[Q] How to install NVflash on windows 7 64bit - LG Optimus 2x

HI!
I want to install the brand new stock ICS build by Stefan Gündhör using NVflash (coming from stock 2.3.4). I followed the linked instructions on modaco (can´t post links) and installed the APX-drivers but discovered that i can´t run the NVflash.exe when i tried to test it, because i´ve got win7 64-bit OS on my pc?
I searched and read lots of threads but couldn´t find an answer.. I know this is a noob questions but does someone know how to make it run properly?
Thank you

I am on Win7 x64 and everything worked like a charm.
Have you tried running "flashme.bat" in the folder?
Installation NVFlash version (under Windows): = Full wipe, and also wipes Internal SD (not External though)
download the ROM, unpack it with WinRar, 7Zip or similar to any folder you want
take battery out of phone, press VOL + AND VOL - simulataneously, and while doing this plug the phone via USB to your PC
screen of phone remains black, this is normal, but you should hear a sound that you plugged the device. Probably you have to install APX drivers at this point if you are asked.
assuming that you already installed APX drivers: run the "flashme.bat" file in the folder where you extracted the ROM
if your device is properly connected, a terminal window will be opened for some minutes, showing the Flashing progress
once flashing is done, the window closes or notifies you that it is finished. Wait 30 seconds and then unplug phone, put battery back in and boot your brand new ICS!
That's already it No complications to be feared. Enjoy!

installed nvflash without a problem just few hours ago on win7 x64...
domfis explained the procedure well...
btw if your APX drivers weren't installed properly - try going into "My computer > properties > device manager" and check if there is an "!" under APX device (or something) - if it is > manually install the drivers from your hard drive (and specified folder where you've extracted the apx drivers)
hope we helped...

There have been multiple people that have been having odd results with updating through win7 x64.
I would suggest running the update on a 32bit machine.
will try after work..thank you..post result later.

Exactly. I tried for 4 hours on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit machine with no luck. Drivers were installing properly from the CD included with the phone, but the update would always fail at 98%. First try on my older Vista 32 bit machine the update went right through the first time with absolutely no issues.
Don't give up

I agree. However, I got the "failed to update" message even when I tried to install using my desktop computer that's running Vista32. BUT, then I installed the drivers (the ones that came with the update) to my Toshiba netbook (running Windows 7 Starter). The first update failed, same as before. So I disconnected my Zio, and rebooted it. I plugged it back into the netbook, ran the update installer, and it installed in like 7 minutes. Works great too. So far none of the issues that have been brought up on other threads.
edit: froyo 2.2.1 installed successfully on the Zio in less than 10 mins. i forgot to unmount the damn sd card and this was the really why my phone froze on the "modem download mode" and why the install GUI on pc dissapeared.
piece of cake! thanks a lot guys for posting this update and for creating the Zio forum.
installed the zio m6000 drivers directly from retail cd and ran the kyocera updater. i'm running Win XP on an old-school Dell optiplex.
anyway the update has been taking up at least 20 mins now. the screen on my Zio is black and the message "modem download mode" (i figure that its the tethering part) appears.
why is this update taking so long?
I've heard of varying times. Myself, it only took 6 mins or so, others had to wait more like 20-30.
What does the update program say?
OMG!!!! Its happening to me too! HELP!!! I get error code [0x50015001]. SDcard is out, uninstalled modem driver and installed the one that came with the upate, and still 98% then failed. Any help PLEASE?????

don't panic!
you have to follow the directions straight to the teeth on the install instructions.
1. make sure that you have the correct Zio usb drivers installed on your PC.
2. when the installer window (GUI) pops up, read the instructions. make sure that USB debugging is 'checked.' usb debugging option is the settings.
3. make sure that you unmount your sd card (not pulled out).
4. i reset my Zio to factory default right before i updated 2.2
5. if the update installer didn't appear at first then run it again and watch the progress.
Turn your phone off, Hold the volume + (up) and - (down) and the power button to place your phone into Modem Download Mode.
Make sure you have the Kyocera M6000 Drivers installed on your machine properly first. Once you are sure the drivers are installed correctly you can plug your phone in... wait a minute or so before you launch the update file.
I have installed the update to my phone 3 times with no problems other than when I extracted the file from the zip, I found it worked best running it without extracting the file. I have Win 7 32bit and it takes about 5 - 6 minutes to update.
If all else fails. You might have to download the sdk manager and use fastboot and flash the boot image then do the update and it will put the phone into recovery.

