Hey, just wanted to say that I've also been trying to crack this for weeks and also found the method of shadowrocket(bought with gift card) + mobile proxy. I've tried both SIM card / no SIM card, but I'm still getting shadowbanned. (Zero views, unable to follow, able to like, able to view US content).
Questions:
1) How many views are you getting on your video right now? From my experience, anything below 1k views is still considered a soft type of shadowban as they've placed a limit on how far your content can be pushed.
2) Do you use email to create the account? Because I create my TikTok account with US Apple ID as it was what made it work for me in the past, at least better than email.
3) Also, which site are you getting your mobile proxy from? I suspect it could be the quality/stability of my mobile proxy, so I'm still testing out some options.
4) Do you connect to home wifi with the mobile proxy? Or connect to a second phone's hotspot with mobile proxy?
Or does anyone here know if it's possible for TikTok to recognize and ban the phone itself maybe via IMEI number or other methods like device fingerprint, even after factory reset?
