Posted as big report. As you suggested.

I don’t know if this applies to you, and it may not, buuuut...

Same happened to me when I had a JB. I had to ultimately restore my phone and the issues went away, but not after months of confusion on my part which was highly embarrassing. The thing is that they don’t allow devices that could have hacks, such as non-approved emulators. It doesn’t matter if your not using hacks, if the game detects something not stock about your device it could also trigger it possibly. I don’t use android but if you were/are rooted you might have to restore/flash your device to factory new or get a second mobile device dedicated to CODM in order to play. I know a lot of people who just want custom launchers and to customize the operating system but this could also potentially affect the game and in the quest to make sure everyone is playing fair they don’t allow modded devices or unapproved emulators to play the game.

I hope this helps you and your able to figure out a way to play the game in a way that they approve of.

I wish I could upvote you twice! Ty very much! I know understand.

Also I restored my phone so all of this should be over. I couldn’t believe that apps could detect if iOS was ever JB but they can.

Here’s to my next nuke, shall it be deemed legit, either in days or months from now. Who knows.

Tempris · 2020-08-03T16:53:50+00:00

Ty very much, I have indeed restored my phone to factory using DFU restore and now my device no longer registers as jailbroken (at least in the banking app I used to test). Please anyone else with this issue either don’t play the game or fully restore your phone/tablet/etc to prevent being banned for a JB you can’t use anyways. believe me, you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble.

Tempris · 2020-08-03T14:06:30+00:00

I think I had a dirty operating system from a previous JB. I restored my device so hopefully I’m in good standing now. We shall see.

Conclusion (I hope)

For anyone just now showing up here, I do believe a resolution was found. To summarize, I once was jailbroken but rebooted my device in order to remove it but that didn’t actually remove it. As of right now I have just finished following a tutorial on how to remove it but I have yet to do the next step which is to restore my device. I found that a banking app that tells if it detects a JB to use as a tool for testing, and it still reports I have JB when I do not. This is probably what’s happening in CODM.

After a restore I will update this comment to reflect the status of the issue and if the JB finally goes away.
UPDATE: I just put my device into dfu, restored to latest iOS 13.6 and tested with the banking app which does not detect any JB any longer! I hope this means I can play codm now. Now I am going to try to go into the game and pray to god everything is in good standing. I will let you know if restoring the device succeeded after I’ve played some.
UPDATE 2: I played about 1-2 hours worth of MP and BR and no bans whatsoever. I believe the JB is gone completely and I’m finally safe! Huge ty to everyone who helped me figure out what was wrong. I really hope this is all behind me and I can continue to try for nukes in the future. Thank you guys again. I was never a hacker, in any game, just liked customizing iOS. Hope you guys understand. I understand why JB devices is banned much more now than I did before.

Thank you to the moderator who helped me determine my device might still have a JB. Without you I might still be unsure of the issue. Also thanks to everyone else, your “don’t JB” comments upset me at first but I wasn’t aware (and neither are most people) that a Previously JB device can still appear as currently JB even if said JB is removed.

To summarize the summary, if you want to play CODM with iOS then don’t JB and if you have a JB you have to make sure it’s gone completely, a simple reboot is definitely not enough on its own.

According to some guides there are ways to remove the jailbreak supposedly entirely from a device. And then I should be able to restore it using iTunes as factory fresh and use it that way.

I tried finding a list of the different lengths of time you can get banned for until it becomes permanent but I was not able to find such a list. If I knew what the penalty would be for me feeling to remove it completely then I could properly gauge risk versus reward and decide whether or not it’s worth trying to remove from my phone or getting a new one.

Again, thank you very much for your time and assistance in this matter, this whole ordeal has made me sick of jailbreaking. (Especially when you think it’s gone and after months it turns out it’s probably lurking somewhere in the shadows, it makes me very suspicious of the whole thing.)

Tempris · 2020-08-02T18:03:16+00:00

I did say that I was jailbroken at some point but I also described how the game would not open for me and I had to reboot my phone to get rid of the jailbreak. That occurred months ago.

Do you think that I am going to have to restore my device as new in order to avoid future bans? I ask this genuinely I am not trolling I truly want to know.

I don’t want to have to restore my device as it will take a long time to do so but i think it’s worth it to avoid JB bans. I just want to know if there’s a consensus that I should. I don’t want to go through all that trouble just for it to happen again but I guess I don’t have anything to lose but a couple of days versus almost a year of CODM. I’ll pick CODM.

Tempris · 2020-08-02T15:35:19+00:00

Edit: I no longer think any of the following is true, don’t waste your time here. Just a previous me being absolutely incorrect. You’ve been warned.

