[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InTheY2K:
I was facing the same issue, too.

There was an old Google account lingering on my Fire (5th gen.) that had been deleted with Google long ago, and which couldn't be removed from the Fire. As it is currently running on FireOS 5.6.0.1 there was no way of deleting the accounts.db as suggested earlier here in the thread due to the lack of root access.

The only thing that helped was deleting the apps

Google Account Manager

Google Services Framework

Google Play Services

Google Play Store

and reinstall them with these package versions:

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...unt-manager-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-framework-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-10-2-98-230-146496160-android-apk-download/

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...25-l-all-0-pr-145823605-android-apk-download/

That resolved my problem.

After reinstalling everything the obsolete account is not suggested as Google account anymore.

Cheers,

Sascha

Anyone figure out how to do this? I've tried everything. The only thing I could not do was delete /data/system/users/0/accounts.db ... I have root using SuperSU but apps will not see the 'users' folder and I can see it with ADB but it says I dont have perms.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] startrekTerran:
The super-secret users & accounts menu seems to be at:

1. Open Youtube app

2. Click upper-right corner icon for your Google-connected Youtube account.

3. Click switch account

4. Click manage accounts

5. A screen should pop up named "Users & accounts". Click your Google acct.

6. Click the "remove account" button.

Other things I tried:

* One can force logout any device online at myaccount.google.com in your web browser. This did the trick for logging out on my Fire, but I subsequently got endless login shoutboxes saying I need to log back in.

* I tried clearing cache and deleting user data on all user apps and restarting, but this didn't work at all.

I'm on FireOS 6.3.1.4 and confirmed with Youtube version 14.42.54 and 15.06.52

Would you mind adding some Screenshots (possibly edited with 'Mark-Up'), it is pretty hard to follow your directions OR its just different on my Fire Tab 7 (Gen 7). I can sign out via Google Account device Manager from another device, however theres a persistent notification then, saying "Account Action required" which sucks a lot, it sticks in the notification shade for ages!!!

How To Remove Google Account From Amazon Fire Tablet? [Solved]

There might be different reasons for removing a Google account from your Amazon Fire Tablet, but the most common one is that you created a new google account

This is insane. I am having this problem on a 7th gen 10in. All I wanted to do was remove one Gmail profile from the device and leave another. I had everything set up but that reddy to give away to family. What I thought would be the last and easy step, remove my profile, now I'm about to factory reset it and hope I can miss the force updates and get set to exactly how it is now, but with my email removed.
[TouchPad General] mcsephoenix:
I have been using Tasker for over a year now on my Atrix and would love to load it on my touchpad, but it appears it is not suppported according to the Android Market. Has anyone gotten it to install? Is this just a matter of the Market or the app creator not being caught up with the dev done on the touchpad?
[TouchPad General] tennyleaz:
Maybe copy your tasker apk form your Atrix, than use it on TP?
[TouchPad General] mcsephoenix:
Sounds almost too easy, if I could only find it on my phone I would... Anyone know there it would be stored by default when downloaded from the Market?
[TouchPad General] vinscuzzy:
You can use an app called bluetooth file transfer. Once paired theres an option to send apps from your phone to the touchpad. It works great...
[TouchPad General] danknee:
/data/app/

You can just email it to yourself and install from the attachment.
[TouchPad General] Truth650:
If you can't find it that way, you can download app monster, and manually make a backup of Tasker, then navigate to app monster folder and email it from there. This is what I do when apps dont show in the market. Hell, Im bored ill try right now.

and yes Tasker works beautifully.
[TouchPad General] taob:
It shows up in the Market from my TouchPad for me. I've had it installed since the first day I switched over to CM7, but I haven't really done much with it, except to verify that it does recognize events and execute tasks.
[TouchPad General] mcsephoenix:
So I tried coping it from my phone, but when I ran the apk it wouldn't install on the touchpad. In the market my device is greyed out unfortunatly, I am using MIUI... Guess I will have to try the backup route
[TouchPad General] taob:
Maybe a MIUI vs CM issue?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] YourIcarus:
I've successfully rooted and installed the Android Market on my Kindle Fire, and in doing so came across some of the anti-theft apps like Prey. However, these apps seem to rely on SMS and GPS as a large part of their functionality. Is there any security app that would work for the Kindle; something that gives coarse location through WiFi and things such as that?

