CWM Installation Fails - Ouya (!) Screen

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:
Sideload and run One Click Root
Sideload Jrummys Busybox Installer & Install Busybox
Sideload and Install Xposed Framework
Sideload ModCollection4Ouya 3.6
Open Xposed Framework and check ModCollection4Ouya 3.6 as a module
Open ModCollection4Ouya 3.6 and performed the following:
Install Play Store and Select "On" for Play Store option
Install CWM Recovery
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.
Thanks for posting this, I will have time to try it to tomorrow, hopefully it fixes this issue for me as well!!

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

@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.

Need to install xposed framework in N910G

Hello all,
I need to install Xposed framework along with the apk in my N910G.
Currently my phone is working on DN5 rom by Dr. Ketan and is on Lollipop 5.1.1. As I flashed Dr.Ketan rom, now it shows as SM N920G
Please help me with the appropriate files for this phone/rom so that I can flash it using recovery and install the apk. I need to change the IMEI of the phone, hence I need xposed so that I can install some apps which can help me in changing the IMEI.
Many thanks in advance
Regards,
Hemanth
Anyone, Please help me with this
The phone model shown in settings doesn't matter, because it can be changed via build.prop

which version of xposed do I need? -1575 running marshmallow

I downloaded de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk but it said there was a compatibilty issue with my version of sdk and arm64-v8a.
Any install instructions that cover marshmallow on the 1575?
You need to XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64.zip found in the official xposed forum. Install the apk file as usual then you need to flash the framework zip file in recovery. Wipe cache/dalvik before rebooting to system.
The files are listed at the bottom, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58828974&postcount=1
Can we use xposed with systemless root or should we wait ?
Xposed runs with systemless root. But to note, it is preferable to install to system partition, the traditional method.

How to change Superuser without flash stock ROM and lose all data

Does anybody know if it's possible to change Superuser without having to flash stock ROM?
I'm on stock 7.0 and when I tried to install SuperSU I've got a bootloop​ (wrong version of SuperSU, there wasn't the wright version available yet) so I found a guide to root my device using another supersu (phh superuser) and it's working perfectly.
I wonder if there is a way to change from Phh superuser to SuperSU (now there's a compatible version with 7.0 available) without having to flash stock ROM again and lose all the data.
(Sorry if there's a thread already talking about that but, if there is, I didn't find it)
There's a screenshot of the superuser app
Supersu installation using twrp
To install supersu you need twrp. You have to use systemless mode to install supersu. For systemless mode goto twrp then advanced>terminal
Type:
echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu
Then install Supersu.zip.
For latest supersu visit official supersu download page.