By the way, The updater says 5 - 10 minutes.
Success!!!! ok...I dont know if it mattered but I also installed the future dial suite on the zio disk...I went through first and erased all other zio usb drivers before reinstalling the disk versions...plugged in phone..drivers got the OK..then ran the installer..took 5 minutes plus 2 for reboot..lol..
Also...fyi..I did this to my wifes phone but forgot to factory reset...all of her programs and contacts including adw ex remained intact after update (smoke from ears) oh well..thank god for titanium backup..
So does that confirm my thoughts of when I updated the other day to fix a goof after my original update. My apps and everything were still there after the update. So that must mean that the update from 1.6 to 2.2 does not format the phone unless go into the phone settings and do a factory reset.
Im at the end of my chain, please help me. My zio is stuck on the black screen "modem download mode" ever since the 98% thing happened. Try after try i keep getting error code. Im using windows vista 32-bit, i got the disc that came with my zio, i think i may have opened/extracted the zips wrong or didnt install in order or something. I think i uninstalled everything to do with this from my cpu even the zips so i can start fresh with ANY help i can get.
Uninstall the drivers for your zio that you have currently installed. Install the drivers that are on the site for the update download. Turn the phone off, unplug your battery for about 10 seconds if you need to. Hold + up and - down on the volume and the power button to put your phone into Modem Download Mode manually. Give the computer a minute to recognize the device. Run the updater again and if it fails or gives you an error message I would reccomend downloading the updater again. I have been able to run the updater several times already with no issues.
If you are still having problems, you may need to download sdk-manager if you do not have it already. You can always just use fastboot to erase the system and then run the update. The update will then set up the system partition and update the phone.
I had to do this just a few hours ago after I semi-bricked my phone while messing around with the cpu. What I did to get it working again after "bricking" it was...
1. you will need to have the android folder for the sdk-manager in the root of your hard drive to make it easier, unless you know where it is located.
2. Open command prompt and change to the tools directory within the sdk-manager folder. Mine was located in C:\Android\SDK-Manager\Tools
3. You may need to find the AdbWinApi.dll file, mine was located in the platform-tools directory so I just copied it to the main Android folder then copied fastboot from the tools directory and also placed that into the main Android folder.
4. Put your phone into fastboot. Hold Volume + up and the send and power keys. You can do "fastboot -w" and it will wipe user data and cache. You will need to type "fastboot erase system" and it will erase the system partition. Now type "fastboot reboot" and your phone will restart.
5. Put your phone in Modem Download Mode and run the updater.

[Q] Problem Rooting LG Optimus 2x

Hi all,
So I've tried lots of forums on here about how to root my LG Optimus 2x but keep running into the same problem. Here are the steps I've been following:
Remove the battery.
Plug in your USB cable to your PC.
Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down.
Plug in the USB cable to your phone. (Keep the buttons held until Windows detects a new APX device.)
Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error icon.
Right click on the APX device.
Select 'Update driver software'.
Select 'Browse my computer...'.
Select 'Let me pick...'.
Select 'Have disk'.
Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-23\APX.
Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC).
Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'.
If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat.
I'm on a Windows 7 32 bit PC. When I check for an APX device in the Device manager I don't see one?
I do see an unknown device but when I try to click have disk etc for this, it does not recognise the drivers I'm pointing at and does not install. Can anyone help me with this?
Many thanks,
Derek
What version are you on? Froyo or Gingerbread? It seems you are flashing CWM but that's a longer way to root. You could always try Super one click, which works on froyo.
Yes, I am on 2.2. So Superoneclick is safe to use?
Absolutely. I used it when I was on froyo. Do you have any sensitive data however on your phone? Just in case you mess up, it's always good to have a backup of it. Probably hook up your USB cable to your pc/laptop and copy/paste the files to be safe.
Ok, thanks. So I have rooted the phone using SuperOneClick. Can you send me a link where I can find information about how to put on Gingerbread 2.3 now? Or maybe there is a better ROM I can use that that? Any advice would be appreicated.
Thanks,
Derek
You can try Cyanogen Mod, but that is experimental, even the RC one (Release Candidate).
You can try other leaked versions of ROMs, or you can download the latest v10L Gingerbread release. Before installing any ROM, I recommend doing a CWM or Nandroid backup.
The link to download gingerbread (it's only out in a few countries in Europe) is located in the development sub section of the LG 2x forums. However, try using the update tool and see if it tells you that you have an update.
I seem to have a bit of a problem. I took your advice and found a forum that helped me to do a Nandroid Backup. As part of the steps it asked me to install ROM manager from the Market. I started this and chose my phone model. I started the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery’ in the ROM manager but it stopped and said a permissions error occured. Then I tried to open other programs but they wouldn't open. I tried to reboot the phone but now it just flashes on the LG logo and won't boot up. Please help me with this.
Hello people on this great forum i am new here so i salud you all.
i installed Cyanogenmod 2.3.4 android on lg optimus 2x butt here is the thing how do you update to a newer version or do you have to unstall everything and start from scratch.any tips are welcome and is there a new version of cyanogenmod

