Root access

Recommended Posts

Hi

How do I get root access on my ATV585?

Does the latest firmware (update_MyGica_ATV585_20160303.zip) allow root access?

Any patches available?

 

Thanks

The firmware you mentioned comes rooted already

No patch file is needed.

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:

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.

Thanks Andre, we'll give that a try.

I'll let you know if it worked.

Nope didn't work. 
Hubby says he has tried Root Cloak, but still didn't work. :(

Showmax only works on Non-Rooted devices, is the issue you are having
