EXCHANGE ISSUE: Failed to create the account. Please try again later

Any one know how to force a simple pin on EVO 4g manually. I am unable to sync with my exchange server, as EVO 4g is not supporting PIN and not prompted me for the pin option either. I had everything working fine but after doing hardreset i am unable to sync with my exchange server.
Has any else seeing this issue?
Thanks,
KITO

My wife received the same error when setting up her exchange account. Her company also requires a security pin.
The interim solution for her was to download Exchange for 2.0 by Touchdown. It seems to have ignored the security pin requirement , though the interface is a little hard to work with. K-9 didn't work either. Haven't tried Moxier, yet.
Her old Hero with Fresh 2.1.1 (Android 2.1) was able to sync with her exchange account and configure a security pin. I wonder if the htc mail application from that rom would run under the htc framework on the evo?

Same exact issue after a hard reset!!!!
This is not an exchange issue, it is an HTC issue with activesync. Try to use the ActiveSync parameters to log into gmail. http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
It doesn't work!!! This SUCKS!

Thanks for the tip. We tried going through the process again in case we were in the same situation as you (several times in fact), but no luck. We even tried setting up her exchange account using htc mail on my phone (we both have Evo's). It did not work on either of our Evo's.
I think it is unlikely that her exchange provider is at fault, since they created exchange. Does your exchange provider require a security pin?
At least there are 3rd party exchange apps that work well.

Failed to create the account. Please try again later
If anyone got this error and make it it work please post the resolution. This works for me one time but after I reset the device it didn't work :-(

I am having the same issue.. Nothing works, not even touchdown. I can see in Touchdown that simple pin is being requested, but there is no way that I have found to set it up. I *think* this is why it is balking.

same error here...any1 know how to fix???

My company upgraded to exchange 2010 and now my EVO won't sync. Getting "Failed to create the account. Please try again later."
It was working just fine before they upgraded from Exchange 2007.

so i got past the account name screen what i did is i just replaced the mail.apk thats in system/app on my EVO 4G with another one from a rom i had in my hard drive
copy attached mail.apk to sdcard root
open ES explorer and go to settings to enable root explorer and file system
go to mail.apk in sdcard and hold tap to edit then copy
now go to system/app and find mail.apk thats already installed, hold and rename to mail.bak (or whatever)
then just tap and hold to copy the new mail.apk and reboot
it worked for me.. hope it works for you

Hi,

The universal fix for the "Failed to create the account please try again later" while adding exchange server on android roms is
1) Add your account in Settings -> Accounts & Sync
2) In the second last step, uncheck all three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
3) Finish the configuration and your account should get created
4) Click on the created account and check back the three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
Hope this help you - I discovered this by chance and it works all the time.

DUDE big up on this I was having a damn tough time figuring this out on my exchange server and its a complex environment

I know this is a old thread but the above did not work .
We had to recreate a user on our Active Directory and Exchange 2010 and when we wiped his HTC Wildfire we cannot setup the exchange account. Keep saying it cannot create the account.
Anybody got any clue all?

apk mail of Samsung Tab

is it possible to install the apk mail of samsung tab the Archos 10.1 or 7.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838078

As per the "other forums", it isnt possible since it directly replaces the existing mail, hence needing a perm root.

This would be sweet.

too bad :-(

Surely someone could recompile the app with a different name exactly as they did with the recent gingerbread apk which can be installed without root.
Any takers?!

with the root perhaps ?

I tried replacing my email.apk with the samsung one(i have rooted sde), and all it does is force close as soon as I try to launch it. Must need some samsung libraries or something.

That is too bad.
I feel that the onlyu missing good app on the A101 is in fact the email client.
I would love o use the tablet for work, but the stock email client is very bad, and all the others i have tried are also very bad for a daily use. The app that best fits in the Touchdown email client, but it is so badly designed.
I would love to have one email client with full features of exchange, that would feel as clean as the samsung email client or even the iPad email client.
If someone finds one like this, please let me know ...