This would help me greatly, as it's the only device I have to worry about actually losing at present.

The closest I can seem to get is Cerberus. It has remote wiping, locking, alarms, and etc, but does not show coarse location. After attempting to send the locate device command, it does not appear on the map.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] CrackMonkey91:
Well from my understanding no app can add functions that the kindle just can not have. Like to be located loo sorry but amazon made it this way and nothing you do will change that maybe custom Roms but even then how you will locate a lost kindle is beyond me. Since it has no gps or cell signal. And if you password portect it. It cant connect to new wifi
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] movieaddict:
i put lookout on mine and im going to use the giude on how to put gps on it and then lookout will work
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] borborpa:
The GPS only works when connected through your phone, I believe.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] U-MAD:
And how exactly are you going to "put gps on it" ? If you're not going to attach tons of gadgets to your microUSB port or another cell phone with a duck tape behind your KF, let me know :P
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] joelfinkle:
(bumping this thread)

My wife works for a doctor's office doing research, and they're getting a patient form-filling app that runs on Android. The Kindle Fires or another cheap tablet looks like the best way to go, but they are concerned about these things growing legs.

Without SMS and GPS, tracking using the typical apps such as Prey just won't work. I've got some ideas, I'm looking for others:

Mainly: Pair with a bluetooth device that sits in the office. I think I should be able to use Tasker or on{x} to detect when the bluetooth disconnects, and (a) play an alarm on the device, (b) alert the office

The alert the office part could possibly be done through (1) pairing with a laptop, (2) Google Voice? (3) Some web or email thingy, if the device is either still in WiFi range or connects to a public WiFi.

Sound reasonable?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlund:
Hi.

I'm trying to fix my boss' tab, SPH-P100 (Sprint).

I have tried all kinds of things and nearly bricked it (got the phone ! computer symbol, but it still accepted uploads, so I was OK).

Here's the issues:

- Continuous loop of Samsung logo on boot

- From Recovery screen, I performed a factory reset, but it didn't help - same logo loop

- In the Recovery screen, I get errors similar to the ones quoted above:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount CACHE:log/recovery.log

E:Can't open CACHE:log/recovery.log

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(No such file or directory)

I read all kinds of posts about simply flashing the stock ROM, and I found the ROM that was mentioned multiple times in these forums to be the right one for this tab (it did change the first boot animation, though...). The ROM I used is tab_sprint_noModem_20101226.tar inside Tab_Stock_-_No_Modem.rar.

I tried:

-ODIN with the stock ROM posted in this thread. It works, but it doesn't fix anything. I tried with and without the PIT file (one thread specifically warned NOT to use the PIT file, but in the end I tried it anyway - I think I did NOT hit Repartition, so it probably didn't do anything...).

-Heimdall doesn't seem to work at all for me. I found version 1.3.1, and the instructions in post 21 of the thread linked above don't seem to apply to this version. I finally figured out that I need to be in the FLASH tab, but I can't add files without the PIT file, it won't let me add the zImage file for recovery (or at least complains that there's no .bin file ending), and when I checked "Repartition", I got the error:

ERROR: Partition corresponding to -21 argument could not be located

Ending session...

Yes, I installed the drivers that came with Heimdall.

-Following other posts with very similar errors, I formatted the SD card in Windows using FAT32 - no change.

-I looked into another thread talking about parted, but I don't have root on that device, and I'm not sure what my boss would think about me rooting his pad... I also don't know enough to figure out which rooted ROMs would go with it - I'm scared enough with the "official stock rom" I'm using :-)

I'm fairly tech savvy, know a little about Linux and have used adb to root my own phone, but otherwise a lot of the things I read here only make enough sense to me to follow the instructions and not get lost.

