First problem:
A few days ago i changed my gmail PW. Now the android features on my phone don't work. When I'm prompted to enter my PW, i get a network connection error message. I've tried 'force stopping' the gmail, and google apps, turning 3g on/off, without any luck. Toying with this issue has been testing my patience. I'm hoping to find a solution before i perform a hard reset.
Second problem:
I've had the phone for over a year running 2.2.X CM6.X. Since 2.3.X released, I wanted to manually update to gingerbread but i keep getting the 'error 7' code. I've looked around on the forums for solutions: reverting to an unmodified build followed by 'update.zip'
Specs:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernal Version 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod
Mod Version: Cyanogenmod-6.1.1-N1
Build: FRG83D
The phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked. I'm a noob with the android.

Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync Settings
Tap on your Gmail account
You will see a 'Remove Account' button - Hit that
Your phone should now have no account associated with it
Do a reboot (not really necessary though)
Back in the Accounts & Sync Settings, Add a gmail account by hitting 'Add account' button
That should take care of Problem #1
Problem #2:
Get the zip from the OTA here
Boot into recovery and do a Nandroid backup
Wipe Data + everything
Wipe again
Flash the OTA ZIP you downloaded
Reboot into phone
Once rebooted, setup your Google account again
You should be back in business

Thanks for the reply chetanthaker.
1. I don't have gmail as a separate item under sync. i use the default email client for both yahoo/gmail. When i try to remove my gmail account, it says i can only get rid of it by restoring to factory default.
2. I'm not sure where the issue is but even after i did a hard reset i can't login with my google account (the one i changed my PW to) nor the new account i made to verify if the issue is with my phone or accounts. Let's say i manage to update the to Gingerbread, won't i still have the same issue logging into my G account?
1. If you say you do not have a separate Gmail account on the list, that means your phone is not really connected to Google (in it's real sense) - So forcibly closing Gmail and the other Gapps won't really have any effect. (I'm assuming when you have a data connection, your EDGE/3G/WIFI icons do not really turn green from the regular white.
When you first configure your phone, you should ideally configure your gmail account first (so you get access to Market and the other stuff as well). You can then disable Sync on Gmail and add 2 accounts in the default mail app to send/recv email.
Do a Nandroid and get rid of all the accounts (may do a factory reset)
Start with adding a google account and you should be set.
2. You will not have that problem unless you Wipe your data via recovery. All that will happen is you will start fresh with adding your primary Google account

so far i've tried the following (without success):
- removing all accounts from sync list (except the main google account which i can't remove unless i do a factory restor).
- toggle 3g/2g
- logging in with a new google account
- attempt to login via Wi-fi without SD card and/or sim card
- trying old passwords (i thought i might have been entering the wrong PW, but i verified by logging into my gmail account; i'm sane)
- holding my breath and crossing my fingers
- performing a wipe of the phone memory (still can't login with either new or old google account).
Logging into youtube (linked google account) won't work b/c im in china. Initially i thought the hiccup would be due to china's great wall, but i've used this phone here for 8 months and changed my google PW successfully in within. I'm truly at a loss.
I'm still getting emails via default email program (yahoo/gmail accounts).
The internet works
Whatsapp works
And most importantly angry birds still works.
Maybe if i can find a way to update to Gingerbread, this issue will miraculously disappear.
Hi.
Did you try removing the Email app from the Device Administrators?
Maybe that's the reason why you are unable to un-link your Gmail account
Settings > Location and Security > Device Administrators
Uncheck the Email app (screenshot) and try

i don't have the option for my email under device admin list :/
the really odd thing is, i can't log in to my TF101 either...even after restoring back to factory settings. I'm convinced its either Google or China that's punishing me.
Well, with you wanting to update, are you wanting to update to a stock Gingerbread version, or to CyanogenMod's Gingerbread version?
If it is the latter, just go download the latest version 7.1.0. The best way to upgrade is to backup all your apps and app data with an app like Titanium Backup. Then perform a nandroid backup (basically a snapshot of your current system) and wipe the /system partition and perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. Then install CM7 and the latest gapps (found from http://goo-inside.me/gapps) and reboot the phone. Once you are in, try to add your google account back to the phone (hopefully it works with a completely blank slate). Then connect to the market and get Titanium Backup back and restore all your apps and app data.
I'm not sure if it's a default security feature from google, but 24 hours after i changed my password and it let me login to my account again...However i'm having issues logging into Gtalk.
Thanks for all your help. Now let's see if i can get it running Gingerbread!
Guys,
I was trying to follow: [NST]Manual Rooting, ADB, Gapps (1.1), etc
It’s recommended to post into forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748, but somehow it won’t let to post there either.
>log in on YouTube (click settings, my channel) and
>log in the Gmail account you used on YouTube, both accounts must be the same.
>It will fail to sync and force close.
It won’t let me login to YouTube - keep getting error 400.
Not sure if I mistyped password.
How do I edit account used for YouTube now?
Supposed to be: Menu > Settings > Accounts & sync > Click Youtube Account
But it takes me to Nook setting instead.
Anyway to edit it manually, via adb shell?
I've figured it out.
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
I have a NST with firmware 1.21 that was rooted with NookManager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040351) and further updated with NTGappsAttack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086582). Whenever WiFi is on, it automatically syncs to my Gmail account. I cannot figure out how to turn the syncing off. I only want to use the NST to read B&N and Kindle books.
As a newbie on this site, I am not allowed to post this question in the above threads.
Go into GMail and add an account using your same GMail address. Instead of adding it a second time it will open up the account and sync settings where you can turn off GMail, Calendar and Contacts sync.

Solution worked perfectly. Thanks so much for sharing your NTGAppsAttack and the instructions for installing it. The only place where I had difficulty was with instruction 4-Unzip the NTGAppsAttack zip file into the the root of your NookManager microSD card. I didn't realize it had to replace the "custom" folder already on the card. Once I renamed the original "custom" folder and installed the NTGAppsAttack "custom" folder, the installation went flawlessly.
I would love to get the NY Times app to work. It downloads and installs OK, but it crashes as soon as I open it.
Device Details:
Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, Software v. 1.1.5
Process:
I have been following Instructions on: blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/05/28/how-to-root-nook-glow-using-glownooter-includes-googles-app-market/[/url]
Progress:
I created the recommended backup, installed GlowNooter root, and connected to WiFi (which I have confirmed through the browser app)
Problem:
I opened YouTube and attempted to sign into my google account and received an error message. I tried to open the amazon market app, to obtain Titanium Backup to fix the issue but "content could not be downloaded because of a network connectivity error." I have verified again that I am connected to the WiFi and that it is working (on the nook). Going back into YouTube now causes the YouTube app to crash and returns me to the nooter home screen.
Notes:
Some part of the login process did work because my gmail recognizes my username.
Also, since I was stuck and frustrated, I tried to refresh my email (to see if it worked) gmail crashed. Now when I click on gmail it automatically tries to refresh itself and crashes every time.
I am hoping to avoid having to activate my backup.. but do not know how to proceed. I would be grateful for some assistance.
FWIW I just re-rooted my NST recently (after upgrading from 1.1.2 to 1.2.1) using the rooting tool Nook Manager, then I used NTGAppsAttack to install (Google) Market, GMAil, ... apps. I found the combo of these two tools to be far easier to use than the other available rooting tools which I had tried and had used when I first rooted my NST a few years back (Nook Manager did not exist then).
If you plan to use Nook Manager you'd have to activate your backup -- or, better yet, use Nook Manager to reset to factory-fresh stock for a guaranteed clean-start for your 2nd rooting attempt (which was what I did in my 2nd iteration).