Have managed to get this working on my Archos 101IT, running sauron's Urukdroid 4.1 root. I followed the instructions given by LOstSOul over at the ArchosFans forum:
If you want to give it a try you must move the existing /system/app/Email.apk to /system/app.old (or delete it)
Then download this zip file:
http://downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve/tabmail.zip
Note: I did not build this at all and take no credit for building it. I found this package here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/dell- ... nt-beta-2/
you must extract the zip file on your PC and then copy the 3 files in the extracted system\app directory into your \system\app directory on your archos vi ADB with Root or get it on the SD card and then move it using a terminal program. Once you have the three files in the /system/app directory just reboot and you will have the new email client.
It will use any existing email accounts that you have from the old email app but they may have some strange issues. If you notice anything weird remove the account and re-add it.

Didn't see this posted here on XDA yet, so apologies if it has been already.
As stated above, these instructions originated elsewhere, and I am in no way taking any credit for this.
However, as you can see from the screenshot attached, doesn't quite work as well on the 101 - app was coded for 7" screen after all!

Another good reason to root the device... gonna spend this weekend on this. Thks for the news

[Q] Can't find or re-install HtcFacebook app

Hi,
I am running Virtuous Sense 2.0.0, but since installing that MOD, I can't find the HtcFacebook App any more in my system.
Somehow HTC Facebook it must be still in the system, because the APK is in the system/app folder and I can add an account for HTC Facebook in the settings/accounts section. And that account then also syncs my Facebook-Contacts into the Contacts/People App.
But I can't find the Icon anywhere and I can't use/start the application, nor re-install it by any means.
To make things even weirder, the downloads app just told me, that it downloaded an update of 410kb dated 22.07.11
When I try to install that, it says, that this is a System Application, and when I confirm it lists the permission requests and when I hit "install" the progress bar comes up for a second followed by "application not installed".
When I try to do it manually, it fails too:
I opened the Terminal, typed in su to get root permissions. I went to /system/app and tried to install the HtcFacebook.apk from there typing
pm install -r HtcFacebook.apk
It fails with:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
when I go to /sdcard/downloads and try the same with the downloaded HtcFacebook.apk I get the same Error-Message.
I also tried ASTRO and FileExplorer in both directories with the same result.
Also using ADB commands failed.
Googling the error messages didn't get me any further than what I mentioned above. Now I am quite helpless...
Any help appreciated.

Nobody? Everybody who is running Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 is having no problems with the HtcFacebook App?

HTCFacebook is just the integrated facebook thing. If you want the facebook app back, you'll have to go to the market and find Facebook.
Here is a link to the market page, which you can install it from
-Nipqer

I know there is another Facebook App in the market available. But it does not have the same features as the HTC version. Before I installed Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 my original Stock ROM had an HTC Facebook App and after I downloaded and installed the regular Facebook App I had TWO Facebook Apps available.
Now, after flashing the Virtuous Sense ROM, I am stuck with only the one from the Market. But for several reasons, I want to have the HTC variant back. And there must be a way, since even the Downloads-App is telling me, that an update for it is available:
-------------------------
HtcFacebook.apk
synergy-base.googlecode.com
Ready 410 KB 22.07.11
-------------------------
Unfortunately trying to install the update just produces an error.
Am I really the only one missing the HTC Facebook App and the respective Icon to access it?
Tronar

Instead of installing it do this
cd to where ever your adb is located (mine is c:/androidsdk/platform-tools)
place the HTCfacebook.apk you want in that folder and type this:
Code:
adb remount
adb push HTCfacebook.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
Should replace the current HTCfacebook.apk and you will possible get your facebook app back.

Thank you for the tip. I tried that. I copied the new HtcFacebook.apk from the /sdcard/downloads/ location to /system/app/ using Root-Explorer
I also set the correct rights (rw-r--r-- like all the other .apk-Files in the same folder) and the correct ownership (root and root)
Then I rebooted, but nothing changed.
My feeling is, that I need to Install the .apk-File, not just drop it someplace.

could try 'adb install HTCFacebook.apk'

As mentioned in my first post, I tried all kinds of ADB commands.
Code:
adb install HtcFacebook.apk
was one of them. All install attemps fail with the error message mentioned above.
I tried it again right now, here is the result:
Code:
adb install HtcFacebook.apk
1299 KB/s (499112 bytes in 0.375s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/HtcFacebook.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
My guess is, that somehow the certificate system is a little buggy with Virtuous Sense 2.0.0. Maybe the signing of the packages is therefore not recognized.
I get the same Error Message when trying to re-install the HtcFacebook.apk that was already in /system/app. I mean that package should be signed correctly, since it came with the ROM, shouldn't it?

