update :(

Another one who would appreciate the v1.3.3 apk if anyone has it backed up.

Or a workaround.

I unrooted in SU and left it like that, all "root test" software says that I am unrooted but Barclaycard says that I am. I wonder how it is detecting it.

NEW Barclays Update - "Mobile says no"

Hello,

Exactly the same problem this end.

Galaxy S2 Rooted, Latest Jellybean, SuperSU - Been working through every single solution known to xda-kind without any luck at all. I wonder if Barclays have done something new in their brand new update which I updated yesterday.

:(

Sooooo annoying!!

If anyone has a reply to this with a workable solution I would be really grateful.

1.4.1 Update Still Not Good

Noticed today that there were loads of ppl on market without root having problems with this app, and that there was a new update to 1.4.1 aval.

Went through the process of how to get it to work with this new update and that is still not working.

I have noticed that since the update to 1.4 and todays update to 1.4.1 it is actually bringing up SuperSu permissions to grant, where i never had this with the 1.3.3 version. Has anyone got any more light on the subject or anyone managed to find a 1.3.3 version of this app?
[Galaxy S III General] gazza1988:
I have 1.3.3. I'll upload it somewhere.

I've uploaded to Dropbox. Hope it works it's first time I've done it.
[Galaxy S III General] smegal:
This works. However, I need the Barclaycard app. :(
[Galaxy S III General] gazza1988:
Sorry mate I'm too poor for a barclaycard :D

Do you know which version you need and I can ask a friend of mine if he has that version. I know he backs everything up and often so maybe he has it
[Galaxy S III General] smegal:
If you could ask him if he has any version prior to 1.1.1

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III General] blakey1971:
Cheers, Great, I have this app working again, although i would like to know what they have changed in v1.4.1, as I say it brings up a SuperSu request.

Maybe someone will find a work around to get the latest version working on rooted phones, til then this works, thank alot again !!!

UPDATE!!!

Downloaded and installed v1.3.3 and working well, thought i would give v1.4.1 a try from the market as it seems that v1.4 was causing a lot of problems, but v1.4.1 comes up with connecting to network error, so detatch this from the market so you don't update this app by accident and then have to go through the remove and re-install again.

Hopefully some clever bod out there will find a work around to use the latest version.
[Galaxy S III General] gazza1988:
Sorry mate he hasn't got barclaycard just the banking app. He's now in the same situation as us with them because he didn't realise there was an app for the Barclaycard.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Looking at the permissions it seems it needs to know what apps have been running. Maybe this is how it knows it is rooted. I have tried removing this permission but the app doesn't function at all
[Galaxy S III General] smegal:
Thank you for asking though.
[Galaxy S III General] fma965:
yeah my tutorial is no longer working either, looking for a way around it currently.

so does 1.3.3 actually still work as I can bypass root on that but I couldn't get the app to work

I do hope someone finds a way round it. I never found a standard ruu for my phone and operator, so am stuck.
[Galaxy S III General] scote:
I was on the phone to them this morning and told them I had reflashed stock and it still didn't work. The person in the escalation team said it was a problem with samsung devices because their app now use the flash counter and modification status among other checks for root and they said it is very difficult to undo these things, I told them it was not, and people have to do these things to make warranty claims. So I said to them that was not a valid check for root, they said if you have ever rooted or flashed/jailbroken you would not be able to use their app and you should speak to samsung. Complete b****t.

I am just d'ling a 4.1.2 rom and will root it and run triangle away and see if I can get the status to unmodified and see if that fixes it then unroot. I may even need to wipe too, going to be painfull.

Then see if I can get a hidden root installed.

I wonder how long barclays will allow the old app to access the server? My problems started with a server exception, then I uninstalled and reinstalled. They have to reset your registration for you to reinstall. I bet their support people are busy at the moment
[Galaxy S III General] smegal:
Strangely, my Barclaycard app updated today. Now it seems to work. I guess they realised that excluding unrooted phones is a but harsh. I've turned auto updates off in case.
[Galaxy S III General] blakey1971:
1.3.3 Still working

Yes 1.3.3 is still working on my phone, downloaded the app from here and uninstalled supersu, reinstalled supersu and updated the binary, installed 1.3.3 and re-registered and works fine. Even updated to 1.4.2 just to see if fixed but same trouble as 1.4 and 1.4.1, so just reinstalled 1.3.3 over the top and working fine.

yeah i know how XDA Work's i wasn't trolling, you would know that if you saw my post count and XDA Status. I was just saying your method won't work for some one on CM nor would it work for any 1 with superuser.apk in /system. IF they don't have the app data (not the apk) already.

