To solve the banking apps problem with root:

1. Root your phone 2. Install Adaway and update hosts 3. Unroot your phone.

It just takes a system restart to unroot. Then all banking apps work fine. If I need root again, I can just flash Magisc zip file again. Easy enough.

But nowadays just setting up adguard's DNS in Android's private DNS settings is enough to get Adaway like effect without root.

If you're just doing a single file, I've always thought it would be better to just use adb.