According to HTC:
What’s the difference between Facebook app and Facebook for HTC Sense?
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone app. It is integrated in People, Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their status updates, shared links, and photos) in these apps.
The Facebook app is a standalone app. Use this app to do most of the things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s web browser to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and sending Facebook messages.
The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook app and vice versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login credentials.
Note: If you have more than one Facebook account, you may sign in to the Facebook app using your second account, since the Facebook app does not share the same login credentials as Facebook for HTC Sense.

I hope that clears everything up for you. I used to think they were two different applications that did the same thing, but they are actually two separate things. The HTC part only integrates Facebook into the rest of the phone environment.

Wow, that is weird. Thanx for digging up that information. It must be new, because I swear with the old Stock ROM I had TWO Facebook-Applications on my HTC Desire Z. Maybe they changed it for the Gingerbread 2.3 Upgrade?
I noticed one effect after copying the new HtcFacebook.apk into the /system/app folder: I had lost all my Facebook-Contacts in the Contacts app and had to re-add the Htc Facebook Account and refill the Login & Password Fields in Settings->Accounts & Synchronization to bring them back.
Nonetheless, all of this does not explain, why the automatic Update of the HtcFacebook.apk from the Downloads-app just fails to install. Is this a bug in the Downloads-App, because System-Apps are never supposed to be installed automatically? Or does this just apply for the HtcFacebook.apk? I can't test it out with other apps, because the HtcFacebook.apk is the only one, that every appeared in the Downloads-App so far.

Same problem with Facebook fro HTC Sense
I am experiencing the same problem after installing a new ROM to my HTC Desire.
This ROM works well and brings Android 2.3.3 and HTC Sense 2.1 yet I cannot find neither the "Facebook" app nor the "Facebook for HTC Sense" widget.
Each time I download the Facebook app from the market and launch it I get an error message telling me that "processocom.facebook.katana" got interrupted and when I try to launch the "HtcFacebook.apk" I get the message "Application not installed".
I cannot sort it out...

To install the HTC Facebook could you not just flash the rom over the top again?

What did you do when you flashed onto this new ROM? Which ROM is it, and have you used it previously? Did you flash a ROM cleaner of some sort?

I installed this ROM: AceSMod007 taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070
It is the first time I use this one (previously I tried MIUI, LeeDroid, InsertCoin)
I followed all instructions... I mean I wiped data, cache etc etc. then I installed the ROM and performed a Titanium Backup restore.
Yet when I was checking out the Facebook application I noticed those problems that I highlighted and I started looking for a possible cause and solution to that.

When you did the Titanium restore, did you restore system apps or system data?

I restored both them.
Now I tried delating the account under Settings->Account Sync and installing and de-installing the App from the market.
Then I recreated the account into Settings and the synchronization seems to work.
On FriendStream widget now I see FB updates too.
I tried to put on the FB widget (the Facebook for HTC Sense interface seems to be missing yet).
This looks like being hung on "Updating states..." although it takes me to the app when I click on it.

have you tried extracting the .apk file from the rom itself and installing?
if the rom is a zip file (it most probably is), the apks are usually found in one of the folders (maybe /data). extract the zip and look for the directory where all the apks are stored, and perhaps you can re-install just the programs you want.
hope this works.

I previously tried installing HtcFacebook.apk but as a result I got a message "Application not installed"
Now the standard Android FB widget seems to work too...
No traces of Facebook for HTC Sense though
Weird...

