the phone in this thread with that toolkit. I backed up existing files (not as one unit, but internal files and I think OS), went for the option 2, followed the instructions and things went great through odin...until android went to update and started looping with the 'updating files' percentages. At that point I tried to restore to basic and started clearing caches and such and that is how I got to where I am.
When that failed I started looking at the leaked stock flash and that failed on shoot.ini which that guy never addressed because he thought his international version was all versions (that's why I choose 'doesitwork?' as screen name ). So i'm down to sideloading or something. I really need guidance, and I emailed the toolkit author but I'm still waiting on a reply.
Any thoughts?

When used the toolkit a year ago, I found that I had to turned off all firewalls and antivirus apps for it to work properly. Once I did that it worked fine....give it a shot...can't hurt......might even be able to repair what you've done so far.....Good Luck!!!
I'll give this my best shot...download a rooted rom from the development section and place it on your SD card.
Download toolkit from here (I take no credit for this) http://d-h.st/iu0
Put phone in download mode.
Open ODIN and uncheck "auto reboot". Then click "PDA" and add the .tar file (recovery).
Plug phone into PC (make sure to have samsung drivers installed).
Once ODIN sees the phone you can click "start".
When the recovery flash is complete, pull your battery to ensure power down.
Boot into recovery : volume up, home, power all at the same time.
Flash rooted rom.
Toolkit is an extra and unnecessary step.

Grab the one click flavor of choice. Use the one with 1090526 in the name as that's the full version.
Open in windows, put phone in download mode and flash. Easy Peasy.
Let me know if you have any issues with this.
Sorry for the late reply, I had some issues with the "catchpa".
The one click fix worked like a charm, thank you! I will soon be making a contrib to the site. It's a shame I couldn't root as easily :laugh: .
I know the level of work that goes into this stuff and the desire to keep on top of new gear while maintaining support for the old and I appreciate the community coming to my aid, so again, thank you!

Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U ROMs

Hey guys,
I really need to find at least the stock ROM for the new-ish Blu Advance 4.0L (model A010U), because the most recent OTA update unforgivingly bricked mine. Now I want to try to re-flash the stock ROM, but I am also open to custom ROMs, if there are any available. Please help me out! Thanks in advance
I am really surprised no one has replied yet, but again I am facing the same problem and I've been searching the Internet for one month now and I found absolutely nothing for this phone (specifically for version A010U).
So I am going to post a different question in the hopes that someone will read it and help us out:
I have two Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U phones, which are identical except for the color (white and green). They were manufactured a month apart one in 10/2015 and one in 9/2015.
Unfortunately after only a couple of months of light use and for no apparent reason (did not drop it, or wet it, etc) it started going through a boot loop. It will start, show the "bold like us" logo then restart again without making it to the operating system at all. Like I said I've been looking for over a month to find a ROM (stock or modded) to reflash but with no luck. Then I had an idea. Since I have the other identical phone that's working fine, is there a trick I can do using the working phone to create a ROM that I can use in my broken one. By the way, the non working phone will allow me to get into the recovery menu, but unfortunately nothing happens if I wipe the cache or even if I reset to factory defaults.
Anyone knows what's causing that "boot loop", how to fix it and where to find a ROM or even "extract" or "create" one using a working Advance 4.0 L ???
Thank you very much!
Man I wish I knew. I'm kinda a novice. I have the same phone with a similar problem... I downloaded the recent ota update and the first time it said it couldn't unzip it. I tried again and it seemed to work but when it rebooted into recovery it said there was an error... So it won't boot up, it just goes to the screen that says "no command". I'm pretty sure the there's a way to make a copy of the working ROM but since I don't use a PC for anything I've never taken the time to learn the method.

