[Q] Unable to Connect to my Google Account

After Hard Resetting my Motorola Atrix 2, when i tried to connect to google account, I am getting an error message saying - Can't establish a reliable data connection.....
Below is the whole description of the problem....
4 days ago I updated my Motorola Atrix 2 with the Update. The Update downloads successfully but after rebooting I got a message saying "Update Failed".
I tried updating again but received the same error.
And 2 days after this updation process I noticed that I am unable to sign into my Google Account. None of the Google Application was opened. All I see the Window with Loading Symbol and nothing else. Neither Android Market, Nor Gmail or Youtube works. All stopped working at once.
I than searched the Internet and find some solutions saying that you need to hard reset your phone.
I did that also, I used both the method for hard resettig, i.e. 3 button method as well as Factory Reset option, but it didn't solve my problem at all.
In fact now at starting of the phone when i tried to connect to my google account, an error comes saying - " Can't Establish a Reliable Data Connection "
I had searched your forums also and find a similar thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780545
But trying all the method given in this thread I am still unable to connect to my google account.
Kindly Help me......... Thanx in Advance

Go to Settings -> About Phone and see, are you on 2.3.5 or 2.3.6?
If you're on 2.3.5 then you can manually update through Recovery. If you're on 2.3.6 then you might want to try flashing the fxz and then manually updating through Recovery.

You might double check your apns, Might try pulling your sim and battery for about 10 or 15 min to clear your location, you should register and connect to the nearest tower after boot up. I had that issue once and it was actually the market causing the problem. Make sure it's up to date and all good.

The Market, Gmail, Youtube... everything starts working..
But as soon as Placed my SIM back and tried to connect through Edge/3G network i am still getting the same error and market and all other google apps just showing Loading....... even though with the same settings Internet on my device works perfectly fine.... Browser is opening all the sites pretty cool. But I am stick on the Default Google Apps that come preinstalled in the Android.
Plzzzzzz Help me guyzzzzzzz...................

Alright... I'm not quite sure what is causing your problem but I can bet that flashing the fxz will solve your problems.
There is a stickied thread in this section that has all you need to know about flashing an fxz, and more.

Ok i'll try that too and let u know whether it helps or not.
Having my finger crossed.. hope it works

Which service provider are you using? If you're not using AT&T I imagine you have the phone unlocked.. Could something wrong have happened with the unlock?
Does unlocking stay with the phone even after a fastboot flash?

Yuppp....... u r right.... I have an unlocked Atrix 2...
I am an Indian and I uses Vodafone Sim here.
And yes even after Fastboot Flash, it is still unlocked.
I was also worried when i was going to do a fastboot flash about unlocking issue.
But than i took the risk by my own and atleast after fastbooting it didn't get locked back to at&t.....
But no help regarding my issue of unable to connect to google account.
Though it works very much fine in WiFi but through SIM I am unable to do anything on google apps.
I had changed and tried the several APN's but none of them helping me...
Neither all other methods, such as Factory resetting, Youtube trick, etc , dont help me at all...
Still m searching for the solutions

Try another SIM card from your provider. This phone does have issues with SIM cards and weird things like that.

Flashing the fxz will not fix your issue, I promise. And I am not sure running SC v5 is the best option since you are having some issues. SC v5 is great, but it has some GPS issues, and a couple of other things. Since you are having this issue ONLY while using the cell singal, that should tell you that the issue lies on that part of the signal, and should be a very good lead in fixing it. I would talk with your phone provider.
Do a search on this forum for issues with atrix2 and SIM cards, this seems to fit the same bill we have been seeing over and over with phones that are not on a "true" HSPA+ "4G" style SIM card, there are even some people that had 2 of the same exact cards where one worked and the other did not. I would post a few links in here, but there are just too many to even give you a good few, to look at.
Jim

I have the same problem here.
Because sc v5.2 had a gps issue,then i go to bootstrap,wipe cache partition and wipe factory then restore 2.3.6 deodex and rebooted.
And now i can't connect to my google account.
Tomorrow i will try to restore sc v5 again and wish it will solve the problem.
Update: Restore sc v5 and now i'm able to connect to google account,but now i got fc.

Problem Solved
After so many hard reset, at last I am able to connect to my Google Account.
The most interesting fact is that problem is with the SIM's APN only.
Here in India, Vodafone provides two APN, one is "WWW" and other is "portalnmms".
I had tried both one by one but that didn't seem to work, than i found a thread on internet saying that add both the APN in a single APN, i.e., "WWW" in the APN field and "portalnmms" in the server field and change "Authentication Type" to "PAP" and leaving all other fields to default.
I did this and as soon as i saved these settings, everything starts working.
I am more than happy....

Having radio problems

After flashing CM9 on my nexus s GSM, I no longer have any data connection or any connection at all for that matter, it detects that there are radios around but I cannot connect to any of them.
I have checked I still have the correct IMEI, and I have tried going to stock 4.0.3 and slim ICS, and 2 different radio drivers to no avail.. Also wi-fi works fine.
Can anyone suggest what I should do next?
edit: even tried going back to gingerbread... still no luck

Is there no advice anyone can give? I've tried so many things and i've run out of ideas..

