[APP]Root My Ouya (root without PC) (8/11/2013)

[=JKT=]

Thanks for this app. Worked perfectly!

Already done Thank you! Is there any good alternative launcher?

I just stick to ouya launcher because if I run something like *nova launcher* I start feeling like this is android and then I try to use it like my phone and then I realize most of the android ecosystem is touch based. With ouya launcher this unit is a htpc/gaming console with an added bonus that ~some~ of my android apps work with it. Haha

But seriously, nova launcher is pretty solid on it.

Another question. How to go back on stock unroot?

Try doing a factory reset.

Have you tried nova recently? The Ouya devs accidentally broke alt launchers a few updates back. Even if another launcher is set, pressing the home button returns you to the stock ouya launcher. Unless there's a way around this?

No, I haven't for a while. I pretty much only use three or four apps so ouya launcher seems fine.

Okay, so I have done nothing, but run the rooting apk file and it already said status: rooted before clicking the button. I didn't have superuser before though and now it is definitely rooted so thanks for this easy method. If I want to unroot the console at any point and get it back to stock, do I just factory reset the device in the advanced settings? Is this confirmed to completely unroot the device or do I need to do jump through hoops and flash clockwork mod recovery and then flash the latest OTA and then somehow remove the custom recovery if I want to completely restore it to stock or does flashing the OTA do that for me? Thanks in advance!

Please try to keep questions for your device in a thread about your device. You will probably have better luck with towelroot. It has sucsessfully rooted many devices. Get it here.

Does not work for me anymore after latest update :crying:

I realy need root for my Lightpack attached to my Ouya

Can a admin please change my signature?????
I did not add that, i think my account was hacked or something, i cannot edit it on my account options.

 

[disorder78]

Same here. The application will not install.

I got a answer from Ouya: Unfortunately rootmyouya does not seem to work well since the latest update however the ability to root in general has not been removed. The creator of that apk will need to update it to function with the latest firmware.

 

[disorder78]

Ah okay. I thought I messed my system up. Thanks

 

[frickinjerms]

Maybe try towelroot? I'm on cm11 and happy as can be but it's worth a shot perhaps? Then just install SuperSU from the play store and profit?

Try the original manual method of rooting the OUYA.

Can't I have no windows computer.

Can't I have no windows computer.

Mac? Linux? The root procedure is just a series of ADB commands, so it's really platform independent as long as you've got ADB working.

 

[disorder78]

My computer won't detect my ouya : ( Plus it would be way more easier if this app was fixed. I'm still not rooted and I'm pissed at OUYA now. I wonder if the hotfix will fix this issue?

 

[mcord11758]

You can use wireless adb as long as you have adb on your comp

This does not work anymore, nor towelroot.

Just tried it both ways :crying:
