Hi all,

I need to remove the Google account from a mt3g running cm6.1

I have been digging for info for days. I'm now dizzy:)

I bought this phone used, already rooted, & running CM6.1

I just sold the phone and would like to delete all the account info.

settings- acc & sync- remove account, brings up that this account is required by some apps, and must reset phone to factory default under the privacy settings to remove. Tried that.

No joy. account is still there.

When I do the factory data reset, I start with a full charge, and plugged in, but the charge indicator light goes out. The phone hangs on the green my touch screen for 2-3 hours then shuts off. I think the battery just goes dead. I wanted to give it every chance to succeed. When I power up, same 'ol same 'ol. The account is still there and locked in.

The reset did however clear out the contacts and gmail's.

I have uninstalled all downloaded apps. Cleared data in all google apps, and market.

I have added an additional account and then try to remove the original it's still a no go. However I can remove the added account.

I like the cm6 rom and so does the phones new owner so I'd like to keep it.

I'm tempted to try to install the Ginger Yoshi rom, but If I'm going to take the time to figure out the process I'll do it on my current mt3.5jack

If I give up the phone to it's new owner like it is, Tell them to just not sync my personal account, I still have to give them My password for the Market to work.

Feeling pretty vulnerable with that deal :(

I have bought 2 used my touch's. One rooted and one stock. Neither had any account info on them. Surely this is possible?

If you have read this far, Thanks !

Any help would be appreciated:D

Boot into recovery and wipe data from there. Hold home + power to do that

wipe data in recovery,everything gone
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 8-up:
Thanks all for the fast reply's.

I just tried to boot into recovery by holding down the home and power button to turn on the phone.

This took me to the splash screen that is the green "my touch"

screen.

The phone just hangs there. I had to pull the battery to free up the phone.

I waited 10-15 min before pulling the battery. How long should it take?

I also have the option to reboot into recovery from the shutdown menu.

This also just hangs up on the splash screen when it turns back on.

I just tried to power on while pressing the "down" volume button.

From there I had the option to "reset phone".

Just booted ... and no change. The account is still there and I cannot remove it?

Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 15 year old girl calling me every 2 hours, excited to get her new toy:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
Flash recovery again then
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 8-up:
Thanks again for the replies.

I've tried getting the phone to boot into recovery for a few hours.

All I can do is get it stuck on the flash screen or normal boot.

I waited 5 min each time I tried to boot into recovery, while stuck on the splash screen.

Do I need to have a sim card in the phone for this ?

I assume there is some glitch in the code causing this? I've been reading up about flashing rom's. I'm worried this glitch may cause a problem with that. I'm a noob, and If Flashing a rom hangs something up, I will end up being a real nuisance here:o

Loading a zip file from the sd card is no big deal but the radio kernel's and such are bit intimidating. Most of what I have read here seems to be focused towards advanced users.

I really like the cm6.1 rom. I will learn how to load on my personal phone next!

I just need to get this phone to it's new owner.

What is the down side of leaving the google account on this phone, and giving the owner the password. I can create a new google account for myself.

I assume that the new user can just have 2 accounts live on the phone.

They can still use their own account for their contacts and whatnot?

Just my password to get to the market. Will their purchases end up on my bill?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 8-up:
A bit more info here,

I have the ginger Yoshi rom sitting on the sd on the phone in question.

If I just execute the zip file, would I be swinging? I'm worried without access to recovery mode I may be jacked if something goes wrong.

Right now the phone has a radio that is fast compared to stock.

Will that be lost?

The phone has titanium backup, Rom Manager, super user, and super manager loaded on it.

Thanks again for the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
If the recovery is hosed you wouldn't be able to flash Yoshi. Don't leave the account on the phone. Just do what the other Guy said. Reflash the recovery using the ROM Manager app and then wipe data from the recovery menu. No need to overcomplicate everything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 8-up:
Thanks again for the reply.

I used rom manager. I selected to "reboot into recovery"

the phone starts to reboot, but get's stuck on the splash screen. Like always.

