>managed to root device by going down to 10.5.a.0.230 rooting with ezroot then back up too 10.5.1.a.0.292 and was successfully rooted.
>then attempted app that claimed fix didnt work

>since the fix didnt work and i now longer could access my banking app i decided to unroot using SuperSU's interal feature
>then could only access google play store on 4g wifi came up with "check your connection and try again" which you can fix via having root access i believe and changing the hosts file
>at this point i was unrooted, banking app still wasnt letting me in though
>tried same process to reroot, but its not working, in ezroot is says success but flashtool tells me the device doesnt have root access and i cant seem to edit the hosts file so i guess its right

Flash C6603_10.5.1.A.0.292_Generic_NCB.ftf using Flashtool.
It should solve all of your problems.
As for rooting, I suggest that you follow the guides in this forum because they are already verified to work with Xperia Z.

you
Its easy dude...if u want ur banking app to work on rooted device...just use. ROOT CLOAK. APP...
Hope this helps.

I know it's been said 1000x and I've def been there before. But again, if you've never rooted a device, do yourself a favor and take some time to at least know what you are getting into. It's not for everyone. But just knowing the basic pros/cons, would of helped avoid or solved all of these issues, even prior to rooting. There is a ton of info that's super easy to find on xda that'll save yourself from a headache and hours wasted.

Android Pay Issue with Root

Hey Guys,
I have an original (2013) Moto X 1060 (Verizon) that I rooted using this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/moto-x-root-pogress-60-t3071602 It's been working great with no problems until today when my phone decided to update my google wallet app to the new android pay. Whenever I try to add a card to android pay I'm getting the error "Android Pay Cannot be used...... Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is android compatible."
Googling has led me t believe that this is an error related to the app detecting root. I tried both of these methods, but neither has worked. http://bit.ly/1LnwzAZ http://bit.ly/1LnwEog . I've tried each separately with rebooting in between as well as trying them together all to no avail.
Other than following the guide above the only root-related things I have modified on the phone are the removal of some verizon apps via titanium backup and adding the following xposed module: "NoSafeVolumeWarning".
One thing that I noted was when I uncheck "Enable Superuser" inside of SuperSu 2.46 it displays a message saying "Uninstall Failed !" It still displays the "Superuser is disabled and hidden" underneath the box and if i enable it again and disable it it does not pop up with the uninstall failed message. Does this have something to do with write protection?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Adam

Having the exact same issue. Just upgraded to 5.1 today, xposed Rootcloak as well as No Device Check installed. Also tried Disable SU. Still get the same issue.

Same. I tried uninstalling SU, Hide My Root, and Rootcloak...nothing has worked. Found out today that the app updated when I went to buy something at Walgreen's. How ****ing embarrassing is that?

So I have not yet found a solution to this and am still hoping someone has one. In the mean time, you can install this app http://www.apk4fun.com/share/7185/ (doesn't need to be from this site, it's just an old version of google wallet, and the one I used), go into settings>apps>google play services>manage data clear all data, and reboot. I just tried it at cub foods and it worked fine, but of course you do have to go into the app first, and I had to disconnect it from the app store with titanium backup so it wouldn't update to android pay again.

Was able to get Amex card working after uninstalling Xposed. However, I think I'm going to pass on Android Pay until they allow pin codes on the app, not the phone.

Same problem, few apps frozen with TiBu and xposed installed. Any other work around? s

check to see if your phone allows pin codes to be deactivated at times. I have mine set to not be used at home work and if I am carrying the phone. It is quite useful feature in settings Lockscreen but I am on COS 12.1 OnePlus basically CM

I haven't tried it yet, but I think they only way we'll get this working on root is to install it on stock unrooted, back it up with TiB or Helium, root and then reinstall/restore.