Also just to be clear, I'm glad you found a solution but "begging for thanks" and "making new threads for the same things" are not really the best way to go about doing it.
[Galaxy S III General] deanr1977:
I'm not begging for thanks, if you really want thanks ask nicely & I will add a link to your post? If people want an alternative they can make there own minds up which is best for them? But if you want that link then maybe you should do the same for me

I don't want to be thanked i don't care about thanks, i used to but now i don't, Not to mention that RC's are also not allowed to ask for thanks and neither should any 1 IMO, If some one wants to thank you they will :). The thing that annoyed me was it was clear you got information from this thread and yet didn't even mention or give credit to any of the guys here in this thread. You also insisted on not mirroring the file even though its the same as any other 1.3.3 APK
[Galaxy S III General] deanr1977:
Point 4. Was sarcasm.... do you have you no sense of humor?

I did not use any info from your post because it was all from my own knowledge of my own experience while using the bank app when it updated

LOL, Ok, Not sure how its trolling but ok.

....

If your method actually works then great, but personally i don't see how it will hence this discussion in the first place, As far as i can see all you was upload a apk and link to it from the existing barclays bank thread, I don't see how using titanium backup with 1.3.3 will make it work unless you already had it installed, and have followed another previous guide.

[Galaxy S III General] alexktz:
What is the current status of this?

I havn't rooted my Nexus due to this very reason but am very tempted to do so to fix a number of little annoyances software wise.

I successfully got the banking app working on my S4 in the summer last year but things can change quick in this game, so can someone confirm for me either way the current status of this app on a rooted device (from scratch).

[Galaxy S III General] arghness:
RootCloak Plus works for me, with the latest release of the Barclays app.

Previously I was just running the older build of the Barclays app that didn't check for root so carefully, with auto-update disabled.

i have a phone with stock rom but rooted. Start the apps stupidly and it detected room. Have uninstalled root (by option in supersu), have checked that its no longer rooted using titaniumbackup., Everytime I start the mobile app it says the device is rooted.

Its leaving some trace of the root on the phone, can anyone suggest where it leaves a marker on the phone?. I've tried the app with no inet and get the same error so its a local flag of some sort. HELP! :crying:

I've tried a load of techniques on mine to try and get it working, also removed root with SuperSU, and for me it says I'm still rooted too...

If you are already rooted, doesn't xposed module with rootcloak work? It works with other apps.... (I don't use Barclays)
[Galaxy S III General] Ben-B:
Rootcloak didn't work for me. Then again, even removing root didn't work for me, so it's hard to know if there's a Barclays app issue, or an issue with the custom rom appearing to ha e root when it doesn't.

have you also tried xprivacy? there you can modify the access an app can have

I did steps 3+4 and got the app working except the text never comes through with the verification code, But I guess that is a problem barclays end. Just for note my su file was in system/bin/ not system/xbin/ so anybody that can't find it have a look there.
[Galaxy S III General] Faz1980:
Hi Hendy, nice one for getting it working.

Do you use SU or SuperSU?

I use SuperSU and don't have an 'su' file in the 'system/bin/' folder, only the 'system/xbin/' folder.

Can you let me know please? It looks like there is some differences now. We just need to find out what causes them.
[Galaxy S III General] Faz1980:
Also, the first time I set it up on my previous phone, I never got the text and had to get the app to resend it. Pain in the arse!
[Galaxy S III General] dhendy91:
Hmm no matter what I do I can're get the text so maybe it's not working. Will try some other stuff and report back. I'm using super su but in my system app folder it was originally called superuser....weird
[Galaxy S III General] dhendy91:
I was getting no where so I did these three steps

1. Reinstalled the Barclays App

2. Went into super SU and update my binaries

3. Followed steps 1+2 (My SU file was now in xbin)

All working now thanks for your help :D

I have tried this on the Skygo app however it Always comes up with just as your about to start streaming. Skygo is not supported on rooted Android devices.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Sky have far too many checks in their app

They check for various root binary locations

They check for various root app locations

They check for custom kernels (hence the limited device support)

They check for custom recovery (hence the limited device support)

They check that you are on the correct phone and android version number

In other words, we are never hacking this thing.

Can't get this working on my end. I'm on CM9, which comes with superuser. Tried the trick with su file, to no avail.

I flashed a rom yesterday, downloaded the Barclays app update (1.1), hid the su file in the xbin folder and renamed supersu and it worked again for me after the update.

