Have you tried with wart?

Re: Whatsup - Harmattan client [UPDATED 15-10-2015]
 
Hmm forgot about WART. Just tried it, but I get a similar error:
Could not request code using either sms or voice.
SMS: {"status":"fail","reason","blocked"}

I think I have to contact whatsapp for this, hipefully they are willing to unblock me.

Hi,

in the settings, I cannot change the privacy password, I tried several times and several ways. only by editing the config-file in /home/user/.config/cepiperez/whatsup.conf, there the line PrivacyPassword, it's written in plaintext.

and is there a way to deactivate the privacy mode by shell command? like
/opt/whatsup/whatsup-launcher with parameters?

Re: Whatsup - Harmattan client [UPDATED 15-10-2015]
 
Whatsup is working again. I had to contact whatsapp via the original app. Luckily I still had a nokia s40 lying around. But I have to say that the support department is not the most customer friendly. To much automated replies requesting extra basic info which they just could have asm for in the first message etc...

Anyway, I'm glad I can again use this awesome app again.

The Changelog here says, with 1.2.9 you can switch back to plain text messages:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=962
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=971

So I thought with 1.2.9 you can switch at will between official client and WhatsUp.
But I didn't try this feature... I've only used WhatsUp all the time.

Well, I do not have a nokia s40 lying around and I am still blocked. Do you think it is necessary to have an old nokia s40 to get unblocked?

See:

When you plug your phone in to your PC and choose this mode, your PC sees a new Ethernet device with IP address 192.168.2.14, and your phone is accessible over SSH on IP address 192.168.2.15.
You can use ssh, FileZilla, WinSCP or PuTTY to connect.

Hey man, so sorry for the late reply!

But okay, if I get this SDK mode, will I then be able to access the root of the phone's memory???

Also, will I be able to do this on a Win7 PC? Having read that topic it seems people are talking about it for Linux??? :(

Re: Whatsup - Harmattan client [UPDATED 15-10-2015]
 
Sorry to crash this thread. Just a quick copy from the SailfishOS thread because I think this is platform independent ;-)

So just a quick heads up to all you WhatsUp users. I have been blocked from using the service after a certain incident.

I was leaving a few groups but before doing so I wanted to set things straight. So the thing that got me banned (probably) was giving and revoking admin rights in bulk.

I have the list in front of me, where I can name and denounce folks from the admin privilege. It should get applied after I'm done by acknowledging all the changes (tick arrow on SailfishOS).
This apparently tried to communicate all the changes at once (or maybe you can't revoke admin rights or even remove folks from groups, you can only leave?) thus leading to my ban.

After quite a while I have finally been unblocked (send about 15 mails to them - yay! I was this close to leaving the service alltogether!)

So maybe we can stick to how the official apps workflow in these regards, even if the API allows for it someway or the other. That's how I got tracked down.

Now as I have a mail adress that could easily be linked to my username here - and just in case someone from WA is watching us - thanks for the unban and for all the fish. So long

Blocked means : you're out of luck with that number ...

You need to contact WhatsApp using the official app (there is a support bitton inside the app)

But please:
DO NOT EVER MENTION that you used Whatsup !!!!!!

Yes, you will be able to ssh as normal user, set root passwd, and then mount rootfs by using sshfs on local machine.

Hello dear friend

If I could realize your problem true, you have 2 ways:
A:
1) Install WinSCP your Win PC
2) Execute it
3) Connect your N9 to PC via USB cable or an access point that your PC is connected to it
4) Enter N9 IP and root as user and its pass
5) Go to the pass that you want and download what you want from the N9 to PC.

B:
1) You need a Linux (real installation on your hard or via a virtual machine like VMware or virtual box)
2) Install Ubiboot on your N9
3) Turn off phone
4) boot the Linux and login to your user
5) Connect N9 via USB cable to Linux
6) All N9 drives are mounted on Linux
5) Go to the pass that you want and download what you want from the N9 to Linux.
6)
If Linux is real: copy your files to your windows drive or another drive than linuxians
If Linux is virtual: copy your files from Virtual to your real windows ;)

Re: Whatsup - Harmattan client [UPDATED 15-10-2015]
 
Hi,

as posted here my account was blocked.
I was able to get it unblocked by WhatsApp Inc. by requesting help via email.