[Guide] Absolute Newbie's Guide to Rooting a Streak 7 that has Stock Honeycomb

Obviously this guide owes a huge bunch of thanks to "TheManii", "Giveen" and other folks who can't be named on this forum. I have tested this on both a Streak 7 WiFi and a Streak 7 4G. In both cases they had the Stock Honeycomb already on them. So if you are coming from some other version of Android you may wish to reconsider
1) Download the Fastboot+ADB.zip file for Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.7 from the XDA Developers thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334487)
2) Download the Clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 file from the XDA Developers thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334487)
3) Go into Settings->Applications and turn on "Run Applications from Unknown Sources"
4) Go to Development Settings and select "USB Debugging"
5) Unpack the Fastboot+ADB file into a directory on your computer where you can find it again
6) Attach the Streak to your PC, and copy the "Drivers.zip" file from the root directory of the Streak (/sdcard) to the same directory where you unpacked the Fastboot file
7) Turn off your Streak after you have copied this file, and disconnect it from the PC
8) Unpack the drivers.zip file and find the "Setup.MSI" file. Execute this file to install the drivers you will need
9) Put your Streak into Fastboot mode - i.e. turn it off, then turn it on by pressing the Power button while holding the Vol DOWN (-) at the same time. This can take up to 20 seconds
10) You will get some red text followed by a white line saying something about Fastboot USB downloading is active
11) Connect the streak to the PC now, and it should install an Android ADB driver. Depending on what you have already setup you may get some drivers installed successfully, and some not. In general if you've been following this guide, you'll be ok
12) Open a command line for the folder where you have fastboot and your recovery image (ClockWorkMod) - in windows navigate to the folder, and hold the shift key while right clicking
13) On the command line type the following:
fastboot -i 0x413C flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the ClockworkMod or other recovery file)
14) On the command line type the following:
fastboot -i 0x413C reboot
15) Your device should now reboot
16) To get it to reboot into CWM, turn the Streak off, and then turn it on again while holding the Power Button and Volume UP (+) at the same time. This may take up to 30 seconds
From here you would follow the normal CWM options to install just the root files (Superuser7 for one example) or install a custom ROM.
It turns out steps 9 - 15 are also a great way to fix the problem when your Streak comes up and starts asking for a Password when you never setup a password. For some reason installing one of the custom ROMS also installs a version of CWM that is not as recent as the 5 series, which can lead to issues with the signature verification (i.e. when things go "boom", Android sees the partition as encrypted rather than just "locked"). So steps 9 - 15 allow you to put in a later CWM which does a proper wipe, and you're back in business. Have to reinstall apps, but the data is left alone.
Just in case I'm not the only one who has run into this
Ok, I used this guide to modify my Dell Streak 7 wifi. After I was done my screen kept flickering and I put it back to stock thanks to AndroidOVERALL putting together a post on how to complete the restore.
I have searched about the screen flickering but didn't find a resolution. Maybe I missed it, but it seemed that others had the same issue and it was either a hardware problem, the brightness was adjusted, or auto rotate was disabled. I tried adjusting the brightness settings and many other settings but the issue was not resolved until I returned everything to stock.
I have a Dell streak 7 wifi, US version with Honeycomb.
Please point me in the right direction if this issue has been resolved and I missed it. If not any suggestions?
Did you load a custom ROM after following these steps, or did you just reboot aft getting CWM installed. Usually the flickering comes from an issue with the video driver (so can be software if a bad driver, or hardware if it's only marginally in spec).
For any one who gets to the end of the steps and now can boot in go CWM but doesn't know what to do about getting rooted.
Very very Simple.
Download Superuser7.zip
http://www.tablet-cables.com/streak/tools/root/Superuser7.zip
Have your Streak booted normally and USB cable hooked up.
Move to the internal Memory Superuser7.zip
power off device
Power back on using Vol UP & Power Button
Select 2. Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card and press power
CWM will load.
Select install zip from sd card and power to enter.
select Choose zip from internal sd card and power.
use Vol UP to go backwards to your files and select Superuser7.zip and hit power
move down to YES - Install Superuser7.zip and hit power
thats it. its rooted.
goto ++++++++ Go Back+++++++
and reboot system now
and let it reboot.
Not necessary, but I'd suggest running Superuser and hitting the Knob icon top right (settings) and scrolling down and updating Super User.
Hope this helps someone who may not know where to get Superuser7 and what to do after following the great guide above.
thanks!
nothing sucks worse than a bad download -- happend TWICE! (dayum!)

