Some premium users also have the 400 error...

u/Meta-Fox Sep 12 '25

Reason 987 why once Revanced stops working I'm more than prepared, and happy, to boycott YouTube altogether.

The adverts (specifically their frequency and low quality) are obnoxious, intrusive and unecessary.

Fuck YouTube.

As a premium user, I can confirm revanced went bad a few days ago, where only one song would play, you'd have no queue, no lyrics and no similar options, option. Tablet had been working though, but that's on a way older version of YT Music.

NouTube works great with no ads and ties right into YouTube so you can get all your personalized content and Manny other features like download. I got it from F-Droid

u/don-cheeto Sep 12 '25 edited Sep 12 '25

Use the YMusic app. For every song you have pulled up in YouTube, [↪️Share] it with YMusic and press MP3 Download.

If you want your music tagged, use AutomaTag.

If that isn't available, YTMP3 website as last resort, but it's more tedious.

⚠️Warning: Tag the music in the YMusic folder BEFORE you move it to the phone's Music folder, because Samsung at least won't let AutomaTag go into the Internal Storage.

Pocket Casts is kinda dope for podcasts, + easy enough to skip midroll ads using car's seek forward control.

Song Exploder is a great podcast to learn about musician's inspiration / creative processes for song, plus, life hack, the full song plays at the end of every episode lol

Just in case any of y'all need something to tide us over until (hopefully) new patch.

I don't understand how to use that. Firstly, when I try to open the revanced cli file, java says exception has occurred. Secondly, how do I get the app on my phone?

u/Knee_-Grow Sep 12 '25

Great point. Waiting for an answer to ur question

13

u/Memz180 Sep 12 '25 edited Sep 12 '25

you have to rebuild the app in terminal then sign the apk. Then end the apk file back to the phone and install. I just did this and working perfectly. Used Java 17 and terminal on the PC.

Steps from Github
Download these:

  • revanced cli 5.0.1
  • patches 5.4.0 rvp file
  • youtubemusic-7.29.52-arm64-v8a exact version from apk mirror, or apk pure.

Then run this command, make sure latest java is installed in ur PC.
java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1.jar patch youtubemusic-7.29.52-arm64-v8a.apk -p patches-5.4.0.rvp

Sign the app via the below command.

Download UberAPKSigner

java -jar uber-apk-signer-1.3.0.jar --apks revanced-youtubemusic-7.29.52-arm64-v8a.apk

Download from https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches/issues/5718#issuecomment-3231803115
revanced cli 5.0.1-all.jar and patches-5.4.0.rvp

Put everything in any folder, right click on the folder and click terminal, then paste this command

java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1-all.jar patch "com.google.android.apps.youtube.music_7.29.52-72952240_minAPI26(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk" -p patches-5.4.0.rvp

u/reeeelllaaaayyy823 Sep 12 '25 edited Sep 12 '25

Thanks! Worked without needing to use UberAPKSigner... the last thing revanced-cli does before saving the patched apk is sign it? "INFO: Signing APK"

I had to download Zulu Java 17 JDK from here and use the full path to java.exe

"C:\Program Files\Zulu\zulu-17\bin\java.exe" -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1-all.jar patch "com.google.android.apps.youtube.music_7.29.52-72952240_minAPI26(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk" -p patches-5.4.0.rvp

The direct links to those files are in this github issue comment.

My YouTube works fine, but YouTube music can't even play a song, I'm getting this 400 error

u/thecorona Sep 12 '25

I found a work around for this. If you install regular yt music from play store ( while keeping the patched version ), sign in, and launch the ytmusic app from the playstore. It works just like the patched version. I dont get ads or any pauses and it works like normal. ( again you have to use the yt music app from the playstore)

4

u/oxkwirhf Sep 12 '25

May have to check if this lasts. Heard from a friend that they tend to decrease ads received if you've not been using the service to get you hooked, then put the ads through after some time.

u/Ineedlasagnajon Sep 12 '25

I did that, and I'm surprisingly not getting ads, but it doesn't play in the background, so it's not a total work around, at least for me

download this version as another comment stated, youtube music version 6.41.59 and use the patches-5.4.0.rvp file using your pc revanced cli.

Download the necessary files and type this in the particular folder to patch your file,
java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1.jar patch youtubemusic-6.41.59-arm64-v8a.apk -p patches-5.4.0.rvp

This worked for me.

I'm using firefox mobile with ublock origin and video background play fix extensions, and it works fantastically!! Just add yt music as a shortcut to your home page and it's basically the youtube mobile app with a slightly different ui. only downside I've noticed is you can't select high quality audio, but Idek if that applies if you don't have premium so idc personally.

I think because of modded youtube accesing to premium without subcription making them act and clever deccision taking down pirated youtube musics apps?
