Application detects rooted phone - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi i have a problem with an application from my internet provider called Telenet.
The application name is Yelo, it allows you to watch TV on your android device, great feature heh!
if it would work, ive tested it on my girlfriends Phone wich is not rooted and there it works.
So the application 'Yelo' says to me "you are using a rooted smartphone or tablet, yelo tv does not support these devices.".
so i checked the build number on my girfriends Phone thinking they would try to match that with some database.
So i edited the build.prop rebooted the Phone, but it didnt help.
Does anyone have an idea on how to bypass this check without locking my Phone again?
Thanks, Kind Regards.

You could try the OTA Rootkeeper app. It's not a database match; I'm guessing the app tries to use su.

Also on some ROMs you can turn off root, I know you can on CM.

Fixed

Does this still work for you after the update from november (v 3.1)? On my Desire HD it stopped working since the last update (the one with Rex & Rio). I tried temp unroot with SuperUser (what I have always used) and Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper but neither still does the trick. It keeps saying I have a rooted device and rooted devices aren't supported. Rolled back to the previous version (3.0.4) but when I start it, it forces me to update to the newest version .
I hate Telenet for being so retarted. As if we can't record the live stream using a Windows pc ... which is always 'rooted' and has plenty of apps.

okay

[Q] Is there a Super One Click update ?

I have a Motorola Atrix.
I rooted it with super 1 click.
a few weeks later ATT/Android did a push of an update and my phone was no longer rooted and an app I really need ANDFIRE (firewall) and it was not working properly.
Additiopnally I was not able to root my phone again.
I talked ATT into replacing the phone because this was an important app.
My new phone was also rooted using Super One Click , however I would like to do the Android update.
The reason for wanting to do the update is my VPN started working smoothly.
If I allow this update is there an update to Super 1 Click that I can root my phone with again?
I already have SDK and adb setup to run on the same pc I rooted with before.
There was a lot of talk on the internet about this issue.
I hope there is a fix.
Please be aware I am new at this.
Thank you

[Q] So like, i just got a Play and it's running 2.3.2

So I just bought a Play today and have been wondering if i should go ahead with an update to the latest version or if I should root and do something cool. I'm not really sure what to do and looking for suggestions.
Thanks,
Kris
Root it using gingerbreak first, then update it on the phone itself. That way you can have newer software, and still be rooted. Being rooted is definitely nice, if anything it gives you access to some pretty nifty apps on the market that require root to work.

Thanks although when I go to software update on the phone it says it cannt connect to the network. I'm connected to wifi and browsing and market work. I'm guessing if I used the SE software on the pc it would not allow me to root or would not save the root?
Or do i need to root first for the software update to work?
Thanks in advance,
Kris
What version are you using? R800a, r800i, or r800x.
Sent from my rooted R800a 2.3.3 BL locked
I wouldnt know >_< how do i find out?
NVM its R800i
EDIT: Just rooted the Play, now to try and get the on phone software update to work I guess.
EDIT2: Yea it still says searching for update and then cannont connect to the network.
EDIT3: Well i updated using the PC and it removed SuperUser so... i'm guessing no more root. I dont wanan run the gingerbreak again incase ti messes up and bricks or something.
If you want a do-over, go to this thread.

Barclays Bank App not working even after unrooting custom rom[SOLVED]

Hello guys,
I unlocked my BL and flashed a rom last night as stock 4.2 was so laggy for me. I need to be able to use the barclays bank app.
so far i tried the methods on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823649
with no joy so i removed root via SuperSU app. I checked xbin and bin and SU file was gone.
I still get the RP029 error. Also have the 99999 error. If all fails is there a pure stock rom that i can flash without wipe? im on a 4.2.1 rom
thanks
Was it working on 4.1.2 for example?

Yeh but I was not rooted. I have a feeling that they locked me out because I tried from a rooted phone
Just an update for future people who find this post. I had to call barclays to re-set my account.

just to add to this, when i rang barclays up they told me i could only have the banking app on 3 devices, so after 3 reinstalls (due to new roms) i had to ring them to reactivate.
also just another thing i couldnt get the banking app to work with any root work around for ages but i finally found 1 that worked for me and that was using sTweaks to temp unroot

i dont know on all versions of android, mine is android 2.3.5 ginger bread, kernel version 2.6.38.6-perf.
with kingo, you have to be patient, even if it says not recognized, just wait a little bit longer. it worked for me, and i was finally able to move some apps to my sd card to save memory.

Netflx not working on Tab s4

Recently, I decided to update my rooted tab to the newest firmware, through an application on my Windows PC. After updating, I noticed that Netflix now refuses to work despite the fact I had it working on my previously rooted device. Is there any way to be able to actually get it up and running again?
Have you tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it?

I just tried that, and as I expected, still met with the same message.
On a rooted device I had before this one, I couldn't get Netflix to work. I went to their site and even made a phone call to find out there is an apk file for rooted devices buried on their site. Seems like I may have had to try a few of them to get one to work. This was probably 3-4 years ago.
Oh, and I had to explain to the guy what "rooted" means and why I wanted to do that!
Netflix is broke. Nobody has fixed it.
Hi,
Netflix has confirmed to Android Police that since version 5.0, released mid-May, the application relies entirely on Google's Widevine DRM. But it only works if Android is intact.
In practice, the availability of the application depends on the eligibility of your smartphone to SafetyNet, and therefore to Android Pay. So an unlocked smartphone no longer has access to Netflix on the Play Store, even if it meets the requirements of Widevin DRM
But no matter: the application itself always works on smartphones rooted and unlocked, at least for the moment.
If it is already installed, you can continue to enjoy it without doing anything. If it is not, simply install it manually, after downloading the APK from APKMirror
