Hi great work guys.

after downloading and installing the hacked sky go i no longer get the unsupported device message, i then choose a channel and it loads up to 100 percent then i get a streaming error (error:37) message. Anyone else having this problem?. Thanks again guys.
[Android Apps and Games] darren1:
I also get the (error37) on my Orange Monte Carlo (ZTE SKATE) using all the skygo_test apks when trying to view Sky News.

What are the chances of getting HDMI out working for those of us with MHL adapters?
[Android Apps and Games] casper6391:
Woah there cowboy one step at at time! But its not impossible by the looks of it.
[Android Apps and Games] gumbald:
Looks like this error is "live viewing general error" - has it ever worked? Could be temporary on their side.

Right, here's an updated version that should get people further on wi-fi only devices. Not expecting any video still yet though. There's more of you than I expected!

Usual disclaimers apply: I'm not responsible if your cat runs away, your device gets bricked, Sky send you a bill for "those channels" and your wife finds out. Use this at your own risk.

Have always got error37 when using the ZTE SKATE.

Hi Guy's..

Mine is now working.

SGS2, CriskeloROM v38 flashed the above stock Kennel, then hid root with Voodoo OTA.

Now ALL channels work...

Awesome work guys...
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
Ok I've tested again with my same setup as in Google log but this time with a stock HTC kernel. Same results. I think I'm having issues with root but for the life of me can't get any of the apps to hide my root. Is there anychance someone can send me the skezza mod to test this. PLEASE.

Hey,

download the following file through your phone and unzip to same directory with Zipper7 from market:

http://www.2shared.com/qs/1/Kernel_I9100XWLA4.7z

password: intratech@XDA

Now run Mobile ODIN, select kernel and browse your unzipped kernel file and install.

After reboot go to market and install VOODOO OTA RootKeeper.

Click the Tem. un-root button, open Sky Go any happy viewing!!! :)

(If anyone has trouble after this try installing Root Manager from speed software and ensure your directory is mounted as r/w not r/o)

Nearly there now mate. Just downloaded the lastest app above on my wifi only galaxy tab 10.1.

No, your kernel is basicaly what u phone uses to manage ur power/battery life so u will not lose root or any data

Is Sky News the key?

Either when unashamedly Rooted or when Hidden-rooted (via Voodoo Rootkeeper)

and in all the apks Gumbald has released,

Sky News once logged into Sky Go, Streams beautifully on me HTC Desire HD.

Still have faith you guys will find a way to get the premium channels (Which we have paid for) working on rooted phones without losing the mod kernels/Roms.

On the eepad TF101, with Gumbald v.5, I got error 9 on sky news, error 10 on sky 1, error 10 on sky sports 3, error 9 on sky movies family (after restarting the tablet), error 10 on sky moves comedy, error 10 on sky news. Closed app, cleared cache and then cleared data. Logged in again, error 9 on Sky movies action, error 10 on Sky movies thriller. Closed app, cleared cache and data, error 9 on sky sports 4 then error 10 on sky sports 1.

Error 9 appears to happen the first time you try any channel after logging on and then error 10 on any subsequent channel tried after that.

Guys..

I've been reading this thread for the last couple of days and have tried every solution quoted but had no joy, until now!

-I have installed a STOCK kernel XWKI8 which took me a very long time to find.

-using OTA root keeper

-sky go (from Market)

It works flawlessly on my S2.

Going abroad tomorrow and hoping it works via VPN so I could watch footie in the weekend.

Here's the link to the original/insecure kernels

Soz, newbie so can't post external links!!!!!

[Android Apps and Games] ferraridave:
You can flash it using CWM manager app from within android, just unzip and place the zImage on the root of your internal SD card, or put it into a .tar file and flash with ODIN.

Here's a link for the CWM manager apk, really easy to switch kernels with this.

You need stock samsung rom . 2.3.3 or 2.3.5 you can root but need to hide the root for the app to work. You can theme it yourself using various launchers etc .

[Android Apps and Games] ry3126:
Hi i have a galaxy ace, before reading these posts i tried editing my build.prop, this go the market to think my phone was an s2 and also allowed me to sign in on the original market skygo app. However streams would load on every channel but as soon as it started playing i'd get error 37.

since i have restored to original stock rom on 2.3.6 without any root and tried each app 1.0.1-1.0.5. Every app give exactlty the same results as my first method.

only thing i can guess at is there extra checks when opening streams, something to do with the kernel maybe?

unfortunately i have no clue about this stuff.

is there anyway to edit my galaxy ace kernel to make the sky app think its an s2, similar to what i did with the build.prop?

Thanks for all your work, it's been doing my nut the way sky treats anyone not apple.

[Android Apps and Games] rozel:
Hi guys - my first post, so be gentle please.

This has been asked before on this thread but I do not quite understand.

I have a SGS2 (GT-I9100) - it is on Gingerbread 2.3.4 (an unbranded UK phone - this is the latest as per Kies) and I have rooted using a Chin-Fire kernal - KI4.

To get Sky Go working I need to flas a Stock Kernal - right? I don't understand that by doing this, why it will not make my phone unrooted once more?

