After the update from a week ago I can't use the bin editor anymore.I'm using a rooted Android device and when I try to open my .bin files with PBE 2.8.0 I now get an error pop-up: "---File Read Error--- the bin file is broken. it has failed to retrieve the bin file from the terminal. ※this error does not show if there is a problem with the padBinEditor."And on PBE 2.6.3 I get an empty "---file broken---" error pop-up.This past week I could still use my old edited .bin files from before the update but I had to replace them while inside the dungeon, however with today's update I can't get my old files to work (Plus I accidentally deleted them) so I'm looking for any solutions or ideas.I can see that it still works for other people so I'm assuming it only works for iOS now. Can anyone else using Android confirm?

I got it to work, the problem probably lies with ES File Explorer which I use to transfer the .bin files to my PC through wifi.

I noticed that the checksums of the files weren't identical on my phone and on my PC and in fact when I deleted my data21/36 and downloaded fresh ones I got a "Failed to calculate checksum" error, I tried to upload them to dropbox but I got an access denied error so I copied them to my home directory and when I checked the hash there it was computable and after LAN transfer with ES it was identical to the one on my PC.

TLDR: The whole thing was fixed by simply copying the .bin files from root to any other unprotected directory and then transferring them to PC.

Since I was forced to make an account just to be able to download PBE 2.8.0 I might as well use it to share a few tips I found on how to effectively use this hack if you're aiming for speed:
- Tip 1 - Don't multiply your team's stats, instead decrease your enemies' stats, It's safer and faster. You could use the multiplier tool but it's better to just set a fixed value for all enemies' HP/ATK/Armor (lvl1 and lvlmax) (You need to edit monster "No. 000 Change All", the one above the other No.000).
I set enemy ATK and Armor to 0 and HP to 101, this is to deal with Parvati in the Arena who has a >1% resolve, just trust me on this one. Alternatively you can set enemy ATK higher and utilize this to save some time by letting enemies with a pre-emptive atk kill themselves by reflecting damage. For instance: You're using a Surtr lead and running Sky Dragon Rush, by setting all the enemies ATK to 200 and HP to 100 all the dragons will be dead and you'd have cleared the dungeon without having to do ANYTHING, not even pressing a button for an active skill or matching an orb, this is because each dragon deals 40% of 200 = 80dmg as a pre-emptive and Surtr counters x2 of the dmg taken so every dragon will be reflected 160dmg and will die.

- Tip 2 - Use actives to clear dungeons faster: Make a team full of monster with active skills that deal damage to all enemies, because of the skill hack (editing data 36 in the original instructions) you will have all skills up at turn 1 (if you have at least one skill boost awakening in the team) then you could button farm with 5 mechdragons that deal 30k dmg because all enemies have only 100HP. Pair that with 1 monster that has a "Reduces cooldown [cd] of other skills" (aka haste) active and you can clear a 10-stage dungeon without matching any orbs, pair 4 dmg actives with 2 haste actives (that form makeshift system) and you can clear endless corridor or almost anything without matching any orbs, Unless your monsters get (skill) bound or have their cds delayed, To get around this I use these farmable Final Fantasy collab cards. Just 2 of them on your team form a system that can clear any dungeon by button farming, no matching needed (if you haven't clicked the links their AS both deals damage and has haste), that leaves room in your team to stack Skill Bind resistance awakening and an unbindable bind-clear-active and maybe damage reduction awakenings to survive 100% gravities, or even a luxurious skill delay resistance card with haste. You can get anything that you're missing by pairing with a friend, Awoken Amaterasu is a godsend because she has 2 SBR, a haste, a bind clear and a heal (gravities still do damage to you after all) so I often used to pair with her to farm Arena.

If you haven't saved any of the above 3 cards then I feel sorry for you, you can get them the next time FF comes around.

-Tip 3 - How to get to rank 400 in a few days:

Farm normal dungeons until KoG then farm KoG until you have 99 sta. From then out if you have a suitable team run both Arena and KoG, otherwise continue with just KoG or better yet Mechdragon Rush from the coin dungeons.

To make farming easier you'll need to use everything in the above 2 tips, for normal dungeons you don't need SBR and bind clears, 5 dragons and a haste are enough. For Arena you need to stack 5 or more SBR (you could still get skill bound at the tamadra stage if a tama first binds a sbr card so you lose those awakening, and then another tama uses skill bind) and the above mentioned bind clear (BFF with A. Ama ftw!).

The next part is where the real magic happens: You will need a macro manager app, what that is is an app that records screen taps and can then play them back, I use HiroMacro. You just have to record your button pressing in KoG once and after that just press play and walk away, watch a movie or something until the hacks clear the dungeon, then you just have to manually enter the next dungeon and repeat. Arena might need a bit more complicated, the macro I saved alternatively spams my 2 FF cards with every few seconds spamming Amaterasu, but I still get stuck on Hino Kagutsuchi and on Thoth due to their CD delay.

If you're on Android another thing that I've found useful is the app xmodgames that has a speed hack, I used it to speed up my arena runs by a lot (set to x100 speed it will only actually double the speed of the animations) a drawback is that it messes up the stamina count and dungeon times. It stopped working for me when I updated my phone to Android 6 (technically CyanogenMod 13) but you might still make use of it.

- Tip 4 - Save scumming: the same way you can extract data21 and data36 you can also backup data63 when you're already inside a dungeon, this contains your dungeon progress and restoring the backup (loading a save) will reset the dungeon to the point where you saved it. There is only a point to this if the data21 and data36 hacks don't work or you want to try completing a dungeon with your skill alone but don't want to risk dying. Here is a list of what all the data files do.

That's all I can think of right now. I've theorized that there's a way to modify some of the data files using PBE to reduce all dungeons to just 1 stage but I'm too lazy to figure it out.

Everyone is welcome to share and add to this guide and I'll humbly ask the OP @TanukiFriedRice to maybe incorporate some of this in the first post so that it doesn't get lost forever, I spent maybe 2 hours writing this up.
