When clicking through the initial setup of Android, you may want to use a different Google account and / or disable the backup and restore checkbox. Although it mentions pre-rooted I found there is no root access applied – however this is a good thing for us to be able to log into Snapchat. Install the executable and start Bluestacks up. Download Bluestacks from here and get the newest, pre-rooted version. We will use this application to obtain a non-root environment in Windows to successfully login to Snapchat.

In a nutshell Bluestacks is an Android emulator. In this tutorial I will describe how to restore your login on a rooted device by using a backup done in Bluestacks. A rather interesting thing is, that Snapchat allows you to create a new account to login on a rooted device – but when logging out you will not be able to login back again. Moreover people claimed joining the Snapchat Beta will eliminate this problem – it does not. Snapchat seems to use the SafetyNet Api by Google to verify system integrity now. Most replies recommending to remove Xposed are quite old, too. So I suppose the culprit isn’t Xposed, it’s rather root. My test device is a rooted LG G4 with the bootloader unlocked – there was never Xposed framework installed, but I still get the error “Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again” (or something like this). A lot of the time people online claim the Xposed framework is the culprit – after deinstalling this framework there’s a good chance to log in again. There is quite some confusion about the Snapchat app and it’s login on a rooted Android device. Issue: How can I restore my login to the Snapchat app on a rooted Android device using the Bluestacks application?
