HBO detects Q10 Pro as rooted - how can this be fixed?
« on: December 30, 2016, 06:17:26 PM »
I have just updated my Q10 Pro to ver 5.1. 1.0.9-FUTEKO-EN. HMD-1.0.9 2016-12-13.091707 according to the instructions using the UPGRADE button.

When testing out my new 'HBO Nordic' subscription, their app will not play any of the content. I have tested the same app on another of my andriod devices where it works, so I guess the Q10 is the problem
In addition, I see that another streaming-pp [TV Overalt by Altibox] positively detects the box as rooted.

Earlier, I have read here on the forum that the box isn't rooted

Is there anything I can do to 'unroot' the box?

Box is not rooted, many apps show positive rooted box because is exist /system/xbin/su
Try after removed
Code: [Select]
adb connect <ip player>
adb remount
adb shell rm -f /system/xbin/su

I've tested your code, but unfortunately it did not solve it. The apps still think the box is rooted.
Can there be anything else to try?

For the record, this seems to be a problem also for other users: link