It's saying that it is looking for an SD Card and not finding it, so that certainly makes sense. However, it sounds like it is looking for "update.pkg" rather than "superuser.zip", so is it possible you accidentally selected the "Update" option in CWM rather than the option to select a file?
He doesnt have clockwork mod installed, you must have CWM installed to flash zips
OK, I have a new Streak 7 t-mobile with HC 3.2. I plug it to the pc running xp sp3, and it needs drivers for MTP and Streak7. I pointed to the Fastboot+ADB folder I extracted for the Streak7 driver and it installed Android ADB Interface. Pointing there for MTP fails to find a driver. I can't get to the internal SD to get the drivers.zip because my computer won't recognize the Streak until the MTP driver is installed. After installing an MTP driver from the net, I can see the internal and external SD. I copied everything to a single folder labelled STREAK in c:\ and unplug the Streak from the pc. I put the Streak into fastboot mode (Volume - & Power), wait about 10 seconds, then plug it into the usb port. The computer see the Fastboot device and needs a driver. I point it to the STREAK folder (former Fastboot+ADB) but it didn't find a driver it liked. I tried to install manually, but there is no Android 1.0 or Android ABD Interface devices in my list. I do see Android USB Devices, but it is empty when I click on it. ANYBODY else get this, and how do I move forward? I followed the guide to the letter, and appreciate all the work & effort you guys put into making these root methods available. The Streak7 is a cool little device, but I think it will be cooler once I root it. I have rooted my Epic 4g and the wife's Evo 4g on this same computer, and I do have the Android SDK installed (even though I don't know how to use it).
OK, so I used all the same files I have here and was able to successfully get Clockwork flashed & gain root. I dunno why the xp machines don't like these files. I tried 3 other xp laptops before getting to my wife's Windows 7 laptop, which worked just as described in the very well-written guides. #MindBottling!
I cannot even find the drivers.zip in step6. WIN7x64 and a brand new tmobile streak 7. where is this thing? I looked through all the folders and subfolders.
Drivers.zip is in the main directory of the Streak. Open up ES File Manager or a similar program and you should see it. To get it to your PC, attach the Streak via USB and let it mount as external storage (default behavior I believe).
In my main directory on on my streak, using ES file explorer, i cant seem to find that file. I see acct, cache, config, d, ....etc folders, i scroll down, i see default.prop, init, init_recovery.rc, ...... var files, but i dont see drivers.zip. help I need to get honeycomb so I can use skype front facing camera, cause I understand froyo 2.2 can only use the back camera w skype.
Since this should be a common file for all SD7 units, can someone please email that file to me so i can get past step 6. [email protected]

From this I gather your Streak did not ship with Honeycomb. That would explain why you didn't find the file as that is something that I gather Dell added when they changed how they shipped it later on. I am not sure what the redistribution rules are for the file, which is why I haven't posted it myself.
That said, I also can't guarantee this process will work for someone starting with Froyo. I do know there may be an issue with which version of CWM you can use in that case. As such, you may want to check one of the other guides to be sure.