Did you try to flash the latest factory image (4.0.4) downloaded from Google? It includes the radio, and after flashing it you would have your phone as if you bought it just now.

heres the different radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 or maybe the problem was the carrier??
try to figure out whats the problem?? or maybe you broke your signal hardware..
or maybe the problem was on the carrier??

Check your apns in network and settings

CHeck your APN settings under settings>More>Mobile Networks and create a new APN unique to your own carrier. also, check if you can still make calls

I have this problem also when flashing cm7 months ago..
Solved it by flashing different radio..

Turns out somehow my phone corrupted my sim card after I flashed CM9, got a replacement, waited a day for three to activate the sim and it's all sorted now. Thanks guys

Wow. That sucks. At least you got it fixed and let us know!

How long have you been using that SIM?

It's a fairly new sim, got it 3 months ago.

[Q] HELP! Data but no signal!

So I started today feeling a little creative so I flashed the newest MIUI ROM, there was a data issue that I tried to work out and in the end screwed everything up.
I lost signal but I have data.
I have tried probably 10 ROMs and the same has happened, I am getting a roaming sign, but it shows I have bars (I am connected to a wireless repeater so full service all the time on 3g).
What in the world do I do? I've seriously tried everything. I flashed back to stock through ODIN and nothing still.
PLEASE tell me someone has seen heard this problem... WHAT DO I DO?
Thanks in advance...

Go to settings - about phone - status and tell us if your IMEI is a bunch of zeros or a string of numbers.

It's not I its still the right one, that was something I checked... I considered doing a IMEI restore anyway and maybe that would fix the problem but I still definitely have it there. Thanks

Read the thread and go into Mobile settings and fix the settings. After that you'll be good to go.

How I Fixed It
Hey there. Not sure if your still having this problem, but I ran into the same issue with my new phone after rooting, unlocking bootloader, and flashing MIUI. To fix it, I had to odin to stock (Pre-Jellybean for the Samsung Utility), which I got from here: http://hotfile.com/dl/169363562/8975152/SCH-I535_VZW_I535VRALG1_I535VZWALG1.zip.html%20
Then I ran the Samsung Repair Utility from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442&page=18
The Samsung Repair Utility said my ERI was present and my IMEI was accurate per the back of my phone. Desperate, I ran the "Repair ERI" anyway which made no difference until I followed the OP's directions to dial the code to run the factory reset if the tool didn't work. That seemed to do the trick :victory:
Good Luck.

Phone Stuck in Roaming

Hi I posted this on another forum but got no solution. Thought I would re-post here to see if anyone here can help.
I've been trying to figure this one out all day. I updated to Cyanogenmod 10.1 from 10 and since the upgrade I've lost my net work. My service bars are there with the roaming notification. I can't make calls or connect to data. I've done the following to try to fix:
Restored from backup
flashed different radios
Odin restore to stock (Jellybean)
Odin restore to original stock
Rerooted
Unlocked bootloader
Flashed cyanogenmod
I've also repaired my ERI using the Samsung repair tool.
After all this I have gotten no where so I must ask for advise. Along with flashing I've done complete factory resets as well. Any thoughts? Thanks

Did you even try looking at ops whole page for help?

If your back to stock then type this in to ur dialer *2767*3855# the same thing happened to me and that fixed it

Thanks for the reply, I was back onto jelly bean so the dialer code didn't work. I'm flashing back to ICS and I'll give it a try.

alright, this is getting very frustrating. I'm having the same stupid problem being stuck in roaming/no data. The only solution I find to fix this problem is to go to stock and then dial *2767*3855#....I flashed to stock, I try the number, but am then told by the operator that if I wan't to place a call, I need a credit card blah blah blah blah. Seriously, let's get a solution to this.

this is not the only solution. after u flash CM10.1 If you remove ur sim card and boot up and connect via wifi, u can then register and set up the phone. then shut down put sim card back in and boot up. go to system settings -> More... under wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> CDMA subscription and choose RUIM/SIM (NOT NV)
This should now let the ur phone have access to the network and get rid of the roaming issue.

Thanks

I searched everywhere to find a the stock 4.04 rom (that wasn't a zip) I could odin in and fix and I had already gone back to the stock 4.1.1 - I didn't know about 4.0 at the time. When I saw your post, I flashed on slimbean 4.3 and before booting I removed the sim, checked the RUIM box, rebooted and profited. Thanks for the post.- even if it was about a year old...

Latest 4.2.2 roms no service VZW

Has anyone else had this problem? No matter what latest rom I try, there is no data service at all. Even when I go into the configuration menu from the dialer and try to select the network, it refuses to do it. No matter what I do, my data will not work at all.

I saw your posts in the forums.
I'm having the same issue. CM10.1 from 7/17 works, but nothing after that does. I'm on page plus. What were you on when you flashed? I had to downgrade my radio to the ICS radio to flash my phone. I'm not sure if this is the cause though.
I should just have to set it as cdma & evdo to get it work but the radio never seems to turn on.