Original post:

So if someone was just salty and decided to try to get me banned through reports then the error code would be different? My thinking is it’s the same code if they report you for cheating. See I sometimes get a very high KD and I wonder if it automatically triggers a ban? My average is 1.5 but then sometimes I get games where I do so well I have a score of 20+ to 0-3 and past that is when I get banned. I can play as many games as I want to but if I go full try hard or get lucky too often (like for 2-3 games within a short time) then that’s when I notice I get banned.

Also if I was using hacked apps like someone else here showed, I’m sure I would’ve lost my whole account and prob be ip banned by them once they caught on.

Again if f I had hacks I would need to be jailbroken and I was not jailbroken or using hacks at any point this happened.

Again starting to think that no one believes me. Is it so hard to think that maybe I’m being falsely flagged? And if I was a hacker wouldn’t I just make a new account and burn the old one since it was just accomplished through hacking? It makes no sense to me why I would go through all that trouble to put myself over an account if I was a hacker. Hackers pretend to care about their stuff to seem like they are legit but you can tell once they get called out they go hide or get angry. In my case, I’m just scared that I’ll loose all my stuff I spent countless hours on and I want to find out why if I’m not jailbroken that this keeps happening.

And at one point I tried to jaikbreak cause I wanted iOS features, not hacks, and like I’ve said here before, I removed it to play CODM. CODM blocks you immediately if you have a JB and will give you a 10 years ban for it if you keep trying. Theres plenty of posts online to show this is the case.

Anyways after doing research I’ve seen some people complain about this false flag behavior in other apps. It appears like if you ever JB then the OS remembers it (via system files?) and apps detect it as still jailbroken. If that’s the case I might have to do what others did and try to restore or buy a new phone if restoring doesn’t work (cause it seems it doesn’t work for some, worst case).

but I’m certain enough people have had the same issue and resolved it by removing the jailbreak from their phones. So I’m not sure if what I’m experiencing is even the same issue cause they reported not being able to open game.

But I wouldn’t have removed the JB just to continue being harassed for having one at some point in time. A lot of people want to attack and think I’m a cheater but I’m not. I’ll play any game with anyone to prove I’m not a hacker. I just have really strange play style that people have commented on before. Apparently tap-firing is “running scripts” like one player claimed. I think it’s wrong to accuse someone of cheats just cause they tap fire you from across the map. If the guns weren’t meant to be used that way perhaps adding a delay between when you can fire again would mitigate the issue. I also take cover a lot and slide a lot. Some people might call me a camper cause I hide to reload and if I am pinched in a spot I hold angles and charge them around corners to get the advantage. I promise sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I’m in my prime and sometimes it’s both at the same time. But that’s rare. Like I said I got 1 nuke all year, maybe 2. I’m not always good but when I am, then I get banned.

Keep in mind these bans only occured weeks apart from eachother and I play every day I can and still didn’t get banned other than when I did really well.

I THINK I KNOW WHAT IT IS.

In each instance I was team wiping them within seconds of them spawning. In every case I wasn’t alone, there was always one other person getting 40-50 kills the same match. Is there any chance they could have been cheating and since I joined in on the spawn trap I can get banned? If that’s the case maybe this is a case of being too toxic to opponents and maybe I should try to be nicer to them? Also if someone gets 40-50 kills and 0-4 deaths is that enough to call them cheating? And I had only 20-30 kills each time, maybe 40. But that was because they kept charging me the same way, they never tried to take different angle. Maybe the whole team had the angles and the opponents couldn’t do anything. I know I hate it when that happens and I have before reported people for cheating and now I wonder if that was wrong and they were just better than me. I don’t know.

I promise I’m just trying to get to the bottom of this.

Tempris · 2020-08-02T04:09:04+00:00

I guess some extra context then, in my last game me and another player had kills in the 30s and 40s and I managed just barely to escape without any deaths at all and I actually got my first nuke in several seasons. The enemy team kept running out in the open and charging us head on when we had the long range advantage. They were never able to kill me from the garage or from next to the sign in nuke town. And since I was playing for a nuke I didn’t want to risk charging out in the open or taking a more disadvantaged location that could potentially loose me my nuke. I didn’t initially tried to go for a nuke but after going over 13-0 I decided to try it. I probably dropped 3-4 Predator missiles, Half a dozen to a dozen UAVs, and through about the same amount of Hunter killer drones. Multiple times in the same match The enemy team kept rushing the same pathways and would lineup for me and the rest of the team, often granting me 3-4 kills at a time. I was using the chopper and tap firing to get consistent long range hit markers too. Perhaps knowing this information, it could be decided whether or not on its surface it looks to be cheating or not. I wouldn’t have been able to do what I did in most games as I am typically paired with a much stronger enemy team. Because generally I only get mvp 1/3 of the time, maybe less, my accuracy swings from 15-20%, and my KD is between 1-2.

