I opened the update_complete file with a text editor and changed the version number.

Important note: I was going to stay with 1.2.33 as well, however, on the 3rd or 4th level there was a problem loading resources that weren't available, so the game crashed, therefore I had to overwrite back to 1.2.42. Apk and data weren't compatible.

Alright guys, but it's by no means a clear-cut tutorial, and well technically - I didn't hack 1.2.42, but 1.2.33 then reverted back. Firstly I had 1.2.42 installed and up to date. I also had Lucky Patcher's 'Disable signature verification in the package manager' applied in xposed settings. What I did was install the 1.2.33 apk version over the top of 1.2.42, then I went into the data/data game folder and deleted (my memory is a bit fuzzy here guys) player.player.dat, play_stats.csv and possibly the player.HERO file there. Then I (funnily) opened the update_complete file with a text editor and changed the version to 1.2.33. Opened the game, made a new character then... I followed this YouTube tut exactly: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aHLEKmeAT14 to get the gems and gold. Finally I quit, installed the 1.2.42 apk over the top of the other, edited the update_complete file to read 1.2.4.2 and I was set. I backed up all my files before doing any of this.

I've managed to do it - gems and gold, however I had to start my game/characters from scratch (but it was worth it). Anyone interested?
