I can't root my phone because I don't have an image for it (Moto G73) although I'd like to, but for some reason my banking app thinks it's rooted and refuses to work. This happened just after I updated it, it wasn't happening before.

Edit: I'm regretting not getting the Motorola Edge 40 Neo, which also costs £250, but is slightly better in multiple ways, and seems like it has better root support.

Adjacent topic... Do you use a credit union? Because fuuuuuuck banks.

My bank just merged with another and released a new app. Immediately when trying to log in it said that the app can't be used with developer mode enabled.

With developer mode enabled? I have that enabled, although my error message is about root. With a degoogled stock ROM, you have to have adb to backup system data, it's crazy your bank was blocking that.

Credit unions are better but that doesnt mean their app will work on a rooted device

Nationwide is a building society, which I think is kind of similar.

For the unaware, here's a concise explanation of the difference from chatgpt:

Banks and credit unions both offer financial services, but there are key differences. Banks are for-profit institutions, owned by shareholders, while credit unions are nonprofit, owned by their members. Credit unions often offer higher interest rates on savings and lower loan rates, but banks typically have a broader range of services and more extensive ATM networks. Your choice may depend on priorities like fees, customer service, and community focus.
