## Introduction 
- This project was made to remove or limit annoying features & root detection & accessibility detection that implemented by the development team of "MB Bank" Android app with additional feature such as custom themes. It's not PoC project.
- [MBCP (MBBank CorePatch)](https://t.me/mbbpatch) are closed source before, and many people don't like it cuz worry about security & privacy issues. 
- In order to support community and make MBCP open source, We spend days to rewritten whole `MBCPApp` patches in Bash and open it so you can patch it yourself on (Bare metal, not WSL) Linux environment (where we used to patch `MBCP`)

## Requirements
- Actual Linux environment (not on virtualized environment like WSL) and any compatible distro (Arch Linux based recommended)
- Little knowledge about `bash` commands 
- `git` installed
- `java` or `jdk-openjdk` installed


## Usage
- Go to home directory, then clone repository first
```
cd ~
git clone https://gitlab.com/cuynu/mbbpatch.git
cd ~/mbbpatch/MBCPApp
```

- Since MB Bank are now using split APK (*.apks) since `v5.3 (135)` so you have to convert it to regular APK first
- Grab MB Bank apks from [eMBee APKs](https://t.me/embeeapks) and copy it to `~/mbbpatch/MBCPApp/mbapk`

- Run bash `mbcpapp.sh` script
```
cd ~/mbbpatch/MBCPApp
./mbcpapp.sh
```
- Download necessary tools first with `Download tools` function (otherwise other function are unlikely to work!)
- Convert apks to apk first using `Convert apks to apk` function
- Unpack apk with `Unpack apk` function
- Check if MBShield present on unpacked APK with `Check MBShield` function 
(if MBShield present then you may need to extract assets from Android device with `Extract assets [ROOT]`)
- After extracted assets (if MBShield present), use `Patch App` function and select the patches you want to apply to unpacked app
- When done, use `Repack APK` function to recompile patched app
- Patched app will be `MBCP_Flutter_SelfPatched.apk` on `~/mbbpatch/MBCPApp/mbcpapp_apk/`
- Install it to your device (requires [MBCP Helper](https://gitlab.com/cuynu/mbcp-helper/-/releases) / [CorePatch](https://github.com/lsposed/corepatch/releases) ) with enabled "Disable digest verify" option.
- Profit :)
