As the title suggests
I've just bought an OUYA and I stupidly updated it to the latest firmware and now that I want to root the thing it appears from a significant amount of "googling" that this is not currently possible.
Can anyone confirm if im stuck or if this is still possible to do could someone please point me in the direction of a guide?
I've tried installing RootMyOuya.1.1.apk and it refuses to install
thanks
Find "towelroot-v2.apk" not v3 or later. still working! I tried today.

I'll give it a shot, thank you kindly
I'm having trouble finding anything other than v3, any chance of a link?
thanks again
Ok, I can confirm that you can root a virgin OUYA on chickcharney patch2 using towelroot v1 (im sat playing Hearthstone now!)
install and run towelroot v1 apk
install and run su - obtained via ouyatoolbox
install cwm via oneclick
--optional
install xposed framework
install Mod Collection for OUYA
turn off auto updates
install google play
if anyone wants files and a bigger/deeper guide let me know and i'll write one up

Managed to find tr1 and 2. Neither worked, both say device not supported. Was really lookimg forward to rooting ouya and modding the ishhh out of it, but i underestimated how hard it would be. Tried using ouya toolkit, oneclick root apk and towelroot, none have worked so far, im on the latest ouya firmware.
HELP!! :crying::crying:

Ur the best man!! Will play around with this after ive finished installing xp on my laptop, you think it might work better?
I can't remember what site it was but last night I came across a post about people trying to root the ouya with newest firmware. It took a little time( install time) but it was pretty easy. First download and install the android SDK( it takes awhile but I couldn't find the ouya ABD interface drivers anywhere else) and then download and install kingo. It rooted my ouya no problem. And that you need the exposed installed. Don't get the latest version. The newest is ***********v32.zip I think. You want v29.zip and of course you'll need ps4ouya.zip as well. If you use the v32.zip the play store won't work. I think that should help a lot of people. I know this isn't the clearest explanation but I don't clams to be an expert lol

I saw a video of someone using kingroot on their verizon galaxy note 4 and they were rooted. That person was running kitkat when i tried it on my note 4 running lollipop nothing happened. Should i downgrade or wss the video fake. Is it possible to downgrade using a mac.

Search is your Friend ....
As far as i Know it doesnt work on lollipop & only works for KitKat. it doesnt work for mine on Lollipop. Also its not a Perm Root, Root is lost upon reboot
Search the Form there is a bunch more info on it
Yup, only works on kitkat and it's temporary only.
The devs are working on a permanent solution. I personally have held off with trying king root because I don't trust it.
I am downgrading and i am going to attempt kingroot because i wanna get rid of bloatware and i never turn my phone off unless i really need to.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
I believe there is a debloater that's been out for lollipop that doesn't need root.
I also think I've read that even if you don't reboot, over time or after messing with certain parts of the system, you'll lose root.
Debloater doesn't remove bloatware, only disables it.
Kingroot has been reported to cause random reboots, which is why I haven't tried it in spite of the fact that I rarely if ever reboot my phone either.
Also, something I've come to wonder... What good would deleting bloatware be if those no custom ROM with reworked partitions? We wouldn't be gaining any space from the ROM partition (where system apps are stored) But we can already delete all the updates for system apps (since they go in internal storage instead of overwriting the original app in ROM storage). At least this is the way I've come to understand it from using Titanium Backup on my old devices.
I didn't think king root was actually rooting your main system rom? Thought that was why you had to use multisystem and from that point you would install the rooted kitkat rom, etc..
But if kingroot does root the factory system, then you could simply root with kingroot remove the bloatware then it wouldn't matter if you lost root after a reboot. Correct?
I am not sure but i am trying to downgrade my note 4 right now and i hope it doesnt brick

I was wondering if I went through this temp root path and modified my hosts file as well as using "SDFix: KitKat Writable SD" to give me write access to sd. Would they stay that way modified host file and write access if I hard rebooted and removed king root or SU after doing those things originally with root permissions?

You can downgrade to NJ5 4.4 rom and get temporary root with King root, if you're on OAF. However, if you took the OTA upgrade to OF1 or above, you cannot downgrade. You stuck with LL with no way to root.

