ok i have a viewsonic G-tablet rooted and has a custom rom. yesterday i decided to play with the other roms to see what i like best. at this point everything was working fine (market,gmail,etc). i reset the tablet to get to recovery and backup my rom. this is were everything goes wrong, recovery wass gone just gone. i tried reinstalling and still got nothing, found out the bootloader somehow got erased (but yet would still boot android, dont know how the [email protected] that works) so i boot up my linux machine and load on Vzflash and restored it to stock tnt, rerooted and installed VEGAn. i went to the accounts and sync settings to add my google account and after putting in my info it hangs for 3 minutes then says that i do not have a reliable data connection (but i do i was just using the browser and rom manager) i tried resetting the gapps, reinstall them, reflash the rom, wipe system data, wipe cache, wipe delvik, (iv done so much wiping the store is out of paper lol). i have also tried logging in with just the youtube app and while it did when i tried to use market i got the same error from when i tried to log in with the sync menu. i have also tried logging in the initial setup screen with no luck. i have been searching the internet for 2 days and have tried everything. WTF DO I DO!?!?!?!
did my device get banned from google or something. i have never done anything illegal with my android devices and all ways pay for my apps. i only root so i can get access to my cpu and with the gtab to get to the market.
this happened to me before with my G1 and fixed itself in a day but htis seems different.
i also edited my google account from my computer to allow multiple sign-ins.
i aslo F reset my phone to see if its just google or my account and it signed in just fine the first time.
has anyone else experienced this? BTW im in rochester ny

Thanks for the quick responce. I did fix everything but the sign In Stuff, I'm at work now but will try the first links solution when I get home. Sorry for posting about it but like I said I have been searching for 2 days, mostly on xda with no luck or even an answer like in the first link. If that fixes it ill take down the thread.

thank you the first link worked right away
I can log into my google account, but the only device associated with the account is my droid. How do I add my Gtab to the account as well?
For example if I want to download the Tegra 2 app from the Nvidia website, you log in with google accounts. Then it asks which device I want to download it to. Right now it only shows my droid as an option.
So I've rooted and flashed my Charge to Humble 1.4. Seems like a pretty nice ROM, but for some reason when I go to add an event to the calendar, I don't see a calendar dropdown to use.
Anyone have any idea what I can do? I did wipe cache and Davlik I did not Wipe data however and the Flash seemed to go just fine.
Bump... Any one have ideas why I can't enter an entry into my calendar on Humble 1.4?
I am not sure but u can try to reflash the ROM...the calendar is there in the app list
I had the same problem. I booted into recovery, did a factory reset/data wipe, cleared cache/dalvik cache, and put 1.4 back onto the phone via odin, not the recovery. Now, my calendar syncs correctly and no more force closes when trying to pick a different calendar.
the developer is aware that there is a problem sometimes with the calendar and he stated he is releasing HUMBLE 1.4.1 on Friday to fix this issue!
Hi i'm having a problemo here with adding an exchange server to eagleblood
eagleblood 1.9 is giving me "The application Email (process com.android.email) has stopped unexpectedly." Strangley enough it finds the server and connects fine when i go to set it up, its when i get to the last screen of the set up and click next when it errors.
I've tried quite a bit of stuff. clearing cache of email app, clearing data, cache, dalvik, reformating, re-flashing. clearing out all my email (i just archived then moved the archive from outlook folder) said never get emails (rather than auto (push)).....
Pretty big fan of this rom, but this is a show stopper, anyone else have this issue?
restore your last rom and back up the email app with data, then flash EB 1.09 and restore the email with data.
The other guys is harder, restart, do a full wipe, install rom, then gapps(u must have these or won't be as awesome as it supost to), then the Trinity kernal, then reboot, everything will work and will be alot faster

