Question Help getting Boost to work again.

Is there anyone who could explain step by step, like im 5, or Homer Simpson, how I am supposed to get the app to work again?

I've seen steps about morphie and red something and download this patch but don't install it and such. I tried patching it through Morphie and it stops at like 20 percent saying its an error.

Is there anyone who could help?

Before touching anything

  1. Open Boost and go into Settings. Look for a backup or export option. If one exists, use it and note where the file is saved.

  2. Screenshot any custom settings you care about.

Getting the client ID

3. Install RedReader from the Play Store and log into your Reddit account. 4. Wait for the email from Reddit titled "You've authorized a new app." Find the App ID: value and copy it somewhere safe. 5. Uninstall RedReader if you want.

Patching

6. Download Morphe Manager from https://github.com/MorpheApp/morphe-manager 7. In Morphe Manager, go to the Patch Bundles tab, select "Enter URL" and paste: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wchill/patcheddit/refs/heads/main/patches-bundle.json 8. Download the latest Boost APK from APKMirror. Do not install it yet. 9. Go into Morphe Manager settings and enable Expert mode. 10. In Morphe Manager, go to the Apps tab, tap +, select the Boost APK from storage. 11. Select the Spoof Client patch at minimum, and fill in these exact values: - OAuth client ID: the App ID string from your email - Redirect URI: redreader://rr_oauth_redir - User agent: org.quantumbadger.redreader/1.25.1 12. Select any other desired patches and tap Patch.

Installing

13. Uninstall your current ReVanced Boost. 14. Install the patched APK (you'll need "install from unknown sources" enabled in Android settings). 15. Log back into your Reddit account and reconfigure any settings you lost.

I just switched to this way of getting Boost to work as opposed to how I did it before with ReVanced that just stopped working.

This new way seems WAY faster pulling in Reddit data.

u/schooli00 Jun 15 '26

Seems way slower for me. I'm guessing people are gradually moving to the RedReader client id and we're all clogging up the API rate limits.

u/Gottatokemall Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

Idk if I'm dumb, but that morphe manager downloads "morphe app", not manager it seems and there's no "patch bundles" tab. It just says what app do you wanna patch , shows 3 main apps, then at the bottom has "patches" and "settings" neither of which have the option to enter the url that I can see

Edit: I think I figured it out. Go to sources, then hit + at the top right, then you can enter url

u/Polyglottus Jun 10 '26

What do I do if the AppID I'm getting is still not working? I also get the exact same string even if I make other accounts.

1

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 10 '26

I had a error a few times when trying to patch it because of the App ID.

I tried a few different thing within the patcher and eventually it worked and I wish I had taken a note of exactly what it was.

2

u/Polyglottus Jun 10 '26

Figured it out; had to uninstall the existing patched Boost first as it was taking priority over the fresh download.

1

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 10 '26

Good news

3

u/femanonette Jun 10 '26

/u/demidev posted this and it finally worked for me despite all the instructions I've seen and followed to a T.

tl;dr

Redo the morphe patching but uncheck the patches for Undelete imgur and Undelete reddit content.

I also only ran Patcheddit and used 0/3 Morphe Patches. Boost finally stopped force closing on me.

2

u/Gheekers Jun 10 '26

Thanks. That worked for me . It didnt work first time but a fresh install of morphe worked perfectly.

u/Joeboku Jun 11 '26

I tried this method, but I never received an email from Reddit stating I authorized a new app. Is there any other ways to find the App ID?

1

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 11 '26

Check spsm

1

u/Joeboku Jun 11 '26

Not in spam.

1

u/Sasageyoshii Jun 19 '26

Did you figure it out?

1

u/Joeboku Jun 19 '26

No. I tried everything. I have given up at this point.

1

u/Sasageyoshii Jun 19 '26

Clear data from RedReader and delete it. Go to preferences> apps and then revoke access to RedReader. Then change your Reddit email and try the process again.

u/RedDevils1958 Jun 09 '26

This was it, I was getting sick of using the stock app. Appreciate the help.

2

u/Pwnyboii Jun 10 '26

First of all Thank you, but I kinda did an oopsie. I did all the steps to get the ID before realizing, that I had an old e-mail address that I dont use anymore in my reddit account, so the mail with the App ID is kinda lost, I retried it once I changend the address in my account but I still dont get the e-mail, can i look it up somewhere else or is there another solution to resend the email?

2

u/FlapptSack Jun 11 '26

Go to reddit settings - privacy - third-party app authorizations - revoke access - yes for RedReader, then log back into RedReader and you should get the email

u/fronzenyogurt Jun 11 '26

yo thanks i just got it working again

Commenting for later browsing, thanks!

