I see people keep saying that Whatsapp+ just offer more skins and customisations. Is not only this. Whatsapp+ its a total rip-off of Whatsapp and broking copyright rights in so many ways... I can't blame Whatsapp for this. Don't like their official app? Then don't use their services. There's tons of free apps doing same thing in Play Store. Any app developer will do the same thing as Whatsapp developers did. If i make a clone of Viber app, name it Viber+ and put a pink Viber-like icon how long you think will take until Viber will come on my ass?

But why the hell do they ban us then? It has to be our willing if someone "can" steal our data. Whatsapp and Facebook ARE stealing. And i can use whatsapp OR whatsapp +,the money for the subscription goes to whatsapp and their devs so they have to start thinking. Maybe whatsapp + just has another method to get our data and so whatsapp does not get is so they are pissed off? ^^

Just finished the mod bro. Its 00:42am now. Uploaded modded whatsapp to file sharing site. Only left is, to create post in JiMz Freebies with link and instructions. Please wait for some more time. I will do it as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that ROOT IS REQUIRED.
[General Topics] mufti.arfan:
Any method you've found for non root users? I did release same thing, but have found out most/many users are usually non root.
[General Topics] JimzFreebies:
No bro. Not possible for Non Root users. You will get ban.

I modded 6.27d version earlier. It worked but keep crashing. So, did other version. Now working fine.
[General Topics] mufti.arfan:
With 6.72D, the Smali is bit different as I've noted, so are the methods etc.

I'm also now getting reports that users are not getting banned after using the moded apk by me,even with hide ticks (though I don't know how long it will last)

?
[General Topics] JimzFreebies:
I'm currently using hide features including online status, double/blue tick. Working fine. I didn't modded 6.72 version but 6.65 version as its safest version.
[General Topics] mufti.arfan:
I would suggest then 6.60, because I've another phone number which uses it and it didn't get banned. And initially in my internal testing I used it on another number after modding it and it turned out to be good.

P.S the moded apk I released is based on 6.72 and is working fine as well.
[General Topics] JimzFreebies:
Actually, best version is 6.27 as we can hide our status and see other's status. In other versions, we can hide but can't see other's status.

BUT the problem in it is that it keeps crashing.

If someone fix its crashing issue then i wil mod it to work. .
[General Topics] mufti.arfan:
Tell me one thing, when you moded 6.27D did you restore any data to it? From newer whatsapp plus version?
[General Topics] jah2110:
give us the link!! thx
[General Topics] JimzFreebies:
No, its too risky. I will try it on my new no. to restore. Wil let u know 2morrow as its 01:50am here. Gonna slerp now. .
[General Topics] mufti.arfan:
Same here, I'm in India too.

Well if you restore from new whatsapp plus version, my logcats showed sqlite crash etc etc and I assumed something up with new db not flexible with old whatsapp plus. Just an assumption though.

Whatsapp Reborn 1

Yes, its working perfectly fine. The description says Antiban version. But i dont understand how can that be possible.

I am using Whatsapp Plus since a year.

I am not yet blocked.. :p :p
[General Topics] Waterskier:
It happens when you uninstall the app. While you run the authentication of a next installation, they detect the not genuine signature and kill you.
[General Topics] Pomeon:
Where do they find the signature, when the Whatsapp mod had been uninstalled? :)
[General Topics] Waterskier:
No problem if you reinstall the official version. But if you install W+ it is detected. No troubles with the antiban mod. However, if are not currently banned, you can go on with W+ unless you uninstall it.
[General Topics] D-m-x:
Just FYI, after the 72h Ban the next one is going to be 120h. Someone in a German Android Forum confirmed that.

then download official Wts , active my number, wait till banned time finished, then directly put another admin on my groups "which they will add me later as admin, not as member hehehe" , delete my whole account from setting / privacy / account , then I copy and paste chat data, media to WhatsApp folder and re-creation account with restore chat.

now 6 hrs left, no 120 hrs banned :D , I pay 0.99 $ also for 1 year to WhatsApp :D:D

Guys, a number of posts have been removed or edited by mods in the last few days. Linking to, or providing instructions to find any modded WhatsApp Plus type file is not allowed. There's a reason they're banning people who use them. There's also a reason XDA was issued with a C&D.

