I have rooted my phone. Wanted to use Titanium Backup. Still running the stock ROM. Now I find myself in the situation to do a reset to change the primary email address. Can the standard method *#*#4636#*#* be used to blank this phone to change the primary email?
If not, what would you suggest.
Thanks - Dan
Settings > accounts > remove your account maybe?

Someone signed in their Google account into a phone that was being used for display in our store. Is there anyway to reset the phone back to factory?
Menu > Settings > SD Card & Phone Storage > Factory Data Reset
That should do the trick
It's pattern protected though and signed in with an unknown account.
update the phone using seus should do the trick
If you want to just get rid of the gmail account goto settings>applications>manage applications>gmail>clear data
Thanks the update method worked wonderfully.
glad to be of help
hi all, got a question about a setting in MIUI i can't find. on stock and blur based roms there is an option in settings under privacy (i think) where you can enable or disable the option to back up and restore your settings from google's servers. when i first set up this rom (1.12.9) i enabled the option to backup and restore to google during the wizard, but now I can't find the option to disable it anywhere. does anyone know how to get to it?
btw I'm not talking about the account sync settings, I'm talking about the setting that controls the backup of your personal settings in android including wifi passwords, etc.
Thanks!
Hi,
I also couldn´t find this setting in the latest miui (2.3.23)
is not possible to backup settings and wifi password to google account when using miui?
I've searched in vain for an answer to this. I'm running the new Virtuous Affinity v2.05.0. I keep my contacts synced with T-Mobile rather than putting them in Gmail. I want to get my contacts synced back to the phone. When I go to add that account (Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add an Account), there is no T-Mobile account type option. Can someone tell me the name of the .APK I need to install to get the T-Mobile account type back? I have a copy of the rooted stock v2.3.4 ROM so I can get any of the included .APKs.
Thanks.

Asked this months ago as most custom roms have it removed...you can flash the rooted stock and let your contacts re sync, then use an app that backs up contacts and then restore them whenever you flash another rom...if you read the thread I linked, there its a way to pull the contacts out of the my tmobile website so you can import them into google. Once your contacts are in google, you won't have to worry about it as long as you own an android phone
I have a Nexus S 4G running codenameandroid 3.5. I like to check out new roms and the only thing that I haven't been able to speed up after a wipe was to have my SIP -internet calling account settings be automatically re setup after a Titanium restore. Anyone know of a way?
thank you
I finally found out how to backup & restore non-gmail email account settings for a Samsung Note 3. Just to be clear, this method backs up the SETTINGS for the accounts themselves...not the emails. I've got a Verizon.net account four GoDaddy accounts for my business. Every time I try to flash a new rom, or just wipe and reset my phone for any reason, I had to go through the setup process for each account over and over and over again. Now, You can save the settings for all your accounts and restore them quickly and easily.
Simply install Kies on your PC or Mac, turn "USB debugging" on under "Developer Options" and connect you device to your computer. Once connected, click the Backup/Restore tab in Kies and scroll down to the "account information & settings" section. Select "email account information" and click the backup button. Now you've got a copy of the settings for all of your non-gmail accounts on your computer. Whenever you need to restore them, just connect to Kies and perform a restore. Hope this helps someone out as much as it has me!
