Registration Number return "reason: old version"

[DwarfKiller]

Hi there,

i tried to run yowsup but getting the well know "old version" fail at registration. I changed the env_android.py file as described in url https://coderus.openrepos.net/whitesoft/whatsapp_scratch ("letter 'a' and 'd'") for instance but keep getting der "old version" fail.

INFO:yowsup.common.http.warequest:b'{"login":"55xxxxxxxxxxx","status":"fail","reason":"old_version"}\n'
status: b'fail'
reason: b'old_version'
login: b'55xxxxxxxxxxx'

I use version in "env_android.py":
_MD5_CLASSES = "OyTf9XK7xoJkKIxLgY6/Lw=="
_VERSION = "2.17.426"

Could someone tell me if there is another version?

[apopovic77]

Hi, I am having the same problem, reason 'old_version'.

• Is this project dead?
• Is WhatsApp itself responsible for that?

Thx for responses!

[DwarfKiller]

I found the solution to my problem.

To perform the registration, it is necessary that the variable "DEFAULT" of the env.py file (path below) as defined as "android":

#DEFAULT = "s40"
DEFAULT = "android"

After this you need to recompile the lib (run the command at the root of the yowsup project and in the virtual environment, ex workon zapi):

python setup.py install​

[hgc2002]

that is working fine. I've just use version 2.177.426.
the command line for registration with android should look like this.

yowsup-cli registration --requestcode sms --phone countryandphone --cc countrycode --mcc yourmcc --mnc yourmnc --env android

[gero112233]

Is there a solution?
I can't Register a new number.
With original S40 i get the error old_version.
With changed Android and Version 2.17.426 i get the error reason: bad_param

[manelmolina]

I was having the same issue, the solution is edit env.py as follow

DEFAULT="android"

env_android.py:

_MD5_CLASSES = "OyTf9XK7xoJkKIxLgY6/Lw=="
_VERSION = "2.17.426"

After registration to be able to use yowsup-cli you have to modify again env.py to use s40

[gero112233]

Sorry, what di i wrong? I have an raspberry and do:
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup.git yowsup-master

Anlegen eines Konfig-Files

Editieren der Dateien wie oben beschrieben (env.py und env_android.py)

Registrierung:
python yowsup-cli registration -c /opt/yowsup-config/yowsup.config -r voice

Der Output:
yowsup-cli v2.0.15
yowsup v2.5.2

Ich bin für jede Hilfe Dankbar!

Wenn ich die Registrierung - -E s40 mache, bekomme ich den bekannten Fehler old_version

[apopovic77]

Hi,

i had to do two things in order to make it run.

1. get rid of metaclass error because of version incosistency with SIX.
   todo-> in env.py comment the line # __metaclass__ = YowsupEnvType

2. use a different version and token for the env_s40.py
   todo-> _VERSION = "2.16.12"
_TOKEN_STRING = "PdA2DJyKoUrwLw1Bg6EIhzh502dF9noR9uFCllGk1494451854337{phone}"

Greetings

Somebody update env_s40?? In android registration, I get block in one day.

[dbsdenis]

Baixem a versão mais recente, crie um MD5 usando dexMD5.py, modificando "env_android.py", como no tutorial, https://iamjagjeetubhi.wordpress.com/2017/09/21/how-to-use-yowsup-the-python-whatsapp-library-in-ubuntu/

python yowsup-cli registration --requestcode sms --phone 55XXXXXXXXXX --cc 55 --mcc 724 --mnc 03 -E android

[pabloruan0710]

@dbsdenis até conseguimos registar, mas quando se registra com android e utiliza com s40, o seu numero é banido bem rápido.

@manelmolina
This method worked for me, but has ceased to work yesterday.

_MD5_CLASSES = "OyTf9XK7xoJkKIxLgY6/Lw=="
_VERSION = "2.17.426"

_VERSION = "2.16.12"

DEFAULT = "android"

request:
yowsup-cli registration --requestcode sms --phone 7хххххххххх --cc 7 --mcc 250 --mnc 01 -E android

response:
status: b'fail'
reason: b'old_version'
login: b'7xxxxxxxxxx'

[tgalal]

update yowsup, register using android env, login using s40 env

[lazyjohny500]

@tgalal So there is no solution for registration with s40?

[TTP1106]

In my case it works fine to Register with android. Login with android does disconnect after connecting.
With s40 env I get this strange error:

Seems that somebody send me message that crash this script after register....

[dharampal123]

Did the below changes and worked for me:

Change in env.py file
set DEFAULT="android"

Change on env_android.py
_MD5_CLASSES = "DAPy33TbNMg0Yuplp2II0A=="
_VERSION = "2.18.339"

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

yowsup-cli registration -r sms -m 000 -n 00 -p 91XXXXXXXXXX -C 91 -E android
