CWM Installation Fails - Ouya (!) Screen

[boo13oo]

I am unable to post in the development forum yet, so I am posting here. For the past several weeks I have been having trouble installing CWM Recovery. I've tried using the Mod Collection tool and manual installation and still received the Ouya (!) screen. With the new Ouya update, I needed CWM to work to preserve root. If you are also having issues installing and booting to CWM, the below worked for me.

Steps I used to gain Root, setup Play Store and install CWM:

1. Sideload and run One Click Root
2. Sideload Jrummys Busybox Installer & Install Busybox
3. Sideload and Install Xposed Framework
4. Sideload ModCollection4Ouya 3.6
5. Open Xposed Framework and check ModCollection4Ouya 3.6 as a module
6. Open ModCollection4Ouya 3.6 and performed the following:
7. Install Play Store and Select "On" for Play Store option
8. Install CWM Recovery
9. Reboot into CWM but receive error Ouya (!)

Below corrected my CWM Install Issue and allowed me to update to the newest firmware:

• Open Play Store & Install Busybox Installer (Stephen Stericson version)
• Open Busybox installer - smart install automatically installed busybox
• Open Mod Collection 4.0 and reinstalled CWM
• Reboot to CWM
• CWM Recovery worked
• Open ModCollection4Ouya 3.6 and select option to Preserve SU
• Reboot then install upgrade

Good Luck and hope you experience the same results! It seems the Jrummy Busybox version didn't work for me. After installing the other version, CWM installed successfully.

Where can I download Mod Collection 4.0 or did you mean Mod_Collection4Ouya.3.6.apk?

@Toxic_Dragon - you are correct. I meant ModCollection4Ouya version 3.6. I've updated the original post. Thanks!

I had issues with ADB and fastboot until i changed the drivers for the ouya manually for every step in the device manager.

THANK YOU!!! You are the freaking man!!!! I have wasted hours trying to figure out how to fix CWM and I couldn't get anything. Finally stumbled upon this post, and I am kicking myself for not finding it sooner. Thanks a ton! :laugh:

I had used a different method to root and install CWM, but in order to fix the problem, I literally followed every step in order starting with sideload One Click Root. It was redundant and un-necessary, but it produced the results in the end by following step by step.
