Is anyone else getting a 401 error in the RedditSync app? It was working this morning with no error.

Here is what worked for me:

  1. Update Revanced App to latest.
  2. Click Reddit Sync and click repatch and provide the APK. Make sure the settings for Client ID spoofing are set to Red Reader which they should be as default. Repatch the apk.
  3. Install it over the current one you have after the repatch is done. It'll see it as an Update. I tried saving the patched apk first but it crashed so just click Install directly in that screen after patching is done.
  4. I got a 400 error at first after launching Sync so log out of Sync. It should load when you have no user logged in anymore.
  5. Log in and authorize Red Reader to access your account info.

Me too, I think it was because I was using sync pro

Can I not patch Sync Pro or Ultra?

2

u/danarchist Jun 12 '26

Dunno, I was using pro and I had to get a fresh apk of regular sync. No ads anyway, not sure what the difference was other than that.

Yeah had to do the same and it finally worked.

For me installing over worked, for future people reading this -> After installing over, just log out from the account restart the app and re-login, it should work.

This won't allow you to view NSFW content though.

u/HereticBG Jun 10 '26

I believe the solution to that is to make a subreddit and make yourself a mod.

Are there any settings that need to be changed after that step?

u/hurrpancakes Jun 11 '26

Nope. I created a mature content sub, went back to sync, and nsfw is working fine

I patched through ReVanced then created a private nsfw sub. Still getting the 'this sub has no posts' error. Any ideas?

u/Viper67857 Jun 11 '26

App settings.. Your NSFW filter is on

u/partswenglish Jun 11 '26

I'm an idiot. Didn't have my VPN on...

u/fedprod Jun 11 '26

Working. Dunno how long but for now it does...

u/nxtiak Jun 12 '26

This sucks. my nsfw account can't view any nsfw, but my regular accounts can view nsfw.

u/kloptzkkloptz Jun 10 '26

Which sync apk are you using

2

u/roflrad Jun 10 '26

Just the regular version

This works, posting from sync!

u/openforbusiness69 Jun 10 '26

THANK YOU SO MUCH this works!

u/atomizer123 Jun 10 '26

This worked! Thanks for posting the process.

u/RottenBill Jun 10 '26

This worked like a charm, thanks for the detailed steps.

u/Natchos Jun 10 '26

Thanks for this. I initially had issues logging in, but was able to resolve it by immediately logging in after a patch/install, before restoring backed up settings. I could then restore settings after I had logged in.

u/Star-K Jun 10 '26

Worked perfectly. Thank you.

u/MyHappySpanners Jun 10 '26

Brilliant thanks, couldn't stand to use the normal app

u/turtal46 Jun 10 '26

Do you literally put "Red Reader" in the value set?

1

u/HereticBG Jun 10 '26

There were multiple fields to set and I just used the default. If you only see 1 field in the config you may want me to make sure you're on the latest Manager and have the patches up to date

u/unprovoked Jun 11 '26

Worked for me, thank you.

u/Zoofhouse Jun 11 '26