ok well i've already done all of cwa 542 recomendations, those are the steps i follwed in first place. First i will try that again, then if no luck i will flash back to my backup of my stock and then data that (not entirely sure how to do that lol).
Do i need to flash the kernal? i thought it came built into eb 1.9?
what i've been doing:
wiping cache, delvik, system, data
flashing eb 1.9, latest gaaps..then booting.
I think this time i will try booting in before gaaps, then trying emial, then gaaps. lol
I will keep posted. thanks alot you guys big help.
*edit
So i tried again, all the proper steps no luck. What is the easiest way to backup an app?
now i come crawling back to your idea lol.
I'm pretty new to this...but i do program : )
Should i use titanium, or is there something better? any way i can do this non-3rd party. if not which is best i hear alot about titanium.
titainum is probably the best That is what I use and I have moved data and apps from all different roms with no problem using it.
ok I may try later tonight. in the mean time i flashed xboarders, which is great on battery. If i could be convinced that eaglesblood 1.9 was as good as bloated stock i would do it, but it appeared worse to me for the maybe 2.5 hours i had it installed and was browsing ect. it went from 100 to 63...still i will probably do it b/c the speeds are awesome.
wish i could flash xboarders with trinity kernal, thatd be sweet.
I am having a problem with switching ROMs on my sensation which just started a few days ago. I am currently running ARHD 3.1.1 and it is very stable and I have had no problems whatsoever, but like many here, I like trying out different and new ROMs. Anyways, I did a backup and installed ARHD 3.6.2, and it was forcing close on several apps, and kept getting soft reboots, so I tried RCMix's, and it would load and automatically install some apps and settings that I had on my previous ROM, and it was working fine, but then I started getting soft reboots when I would open any app, so I tried about 2 other ROMs (S3n5eay/Pyramid3D) and same thing, so being fed up I restored my backup and then I began to have superuser problems, so I unistalled updates, cleared data, and still was unable to gain root access. I kept clearing data, installed superuser 2.3.6 then 3.02 and finally got root again, but everytime I reboot I lose root. I then again tried different ROMs, and same thing is happening. I have used superwipe script, ARHD's wipe script, P3D wipe script, formated from CWM, and no matter what, I am still unable to keep a new ROM and keep losing root with my backup. I'm sorry for a long post, but can anyone please help me figure this out. I have upgraded ROMs many a times in the past on this phone and others, and have never experienced these problems, so can someone please help me.
I kinda had the same problem with you, with that being root was the problem. But the ROM's are pre-rooted so that shouldn't be a problem. Try to flash the root file again, until it is succesfull flashed.
Thanks. I'll go ahead and try that.

Geez, that sounds horrible, man. It never ceases to surprise me how different every one of these seemingly identical devices are.

Well for the most part everyone downloads different software. For that just one of the factors that make us all somewhat "different" this is why everyone has some sort of problems here and there.
Most times a fix can be a reboot or reinstall of the app. Even clearing of caches helps because of data conflicts on the phone. Especially when someone like me that flashes different ROMS, that's why nandroids and backups are key so that if you fudge up your phone, you can always revert back to your nandroid.
And for all the people who are trying to revert back to their nandroid after flashing a different rom, you need to use the wipe data scripts in ARHD or Coredroid to reformat the ext4 before reverting your nandroid. Just a FYI.
All I know is that wiping everything before flashing a new ROM does not guarantee that you won't get FCs and soft reboots.
For example, I did a factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, and then did superwipe (yes I know redundant), and then flashed a ROM and I thought nothing could go wrong. Then while setting up I went ahead and setup my google account during the setup process, and once I was finished I began restoring my apps+data from Titanium Backup. While that was happening Market started auto-reinstalling my apps, and this instantly conflicted with the fact that I was doing the same thing from TB. It caused a few of my apps to FC all the time. So make sure you skip adding your google account during setup.
You can also get stuff to go haywire if you restore system data from TB. Doing so will conflict with the ROM and cause FCs and reboots. For example, I didn't know how to easily back up texts and contacts for a while, and I would go in to TB and restore everything that said something like mms, messages, texts, messages widget, etc. and doing so actually caused my messages to go haywire. Same thing with contacts. The only things you should be restoring from TB are your user apps+data. As already noted, you should also superwipe before restoring a nandroid because it is exactly like flashing a new ROM. If you're on a ROM you just flashed that has 1 version of superuser, and then you go straight into recovery and restore a nandroid without wiping everything first (and has a different version of superuser), you're going to get issues with superuser.
The rule of thumb when it comes to avoiding FCs and reboots is to avoid letting data conflict. Don't mix ROM data, don't mix app data, don't restore system settings from your old ROM on your new one, etc.
Believe me, I have attempted everything without any success. I guess I'm going to stay on my current ROM until I get the time to deal with all of this, and hoping that for whatever reason I don't have to reboot my phone, or that it randomly reboots in order not to deal with the problems. I have always wiped going/coming from different ROMs, but have never experienced this before, and it is very frustrating especially when I like to try different developers mods. I'll keep attempting to try to figure this out, and if I find a solution, I will update.