If anymore links or instructions to google a website are posted, the thread will end up closed.
[General Topics] JimzFreebies:
Ok bro. Thanks for informing. .
[General Topics] shadowcore:
How does it make sense to ban users for using a third party app? Not a whatsapp user but with this type of public stunt from whatsapp/facebook, I wouldnt ever bother with it. If it breaks their TOS, fine, but how does that make it any more intelligent to waste your customers?

People should jump ship and reteach them the meaning of "Customer is king". This isnt some sort of law people broke, but their tos.

As for the DMCA clains, oh boy, thats another can of worms for another discussion. Suffice to say that XDA recieving a C&D because somebody posts a link is in itself a joke.

Maybe JB Online Media should change their HQ to somewhere where regional laws are more friendly towards the user and less towards copyright bullying.

I think PLUS version developers will move to TELEGRAM and will make it TELEGRAM+. Because maximum users need that as its design & working is same as of whatsapp. Also, its having more functions
[General Topics] saqibkhan:
I second that.. but does telegram really need a plus version ?
[General Topics] a59:
I'm against permanent banning but Whatsapp makers have the right to protect their service regardless you and i think of this, it's their right to dictate the terms under which their app should be used to interact with others, personally i have never used options such as hiding online/disabling double tick or single tick for read messages, i just modified a pre-made theme to my own taste, don't care much about other functions.

Actually it has some extra features than whatsapp like we can send any file from it whether its apk or pdf. And UI is approximately same like WA. And i think its open source. . May be they will not ban(i heard from somewhere).
[General Topics] lionheart1910:
Yes...if developers can import contacts and group from whatsapp to telegram automatically and modding telegram like whatsapp plus..

....if it's possible after some time ..whatsapp will die
[General Topics] D-m-x:
As awesome as that would be, I don't think this will happen. Plus Users are the Minority here, regular Users (I'm guessing about 90-95%) don't care about Customizations or sending Files rather than Pictures or Videos. They propably don't even know there Pictures get compressed. So why would they move sometime in the near future?
[General Topics] JimzFreebies:
Bro. There was Orkut which was most popular than fb in india. But its gone now. I think WA time is coming close if they will continue to ban the people. .
[General Topics] jecarfor:
Yes they will close their eyes, because telegram has an open API that lets to develop custom versions of the app as highly customized as you can, they even promote developers to code their own telegram app. And when it comes to security, they even claim that if you can crack MProto you can receive 300.000 USD entering their cracking contest.

[General Topics] liamR:
Check with file Explorer if the Whatsapp folder contains "PLUS" sub folder. When you uninstall WA+ it leaves the PLUS sub folder in Whatsapp folder, maybe that the reason you keep getting banned.

Do you have root? Did you try to wipe Dalvik and Cache? Maybe worth a shot...

I have on one of my phones WA+ v6.65 still working without a problem, but that doesn't mean that it's ban proof. They ban randomly so only time will tell (maybe they insert the ban code in later versions).
[General Topics] Antiga Prime:
I seriously doubt WA is checking for the presence of the "Plus" folder. In case anyone is interested, I've uninstalled/reinstalled WA+ several times in the past two days, didn't get banned. I don't delete/rename folders, verify my number, etc.

I don't know how other's are doing when changing ROMs, but you only need to verify your WA number once, then every time I remove/install WA+ again, you just restore the app data with Titanium Backup, so I'm pretty sure that all WA is doing is checking for the signature when verifying/installing WA.

I guess we'll see if I ever get banned. Maybe they are just checking for the signature and then banning people randomly, who knows.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

But most users got their first ban were not re-installing the app. They just got banned suddenly.

Maybe WA started automatically verifying every account on January 20th, without knowledge of the users. This way they banned all te users of WA+ at that time.

After completing the verification of all users, they now only check (and maybe ban) the users who try to verify their account after (re-)installation.