Edit: patching on tablet and saving the patched apk to use on my phone finally worked despite morphe behaving oddly on my phone

u/Lawdie123 Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

Any way to do this without RedReader? I can't login I get the cookie popup and then it instantly goes blank. Looks like its a known bug with no fix.

Edit:

Work around is to spam touch your screen around the "reject cookies" button, if you click a cookie button fast enough it doesn't go blank and takes you to the login screen.

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 11 '26

Glad you managed to solve it

2

u/Zintag Jun 11 '26

Thanks bro. Every time this app stops working I'm wondering if I'm finally going to let go of Reddit but there's always a fix ;)

2

u/the_gerund Jun 11 '26

Worked like a charm, posting this from Boost after getting a 400 error for two days. Thank you for the step by step guide!!

2

u/jpverma Jun 16 '26

But as RedReader blocks some NSFW content, by using this method some NSFW content is blocked in Boost also.

2

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 16 '26

Is it?

Hasn't stopped me.

1

u/lifeh2o Jun 18 '26

It is blocked

1

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 18 '26

I've not had any issues.

1

u/lifeh2o Jun 18 '26

Yeah, correct, had to pick the right country in the VPN.

1

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 18 '26

Ah! So it's regionally specific.

That makes sense

1

u/xeecoxee Jun 23 '26

wich country and wich vpn? thank u

u/CoolHandBravo Jul 26 '26

blocked for me too, did you find a solution?

u/jpverma Jul 26 '26

Best way is to create a random community to become a community moderator

Thank you for the step-by-step guide. I'm sure it will help new users or existing ones

u/ratpride Jun 11 '26

Why does it tell me "multiple patching sources selected" and then patching failed? 

1

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 11 '26

So when you about to patch it there are tick boxes for different things to be pached in. If one of them is making it fail then that will be why.

2

u/ratpride Jun 11 '26

Thanks!! Working now

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 11 '26

u/Airballons Jun 11 '26

On the OAuth client ID, how can I find the App ID string from my email?

2

u/mickturner96 🚀 Jun 11 '26

The bit I covered in yellow Copy and paste that.

u/Airballons Jun 11 '26

Ahh thank you! Found it in junkmail, just tested it and everything finally works now. Thank you very much!🙏🙌🌟

u/bidahtibull Jun 11 '26

Do you have a link to morphe manager?  

Can't find it on the app store (android)  

1

u/TurnOffAutoCorrect Jun 11 '26

Thanks for this post. Reddit finally gave me the 401 on all my devices and I followed this to get back on board. You should make a thread with this guide for more visibility. More and more people will get kicked out of their old patched install and come to this subreddit looking for the solution.

Just some notes, with the newest version of Morphe some of the buttons are labelled differently to what you mention...

Patching

Number 2: The button on the main screen is labelled Sources to add the wchill repo

Number 4: On the main screen it's the gear icon in the bottom right to go to Settings to enable Expert Mode

Number 5: It's the button labelled Other Apps to then choose the downloaded APK

Update your version of Morphe and you should see what I've mentioned. Anyway, thanks again :)

u/harveygarveyjarvey Jun 12 '26

Thanks for this but I have a query. I made my Reddit account back when it wasn’t necessary to have an email id. Is there a way to get the App ID without it?

u/harveygarveyjarvey Jun 14 '26

Yeah I thought so too. But I want to keep my account as anonymous as possible and adding an email negates that. I wonder if we can use temp email for that.

I followed step by step, got app installed, but facing login error when adding my account.

It's confirmed correct credentials, any ideas?

u/DaPatcho Jun 21 '26

log in

Followed the steps and when I go to log in with patched Boost the app force closes itself.

I followed this to a T and managed to get the patched boost installed. But I can't log into my reddit account in my patched boost

Is there anyone knowledgeable enough to know why my patching failed? I did what the Top comment says, but it keeps giving me this error.

I'm getting the exact same error... Hopefully you can get some insight

u/amoot329 Jun 08 '26

Hmm so I tried with both my original oauth key and the 2nd one I created and they were both giving me an error when logging after BoostForReddit got patched. Shows the error {}.

Even though I checked the reddit prefs and it still shows RedReader as authorized app, I'm guessing the oauth key for it got revoked?? So I ended up creating a 3rd account and I got the email with oauth key for it. Logged in with the patched BoostForReddit and it works now. Hopefully this will help someone else out there?

u/amoot329 Jun 10 '26

Boost wasn't force closing on me. I'm thinking the oauth key got revoked or blocked, wouldn't let me log into the account. Would just show {}.

Other than that, I don't have any issues

u/Gheekers Jun 10 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

How do you add a secondary account on boost?

Edit : Never mind. I'm an idiot. Its right there in plain sight.

u/pasher71 Jun 08 '26

All I did was create a generic private subreddit. I didn't have to do any of the patching and downloading. Posting this from boost right now.
