download voodoo rootkeeper from the market and run, if your rooted, it will temporarily unroot your device.
download and install the test skygo app from this thread (post 129)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506967&page=13
open skygo, sign in to your account and watch, if you don't have an account sign up, obviously you need to be in the UK and a sky customer

Found this thread on xda's "Droid RAZR General" forum that mentions conflicting results with a workaround for the TWC app preventing the livetv feature if you have root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604411
Just want to point out that on my AT&T NOTE (Seraphim First Flight ROM) renaming the /system/app/Superuser.apk then clearing the TWC app from memory was successful. Was then able to use the TWC Live TV feature.
A script to do this automatically is probably warranted but I'm sure some of the great minds here on xda will beat me to it !
Worked fine for me on DAGr8 alpha II, no moding needed
Just wonder if any way to get live TV working when off my home wifi network.

Anyone tried "hide my root" for this? I can't test it since I don't live in a TWC services area.
Cheers

renamed it to just "SU"... as long as its not "superuser" the app wont see it
So I downloaded it, went to install and it won't let me click install, I can only click cancel?!? Install doesn't highlight or respond. I've had this happen with random apps off the amazon appstore as well. Wtf?

I've had this happen a few times as well... Fix permissions for market and clear data after having to force close the app has always worked for me.

I've found a work around to bypass apps that won't work on rooted androids. I've tested Barclays Mobile Banking and SkyGo. Both work.
I need a list of other app that can't work with root so I can test further.
Please list any that you know of?
Thanks.

Hi can you tell the work around for skygo on s3 please
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I've been told the SkyGo app checks for root when the video is about to play so I havent been able to test that far as I dont have login details for a Sky account. I assumed the app checked for root at start up.
Anyway, I've you could try this for me and let me know...
You need ES File Explorer. Open ES and go in to the options. Make sure 'Up to Root' and 'Root Explorer' are ticked. Navigate to '/system/xbin/' and long press on the 'su' file. Then select 'Hide' from the popup menu. Try streaming anything from SkyGo. Let me know if that works or not.
I've just tried another beta app called 'WorldPay' but it didn't work. So far the only app confirmed is Barclays Mobile Banking and Barclays Pingit.
Thanks.
Hi tried what u said didn't work for me

Bugger. Looks like it's just for Barclays app's then. Thanks for trying it for me.
That's ok there might be a fix soon by someone

Hey man, can you help me get this app going "Jeppesen Mobile TC". I'm trying to get this app to work on my HP Touchpad with CyanogenMod version 9.0.0 alpha 2
Is there any way to unroot easily? Just in case my phone breaks down I still want access to the warranty.
Oh and will Google Play Movies still work after rooting?
should be able to unroot through the super user app or just flash back to stock via odin.
You might try Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, which has an option to temporarily unroot your phone. That should be adequate for service .

Has anyone tried this(SuperSU way) on note2 specifically?
I reset back to stock by flashing with Odin...not a hard process IMO.

Voodoo OTA rootkeeper i think would best answer your ?
I use Voodoo, and it works like a charm
The Google play movies will not work on the market it but I believe there is a hacked version that has the root check disabled. It should be on the forums or a simple Google search for "root Google play movies". (Sorry I'm at work and can't search the forums as well)

Hi! Guys. I have been unsuccessful in installing Root Explorer (File Manager) v3.0.1 on our Galaxy Y. Every time I tried installing it, it says 'Parsing Error'. I am in a dilemma. Or is this particular version incompatible with android 2.3? Right now I am using v3.0. Please share your experiences with this particular version of Root Explorer i.e. v3.0.1. Thanking in anticipation.

I have seen on some websites that it requires android 3.0+. But on Play Store they didn't mentioned the android version again. Confused. If any one had successfully installed it on Galaxy Y, please tell me.

What do you meant to say? That I am asking for a warez site? Think carefully before you speak. I am not asking where from I can download this paid application for free. I am only asking if it is compatible with our phone. Because I am facing problem with its installation as stated above. I purchased the app from Google play. I am not a kid in XDA forum. I know all the rules. Don't try to upset me further. Your answer is completely out of the question. If you have never tested the application, do not spam this thread with your silly answers.

If there were no error why would I ask here in the first place? If you really want to know, buy the apps from Play Store and install it. Let me tell you something. Sometimes, there are apps on Play Store available for Galaxy Y but not compatible with it. Ex. GTA 3, Temple Run, etc. So, if you download such apps, there is bound to be error while being installed by Play Store.

That is the reason why I am creating this thread. I am also quite surprise, bro. What you said is definitely true. Anyways, I am already asking for refund. Thanks for your constructive suggestions. I have purchased Solid Explorer. It's better than Root Explorer and has all the functions of Root Explorer and has better UI and navigation is easier and faster.

I know there have been PLENTY of threads on xda trying to solve this and I've asked questions on the threads themselves and I'm yet to receive a reply. Can someone please give me a small guide (if possible ) how temp unroot.
1. Rootkeeper or any other app on the app store doesn't work when root is protected for me
2. SuperSU uninstall doesn't work for me
3. Flashing a zip to remove SuperSU and Busybox didn't work for me either.
There isn't a file with the name 'superuser.apk' that I could find.
Can anyone help with my predict? I really need to get this working before US Open

BTW I actually don't mind unrooting my phone for a few weeks as long as I don't lose data or backup. If there is a way to do this (which isn't considered a temp root) please let me know

I also tried using Android 4.3 which seemingly doesn't have root access, so I don't know what the app is picking up.

Sky Go is an application which allows people with a Sky subscription to watch TV on their devices, whether it be a tablet, phone or PC. I'm guessing u live outside the UK because Sky is quite popular here. As for the app, it is free, however you need an account to access it. Here's the link to it in the Play Store anyways.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo
I'm not sure if you can have a look at this without an account but let me know anyway buddy. :thumbup:
