[Q] Trouble trying to install CM11

I'm trying to install CM11 to my Ouya. ADB recognizes it as a device but when I "adb reboot boot loader" the device reboots, screen goes black for several minutes and then it just boots right to Ouya OS.
I had the device rooted a while back and I think CWM was installed. I did a factory reset though a few months ago. Could I have bricked this thing?
I have also tried a usb keyboard and hitting alt+print+i but get the same result.

I had similar issues a rooted ouya with CWM Recovery on but I could not boot into recovery, I got the black screen and if I hit the home key I just got the standard android recovery not CWM. I read that this could be due to an OUYA update. As hard as I tried I could not reload CWM. I finally fixed my issue by reloading Superuser. For some reason I was then able to run one click recovery and it reloaded CWM Recovery for me. Since then I have upgraded recovery and loaded CM11. Only issue I have is now I don't get the boot menu just straight to CM11.
I am just a user not a programmer but I believe the issue may be that your recovery was overwritten by the ouya update and then you are unable to load CWM because permission issues.
Try hitting the home key when you have the blank screen, if you get Andriod Recovery then you seem to be where I was.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the advice.
I managed to make it into stock recovery but can't seem to get to CWM still. I reloaded Superusuer and the tried Oneclickrecovery. ADB shows success and say's I should be in CWM but I just get a blank screen.

[Q] Unit stuck in Rbox boot loop

I mistakingly...( at 3AM!) installed the Rbox boot menu. It was not intentional....just late at night and I hit the wrong button! In any case I am now stuck in a loop the boots to the Rbox boot menu with 2 options....load kernal or boot to recovery. Load kernal just reboots to the same menu screen and boot to recovery gives me a failed update message after which in several minutes the unit boots back to the original Rbox boot menu. This particular unit had been previously rooted, updates blocked and loaded. The bootloader was unlocked with the FTV utility and that's when I hit the wrong button and loaded the Rbox boot menu.
I have tried connecting to the internet directly....( my router blocks updates) with no success. Is there anyway to get out of this even if it means updating and losing root or do I now have an extra boat anchor on my hands?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried connecting a usb keyboard and entering the keyboard command: Alt + i + PrntScreen
You have to enter all three keys at once and repeat as many times as it takes for the screen to maybe boot in clockworkod.

Hi,
Yes.... I stumbled across that today on searching. I tried with a little iPazzport usb keyboard/mouse that I use to program with, but I'm going to try another keyboard as well just in case it is the keyboard. I tried at least 20 times over and over again with nothing at all happening. I appreciate the suggestion though and will try again with the different keyboard tomorrow. I'm a little burned out on it tonight! I'm afraid what I might have done is to change from the CWM bootloader to that one when I did it. Hopefully not, but there's no way to tell since all I can get now is the loop when I boot the unit up. I tried not only when I got the failed update message, but at all different times during the boot operation just to see if i got any response at all, but nothing so far seems to break into that cycle.
Thank you!

fxbill,
Sometimes you just have to walk away and then get back to it later. I use a low cost dell usb keyboard and what I found out is that you have to do press all three keys at once in unison and at a steady rate until you get a response. Just try to press all three at once and I guarantee you'll get it done. Try it when you're ready to get back to it. Have a good night!!!

If you get failed update when selecting recovery that means you didn't install CWM. If you did a full unlock, you can use fastboot to boot into CWM. If you didn't do a full unlock, then you're pretty much screwed.

Well.... CWM was in.... I got the install from zip screen, but at that late hour and as tired as I was it's possible that I somehow removed it when installing your boot program. If so then I can live with it and yet I will try again tomorrow to see if I can fast boot or use a different keyboard for trying to alt/pnt scrn/i and see if that works.
I did do another unit tonight and installed your boot program before installing CWM,,,,again in error, but this time it booted to the same screen and then rebooted back into the preloaded unit! I then installed CWM and everything else went smoothly. I'm assuming your program is still in there, but is there a way to verify that it's still there? I updated to the newer 4.0 firmware with no issues and Netflix is again working and the firmware shows 4.0 installed. Is there really any reason to update any father than that? Is there anything new in the latest rooted firmware that justifies updating any more than I already have? If not I'll leave it as is...everything works extremely well at present.
Thanks so much for the advice and help!

