Barclays have finally released a proper banking app for UK Barclays customers, but I can't use it due to root
I've tried temporary root removers, no joy. I've restored the original unrooted ROM using CWM Recovery, no joy. I'm thinking maybe it checks something deeper like the bootloader or recovery perhaps?
Anyone with any ideas?

I'm afraid we'll have to wait for someone that hacks the app...
Desperate to get this working, bloody root checkers...
There is an oher thread. The workaround is this: with permission denied DENY the barclays get task. Reboot. Then system\xbin hide the su file with es file explorer then rename the superuser.apk.. Like superuser2.apk remember u have to rename the superuser every time after reboot. Cheers

Thank you so much. So far I was only hiding su but once I renamed Superuser.apk to Superuser2.apk it worked like a charm! many thanks

I've seen a few threads asking if it is posible to get this working on a rooted S3 so thought I'd share how I got it running.
Software Needed:
Permissions Denied (free from Play Store)
ES File Explorer (free from Play Store)
Barclays Mobile Banking
Steps:
Now, you may be able to just try the last step. I was messing around and managed to get it working after try all the steps without testing in between.
1: After installing Barclays open Permissions Denied and select Banking (the one with the Barclays logo).
2: Deny the 'android.permission.GET_TASKS'
3: Open ES File Explorer, navigate to '/system/app/' and rename SuperSU to anything you want.
4: Navigate to '/system/xbin/' and long press on 'SU' and select 'Hide' from the menu.
NOTE: if you update the SuperSU binary, you will need to do step 4 again!
That's it! I dont know if it will work for everyone but it works for me. I also dont know if Barclays can solve that with an update so I don't plan on updating the app. I'm not a coder and don't know a lot about tje technical details of Android so if you run in to problems I can only TRY to help you.
I've not tried to use any other apps that block rooted phones but feel free to let me know if this works on other things.
Thanks.

Ive been using this for a few days now but just started having FC's.
I just re- enabled the permission and rebooted and it's working again.

Will this work with the Skygo app?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I'm not sure. This is the only app I use that checks for root privileges so haven't tested it on anything else.
Could you give it a try and let me know please? If it works for others then this could be a very useful work around.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I've just downloaded SkyGo and the app opens and I get to the TV guide and get the option to watch it of I sign in. I don't have Sky so can't test any further.
I'm assuming it checks for root when it opens so I'd class that as a success!

Thanks for testing im unable to do it myself because when I open it it fc straight away wich is probably something to do with my rom

Hi Faz - Thanks for the info. But when I install permissions, it asks for busybox. I installed busybox but it still says it has not detected busy box please install.
Any advice??
I cant find superSU in system/apps!?. It's not superuser.apk is it?

Permissions Denied is not free anymore
I've posted here how I got it working on my HTC One S, and I'm pretty sure (or hoping) it'll work on any Android phone.
Didn't paste the post here, unsure on if that's allowed.

This worked for me.
Very happy Galaxy S III user.
Thanks Faz1980.
Thank you so much.
Perfect!
This also works on the Galaxy Note II N7105.
One thing...make sure you use the REBOOT command in Permissions Denied after making the change.
superuser has a temp unroot option, it works to avoid root check on dutch live tv app.. try it

Unfortunately since upgrading my SGS3 to zoot1's version of CM10 with 4.2 Gapps, this stopped working for me.
I think this is mainly because zoot1's ROM comes with Superuser and not SuperSU.
However, I followed the instructions on this blog to remove Superuser and replace it with SuperSU.
I still can't get it to work though.
Why do I keep getting this message???
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I started getting this a bunch earlier today. Phone was incredibly sluggish when this was happening. It took multiple reboots before it stopped and phone started acting like normal
I'm getting the same message quite often running SynergyROM 1.6. Not sure what's causing it.

My GF is on stock (but rooted) and will once in a while get that too... I never do though on Synergy, unless of course I'm trying to access something that needs root.
It has something to do with the superuser binary 3.1.1
Keep superuser installed, download SuperSU from the play store and upon opening it youll get a prompt to update the binary. Do that, uninstall superuser and no more popups, just use supersu instead of superuser from now on.

Installed supersu, I'll see how she responds today. Hopefully the messages will stop!!!

