hi xda
1- i got couple of question
i heard that skygo is not working on rooted phone is there any tweak to run sky go on rooted phone?
2- if i install new custom rom will that count on as different 2nd device or that will b same device
thanks
I'd also be interested in this, was glad to see that the SkyGo app for android had FINALLY been released... but then to find out it wouldn't work on my SGS or TF....... There's no way I'm going to use an unrooted device, so either their is a way of tweaking it, or flash streams it is!
Try a search question has been asked not sure if their was a fix.

Change to latest speedmod kernel it works in that apparently.
Or from market get OTA rootkeeper it temporarily unroots and works, I've tried this method to get mine working.

To all of you that are tired of the long, not so simple way to root your Optimus One, I just came across this. Although it says it's for gingerbread, it worked for me. I'm using original 2.2.1 firmware.
Hope you're gonna find this useful!
hi cristi_bostan2005,
thanks for the information. I have tried and it also work with Android Version 2.2.2, software version v10f-FEB-24-2011
Does this mean no need of downgrading any more to install custom roms? Also is it safe to use it on our phone?
this is great news, though I'm still on v10b
where is detail i m not able to see it
thanks for this i rooted my phone using this was running froyo 2.2.2 with out the requirement of downgrade was able to root the phone successfully
? I am not seeing any info regarding app...what is the method?

It's an app, similar to z4root that can root your phone, without you needing to downgrade as before. It's very simple.
Follow the link, download the latest apk to your phone, install it, run it and that's it!

Will the Ginger Break work for LG Optimus M? How do I install?

thanks, worked great on 2.2.2 (ADEUBK 10e)
How many minutes did it take to root the phone? Mine is taking forever... :-S
not very long... about 30 seconds to 1 minute i think ??
Going to reboot and try again then.
but:
Some important things to know:
- You must have USB debugging enabled on your device
- You need to have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
- The APK must be install to device, NOT SD card
- The exploit may take a while to run, but not more than 10 minutes, if it does, get me a logcat, and reboot the device
- Always reboot between root attempts!
- While (temporary?) root access may be attained, due to locked bootloaders, efuses, S-ON, and whatnot this may still not work on your device
- The GingerBreak exploit should not be used to attain temproot and continue using the device. It fscks vold, you do not want to be running like that. You want to reboot! So if the root doesn't stick, you (still) have a problem.
Nope, it wasn't running properly, I waited more than 10 minutes.
I've rebooted and tried to run it again and this time it rooted the phone in less than 30 seconds. It was something that was amiss I guess.
Rooted in few minutes on V10E (2.2.2) Italian No Brand.
is it permanent root? i'm wondering if the phone can still be Unrooted after using this app? sorry for the noob question.

No you wont have to do anything else, it will just root your phone for you, your apps, settings, data and ICS will all be the same.
ur phone wont be resetted. it will be the exactly the same but u would hv got SUPERUSER access

thank you for the quick replies
one more question though, once i have rooted, if orange release another fw, say 4.0.4 and i update, i know i loose root access and would have to root again.
once i installed a new version though what happens to the installed apps that are 'root only' once i put the updated os on, would it mess them up until i rooted again?
i hope i have explained that how i mean it to sound
if u update ur firmware, u would loose root and without root access. those root only apps wont work

Welcome to the world of being rooted, it's a good world. Enjoy
A bit of a nooby question, but I've never come across it or had to do it before.
I know I could flash a custom ROM but nothing quite stands out just yet, waiting for S3 USA release. There should be a lot more action on the ROM side then.
But at the moment I'm on stock, rooted and woke up with an update on my phone yesterday. From what I've read there's 2 updates 1 after the other and 1's a new kernel. I'd rather not update and root again if there's a simple way of removing the update e.g. like say delete a file from somewhere. After all my phone's running 100% as is.
Anyone know the answer? Its bugging me now, you can only perspone it for 3 hours at a time.
If I don't get rid of it by tomorrow I'm going to reaserch if i can just update over a rooted stock ROM. Find out about the new kernel build make sure I can root after updating and reluctantly update.
Thanks in advance
Marc

Hi mate
I have the same problem and can't get rid of the OTA update available message, if you find a solution then please post.
Many thanks!!
download the 'update' from sammobile.com it's the LF2 rom, install with mobile odin and tell it to keep root.... problem solved
I just used titanium backup to delete the updater. Seems to be working fine for now.
Hi
I rooted my 6 month old S3 this week to get Jelly Bean as TMobile UK aren't releasing it until March by the looks of things.
Rooted the phone no trouble and installed the official Samsung 4.1.2 OS on the phone which is working perfectly.
However, I've just discovered it's not possible to use Sky Go, which I use every day, on a rooted phone. Judging by other peoples questions and posts about it, there's no work around for it either.
What I want to do is remove the root access to my phone and return it to normal, but keep Jelly Bean. I've no interest in or use for having the root access, it was just to get JB.
Is there an easy way to restore this? I'm hoping there's a nice straightforward way of doing it as I've got the official Samsung OS rather than a custom one.
Thanks!
Try triangle away. You might have to do a wipe to get "normal" device status

nope doesn't work I'm afraid.
Then try flashing the same firmware? Should leave it unrooted. I'm not sure if sky go checks device status when checking for root.

Why not unlock the boot loader there is always a Oden to complete stock with locked boot loader so u can return ice returned 2 phones with unlocked boot loaders and never had a issue even one even a MAXX HD lol and one note 2 as long add there's no root they return them. Not having your BL unlocked limits u quite a bit Its your phone just curious
I used casual, and did everything, root unlock and custom recovery
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
There's no way to root without Odin of root66 just like last build. Expect casual of course and as stated this is the wrong section so I went ahead and reported it for you so adev can move it. Just keep the sections in mind for future posts please.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a root that does only that: give me root access.
Is CASUAL really the only possible way to achieve root? If so, is it necessary that it unlocks the boot-loader and installs custom recovery to achieve this?
I probably wouldn't mind except that I'd like to just be able to do OTA updates as available, which I hear is not possible after running casual, and I really don't want to fiddle with custom ROMs as the stock Note 2 one works so well for me.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions...

Odin and root66 will root your phone. If you recieve a OTA while rooted it will get rid of your root completely and you will have to re-root your phone, it also has the potential to do some wonky **** to it (ive even heard of bricks happening because of being rooted and accepting the OTA).
Once your bootloader is unlocked you wouldnt have to flash roms if you didnt want to unless you wanted to update to a new OTA.
