Can you, please, upload a nandroid backup of your original rom?

Sent from my LG-P970
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
Zeus seems nice

But if you want,take a look around

There're many roms for p970 here nowaday

47+44+(other)9 = 100%

Cell standby and phone idle percentages are a display bug. Cell standby should be approximately 1-2% per day, phone idle is when the the processor is asleep and should be next to nothing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbunnyuk:
Ok i'm having a major headache finding the files needed to get my phone back to stock on three.

I've flashed it so many times I can't even remember my base firmware (I think it was XWKI3.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the files I need to download so that I can get this thing back to how it was before I started messing with it!

All of the files i've found so far are on multiupload which has been down for sometime!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Search Sammobile.com for the firmware you need & follow whatever instructions they have for flashing same.

Alternatively, if you're happy with the latest firmware available for your phone/carrier/country that you'd normally get via Kies, search for/download the PC version of Checkfus which will enable you to do same. Follow the usual instructions from here to flash the package once you've downloaded it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbunnyuk:
Cheer for this the checkfus way worked like a charm!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No worries :) Yeah, if you're happy with the latest available it works a treat.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbunnyuk:
Wouldn't say I'm happy with it. I just need to try and get 3 to look at my crappy reception in my home.

I'm guessing that if I choose United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) I get debranded stock rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you're not happy with it, easy enough to head over to Sammobile & try to find your original firmware. I don't know the specifics of that particular rom not being in the UK, but Checkfus only dishes up branded/carrier-specific firmware from what I do know (hence you need to search by choosing a carrier in one of the pulldown lists).

Three's network IS crappy. IPhone 4s is my other phone for three and the network is ****. Vodafone or O2 is the best in service..
[Android Apps and Games] mcdevtingz:
The .apk is below, please report whether it works.

According to Sky it should only work on:

HTC Desire

HTC Desire S

HTC Desire HD

HTC Incredible

HTC Sensation

Samsung Galaxy S

Samsung Galaxy S II.

And it only works on Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3), so no ICS yet using the official app.

There are also some issues with root and DRM begin not able to see some content.

credit to Sky for the app.

credit to gumbald for the upload.

[Android Apps and Games] rferrett:
Wonder how/if the scene will get around root restrictions
[Android Apps and Games] mcdevtingz:
You have an S2 which is supported can you upload?!

I think root only blocks not live tv, which is still annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] Stephenarch78:
Yeah - i'd love to try to see if the .apk might work - no harm since its a free app anyway - We could be waiting a long time to get it on other devices. Especially like a tablet.......... Any upload would be greatly apreciated

I've installed this on my rooted Galaxy Nexus (4.02) and when I try and sign in it says," Sorry, Sky Go is not currently supported on this device. Please see FAQs for more information.". :-(
[Android Apps and Games] ItsTobias:
Installs and runs on rooted galaxy nexus, however when you go to sign in, a message pops up saying sky go is not supported on this device. going to take a lot more trickery to convince it that its running on one of the other devices. Thanks for the APK though.
[Android Apps and Games] S1MANC:
I've installed it onto my GS2 (Villian Rom 3.0 (2.3.5) rooted obviously) installs fine but will only play Sky News.. all over channels in my subscription just sit on the loading screen.

Sometimes a error flashes up briefly but to quick to see what it says.

As Sky News is a free to air channel this must be down to DRM restrictions on the other channels and therefore this is why its checking for root access???
[Android Apps and Games] bushbrother:
Thanks for the upload, installs fine on my Nexus but then I cannot sign in, "unsupported device" :(
[Android Apps and Games] shedrule1:
thanks for the file tried running it on my transformer, it installs loads in horizontal mode only and won't let me login as my device isn't supported yet! But its a start I suppose cheers
[Android Apps and Games] bushbrother:
*waits for someone clever to "tweak" the .apk to make it work*
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
Wouldnt changing the buildprop to that of the SGS2 make it work?
[Android Apps and Games] ItsTobias:
I think thats what we will all be waiting for now, I just wonder who will be first, tweaked version from xda devs or oficial version for ICS from Sky.
[Android Apps and Games] rferrett:
I can't even download it because of root presumably.