How long should I wait?

Any thing that I've tried that causes a non-conventional reboot, freezes the phone. I wait 10 min to one hour sometimes. I pull the battery then restart normally, and I'm back to same 'ol same 'ol ?

I just tried rom manager "flash clockworkmod recovery". It gave me a successful pop up.

I then shut down the phone. I held the home button then pressed the red power on button. Now stuck on the splash screen again.

I generally assume the problem is me, however I'm not so sure right now?

If this phone doesn't transform into a brick it will transform into a frisbee :D

Thanks Again for spending energy on this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 8-up:
Hurray !!!

I had to use rom manager to flash recovery. When doing this I was selecting

HTC magic. I started going through every variable.

Yep it was me. One option for recovery was "ION/MyTouch GSM" I was glazing past that one 'cause I saw "ION" and didn't recognize that.

I finally saw the elusive recovery menu

Thanks all for keeping me motivated :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzzYGuY:
Hi all.

Im really familiar with Galaxy phones, and have flashed mine countless times.

Ive got the opportunity to buy a Galaxy Tab outright from telstra here in australia, for $299.00.

The unit is apparently locked to their network.

I have a plan with Optus for my Galaxy phone, and was hoping to use the Optus sim in the Tab.

Will flashing it unlock it so this can be done?

Dont wanna go and get a new plan just to use it if possible.

EDIT : After some googling, im pretty sure that the UnlockCode app, designed for the Galaxy S, will probably also work with the Galaxy Tab.

The only problem I'm experiencing while running Wolfbreak's 6.1.3 (latest, although the problem persists with even v05) is the use of live wallpapers. Whenever I select a live wallpaper, it gets stuck at "Loading live wallpaper..." in front of a black screen.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxX4:
hi guys

srry for being a noob here :)

i just rooted my Desire HD for the first time + ENG-S-Off and radio off

and i want to install a rom and i am having trouble choosing between android rev hd 3.5 or CyanogenMod 7/

any suggestions?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidity3000:
I would personally recommend you to try either Cyanogen or MIUI roms, they are very nice. I am not sure which are exactly available for your device, however. Android Rev seems pretty nice, has the basic HTC look. It's best to try them out first hand, and it's real easy once you back up your rom. Once backed up, if you are ever displeased, you can revert to exactly where you were on the old rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxX4:
can i have 2-3 roms installed and just switch between them whenever i want?

do i use clockworkmod to revert back?how?

i read somewhere that its best to do a swipe before? what is it and how?

:) sorry for all the Q's and thank you for the reply
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeandroid:
no. you can install 1 roms.

you need go to backup and restor in the colockrecovery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Technically, in the manner you're thinking, you can't just choose. However, once you've flashed the rom & done a backup, you can just restore it at any given point. I have a couple of backups I go between, mainly CM7 & MIUI. If I wanted to switch back to CM7 right now, I'd just boot into recovery & nandroid restore. If you want to be able to do that, I would set it up how you like it first - restore your apps with Titanium Backup, set up your homescreens, etc then do your backup. Otherwise it wouldn't be any different than just flashing the Rom.

But really, I'd just try a bunch of different roms out & see what you like. Before flashing, you need to wipe data, cache & dalvik cache at the least. You do this by booting into recovery (I'm not sure of the method for your phone) and choosing wipe. Then choose what you want to wipe. Don't wipe the SD card. I believe in Clockwork Mod, dalvik is under advanced.

If you don't understand this, then you need to read more before flashing anything. Knowledge is your friend... and the best bet against a bricked device.

Good luck!

Just test them out. You dont have to stick with the first one you pick. I think that within the first week of me rooting my evo, I changed roms every day and sometimes two or three times a day, lol. You just have to find the one that has / does not have the things you want.

am i right?

