I have tried to modify s40.py and android.py all seem not to work.

Can someone tell me how to update version by myselft

[Aranad]

The current working version for env_s40.py I've been using is "2.16.11" with token "PdA2DJyKoUrwLw1Bg6EIhzh502dF9noR9uFCllGk1478194306452". You have to run setup.py build and setup.py install after changing it.

[Cholowao]

First I changed file. This is my file

import hashlib
class S40YowsupEnv(YowsupEnv):
    _VERSION = "2.16.11"
    _OS_NAME= "S40"
    _OS_VERSION = "14.26"
    _DEVICE_NAME = "302"
    _MANUFACTURER = "Nokia"
    _TOKEN_STRING  = "PdA2DJyKoUrwLw1Bg6EIhzh502dF9noR9uFCllGk1478194306452"
    _AXOLOTL = True

    def getVersion(self):
        return self.__class__._VERSION

    def getOSName(self):
        return self.__class__._OS_NAME

    def getOSVersion(self):
        return self.__class__._OS_VERSION

    def getDeviceName(self):
        return self.__class__._DEVICE_NAME

    def getManufacturer(self):
        return self.__class__._MANUFACTURER

    def isAxolotlEnabled(self):
        return self.__class__._AXOLOTL

    def getToken(self, phoneNumber):
        return hashlib.md5(self.__class__._TOKEN_STRING.format(phone = phoneNumber).encode()).hexdigest()

    def getUserAgent(self):
        return self.__class__._USERAGENT_STRING.format(
            WHATSAPP_VERSION = self.getVersion(),
            OS_NAME = self.getOSName() + "Version",
            OS_VERSION = self.getOSVersion(),
            DEVICE_NAME = self.getDeviceName(),
            MANUFACTURER = self.getManufacturer()
        )

then I ran the following command
$ sudo python setup.py build

after that I ran
$ sudo python setup.py install

And finally this...
$ yowsup-cli registration -E s40 -d --requestcode sms --phone 255716xxxxxx --cc 255 --mcc 640 --mnc 02
Can you spot the error?

@Aranad

[Aranad]

@Cholowao you mean that's still giving the old_version error? or a different error now?

[Aranad]

oh wait there is an error - you don't have {phone} at the end of the token string - sorry should have mentioned that.
_TOKEN_STRING = "PdA2DJyKoUrwLw1Bg6EIhzh502dF9noR9uFCllGk1478194306452{phone}"

[Cholowao]

@Aranad
I have old_version error even after adding {phone} at the end. Did you tried this method recently?

[Aranad]

Yep I tried just now and it's still working - although I can't use the number for anything because I just wanted to use it with pidgin but they block it when I do that :-(

[Cholowao]

Oh! Sorry :(

Do you think I have to re-install something? like pip or any other package.
Because I installed everything today. Everything. But using pip install yowsup2

[Aranad]

No idea sorry, I'm a noob as well I only found yowsup after trying to figure out how to run whatsapp without a phone a few days ago.

[Reudi]

The _Version in env_s40.py is corresponding to the Whatsapp version right?
Because I changed it to the Whatsapp version I found on my phone which is 2.17.24
Now i get a "bad_token" message when i request a sms for regestration.
Does someone know how to modify the token?

[Cholowao]

Can you paste your env_s40 code here?

[rakeshmane]

Thanks for that token string @Aranad
I was facing the same problem but changing the token and whatsapp version worked for me.

[Varal7]

Worked for me as well.

[fipso]

Tried it today. Not working. Getting the same error.

[gnow1]

change this in env.py

DEFAULT = "Android"

[fipso]

Still getting the same error. I changed my env.py and rebuild.

[zippo81]

Hi,

I got the same issue. I also tried different changes and rebuild every time but nothing seems to work.

[fevzican]

i have same error too, i updated to version "2.16.11", and token "PdA2DJyKoUrwLw1Bg6EIhzh502dF9noR9uFCllGk1478194306452{phone}" but not working.

[fipso]

Worked without any changes on a different pc. Maybe ovh is just ip banned from whatsapp.
I used -E s40
