(Q) Unable to delete primary google account - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Platform: HTC-HD2
Android 2.2 DFT (31-12-2010)
Problem: Unable to delete primary Google account from device under Android 2.2.
Got this phone from a friend, but his google account is still linked at Market. I already created a new one for myself, but I can't install any apps, due to the linkage between his google account and Market. t
Did already tried steps under settings/Accounts & sync/Google/ remove account/ only get a massage asking to go to settings, under privacy and reset the phone, which have not been able to find. The only place I’ve found which allows you to delete accounts and personal data is under Settings/ SD & phone storage /Factory data reset. I’ve tried repeatedly resetting phone from that selection and still will not remove Google account. Resetting by deleting img-file on /sd/android works either, since there is no such file there...
Anyone a solution?
Thanks!

same problem

I just picked up a HD2 cheap just so I could play with the Android part of it..Love playing with phones so I'm not a pro quite yet but it sounds like maybe you need to re-install Android 2.2 with DFT. That should give you a clean fresh rom install. Like I said, I just started on the HD2 so I might be wrong but it might be worth a shot.

There are different ways to do it.
I would suggest to make a fresh install of your chosen rom.
If you want to keep existing rom then you need to answear this. What magldr version are you using? (To check the version, turn off phone, turn on and then quickly after hold power button till you get to magldr, check version, post it here.)

Please Help, Messed Up

Hey guys, I've pretty tech savvy but new to playing with smartphones.
I have the Titanium backup and I removed some bloatware. (Bell Galaxy S 2.1, rooted, unlocked on Telus) I made out OK but stupid me never did a backup first.
Everything was fine until I removed Google Talk and I don't remember the other one below it. (I think it was goolge talk storage or something like that)
No when I boot the phone up I get Error com.google.process.gupps closed. And I can't download from the market. Everything else is fine afaik
Can someone help walk me through this?
A google search ?

Thanks for the help but on my phone I don't have that option. Where do I find the place to clear it on my phone?
Wich one you don't have ? Try clearing all google stuff
There are no options on my phone that I can find for clearing anything google. I know how to clear the browser stuff but can't find anything else to clear google things. I found where I can sync my google contacts, gmail & calendar but not clear it. There's an option to remove the google account and I tried it but it says I can't delete the account because it's used by the phone and I'd have to do a factory reset.
Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Application >.
Select Settings and then Applications.
Select Manage applications.
Maybe All tab
Select Gmail Storage and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
Return to the list of applications by pressing the < Back > key.
Select Gmail and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
Restart your device (Press and hold the < End call > button, then select Power off. Press < End call > to power on).
I found and cleared google service. that fixxed the error on boot up.
But the market still wont download and angry birds beta stopped working at the same time this happened

And try to re-install angry
Thanks for the link. I am just a bit scared to install it because it says it gets rid of the radio. My market worked fine before I deleted Gtalk and Gservice.
Is there another way?
OK so just to clarify, everything on the phone worked fine before I uninstall Gtalk and Gtalk Services (I think that's what it was, it was right below Gtalk)
Can I put the Gtalk and Services back on to fix it? (If so where do I find it online? Maybe someone has a dump?)
I don't know how to install the marketfix without the market either, it just sends me to the market no matter what I do.

Receive a direct download link in your mobile
Sorry I should have told you I tried all the methods on that page. I got the direct link emailed to my phone and it just opens up in the market.

Download on computer and transfer anywhere on you sd then use my files app to install it
Thank you, I will try that tonight.
I wanted to ask too, if I wait for the official Froyo update will that fix this problem too?
Well yes cause you will flash your phone with new fw
froyo is due 2 weeks away
not sure you want to wait for that long
The EXACT thing happened to me before. I did a google search and learned that Google Talk is in fact tied to using the Market.. I had to reflash my phone's firmware to get everything back.
I recently made a backup of all the default software of my SGS including Google Talk. So I have its apk and such.. I dunno exactly if you can install it from an APK..but yeah I have it. I'll upload it for you when I get home later.
I will just reflash the phone with original firmware if I can find it. Mine is the Bell version. Will the IMEI change if I reflash it with new firmware? Mine is I9000UGJH2 currently. No updates available through kies.

[Q] Unable to delete Google account.