Basically a nandroid backup is just a fancy word for going into clockworkmod and selecting backup, its actually easier still to download Tom manager from the market and click backup in that app, its so easy when you know how
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesa9911:
Haha and my girlfriend hated roms too until I rooted her phone but now I do it all too, while she plays farmville -_-
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fikusunc:
This is assuming that you are using ClockworkMod Recovery

1. Power off phone

2. Hold down the Power button + Volume down

3. When the white screen comes up, wait for it to do the PC36IMG steps

4. Volume down or up ( will move your option you want ) to RECOVERY the press power button ( power button is always to select your selection )

5. Select backup and restore

6. Select backup

7. wait for process to complete

* your backup will be stored with a dateTime stamp. so if you do multiple backups or backup different roms, you have to remember what date and time that you did them. I have not tried to edit the name of the backup yet.

The above steps are considered a "nandroid" backup, if Im not mistaken.

Now for the wipe process ( these are what I do for each new rom )

1. - 4. are same as above

5. select wipe data/factory reset

6. Select Yes -- delete all user data

7. Select Wipe cache partition

8. Select Yes - Wipe Cache

9. Select advanced

10. Select wipe dalvik cache

11. Select Yes - wipe dalvic cache

12. Select Wipe Battery Stats

13. Select Yes - wipe battery stats

Those steps will give you a clean slate for your new rom to be installed on.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesa9911:
Use rom manager to manage backups stored on the sd card, it can safely change the name into a format that clockworkmod can use (ie.no spaces)

In all respect you really should use rom manager its a great tool, and free from the makers of clockworkmod so intergrates well

(reposted from G1 SIM card does not allow connection thread)

When I went to bed on April 20th, my factory unlocked rooted HTC Desire CM7 (final) handset was working perfectly. When I woke up the following morning, I had "Emergency Calls Only" and "Your Sim Card Does Not Allow A Connection To This Network". While in this condition, I can sometimes get a 3g data connection and WiFi, GPS and the rest of the phone works well. The connection status bar shows 3-4 bars of signal strength for my service provider.

I have:

o Contacted my service provider (O2) and my IMEI is not blocked

o Tried every suggestion in every thread on the topic here and anywhere else Google sent me including toggling flight mode

o Tried the SIM in other phones - works perfectly

o Tried other SIMs in it - same error persists with another O2 SIM and a 3 SIM. The phone correctly identified that the 3 SIM was alien to it before going ahead to use it, showing that the phone IS mounting SIMs

o Rebooted.

o Factory reset.

o Removed battery for 1hr. Rebooted.

o Factory reset and re-installed a Sense Froyo Stock ROM

o Updated the Radio driver with 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17.zip

o At each stage tried combinations of disabled WiFi and 3g and auto-update

The nitty gritty from the *#*#4636#*#* Phone information screen contains the following (with 4 bars of signal):

IMEI: (correct code - matches the one behind the battery)

Phone Number: (my number - as defined by the SIM)

...

Location: LAC = unknown CID = unknown

Neighbouring CID = unknown

Roaming: Nor roaming

GSM service: Emergency calls only

GPRS service: Disconnected

Network type: unknown

...

Radio resets: 0

Data attempts: 0

Data successes: 0

GSM disconnect: ========DATA=======

State: DcInactiveState

disconnected with last try

at 5:38 PM

fail because Radio Not

Available

(everything else here is 0)

The preferred network type is "WCDMA preferred". Whatever I change it to, it sets itself back to that (ref bingley's solution http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921812).

Turned off and on the radio a few times to try to make it see reason. No joy.

So - did I forget anything?

Can anyone help or offer any suggestions of something else I can try?

TIA for any thoughts anyone may have

Any recommendations? I'm using the ClockwordMod recovery already. Really appreciating the input - any thoughts are better than silence!

As for the SIM card, I have put a brand new SIM into the phone - clean contacts, straight from a sealed packet - and put my SIM in an old SE handset I have so that at least my number is on air. The SIM works just fine. Someone suggested that I could put some tape on the back of the SIM card to improve contact, but I really think that something more fundamental is wrong here.