Before I do something foolish, when u say remove super user u mean like use TB and un install completely. I went to the play story to un install but don't have the option

He does mean literally uninstall superuser. SuperSU and Superuser are both apps used to manage root, they function just about the same. Before you go through the hassle, try updating the binary on Superuser. Open the app, flick to the right to info, click on the third option 'su binary'. The click update on the bottom. I
Or if you just want the messages gone, simply turn off notifications.

Do not un-install until after you install supersu. Run that first to give it permissions and to allow it to update. After that you can go into root explorer and delete superuser from the system/apps folder.

Im getting also on a rooted galaxy note but ive not flashed a rom or anything. Just rooted last night but mine seems to hang and then i get the msg. Should i try the same thing that was sugessted? Its kinda annoying
Don't worry about uninstalling Superuser. It's not the actual su binary in linux, it's just a management utility for storing root permissions. You'll keep your root.

This. But you can't keep them both, otherwise they *may* conflict.

Ive installer superSU and updated bianary and still getting this error. Its keeping me from using my keyboard and fcing applications left and right! Its so annoying.
I've also had this issue, and though it seems to have gotten better after a reboot... We'll see if it comes back. I had the same problems with keyboard not appearing and TW FCing along with the phone freezing up. I'm currently on stock rooted using the windows fsdebug app.

Hello,
I've been looking everywhere, and for some time to find a resolution to this issue that I could understand. I have a Samsung Galexy S3 that I've rooted. It has no changes, I only got it to use GameGuardian. While in games, the toast will pop up 3-6 times and then the game will shut down and I'll be back at my menu page. If I reopen the game it works normally. This happens whether or not GameGuardian is running. I am using superuser and have updated the binary. I have also found a post where someone changed to SuperSU and that has not solved the problem for them, but I have not tried this for myself. I'm looking for suggestions on what to do next. Also, I'm not very savvy, so please don't assume I know all the in-between steps. Leave anything out on the assumption that I should know it, and I'm going to get lost.
Thanks much
I have a haipai noble i9220 and was able to root it. It now has super user app and chinese root explorer. I tried to update root explorer and paid for the app in Google Play but when i updated, it says the installed app is not signed and need to uninstall it first. But I can't uninstall it. How do I do it. Sorry, this is my first android device. Hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.
You can uninstall the chinese root explorer (or any system app) with tianium backup. Download it, go to apps, tap on the app and select uninstall.

Thank you so much. I was able to uninstall the chinese root explorer but when I installed the root explorer i paid for in Play Store, it won't install it, it says: Error - Incompatible update. Any thing I could do about this?
Not sure. Try this, though.
Go into settings, applications, manage applications, and see if there is something labeled com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer or something like that. (No icon) and report back.

Thanks for your quick reply. Earlier, when I was trying to install and got an error, I saw that com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer in the apps with the icon in dark color. But just now, I can't find it. So I tried to install again from Play Store and it worked. Thank you so much for your help and patience on newbies like me.

Hi I too am having problems removing the Chinese version of Root Explorer...the problem I'm having is I get the error..
E: unknown volume for path blah
E: can't mount SYSTEM blah
Installation aborted
I've also tried ADB uninstall but it just sits there at waiting for device.
The app is installed to

Have removed app using System ROM Toolbox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liteupmobile.secretcodes&hl=en
I have rooted my Huawei Ascend G700-U10 using Eroot, but I plan on sending my phone back to Huawei due to issues that caused me to root it in the first place. So, naturally, I now wish to unroot my phone.
I did not unlock the bootloader, nor did I install any ROM whatsoever, and am therefore still using the stock ROM. All I did was gain root access. How can I unroot my phone?
What superuser app do you use?
If its chain fire supersu i think it has an unroot option in the app
Before doing this with supersu uninstall root apps like blackbox installer
You could always reinstall update.zip using the stock recovery

I use Superuser as my superuser app.
I can't access the stock recovery, pressing the volume down button during boot does start some process but after a few lines it freezes.

Superuser was made a system app when my phone was rooted. How do I uninstall it?
I recall there being some app that could uninstall system apps but I can't remember it for the life of me.

Its simple
Using some file explorer with root capabilities
Goto system/app
Locate superuser.apk
Delete it

Not that I don't trust you, just don't wanna take any risk since I can't afford a new one.
