[HOW TO] Barclays Mobile Banking on rooted S3

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.

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.

[Q] ES File manager destroys root access until reboot

I started with stock at FP5
Used Odin to flash clockworkmod recovery.
Used clockworkmod recovery to install Tweaked3
then installed Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip and su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
and rebooted the phone.
I used the app root checker. it says congratulations you have root access.
Then install terminal emulator from google play
i type "su" and everything works fine.
but when I use ES File explorer and try to enable root features the Superuser dialog comes up like normal. I click yes to allow, like usual, but then ES complains that I don't have root access and then everything there on out tells me I don't have root access.
Superuser reports that the su binary can't be found.
browsing to /system/bin/ and looking myself, i clearly see su sitting there.
I reboot the phone and I'm back to "normal"
I have my root access, everything is fine.
How could ES file manager trying to gain root cause this to happen?
update:
just tried "File Manager" from google play.
same problem as ES
hmmm

I would just avoid ES altogether. It is breaking functionality slowly.

Do I understand you correctly that you have two different superusers installed (Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip and su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip)? Perhaps that may the root (no pun intended) of your problem?

haha nice pun,
well, from my understanding it's not the same thing.
there's the SU binary and then the superuser application that manages other application access to the SU binary.
I got them from androidsu.com/superuser
and installed:
binary only
md5: d78ec986923b72dfdaa71d1db731a8f3
su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
(3.2-RC3)
md5: 6462ac14cd38ed7c539ce3e29a6b92a8
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip

You could try starting over and using SuperSU. Tweaked moved to that and its worked fine ever since.

ahh, this is the first i'm hearing of SuperSu. I'll have to look into this more.

I agree that you should re-flash Tweaked 3.0 and then just use SuperSU and see what happens. I'm pretty sure you have multiple instances of an su binary on your phone giving both it and you heartburn.

Well,
I did just that and I no longer have any problems at all.
Thanks everybody

Good to hear and glad we could help.

Stay away from ES File Explorer. I use Root Explorer and it's awesome. It's a paid app though. There's another good one that's free but I don't remember the name.

Can someone tell me what to do in es file explorer to Bork my charge. I have not had any issues that I've noticed. I have used es file explorer on my tablets and all my phones including the whole time with my charge and no probs. I've changed the build.prop. so many times. I haven't tried any build.prop changes on Tweaked 3.0 though. I'm on the Steele Blue theme at the moment. Stock kernel. Holo Launcher.

Root explorer is definitely my favorite.

ES Explorer Can't Get Root

I have a G930F and installed TWRP + rooted with no issues. I can run rooted apps off of it as well like Titanium, Greenify, CF.Lumen, etc...
Although when I try the Root Explorer in ES File Manager, it keeps on telling me "Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your device". It doesn't look like it's even asking for root permissions. I tried different combinations of installing/uninstalling/rebooting and they don't seem to help. Any thoughts on what to do next?
Or if this is unfixable, any suggestions on what other file manager to use? Features I'm looking for include:
- Standard search/sort/filter/copy/cut/paste/delete
- Root Explorer
- FTP/SFTP support
- Configurable shortcuts/favorites
Thanks
Edit:
For anyone with the same issue, here's the answer:

I had the same problem I ended up just installing Root Explorer, too bad because I paid for ES File Explorer Pro too. If you figure it out let me knwo

I'd suggest solid explorer, very similar to es explorer but none of the app scanning and permissions crap that's recently been introduced in es.

Or just thinking out loud, would it be possible to add it to SuperSU's list without it requesting for access?

Your first problem is that you're using ES File Explorer.

I used to have an HTC M7 with the ARHD rom, and the rom came with it by default so I got used to it. I have to admit that there are some things I wish it would do that it doesn't. But I would say about 90% of what I need is available there.
But since I am starting fresh with a new phone, I'm open to suggestions if you have another root file explorer in mind. Pretty much the only thing outside of the standard functions that I need is sftp support, so I can copy/paste files to/from my mac.

Amaze or Solid Explorer is good. ES used to be good but it turned the way of Cheetah Mobile apps and started adding useless **** to their app.

If you google ES file explorer apk old version theres a website that has every ES file explorer apk from day 1. when the version changed to 4.X.X is when they added all the useless crap and adds.

lol yeah all of those sd card analysis and home page and stuff that I don't even use. I tried Solid Explorer, that thing looks nice. no extra fluff and just has what I'm looking for for a file manager
Do you guys know of any other file managers that allows for editing the DateModified? I know Total Commander has one, but I'm not digging their interface.

Nice! I was having the exact same prob on Solid Explorer

Q beta 3 and sandboxed file explorer apps: and now?

Is there something I can do to access my storage memory? I don't want an iPixel...

You need to allow permissions to storage for the app in Privacy settings
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

disable install unknown apps permission ?

Sorry, but this didn't work. Try googling new "scoped storage" permission...
Partial solution is to use Files by Google beta app (not the stock file app)...

I am seeing the same on Solid Explorer on Beta 3. I have revoked and approved Storage permission and it doesn't do anything. May an update Dev might have to make?

File Explorer by xiaomi works.

Solid Explorer works fine.
Sent from the Pixel 3

After I disabled the install apps permission Solid Explorer works fine again.

Update: Files by Google not working anymore

Update 2: Files by Google working again, Solid Explorer doesn't work anymore.

Unable to see contents of Android/data Folder

Hi,
I recently bought a OnePlus 8t indian unit and I am unable to see contents of Android/data as well as Android/obb using Xplore App or even extracting a zip fails using simpleunrar app.However when I try to use inbuilt File manager it seems to work fine.

I'm also facing the same issue. Does it have anything to do with Android 11?

That's what om thinking. Android 11 changes the way apps can access storage. It looks like apps need to be system in order to see those folders.

Scoped storage. Use shell to view it. Either in booted up android, or shell in recovery. Both need root.

I was able to view it using Total Commander app. Wouldn't work with Solid Explorer.