Explain please? Shouldn't drivers be present no matter how it's shipped? Mine came with Froyo with drivers, I OTA'd to HC and I still have them.
Ya I bought this from dell directly about 3 weeks ago. From what I have been reading on XDA, mine is definitely different. Its a tmobile streak 7.

Another thing I noticed is that even trying to load CWmod through fastboot, my computer does not recognize the DS7 in fastboot mode. The drivers in the fastboot+ADB zip file dont work on my computer as fastboot drivers (or maybe I should try another CPU). My cpu is an AMD 64; running win7 pro 64; i need some serious help.
I think I bricked!
Ok I followed the directions from here to root my tablet.

All went well! Everything worked and I was rooted! did the Superuser7. Clockwork came up and installed. All went right! So I was pleased. I figured I would later than put on a ROM cause it was late. Well was going to do so and tried to go into clockwork via ROM manager. Didn't work! Kept rebooting! So I figured I would try the pother way "Press Power and +" then click to Install from SD Card to go into Clockwork. That didn't work either! Then Now it won't reboot at all! I can get into fastboot and I can get into the bootloader. But that's it! I tried to do a Factory Reset and nothing! it just stays on the Dell boot screen. Anyway to fix the problem? If so, please give me step by step directions on how to do it.
Use of ROM Manager is generally discouraged due to unknowns about how the package will work with other ROMs. It also isn't clear to me which version of CWM you were using.
If you can get into fastboot, then you should still be able to use ADB, and I would suggest trying to reinstall CWM as indicated in the first message of this thread. That way at least you should be at a known good spot for us to try and help you get a custom ROM installed.

Didn't know about the Rom Manager issue. I guess it's only good to use on cell phones? Anyway, I am trying again, but the problem is my laptop is now not reading the tablet when in fastboot mode. I have followed all the step again. Including reinstalling the drivers. But since it's not reading the tablet. I can not reinstall CWM. The version I installed was the one from the 1st page. It's a fairly simple thing to do. But just need to get the device to be read by my laptop.
I have contacted Dell and explained to them the problem. They did say that I can return it to get it fixed. but still kind of hoping I can do it from home.

Not sure what you mean when you say the laptop is not reading the tablet in fastboot mode. When in fastboot it should NOT show up as attached storage. The best way to tell if it is "really" seeing the Streak 7 is in step 13 - which uses an id rather than a device name so that it should work even if the tablet isn't fully identified. If you try to perform step 13 while in fastboot, what message are you getting?

[Q] No matter what I try, I am unable to flash to the new bootloader!!!

I have been trying for don't know how long but am just unable to flash the new bootloader.

agree (see below)
I - Install APX (NVFlash Recovery) Drivers if not already installed. It starts a device driver wizard to help you install the drivers needed for NVFlash. It detects your system OS and gives on-screen instructions if running Windows 8. FYI the drivers are located under ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver folder.

Prepare Phone
-Power down phone
-Remove battery
-Hold VOL_DWN+VOL_UP & plug in USB connection from computer (note, your phone will not visibly respond but it will boot to APX mode quickly)
-Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error, or not if you have used NVFlash before
-Right click on the APX device
-Select 'Update driver software'
-Select 'Browse my computer...'
-Select 'Let me pick...'
-Select 'Have disk'
-Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to above (It's included in Stefan's zip)
-Select 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'
-Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC)
-Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'
If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat
Install the rom:
- Go to the folder where you unpacked Stefans rom
- Run Windows installer and follow instructions on screen, should be peace of cake for everyone!
- DONE
I think you should try either updating your drivers for the phone and if that doesn't work, try an older version then.

[TOOL] Ouya SuperScript - One click CWM, Root, Xposed & Play Store for Windows

Ouya SuperScript
By TehCrucible
v0.1​
INTRODUCTION
So I originally wrote this batch script to simplify and combine some of the most frequently used tweaks on the forums for my own sake, to speed up my tinkering with the Ouya but I've decided to clean it up and upload it in case anyone else wants to use it.
This script is designed as a "one-click" modification tool for a stock Ouya on the latest firmware. Please read this guide carefully.
I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR DATA LOSS. This script is built on the work of many others much smarter than myself and be sure to check the credits.
SO WHAT DOES IT DO?
In a nutshell:
- Install Clockworkmod Recovery
- Root Ouya
- Install Xposed Framework
- Install Google Play Store
WHAT DO I NEED?
- A Windows PC. I have included drivers for both x86 and x64.
- A Micro USB cable.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1. Update your Ouya to latest stock firmware
2. Install ADB drivers
3. Run the script
4. Play some games!
There's a more detailed step-by-step in the included README.txt file.
KNOWN ISSUES
- None

