Sadly, if i flash my phone, i can’t use certain critical services, such as banking. Since my bank has only two locations–total–and is only open when i’m at work, that’s a problem.
You can’t do things like deposit checks with their web version. You also can’t do any kind of deposit at their ATMs (…of which there are two, total). So I’m stuck using their app -or- taking time off work if I need to make a deposit.
I need four phones at this point. One personal phone, one that i can use for shit like e-coupons and signing up for Ali Baba, one stock phone for secure banking, and a burner dumb phone that I can keep powered off and in a Ramsey Test RF-proof container until I really, really need it.
Bank app is one thing holding me off from de-Googling. Can you use their browser site instead? In my case it’s got pretty much everything I could do on the app, just a little slower.
AFAIK, you still run into the same problems with depositing a physical check though; I’ve never seen a website for a bank that allowed you to deposit a check using a photo of the check (although I did have a huge problem with Circle failing to allow me to create an account; turn out that it couldn’t even progress without a web camera installed, but also didn’t say that’s why it was failing).

Does your bank have a web version? If not, it’s better to have a second phone with the official ROM.

Dude… why are you still with that bank?!

Browser won’t allow deposits; that’s app-only.
Get a different bank? One with no locations preferably.
