unable to login to google account help!!

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

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.

Unable to download anything through android market?

I get some crap about google talk, which I dont even know what that is Ive never used it
whenever I try to download an app it says "app name" could not be downloaded due to an error.
how the heck do I fix this

Have you unbricked your phone recently? Have you tried clearing data in the market?

Give us more history - have you done anything major with your phone recently?
For example, cruft remaining in /sdcard after a return to stock using the "ultimate unbrick" approach can cause the market to go nuts unless you do a factory wipe in Settings.

did a factory reset that seemed to have fixed it, the lousy serendipity rom screwed up the phone royally

There are a handful of people running that rom without any issue...
unfortunately you failed to provide any real details of what was going on, so it was impossible to give you any help
I have had some issues with google authentication...it usually happens when one fails to wipe everything before installing a new rom or by restoring system data with tb.
Typically it can be solved by clearing cache for google framework services , rebooting and then logging into youtube.
So, by factory reset...you are still on Serendipity then right? A factory reset deletes user data, not the rom.

I am currently running Serendipity, no Market issues.

[Q] Some apps not saving preferences

I recently was playing with one of those bloatware freezing apps. I froze only the obvious ones like buddies now etc. Something happened though. After I was done the icon tray was gone, and the home buton did'nt work at all. The phone was basically a brick because I couldn't get to any apps. So I did a factory restore. It did it and some of the apps were still there but crashed. So I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it back through market.
Now things kind of work but everytime I load some apps I get messages like it was installed for the first time even if I ran them before. None of the preferences are saved. If I leave them in RAM they remember but if I go to the task manager and flush RAM when I restart all preferences are gone again. Nothing is being written or saved to the system like it should be. The theme chooser in Astro file manager doesn't work at all.
What the hell is going on and how can I fix it? I am using the stock ROM and rooted.

dave,
if a factory reset didn't fix your problem,
you will have to flash your phone back to stock.
you can use gtg's ultimate unbrick - stock froyo
h8rift root and 3e recovery - stock froyo, rooted with 3e recovery or
adam outler's heimdall one click to gb leak, uckj4 stock.
you can find these in the dev superthread or some of my quick links

Hi,
Sorry I screwed that up. I couldn't get into the interface to do a factory reset. So what i did was flash back to stock with odin. After I did that the apps were still there but many didn't work. I uninstalled them and re-installed and they worked as stated with glitches.
Maybe I needed to flash to stock then do a factory reset to clean things up?

yeah, if you wanted to clean up everything, do a factory reset. Take off all the files and pictures you want from the phone including your micro sd card if you gave one.
Go to settings. Privacy. Factory reset.
Put phone into download mode.
Use gtg's ultimate unbrick if you want to go back to stock froyo. Then do the ota update.

Continuous Crashes

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..

Flash the stock tar.md5 from here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=scH-i535
Whatever you flashed put a custom kernel on there, and that's why you get that message.

I have tried to odin stock and then wipe. still showing no data connection, and same thing when I put my wifes sim in. IM thinkiing it has something to do with the dual boot i had set up before. is there a way to repartion the internal sd card or emmc?

This seems to be happening to a lot of people flashing AOSP ROMs....this is why they warn you they are not responsible for what happens to your phone...especially with Betas.
There are many threads on this and several on how to get a workaround until someone figures out how to fix this.
Try doing a search on losing IMEI or roaming after flashing CM10...it is happening a lot...that is why I am just using rooted stock with VZW apps and TW frozen.

this problem I was having with no data or radio in CM10.
I used ODIN to go back to stock rooted (root 66).
When I did that I was boot looping in the puking rainbows 4GLTE boot animation.
I eventually figured out how to fix that by booting into recovery (press volume up, home button, and power button at the same time till phone boots). I then did a wipe data/factory reset.
My phone then booted fine into stock root.
I then proceeded to punch in *2767*3855# into my dialer immediately when I got stock root working. That did some sort of a factory reset / format. It all happened so quick I could barely read what it told me. The phone rebooted after a while.
I then downloaded EZ-Recovery for VZW Galaxy S3 app from the Play store.
I installed the custom recovery from Dhacker's CM10 post over on the droidhive forums using EZ recovery.
I also downloaded the CM10 file to flash and the Jelly Bean Google Apps file.
Rebooted into recovery, Wiped data/cache/dalvik.
Installed the CM10 file.
Installed the Jelly Bean apps.
Reboot.
Profit.
I now have a largely functional CM10 (as far as I can tell there are some camera issues). Data 3G/4G is working, so are calls and text and everything is dandy.

Did the *27 bla bla thing posted above and back to normal. Thanks everyone