Anyone know if it works on jailbroken iPhones?
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:

[Android Apps and Games] csteinle:
As an added data point, stock Original Galaxy Tab, .apk from this thread, starts OK but blocked on login due to being an "unsupported device".
[Android Apps and Games] skezza:
By the way, kudos to the modified app earlier on, by the sounds of it, lots of good reports, for those having issues with root and that app, with a bit of luck my app will fix that. But lets see.
[Android Apps and Games] ItsTobias:
Interesting, which rom are you using, I'm running Modaco Custom Rom and it runs fine on that except no video, likely due to the root (however I dont get sky news either so maybe not only root).

However, no version has ever force closed on me, the market version just says incompatible and the fixed version logs in but no video.
[Android Apps and Games] skezza:
OK, just been swamped with requests so give me 5 mins get through them all :P
[Android Apps and Games] Demus007:
It's working on Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wifi). All channels are working. The picture is a bit stretched but watchable and I ain't complaining. Doesn't work on the Asus Eepad, logs in but doesn't load the channels. Thanks very much Gumbald, your efforts are greatly appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] jameslfc5:

[Android Apps and Games] Lennyuk:
you need the modified version a few pages back
[Android Apps and Games] tee-jay:
Which is why they also blocked the app on the jailbroken iPhone. Oh wait ....
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:
Yes, certainly related to which custom ROM. My DesireHD will play Sky News but nothing else using ARHD6 (based on stock Sense 3.0 DHD ROM) but will not play even Sky News using ARHD7 or Runny 4 (both based on Sense 3.5 Sensation XL).

Any ideas for this error??

Thanks for all your help
[Android Apps and Games] Lennyuk:
lots of HC users seem to get this error, not sure why, hardware acceleration issue maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] gumbald:
It must be checking for something within the app, just really can't work out where. Pulser has disappeared after saying he's worked out where!
[Android Apps and Games] Lennyuk:
he said he might be onto something, and he found out where but it was very complex so he stopped.

[Android Apps and Games] crociatolaw:
How is my link wrong? work on my Note and S2 both ICS 4.0 untampered with?

Re: the above quote.

Now, I know I'm a NOOB, but I would very much like to believe that I am not dumb, certainly not enough to post for fellow Galaxy Note users, a link to a non-working version of Gumbalds App :rolleyes:

I'm confused as to how it can be wrong AND work fine, can anyone explain please for me?

Without malice, but genuine interest for an answer, if I have erred and linked to the wrong app then how come it works on a uninterfered with Galaxy NOTE on ICS 4.0 and on a Galaxy S2 on ICS 4.0, also uninterfered with? :confused::confused::confused:

Both of them will playback perfectly and show all the channels that I subscribe to on SKY tv too. Basically, every channel on SKYGO I subscribe to so can watch them all :D

I can also use the HDMI output to view the feeds on any screen or Tv ( I used a 51" Samsung 3D TV and even ran 2d-3d conversion and it held up rather well, taking the source of the viewing feed into account.....)

I did this via HDMI and and a USB powered Micro HDMI link gizmo attached to the phones.

Now....... weren't they meant to stop that beng possible? Isn't this the reason SKY are hiding behind, and have been all along, the "HDMI out issue"?

From the quote above am I to safely assume that there is there another updated SKYGO app test version to try on other devices too? (A version 1.5 ?)

I also said I'd try the version I linked to on my first post on my two tablets and let people know.... Disability has prevented me from posting again since then, but sadly that APP didn't work on either Motorla Xoom anyway :-( (first version Xoom tablets)

Respectfully,

Cro'
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
I am not sure, but the one you linked to gave me a phone unsupported error, and the 0.1.5 didn't. As simple as that really!
[Android Apps and Games] vwvanman:
I've spent ages trying to get this to work with cm9 and siyah kernel on my sgs2 without any joy. I've resorted to dual booting a stock ROM to make it work.

Would you let us know how you got it to work?

[Android Apps and Games] dave_uk:
Yup, same here except also tried hiding root with SuperSU. Still doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] davestix:
Strange. You have the same set up as me. Could you send me your build.prop and I'll compare the two.
[Android Apps and Games] dave_uk:
Attached as a .txt file.

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] davestix:
Hmmm. It's identical to mine!

Did you install SuperSu via CWM?
[Android Apps and Games] dave_uk:
Think it's originally installed by CF-Root but I have probably uninstalled and re-installed from Play Store somewhere along the way in a vain attempt to get this bloody app to work! :confused:

Nothing seems to make any difference and I just can't bring myself to wipe everything just to make Sky Go work when I will probably just break it again...