I'll keep testing the updates until they fix it then go back to the last working version.
[Galaxy S III General] slinkydonkey:
I tried to hide the su file as requested but it does not work for me more worrying is that is re-enabled the SIM Lock on my mobile so please can you advise how to un hide the su file! as my mobile is rather useless at the moment ...
[Galaxy S III General] Faz1980:
Sorry it's not worked for you. Strange that SIM lock has come on too.

Open your file explorer then the mount system as writable.

Locate the SU file (in the xbin folder) and long press on it. In the popup menu should be the option to unhide it.

Give it a reboot too.

Let me know if that fixes things for you.
[Galaxy S III General] slinkydonkey:
I found out how to unhide the file but the sim lock is still there its ok ill re root it again tonight ...i really wanted to get the app to work though as I need it for my business.
[Galaxy S III General] Faz1980:
Can you disable it in System Settings > Security & Lock Screen > SIM Lock?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Your on a thread entitled "[how to] Barclays Mobile Banking working on rooted S3" of course you need root to hide su (root) wtf do you think your doing otherwise?
[Galaxy S III General] slinkydonkey:
I did check this setting but its simply asking me to enter the PIN which I don't have, just to be clear my mobile was bought off ebay and locked to the Three network..I had to root it so I could use http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/voodoo-galaxy-s-iii-sim-unlock_cmvbf.html to Sim unlock the mobile.

I am at home now and have tried to re-root my mobile using Odin ..which works but soon as I try to sim unlock using Voodoo (which worked before I hid that file you suggested) it fails and the mobile asks me for the SIM PIN....so my mobile is effectively useless :( let this be a warning to others

PayPal seem quite happy to let you run their app on a rooted phone.

[Galaxy S III General] Faz1980:
Did you make a Nandroid backup at any point? If not, all I could suggest is backup what you need, wipe and restore.
[Galaxy S III General] Vap0ur:
Hide my Root

Just found that the app Hide my Root seems to do the trick for the Barclays app.

Of course, enabling and disabling root every time you want to use the app isn't ideal, but it's certainly better than nothing!

EDIT: Once configured, do NOT run the Barclays app without 'hiding' your root, as it will wipe all your configuration, and you'll have to set it up again. Also, the Hide my Root app does seem a bit flakey. Make sure you click on both 'hide app' and 'hide binary'. It will likely give you error messages (but it seems to work).

You'll notice the restore app / binary doesn't work, but if you run SuperSU it'll just prompt you to install the binary again which restores the root just fine.

I have and use Superuser (instead of SuperSU) on my phone, but for some reason SuperSU was also on it. Once I deleted SuperSU from system/app using ES File Explorer, both the Barclays & Pingit apps worked fine, even though the phone is still fully rooted via Superuser.

This tells me that the Barclays App is simply looking for the SuperSU App on your phone - if you don't have it, it assumes all is well and loads.

I guess the App doesn't check if the phone itself is actually rooted, edited or modified in any way, it just looks for the SuperSU app.

Hopefully Barclays wont realise there's also Superuser about, otherwise they'll get the app to look for that too.
[Galaxy S III General] testify2000:
So are you saying you didn't have to rename any files or do anything?
[Galaxy S III General] ssmmdd:
Didn't have to re-name anything at all. Just completely remove SuperSU. Once I did that, it loaded fine, no other changes required.
[Galaxy S III General] fannie:
Tried this but not working for me :(
[Galaxy S III General] leonforthewin:
I'm in the same boat as yourself except I have never had SuperSU installed; just Superuser. The 'su' file in system/xbin does appear for me, but 'hiding' it (should it do something within ES Explorer to show it's hidden?) doesn't do anything. The app runs fine for me, even before I starting fiddling however it won't receive the confirmation number text. Sadddnusssss....

Within this thread we have a few types of issues that aren't clearly stated. We have people who can load the Barclays Banking app and others who can't. The ones who can seem to get stuck once they have entered all of their details since they don't receive the confirmation text they were promised. We also have people who don't have the full functionality of the app such as transfers – could be a root issue or general issue.

It may help all of us that can't get it working, if we state what you can or can't do with the app.

Hmmmm. I was getting the "not getting a text message" thing, but I assumed it was a problem with O2 / Barclays. I'll look more into it, maybe if you apply both my fix AND the "permissions" (or one of the other suggestions) that may make the app work.

Strangely enough, on my previous phone (same as current) that I smashed like an idiot, it worked fine...
