Prior to rooting my razr I had rented several movies off the market and watched them on my TV. It worked like a charm and video quality on my 40" Samsung was quite good.

I rooted the phone the other week and I now see that i am no longer able to rent and watch movies on my razr. It specifically tells me that since my device is rooted I can't rent movies.

Is there a fix for this? Do I need to lose root?

Also, is YouTube acting up for anyone else? All of a sudden it is force closing like crazy!

It is dmr and copyright fear's. They think that just because you root, you are a roothless media hacker trying to steel their product.
Download OTA Rootkeeper from the market. I don't see why this will not work. Although i haven't tried this myself. Just do a temp unroot. Watch your movie restore root. Its simple and takes all of one click and a sec to do. Let us know if it works for you.

Oh well, your ota root keeper trick works. Thanks for that.

Just to point it out, on the OTA Rootkeeper market page they specifically say this is what it is not intended for. I'm not giving you grief, just saying I think it is funny. Good to know it works, I've been debating renting a few myself and it's good to know this works.

Lol if thats not a prime example of profiling, I don't know what is! I didn't even know what rooting a device meant until very recently, let alone to know how to steal a movie with a cell phone! Thats too funny, everyone is getting just a little too uptight about these copyright issues recently. Well I guess its like the old saying "It only takes one person, to ruin it for everyone."

Gotta appease that Juggernaut waste of time/space known as the MPAA... Truthfully though piracy in the movie industry is huge and I understand them wanting to protect it. On the other hand most people aren't going to care to pirate from a phone but who am I to judge.
