Had the error after updating.
Here' how I solved it.
1. Uninstall Patcher
2. Uninstaller Pandora
3. Reboot
4. Install Patcher
5. Open and set preferences
6. Activate in Xposed
7. Reboot
8. Install Pandora from Play Store then Open & signin
Done

Didn't work for me. You sure you turned back on mp3 support? The error doesn't seem to cause any issues though, i just click through and everything seems to be working.

I did not have the error mentioned above.

However I just go an ad. Skipped about 5 times and got another ad.

In pandora patcher it says it's not active, even though it was checked in xposed and I have rebooted. Apparently it is active, because I can login to pandora. Otherwise I would have gotten "sorry, pandora is not active in this country". As I did get after installing pandora 5.9, before activating the patch.

I did not have pandora or pandora patcher installed previously.

ROM: Temasek 5.0.2, Lollipop.

edit: apologies, problem was Xposed installer not having root rights.

So it's working with MP3 support turned on?

Same 3002 error code as many are experiencing regardless of all installation methods.

Same here, didn't work but hit ok on the error 3-4 times and it goes away until Pandora is shut down and reloaded.

Having the same 3002 error. Here's a logcat of the error. Hope it helps, and thanks for your work gamer. It is much appreciated man.

I noticed the redirection of pandora in Adaway causes the program not to start. Any workaround? TIA

[(GL)gamer765]

What are you redirecting it to? Could be that the bypass no longer works

I cant find the original thread for some reason. But natebrochill had posted ips for pandora. Com and tuner. Pandora. Com to add in Adaway under the redirection tab so that we didn't have to re-enable region bypass each time Adaway updated the host file.

The region bypass is working for me otherwise. I'M just having to re-enable it daily because of updates to Adaway host file.

Was hoping there would be a workaround so this wasn't necessary as I am lazy

I've updated Pandora and the Patcher (see my procedure below) However, I also get the error that others are talking about... but I don't know how (or if) it affects Pandora. I thumbs-upped a song, which triggered Pandora to delete the 128kbps version and download a 192kbps version... so it seems that feature is working. I haven't tested the file, but I have no reason to believe it would be corrupt.
I haven't tried skipping several songs or anything to see if it works... but I have a Pandora One account anyway, so I don't anticipate hearing any ads.

Is anyone other than Gamer NOT getting the 3002 error? It opens two popups with the error in quick succession when I start the app and the channel list loads. The music starts playing (I have auto-start last channel turned on) regardless of whether I click OK on them or not. I really don't see how this error affects the operation of Pandora or the Patcher at all.

Also... I got the same app freeze/crash that I got with 5.7 and 5.8, as well. I force-closed Pandora the first time I opened it (to see if the 3002 error would show the next time... it did), and the first song that played got stuck on the screen. Partially through the second song, Pandora produced the "not responding" error, and I closed it. Ugh... OK... Let me install the non-Play edition now, as I've done for the last two releases... Why did I update Pandora again?

Here's the process I went through, with notes:
Installed the new version of Pandora Patcher over the old one <--- this started as a mistake, but I rolled with it.
Uninstalled Patcher
Uninstalled Pandora
Rebooted (Full, initiated from power menu)
Installed Patcher (took a long time, for some reason... maybe because the phone was still booting)
Set up preferences in xposed mod
Rebooted (Full, initiated from xposed notification)
Install Pandora from Google Play
Open immediately and sign in

I have not installed the update as per the post above me but i got that 3002 error from the original OP. It turned out to be the adblocker I had installed, though...nothing with the patcher app itself. I disabled the ad blocker and the 3002 error disappeared.

I disabled AdAway (the only ad blocking software I have on my phone) and rebooted... I still got the error.

... not that I want to disable Ad Away forever. I'd rather click OK twice (or not... the music starts either way) than endure all the ads that litter the internet and free apps.

my works perfectly fine now. all you have to do is toggle the mp3 option on/off and leave it off ie unchecked in the patcher.

1) open patcher and turn off (uncheck) the Pandora MP3 Support option
2) clear the pandora apps data and cache
3) launch pandora and log in with your account

after that it's been fine for me. never got an error again.

works on my verizon note 3 kit kat 4.4.2
and on my wife galazy s4 too which is running kit kat

OK, dumb question, here...

What exactly is the MP3 option? Does it just download as MP3 instead of AAC? Is that all it is? Yeah, duh, I know I can just try it out, but I don't want to delete and resave any of the songs that I have already downloaded with another format, nor do I want to get any songs that I don't want. So, in the spirit of conversation, I'm posing the question here. Because... I haven't noticed that error message actually messing anything up.
It seems to me that the MP3 download option works just fine, in spite of the error message that pops up. I have had the MP3 option selected since I before I started up v5.9, and I downloaded a couple songs without issue.

As far as I'm concerned, the message boxes might as well say "Please close this box" and "OK, now please close this box. Thanks, enjoy Pandora."

Is anyone having actual problems with using the app/patcher that prevent intended use?

The MP3 option makes Pandora play either 128 or 192kbps MP3, depending on your Pandora subscription. Apart from Pandora playing MP3, it also downloads the song as an MP3. Also thanks for the logcat, i'll look into what's going on and hope to fix it.
