Can anyone be able to fix Flixster app because it knows I am rooted and wont let me watch my ultraviolet movies?
Do you actually get an error that says "You are rooted, try again hacker"? At the very worst, this is temp root. Reboot and watch your flick, then re-root.
I'm having the same problem, it says "It looks like your device is rooted. Unfortunately, movie streaming is not supported on rooted devices for security and stability reasons." I am unlocked and permanently rooted on stock rom. How does this silly little app know I'm rooted? I have several ultraviolet movies I'd like to watch, this suxs! Does anyone know a way around this?
Try OTA rootkeeper. Looks like you can make a root backup, temp unroot, then reroot after you watch your movies
I don't know if flixster worked pre ICS upgrade cause I never tried it. BUT I cannot play the movies I own now afterwards using this app. Some kind of security issue when trying to play. No, I'm not rooted.

has anyone tried to do this since getting root access? i know i remember reading that google was gonna block movies for rooted devices but i wasnt sure if that was ever implemented or not
I haven't personally tried since I feel they are a rip off. I'd rather just use other methods. But I don't think google blocked the movies. They are still showing up in the market for me and are available to rent.
You can rent them, just can't watch in the google movie app. Two ways around this.
1. Just go to your browser on the phone to the google market website and watch it from there
2. Use terminal or adb shell to rename the su binary. Remember what you name it as, because when you're done watching the movie, you will have to run the binary as the new name to be able to change it back so all other programs will work.
I rented a Google movie but the Videos app error message says movies don't play on rooted devices. Only thing is I'm not rooted. Anyone else have a similar problem? I'm running software version 8.8.3.27 and the tablet says there is no update available.
Don't use rentals just download them of pirate bay much better and always world
Yeahhhhh I'm pretty sure that is the exact reason Sopa ilwas written now I'm against it but just blatantly saying something like that isn't helpful

Why would Videos app think my tablet is rooted?
Movies is probably the reason that root is being withheld from us. Boycot it until they allow you to pay money without also having to put up with DRM and usage restrictions. (not saying that the free option is right, but it sure is less hassle)

Try a factory reset? Your firmware version is not correct....that is probably why its failing. If you are still unable to update, take it back.

Pretty hilarious the drm makes it harder to watch a movie than just pirating it. It should be easier to rent a movie so pirating doesn't look so tempting.
How to use watch movies using Google play on rooted android phones.
1) Download app called ota rootkeeper from the android marketplace.
2) Open app and protect root.
3) Click "temp unroot".
4) When done watching movie go to ota rootkeeper and restore root.
NOTE: Every time you want to use Google play you must do this.

**UPDATE: This app does not work with all phones, install the app and it says in the app what phones it works with. I have a rooted ATRIX 4g (petes Motorola root tools) and never changed the rom and it works perfectly.
Good morning gents.
Rooted my wifes Kindle Fire HDX and installed superSU, other than the slight modification to disable the pesky lockscreen ads nothing else has been done to it.
Prior to the christmas update for Line Pop and Line Dozer, the games would work, first launch would say that because the device was rooted i would need to confirm if i would let the game monitor for cheat tools, which is fine with me so clicking ok would result in the game working perfectly fine.
Line Pop and Line Dozer have received christmas updates and this is where the problem starts, both games update just fine and launch just fine but on the loading screens they hang and give a connection failed error, from my brief investigations it seems that Naver have implemented a new apk security check to make sure the apk has not been tampered with but other than that ive no idea why theyre currently not working.
The APK's for the latest versions were downloaded through the 1Market store front, but even if i uninstall and use the APK from google play store i get the same issues.
Anyone willing to test these two games on their rooted kindle and confirm if they have the same issues?
Or someone with an unrooted 7" HDX see if the game works without root? As i imagine the entire suite of naver games are going to stop working for the kindle hdx when they get around to updating them to this new security routine.
Ironically, the latest updates work fine on my rooted galaxy s4 SC-04E.
Thanks!
You could try voodoo ota root keeper or something similar to to get rid of root temporarily to test on your own...

Yeah ive tried a couple root hiders, doesnt seem to help, not sure if the root-hiders are at fault or if the games are just litterally, broken for kindle now.

Do the apps come from the Google Play Store? If so, particularly if they have in-app purchase options, you will have issues unless your google account is added & framework is installed. Even then, sometimes you will have connection issues, but usually repeated starting will eventually connect & launch.
Anyone know of a way to hide the fact that my M9 is rooted?
Flixster app is still in the dark ages with a root check and they have no plans it seems to ever support rooted androids. I have several hundred ultraviolet movies that I can't watch on my M9 (or my old M7 for that matter).
I found Root Cloak for Exposed, but since Exposed isn't official for 5.1 and Root Cloak hasn't been updated since 1/14 I am at a loss.
It's actually the only reason I haven't rooted my N7 tablet since that's the only non-PC I can watch from at this point.
Try Hide Rooting Lite from the play store. I've had success with it in the past.

are you looking to just hide the superuser app from the app drawer? or actually mask the fact that root access is achievable?
Are you taking it to sprint and want to hide root? if you are i have never had any problems with having an unlocked and rooted phone with them over the past 6 years.

As I mentioned, the Flixster app for ultraviolet movies does not support rooted Android so they have some sort of root checker in the app that denies access if it sees the phone is rooted.
Not sure how it does it or what it's specifically looking for (SU? Busybox? etc) but when I had tried Root Cloak previously it didn't work on KitKat for the Flixster app and since it's been dormant I don't hold any hope it will on 5.1 either. I also don't want to install some shady Chinese ad-filled app that may or may not work (the prior recommendation above wasn't well reviewed on play store).
