Andre 2 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 Great thanks Justin. Installed the update last night and I can confirm I have root privileges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daerhel 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2017 Does having root privileges fix the Showmax issue? Because I've tried installing the update and still can't get it to work, it still says device is rooted. my post here: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andre 2 Report post Posted January 18, 2017 Hi Dearhel No, this actually does the opposite, it gives you root access, which I needed in my case for a remote application. I suspect your device is already rooted. I had a similar problem to you with the DSTV now app. What you need is RootCloak from the app store, worked for me. Root Cloak Plus Give that a shot.
