Don't quote my name on this, but to get it to work, do the following:

  • decompile .apk with APKTool
  • open smali\com\BMBBeta\app\NRegSplashActivity.smali
  • Remove the # static fields lines up until # instance fields (the SU checks etc)
  • Edit the isRootedDevice and runRootCommand functions to be the following:
    Code: 
    .method private isRootedDevice()Z
    .locals 7
    const/4 v0, 0x0 
return v0
.end method

.method private runRootCommand()Z
    .locals 7
    const/4 v0, 0x0 
return v0
.end method
  • Recompile .apk
  • Sign .apk
Barclays 1.3.3 for Rooted Devices I am not responsible for anything that happens with you, your millions of $, your phone, your cat or potato salad by using this method or file.

I started with this APK, then searched for nreg_rooted_device which had an id of 0x7f03004d. This only appeared in jajajj.smali so as an experiment I commented out that line and the resulting APK (attached) works without doing anything to the phone. This is 1.3.3.

I do now.

I've been trying to do 1.5.1 all night, even getting as far as completely removing modified: smali/com/barclays/bmb/ui/screens/registration/RootedPhoneActivity.smali but still no joy. If I remove res/layout/nreg_rooted_device.xml the app crashes on startup with logcat saying there was a null pointer in NRegSplashActivity. I think I need to learn an Android debugger to proceed past this point. It's probably being done by the random-looking named smali files.

I learned a little smali and tracked down the Submit button which preceeds the root detection to smali/com/barclays/bmb/ui/screens/registration/ReviewAccDetailsActivity.smali an instance of btSubmit is passed to the OnClick method when it gets clicked. There I get lost as I don't quite understand packed-switch. There are some calls to the smali files with the weird names there and I wonder if that's where the root detection comes in.

To
Code:

ro.build.tags=release-keys

4. Download "SuperSU" from PlayStore
5. Find "Full Unroot" in the settings. And do it.
5. Flash this file ( http://puu.sh/372bd.zip ) using CWM or TWRP Recovery
6. Reboot once file is flashed
7. Download "SuperSU" from PlayStore AGAIN!
8. Load SuperSu "update binary" (Do not move app to system)

In 1.5.1 I've stripped out nreg_rooted_device.xml and both NotSupportedContent1 and NotSupportedContent2 strings yet somehow it's still showing me the RG24 error message.

    DO NOT USE THIS TUTORIAL WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, SITES HAVE COPIED THIS AND NOT GIVEN CREDIT TO ME OR LINKED THIS POST.

    Hello well firstly i would like to say thanks to many people in this thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1823649

    So be sure to thank the people who deserve it.

    CURRENT METHODS PATCHED DUE TO BARCLAYS FORCING LATEST VERSION.

    Click the "show" button below to see old methods that no longer work.

    There are 3 Methods to getting this to work. The first method is extremely simple and automated should work for everyone but untested, The second method should work for everyone (hopefully) but is harder and more time consuming. The third method will only work for people who previous had the app working.
    Method 1 (Xposed) (Credit to @HiddenRambler) NEW
    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49296437&postcount=8

    Method 2 (Semi-Automatic)
    This will automatically patch the build.prop and install 1.3.3 barclays (make sure to not have barclays mobile banking installed before). Please show consideration by clicking thanks as this automated method took a little time as i was rusty on edify syntax.

    1. Download and flash this zip file in CWM or TWRP recovery (cyanlabs.co.uk/Automated Barclays Root Fix 1.0.zip).

    See source of above zip file.
    Code: 
    ui_print("*********************");
ui_print("Barclays Mobile Banking 1.3.3 Automated Fix");
ui_print("Created By Fma965 @ XDA-Developers");
ui_print("*********************");
ui_print("- Mounting /system, /data and rootfs");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/build.prop");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/data/app/SuperuserCWM.apk");

ui_print("- Unmounting /system and /data");
unmount("/system");
unmount("/data");

ui_print("- Done - Be Sure to click thanks on XDA!");

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Method 3
    1. Download Build Prop Editor, click "ro.build.tags" and change the "test-keys" to "release-keys" press "save"
    2. Reboot to Recovery
    3. Flash this file http://cyanlabs.co.uk/downloads/Other/Barclays_Root_Fix_v3.0.zip (if it doesn't work try this http://cyanlabs.co.uk/Barclays Root Fix v2.0.zip) using CWM or TWRP Recovery
    4. Reboot
    5. Download "Barclays Mobile Banking v1.3.3" (Thanks to gazza1988)
    6. Go to Barclays in the Google Play store. Press the menu button and untick "Auto Update"
    7. Setup mobile banking


    *If you have 3 devices registered already you will need to contact Barclays to get your accounts reset.

    Not sure if allowed (please let me know if not, Moderators), but since there's modified versions of WhatsApp etc as well I'm guessing it would be ok. It's not warez.
    Don't quote my name on this, but to get it to work, do the following:

    • decompile .apk with APKTool
    • open smali\com\BMBBeta\app\NRegSplashActivity.smali

.method private runRootCommand()Z
    .locals 7

    • Recompile .apk
    • Sign .apk

    I googled a bit and found apktool which decompiles apks then I edited the source but I can't rebuild the apk because I only have a phone, no PC and the aapt binary is for x86 Linux (I installed Ubuntu on my phone). Here is a thread that gives a whirlwind tour of how to patch apps.

    In ./smali/com/BMBBeta/app/NRegSplashActivity.smali there is a function called isRootedDevice. Probably making this always return false if you learn a little smali or maybe deleting calls to it all together should make it work.