Platform: HTC-HD2
Dual boot: Windows mobile 6.5 & Android 2.2
Android build: FroyoStone Sense V2
Problem: Unable to delete third party Google account from device under Android 2.2.
Bought this phone unlocked from ebay .
Have tried steps under settings/Accounts & sync/Google/ remove account/ only get a massage asking to go to settings, under privacy and reset the phone, which have not been able to find. The only place I’ve found which allows you to delete accounts and personal data is under Settings/ SD & phone storage /Factory data reset. I’ve tried repeatedly resetting phone from that selection and still will not remove Google account or the third party Gmail account which persistently pops up asking me to sign in.
Please advice.
Anything on the Android build you need? Personally, I'd be hesitant on running it if I bought from ebay. I'd flash a new WM rom (and radio if needed) and then download my preference of Android builds. (Directions for all this are on the forums).
Clear defaults and cache inside setting/applications
i just had the same issue with a used hd2 i bought with the dual boot...answer was just giving to me earlier on this site. go into file explorer in windows, sd card>android and delete the data img file and boot up heret.. it will create a new data img with a fresh copy of android.. it will take a few mins longer then usual when booting up android as its creating a new image..and you should be good to go..

Android Market: instant 'Download unsuccessful' message

Hi everyone,
I'm positing because I have a peculiar issue. I cannot download from the Android Market....and I have tried the solutions on the internet from clearing data/cache to trying to sync my google account in different ways...
Here is the background:
- Bought used Vibrant on craigslist
- rooted, unlocked, then unrooted, then hard reset
- no external SD card
After every hard reset, in two instances now, I have been able to download from Android market SUCCESFULLY for about a ~30 min window. After this time window, any download from Market does NOT work, and after clicking 'Install' immediately goes to the red triangle status 'Download unsuccessful.'
At all times, my internet still works fine, both on 2G/3G/wifi.
Android market website does NOT show my device (is this because the device only works with the very first sync when the phone was purchased??)
Something is locking me out from downloading. It's come to such a stupid workaround that since I know Market WILL work after a hard reset, I do a mass download of my app essentials in the ~30 minutes that I have.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Clear market cache
also, setting proper permissions on /data/ and /data/app might help (with a program like root explorer)
Do you use titanium backup? Restoring any setting? I got similar problem when I freeze "media container" in titanium backup.
Had this problem when z4mod was setting incorrect permissions on /system partition
All,
To avoid the issues with any roms/rooting, I unrooted the phone, as stated in the first post.
I basically got the phone back to 'stock' settings, and I have this issue. Any additional help would be great...this is my first experience with Android and it has only been headaches....
getting nostalgic with my old E71. haha
So, did you use odin to go to jfd?
I'm really interested and willing to help, just santo make sure I understand everything that you've done.
How did you root?
Why no external?

[Q] Can't sync google account after flashing ROM

Hello all,
I'm posting this here because I'm a noob and don't have the required 10 posts to post this in the Dev section. I just flashed my G2 with the InsertCoin_Vision Sense2.1 + 3.0 (v1.5) ROM and am having a problem logging into my google account to sync it. For the language I selected English (UK) because there was no option for US, and after trying numerous times to sync my google account I get a message saying " sorry your username and password do not match. Please try again. To recover your account information go to google.co.uk/accounts on your computer." I am positive I have the correct username and password, as I am able to log into the account using the phone's and my PC's browsers. I tried to sync a different gmail account and I'm having the same problem. The more I think about it, this really sounds like an issue with the wrong language selection and the phone subsequently trying to contact a UK server rather than US. I also verified on my wife's G2 she has the phone set to English (US) which for some strange reason is not an option on my phone I tried flashing the radio lib matcher and after rebooting the problem persists. ow can I add the option for the proper English (US) language selection? I would greatly appreciate some help on getting this to work. Since I can't post in the proper thread, if you see this siulmagic thanks for your hard work on this ROM.
I did some more research online and found the morelcale2 app and was able to add the English(US) language and I was able to create a new google account however I'm still not able to sync my 2 other google accounts.
Try reflashing or restoring your nandroid and reflashing. Also this wouldn't belong in the development area and would be moved here probably. It could also be a problem with the rom... head over to off topic, get your post count up, and ask around on the thread for your rom.

Thanks deliriousDroid, I assume re-flashing the ROM will overwrite the settings I have set up so far? Will my apps be gone to? I'm really hoping I won't have to re-flash since I spent a good amount of time setting the phone up. Any InsertCoin ROM user having this problem or have any input.

Yes when you reflash all your settings will be erased. You can backup your apps with their data with Titanium Backup and easily restore them later on.

Problem Solved!
I figured I'd post the solution to my problem for anyone else who may experience it at some point. The reason I could not sign into my 2 previously existing accounts but could create a new google account and sign in with no trouble was because I had the google authenticator enabled on my account, having previously installed the app on the phone when I had the stock ROM installed. I had to reinstall the google authenticator app and add a new phone under my account settings on my PC. I then created a new verification code, entered it on the app on my phone and all was well.