Lots of fail here as well. All the tricks you all listed + some others. It seems there is a lack of consistency for those that resolved. Some just say disabling root, uninstall busybox, uninstall xposed, rootcloak, device checker for play services, etc.
Nothing yet has worked for me. Luckily I backed up Wallet just before taking the update, so I may go back until the community has a solution.

I'm in the same boat. Couldn't get AP to work. Just loaded up the previous version of Wallet. Now have two wallet apps, but whatever. Both appear to be working.

Has anyone tried to get Android Pay working by re-locking the bootloader and temp unrooting on a Nexus device (say, a tablet), then getting AP up and running, and then checking to see if it was usable on your other device(s)??....I was curious if Android Pay would work on ALL of your devices once it was set up properly. Working with lock, unlocking, rooting, etc. is much easier on a Nexus than it would be to work on a Moto, or similar.
Does this make any sense?

Tried AP for the first time at Panera today and failed...seems even with Root Cloak on AP and Google Play Service as well as No Device Check, it still fails.

Any hopes to have a SuperSU outsmart Barclays Mobile ?

Same old problem: many useful apps need root, Barclays needs UNROOT ... and barclays becomes smarter and smarter every time, not allowing any room for tweaks.
Any hope to have SuperSU cloaked from Barclays Mobile, or somehow to allow apps that need unrooted phones to run in rooted environment?
Thanks.

For apps like that, just do a temporary unroot.

Thank you for the advice, but imagine you want to use banking app, you unroot, use the app ... then you must wait until you go back home (assuming you were somewhere away from your computer)... just to do again a tedious rooting operation that will be again canceled again in a matter of days... see my point? Is a lot of hassle.
Was hoping there are enough users of rooted phones who also want to benefit of mobile banking features (barclays and other similar apps that don't accept root)...

If it's Android pay , then full unroot and make your device stock again.
If it's not android pay(other banking app), then just full unroot.
It should work(if I'm right).

Thanks to you too @aufarxda ... but that wasn't the point. The question was about a way to circumvent rooting for some apps. To have the phone rooted for obvious advantages (kernel tuning, greenify, etc), but at the same time to be able to use the banking app (barclays). I tried cloaking, but seems to not work. I tried to disable SuperSU, nothing works. Only full unroot works. But guess what: after that my phone won't be rooted anymore. So, see the paradox here?

Help using baking app finding non-existing root

banking app, not baking app, f**ks sake
Hello there. I have been using stock android 7.1.1 for a while and decided to try using roms again (Pure Nexus). One of the apps that i need is "Vipps" its a Norwegian banking app used to transfer money to friends and stuff, but its notorious for finding root. I used to use xposed and root cloak on android 6, but i know well it dosent work with 7. Magisk dosent hide it, suhide dosent hide it.
After installing Vipps it rejects opening promting me with "Vipps does not support rooted devices". Only thing is its running a ROM that comes with no root.
- Cheers, Kristiansja
edit: root checker doesn't find annything either

Go into the root settings and remove root. Mind you this cause some of the features of the rom to stop working. Apps like that are not only looking for root but also for unlocked bootloaders. So if those apps are important to you then might want to stick to a fully stock set up and relock your bootloader.

Pure Nexus comes without root

Go into developer option and turn off USB debugging. After that, reboot the phone and see if Vipps is working. If that doesn't work, I have one more suggestion.

It's probably checking ro.build.tags and/or ro.build.type. These are set to test-keys and userdebug on PN (if I remember correctly) and some apps need them to be set to release-keys and user. It could also be looking for other prop values and possibly also busybox (also included in PN, I believe).

Or BusyBox...

Can hide root from banking app after latest update

Hi,
As written in the title, after the new update (18.1) magisk no longer hides the fact that my phone is rooted from my banking app.
Ive done everything I could think of in order to fix it but it still doesnt works...
Does anybody else is having the same issue, know how to fix it or know an another app that can hide root from apps?
Thank you in advance

try zygisk in settings

I used the app Island (from Oasis Feng) and cloned the banking app. It no longer detected Magisk.