Stock = original so falshing a Stock kernal over a rooted kernal would make things go back to how they were before rooting :confused:

I obviously have tried to get Sky Go working but it is stuck on 0% on all channels bar Sky News - even with Voodoo OTA.

If someone could explain this to me in some detail, I would be immensly grateful. I assume that I would need to flash a Stock KI4 kernal? What is the difference between an original one and an unsecure one please?

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] x2srj:
I see you have a bit of a red issue here, I'll see if I can locate these for you...
[Android Apps and Games] shedrule1:
hi rozel

not any type of expert and maybe someone will explain in more detail but its not the kernel of your device that is rooted....

however sky check for modified kernels hence the need to have a stock kernel in use in association with voodoo or some sort of root hider

i believe this is how it is but i may be very wrong lol

[Android Apps and Games] basscowboy:
This is exactly what happens on my Desire HD running ARHD 7.0.0. I can restore to ARHD 6.3.1 and get Sky News working.

I've got a backup on my pc somewhere of the stock ROM, rooted, with the stock kernel but it's on Android 2.3.3. Will hunt it down later tonight and try flashing...

I'll put these on the spreadsheet when I get on my pc ...

Good work again everyone!!!
[Android Apps and Games] jamsie:
Im in same situation as yourself. ARHD 6.3.1 (with the kernel it's rolled out with, tried hiding root, made no difference) so just getting the news.

I did however find it hilarious that the only way sky have seen fit to justify blocking rooted devices, is to suddenly block the Jailbroken iOS devices. Guess their "content providers" weren't too fussed about letting Jailbroken iOS devices watch the streams :-/
[Android Apps and Games] Nyssa1104:
Look on the spread sheet to see which skygo aann method works for your fone. search for spread sheet in the tread. Or flash original kernal for fone and skygo good to go out the box..
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
This is how I got my rooted HTC Desire to run Sky Go.
[Android Apps and Games] wicksta1:
I don't think there is a big conspiracy, a lot of apps like this check for jailbreaks now (LoveFilm etc.) and I imagine this is something that the studios have demanded. When the Android version of Sky Go was released the iPad version changed as well and new channels appeared like Sky 1, Sky Arts etc. so I imagine the jailbreak check was just rolled out at the same time. I doubt that jailbroken iOS devices would have been continued to be allowed no matter whether an Android version came out or not.

Working with Arc

I have managed to get the app working using the Sky_go test apk 1.1 I have lost root though now and my Arc is super slow. Hope fully the guys over here at XDA will sort it out for us.

I had to install stock rom and kernel for it to work.
[Android Apps and Games] dj_sploits:
I have this working

Hi,

Following instructions found in this post I have this working on my SGS2 if anybody is interested.

My SGS2 is rooted so I popped the OTA rootkeeper on (the voodoo thingy).

I told it to temporarily un-root.

I checked my kernel and I am using 2.6.35.7-Phenomenal3.0BlackExtreme

Android Version 2.3.6

I used the Sky Go app directly from the market and the app works. I tried Sky One, Sky Movies & Sky Sports News and they all went to 100% and streamed with no problems.

Apologies if this has been posted before. I had looked through a few pages and got the general jist of what to do but didnt fancy trawling through 70+ pages to see if this method (kernel etc) had been listed.

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] basscowboy:
I think it's safe to say that it's the modified kernels that are causing the issues.

I was thinking of flashing a stock HTC desire HD kernel over ARHD 6.3.1 to see if it would work but understand that the stock kernel is ext3 while ARHD is ext4???

Am I right in thinking I could converted my ext4 using (4ext recovery) to ext3 before flashing, and the stock kernel would then work after flashing???

Could it then be converted back.to.ext4 and still work???

BTW, I'm no dev, just a tinkerer ;)

Also, hunted high and low for a stock kernel for 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 and only found one, which was a broken multiupload link. Can I extract the kernel from the stock, rooted, 2.3.3 backup I have and if so can anyone use it to make a flammable zip???

Might be useful for lots of us Desire HD owners.....

[Android Apps and Games] chrisw99:
My experience for what it's worth.

I have a rooted Sensation running stock 2.3.4, the official app only worked on Sky News. When I use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to hide root, it all works fine!!

Yesterday I installed Android HD Revolution custom ROM. This actually changed my model to a Sensation XE so the official app stopped working.

I downloaded the apk from post 129 in this thread, which got around that device check, but I can only play Sky News. Even hiding root with Voodoo OTA rootkeeper still only played Sky News.

So I restored my stock image from a nandroid backup, and all is back working again when I use voodoo.
[Android Apps and Games] Rich3177:
Its seems like you either have to have stock ROM or stock kernel but not both to get the voodoo ota working. Can anyone with stock ROM but custom kernel verify this?
[Android Apps and Games] basscowboy:
That would tie in with what I've found chrisw99. I take it you installed ARHD 7.0.0, which I'm sure is a port from the Sensation xe.

ARHD 6.3.x is based on a stock Desire HD ROM. It's the custom kernel that's causing problems for that. If we could get a version of ARHD 6.3.x with a stock kernel, I reckon it'd work !
[Android Apps and Games] wonneil:
Before I download and try with the OTA Rootkeeper, after you temp unroot, how easy is it to then go back to root?
