[Q] Question on d2g, unable to add/create google account - Droid 2 Global General

I am from Malaysia. Just received my d2g i purchase from ebay. I managed to unlock and use local GSM network, NOT VERIZON!
i am unable to add google account. If i sign in an existing google account i have, it shows "user name and password doesn't match", i can log in fine from any pc. And im also unable to create new google account from the phone.
I had searching for weeks on a solution on this, but unable to solve it.

try to wipe data/cach it might help.

I did a few master reset. it wipe all data on the phone but still same issue.
attached is the image i just took after trying again. but this time it say "cant establish a reliable data connection to the server"
i wander if its control by verizon. means we must use it service in order to used the full function of the phone?
by the way, i am running on Android 2.2 Version.2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.US

Have you tried changing the Google account password from your PC (making sure it doesn't have any non-ASCII characters like diacritical stuff &c.) and trying again with that new one?
Verizon has nothing to do with Google services.

Hi mate. Im using same account and password that im using on motorola defy. DEFY is singapore model which seems to be working fine. That's why i am thinking, maybe verizon did special program on all d2g to stop people like me simply getting the phone but doesn't used the services.

This means they chose to do a “special program” for just one single D2G — yours.
I use my D2G on GSM and I have never had any issues adding my Google account.

Help regarding SWTOR authenticator.

I tried backing up the swtor authenticator via titanium backup before flashing upgrade for rom..
After upgrade and restore of this app it seems the app crashes inside, deleting data is a no go, need this app restored to its fullest..
Any way it might be the secured partition for critical apps like this to be restored?
If so, how would i restore an older backup of that partition to a newer version.
I might add that im running virtuous 1.3.0 and want to upgrade to the 1.4.0.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Out of interest, why not just redownload/install the app after you have upgraded?

Thanks for replying!
Well the thing is that the application is bound to my account on swtor.com and the data stored is neccesary for the application to authenticate correctly, as it contains randomly generated login codes for my account.
Reinstalling the application means i have to bind it to the account once again, and thats not possible if you already have, now the tricky part, if you want to deattach an authenticator you need to contact their customer support (EA), and that can take up to 7 days to get any kind of help.
Now i want to take the easy way of just backing up everything neccesary for the application so that i may upgrade roms without being afraid of loosing the account access..
I don't think you will have any choice but to call EA and get them some help, I have tried this with the Google and Blizzard 2 factor auth apps and I have had to redo it every time, normally though you have special codes you can use in cases like this, google will also send you a text as an alternate way of authenticating.
The same problem here... got new phone and can't use mobile security key on the new one :/

That's a security thing, if you could it would defeat the entire purpose of having it, download and install it fresh ans set it up again

Clearly you haven't worked with Blizzard's version of this concept. They set their app up to allow a special set of codes to be generated just for this purpose, so you could wipe a device, start over, install their app, plug in those codes, and you're golden.
I already went through this nonsense with this app and had to call support to have it removed from my account, at which point they inform you that you will no longer be able to use a security key with your account. This, my friends, is what you call a MAJOR FAIL.
If I had more time to play with it, I would have started searching around on the phone for additional files that might have accompanied the app. I definitely tried the Titanium thing, but to no avail. They have got to be using some sort of key file, like RSA or something, but without knowing the details we won't be able to backup and restore this thing.
My recommendation is this. If you have the time, patience, and ability to search and have an idea of what you are looking for, see if you can solve this problem yourself and share your findings with the community. Otherwise, call support, abandon the app, and give the mental middle-finger to EA for their fail.

Interestingly enough the same company mad both blizzards and swtors security apps. Personally I wish I knew what I am looking for but I have been unable to find any additional file that will make it work.
Some other things to note is I saved the Serial number and Auth. Code that bioware gave me and after I learned that titanium backup would not work I pulled out my galaxy tab 10.1 and installed the app and reused the info to no avail.
Any help with this would be much appreciated! Thanks!
I read multiple threads at swtor.com and at the moment the only possibility is removing the sercurity key via the phone-customer-support.
So, no news on this front.
Does someone have news regarding this problem? Do we still have to call customer support?

For WoW when I had an issue, Flashed a ROM without realising the world of pain I'd entered. I had to go through Customer Support, they even wanted a photo document (driving License or Passport). Eventually it got removed.
After that I ran the authenticator on my older Android phone.
Your best bet is to nandroid restore to the original, de-link the authenticator, then install the new ROM and authenticator. Then re-link the new authenticator codes.
Eventually I gave up and just removed the authenticator from WoW, life is too short already.