@fxbill, so were you able finally to get this fixed? i'm in same situation when my device constantly reboots after counting down to 0 in rboxes menu . tomorrow i will by trying to find an USB keyboard and see whether im in luck of getting to recovery. hopefuly that works. i'll keep you posted.

[Q] F240L Stuck in recovery, won't boot to system or anywhere except to the recovery.

I was on stock F240L20D, 4.4.2 Kitkat, rooted, PhilZ Touch 6 installed. I've tried some ROMs before but reverted back to this one. So, basically, I've been to the recovery several times, but only used the ADB method to access it, and I've made several backups too.
However, one thing that happened today has frustrated me completely. Long story short, I thought about making a backup again, although this time, I used the power keys to get to the recovery instead of the ADB method, backup completes successfully, nothing wrong just yet, but just as I tap on 'Reboot System Now', it boots back in to recovery.
I've tried everything, tried using all the ADB commands, even going through all the options in the recovery, but it always seems to boot back in to the recovery. Really can't figure out what's happening. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
UPDATE: So I've flashed a KDZ, the Lollipop one using the LG Flash Tool. It's taking a bit too long to start, currently stuck at the U+ Lte logo. I hope it gets fixed.
UPDATE 2: It says Android is upgrading, YES YES!!!!! This is so exciting, but I'm still not convinced.

With most of cwm version after 6.4.7, any time you use power + volume up to access the recovery, you will get the boot loop. Go here and down load the zip file from the first post. Flash the zip and you should be go to go.

[ZE500CL] HELP: lost recovery access via VOL UP+POWER (but not via adb!)

I'll try to be as short as I can:
I rooted my phone (with temp TWRP recovery), freezed some bloatware, installed link2sd and used it for a while, then I decided to update it, so I removed root, unfreezed bloatware and uninstalled link2sd: OTA update ended with an error, and it never showed again, so I downloaded the latest firmware from Asus and manually applied the update.
Everything seems to work fine, except one (BIG) thing: I totally loose the ability to access recovery via VOL UP + Power: everytime I try to do it, it stucks on bootlogo until I turn it off.
The weird thing is that I can flawlessly go into recovery via "adb reboot bootloader"!!
What the hell is happened? Is there a solution? I don't want to be stuck in a bootloop one day without being able to enter recovery...

SOLVED!
Hi, I'd like to report that after last update, manually applied via recovery mode (loading the whole Asus firmware from the sd card), everything's fine, although I don't know why.
Maybe because I did a factory reset (thing that didn't worked in the past) and not rooted the phone again, but who knows.

Fire TV Box Gen 1 (Bueller) Rebooting Isssue

Hi All,
I am having issues with my FireTV Box Gen 1 (Bueller). The issue is when i turn off the TV and the box basically after 30 minutes or so, reboots and goes to recovery and get stuck there. I have to reset it by pulling power to bring it to the OS. When rebooted, it will work fine, but when i turn off the TV, it does same thing.
FireTV Gen 1 is Rooted and using rbox’s latest and last update. Bootloader is fully unlocked and TWRP is installed.
I have formatted and installed the OS and same issue.
Is there a way to fix this? if yes, please advise
If no to above, can i revert back to Stock Recovery? if yes, how?
I tried searching form, i can only find unroot option if you have clockwork recovery

If you mean the bootmenu cold-boots into twrp instead fireOS, try wiping cache...

i figured it out. there was an update pending latest update. somehow rbox modded firmware downloaded that and it was scheduling to install. i cleared the cache and disabled ota and took care of it.