I dont think kingroot is root at all.
I dont understand the term "temporary root"
Even if its temporary, changes it makes to the system should be permanent yet they go back to normal.
I tried using system app uninstaller and it said "succeeded "
I tried to use AdAway and it said "successful"
I even opened up the system/hosts file to confirm the change was made, yet after reboot everything went back to stock.
Not only that, but kingroot comes with FULL SCREEN ads that pop when you exit application that requested root access, and they are annoying playing videos and eat up your data.
I think kingroot creates virtual root environment inside RAM. Changes made inside RAM do not apply to device storage. Nothing is changed to say the very least but allot of garbage and spyware is added.
Even after uninstalling the app, its service is left behind and you gotta remove thru "Settings/applications/All"
Smart Chinese should have put their knowledge into cracking the locked bootloader instead of creating fake trash like this.

I was playing with my buddy's note4 (sm-n910v) this evening and I used Kingroot's Purify app. After running it, I went through every option and it finally gave me a link to the Kingroot.net download (XDA's wouldn't parse for me).
I installed Kingroot and ran it... fail.
Rebooted
Ran Purify again, followed by Kingroot.... Root Successful!
Ran RootChecker..... haha... tripped the knox.... auto reboot. (Note to self... don't run RootChecker)
Ran Kingroot.... much faster root success this time!
Verified root by turning on the root explorer in ES File Explorer's options.... Root was asked for and granted.
Instead of removing the bloatware using ES File, I opted to give the Purify app another try in hope of getting root to stick.
That's when I came Purify's 'Debloater' app.... It started ok, so, I handed my buddy his phone and told him."Better get some while the getting is good!".... He had about 30 apps checked when I stopped him and suggested he make a back up before he does anymore!
Apps uninstalled successfully and my buddy rebooted (ok...I guess we're done).
After reboot.. root was gone but, so were the 30+ apps!
Long story short.... Getting root is possible... You just have to get root when you need it and be decisive in your actions.... Remember anything that trips the knox and try to avoid it!... Work Purify and Kingroot back and forth like a couple of wedges... I think I was close to getting root to stick permanently but, my buddy had to go home and he took all the toys with him
I guess the next step is getting rid of, disabling or re-configuring the knox.... So, please read up on the knox system change detect-o-matic before trying to uninstall it... Do it right and you'll be a champ!
But... if you automate it for everyone with a small program and you'll reach 'Hero' status for sure!
Oh yeah.... That Note4 was running Lollipop 5.1.0 (or 5.0.1?... I didn't pay much attention)
Hope that helps
<8^)
P.S. Sorry if I posted incorrectly ... I'll get it right one of these days!
Hey all,
For starters, disclaimer:
I am not responsible for thermonuclear war, bricks, and or your parents grounding you for said brick.
This method is VERY finicky, and very hard to reproduce. I cannot promise anything. It worked for me.
You need to download the following apks:
- KingRoot (Newest available on kingroot.net)
- KingUser (Newest available on kingroot.net)
- SunShine (3.0+, available @ theroot.ninja)
Once you have downloaded all of these apk files, follow the below steps:
1. Go to Settings ==> Security ==> Check "Allow Installation of Apps from Unknown Sources" and agree to the prompt.
2. Go to Settings ==> About ==> Software Info ==> Tap "Build Number" 12 Times.
3. Go to Settings ==> Developer Options ==> Check "USB Debugging"
4. Now install all the APK files by clicking on them.
5. Ensure you are connected to a reliable WiFI network.
6. Ensure you have Location Services/GPS and High Accuracy turned on in Settings.
7. Open KingRoot and select "Try to Root" when prompted.
8. Now, wait for it to complete. We don't expect KingRoot to succeed! We only expect it to display a prompt and then fail! If it reboots, you need to reopen KingRoot and try again.
Keep closing (through your Recent Apps Menu) and re-opening/re-running KingRoot until you get a prompt that says "Google cannot verify this app, would you like to Install KingUser?" click "Install" any similar message will work, i.e. "Google recommends you not install this app, would you like to install KingUser?" but a similar message must display, if it doesn't display, re-run KingRoot.
9. After the message goes away, and KingRoot fails, close the app, and open KingUser.
10 Verify that KingUser says you are rooted.
At this point, you are temp-rooted. You cannot write to the /System partition. You can only use apps that don't require /System access (very few).I recommend you cough up the $25 for SunShine. Only follow the instructions from here if you have $25 and want to unlock your boot loader, go S-OFF, and get Permanent Root & R/W /System Access.
11. Now, open SunShine and follow the on screen prompts, grant it SU access when prompted. It will reboot (Do not re-open SunShine as instructed after reboot!!!).
12. Repeat the steps 7-9 outlined above to re-gain temp-root.
13. NOW re-Open Sunshine and follow the on-screeen prompts.
Congrats! You are S-OFF, Unlocked, and your warranty bit returns an "OFFICIAL" status in bootloader mode. Now to install TWRP.
14. Download TWRP from here: http://android.cmphys.com/twrp-m7vzw/ ON YOUR PC/MAC/LINUX BOX
Make sure to use this and not the stock TWRP build! The stock TWRP build doesn't have full Lollipop encryption support (as of 5/29/15).
15. Reboot to bootloader with the volume buttons, or use ADB to reboot to bootloader.
16. Plug your phone into your PC and verify you see it when you run "fastboot devices" from CMD/Terminal.
17. Run "fastboot flash recovery /pathtotwrpimghere/nameoftwrpimg.img".
18. Run the volume buttons to select "Recovery".
19. Download the flashable SuperSU .zip for 2.46 and transfer it to your phone while in TWRP.
20. Install the SuperSU .zip from TWRP and reboot.
21. Uninstall KingUser.
You are rooted and S-OFF. Enjoy your ROMs/Kernels freely.
This method is highly finicky. It worked for me, and it can for you! it took me about an hour to get KingRoot to display the message asking to install KingUser. Just keep trying!
Good Luck!!!
Anyone else get this to work?