Maybe there's a different version of Heimdall that I should be using, or maybe I did something else wrong, but I'm sure I followed the instructions here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

(PS, I originally posted this at the end of the thread I mentioned here but did not get an answer - I'm sorry, I had not read the post about not asking questions in that forum, even if it was attached to another post where similar questions were asked and answered, so I'm moving this post here instead.)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlund:
Update:

Found a different Rom in this thread - same situation:

I can flash it, but nothing changes, and I still get the error message I showed. The main change is that this ROM is the first I have found that has the same Sprint boot animation that the tab originally had.

The new information is that once it resets after flashing, it briefly shows a few messages - one said that if failed to wipe the cache, and I think the others showed the same error about /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 but I can't be sure (tried to get video of it, but I was too slow, and it's blurred - I'll try again later to get the exact error messages).

Update 2:

Found yet another ROM in this thread and tried it, and this one doesn't seem to work at all with this tab (tried with and without pit/re-partitioning) - the boot fails and immediately boots into Recovery by itself and shows the following:

Will try to flash the other ROM again to try and get a precise look at its error message...

UPDATE 3:

Flashed the first ROM again - no error message, just the same Samsung logo cycle that freezes briefly and then starts over.

Flashed the second ROM again (the one that has the correct Spring animation), and this time I got the error messages on video.

Still hoping for ideas, but I think I'm at the end of what I can try...

Is it likely or possible that the internal memory got damaged?

I don't know exactly what my boss did to the tab, but he mentioned something about "the cold" meaning Minnesota winter cold - we had about 12 degrees last week, so maybe that's the cause...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
Have you found and tried the EA24 stock flash tool?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlund:
Thanks for the reply!

If that's this file:

Sprint Galaxy Tab EA24 Flasher.zip

Then I have tried the ROM in it with Odin, but not the actual tool that came with it.

I'll see if I can get my boss to give me another shot with it (unless he's already returned it - I've had it for a few days already...).

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmmozey:
has anyone found a solution to this? I am having the exact same issue...

Not sure why or how it happened everything was fine one day and next day wont go past logo and keeps rebooting.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmikebrady:
Same problem here

My P100 started this problem last night, which was the first time it's been turned in in several days. It's fully stock, never had any rooting or flashing performed on it.

Booting into recovery mode shows failed mounts on everything it tries to do, and all the options for recovery also fail - except for "reboot system now", which does reboot it, but then it just sits on the pulsing Samsung logo endlessly. And I do mean endlessly, I let it go four hours last night, after which the battery ran out. Plugged it in after that, and it's right back to the same thing.

Every other thread I've found with this problem listed it as an after-effect of having attempted to flash a new ROM, but that is not the case with mine...

Hoping someone has the answer...

Thanks!

Same exact symptoms, and when I tried CM9 or other ICS ROMs this errors lead into the dreaded "Encryption Unsuccessful" bug.

At this point I'm just trying to get the device to boot consistently.

Did you try to do full restock (include bootloader and repartition)?

or you can try CM9 again with a fixed kernel by cdesai or jt. look at this conversation:

My tab is basically bricked. I have this same issue after putting CM9 on it. Those errors consistently pop up. and thats it.

I guess its a paper weight now.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doonx:
you may try flashing pit file and stock rom with micro SD inserted during flashing. that's what I did to my Samsung GT-I9003 when it failed to read the internal SD. At first, the camera may not work. Just root the device after flashing pit/ROM and do SD Swap Mod (external SD as internal SD).

Not sure if it's gonna work with Galaxy Tab. Give it a try. Hope this helps.

Anything is possible. But no ones done it yet.
[TouchPad General] iamsamsamiam:
I see that the speed of the boot appears to have improved when the animation starts. But I feel like the time spent on the "Cyanogenmod is loading" screen has increased a lot. I feel like the boot animation time remains constant which is about 10-15 seconds (about 2 full loops of the animation) but the load screen time just keeps on increasing.

Tested with full wipes of data, cache and dalivik. On B2.1 the loading screen time was about more than 40 seconds with a few apps installed. On B2.2 the loading screen time was about 25 seconds after fresh install and the time increased to 30+ after I did a titanium backup restore. Boot animation time is still pretty constant. But should my overall boot times increase so much with only a few apps installed?

