Make sure you run the line that goes
mount -orw,remount /system

That should remount /system as read/write.

I can't do that. Even entering adb shell is returning an error.

Code: 
[email protected]:~/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130522/sdk/platform-tools$ ./adb shell
/system/bin/sh: /system/etc/mkshrc[8]: id: not found
 [user=1901967]@androi[/user]d:/ $ su
sh: /system/etc/mkshrc[8]: id: not found
 [user=1901967]@androi[/user]d:/ # mount -orw,remount /system
sh: mount: not found
127 [user=1901967]@androi[/user]d:/ #
As a result, I was able to install su and busybox, but busybox isn't working.

[CODE @android:/ $ su
sh: /system/etc/mkshrc[8]: id: not found[/CODE]

The weirdest thing is at the time the line above appear in the terminal, I have a message on the TV screen saying "Superuser granted to shell", which is confirmed by the Superuser app log.

You've broken something somewhere along the way. Did you happen to follow one of the many poorly written 1-click-fail-scripts floating around the Ouya forums? It seems that /system/etc/mkshrc is calling for the program `id` which is usually a symlink in /system/bin/id that points to /system/bin/toolbox. Maybe you did something to break the id symlink or the toolbox binary it points to. `mount` is also *usually* a simlink from /system/bin/mount to toolbox. this says you somehow broke that one, too.

At any rate, it looks like you are actually getting a root shell, hence the '#' prompt.

I did try the following scripts :
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266 for rooting my Ouya
- the one provided at the beginning of this topic for the Google Play hack
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295645 and this one in an unseccessful attempt to flash a CWM based recovery.

After all that, I did several factory resets but found that the Google Play and Google Settings apps were still installed since they are system apps.

How can I do a true reset of the firmware, which will hopefully solved my broken root problem ?

Basic answer, you'll need to reload the stock image from recovery.
You can get the latest Ouya stock image from https://ouyafw.skumler.net/

I don't know if you can use the stock recovery to flash it, the first thing I did was get CWM installed before I touched anything on mine.
Someone else might know more on that.

Installed XPosed, rebooted, and now I just get a black screen. I still do have ADB access, though. I'll probably have to grab one of the OTAs and flash it (which means I need to find a keyboard). Any tips on an easier method?

I have installed Xposed and this play store mod but I am getting connection timed out when launching the play store. Here is my logcat. http://pastebin.com/5Tp6y0nM

Edit

I went back into Exposed are re-ran the installer and then rebooted. Once the ouya came back up I went back into google play and the license agreement screen appeared. Once I accepted the license, google play store loaded without issue.

Working Perfectly!!
You may need to avoid ADB so you don't run into errors.
Instead:
1. Sideload xposedinstaller and install from ES File explorer
2. open XposedIntaller, click install/update then reboot
3. Sideload Mod_PS4Ouya.apk
4. open XposedInstaller and enable PS4Ouya
5. reboot
6. sideload google apks in files to push folder
7. use file explorer to move apks to system app
8. change permissions of sideloaded apks to chmod 644
9. Reboot

App demonstration videos aren't working for me. Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?

thanks.


edit: probably related to: Youtube not working for me since I installed the Play Store.

I am having a few issues with es file explorer having permission to paste files into the system/app folder.

Any ideas?

I forgot to use the tools section of es to make the system folder writable. That got it working.

How do you run a .bat file from ES Explorer/Root Explorer? When I go to run it, it just opens in a text editor or asks me what I want to open it in. I feel like i'm missing something obvious?

Is anyone else having a number of issues with some apps force closing as soon as you start them? It appears that any apps that use Googles Ads seem to crash. Checking logcat seems to indicate that there are some pieces of Google's ad framework still missing. Here's an exception from a movie trailer app I downloaded. Other apps that have Google ads crash with similar exceptions.

Did this and got everything up and running. Thanks BTW.

But now @ every boot and @ random intervals I get "Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped." Although the apps will all run, except Pandora and Chrome.