In fact, all I had to do was download KingRoot and it actually successfully rooted my phone. I checked Root checker just in case and it says Root access is properly installed.

You won't have true write protection disabled until you turn s-off if you haven't already. Other wise apps you remove and settings you change with root will revert each time you reboot.

This is true. With these phones, root itself is almost moot. S=off is what I really want. Sure u can use titanium backup, but u CANT remove system apps, change boot animations, edit build.prop, etc... All because of.the built in write protection which u need s=off for... Ppl need to just bite the bullet and get sunshine. I got it the day it finally came out for us (back on 4.4.2) and been thankful for it every day since...

How many times did you guys have to run KingRoot? And do you run it to completion each time? I've run it at least 10 times on my device, it fails every time, and I have yet to see a prompt as described in the OP.

Now I'm having this problem. I kept running kingroot, then it rebooted on me and told me I couldn't try to run it any more. So I uninstalled it thinking that would clear the problem. Now every time I try to install it it errors out and says "App not installed". I have no idea what to try next. Anyone have any hints?

Unfortunately most of us in this section won't be able to help. Your best bet is going to the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 section. Coming for help with your note 4 in an HTC section is like asking some people who know Chevy if they could help you fix your Ford. The expert advise would be ask the Ford experts and not the Chevy experts.
RUU is a term for HTC phones: Rom Update Utility. Samsung devices use Odin and I have no idea how to use it. I would help if I could.
The correct area for your device:

What does the repair phone option do? And I guess I wasn't too clear. My phone, for the most part, is fine. Everything works fine *except* that KingRoot won't install correctly. All my other apps are fine.
So I'd like to know how I can use Chainfire's new systemless root to then still use Android Pay. I downloaded the Android binaries from Google for the 5X and proceeded like so:
(I was already rooted with the normal method that modifies the /system parition)
1. Run flash-all.bat to flash all partitions and go back to stock.
2. Install the modified boot.img from Chainfire
3. Install the latest TWRP 2.8.7.2
4. Reboot into TWRP
5. Install using adb sideload from TWRP the beta SuperSU
6. Reboot into phone and set it up... restore Titanium Backups...
The problem is that Android Pay still won't let me add a card to it....
Did I do something wrong in this process here?
Would love it if someone who has done this could help me out here..
Thanks!

Did you hide/disable/uninstall supersu and reboot before opening the Android pay app?
If not, do that, and clear app data for Android pay. Then try to set it up.
Android pay and root don't work. If you want Android Pay to work, you need to disable root anytime you want to use it and even then it may not work.

Systemless root does work with Android Pay when root is on. At the very least, you should be able to add cards. Which means you should be able to use pay in general. Safetynet checks in Pay are not that strict.
Did you flash TWRP and boot into recovery or did you boot it from fastboot USB?
Have you tried simply putting the zip on the device and flashing it from there?
Did you let TWRP install SU/Root in the prompt before rebooting? (The answer should be no)

To answer,
You can read exactly what I did above. I did not let TWRP install SU for me, and rebooted using the power button I believe after installing the Beta SU from TWRP's ADB sideload..
I'll try again tonight as I KNOW Android Pay DOES work with the new Systemless Root, I just haven't gotten it right on my first try here.

