WhatsApp on a rooted Asus TF300T without WhatsApp Backup

[Giovanraaij]

Hello everybody,

I'm wondering if I could get WhatsApp on my Asus TF300T Tablet without a WhatsApp backup from my mobile. I've already searched a lot and nothing worked so far. My device is rooted so it would be easier :cyclops: right?

Greetings,

What's wrong about using a backup?
Backup your whatsapp with titanium on your smartphone and restore it on your tablet - wouldn't that work?
It does on Nexus 7 though

Why dont you just download and install a whatsapp apk but not from the playstore? That should be working too, I guess.

Guess that won't work as it needs your phone number to activate

I'd like to have it on my tablet as well. But for it's the other way around. Rooted smartphone but not tablet :/
Any suggestions?

before I rooted I just installed whatsapp straight after downloading the apk from the official whatsapp site and started the procedure using my phone number (I too don't have a smartphone anymore), it will not detect any sms since it's sent on the phone but if you wait for 5 minutes you'll get a voice call from whatsapp giving you the code to verify the number, since I'm I have a tf300tg it runs without a hitch but when I tried any tf300t roms it showed the "tablets are not supported" message so I don't know if it'll work for you without root. Note that if you get it to work and you do have whatsapp installed on a smartphone the first instance of whatsapp will cease to work, so we will need to re-verify the app but it will then disable the tablet's whatsapp, you can only have one whatsapp account, if you really need 2 devices to work with whatsapp then you need to buy a new number and ask your friends and family to add it to their phone book as you. Hope I helped in any way.

The best way is to install Market Helper,
and then activate your TF300T as a phone.

Then you can install WhatsApp or Viber without a single problem.
If you are installing WhatsApp - just wait 5 minutes and then you will have an option to receive a call with an activation code.