Some more details:

After 3 weeks of being blocked, I deleted my account (using N9 WhatsUp client) and tried to reregister using WART. It faild.
If you have the same problem you should NOT delete your account and try the steps beyond. Here is what I did:
  • paying the annual fee via the Link BMW i8 posted once in this thread
  • (some days later) I requested help via email to "support@whatsapp.com"; I included my phone number and the PayPal transaction code and stated that "my whatsapp does not work anymore; i had been using the free version, that I deleted my account and paied the fee".
  • the first replay was instantly and automated, telling me that they received my email and to read their FAQ.
  • the second replay I got arrived about a week later and was an auto replay telling me to read their FAQ and to replay to this email if my problem persists. Of course I replied (via email). Their email contained some questions regarding my phone. I only answeared that it was a "Nokia S40" series.
  • 3 days later I got a message telling me:
    Quote:

    Your WhatsApp account was banned because you violated our Terms of Service and were using an unauthorized application and/or unsupported device.
    Should we determine that your actions continue to violate our Terms of Service, your account will be permanently banned and there will be no possibility of an appeal.
  • I used WART to reregister. I got an SMS and verified the code using WART. After adding username and password to "/home/user/.config/cepiperez/whatsup.conf" I was online again.

I hope this may help someone.

Best Regards,
SecretAgent

Re: Whatsup - Harmattan client [UPDATED 15-10-2015]
 
After telling you in this post that my account got blocked I want to add some information about the actions the let to this result.

After using our great WhatsUp client for more than a year I tried to set up a group to invite some friends for my brithday. The version I was using was 1.2.7. While initially creating the group I added 10 persons. Adding more was not allowed by the WhatsUp client. So instantly after I created the group I tried to add 2 more persons and BANG... I got banned.

It seems that we do something different in creating groups or adding persons than the original software.

I hope this information may help others to avoid the problem or to improve our WhatsApp client.

Best Regards,
SecretAgent

why does it have to be this difficult?
remind me why you need to access this in your pc, and why you require root in first place.
I haven't used my N9 for a while but if i am not wrong, isn't everything, the config files and database stored in the home (/home/user) somewhere? (better ask Cepi for the exact location)
you could easily use a file manager (like filecase) to access these files. and even if it is not in home, you can browse the root directory too from filecase itself.
btw, i had an old copy of /home/user/MyDocs/Whastup/.backup. I couldn't find the database there.

Or is it that you have already checked this and not found anything and want to attempt file recovery, which i think might not work as you have been using the phone for 3 months, you say. The database probably has been overwritten during this time.

Re: Whatsup - Harmattan client [UPDATED 15-10-2015]
 
Can confirm that. Im also was adding some contacts to my group before i got banned.

Just wait to take some activities in groups. Do not add members or otherwise, where there is a risk that you become disabled.

This is just what happened to me but I don't understand the rationale in it: why on earth should my account be disabled if I deal with groups?

Beyond this: what could I do now to have my account and Whatsup work again?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi chilango, I have read the thread but I cannot find a solution suitable for this problem -- unless you mean asking the WhatsApp support, which is something I don't mean to do. BTW, I didn't find the message you say you wrote here with the solution: could you please point me to it? Reading the FAQ on WhatsApp site it seems likely that my behavior with group could be the reason for a ban. Thank you anyway for you answer

I do not understand! What should I tell to the Supporter? My S4 is perfect online and usable. If I switch it off, my WU is still disabled. Have I missed something in your solution?

Please help, it would be a shame if I would have to scrap my N9!!

you have to reregister WU on the N9. If the message tell you that server response is blocked so you mail WA support i think you are not blocked. reregister should work

Strange! I think I was blocked in the first place: Suddenly, on the N9, I was not able to connect anymore. After I day of trying I took the S4 and I could connect again (with registering). I saw, that I was thrown out of ALL my Groups!