I just got ahold of a couple of these devices myself and am in the process of going through all the in's and out's of them....I'm a Samsung nerd so I haven't messed with something like these in a while but I got one (that was supposedly dead bricked per the lady friend of mine I got them from) at least able to boot into factory mode and recovery via ADB and just as I'm posting this I'm in adb shell going through the device's internal memory.....so we'll see what all I find and can pull out of this one and possibly know enough to post an intelligible reply with solutions next time
The boot looping sounds like a common problem with these and when I get to that point I'm going to get rid of the stock bootanimation.zip ASAP and try something else. I get the idea that these things aren't exactly power houses built for much so the littlest thing or small bug in their coding could lead to this kind of crap happening.
Hopefully you figure yours out before I toss these out the window! lol
Cheers y salud!

Forgot to add a couple things about your post, sorry! I beleive (and I just started digging into this phone) that the no command part is the locked bootloader these phones appear to have. I think it was a combo of holding both volume buttons down from a powered off state then pressing power button on that came up with the option for factory mode or recovery (which led to the sad 'no command' droid), i went into factory mode and theres an option for Tp Upgrade which Im assuming is F/W or something similar but I just hooked up to the PC and in that mode it's reading the internal and external memory of the phone and that's about where I'm at so far.
Wow! I'm surprised this thread is still going.
Anywho, I found a repository that is storing the default ROM for the 4.0L. The files were just added recently. I would have liked to have seen a custom Lollipop ROM made by now, but this device is far too irrelevant to get any attention, unfortunately. Just root and forget, I guess.
I can't wait to try it, thank you! And btw, were you able to get root successfully and if so, how?

Hey Deuler93 -
You have my respect for digging out that BLU ROMs link and sharing with the rest of us. I downloaded the one for my Advance and used SP flash tool to flash the phone that was stuck on a boot-loop. Of course first I had to download and install the MediaTeK drivers for USB connectivity with my PC. Everything worked flawlessly, no glitches what so ever. All these links are easily found and widely available online if anyone is interested I can share here too. I just hope that this boot-loop was due to some software glitch and not hardware failure. Everything seems to work fine for now, keepint my fingers crossed it will NOT happen again.
Well, one less headache to worry about. By the way we're not that far, if you're ever in the Chicago area, I owe you a beer or something. Thank you!
Hi guys !
Thank you very much for the Advance 4.0L Roms.
I have successfuly recovered my phone, but the IMEI got lost.
So, I need to root it in order to recover the IMEI, but I just can´t get success on any method :
Kingroot
Framaroot
Towelroot
is there another way to root it ?
Thank you very much.
I got temporary root using the kingroot apk. But it messed things up and I don't trust it anymore. None of the other mentioned methods worked for me either, maybe try the PC kingroot method
well this helps one thing

umm. . . when the no command option comes up just press the power button and the rest of options will appear. doesnt exactly solve your problem however unless you have the ZIP file to install, which is what I'm looking for.
What might happen if a ROM is used for another blu phone. ??
A similar phone as well.
Plz advise.
Damn! This thread just keeps going!
I haven't even looked here in a while, so I will bunch my commentary here. I'm also salaried now, so I bought into a OnePlus X (onyx), a more expensive cheapo device, so I do not use the 4.0L anymore.
As for rooting tools, I used the Kingroot APK successfully in the stock environment. I never tried flashing something SuperSU myself, but it could work. Is flashing a SU app possible from the fastboot interface?
And to Steve's question - it is technically possible to flash a ROM for a different device onto your own device, but is considered a bad idea due to the possibility of introducing incompatibilities and missing proprietary requirements. I feel like this would hold especially true to stock ROMs because the manufacturer probably has no interest in supporting anything more than the device that they are manufacturing for. Doing so removes many possible "compatibility" issues from even having to be considered, but I digress. In short, try to find a ROM made for your device and your device only.
Did you find the zip file for the recovery

umm. . . when the no command option comes up just press the power button and the rest of options will appear. doesnt exactly solve your problem however unless you have the ZIP file to install, which is what I'm looking for.

You dont need root to recover imei all you have to do is type *#*#84666364#*#* in your dialer and you will be entered in EngineerMode then go into connectivity ,CDS information and radio information phone 1 or 2 then you will see AT+ type something eg.A then backspace and select the first thing you see. Put a space after AT+ and then put you imei code here "IMEI" between these "" You can find your imei by removing your battery it willl be there. After sending command reboot and imei is back.
