[Q] [Rogers] CIBC Mobile Payment App

Hey all, I have a Rogers NFC Sim for my S3 running the latest CM 10.1 nightly. I was looking to use the CIBC Mobile Payment App available in the Play Store here. Of course it won't appear in the Store on my device because the device identifies itself differently than a stock Rogers S3, so I grabbed the APK from here, however the app simply won't install when I open it from my file explorer.
How can I forcibly install this app? My hardware is compatible with this app so this should just be a question of using some magic to trick the APK into installing.

There's no way it HAS to be unless there is some specific dependency on TouchWiz. Whether or not it's easy or recommended is difference.

It's a good thing I'm not asking CIBC for support then.

I'm trying yet again to get mobile payment working on my phone as well.
I'm simply astonished that nobody has ever found an actual way to hide rooting on a phone. I'm not a developer, but really, how hard could it possibly be? if we have root we should be able to do ANYTHING to trick an app that doesn't have root in to not knowing root is there. why hasn't anyone come up with a sandbox for these stupid apps yet???
(and don't show me links to any of the dozens of "root hiding" apps, I've never found a single app that checks for root that is fooled by any of these.)

anyone figured out a workaround yet?

Stopped being an issue ages ago for me (this thread is 3 years old). The CIBC app now works happily on many more devices, including rooted ones.

Maybe try in a thread for that device. This is the SIII thread.

NFL mobile on rooted devices

I figured I would start a thread on this. NFL mobile is no longer working on rooted devices. Disabling root and hide my root are not working for me to get it working (stocked rooted md4 and moar).
Reverting does work still so here is the previous version:

Any other ideas?

What app are you guys using? And how does it work?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Are you guys on the latest update? I'm working on a screen shot now. App comments are blown up with it.

I've uninstalled, reinstalled, if I revert it works for now but once it updates, I get this. This is on moar5.1 stock opt kernel. Also on stock md4 rooted.

Does your device show NORMAL under STATUS>DEVICE STATUS? I have TPR modded to set status back to NORMAL. NFL app just updated and still works fine.

Updated app doesn't work for me either. Not that it matters espn.com shows all the same info. Now of it was the streaming verison like Verizon, I'd be singing a different tune.
Running most up to date MOAR and device shows normal in the menu.

I'm going to flash tpr in a few to see what happens for me. Strange that some are affected and not others.

Yes that is really weird. I saw the notice that the app updated and figured it would be dead, but it came right up with no issue.

Can someone post the updated app? Please. I want to see of it works for me. And how do you get it to work if its for Verizon only?
EDIT: So I thought this was NFL Mobile that is exclusive to Verizon. Not the Game center thing.

Ya this is just the regular NFL app from the market. Not exclusive or anything.

Ok I guess you have to use older version bc I just updated my app and this is what I got

Ha so sure enough, I flashed TPR this morning and downloaded the NFL app and it came right up for me. Very strange!!
however looking at the app, it says NFL Mobile from Verizon? Not sure if they all do but it's the same app in the market. I don't have a non-rooted phone to compare it with lol.

It's there a flash able zip that changes status on phone from modified to normal ?

The modified status doesn't seem to be the issue as my moar ROM is set as normal. I'm assuming something else deeper in the ROM.

Apparently not so inexplicably...lol. Now if someone can find out what the app is looking for (logcat?) and why TPR is working someone can make a bypass of the root check. I am pretty sure MOAR uses Supersu like TPR and not Superuser, so it is not that.

I wonder what happens if you disable supersu in the app? Then run the program.

[Q] sms without root

Hi guys, I bought my nexus 7 2013 lte thinking it could send sms. It seems it can but only if I root and install xposed etc etc.
My dilemma is that I have a nowtv subscription which will not run on rooted devices. I there any way to enable sms without rooting?
Ive tried masking root by all the usual methods but nowtv always knows. This is so frustrating for me as im not to tec savvy.
I have however flashed an older rom 4.3.1 and it works. is that my only option?

I was going to tell you google voice then realized you're on the wrong side of the pond. Been using it for years. Sorry, haven't paid attention to the other options.

RootCloak is a xposed module that hides root from certain apps. I'm not sure what you want in the means of SMS, but I use Google voice, with the voice+ module and nexus 7 SMS enabler modules, then I can choose what default SMS app I want (Hangouts, 8sms). Or you can just use a different SMS app like TextPlus without without rooting.

xposed requires root doesn't it?
root cloak doesn't work. nowtv still says device modified and won't run.

Yes Xposed requires root.
Did a little searching and there's a RootCloak Plus which will do the job. Look under the Apps with calls... Header in this link.

Thanx for your time but this didn't work. I guess it's one of those apps that the root cloak plus won't work on.
I see the op is still working on another bskyb app.
Back to looking for a way to enable outbound text... (unrooted)
Thanx again..

Just a thought, is it possible to make an unrooted rom with mms built in that can be flashed via adb or any other method?

You may find this info useful!
Xposed Framework FAQDoes this require root access?
Yes, because it replaces a file in /system/bin. Once the framework is installed, it should work without root access.
and the link where I found the info.

Thanks for info but I have tried this method. I have unrooted as far as possible without flashing stock but it seems something is left behind that the skygo/nowtv apps see's and says os is modified and will not run.

Skygo rooted

Hello would like to root but on past phone rooted stopped this from working. They was some people who temp removed root to get it working anyone here tested?

Not tested, but I know there is a module for xposed framework (i think it is called something like "cloak hider" or similar) it hides root for some apps. Maybe you want to take a look at this?!

Root your device and use Xposed module RootCloak.

why do you need an app for banking ? that's a big security hole in your phone.

Have you confirmed that the app is broken by root? The RBS Android app stopped working when I installed it on my G3 (it worked on my rooted HTC One X+). RBS confirmed that the app is broken on some devices, rooted or not.

I can confirm

It may not be possible. Root cloak methods dont seem to work for this or SkyGo, even unrooting doesn't work for some apps, you need to reflash to stock completely.

Unrooting and deleting SuperSu works on Samsungs
Has anybody checked on lg g3?

root your phone install whatever you want tweaks etc then unroot it and install the barclays app...

It's not so simple. Adblock will be working but Xposed not. Not sure about Barclays app, I can't test it because if it won't work you need to reinstall your rom... Time consuming
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Ok I did it. I rooted the phone, installed adblock, froze some apps in Titanium etc, Barclays of course didn't work.
Then fully unroot from SuperSu, restart and Barclays works!
Thank god.

This is the best answer I have seen. Barclays, in general, has a stick up their collective asses regarding hacked phones. Switch to a bank that doesn't care what you do with your phone.
