Messenger pro beginner's guide
Raw
Mpro_guide.md

Guide version: 1.1.1-sqrt3 (follows sqrt/loukious releases.)

1.1.3 is skipped as it doesn't bring anything new to the table. I do recommend 1.1.3 if you are updating from loukius's 1.1.1

THIS IS AN UNROOTED GUIDE, However this works on rooted devices - Added special root section now. **Please report your device in the comments if mrpo works on your device and the android version hasn't been added to the chart below

Frequently asked questions

Q: I can't open the settings.

A: Swipe up with two fingers. Or hold the Chats button. Otherwise refer to troubleshooting section.

Q: Is this stock or modded Facebook?

A: It's stock and I do not plan to patch it with mods nor add it into the guide. UNLESS there is high demand and the mod is open source. I will still provide stock Facebook.

Q: This closed source solution is way better, why won't you advertise it?

A: Messenger pro was always and always will be free and open source at it's core. Advertising closed source feels both unfair to the original author and it has much less debugging info.

Q: I need help, I can't install it?

A: Carefully read the guide, if you still can't it, reach out on mpro telegram (link on the end of the page in the troubleshooting section.)

Q: Pixeldrain is blocked in my country, what do I do?

A: Reach out on mpro telegram support group. I provide a mirror there.

Latest supported version can be updated to 462. On 463 and above it makes the app freeze and crash, so the module is on borrowed time and may need to be updated in the future once support for 462 is dropped server-side.

@n1cKz1 please share the exact version of 462 or the link to apk. Which android version are you using? Rooted or unrooted?

Hey @misterpyrrhuloxia thank you for the feedback! I only keep a simple guide due to how much people were struggling, glad to see it works for you!
@n1cKz1 I will not update the guide untill major changes come out or the app stops working, this is due to two major things

  1. I don't sign the Mpro app, this is done by either of the fork devs - sqrt and loukius
  2. The mod works as-is and latest fully tested is 449 but its signed by loukius, I prefer to stay on sqrt for now so people don't have to reinstall mpro every time they want to do a minor update, hope you understand :D

@Terrariadlc , lot of things are not working like some messages are being shown as "available in the latest app" and other features. Could you please ask the devs to update messenger version to latest?

I downloaded the prepatched version and searching for chats is not working. It will just redirect you to the latest chat box.

@Pocarai There isn't any need. Core features still work fine and I haven't heard from the devs (as work isn't needed)

I keep needing to verify my login which I do but I'm still stuck on the verification screen. I tried logging in prior to installing mpro and after installing mpro and still have the same issue.
Edit: I was able to get in finally. Had to disable 2FA

For the life of me I am unable to launch the pro settings. I've held the black bar at the top. Nothing happens. I've clicked the regular menu icon but can only get the regular settings to show up. When I click the regular settings there is an icon that shows up allowing me to choose bubbles or chat headings. I'm unsure if that is a native feature as I have never seen it before in regular messengers. I've tried swiping. Nothing is working

Really? Then thats strange. I redownloaded the prepatched messenger and messengerpro but the features still seem to not work.

Edit: okay, made it work again. You just have to do the manual method instead.

How did you get the GUI to show up?

Just used the MRVPatch manager and did the manual method thats shown here in the guide.

Also, on the "being stuck on the verification screen" part i make use of the MRVPatch Manager manual facebook version to automatically log me in. Since ive logged in on facebook and messenger picks up the account i logged in on it.

I also used to manual method with the MRVPatched manager. What are you pressing to get the UI to show up? I press and hold the bar by where it says chat and nothing happens. Are the features such as hidden read check mark and others automatically active? Just in case I'm unable to get the settings to pop up.

Also, when you patch the facebook app which version do you patch? Can it be a higher version? Or do you use the facebook app included in the link to patch?

I used the default patcher for facebook.

Usually, if messenger pro is working from the start it will immediately pop a message once you open up messenger that is something along the lines but not exactly "found update for messenger pro".

Also, the default UI show up is either the menu long press or swipe up with 2 fingers. If you cant seem to open up the ui another way to know messenger pro is working is to use the /code feature

What exactly do you mean by /code feature? Where do I type this?

I patched the facebook app and it was working fine. I also un-installed facebook just to see if the molded facebook app I had would install and it did so I'm using that now as it has a few added features. I can link it if you are interested. I found it on reddit. This is completely irrelevant to the issue I'm having with the messenger pro not working btw. Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks I figured it out. I hadn't installed mPro. I thought you only had to install it if you downloaded and installed the pre-patched app. It's all working now. Thanks

Welp, it has been a good run. The app is now deprecated and cannot make calls now. Thank you for the effort of extending the life of MessengerPro. Until next update! (if there is one in the foreseeable future)
