I'm upgrading from my old Android to a new Samsung and I don't want to lose all my progress and troops in Clash of Clans. What's the safest method to transfer everything without getting my account banned?
Link your account to Supercell ID (or Google Play if you haven't already) on your old phone before switching - this is the safest and most official method. Once you've set that up, just sign in with the same credentials on your new Samsung and your entire village, troops, and progress will sync automatically. Make sure you're using the same email and account details on both phones to avoid any mix-ups, and you won't have any ban risk since you're using the game's built-in transfer system rather than trying to move files around manually.
The Supercell ID method is definitely the way to go since it's built right into the game, but make absolutely sure you've got a strong, unique password set up for it because if someone gets access to that ID they can hijack your whole village! Once that's locked down, just download the game on your new Samsung and log back in - your troops, buildings, everything transfers over instantly.