That's the problem, with SWTOR's Security Key you CAN NOT add a new "digitial security key" once you've already had one attached. Their current solution is for you to buy a physical key, once they remove the digital one.
Yesterday i switch to another ROM, and when i reinstall SWTOR Security Key, it asked me for a serial number and activation code. I tried to restore app with Titanium Backup and other similar apps with no luck. Then i opened a ticket to swtor support team, and they respond me that i need to call customer support. After a 12 min conversation, and asking at 2 security questions they remove security key from my account.
After that, in my account i still have the option to attach a security key again. But i will attach it only when they will add a option to remove that security key from account manager.

If you flash roms often you should invest in mauth in the market its like 3$ I think but it lets you back up you wow auth. online and restore it to any android device. also I think you can backup the blizzard one with titanium back up and it will still work.
Delance; on swtor forum said:
before u upgrade, run the Restore feature in the app, you'll get a serial number and a restore code.
Write that down.
Then, when u get the new phone, you can use the restore feature again, enter in the serial # and restore code, and it will work for your account again.

There is no solution at that link. Read to the end--there is simply no "restore" feature associated with this app, and the current and only way to handle a ROM switch is to call Customer Support and have them remove it from the account...every single time. If there is something to back up, it's probably an encrypted file that cannot simply be restored, especially if the thing truly is secure. That's the whole point of an authenticator--security.
I just ran into this issue. I'm about to have to call Customer Support to remove it. I'm replying to say that after this B.S. I'm going to get the physical key. I was being cheap, but I preferred the physical key for WoW anyway, due to not having to find my phone, hope it wasn't dead, and deal with the constant crashes on the SWTOR android app. So basically, unlink the key, then buy a physical one if you want a security key still.
Removed!
In this link, if you already log-in, you can remove all security keys:

Hi, if you installed the wrong google apps, that could be a problem. if you understand what i mean? You need to get the google apps for specific Roms if you have a custom rom. Search on xda forum for them. Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 :good:

Recovering photos off a VZW Galaxy S6 G920VVRU4BOG9...is it possible yet?

My 7 week old Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 G920VVRU4BOG9, android version 5.1.1. died yesterday for reasons unknown. It is now back on but has been wiped clean. I had to do what I believe is called a hard reset. I don’t care about anything else on this phone but I’m desperate to get back the pictures and videos. By any chance is it possible yet to recover deleted photos off of a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 (G920VVRU4BOG9)? I've been reading about it since yesterday and everything tells me I must root my phone; however, it looks like from what I am reading, even if I wanted to, I canNOT root my particular Verizon S6 model. None of the android data recovery tools appear to work without 1st rooting my phone.
I stupidly do not have a backup of my phone as I believed the VZW cloud was backing up all my data. It did not save my pictures/videos, only my contacts. Samsung tech support was worthless. I’ve disconnected the WIFI and have done almost nothing on the cell today except exchange a few necessary text messages and phone calls. I don’t want to chance overwriting anything if it can somehow be retrieved/salvaged.
I’ve tried Wondershare Dr Fone for Android, Asoftech Data Recovery, Kvisoft Data Recovery, Ease US data recovery. None have worked. Again, from what I’ve been reading, a rooted phone appears to be required in order to locate that lost data using recovery software. The problem seems to be VZW.
Anyhow, I appreciate anyone’s 2cents. If you happen to know of any Geek Squad-like, paid for services, I’m willing to pay someone to get these picture and videos back. Thank you so much for your time!
Did you have Google or Samsung or any other backup turned on?
Yes, I would check Google for a backup of your pictures. I'm assuming no Dropbox account.

I have a Samsung account so I can use the "find my phone" option in case of a lost or stolen phone. I asked them if they offer any cloud backup and the rep told me NO.
I do have a Google account and Google Drive as well. I couldn't find any of my pictures there though. I really appreciate your response though. Thank you!

Try changing your search parameters in Google Play....seems I recall a co-worker having a similar issue that he was able to partially resolve using apps that were specifically for Picture recovery. If that doesn't work, you are to the "find someone who can pull stuff off flash memory" stage.

I would install es file explorer on it and just go thru all the folders you can find. Even though you aren't rooted you can still copy files should you happen to find them or cache versions of them. You can copy you just can't modify or write to the system folders and such. I used this just yesterday to copy the launcher apk of my Moto Maxx 2 so I could copy out the stock wallpapers. Haha. Good luck.

OEM Unlock HardCode?

Hi all,
I have bought Moto G3 XT1540 on AMAZON a couple of months ago
User (my nephew) forgot his pattern on the phone. Then he decided to wipe the phone thinking it was going to solve the issue. Unfortunately it is asking for Google account verification. Again, he does not know it.
I tried to flash the phone following steps on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Everything is OK, but we need to check "OEM Unlock" on Android developer settings, which of course i cannot do since i cannot access the phone.
Is there any way to hard-code this or do something?
Regards,
First reset the password of the Google account. You can do this from any webbrowser. Google offers several ways to reset a password. E.g. via mail, SMS...
Not being able to revocer your own Google Account is pretty much impossible unless you deliberately setup the account in a way that in cannot be recovered. ?
Then you have to wait for 72 hours. After that the Moto G3 will accept the new password of the Google account.
Thanks for your prompt reply.
It is not working :s

If you are the registered owner (ie. have a receipt w/matching IMEI or serial number, or purchased direct from Moto under your Moto account), you should be able to send it in to Motorola to have it "repaired".
Thanks for your reply. I guess we will have to do that.
I thought I could just fix it at home.

