• Licensed as MIT License : View license.

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) 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 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 / CorePatch ) with enabled "Disable digest verify" option.
• Profit :)