HELP ME! Login & updating (2 part problem) - compensation for your time

First problem:
A few days ago i changed my gmail PW. Now the android features on my phone don't work. When I'm prompted to enter my PW, i get a network connection error message. I've tried 'force stopping' the gmail, and google apps, turning 3g on/off, without any luck. Toying with this issue has been testing my patience. I'm hoping to find a solution before i perform a hard reset.
Second problem:
I've had the phone for over a year running 2.2.X CM6.X. Since 2.3.X released, I wanted to manually update to gingerbread but i keep getting the 'error 7' code. I've looked around on the forums for solutions: reverting to an unmodified build followed by 'update.zip'
Specs:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernal Version 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod
Mod Version: Cyanogenmod-6.1.1-N1
Build: FRG83D
The phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked. I'm a noob with the android.
Paypal $10 per problem to the person who can get me out of this hole. I know your time is money so a little compensation is being offered. Reward yourself with a beer or latte.
Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync Settings
Tap on your Gmail account
You will see a 'Remove Account' button - Hit that
Your phone should now have no account associated with it
Do a reboot (not really necessary though)
Back in the Accounts & Sync Settings, Add a gmail account by hitting 'Add account' button
That should take care of Problem #1
Problem #2:
Get the zip from the OTA here
Boot into recovery and do a Nandroid backup
Wipe Data + everything
Wipe again
Flash the OTA ZIP you downloaded
Reboot into phone
Once rebooted, setup your Google account again
You should be back in business

Thanks for the reply chetanthaker.
1. I don't have gmail as a separate item under sync. i use the default email client for both yahoo/gmail. When i try to remove my gmail account, it says i can only get rid of it by restoring to factory default.
2. I'm not sure where the issue is but even after i did a hard reset i can't login with my google account (the one i changed my PW to) nor the new account i made to verify if the issue is with my phone or accounts. Let's say i manage to update the to Gingerbread, won't i still have the same issue logging into my G account?
1. If you say you do not have a separate Gmail account on the list, that means your phone is not really connected to Google (in it's real sense) - So forcibly closing Gmail and the other Gapps won't really have any effect. (I'm assuming when you have a data connection, your EDGE/3G/WIFI icons do not really turn green from the regular white.
When you first configure your phone, you should ideally configure your gmail account first (so you get access to Market and the other stuff as well). You can then disable Sync on Gmail and add 2 accounts in the default mail app to send/recv email.
Do a Nandroid and get rid of all the accounts (may do a factory reset)
Start with adding a google account and you should be set.
2. You will not have that problem unless you Wipe your data via recovery. All that will happen is you will start fresh with adding your primary Google account

so far i've tried the following (without success):
- removing all accounts from sync list (except the main google account which i can't remove unless i do a factory restor).
- toggle 3g/2g
- logging in with a new google account
- attempt to login via Wi-fi without SD card and/or sim card
- trying old passwords (i thought i might have been entering the wrong PW, but i verified by logging into my gmail account; i'm sane)
- holding my breath and crossing my fingers
- performing a wipe of the phone memory (still can't login with either new or old google account).
Logging into youtube (linked google account) won't work b/c im in china. Initially i thought the hiccup would be due to china's great wall, but i've used this phone here for 8 months and changed my google PW successfully in within. I'm truly at a loss.
I'm still getting emails via default email program (yahoo/gmail accounts).
The internet works
Whatsapp works
And most importantly angry birds still works.
Maybe if i can find a way to update to Gingerbread, this issue will miraculously disappear.
Hi.
Did you try removing the Email app from the Device Administrators?
Maybe that's the reason why you are unable to un-link your Gmail account
Settings > Location and Security > Device Administrators
Uncheck the Email app (screenshot) and try

i don't have the option for my email under device admin list :/
the really odd thing is, i can't log in to my TF101 either...even after restoring back to factory settings. I'm convinced its either Google or China that's punishing me.
Well, with you wanting to update, are you wanting to update to a stock Gingerbread version, or to CyanogenMod's Gingerbread version?
If it is the latter, just go download the latest version 7.1.0. The best way to upgrade is to backup all your apps and app data with an app like Titanium Backup. Then perform a nandroid backup (basically a snapshot of your current system) and wipe the /system partition and perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. Then install CM7 and the latest gapps (found from http://goo-inside.me/gapps) and reboot the phone. Once you are in, try to add your google account back to the phone (hopefully it works with a completely blank slate). Then connect to the market and get Titanium Backup back and restore all your apps and app data.
I'm not sure if it's a default security feature from google, but 24 hours after i changed my password and it let me login to my account again...However i'm having issues logging into Gtalk.
Thanks for all your help. Now let's see if i can get it running Gingerbread!