Thanks a lot for this. A lo of people have been asking about an automated method to get the play store running on the OUYA...
Great works. I just think of root my ouya....
A quick update:
It's working. I'm on the latest firmaware which is JZO54L-OUYA, kernel version 3.1.10-g780994a. Completely stock, but I had already rooted my OUYA.
Anyway, I enabled the Wireless ADB which will instantly show you the ip and port, installed the drivers for 64bit. Then open CMD and type: adb connect "iport"
Then I ran the superscript and everything went fine.
Hope this helps. I didn't even have to connect with a wire.
But I guess if you wanna install the CWM recovery you should be connected with a wire...
Hello guys!
I can see the Ouya in Device list in Control panel but I can't connect it in SuperScript. Any ideas?

Did you install the drivers right? If yes, then you should open the folder where you extracted your files and right click while holding shift then choose open CMD here. Then write: adb devices
If your device is there, it will give you an output of the IMEI and name of device
From there, you can then tell us what the error is and hopefully we can resolve it...

that happened to me yesterday, but I overcame it by have my computer plugged into the Ouya then reboot the ouya and as soon as the computer recognized it started the script and it worked.
but I have an issue too
So I can run the script everything works except getting the recovery installed. the command prompt acts like it successfully installed the recovery then the Ouya proceeds to reboot into recovery mode. When that happens I get this menu? Nothing happens when I push any buttons on my keyboard. This doesn't look like a custom recovery.
I have tried this many times, did a factory reset and started fresh however even after updating the device driver it doesnt recognize the ouya....

No it doesn't :angel:.
I think I had the recovery installed when I first got the device a long time ago and I used the manual method in this thread, but I'm not sure that it works any more. Also do you have a wired or wireless keyboard? By the way only the Bluetooth keyboard doesn't work. May be if you can install the recovery from that thread, then you can proceed to the next step. One last thing, I don't think you will need the recovery except if you want to install CM or something. Other than that, I never used it before.

Which version of windows are you on? Is it Windows 8 or 8.1? Do you know how to disable driver signature verification?
Also, what does it say when you connect? Just nothing, or not recognized or what? You can try the adb wireless, go into settings/development on the ouya and activate it. Then open CMD from the extracted folder and type adb connect "ip : port" then check by typing "adb devices". Let us know what happens after that.

I have tried both from my windows 7 computer and 8.1 laptop. It showed up just as you said "missing driver", sent it to the drivers part of SS to get the driver, it said it installed but when i run the SS and hit option "1" it comes up blank...

I can see from your posts that you tried everything and I'm so sorry that I'm just a user and not a developer or something. May be you can try sideloading terminal and try CWM manually (if you haven't already) or sideload ROM Toolbox and try the flash recovery option.
That's all I got. But if I were you, I won't bother about the CWM at all. It's useless.
As for the Play store, try the mod that I attached in my reply and let me know if this one works for you...
Unfortunately the link is not working. Is it possible to update it, please?
What I do if my micro usb is broken :/. I only have wireless adb
.. nice .. now my ouya will run again .. thanks
I already tried everything but I can't make this work... I installed every single drive in every single way.
The best screenshot of the whole situation is on attachment. SuperScript simply doesn't recognize OUYA with default drivers, neither provided drivers (or any of its variation like "composite adb" or something like that. The "List of devices attached" always return empty, even when provided drivers installed (signature deactivated and everything else). As readme says, when SuperScript doesn't recognize, it returns "error: device not found" every time that I try something...
This SuperScript seems great to start things on my my untouched and default OUYA... but I'm honestly out of options.

Problem solved. It is Windows Drivers issue. S-Config did a great job explaining how you should do this HERE. I hope it helps people who got stuck. SuperScript did work, I did installed CWM but I was not able to navigate (neither thru bluetooth usb full keyboard). I'm going to try to figure out what I'm missing later. As I can see, S-Config's website is fully updated... I do highly recommend read there who is going to do anything with ouya.
