Default Change meid or android id for instagram???

OK so I had an instagram account get flagged and banned. This happened before about 2 months ago but all i did was make a new account with a fake email and it worked. I know iphone users have to go switch thier phones or do a factory reset at the store or something. So i thought i was good. Well now it seems the program knows when your phone is YOUR PHONE . Even if i had another account tha wasnt banned I wouldnt be able to get in. So i tried changing my Android Id with Titanium Backup Pro and it didnt work. That led me to believe it is the MEID i have to change maybe.......

Im not sure but i really do love instagram and i honestly think HATERS are flagging my pics because none of them are complete nudity and if its close its more of a photography/artwork nudity then porn ...

any help would be appreciated even suggestions .. lets work .. and thanks in advance

You could contact the instagram admins to find out why you got banned and if there is an appeals process to get your account back.

Or you could take your lumps like an adult and accept the fact that you violated their t&c.

i understand that .. ill find the link to appeal ...
but im not worried about getting my account back..
but it basically banned MY PHONE not my account .. bc i had more than one account for business purposes and now i cant sign into that one on this phone
ive been banned and all i had to do was make a new account ... i know iphone users have to factory reset thier phone or take it to the apple store ..
ive factory reset , flashed a different rom, use titanium backup to change android id ... used a paid app to change android id ..... nothing ..... this is retarted of them as a company why not just delete the account ... what access did they have to ban my entire phone .. HOW DOES IT EVN KNOW ITS MY PHONE

DONATE TO ME
Don't change your meid silly, that's your identity to your phone company.

Lol Thanks .. i dont know what it does but I got my phone to be able to accept accounts. Im not 100% sure but ithink it puts a file called .profig.os on your sd card root so it can know that its your phone but i basically formatted my sd card and ODINED to fc19 and signed in with a different gmail for the initial setup

so it either has to do with the gmail u use with the inital setup and the market
or its that file bc "profig" looks alot like profile instagram abbreviated

but thanks for the tip anyway bc i would of been SOL if i changed my MEID probably

Yes it's the profig that is the one doing that I just kept deleting it every time I logged in thanks very much for this and God instagram sucks for banning both accounts even tho I only did "immoral"stuff on one

I recently have the same problem. Hoping someone can shine some light on my situation. I feel like I tried everything but get a new phone. I was in the process of using Titantium Back Up Pro to change Android ID but came across this thread. Then what I did was clear data for instagram then removed SD Card then reinstalled Instagram but still says my account is disabled. I even changed my android ID removed my current Gmail account made a new one and then installed Instagram all with sd card out and still says im disabled.

It's an Instagram issue that must be taken up with Instagram support.
