Android Software Masters Only by Clinton594(m): 11:54am On Aug 23, 2014
If you're viewing this then I suppose you've handled one or two major Android system problems.
There is this problem I was given to handle Buh right now it's exhausted all my possible options yet no positive yield.

Whatsapp+ can't install even when after uninstalling the official Whatsapp.... meanwhile the official Whatsapp was preinstalled in the two phones I'm handling now (gionee m2 and tecno p5). I noticed that somehow every preinstalled user app that came with the phones managed to leave certificate key somewhere in the system such that even after uninstalling and you're about to reinstall, it tells you that 'the app your trying to install is going to use the previous data' and this keeps the moded version of Whatsapp from installing because it says certificate conflict.
both phones are rooted and I've cleared cache and delvik cache using cwm recovery.
at a point I had to restore factory yet it didn't change anything.
I used xposed installer to disable certificate check yet it didn't work, maybe it never disabled it anyway.
Now my only left option is to resign the Whatsapp plus with another certificate key so that maybe them both might install.

please who has handled this before, help me out. I've never left a task unhandled before and I feel bad not being able to do this, it looks small tho.

I need help to get rid of the certificate ishh left in my system somewhere

To solve this kind of problem, you need a PC client that can handle the root areas for you well. A Linux PC is the preferred system for this kind of work, if you know how to use it well.

Number 1 Option: Anyway, you can still use Mobogenie (Windows PC) version to uninstall stock apps on these phones.
Number 2 Option: the use of command line to perform the un-installation process is safer for you. You can also use the command line to format or delete the certificate folder if you want it that way.

I think you really need to download another Whatsapp+ from a different sources because I think the current one you're trying to install has a serious problem...

my dear I've used that one on my LG optimus vu... and remember the part where I said that after uninstalling and trying to reinstall any follow-come app, it tells you something about already existing data,if you accept it will install. Whatsapp official installs when you've accepted because it because it's among the preinstalled follow-come apps. but Whatsapp plus says conflict signature. so my problem is from the phone's system.

Well if must use it, then try flash another clean ROM.... Guess it will save you the trouble of signing an Android App with another certificate... (I remember when I use to sign my NOKIA 701 Symbian Belle app... It wasn't funny at all, the stress of getting the certificate from Nokia) Though I've not tried to sign an Android app since every app I use works for me just fine without too many troubles like that.

Use root Explorer to delete previous WhatsApp folder. Open root Explorer den goto ur root folder and click on search den type com.whatsapp and wait for d result and den delete every com.whatsapp folder, files u see den restart ur fone and try d whatsapp+ again. Remember to convert it to system app.

Thanks I love this option, I'll try it out. if it doesn't work I'll wait for my official kitkat rom to update via OTA
Re: Android Software Masters Only by Clinton594(m): 9:37am On Aug 25, 2014
Jeeeeeeez guy @ oshonola, it worked like magic.
o'Boy two bottles for you my man.

I deleted millions of files from the system folder, I didn't even care. but I noticed these guys didn't put any certificate in the system instead they hid and auto update Whatsapp app with a little of playstore icon on it. And I'm sure it would be like this for all other follow-come user apps.
when I wanted to install the app it showed me that data bla message and when I accepted installation it also displayed app not installed but without certificate error message. I knew I was now close.
but After I restarted it went in straight!
I left the fundamental thing I shud av done
thanks Bro, respect.

For me I use file manager(not the stock own o!) the one with pc folder icon with a gear icon together
When I opened it to use (after installing) it asked me for su rights and I granted it but to delete whatsapp, I had to go to the settings of the app and mount system as writable, which enabled me to delete whatsapp successfully

So check root explorer well and see whether you need to mount system to be writable
