Hi All,
Sorry about the vague title but wasn't sure how to word it.
In a nutshell, i play an online game (madden mobile) which is obviously linked to my phones hardware. I messed it up and need to start again but can't as it always forces the original player i created as it knows the phone i'm guessing.
I have tried re-flashing my ROM (ARHD 34) with a full wipe but it still goes back to my orginal game login. I've tried flashing rom and using different google account, still no good.
Any suggestions? Whatever this game is using to validate my device - is there anyway to change it??
EDIT: Tried spoofing a different MAC address and that didn't work either.
Thanks for any help.

Are you sure it's not linked to your google account ?
I guess you are looking for device id
It can be backup and restore by titanium backup
Give a try

I created a new google account and used that on a fresh rom install and still recognised my old game.

Sorry i don't quite get what you mean?
I changed Android_ID number and that didn't work. Is device id different?

Whenever you do a system back up with Titanium Backup it also back ups your device ID. Which is what I lot of things use to save data to accounts. For example, if you flash a new rom and restore the ID you won't have to reconnect to a bluetooth device cause it already recognizes that device. So the game should regonize the same device as before even if you have a different rom.

As with all programs such as the toolkit and playing with system files Mike the developer of the program recommends a full backup before you start playing - just in case. (So do I, always) That way you don't lose your setup that you have worked on so hard...
The camera mods do not wipe or affect the phone in any way, at least not when I applied them, but things can go wrong, so that's why you back up

Thanks, for a full backup of my system, application, settings, launcher settings, messages and so on, what i have to do exactly? Also partition and other important stuff if i don't remind/know now. Partition, SD Card, things like that, a complete backup of device i intend.
There's no need to this? I don't want to risk anything

Nandroid backup is included in the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit so use that. Everything is backed up by that - you can even get really clever and extract sms mms etc. from the nandroid (for example here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370349) if that is what you mean by messages. Surely your emails will be on your email server, contacts in your google account as extra backup even though the nandroid will contain them? Unless you do something really radical, like fully wipe the SOC, partition etc doesn't enter into it...

hi, i unlocked my phone, but... where i can find what it was of my interests? camera enhancements. Where i can find it, in the toolkit 7.4?
ok, it was on mods section of the toolkit
For some reason right now search is not working (at least that's what it tells me) so forgive me if this has been asked.
Here are some background
It worked fine with Rom's previous build
Currently running backup as I tested a Rom and came back to frosty
When I log on to Google Play it just does not think I have this particular device (it recognizes my tablet)
Is thier some sort of way to fix this. Is this a Rom issue? Is their some sort of script i can change on my phone to make it work?
(its not related but it would also be cool to tell Google play i have a device that is widely supported of issues like gameloft games or tegra only games IDK)
I also find this happens to me often when i use an AOSP based rom and it just so happens that i tested an AOSP Rom before coming back to current rom.
I really don't want to reinstall the Rom unless its necessary, (i always find its easier but takes much longer to manually as i either don't know how to use titanium correctly or i always choose an option to backup that messes up when i try tio restore.) also I do not remember if it worked with this Roms current build version 11.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and I hope to figure this out.

Is your phone and your tab signed in under two different gmail accounts? Maybe its something that needs to be changed from the website end of things. Try logging on to play store and changing the device type in settings maybe? I have been using play store on my phone for a while so I don't even really remember it on PC lol these were just the first things that came to mind after reading your question. Hope this helps

Hey guys,
I would like to start by apoligizing if there is a thread relating to this issue, but i have searched the forums and couldn't find a solution. The problems i am having is that Google just will not sync on my phone ATT Galaxy S3. I lost all contacts, google play, and google talk. nothing is working anymore.
Recently i tried to install "freedom" on the phone to get free in app purchases. then installed localepicker. now removed the locale picker and the freedom app and i am not sure if this is what caused the problem.
I dont know alot about all this rooting and flashing and stuff like that... i rooted the phone a very simple way from this website just to get game gaurdian on the phone to mess around with games.
So if anybody could helo with my problem thta would be excellent.
Thank you very Much.

When you go in settings and add account, do you get an error? Also, do you set it to manually sync or automatic?
Did it randomly stop or it was after flashing?

Can not establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues Call Customer Servic .
Thats is the message that I keep getting. And i noticed it this morning after I deleted all that freedom/locale pocket stuff. The Internet still works, it's just it refuses to sync the Google account.
Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

When you look at your signal, is it grey? When it is colored (blue most of the time), then it's connecting with Google, if grey, it's not.
I did a little google search (can go a long way ) and found a few solutions:
1- Just restart the phone without the SIM card, and connect to some WiFi network, so you can login to your Google Account. It will log you into the account, and then you can put the SIM card back.
2- Add YouTube app and login with gmail account
Go into Gmail App and add account if needed.
Sign into Gmail account wither username and password
Go through login process
3- Hard reset your phone. You will lose all information that is currently on your phone when you do this.
Select Settings -> Security -> Factory Data Reset
Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.

