i have rooted my Nook Color before and added cm7. I was trying to do the same for my cousin. But, when i finished, i couldn't add a google account. i went to settings>accounts and sync> add account. but it instantly brought me to "add an exchange account". because of this, i can't use the market. this happened with every rom i used. I fixed this by using one of my old nandroid backups. but now I've been trying to flash a different rom and the same problem came up.
What do i do???
thanks in advance

Hello,
I'm new with my Xperia X8 and all the Android world. I bought it used to another person, 3 weeks ago. The issue is this: I can't set up gmail account. When I go to "Setup guide" to set up gmail account, I hit the "set up" option and I get nothing on the screen. Is like not pressing the set up option at all. When I go to Market app, screen goes white as well, and no access to it. That means I can't download Android Market apps, and can't install any theme, which is what I'm trying to do. The previous owner was able to do it, because there was a few "market apps" and "no market apps" install on the phone. So, here are the steps I already completed to solve the problem. First, I reset the phone to its original settings (meaning I lost some cool apps). I rooted it, no problem there. I tried to install xrecovery to make a back up but got stuck in the process because I couldn't download a market app that was needed. Also, I changed the gmail password to set up the gmail account but it was useless. I have read a lot of threads but I can find he solution. Besides all this, my Xperia X8 works perfectly. I'll really appreciate help.
Hmmm, did u updated it to 2.1?
p.s.: u don't need anything from market to install xRecovery.

Yes, I'm using firmware version 201 -update 1
I think it can act like this when you don't have internet access or connection problems
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.
OK... I flashed CM7.1(RC1), and also the latest Gapps...
Both of these were already on my SD card from prior to my resetting the phone back to Froyo....
SO... I am rooted (have not checked radio or simcard), but when I flashed CM7.1 and Gapps, and then rebooted.... I didn't have a market app.
So I went through the browser to an xda thread from this summer where I could download a market app. Installed it.
When launching market, it states I need to add an account-- and this is correct as I had not added a gmail/google account as of yet.
But when I go to Accounts under Settings.... It says I can setup an EXCHANGE ACCOUNT.... What is this???? I tried just entering a gmail account and my password, and it says it cannot connect to server.
What is going on...????? This has nothing to do with the market app... (I don't think).
Anybody have a clue??

An Exchange Email is for Microsoft Outlook users. It allows us to either get Pushed or polled email services.
if you cannot get the g/apps i would highly recommend wiping, flashing the ROM, then flashing the g/apps again. And it does use a specific g/apps package with 2.3 ROMS.

Thank you for your reply. After an innumerable number of hours I was able to root it (without using a USB cable.. I just switched to ADB wireless after temproot), I think I got everything the cyanogen guide is supposed to deliver... But I need to recheck in hboot.
Wow a lot of headaches. I might make a guide.

Hello,
I rooted to Cyanogenmod7 and also flashed gaaps-gb-20110828-signed.zip at the same time. (I also tried 20110613, 20110307, 20110120 and cm7-20110106 gaaps each time starting from stock nook install)
I boot up just fine into CM7. There market app it missing along with all of the google apps.
When I booted up for the first time and every time since, it does not ask me to log in or to make an account. When I goto Setup---Applications I try to create an account. When i enter my gmail name/password it then goes to another screen and wants me to put in my "EXCHANGE" information. well I dont get anywhere after that. When i hit submit, it says "Unable to open connection to server."
I have WIFI working just great. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Kent
ps this seems to be a common problem and would be great to find a solution.
SOLVED!
ok,
You must enter exactly the right information on the account setup page
On the first page, I put [email protected] (use YOUR username) and then
was very careful to put in the right password then hit NEXT.
on the next screen, the top line should be "/[email protected]"
leave the password alone
on the last line, erase gmail or whatever they put there as the default and put in "m.google.com"
That will setup your account. Now Im off to see if I can find any google apps now....
Good luck
Just Installed a Clean version of CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 Stable build, And GAPPS 20110828, But after I booted it it came up with the Google Account thing, And I tried to Sign in to my account and it said something like "Could not establish a connection" so I decided I would skip it and fix it later. Then for some reason the Android market does not even show in the apps, but it does show it is installed. I tried to install it over it again but nothing changed. Any Help?
BTW I'm not sure if I am posting this in the wrong section (Noob) So sorry if I am...
Thanks,
Hayden.
Try reflashing gapps... It should be there.. As for adding google account you can go to accounts and settings, add account and select google..
