It's not rooted by default. But it is a known issue that some apps think/detect root.

Hopefully MINIX will fix this in a future update.

@Marty says "Apps reporting root despite root switch being deactivated. Done in V004 " ???

Nope!

Maybe @Marty has got his wires crossed with the HDMI switch being removed.

 

[Kristijan]

Oh,i'm so disappointed ☹

So,how many day/weaks/month we need wait for this fix?

 

[Marty]

Nope!

Or he was drunk at the time

Should have been this one, now corrected:
Root: Root is deactivated on reboot and shut down, toggle switch needs to be switched off and on again to restore root. Done in V004

No worries @Marty .
It must be almost impossibe to keep the bugtracker thread current.
I do hope though that Minix maintain their own issues / bug / enhancements lists internally

Yes, don't worry, we have an internal bug list and working on 005FW firmware at the moment

Here we go again.
After update on 006 ver. again same shoot with root. OMFG!

Can i return on 005 ver. without this root switch?

 

[Villa]

After update my stream app(MaxTvToGo) detect root.Again!

Can i return on 005 firmware?
I cant wait again 3-4month for next ver. To solve this root shoot.

At what point does the app detect root?

I installed the app and there is no sign of it detecting root with the Root switch disabled or enabled!
Or is it when you sign in/watch something? I don't have an account!

I have an app that used to detect root on previous firmwares when the Root switch is disabled. With FW006, now it does not detect root unless the Root switch is enabled.

Some 'premium' channel(like arenasport,hbo,sportclub,cinemax...) say this device is rooted,and does not wanna play.

I am allowed to launch these app, but when I try to play video/streaming content I get a message saying that 'this device is rooted.

Same problem i have with firmware 004.
Firmware 005 without this root switch all channel work great.

You are now referring to different apps !?

What about MaxTvToGo ?

Are you sure detecting root is the issue and not HDMI ?

Try enabling Fake HDMI...
Settings, MINIX Settings, Display, Screen resolution, Fake Hdmi

Hbo,cinemax,arenasport,sportclub is channels in app 'maxtvtogo'

Fake hdmi is not problem.
When i play this channel i got this message" Device is rooted,playing of content may not work"

So yes root is problem.

 

[Kristijan2]

So,what can i do?
Channels in my app. (MaxTvToGo) not working.

I've put a request to MINIX to provide the firmware without the Root switch.

It sounds like the best option for you at this point is reverting to FW005 non-root by flashing it with USB burning tool.

I did this,now is ok.

But this is big minus for MINIX,this is the second time they've screwed up
MINIX for this price need to be plug&play,not with this problems (2x)

Thanks anyway.