Keep trying different ROMs and different strategies of when you wipe/restore stuff. It's quite interesting that theoretically identical phones can have different responses to the exact same actions. 2 people can install a ROM in the exact same way and for 1 it will work, the other it won't. You just gotta work it out until you figure out how to manage your particular issues.
Yeah, I hear you. It's just very frustrating when in the past I have switched ROMs on all the phones that I have ever owned without any problems until now. But I'll try different methods and see what happens. I appreciate everyones input. Thanks. Oh, and if anybody has any other suggestions, please, share.
Ok, I was able to get Pyramid3D v0.8.0 working so far. I flashed with superwipe about 3 times then installed the ROM. I did not sign into my account, and installed my apps from titanium first, and then signed in. I got several reboots with setcpu so I unistalled it. I also get a few market fcs. Now the problem that I have is that I installed the 4EXT recovery and my phone is unable to play my music files through any of the music players. I am able to open them with astro, but not music player. But I guess I'll try to figure this one out now. Thanks for the advice.

Good post. I didn't realize I should be doing so much wiping even before restoring a backup.
Incidentally, I'm kicking myself now, but in the excitement of flashing my first custom ROM, I forgot to backup my original system. Doh. It's the only time I haven't backed up before changing ROMs, but that's arguably the most important backup to make.
Evening everyone-
Having some issues I am hoping someone can help me with.
I have a rooted ATT HOX on 1.85 that is having some major problems. I started this morning by trying to flash the Magnolia ROM after being on one of the Cleanroms.
I guess the download was corrupt and I received an error while flashing in CWM and was then stuck in a boot loop. I did the whole RUU deal going back and was able to get back on 1.85, root with super user, etc. but once I got back into the phone to setup I noticed that none of my contacts were syncing after signing in. After playing around a few more minutes I noticed the Messaging would crash after being open for a few seconds with no Force Close warning. Occasionally I could go into a text but after trying to respond or type anything it would revert back to the previous page.
Contacts is a complete no go. As soon as the app is opened it crashes. Same with phone. Absolutely can't use any of the three core apps.
I then tried flashing a variety of the roms and even using the different recoveries and have had absolutley no luck getting the Phone, Messaging or Contacts to work on anything. Even stock RUU 1.85! The only thing I have had luck with is the AOKP port which is working ok minus the phone audio being botched.
Any hope here? Any idea what the deal is?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
Do a full wipe and install the ROM.. this should take care of it
I am also having this problem. I tried doing factory restore from TWRP 2.1.8 multiple times. Re-locked the phone and reinstall RUU 1.85 and still have issues.
Can you explain further what you mean by full wipe?

I think I figure out how to fix our problem. I was on re-lock status and stock RUU 1.85. I proceed to unlock the bootloader, flash cwm, go into advance, and select fix permissions. I also wipe everything while I am here. After reboot, I am able to set up e-mails and sync contacts and make calls again.
Hopefully, the same will work for you too.

In recovery, wipe data, cache and Dalvik.
Thanks for the responses. To be honest I did factory resets and wipes about 15 times in total...between all the various available roms, the factory 1.85 and a combination of anything I could imagine. Nothing-and I mean nothing-would work. Finally I put it as close to stock as possible and brought it back for a swap. I couldn't find anything at all to help rectify the situation or any info on what in the world may have caused it.
To those of you stuck-good luck! Sounds like it was only a handful that experienced it...hope you get it sorted. Would love to find out why it happened though!
Best of luck!!!
did anyone ever figure out the problem and how to fix this? ive been screwing around for an hour just clearing the data from anything related to contacts or google sync, and even people and still can't get my contacts to sync.. everything else syncs fine my calendar, drive, etc. just not contacts!! grr... any help would be much appreciated. if i figure it out and know how i did it i'll post so others don't waste as much time as i have.
edit: it all started when i tried to flash clean rom using CWM (it said not to but i missed that part lol).. so i ended up having to relock my bootloader, unlocked it again, flashed 1.85 RUU and then finally i was able to boot my phone past the HTC screen.. after that i booted into TWRP and flashed cleanrom. that is when i noticed contacts won't sync, phone book, sms etc. just close when i open them..
tried everything suggested in this thread and still no luck
current status: I decided to flash CWM again, and restored a nandroid backup i had from a while back.. which is a stock rogers rom. contacts r syncing fine.. question is. when i flash to cleanrom 4.0 again will it break the contacts sync again? i sure hope not.. we'll find out tomorrow lol sleep time!
ok so installed cleanrom 4.1 again today and all is working well..
i guess the solution is:
* somehow obtain a stock rogers or att rom (1.85 ruu should work for most)
* once thats installed use fastboot to flash CWM or TWRP
* boot into recovery
* clear cache, dalvik cache, factory reset / clear data
* install custom rom (in my case cleanrom 4.1)
* Reboot phone and check if ur contacts r syncing properly
such a messed up problem hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into it..
