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.
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.
Try to use a desktop, try different browsers if needed, if you cannot, you may need to physically go to the bank.
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.
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'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.
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 keep waiting for KernelSU support for more devices
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
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.
This might help:
Can't hide root if I'm not actually rooted.
Root so you can hide it?
Seriously though, that might actually work.
Either way, shit like this is why DRM is stupid.
If might work if I could work out how to root it. I can't find a stock image for my device to patch with magisk. Just out of interest, I wonder if there's one available for the edge 40 Neo, if I had got that. I don't have it, but if it supports root, I just might see if I can trade in my phone.
I haven't kept up with the rooting scene but if you want to get into that and are on a budget, a used Pixel might just be the ticket: They're very root friendly and well documented. Good luck!
The thing is, I need the device to support a micro SD card and have decent specs (8GB/256GB/120hz/5Ah) more than I need to be able to root it, but if I can get both I'd be very happy.
Sony Xperia has some nice stuff that might fit those requirements, pretty sure Moto makes at least once phone that meets those specs too but I can't recall the name off hand. Someone was just telling me about it last week and it was made in 2023. I'll let you know if I can remember the name of it.
Thanks, when you remember I'll be interested
Might be the Moto G Stylus I was thinking of, but even if it's not, that looks like it might fit what you're looking for
Oh, sorry if you tried this already but you could also try resetting app data for that app and reloading to see if that helps?
Well, I tried uninstalling the app, restarting the device, and reinstalling it.
Shit, yeah that would wipe the app data too. Sorry buddy, I'm out of ideas. DRM is bullshit :(