Tried step #1 and #2. None of these work. Just a quick question before Itry step #3 . Will it cause to brick my phone? The only reason I am asking is because the phone is rooted, by one of the methods on this site. That is my only worry, will anything happen if I do it that way or doni have to go threw Odin and that whole process again? Once again thanks for the help.

You can go in recovery and make a nandroid backup. That will make a flashable image of your phone which you can get back to if something goes wrong.

Fantastic.... all your ideas did nothing...
Still experiencing the same problems. same error message. its like its blocking my phone from syncing. Maybe i deleted a file. I think the best bet would be to flash a whole new ROM or reboot the whole phone, and make it a fresh one.

Do a backup and go back to stock. See if it works there. If not, it's a problem with your carrier, maybe even your sim card.
ok so heres what has happened. I dropped and broke my Sprint Gs3 scrren + digitizer. Luckily i was on someone elses plan at the time, so i simply created a new plan in my name and got a replacement Gs3 that way. (since the plan i was on had no insurance).
The problem im having is with only 1 app in particular. Its a game called Guilty Dragon, and its only in Japanese. i didnt know until i broke the first phone, that all my character data is stored in 'data/app' folder. the game itself lets you backup you character via logging into twitter, which is supposed to make it easy to migrate your character in situations like this one. Problem is, every time i try to use that twitter function to restore my character data to my new phone, the app crashes. I've already contacted Namco Bandai in Japanese, still no response from them about this. I was hoping there would be some way to get the data/app folder backed up from the original, now broken digitizer, phone, since it is still recognized on my pc with a usb cable. I've tried APK Batch Installer tool v1.5, but it did not back up the data like it said it did, instead it put an empty data folder in the backup directory. Any help, thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated, im on a SPH-L710 with JellyBombRom v13.0.0 , i tried updating to v 15 at first but it was doing the same thing with this app so i thought maybe it was the cause, downgraded to what i had before and still the same problem. I dont think its a problem with the rom though since i even just basic rooted and tried the game before flashing roms and it still also did the same thing.
Is the broken phone rooted? If not, then there's no way you can access the broken phones /data/app directory.
You could potentially try doing an adb backup (Google it) and it may or may not back that up
It your phone is rooted you could also initiate a recovery backup onto the ext sdcard (yes, while the phone is still booted up) and then just advanced restore the data

yes the old phone is rooted, they are both basically the same TWRP recovery with JellyBomb v13.0.0. how am i supposed to do a recovery backup (I'm guessing you mean nandroid) when TWRP needs you to touch it to do so, and my digitizer is broken?

Maybe i should point out that the nandroid is not going to help. I already had a nandroid backup of the old phone, when i restored it on the new phone, data/app was not carried over or not backed up by the nandroid. the app itself works on bluestacks, using the Twitter account migration method, but it just keeps force closing on the phone.

Then you didn't make a proper nandroid or select the right options. A nandroid essentially copies your entire rom and put its in a folder on your sdcard. Either you did something wrong, or the nandroid didn't go right.

Could it also be that the game data is linked to the Android ID (also known as ) of the phone? I know for some games, even if I restored my TiBu backups it wouldn't work because the Android ID changed. I know with TiBu Pro you can change it. I don't think that'd cause the FCs on the app... most likely shoddy programing caused that.

hmm, might be worth buying TiBu pro if i can change it and try that. how would i be able to find my old id though with a broken Digitizer? Only other thing i can think of is that , there were some reports of the twitter backup not working for a few users on the version before last, i Migrated to bluestacks after my first phone broke, using v2.1 of the game, once i got my new phone there was a new apk release for v2.2 of the game, might be causing the twitter migration option to not work again. With TWRP its pretty damn fool proof to make a nandroid, just hit backup, then swipe, and system data boot and recovery are selected choices by default. could it be that The Android ID is conflicting with the nandroid also? i have like 10 nandroid backups i can try from, only tried 2 so far, maybe ill try a few more.

Open your backup and go to /data/data/package-name-of-game-here/ and check to see if that directory even exists and if there are files there.
Hey, is there a way to restore my messages from google drive?
I uploaded backup, made an update and I can't restore it becouse "device is not active" -_-.
The only thing that is different is software version.

Yes, it is possible to restore your messages from Google Drive if you have previously backed them up. If you're receiving a message saying that your device is not active, here are a few things you can try:
1. Make sure your phone is properly connected to the internet
2. Try logging out of your Google account and logging back in
3. Check if you are using the same Google account that you backed up your messages with
4. Try restarting your phone and then attempting to restore your messages
5. Check if you have given necessary permissions to the app to access your Google Drive backup
If none of the above works and you are still unable to restore your messages from Google Drive, try contacting Google support for further assistance.