Security and protection methods are far better than they used to be in Android, the intent is to keep the phone's data secure or prevent it from using your service or removing any gain (ie. sell it) from someone else, they are near impossible to circumvent in recent Android versions. To my knowledge no user here knows how, or are will share it if they do know, that is why I say "near impossible", the method is intended to be as close to foolproof as possible.
The only option that could possibly be available to try is to reflash the factory firmware from scratch via fastboot, but you must have the matching or newer factory image. There are potential risks, but it is the only other option. I know the Marshmallow 1GB images are available, and the lollipop 1GB&2GB images, but there is no Marshmallow 2GB image for the XT1540 at this time.
Also, I don't know if that will work or not, but it is the only other option in your power... note there is a potential risk of bricking the device if done incorrectly or the wrong fimware image is used, but it may be your only choice for self-repair at this point.
Your Google account, especially when tied to devices, is probably more valuable than the device itself and should be treated that way. I hope the "kid" at learns a lesson here.

Every time I install a new rom or do a factory reset it looks like I've been hacked

As the title say time I install a new rom or do a factory reset it looks like I've been hacked. As soon as I register and connect my phone to the internet google security activity shows that my phone has been connected from Irland or Germany although I'm connecting from Sweden. How can this be explained if I'm not being hacked? I take all the security measures, changing password etc... But yet this problem doesn't go away. Does this happen to anyone else?
give us more detail
did happen only with one device or more? what do u use for root, wich rom, custom recovery do u install? wich kind of gapps do u use? it happen just when u install the rom/recovery, or when u set up the gapps?
the foreign connection message is inside the gmail account? do u see foreign ip address logged when u are not logged or just foreign ip when u are logged? (this question is because maybe something use a vpn)
I use Viperone rom, but it does't matter what rom I use. As soon as i logg in to my google account it happens, on the google security activity where I can see my devices, it shows that I logged in from Irland or Germany, and after that it goes back to show that I logged in from Sweden. So far I noticed that it only happens on my phone, but in the past it use to happen on my PC too, and it does not show the ip address, it only shows the name of the country. This is how it looks like: http://imgur.com/2A9ZBJy Tyskland is Germany in Swedish and it's not supposed to be there with Irland.

when u install rom and configure gapps r u using your wifi? because is strange it happens also with your pc, maybe the problem is in your LAN, it happens just after the gapps setup after a fresh install or also later?
do u ose official gapps (and where is the source) or do u use other kind of gapps?
The roms that I use has allready Google apps installed. This time it happened right after I logged in to my phone. In the past it happened a day later.
It's possible that the new rom had it's location history set to those locations.. And Google apps like a good little app is telling where your are...
But it's wrong until it gets a proper location update.

Nope. I'm definitely being hacked. Everything points towards it. I change my password I format my PC I install the original android to my phone, same **** happens. It was not like this before.
There is a trojan that can not be found by virus, malware and trojan software. This bastard got me. I think it could be the government.
Now it looks like this,I got USA instead of Germay http://imgur.com/uYDxZ1j Am i being hacked or not? 6th februari is the day i changed my password, compare it with the first picture i posted.
make 2 new google account with your pc
wipe your phone and install a rom, than configure it with one new account
use it for a day
than with your pc go in both account and see if are both comprimised or not
Let's assume the worst thing, that I am being hacked. How can I stop this from happening? I already changed password (I'm doing that from time to time), I use 2 step verification and sms verification when I login to my Gmail and I got virus, malware and firewall softwares, what else can I do? How am I being hacked?

Maybe not on this forum, but there are other forums.
What rom are you using? Where did you get it?
What email app are you using?
Who is your internet provider for your device?
All of these can be factors in you being hacked...
Your rom could have a Trojan on it.
Your email could be not properly storing your password.
(Your not using the factory email app that uses the account your signed info your phone with are you? Please say no)
Is your internet provider known for making a federal case out of every request for information or do they give it out to anyone with a badge?
More information is needed before you can be helped.
First off change roms...
If you are using a oem rom get a custom rom from a popular developer.
Then change email providers
(Unless you are taking Google)
Then dump the two factor crap
Get a third party open source email app or use tor to sign in by web mail.
Change and set your password from a cafe or hotel Wi-Fi that is nowhere where you usually go.
Then see if you think you are being hacked..
If so trash the phone
Get a new one with cash..
Root it secure it
Try again
And if that still looks bad..
User paper and one time pads for encryption and safe drop points.
