UK query - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any ROMs that still allow SkyGo to be received? I rooted my tab once and the App said that it would not run on a rooted device.
Thanks

No

I was using NUT's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711982) which is 757 based and it worked with that. I've since upgraded to juanpirulo's 761 based version and deodexed, and still works fine.
Hope that helps.

Are you sure?
You can actually watch TV on sky go with a rooted device in the UK? I think it is impossible.
The app opens, but as soon as you try to watch it says that the device is rooted and will not work
Not a single rooted rom I have tried has worked and if you look into root cloak apps they all say that root can not be hidden from sky go and there is unlikely to be any work around for it.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Seems we're both right to some extent.
Up till now I'd only used it to watch Sky news and that works ok even now, but just tried watching the footie and got the message you described.

Thanks for that, I didn't know that sky news would work, so we are both wiser now

Hulu+ for Xoom!

It's officially out today!
HOWEVER... it's still listed as not available for my Xoom LTE. Not sure if they forgot to check the box for this model. If someone can get the new tablet friendly APK out there, I'd be obliged. I've already submitted a message to Hulu support.
i was able to install it on my xoom.
Can you post an APK file?

i have no clue how to do that.
It's good to know how to do it, programs like ASTRO File Manager or App Backup & Restore can backup the apps installed on your phone or tablet as APK files, which can be installed on any device. It doesn't back up app data (You need root and Titanium Backup for that), but it's great if you want to save old versions of apps in case someone releases a bad update, or if you want to copy them to a device that doesn't have the Android Market or something like that.
Then you stick 'em on some sort of site that lets people download 'em.
Installed fine, however getting DRM not supported error...
I'm running EOS ICS on my CDMA Verizon Xoom, and no dice. I installed it on my Transformer, no problem. Used Astro to backup the apk; however, it says its private and won't allow me to. I've tried to install from the device and the web based play store. No go.
I don't think it's compatible with ICS yet, because my Galaxy Nexus is also non-supported; however, I have ICS on my Nexus S and it installed just fine, so...idk
Runs on my xoom just fine.

You're not getting a "DRM Error"? Mine updated from the hacked version posted earlier once I removed that, but I'm getting "DRM Error 93“.

Nope, no errors.
That's the hacked version, we're talking about the official version with the tablet UI.

Im using market update version -
As of last night, my Xoom LTE could install the app off the Play Store. I could also start a video, but the connection wasn't great it seemed, and I got a network error after like fifteen seconds.
It seems like the only people who have gotten the official app to work on their Xoom, are people with the 4G LTE Xoom. Although, it does not say it will only work on 4G LTE in the Google Play app store, there seems to be a pattern. I wonder if a build.prop edit could fix the issue?

Huh. One of your builds, or an official build?
I've wiped data (thinking that the previous hacked version left something around), but still getting the DRM Error 93.

EOS STINGRAY ICS(4.0.4) Nightly 74
Custom Kernel -

[Q] How do I proceed now that I've rooted?

I've followed a root guide (not able to link due to account restrictions), however I am not sure whether I have rooted correctly (Superuser has been installed via the root). I'm a beginner in rooting and thought it would be straight forward (due to the number of tutorials around), but I don't know how to proceed now.
My basic objective is to install jelly bean with no issues in usage as the owner isn't very tech literate. The tutorials I have tried to follow thus far have had some steps which aren't possible in my circumstance or certain steps which aren't possible due to a change in the app.
If possible I will appreciate it if someone helps me, whether here, or on skype/teamspeak; preferably on the latters as it will speed up the process and I am quite time restricted. If possible I don't mind completely resetting the kindle to its original software and such and starting again just to be sure If I have rooted, but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks in advance
Details: [Rooted?] Kindle fire HD running 7.3.1 software; Model X43Z60

Thats to Root; I've already rooted (assuming from the video when it says you can see the superuser app)
Well if you have rooted right go to your browser and search for an app called Root Checker. It does not require root. It checks to see if your rooted right. If you are not rooted right the app will say so but if you are rooted right you get a message saying "You have successfully rooted your device." Hope I helped you.

Oh ok just download titanium back up when u open the app it will tell u if ur root or not
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Titanium says I have rooted. Ok, what do I do now as per my requirements above?
Thanks
Ok, I've now installed the play store and disabled ads using this VERY useful tutorial (thanks prok!). Is there a similar tutorial on how to install jelly bean on it now?
Well the best rom out there right now is Unofficial CM10.1 from Hashcode. Yes, you could install a different one but Unofficial CM10.1 is currently the best in my opinion.

TowelRoot

Wondering if anyone has tried towelroot on 4.3 for locked bootloaders, it says on the site that theoretically it should support any device build built before June 3rd.
I understand we have a locked bootloader but so does the Verizon and AT&T S5

Worked for me
I used it and it seems to work fine. Very easy, go the towelroot.com site, click on the symbol and download the app.I enabled installing from non-secure sources in settings/security. I installed the .apk and it ran, rebooted automically and I now have root. I am running Stock 9.2.A.0.295 now rooted without all the downgrading etc. Sweet! You must have read the same article on Androidpolice that I read.

SuperSU + Linux Deploy up & running.
-----updated: Terminal "su" works, but Linux Deploy = rebooting on "su" request, even with updated SuperSU

1. With the help of a file manger install TowelRoot
2. Install modified FlashgordonBB , and then with it PhilZ Recovery . Don't use the "normal" Flashgordon.
3. Flash Update Supesu in Recovery.
4.Reboot and install Supersu.
Set.

All right and I am grateful, too, certainly. That man deserves a beer or two, and some pretty girls, too.
But 150 pages of thanks - as great as it is - I think I'll just stick here.

I don't think its good idea becouse some ppls can't root with it sucessfuly.
So SuperSu is advising an Update
So apparently, SuperSu is now offering an update - I was wondering what version, so I launched SuperSu and it updated after I allowed it, choosing "Normal" instead of TWRP/CWM - because I don't have a recovery installed. It worked fine and it suggested a reboot - which after that I had version 2.0. Works great.

I did have success with kingo, if you are having trouble, make sure tab is in de-bug mode and you check the pop-up asking to allow kingo to talk to device, it will come up on tab side. And if kingo still not working, try this apk. RootZenPhone. Before you root using this app, you must, i repeat, must, turn off wi-fi, and forget the network you are connected to. If you dont, you get stuck in this Asus Demo mode, no lock screen, and it keeps downloading a phantom update. My daughter also told me facebook would auto delete, and force close. if you have any more questions fire away

no sorry, i just checked when was my last update and checked if mineworked because felt alarmed.
Here are my findings with Netflix on my note 9. Somehow netflix detects bootloader has been unlocked. Using a rom like devbase (and other custom roms) netflix will NOT appear in playstore, using google and searching for netflix on playstore takes you the app but gives you the error message as in the op. Flashing stock still does NOT solve the problem as in my case bootloader was still unlocked, only once i went into developer options and locked my bootloader did netflix work again out of the box.

There's a brightness setting bar on the Netflix movie screen. You can see it when the movie is paused. I just figured that out. My screen kept going dark when I would start a movie & now I know why. lol duh