How do you launch the HtcFacebook.apk? Do you still have an icon for it? Because I don't!
And as dkmurphys found out, according to HTC, they seem to have intentionally given up their HtcFacebook App with the latest Stock-ROM update to Gingerbread 2.3.3
So HtcFacebook.apk is only still showing in the list of Apks to provide the background services for the HTC Widgets, like the FriendStream Widget for example.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17337557&postcount=563

I installed it yesterday, but could not login nor create a blur account. This will solve the problem? Just change it and save? Do i have to reboot?
Thanks a lot! If i can't login in the motoblur, i think i gonna try CM7 RC1.5. Stock rom with no Blur functions have nothing to offer to me.
Update:
Changed, rebooted and still the same issue. Blur ask me to try again latter...

I'm using ms2ginger 1.0, installed yesterday night. The host entry in build.prop let's me login, I can access Twitter/Facebook in universal Messages app and set social status. I can't browse updates from friends etc though. Is this related?
[edit]
Social Networking retrieved some updates from Facebook then stopped, weird.

Ms2ginger is rom based on leaked china Milestone 2 rom build (4.5.3 - 63)
This tip is rom Based on Leaked ginger 4.5.1-134 (MB526)
sorry, i don`t speak English well

Ok, it seems to be problem with ms2ginger. I'm using 4.5.1.-134 now and your changes didn't work. I copied same entries from ms2ginger build.prop and it works now. Had to create new account though.

thx, will try it out, some guys in germany reported, that they got blur-message on mb525 flashed to 526 that their blur-account will be deactivated because of using unofficial rom

Update: with said build.prop, Facebook works and Twitter doesn't (Twitter account error, sometimes it doesn't throw errors but doesn't update anyway). Didn't test other social networks.

editing build.props
I'm trying to patch up my build.props and have got as far as connecting to my phone via adb. However I keep getting permission denied. I seem unable to 'su' to change the permissions on the file or remount.
Is there a simple guide to editing this file? I've tried searching the forums, but nothing jumps out at me.
Thanks

Terminal Emulator
I managed to figure it out by using Terminal Emulator available for free from the market place.
1. Edited the file on my pc and then copied it onto the sdcard on the phone.
2. Used terminal emulator to remount the file system as writeable and backed up / copied over the build.prop.
Afterwards I remounted as readonly and rebooted, managed to get a motoblur account and facebook appears to be syncing.

If I make the changes in build.prop for these values, I'll be able to create a new motoBLUR account, and all the data sync would work again? I lost my motoBLUR account after receiving a system notice that I was using an unreleased ROM.

With the above build.prop my Facebook contacts sync doesn't work. Posts sync seems to be working though.

Hey Guys!
Using 2.3.4-134, I edited my buildprop file as mentioned above and everything was working fine until my Motoblur news widget stopped syncing 4 days ago... My guess is that Motorola found out that I was using a non-official rom, even with an edited buildprop...
Now there is an official rom (not leaked) for the Defy+, would it be possible to use its official buildprop data to make sure that Motoblur will work?
Thanks for your assistance!

Jelly Bean AOSP Email

Thanks to shiftr182 for sharing the flashable file. I followed his instruction and was able to get AOSP email back on my TW rom.
** I'm only distributing the work that has been done by others **
1. Use a file manager and delete SecEmail.apk and SecExchange.apk from your system [System >> App]
(I use Titanium Backup and made a copy of those two files)
2. Flash the attachment. (I made a nandroid backup just in case)
3. After you reboot, go to you apk manager and clear the data on email and exchange then add your account(s).

Been looking for this apk. Muchas gracias!
Proper job, innum bey.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I had got the email to work using another method from another thread (install app in system>app with root explorer, I also found another way to do it on another thread that I found before I found this one .... after all was done my email unread number said 22 all the time and never changed. I tried everything and nothing fix it.
Found another thread, started fresh, (renamed original email/exchange apts with .bak instead of deleting it) same problem here.... unread count but this time is says 19. Mind you it shows 19 unread emails on the email app icon in the app drawer and when I drag it to the home screen and I did not even set up my emails yet so it would have no way of knowing how many unread emails I have. very odd.
Finally started fresh and flash the zip from this thread which worked now it says 33 unread emails all the time. Can't figure out why this unread email count shows up even without any unread emails.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

Works Great on 4.4.3
Awesome! I've been unable to get corporate email to sync since I got off of a stock ICS ROM. I was still having problems with the latest 4.4.3 ROMs. This solved it. Thanks!
