skygo - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi ive just unrooted and re-locked my n7 to watch skygo but its still saying its not supported on rooted devices,anyone else getting this

Are you sure you're unrooted? Check for superuser.apk in /system/app and su in /system/xbin. Delete them if you find them. You will need ADB to do this since you aren't rooted.

You can still use the apps with superuser installed. Just change the superuser apk to any name then check disable superuser in superuser setting. It should work.
Then re-enable when you require root function.

Yes I had exactly the same issue.....I run multirom now so that I can just boot into a factory clean unrooted rom. It works like a charm!!!! Multirom also shares the kernel from your main internal rom with the factory Rom.........

If you need help let me know. I have a clean zip of 4.2.2 stock ready to flash with multirom....just get multirom installed first......

Just use 'TVCatchup'. It works better. Sky are stupid and don't want to support rooted devices. No idea why, has no effect on them.

CatchupTV is good but skygo contains loads more channels and now there is a sky movies app......Can watch football on sky sports on the nexus while the wife watches The only way is Essex..........phewwwww

Working fine for me. Rooted using Preinstall method.
Is TiBu listed in the Superuser app?
Yeah its listed and I rooted using preinstall too.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
and super user has installed?
The first time I rooted I had to reboot twice before TiBu would work properly.
Is Super User in the App Drawer?

If you see the SuperUser app, try forgetting TiBu and then running. Also run the preinstall method again.
Thanks for the help guys. Up and running with TiBu

How come I can update android 1.0 driver I installed the Samsung drivers
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I was able to unlock, root using this method and install superuser but none of the recoveries will stick. I have tried TWRP, Clockwork regular and touch and they will work once and then if I try to go back I just get the dead android guy? Is this a 4.0.4 problem?
Edit- I found the solution. I renamed the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak with root explorer and it fixed it.
I had the same problem and open the one click root script and found this line
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.k-lined.sh
It worked for me.

Custom rom/recovery

Okay so like many of you cwm isn't sticking and when I go into recovery I just have the Google logo, I want to flash ROMs so installed ROM manger and found that if you boot into recovery through that app you can get into cwm.
Would like some advice on which is the best and safest method you have used! Thanks

i assume so, since i use it over and over and over again. anyways, theres a file you have to remove or rename in the /system/ fs that causes the recovery to not stick. most custom roms already have it removed, stock rom you have to remove it. the file is recovery-from-boot.p, rename it or remove it and your recovery will stick(at least twrp, cwm should also).