Samsung Galaxy Captivate ICS | HP TouchPad CM Xron B2.2
[TouchPad General] Leoisright:
Not if you boot a couple times after you install the apps or restore apps. It has to zipalign what you have just installed.

It's quite a bit faster on a clean system. I timed it just under 20 seconds from moboot to homescreen on a consistant basis.
[TouchPad General] iamsamsamiam:
Boot times after a clean install is still getting about 25~seconds on the cyanogenmod loading screen after the 3+ reboot. And that's still on top of the boot animation time.

I've only been noticing the long loading screen after B2.1. Before that the loading screen is displayed for a couple seconds before it would enter the boot animation.

I just did another full wipe with dalvik, then formatting each partition manually then doing another factory wipe before installing B2.2. And I'm still getting terrible boot times. I'm still getting about 25~ seconds on the loading screen with nothing else installed. The time spent in the boot animation is still great at about 10 seconds. So my start to finish boot with nothing installed on top of the ROM is about 45 seconds.
[TouchPad General] iamsamsamiam:
I just reverted back to the CM Alpha 3.5. The boot time has returned to normal. I spend only about 15 seconds on the Cyanogenmod loading screen before the boot animation instead of 40+ with B2.2.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmgeekben:
After checking lots of other recent posts, nothing has come close to the problems I'm having.

Nexus S (of course), i9020T, running CM7 before the trouble started. In order to load the OTA update I tried to flash back to stock 2.3.6. Flashed to 2.3.6 successfully (quickly went through setup process on 2.3.6, just to check.)

Then went back onto clockwork mod to install the ICS update. update went very quickly and I then tried rebooting the phone. Just get the ICS boot screen on an endless loop. Start the phone in fastboot mode, but now can't get to recovery (get "dead droidbug" image). Device doesn't show up when connected with USB on Mac, Windows or Linux. Ran ADB on computer and it says the device is not connected. Tried using Unbrickable, didn't detect the device. HOWEVER, when connected to Windows it shows up as "Android 1.0" in device manager, but says that there are no drivers isntalled for it, and none of the drivers from Android SDK work.

Device can still charge from USB, and I can get to fastboot on the device itself. If I can some how get the device to show up on USB I know I'd be set. Any thoughts?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZiggSVO:
i made this suggestion in another thread just a bit ago. I would try to slip a knife or something else thin under the tab in the phones usb port and push it up just a bit. My device was not being recognized or anything on my pc but would charge just fine. I did the afore mentioned and it works like a charm now. :)

other than that can't you push a recovery img through a terminal emulator on your phone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmgeekben:
I was able to connect to USB only a few minutes before this whole problem started, I even copied my backup folder from the device on to my computer. After the update, the drive disappeared.

On Windows it will appear as "Android 1.0" but says that drivers aren't installed, and the drivers installed from either Samsung or the Android SDK do not work for the device. I also tried using Odin as well as Unbrickable, which showed that it was connected, but failed when I tried pushing an image that way and said "Device not found".

I can get the device into Download mode in addition to fastboot, but neither can be recognized.

My phone did exactly the same connect very rarely and then only briefly, adb , fastboot and usb ( even sdcard on CWM) not working. I tried almost everything, even format all .....and then broke all....works only bootloader and CWM ...but what did not work anything ( adb, fastboot, usb) - I decided to go for repair because it was in warranty. Three weeks have passed since it is repaired....but they said that I will get back shortly. If you see that you can not do anything .... Think it take to repair....

When you start to have problems with usb will not take long and the phone will become unusable ! Get it repaired as quickly as you can , even if it's unlocked bootloader , if it have warranty will fix it....Good luck !
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmgeekben:
Surdu, I think you're right. I have arranged to have Samsung check it out, if they do wind up charging me for the repair hopefully it won't be too much.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
that dead droidbug image is stock recovery. update your drivers(pdanet is an easy way how), fastboot a recovery, access the usb option in your newly flashed custom recovery, load a rom unto your sd storage, WIPE, then flash the rom. i think your problem was that you didnt wipe before flashing the ics rom. it was a big step between gingerbread and ics, you usually want to wipe when roms are that different.