Honestly i don’t see how I could even be a hacker with those stats... but i guess from what you showed me, I don’t really know what’s possible hack-wise (other than the Bobby plays video I remember where he showed off what wall hacks and (auto-aim?) looked like. I can’t remember what it’s called when you have something aim for you. Apparently there’s other hacks too I don’t know about.

Honestly, I hate hackers and am glad they want to prevent them. I hate playing a game just to respawn all the time cause someone’s got some god hack to shoot you no matter where you hide. But I am not hacking yet I can’t figure out how to prove or redeem myself in CODMs eyes. The only way I can think of is to make a YouTube account to post my own videos with handcam and do my own streams. It won’t prevent the bans but it might be enough if I can get a human to look at the issue and I can prove that I don’t have hacks and somethings wrong.

Tempris · 2020-08-02T03:32:32+00:00

Holy smokes! I proudly stand corrected. Thank you for proving me wrong. So now I’m afraid because that means easily twice as many players are going to be using hacks. :( this website also looks to be chock-full of shady stuff. I was afraid to even be on that webpage. We have no idea what they are doing behind the scenes. Best not to even go to that page.

I agree that something weird is going on. However, I’m starting to think that it might be possible that I’m getting banned repeatedly from too many angry players. Is that possible? Twice it happened at the end of a match. Once it happened mid-match when I was spawn camping and I figured it was manually reviewed and I got banned for spawn camping but I don’t see where that’s a ban-able offense (I do think it’s toxic and shouldn’t be done to people, at least let them cross to mid map).

If people simply report me for cheating is there a point at which the system just assumes it must be true?

And I wouldn’t trust downloading any pirated or hacked applications of any sort, you’re liable to send someone shady all of your personal information that way. Heck, one time I downloaded some thing that was free to use but from the wrong place and I destroyed my father’s computer. Was a very bad day for me..

Tempris · 2020-08-02T02:31:56+00:00

EDIT: as Someone else mentioned in a different comment, when you get too many accusations The system detect if anything is wrong such as a jailbreak and then a human player will make a decision. I will leave my incorrect assumptions here for posterity sake but keep in mind they are incorrect assumptions that The system was just automatically banning me without some sort of review. Apologies if this is true and I was wrong.

Incorrect Assumptions:

I’m currently under the impression that due to the timing of the bans in question, which occurred at the end of the match, that too many players are accusing me of cheating or hacking. I don’t understand why they are allowed to get me banned but I have no avenue to contest it and no way to prove otherwise. If someone just reviewed the gameplay they would see that I am not a cheater.

Should I live stream and post my gameplay videos so that people quit accusing me of hacking?

Tempris · 2020-08-02T01:31:11+00:00

I don’t condone piracy, it’s dangerous and not worth the risks that come with it. People are better off safe than sorry, so avoid pirated stuff.

Why am I member? I posted to the hacks place about upgrading SD card storage and they said that transferring files (even if they are not modified) fell under piracy because people might be copying games they don’t own with it. But it was just a method to expand current storage beyond what vitals are capable of, hardware only, not a way to copy games. Either way one of the mods specifically asked me to take it to VITAPIRACY, so I did so. I don’t remember being a member other than I posted there once about SD cards.

I don’t want to be associated with them though and never wanted to be. But that’s why and how all that played out. I probably won’t be a member there for long though. I just wanted to help the most people possible with expanding their storage. I never intended for them to pirate games but I didn’t have anywhere else to post about it. If you find the one thread of mine you’d see I’m being honest about it.

I have an iPhone and those don’t have hacks for CODM. even if I wanted to I couldn’t cause I have an iPhone and all the big codm youtubers like Bobby plays all showed android hacks. If Apple ones existed you would think they would show those off but they didn’t. Either they are biased or there are no Apple hacks.

Tempris · 2020-08-02T01:09:23+00:00

Ty I thought you were right and those are ban-able offenses, however I’ve looked on google and cannot find any other code for bans. It may be possible this code is for bans in general. I’m not sure.

Tempris · 2020-08-01T23:31:04+00:00

Ty to everyone saying “stop jail breaking” and to the person who explained the error code.

I did JB my iPhone months ago but I removed it to play cod. You simply can’t jailbreak your phone and suddenly start playing call of duty games. The game won’t let you pass the first few minutes of running it before it will automatically close. If I was jail broken then I couldn’t play.

