Lucky Patcher - Important information

What is Lucky Patcher capable of?​

Lucky Patcher has the following capabilities:

  • Create backups of system and user applications.
  • Emulate client-sided In-App Purchases.
    • Unfortunately, server-sided In-App Purchases can not be emulated.
  • Remove unnecessary/unwanted system applications.
  • Convert user applications to system applications and vice versa.
  • Install and uninstall modded/stock Google PlayStore.
    • Modded PlayStore allows you to automate application patching and bypass license/signature verification.
  • Apply customized patches made by other users on applications that have one.

What should I know before and after using Lucky Patcher?​

  • Signature verification bypass may not work on every application that includes it.
  • Blocking advertisements is not possible on some applications.
  • Emulating In-App Purchases on some applications, offline or online, may not be possible due to server-sided payment verification.
  • Some custom patches are outdated and will only work up to a specific version of the application.
  • Lucky Patcher is not universal.
    • This means that not all devices are capable of patching the same application(s); rooted or non-rooted.

Issues that you may encounter during IAP emulation:​

  • Infinite 'loading' loop.
    • This can range from being stuck in payment verification (server-sided) or your phone can't patch said application.
  • Message like "Invalid Purchase" or equivalent.
    • This happens when the emulation was (and is) unable to pass the server-sided verification.
  • Application restarts and reverts any changes made.
    • This is a result of an anti-cheat implemented to the application by the developers.

About root​

  • LP usually works fine without root.
  • You can set up AVD on your PC if you'd like to have a rooted device on your PC.
  • If you decide to root your device, be aware that you might be unable to use some apps on the device.
  • There is no "catch-all" root guide. A good starting point is XDA Forums and Telegram groups that specialize in rooting specific phone models.
  • With root you'll be able to patch the Android system and Google Play, which means that you usually won't have to patch individual apps.
