used team win manual recovery method since revelationary failed me at that stage. I got everything to work, but google (gmail specifically) won't authenticate... is there any simple fix to this problem?
Try clearing the data on the gmail app and rebooting. Or since you have root you can boot into recovery and clear cache and davlik cache and see if that helps. If not then log into your gmail account via pc then try logging into your account on your mobile.

I have done things multiple times as suggested. Still to no avail. Any other possible ideas?

i have two factor authentication turned on and this requires an application specific password to be setup for each instance android wants to log into your google account. when i ran revolutionary, their methods are *secret* so i can't explain why, it reset my google account passwords. with the two factor authentication it took me a little bit longer to create another application specific password for the android device.
otherwise, once you wipe the data folder for gmail, gmail will essentially be clean and restored to a brand new state. all data settings for gmail should be kept on the /data partition in its specific /data/data directory.
worse case scenario, create a nandroid so you have everything backed up and then start removing setting files on /data. best case scenario, you're able to wipe out only gmail settings and it resets it so the point you're able to log in again.
usually, gmail authentication is linked to your google account authentication for the whole android device. contacts, calendars and gmail should all use the same google account authentication. if you're still experiencing issues, you might want to wipe the account settings to allow it to start fresh, which should also be stored on the /data partition.
best of luck!

He has just got a Hero - but is having an issue setting up Google syncing.
He has created a Google account and uploaded all his contacts there. He now wants the phone to connect and sync with Google.
I have ( over the phone ) talked him through 'Settings>Data synchronisation>Google' - it then asks him to enter his Google account details.
Once he has done this - it connects to Google for awhile, and then says it can't continue because of a bad connection.
We tried this with Mobile data - and then with WiFi ( we checked that both of these would load browser pages - which was fine ).
Any ideas?
cheers
There often seem to be issues setting up Google sync after the phone has already been set up.
My advice would be to try wiping the device to return it back to factory settings, and then set up Google sync via the initial set up wizard.

How do you wipe it? Just set it back to factory defaults?
If you've a custom recovery image, you can use that to wipe the device after having made a Nandroid backup.
If you have the stock recovery image, it's "Menu" -> "Security" -> "Factory data reset".

I use the HTC mail app to get imap Gmail and Yahoo. Since yesterday I am getting a Login Failure on my Gmail account. Yahoo is still working. I tried re-entering my login and password, but it fails. Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have an idea for a fix? Relevant rom/kernel info in sig. Thanks.
try changing your password i have had something similar happen to me and that is how i fixed my problem aslo try and wipe the data in the app and then try you email accounts again
I've had this happen before and changed the password as you suggested and it worked, however, I'd rather not have to change everytime this happens. Also, I cannot clear data or cache even after force stopping the app.
Thanks for your help.
yeah i dont blame you for not wanting to change your password all the time.what does it do when you try to wipe the data?
Might try going into application settings/gmail and clearing the data...worth a shot.
not resolved, wiping everthing, install new rom, reset password...
You could also verify that the settings are correct, go to mail app and setting and account settings and just go through and verify all is well, I myself have had on occasion login issues and going through the settings seemed to cure the issue

