Has anyone managed to get Sky Go working on a rooted device? The work around for other phones seems to use OTA Rootkeeper but that app states:
Useless with: Samsung Phones updated via KIES or Odin.
Surely we all rooted with Odin?
Has anyone got it working?
Big +1 on this.
Rootkeeper does not work.
Even tried unrooting completely permanent, deleted everything sky related via file explorer, the app still comes back "does not work on rooted devices"
Anyone at all got this to work?
same if you hide with with supersu. How do we fix this?

Is it possible to receive Google Over the Air Updates while rooted on the latest stock rom? I know i'll lose root but am i able to still get updates? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: i saw a post where this Question was asked but the answer was not clear. Something about changing stuff in the system files? I not sure please help!
If you have clockwork installed you will receive the updates but they will fail. If you do not have clockwork installed everything will be fine

Yeah what he said is right.
can i root my sgh-t989 after i update to ics. will i still be able to use ics and just have the capabality to remove bloat and all root fucntions?
if you are a developer you probably can, but if aren't you have to wait for somebody to release rooted version of this rom
Since it isnt actually out yet, we dont know what will work to root with any certainty. You just have to wait.
thanks
I just got this update. Without realizing I updated it. Now i want root :/
D'oh! It will be out soon, we have excellent devs!

You can root the new ICS ROM
It is rooted via the same old method used to root the original stock rom. you can get all the files either here on this site or from galaxys2root.com. the root site has a youtube video if you need a step-by-step hand holding.

Just updated my brothers Sprint S3 with the new Jellybean update, is it not rootable yet??? I don't have an SIII myself and sometimes you can't tell whether a thread on rooting has been updated yet or not.
It's on official 4.1.1 and it says Qualcomm Secure boot is ENABLED.
Can I get it disabled? and Is there a root method yet without having to flash a rooted ROM in odin?
I simply want to obtain root. Not install cwm or twrp or anything else.
This is Q & A so I am asking a Q and hoping for an A! lol
Yes it's rootable, I just did mine. All the info you need is right here.

I don't know the technical answer to that, but my new phone that I got last week with the latest firmware, I was able to obtain root using that method.

Any version of the Sprint Galaxy S3 can be rooted easily. I used the Team Epic Root From Recovery method. Super easy.

I lost root with the 4.1.2 update and I'd like to get it back. I went a little crazy with all the Gameloft deals and ended up with about 16 gigs worth of games, so I had to root to be able to use Titanium Backup to store everything on my SD card. I was running the stock ROM just rooted and didn't uninstall or change anything. I can't find anything else about how to gain root after the update that doesn't require flashing anything. Is there a one click option for me?

Well, that was easy.
Thanks!
A Freakin' Amazing!
I also lost root during my AT&T 4.1.2 update, tried re-rooting via Odin, did 3 softbricks & resets & basically had given up on root. Then I stumbled upon this method, tried it & can't believe that anyone would rather root via Odin. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
I want \ need to root my note, is this the preferred method?

Hello
I have rooted my Galaxy Note II and installed CWM for the recovery. I am also running a stock ROM. There is a new OTA update, and before I am going to do it, quick question: when I update, will I still have root access or will it break it somehow? I'm running the Stock 4.1.1
Flash stock recovery..so u can get ota then just root again..rooting takes 3 seconds

The update did not work for some reason. Is there anything else that would need to be changed in order for the update to work?
U have stock recovery?

Hello,
I too had root, CWM recovery and stock ROM on my note 2 and was able to successfully take the OTA update to 4.1.2 and retain root access. I obviously have a stock recovery now after the upgrade but root is still present! I did have SuperSU (paid for version) that has the Survive OTA update mode and it worked like a charm! One thing to note is that it was not obvious at first that root was retained.
Immediately after the update, my root access failed when trying to use Titanium backup. Also, other apps requiring root access were failing as well. So, I went into SuperSU and ticked the "enable Super User" mode off and then on again and rebooted the phone.
After the reboot I noticed that Titanium Backup had root access and then verified the rest of my apps were working as well.
Three cheers to the creators of these wonderful programs.....I'm very glad I paid for the updates and got the added functionality!!
Good luck to all and hopefully it works as well for you as it did for me!!
