Getting "status":"fail","reason":"old_version"\n' status: b'fail' reason: b'old_version' when registering using yowsup-cli

[Fickri-s]

I've implemented #1725 and #1716, referencing at #1729 solution.

using this line:
yowsup-cli registration --requestcode sms --phone 628XXXXXXXXXX --cc 62 --mcc 510 --mnc 01
gives me these output:
INFO:yowsup.common.http.warequest:b'{"status":"fail","reason":"old_version"}\n'
status: b'fail'
reason: b'old_version'

Also, changing the default to android doesn't work as solution in yowsup/env/env.py.

I'm having the same issue, after change the default value to android on env.py I also modify env_android.py to set version to 2.16.225 (current whatsapp version) but now the error message is "bad token" I think that is also necesary to set a new KEY on the same file but I don't know how to get it.

Solved:

• On env.py set default to "s40" and on env_S40 set the right key:

If you want to imitate to be a recent client,
more than the version number have to be changed.
See, for example this

Update to latest master where version number and token are fixed.

Change the constant's value to "android" in the file yowsup/env/env.py:
DEFAULT = "android"
