• MBCP are closed source before, and many people don't like it cuz worry about security & privacy issues.
• In order to support community, we spend days to rewritten MBCP patches once again in Bash and open sourced it so you can patch yourself from original app on (Bare metal, not WSL) Linux environment
• Note : MBCP are "MBBank CorePatch" but shorter and MBCP or MBCPApp are the same thing as MBCP.

Important

As of MB v6.4.68+, MB's dev team are finally fight against this project by compressing libapp.so and even improved their tampered library & dex check from both server & app-side !

This means most important patches that is patching libapp.so are now useless and can't be used :(

Current situation : libapp.so can be decompressed with a specific hook method described by other dev, but the decompressed libapp.so doesn't work if you trying to put it to app.

Use MB v6.4.66 or lower for patching instead !

Proprietary code

• This project probably won't meet FOSS requirements due to contains proprietary code extracted from MB app that has been modified to bypass something else. That applies for following folder :
• 1. blob_patches/bypass_apptampering
• 2. blob_patches/noadjust_volume_sekyc
• 3. blob_patches/skip_maintainscreen
• 4. blob_patches/bypass_accessibility_applist
• 5. blob_patches/bypass_rootold
• 6. blob_patches/fix_df16211
• Under mbsig directory, its contain MB original dumped signature, which is necessary to make app works after patching process.
• Everything including that listed above code are all licensed under MIT license, it's can be considered as reverse engineered code :>

Usage

• Go to home directory, then clone repository first

cd ~
git clone https://git.disroot.org/mbcp/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 or Lotus Chat if you don't have access to Telegram 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 functions are unlikely to work!)
• Convert apks to apk first using Convert apks to apk function
• Unpack apk with Unpack apk function
• Use Patch App function and select the patches you want to apply to unpacked app except [Bypss GW934 checksum] patch
• When done, apply the [Bypass GW934 checksum] patch, then 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 / CorePatch ) with enabled "Disable digest verify" option.
• Profit :)

TODO

• Bypass the new dex & libraries checksum for MB v6.4.67+

• Adapt new v6.4.67 zimperium structure

• Adapt new v6.4.68 trungthu theme