Sky, you ****ing muppets, it really doesn't need to be this hard :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] davestix:
The last thing I can think of is to flash SuperSu via CWM. Theres a zip file in the SuperSU thread. It clears all previous su files that skygo maybe detecting.

Like I said before, It's working perfect on mine with identical firmware. Also, Uninstall Voodoo OTA just to keep it clean.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Paul:
Just got OTA ICS on my Evo 3D and to my amazement SkyGo still works (test 1.5).

[Android Apps and Games] crociatolaw:
Working on SGS 2 and NOTE

I turned off data and wifi when I loaded the app from my PC.

I put it in the Applications folder, disconnected from PC.After disconnecting from my PC I did restart my phoneI started the app and logged in with my Sky ID and hey presto, success. Oh, and it has been fine ever since.

I simply looked it up in my folders on my phone and hit the app and it "just did it's thing from there".

Remember neither of my phones is rooted or "played with". I loaded only the test APK into my standard phone into the Applications folder on the internal SD card via PC usb link. Both are operating with ICS4.0 (OTA) updates installed. I have not done anything non-standard to my handsets whatsoever.

I simply guessed that not allowing communication while installing might help like it does on PC's sometimes with torrented old software before you can turn off updating etc. on your program in the C: drive.

Maybe that is how I got lucky? Due to a simple force of habit with software installs for occasional conversions or quick jobs that I basically won't pay fortunes for to get software I'll only use once. I am not certain this is the answer but it is how I always install from "alternative sources" and step for step what I did with this.

Hope this helps........

Hi, I'm new to these forums and I'm hoping for a bit of help. Is it possible to get sky go working on a HTC one x (not rooted)? I installed the apk from this site and the app seemed to work fine (ie channel options loaded and I was able to log in etc) but when I clicked on a channel it just said "loading" for a few seconds and then returned to the channels screen. Is there a way to fix this or not? And if not, is there any fresh news on when the real app will be released for the one x? Thanks in advance

Just for information ...

I have a I9100P (S2) on 4.0.3 using test 0.1.5 apk. If I launch sky go with mhl adapter it kills hdmi signal but by unplugging the mhl usb from phone and then plug back in, i get sky go on my hdtv :D
[Android Apps and Games] crociatolaw:
I have no playback problems with my MHL adaptor either, I just get SKYGO running and then plug in the MHL adaptor, then it's on the TV wherever I may be.

I must be the luckiest Samsung SGS2 and Galaxy Note (both running ICS 4.0) owner on the planet?

With ICS4.0 still in the final stages of "beta testing", (allegedly.....lol), and still weeks if not months away yet from Sky themselves, Gumbalds app has left me really pleased, to make a ridiculous understatement, and has saved me having to get a supplementary phone to use on journeys or when I am visiting/away from home and want to watch some sport, or a footy match or movie etc.

All SKYGO channels play fine for me via the Micro HDMI port too, just the same as on the actual phone screens and, as I subscribe to all of the channels, it plays all SKYGO channels on my TV without problems.

The biggest confusion to me is that the NOTE isn't supported at all, on ICS 4.0 or on the previous setup, so how this works for me without rooting or any adapting of either of the phones is a mystery, but I am not complaining :-)

I just wish I knew why to be able to help others do the same.

RE: post no.1986 - vwvanman - thread page 199:

Hi, did you have any luck with the way I loaded it?

Have you tried both of Gumbalds versions?

I ask as I actually can't remember the versions I used. Version 1 or 1.5 etc.

At the end of the day all that really matters is that the guys on here gumbald et al, have shown sky up and made them look foolish what with all the reason's they are giving out about why it's a hard job to get it to work on ICS and other phone makes and no matter what they are sticking to it. Best laugh to date is that Sky got ad's going about London 2012 on Sky Go and they are using the Galaxy S3 to show this for android phone's, Odd since the S3 is ICS and Sky doesn't allow ICS to work on Sky Go :confused:

Is it anything to do with the way the app registers with the servers. Your version is obviously being rejected with a redirection to update to v 2. Can't it be changed so that the app registers as v2?

Or can the v2 be shown the OS as gingerbread?

Installs to SD card by default. Buh, another good choice Sky.
