How Do You Fix Broken Security Patch Settings in Tricky Store? (Two Methods That Actually Work)

Why Can't I Set Security Patch Dates in KsuWebUI? (Solved With These Simple Tricks)

I've been helping Android users for years, and I know how frustrating it can be when you can't set your security patch date through KsuWebUI. This problem has been driving people crazy since Android 13+ introduced stricter checks in May 2021.

Let me walk you through exactly what's happening and how to fix it. The Tricky Store addon should let you set security patch dates easily, but sometimes it just doesn't work. I've seen this issue countless times, and I have two reliable solutions that work.

Why This Problem Happens

Android 13 and newer versions check security patches much more carefully than before. Your device needs the right security patch dates for three parts: system, boot, and vendor. When KsuWebUI can't set these dates automatically, you need to do it manually.

The system part always uses "prop" as its value. But boot and vendor need actual dates in a specific format. If these aren't set correctly, you'll fail integrity checks and some apps won't work properly.

Solution 1: Manual Entry in KsuWebUI

This is the easier way to fix the problem. Here's what you need to do:

1. Open KsuWebUI on your device
2. Find and select Tricky Store from the list
3. Tap the hamburger menu (those three lines in the corner)
4. Choose "Set Security Patch" from the menu
5. Check the box next to "Advanced" - this is important
6. Type in your dates manually under Boot and Vendor
7. Hit Save when you're done

The date format must be YYYY-MM-DD. For example, if you're doing this in June 2025, you'd type "2025-06-05". Make sure you use the right month and year for when you're actually doing this.

Solution 2: Create the File Yourself

Sometimes the first method still doesn't work. When that happens, I tell people to create the security patch file manually. It sounds harder, but it's actually pretty simple.

What you'll need: Solid File Manager app (download it from the Play Store)

1. Install and open Solid File Manager
2. Navigate to data/adb/tricky_store folder
3. Tap the plus icon to add a new file
4. Name the file "security_patch.txt" exactly like that
5. Open the file you just created
6. Type these three lines exactly:

   system=prop
   boot=2025-06-05
   vendor=2025-06-05

7. Save the file and restart your phone

Remember to change the dates to match the current month and year. The system line always stays "system=prop" - don't change that part.

Important Things to Remember

The dates I'm showing you are examples from June 2025. You need to use the current month when you're actually doing this. If you're not sure what date to use, check what security patch your device currently has in Settings.

Some people try to use future dates thinking it will help, but that can actually cause more problems. Stick to realistic dates that match your device's actual security patch level.

What Happens After You Fix It

Once you've set the security patch dates correctly, your device should pass integrity checks much better. Apps that were refusing to work because of failed SafetyNet or Play Integrity checks should start working again.

You might need to clear the cache for some apps or restart them completely. Banking apps and payment apps are especially picky about this stuff, so give them a few minutes to recognize the changes.

Troubleshooting Tips

If neither method works for you, try these extra steps:

• Make sure you have the latest version of KsuWebUI installed
• Check that Tricky Store is actually running and enabled
• Restart your device after making changes
• Clear the cache for apps that were having problems

I've used both methods myself, and they work reliably. The manual file creation method is especially good because it gives you complete control over the values. The key is being patient and following the steps exactly. Don't skip the restart step - it's crucial for the changes to take effect properly.