Are you using HTC mail apk or the gmail apk? and I assume your data connection is ok.
Signature (Don't ask me for help, couldn't careless if your phone explodes)
HTC mail apk is working well. Facing problem with gmail apk, play store and talk. Data connection is OK
Are all the permissions correct? Did you flash a Rom and this started? or have you been using your current rom for awhile? Do you use titanium backup?
Signature (Don't ask me for help, couldn't careless if your phone explodes)
All permissions are correct. I flashed cooldroid 7.0 after this, that problem is started. Then I went back to CM9 but still nothing happened, reflash Fallout, ICE DS
but nothing. Use titanium backup to restore but it stuck on sync. Infact make a new gmail address but didnt signin. Now when I open Play store from my PC it stuck
on connecting to server.
Before I installed this new ROM (Liquid Smooth 1.9), I made a system backup using Titanium.
When the new ROM was up and running, I tried the Email client. It asked for my details, so I used Titanium to restore only the Email app user app and system data, in hope it would bring it all back
I am still presented with a login screen after the "restore" but after entering the email address (a Hotmail account) and password, it just checks incoming settings forever.
If I try to add the account manually (Corporate), the app stops responding after I've entered all the manual details and tap Next.
I have forced the app to close and re-opened it, and I have restarted the phone. Same issues.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately I dont have an answer for you. I have the same problem but worse. I restored the 'system' email client. And now after booting the phone freezes completely after about 20 seconds. Who would have thought the email client would be so integral to the system...
Never, ever, restore any system app or system data unless on the exact same version e.g EMG4, even then I wouldn't bother. Restoring from another version will almost certainly break the framework.
Only solution is to wipe and reflash your whole Rom.

It was the same version for my model just blacked out.
Couldnt even restore from Titanium the original app. Email as a sys app?... My Google voice is also sys. Wth?
Anyway I wiped and installed a third party email app. Its the stock rom so I couldnt reflash it.
Either way its ok b/c I like this email app better.
Thanks for the help.
Hey,
today I needed to turn off my phone to swap battery. On turning it back on, my Google account wasn't there anymore, a notification said "due to changes to your account you have to sign in again". But signing it just won't do it. It doesn't fail, I come to the accepting terms and conditions, but when accepting the app just closes, the account isn't created so it seems that whatever app is responsible for that just crashes for no reason without any notification. The strange things: in the process I can see only the arrow in the bottom right, not the words "next" or "accept" (at the last page), only when I tap on them I can see them. And I had no accounts.db under /data/system/users/0. Now I have that file via TB restore. And I now see, after reflashing my ROM (by wiping /system, cache and dalvik-cache in TWRP and flashing the ROM) that I also have under /data a system_ce (with accounts_ce.db) and system_de (with accounts_de.db and accounts_de.db-journal), but I don't know if I had them before the TB restore or the ROM reflashing (having english (US) and german (germany) as system languages).
No solution form anywhere else was helpful. I froze AdAway with TB, deleted /system/etc/hosts, deleted data from PlayStore and PlayServices with multiple reboots and the mentioned reflashing, nothing seems to help.
I'm running Emotion ROM based on CM 14.1 on my Note 4 N910F with latest modem and bootloader I can find. Since I don't know how far that could be ROM or CM related, I'm posting that problem here. I have absolutely no problems logging in with my account on my desktop PC via browser, even logging in on google.com from chrome on the phone is no problem. But filling in the infomation either initiated over system settings -> accounts or by opening PlayStore, I pass everything but the account is not under the accounts section and PlayStore would just open again with the login page.
Anyone any idea how to fix it? Here is a logfile of me trying to log in.
UPDATE: Just did a TWRP restore. Did not help! Going to ask Google meanwhile since it might not be a problem with my device...at least if I can find out where to do so.
PS: just looked into my account settings, it seems to recognize that I log in to my device, but that's it. Disconnectiong the device from there and trying again also doesn't work.
Hello, I've been searching endlessly for countless days now, I want to restore my app + app data from my Huawei Y9 Prime (unrootable), to my Moto G Stylus 5G (rooted). I attempted abd backup, but upon restoring it on my new rooted device, it installed/restored absolutely 0 apps, and of course no app data despite it taking awhile to "restore".

I've tried this, and unfortunately it didn't copy anything meaningful. A lot of my apps are installed through apks, and previously I used Huawei's Phone Clone to clone my old phone, and when it finished, everything on my new phone was exactly how it was on the old one, and that's what I'm trying to achieve here. But so far I've had no luck in doing so.
Edit: By "nothing meaningful", I meant it literally copied everything EXCEPT all my apps and their data. In which is said "196/196 apps failed". No further information or anything.
Pretty all I need is to get all my app's data from root/data/data, and transfer it.
