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,

Giovanraaij

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 :)

AW: WhatsApp on a rooted Asus TF300T without WhatsApp Backup

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

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.
