I can't root my phone because I don't have an image for it (Moto G73) although I'd like to, but for some reason my banking app thinks it's rooted and refuses to work. This happened just after I updated it, it wasn't happening before.
Edit: I'm regretting not getting the Motorola Edge 40 Neo, which also costs £250, but is slightly better in multiple ways, and seems like it has better root support.
Would not recommend rooting anymore, as many apps that have a financial/banking/CC aspect will stop working. Like this one. Rooting used to serve great purposes & had no drawbacks; now there aren't many perks and many punishments. Even your Snapchat will refuse to work, probably because "you can use Snapchat to send & receive money". No one does, but that doesn't matter.
That sucks & I'm sorry. This (probably) wouldn't have helped with a banking app, which forces you to update frequently, but I do not update apps unless: they are buggy, there's an update I'd really like, or I am forced. Not all updates are good.
I think there's magisk module that can bypass that but i forgot what's name
3 years ago i unlock bootloader + install custom ROM/Kernel in my mom phone (bc it's still running very ancient android) & install magisk after that i activate the module that can hide magisk presence (forgot what's name) so all e-banking & other payment apps work well
Maybe not ideal but I'm sure the web version of your banking app would work through a browser.
It does, but it's not designed for mobile. I would send a screenshot, but I don't trust myself to censor everything important.
That's a fair point. My old bank which was pretty terrible I never installed their app and found the app just loaded a mobile version of their website so I just used that.
The website also makes me log in with 3 random digits from a pass code and sms verification every time, as opposed to the fingerprint the app required, so it's definitely more of a pain. The website claims to have chat feature to get support, but I don't see it even when I disable ublock origin for the site.
Try to use a desktop, try different browsers if needed, if you cannot, you may need to physically go to the bank.
magisk can hide root from apps
Yes, but only if I actually rooted it, which I didn't. I'd like to root it, but couldn't find any trustworthy image for my phone to patch.
theres usually twrp and from there you just need to install official magisk, no?
I have the magisk app, but I don't think TWRP works on the Motorola g73. Correct me if I'm wrong
thats a bummer. if its a newly released phone it might be a small while until someone compiles it for us.
How are you rooted?
Magisk Hide + Play Integrity Fix should fix it. Also hide all Google play services from detecting root.
I'm not rooted, that's the problem.
I'll go without a phone before I agree to terms like that. I refuse to go without my permission spoofing and privacy enhancements. I'm not giving them unrestricted access to my data, they'll have to at the very least try harder and waste more money on hackers than usual.
I was able to bypass something similar by using apps that create multiple instances of an app, I used Shelter (https://f-droid.org/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/)
I keep waiting for KernelSU support for more devices
