[Q] MobileTV denied on rooted S3 - Problem

HI,
i have rootet my T-MobileGalaxy S3 and leave the original FIrmwarfrom T-Mob on it. No custom Rom.
Now i wanted to show TV with my MobileTV App. But there comes a disclaimer, that i don't use original firmware
from T-mobile so i can't watch. Than the app closed.
A talk to T-Mobile custom care have no solution, cause they can't stop the romcheck in the app.
Anyone any idea? And please, don't the unroot it. I have rooted it cause i need AF-Firewall. Unrooting is no solution.
Please help :crying:
Thanks

How did you root? If your status shows "modified" things like this will not work. Only one way I know for sure to gain root without causing the status to change. Even then, system modifications can also trigger it. Has to do with DRM policies where any drm content will not work with rooted devices.

Hi, i rooted it with "oneclick 7.0", from here.
everything works. only MobileTV denied.
But I'm not the only one with this prob.
forum.telekom.de/foren/read/service/mobile-nutzung/mobiletv/root-romchek-in-mobiltv-zwingend-noetig,875,11148223,11148223.html

Only way to root w/o causing the device status to change is the root66 method. (Sorry I didn't put that in before, too tired i guess!)
Even then, if you apply any mods it'll change to modified. (I just tested a root method that failed, so I'm 100% stock, and just the attempt seems to have changed it)
Ill reflash root66 in a bit to verify I'm not remembering wrong. Will let you know.

Oh, OK, thats not fine. I searched here for a while, and find the one-click-root .
And now, i don't think i can reset it.
But the most fail is, that the MobileTV app is checking the ROM.
Why, its not necessary. :silly:

Hmm but i can not post links... I will send you a private message.

Guys, please Reset your Flash Counter and all will be well. You will be able to use the original App. You should get the App Called "Triangle Away". Please do read the OP completely, of the thread before using the app.

I've just deinstalled MobileTV.
The only way.

[ROOT] Very Simple E980 root after E98010p update

This is so awesome but I can't post links so....
...wait for it!!!
I can post it on my own web site tho: free-press dot us

I copied this from your site.
How To ROOT the Optimus G Pro E-980
after installing the latest update to E98010p
1. Install the drivers if you have not done so yet from http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-E980 (under Software Update tab)
2. Install this program (Kingo Android Root) from download.com: http://download.cnet.com/Kingo-Android-Root/3000-2094_4-75996768.html
Notes: You get a download.com installer initially. I was offered two programs I would never use so I declined those and got the actual program from the installer. Nothing was forced so don't freak out. The actual program is 22.5mb.
3. Open the Kingo program after install.
4. Put your phone in USB Debugger mode and connect it to your PC.
5. Select "Install PC Software" on your phone popup and let the Kingo program do its job.
6. The program will attempt root in Odin mode at first and fail and will then automatically use the correct mode and succeed.
Once the program completes you will have rooted your LG Optimus G Pro with "SuperSU" installed. Very simple. Next step is to install a Recovery.
I tried to post this on XDA but I don't have 10 posts so I gave up there. I go there often for solutions and new information but rarely post, but people seemed to be struggling with this and I thought I should give something back. Someone with link posting power can repost this to the forum if you want but please give me some credit for finding this on YouTube. Thanks!!!

really it was so simple
I just installed it and the program worked as promised, thanks man

Worked for me, now trying it on my Nexus 7 (Flo) ...:good:
**Update**
Nope on the Nexus

I'm gonna take a stab at this and say Freegee will still be required for installing recovery(CWM)?

FreeGee will put the lokified version of the recovery on your phone, which is needed since the bootloader is still locked

Can you tell me, or anyone can tell me, why Rom Manager doesn't work? It says it has Loki support but when I try to use it I get the android with the red symbol denoting it can't boot into recovery. I'm just curious.

Not sure....

I've read that Kingo and vroot are malicious root programs that might be sending IMEI info to Chinese servers. Then, supposedly other phones can be set up with your credentials. I don't have any way to verify if the aforementioned is true, but I'm just passing it along...
Maybe a web search of vroot and Kingo are in order.....

If that is true, and I'm not saying it is or isn't, I'm sure a web search on the matter could tell you what to look for. Such as hidden malicious apps installed, etc. It would be a prudent move to check into it but nothing to panic over until and/or unless there is some truth to it. Just my 2 cents on the matter....lol

Just because you brought it up Andy, I went into all my settings and apps. This method DOES install an app in your phone. I probably should have wrote down the app info before I removed it but I forgot to. it's not rocket science to figure it out on your own though. You see a blue icon with some Chinese writing on it. I went ahead and removed it from my phone just to be safe. But chances are IF this app is sending ANY data to a foreign server, it has done so already because it's been in my phone for a few hours already before I noticed it.
I did read online about the uploading of IMEI numbers but ONLY to build a database from but that feature has since been removed because of the concerns it raised.

