I downloaded the time Warner Cable app today, then it said it was for Android 4.0 or higher. So I flashed the sensewich rom (sense 4.0) and it said the app isn't for rooted phones. Does anyone know a way to get it to work on gingerbread or a rooted 4.0 rom?
The app runs, but I can't view live tv.

Try the Market app "OTA Rootkeeper", which has the ability to temp unroot. Not sure about the Time Warner app you are talking about, but OTA Rootkeeper seems to work for other movie streaming apps with root restrictions.
If I recall, some applications do a check for the superuser apk on the phone. If the Root Manager doesn't work, you may want to try renaming the SU app.
Thanks for the responses, but how do I use the ota root thing? It's the voo doo app?
Edit: nevermind

To be clear, you installed OTA Rootkeeper, opened the app, and selected temp unroot? You may need to also reboot, to make sure nothing is lingering in memory that would indicate root.

Use a file explorer (needs root) to rename superuser.apk in /system/app/
Thanks for trying, but none of those worked. Oh well.

IF you do this you will lose root. How do you UNINSTALL ROOT?
You will be if you try installing this ota, but that will be forever quit possibly SO READ BELOW
IF YOU INSTALL THAT OTA UPDATE YOU WILL LOSE ROOT MAYBE FOREVER!

how to uninstall unrevoked....

just dont do it...
I would just get rid of unrevoked, and do a FULL root and you can have all teh OTA goodness without the worry.
I am sure most devs will have roms based on this code within a day... (Some devs (check out the fresh line) already have the code being posted to servers for their donors)
Uninstall unrevoked
Same boat here, how to uninstall unrevoked.
Many of you have been rooting using a little application I call z4root but z4root has its tendinitises to fail or not work right.

Now you don't have to worry about z4root with the release of my very own
[B]one click root and busybox installer[/B] for the Samsung Continuum.
Essentially what the one click does is root your phone, install busybox, and copy z4root and superuser to /system/app. z4root is included for easy unroot if you ever need to unroot and run the script again.

this works for me can't promise that it would work for anyone else....but if you use z4root and get temporary root you can then use rom manager to fully root your phone which will last after reboot and everything....
z4root gives you temporary root and Rom manager lets you flash a custom recovery/roms.
I don't see how a combination of the two would or could give you a NAND Unlock.

Typically you don't have to worry about it for a freeplacement, If you root it all you have to do is flash a stock RUU and everything will go back to orignial. I had to take my wifes for repaired yesterday due to the flash quit working. I just installed a stock RUU from sprint. Had it fixed, went home re-rooted and restored with nandroid and you would never know.
Just use unrevoked. Its super easy to fully root your phone.

worked for me on a friends htc hero. The download I used though gave my computer a virus and was caught by windows defender after the fact so be carefull were you download it from.
but the thing you will be missing is the ability to do a NANDbackup! Among other things that full root gives you.

Morning all!
Possibly a silly question but I run 100% stock because of one app that will not work when rooted - Sky Go (a UK video streaming app). There is nothing that has got it to work when rooted so I've not bothered. I don't even need root access these days. BUT I'd like to give CM11 a go and I was wondering if you can turn off the root access in the ROM and then use a stock kernel and it would still boot/run?
If not, not to worry but seeing as CM11S does't have root it'd be nice to see the same available for other phones and not just the OnePlus One
I guess you could run the super su zip in recovery and then full unroot it through the app. Not sure if you'll run into any issues in cm without root, never tried it before

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
App: Sky Go - BSkyB - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo
Method: Most likely detects root via native library (built with Android NDK). Unsure of exact method, but the Java portion of the app contains "VGDRM_STATUS_DEVICE_IS_ROOTED = -41942891", and based on the library name, it's a safe bet.
Relevant Files: libvgc.so
I think Sky Go looks for more than root doesn't it? I think it looks at kernel and software version also, so if you are running anything "custom" it instantly thinks you are rooted.
I just set up a separate rom on my Nexus 7 (Using multirom) for this exact reason.

In case you didn't see it, towelroot v3 was just released. It still does not support our device, but it does add the ability to temp root a device. Go to towelroot.com and click on the "fix your phone yourself" link.
Follow the instructions and use the string for temp root. Worked great for me. That being said, firewater s-off is now patched, and sunshine says it is incompatible with our rom/kernel. Hopefully jcase can update sunshine for us so we can obtain s-off.
It's a start!
Nvm got it.
Kernel contains HTC anti-firewater patch
Is anyone else getting "Kernel contains HTC anti-firewater patch!"?
Did they say firewater won't be updated?

I must be missing something because I can't get it to work. You just click the banner 3 times change the last 0 to a 1 and hit the button? It either says I have root and I use root checker and it says I don't, or it reboots which means towelroot failed

So what version of Sense are you using? 5.5 or 6.0?
so, for those people that are trying towelroot on M7 with sense 6 did you make sure the modstring has:
Code:
Temp root, HTC, Motorola: "1337 0 1 0 4 1"
what is the point of temp root vs root?

Basically full root will survive a reboot, where as temp root is lost on reboot and the device must be temp rooted again. You can at least still have some sort of root access with temp root rather than have to stay 100% stock.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong or want to go into more detail.

With a locked bootloader and s-on, the system and boot positions are write protected also. This means you can read system files, but not edit them. Good for titanium backups

I just tried that and it does not work for sense 6. Sucks that I had to send my phone in for repair and I took the latest update. Now I can't root. Really miss the Rom section.
