Struggling with Rooted Android Banking Apps? Try These 10 Effective Fixes!
Running banking apps on a rooted Android device can be tricky, but it’s not impossible. Rooting opens up many possibilities but also brings challenges, especially with security-sensitive apps like banking and payment platforms. Let’s break down ten practical methods to help you bypass these obstacles and get your apps running smoothly.
Solution 1: Pass the Play Integrity Test
Use an unrevoked keybox XML file to pass the Play Integrity Test (Basic, Device, and Strong). This method works for apps like Google Pay and PayTM. Keep all modules intact for subsequent fixes if this doesn’t work.
Solution 2: Edit Tricky Store’s Target File
- Locate your banking app’s package name.
- Navigate to data/adb/trickystore using a file manager.
- Add the package name to the target.txt file, save it, and restart your device.
Solution 3: Add App to Magisk Denylist
- Open Magisk > Settings > Configure Denylist.
- Enable Denylist for your banking app and clear its data. Restart your device.
- If unsuccessful, remove the app from Tricky Store’s target.txt file and retry.
Solution 4: force Denylist in Magisk
- Go to Magisk Settings and enable “Enforce Denylist.”
- Test your banking app; disable this option if it conflicts with Shamiko or Tricky Store modules.
Solution 5: Hide the Magisk App
Rename or hide the Magisk app from its settings menu to prevent detection by banking apps.
Solution 6: Switch to Zygisk Next Module
- Disable Zygisk in Magisk settings and restart your device.
- Download and flash the Zygisk Next module via Magisk, then test your banking app again.
Solution 7: Use Hide My Applist
Create a hidden template for rooted apps (Magisk, LSPosed, etc.) using Hide My Applist. This tool simplifies concealing root-related files from banking apps.
Solution 8: Remove Rooted APKs from Storage
Delete files like Magisk.apk, LSPosed.apk, or twrp.img from internal storage as banking apps may scan for them.
Solution 9: Use Root Detection Apps
Install tools like the Ruru module via GitHub and LSPosed to identify leftover root binaries or flagged files. Address suspicious entries listed by the app.
Solution 10: Switch to Unofficial Magisk Forks
Consider using unofficial versions of Magisk, such as Magisk Kitsune, which may bypass root detection more effectively.
Bonus Method: Use KernelSU Instead of Magisk
Uninstall Magisk entirely and root your device through KernelSU instead. Pass the Play Integrity Test with KernelSU before applying other fixes.
Rooting complicates interactions with secure apps, but these methods provide a solid roadmap to regain functionality while maintaining root access. Experiment with combinations of fixes until you find what works for your specific setup.