Have you tried doing Android Pay before restoring stuff from Titanium Backups? There is a slim possibility that it may be altering something from system, making it fail the safetynet checks.
I would try flashing the zip from TWRP instead of sideloading as well. Just in case.

Uh... how exactly can you know something "DOES" work if your one and only attempt at making it work was a complete failure and no one else has been able to get it to work?
Not saying Android Pay can't work with systemless route in one form or another. But to make a statement as if something is of fact when you've proven nothing to support that fact is a bit idiotic.
But hey, people said Einstein and Tesla had idiotic ideas. So here's to hoping.

The same could be said for not doing your own research. This is a section for helping others
Right at the bottom: http://www.xda-developers.com/chainfire-releases-root-for-android-6-0-without-modifying-system/
Update: Reddit user MajorNoodles has informed that Android Pay works on his Nexus 5. Chainfire, on his Google+ post, does mention that the working of Android Pay is by accident and not by design. He expects Android Pay to be updated in the future to counteract this.

Probably something to do with the order I'm doing things in.. Or as mentioned, the Titanium backup could definitely do it..
You know, I wouldn't even Root if there was a good way to block ads without - but most of what I've seen isn't quite there for me.
Again, thank you @PhoenixTank

If you're rooting to modify the hosts file to block ads.... that changes system, and will trip Android Pay's SafetyNet checks. The best adblocking I can get without changing System is Adblock Plus for Android. (Root on ABP seems to only allow some sort of localhost proxy network rerouting instead)
FYI Safetynet Playground trips for me, but Android Pay works just fine.
UPDATE: Weird, now I pass, must be because I recently re-encrypted my phone.
So now it's confirmed, I can use Android Pay and not trip SafetyNet API. Neato.
Thanks! That hosts file was it.. A fresh install and I'm gold with Safetynet Many thanks all around!
You're very welcome!
Right now I'm using adblock plus + a "patcher" that's pretty "lucky" heh.
Hi there everyone !!
I gone a long way till now...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/how-to-enable-oem-unlocking-bricked-t3249003
And now I'm trying to get full Stock phone with Encryption, Locked oem and systemless Root without No warnings. = S E L R N
As far as I went was S R N when i tried to encrypt it got stucked on colorful bubbles screen.
Anyone got idea how to reach this ?
Did somone checked is AdAway after changing location of host file and symlinking it, stops Google Pay/Makes additional warning while booting ?
BY mistake I made a thread in general note4 section.

Anyone willing to help out?
EDIT: was able to root once but then everytime it just reboots the phone - at first cause was I didn't accept the "installation of the application" battery is low so maybe that could be the the reason..

I had the same problem a few hours ago. Kingo Root refused to work at all, so I had to use the Kingroot app. It made my phone lag like crazy after it rooted it, but it eventually worked. When you use either Kingo Root or Kingroot, what's the exact error that you get? Are you using Root Checker to see if you achieved root?
I always did a factory reset before starting the root process, it just seemed to make things go smoother. At least it would stay stable long enough to get all the adb stuff done. (Barely though )

I was able to root once and run the script and it changed the CID or whatever it was. Now I simply cannot get temp root at all to finish the bootloader unlock process. Tried PC version and Android version so many times now it just reboots and reboots.

That sucks, to be honest it's been awhile since I did the unlock process. Maybe something changed with the way that app roots. Have you already tried an older version of kingroot? I know you've probably tried all this stuff but sometimes things get overlooked.

Rooted once with the newest one and it didn't reset even once. But then it just resets everytime. I did another factory reset so we shall see. I'll keep on trying.

It worked once for me was able to use the unlock script but it was the part #1 of the process, so far I am unable to root again to fully unlock it. Been trying since yesterday the phone reboots when trying to root.

That's great! Did you have to do anything different or did kingroot just finally work long enough to get the job done?

The kingroot 5.0 worked on second try.. so no idea why the older ones didn't work.
Would you happen to know which rom supports more languages other then default ones? shipping this phone to Europe tomorrow, don't know how stable CM roms are.
