Root [International] Need To Unroot - Sky Go

[cgfw201]

No. Root does not show extra apps in the play store.


Do you have superuser icon in your app drawer?

Don't have superuser any longer no.

Ok. So as suspected, you're not rooted.

As for why sky go thinks you are, I.only have the one theory. As suggested - try uninstall and reinstall it.

The only other suggestion is factory reset.

Even if you re-flash your stock firmware and you get un-rooted - the OS, in your case JB, still thinks it is modified - to test do two things.

1. Download root checker - this will likely tell you are not rooted

2. Check the device status
Settings > About Device > Status > Device Status (bottom)

If you are NOT rooted, but the device is MODIFIED, you need to factory reset your device

1. In Recovery > Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. In Recovery > Wipe Cache Partition

This will factory reset Android and you should be unmodified. If you STILL got problems with Sky Go then you need to reset the flash counter. But we get to that once you tried the above.

Weird thing is I was definitely in possession of SU access yesterday as there were apps like Triangle Away which I was told to download which required me to 'grant' access which worked yesterday but doesn't work today.

Sky Go can obviously detect any sign of rooting I think and won't let you on.

Device Status: Normal
Root Checker: "This Device does not have proper root access."

Sky Go: thinks Im bloody rooted!

 

[SUroot]

like I said, uninstall sky go and re install. If same issue, factory reset

SOLVED IT

Saw this thread on a Sky forum
Sky Help Forum - Sky Go thinks Nexus 7 is rooted - take 2 - Help & Support from the Official Sky Forum

I still had the SuperUser app on my phone and a load of others from when I rooted it. I deleted them, deleted sky go again, soft reset of phone and reinstalled sky go and now its working.

thanks for the time this pm, glad i got this sorted!
cheers

Hi all,
I don't subscribe to SKY so don't have GO, but has anyone with Root tried Triangle Away System modified workaround as this puts SU to sleep on boot, in which time SKY Go could be started. Might work?
