Sky Go - has anyone managed to beat the rooted block yet?

[captin caveman]

Yeah but the next problem is when you upgrade to ics sky go doesn't work. Nor does bbc iplayer or itv for me on vk rom.

Another thing to bare in mind is that on the speedmod kernal the option to create a nandroid back up in cwm is disabled. I've had to flash back to a siyah kernal to do a nandroid although that isn't a big deal in itself...

Yeah this wont be a problem for me as all the ICS Roms pretty much suck hairy balls , its kinda the windows Vista of the Android OS

There was a time when I thought that however things have changed. You should try the latest Neat ROM. It absolutely flies and sips battery like an old man nursing a pint (OK, OK, it was the best analogy I could come up with at short notice ).

Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Yeah I can confirm Checkmod 6 plus voodoo temp unroot has worked for me too. Many thanks, Guys!

[work around] How to get skygo working on rooted ICS roms:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560202


Works no issues on stock ICS and a few other kernels as mentioned on the thread. Hope this is useful to someone.

Looks like the latest Sky Go update has spotted the Voodoo Temp Unroot and has blocked access.

Anyone found a work around for this?

xda-developers seem stumped as well.

 

[heartburnron]

yeah just updated the sky go app and no longer works with speedups kernel and voodoo app. :-(

As far as I can see, Sky Go doesn't work with ICS at all. It's supposed to be updated later this month* - whether or not it will work with rooted devices is anyone's guess, but I'm tipping not.




* but don't bet your house on that!

Im on CheckRom V6 , swopped kernal to Speedmod via the Kitchen and temp unrooted with the Voodoo app and hey presto ! Sky sports news on while the kid watches Mickey mouse -_-

Screw you Merdoch !!!

Ok so with the new update , this no-longer works (FFS!) , any ideas ?

But it's odd that Sky News works OK on SkyGo but nothing else. I'm on a rooted HTC Desire with Android 2.2.2 and SkyGo 2. Tried Voodoo but no go, just Sky News.

Hi Tony,

That's always been the case, even in older app versions when the root wasn't hidden by Voodoo. It's just the "premium" channels such as Sky Sports etc. which bring up the rooted devices not supported error.