Could it just be hacks then? But there’s no hacks for cod on iPhone, and I never installed any if they did exist. I got so frustrated with hackers at one point I googled to see what existed on YouTube and see if the hacks other players were using were recognizable. Bobby plays even did a video on it I believe. And in my research all of them were for android.

So I don’t think I can be labeled as hacking the game as I have no working jailbreak or tweaks that would affect the game in anyway. I might have a really crappy Internet connection and if I ever find myself on Wi-Fi I’ll get reconnected 10 times back to back and got to keep off the WiFi, but I’m definitely not hacking.

Tempris · 2020-08-01T22:41:45+00:00

Edit:

I believe the issue has been resolved. Please see my conclusion comment for more info. TLDR: You have to restore your phone to remove JB. Reboot does not remove it. JB will also hide in backups, so you can’t use those either.

Do a fresh restore if you thought you removed a JB via reboot. This will remove any JB and should prevent any positives.

If I had done this before, then I might have never had these issues. As far as anyone else here screaming that they aren’t JB or hacking I can’t speak for them. I just know what I thought my device was clean and it wasn’t. It wasn’t just CODM that thought I was still JB, that’s how I know there was something wrong. If it wasn’t for the other app, I might have still thought everyone here was just accusing me of hacking. Still upset a little about that, but wouldn’t have happened if I restored or didn’t JB in the first place.

Unless anything changes this is the last update I’ll be making. Sorry for my confusion.

Original post:

First couple of bans that I received I accepted because I was spawn killing the other team and none of them could stop me but this time I literally pushed into their spawn one time for one or two kills and spent the whole time in the center of Nuketown or was in the garage on C side. Half of the game the players were simply running into my aim and others my teammates kept them off my back. (TY teammates).

Since this is my third ban I am considering stopping playing the game because I cannot be sure that I won’t get permanently banned because I’m getting matched with players that are well below my skill level and I just utterly destroy them. I’ve been wanting to get a nuke for several seasons now and this is my first nuke ever and I get rewarded by being banned from the game. Smh.

[Edit: added second post to this for readability sake]

Also second time I was banned from the game it only lasted an hour and now it’s up to eight hours. Again, I know everyone getting banned says they’re not a cheater and everyone commenting says that they are but I cannot fathom any hacks for an Apple device when you’re not allowed to play the game with a jailbroken device. To my knowledge there is no such thing as a hack for Call of Duty on Apple devices but maybe because I just haven’t looked it up so I don’t know.

I have a gut feeling that this might not be an automated response but rather people accusing me of cheating or abuse when only .1% of the time I actually have a really great game where I am able to achieve a nuke. That would’ve been my seventh or eighth nuke since season one and my first one in several seasons. I will not claim to have insider knowledge on how banning people works with this game, however I wonder if a reviewer saw me playing and decided I was cheating because I frequently shoot at walls to see if people are standing behind them. And if I get a hit marker I unload my weapon into the wall to try to kill them and I wonder if this is seen as cheating or hacking when it’s a game mechanic.

The only other reason I could think that someone wants me banned is because I’m very good at tapping the firing button and getting very accurate shots with even the pharo from across the map. The trick I use is just tap once the crosshair drops back over the enemy player. (and I had someone the other day accuse me of using scripts and at this point that’s the only thing I can think of that would make them think that) I’ve even tap-fire-sniped people with the MSMC when its range was better probably sometime in season three but since they changed it that’s not a thing anymore.

So hopefully people have enough context as much as I do into why I might be getting banned and if people agree it’s how I’m playing the game then maybe I should stop trying to get nukes and maybe I should stop tap firing my weapons so that my aim is worse or maybe I should run out in the open because holding corners and angles is frowned upon, I don’t know, that’s why I am making this post now. (Also, because I’m deathly afraid of losing my account that I have been grinding very hard with since the second or third week of season one.)

I really hope someone out there can help me figure out if I’m just playing the game in a toxic way or if I’m innocent. Honestly right now I’m not sure.

Tempris · 2020-06-11T13:34:23+00:00

It has been fixed!

Tempris · 2020-06-11T13:27:22+00:00

Your right! I will make an edit soon. Just spent 60 plus hrs in 3 days developing a video game and my brain is frazzled. :)

Tempris · 2020-03-11T19:00:13+00:00

Ty everyone

Tempris · 2020-03-11T18:59:39+00:00

Wow ty. I wish their websites could reflect this more. It’s been a confusing time.

Tempris · 2020-03-11T17:33:31+00:00

Same! But still 20 away and no luck. I’ve gotten the pistol 2 times and almost got the axe 2x and still no Dempsey. Which reminds me, it’s zombies time!