Worked fine for my LG Optimus G Pro E980. I also ran Malware Bytes afterwards and found no malware, then I ran CM Security and the only thing I found was an sms fake phishing vulnerability which I am almost sure didn't come from the root process.

So just want to verify on this software is working for E980 10p update? Has anyone else found 10p root method to work without reflashing.? I am almost tempt to hold out on 4.4 OTA update coming for my phone.

Towelroot. Is it working on the G3?

Did someone try to root the G3 with Towelroot?
http://towelroot.com/

Yes, it will. Even on the S5 without tripping KNOX. Just try it yourself, no risk involved. I haven`t tried it myself but i`am absolutely sure it will get you root.

Good to know.
I should get my G3 next week so I will definitely use it.
Thanks.

Appearently its a vulnurability in all android kernels that are build before june 3rd that lets the exploit do its work and install root during the boot sequence without beeing detected.

Yes. It's amazing. This guy have a great talent. He just left the iOS system and went for Android (He developed the iOS Jailbreak). Now Chainfire and other good developers here have competition

Working good

I've never worried about the 'warranty voided' stories. If software could physically damage a device then the device is poorly made. I had three different rooted Samsung that failed due to the 'sudden death syndrome'. They were all fixed under warranty. Never heard of anyone having problems with warranty on a rooted device - only urban myths!

Rooting has always voided warranty. .. There were just ways to return it to stock like it was never rooted.

Not with my rooted phones - any that died or had faults have always been fixed under warranty - going right back to the 'Hero'. If I buy a brand name Windows PC, wipe the hard disk and install Linux, the manufacturer still has to honour their hardware warranty under EU law. Same with mobiles/phones/tablets.
Maybe North American consumer protection laws are not as good as those here in Europe.
For instance, in the EU we can return anything we buy via mail order for a full refund within 14 days for any reason under the 'distance selling' regulations. Goods bought in shops or via mail order also have to be of 'merchantable quality'. As it currently stands, EU customers could obtain a full refund for the LG G3 as it does not work reliably with the Google Chromecast. This is probably why Samsung fixed a similar problem with a software patch when some of their devices had the same problem.

Doing so removes your root access (as you expect) but your device will still refuse to install OTA's

Alright.. I decided to try it again and now SuperSU works flawlessly.
I think you need to reboot and run it again. This time for me, it didn't ask me for a binary update. Just started working. Try it.

OK so I can unroot with SuperSu, the only disadvantage is no OTA, and to unroot with OTA I'd need to perform factory reset, right? How to do it?
After Factory reset,

You might not be able to use Android Pay with a custom ROM.

It did work for me too, is annoying now , now the phone has to have a lock screen set up. Google Wallet had better . It does look better to the eye though

For now, there is no guaranteed way to maintain both root & use Android Pay. XDA featured an explanation on the portal that was offered by one of Google's security engineers. It's fairly straightforward, if disappointing for anyone who wants both.

Mine stop working after a day ,
I just uninstall it , I was happy cuz it was annoying having the screen lock with a pin or pattern

I like the new UI looked way more polished than wallet lol

no info/answer on this i have not tried android pay before but good to know all issues for when needed.

has anyone tried dirty flashing a stock rom setting up android pay then dirty flashing back to the wanted rom?

Hello
any 6.0 versions out there with integreated Android PAY ?

I get it to add cards by:
chmod 751 /su/bin
then
renaming xbin_bind folder
As far as working haven't tried it yet

what do you rename to the xbin_bind folder to? doesn't seem to be working for me

Anything but xbin_bind.

I'm wondering about this too. I guess in the meantime I could always get a contactless credit card and superglue it to the back of the phone. To emulate the NFC effect, I could just turn on the torch.

Cash Samsung cloud be used on the Verizon N8?

When I run the backup/restore app and press the backup button, nothing happens. I know Verizon hid the app but did they also disable it?

It gets deactivated by the csc file settings. If you are rooted you can edit your carrier settings to enable it. Problem is finding the right file and right settings to do so. I've been playing around with both stock and unlocked firmware trying to figure out how to enable smartcall and samsung cloud apps. If i figure it out I'll let you know.

Please do, thank you
