Understanding HWID ban/ shadow bans

Can someone answer this question? What have i done wrong?

I got banned on my hacking account. My Main Account was shadowbanned then. So my HWID got flagged. Because i wanted to play legit right now i deleted the game and some tracing files (used a batch for it i found in the forum of the hack i used)

So i created a new Bnet Account and acitivision account and of course it get shadow banned. then i started infinite and used the 40 mins trial but the game still doesn't find matches.

How du you guys delete tracing files?
Or was the mistake that i loged in once without Spoofer? But as far as i know this should net be problem or am i wrong?

Did you make a new account before using INFINITE or did you try using the same one?
Spoofers don’t remove shadow bans, they only bypass them on NEW accounts.

I created the account before using infinite. Then logged in once to check if it gets shadow banned. It got shadow banned. I logged off, started infinite and started the game again and still doesn't find any lobbies. I know they dont remove them but shouldnt it work then?

No.

You need to make an account and ONLY login with INFINITE.
If you login to an account on your existing HWID, it will shadow ban the account.

Thank you very much. So i have to wait 7-14 days now until the shadow ban gets removed, right? Then i will be able to play again even on my flagged HWID or do i need to play with Spoofer everytime now?

And also: Any good tipps for cleaning tracert files?

So I understand all the steps thanks for your time and effort answering and making it clear to all of us. I just have one more question. For instance I know if I spoof my pc my windows key will deactive as it is linked to my current HWID but what about the software I bought the license for like ms office (excel, word) and my adobe software will I still be able to use them or do I lose my access to them?

Everything becomes changed and disabled while you use the spoofer.
Once you restart your PC, it reverts back.

I've seen you say this quite a bit of times, and I don't disagree with you but any reason why?

I have like 5 accounts I rage on. You get like 5-6 games of high kills then you get shadowed for 7 days, I just swap accounts and by the time I go to the first the shadow ban is gone and I hack again for 5-6 games or whatever. As long as I'm spoofing I don't get shadowed instantly on a previously shadowed account, unless I'm misunderstanding you.

After season 2, they changed the way the anti-cheat works.
Now, if you get shadow banned, once it expires, the account gets marked with a cheater point.
The point basically escalates any unknown memory or reports against the account.
So, if you use a cheat = unknown memory, it system instantly flags you again.

Good to know. But then why would I be able to just go back and fourth between my accounts after the bans are over and just keep cheating? Unless that instant flag is not so instant, like I mentioned previously I can usually do 5 games +/- 2 before I'm usually shadowed if I'm raging, but I can just go back to that account in a week and do it again. I've been using the same 5 accounts to rage for a couple months now without problems.

So one last question: If i want to play WZ but never use cheats again what should i do beside of cleaning all traces, creating a new account...

1) force the shadow ban und wait 7-14 days till i can play on my flagged HWID again o

or

2) start using a spoofer from the the first login and play with it for a few weeks so that i can start playing today. Or does the account gets shadow banned after lets say 3 weeks of playing with spoofer and stop using it then?

If you’re not gonna cheat again, just make a new account and IF it gets shadow banned, wait 7-14 days and then once it expires, play normally.
