Overview
SRPatch is an on-device Android tool that removes APK signature verification and re-signs modified apps, so repackaged APKs can be installed. It is used by developers, security researchers, and modders who need to repackage or re-sign APKs without a computer. Search demand for “SR Patch APK download” is steady — this exact tool is what that traffic is looking for.
There are two builds that matter. The original SRPatch v2.0.0 was developed by LingXing (灵星): one-click signature removal, batch APK processing, selectable protection-strength levels, and no root required for basic operations. Its official site (srpatch.cc) is now offline, so v2.0.0 survives only on third-party mirrors — this page lists it under “Other builds” with its provenance clearly marked as unverified.
The maintained and verifiable build is SRPatch-X, an open-source fork by KhunHtetzNaing built around the extracted libSRPatch.so. It adds APK signing with a custom keystore, a Material Design 3 interface, and three hook methods (PMS, IO, SVC). It requires Android 8.0 or higher on arm64 devices. Because its source and releases are public on GitHub, its binary can actually be verified — which is why this page makes SRPatch-X v1.2 the primary download.
SR Patch is not on the Google Play Store: stripping signature verification and re-signing other developers’ apps falls under Play bans on circumvention. It is sideload-only.
Because the original tool’s official channel is dead, this is exactly the kind of download where verification matters most: confirm the SHA-256 hash of whatever you download, scan it on VirusTotal yourself, and treat any mirror copy of the original v2.0.0 as untrusted until you have checked it.

Frequently asked questions
Which SR Patch should I download?
SRPatch-X, the maintained open-source fork — its releases are public on GitHub, so the binary on this page is verifiable. The original SRPatch v2.0.0 by LingXing is listed under 'Other builds' for reference, but its official site is offline and it only exists on mirrors now, so its provenance cannot be verified.
Is SR Patch safe?
The SRPatch-X build linked here comes from the developer's public GitHub releases — verify its SHA-256 hash against the one on this page and scan it on VirusTotal before installing. The original v2.0.0 is higher-risk because it is only available from mirrors; scan any mirror copy yourself and never trust a mirror's own 'clean scan' claim.
Why isn't SR Patch on the Play Store?
It strips APK signature verification and re-signs modified versions of other developers' apps. That is signature circumvention, which Play Store policies ban. It is sideload-only.
Does SR Patch need root?
The original SRPatch v2.0.0 needs no root for basic signature removal. For SRPatch-X, check the hook method you plan to use in the GitHub README — some hook methods require root.
How do I verify the APK hash?
After downloading, compute the SHA-256 of the file and compare it character-for-character with the hash on this page. If a single character differs, do not install the file.
Is SR Patch the same as APatch?
No. APatch is an unrelated Android root solution. SR Patch is an APK signature-removal and re-signing tool. The names are similar but the software does completely different things.
These tools are third-party software, not affiliated with springmusk.dev. We link only official builds and never repacked or modded APKs. Verify the SHA-256 hash and scan the file on VirusTotal yourself before installing.
