[Q] Can the Ouya still be rooted

[steve4cr]

Hi
All the threads are old and have mixed results.
I picked up a Ouya at a thrift store for 15 bux. Would like to root but dont want to trash it. Is there a new method that works.

I powered it up and it took an update yesterday so its at the latest.

Thanks for the non-help but I have searched for over 3 hours on this site and many others. The threads are 2013 & 2014 in case you are wondering it is 5-15 and nothing new on this for 5 or 6 months.

Anybody out there who can actually help please respond. anybody with search button directions stfu.

Hi
Thank you for responding but no luck with that one either. Click install, shows me all the info it has access to, then pops a window "App Not Installed.

I'm not sure why non of the guides work for you. I used the root tool in ouyas own store the other day on an ouya my friend didn't want anymore and it worked fine.

Like a couple years ago when I rooted my first ouya I used fastboot and cwm. But I'm pretty sure there was an all in one ouya adb tool that would did everything you could possible need root cwm Roms backups I will have to take a look when I get home but I have the apk on a backup drive somewhere. I will try to find it for you.

Thanks, after much pounding around I got it rooted. Could not get the google apps working but no big deal.

So for those looking----it is still possible as of June 2015

Correct. I did it last night with a mix of Kingroot (older version, the new stops working at 18%) and the updated xposed and playstore zip file.
If anyone needs, and if it's allowed, I will post the files later.
