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.

No you won't brick your phone. Although, make a backup first.

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.

Wow. Ok I totally lost you there. I don't know how to make backups and flash stuff. Guess I'll just try to take off the pics and videos. And start from scratch again. I would love to have the latest JB update w/o all the bloatware that AT&T puts on it, but that a whole other project in itself. Lol Thank you for all your help.

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.

I assumed you reset your phone while it's still locked and you forgot your Google account, is this correct?
If yes, then sadly there's no way to unlock the phone without your former Google account, as far as I know.
This was made by Google to prevent theft on your phone as explained in http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...evice-protection-feature-and-how-do-i-use-it/
And what about people like me who are the phone is locked by mistake?

Try pulling your sim card and resetting again. When it starts up DONT turn on internet.. When you get the "configuring your phone" screen use power and volume up 4 or 5 times then power and volume down 4 or 5 times.. If it doesnt work keep trying. I just randomly pressed the key combinations and it went to a "skip activation" option and bypass google FRP.. (i was stuck on the configuration screen and it didn't give the the chance to log into my account) Once your in ADD YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT TO THE PHONE AND RESET IT AGAIN.. youve just effectively took over the phone. Hope that helps..
First of all, I salute everybody that chips in to this comunity, active or less ! G'day, gents !
And now, to the problem(s) :
I have a stock 16g/2g D855 (Romania/Orange), no root, no tweaks, nothing, except an original battery change couple of months back.
My phone didn't take OTA updates, don't know why, but i've been updating it via PC Suite / Mobile Support Tool.
Last update was 5.0, all was fine.
Now, on the other hand, after the update to 6.0, a small hell broke loose.
First of all, until now, after the power on LG image, i had a small LG animation, now it has changed to some stupid Orange explosion crap + wallpaper. That doesn't bother me that much, but the fact that whatever wallpaper i choose, it changes it back to the Orange one right after restart...
Second, and third, and fourth & fifth ...
QuickCircle apps no longer work (even though they are activated and selected), so my "submarin"ish flip case is useless... Facedetection, no reaction... KnockCode, same thing, doesn't even lock the phone, no matter the security type. I can't even change my Display Off style anymore. Developer Options, gone, not available for this user (altough user is owner) and clicking hundreds of times on build no. doesn't do anything. Notification bar, no kind of available selection on it (like wifi or data, etc), except user & the notification button in the button bar doesn't even slide it down. Plus a couple more of these "small unfortunate events" :silly:
But the biggest problem is that when and if i turn on the wifi, the phone almost instantly restarts, and keeps doing so if i'm not fast on the touch and disable it (like split second after finshing boot) and thus becoming an unusable plastic...:crying:
So i've tried reinstalling the update, via Recovery Upgrade two times (all went smooth) but problems are still there. I'm starting to think that this might be a something wrong with the update. Eitherway, main concern is, what do i do now ? Wireless is 30% of my job...
Specifing that i'm pretty much a noobie at this kind of stuff, thank you all for taking the time to read about my problem !:highfive:
the software may be having some issues, i recommend that you download the kdz file for the software and flash it via flashtool, all problems should be fixed and the o2 bloat will be removed.

But doesn't this require root ?
And most of all, won't i lose everything ? Settings, accounts, contacts, data ? Or is there anyway to backup everything ?

It doesn't require root.
But it would certainly wipe everything including your internal sd. The only way is to take a backup using any app and moving the backup files temporarily to a pc or any other external storage.

Ok, seems logical. Any advice about some software that cand do that properly ?
I mean all & all. Accounts, passwords, contacts and so on...because I can't remember my Google account pass (or any other one for that matter) for the life of me, and the maps to the nav app are a pain to dld.
And besides that, can the backup be actually performed, since i can't access the Developer Debug Mode ?

There are many apps on the play store for taking backups. You can use the to take backups of apps, contacts, messages and so on.
However to backup accounts, passwords and app data you require a rooted device and could use titanium backup.

Well then that's out of the question... Having no data plan, any Play Store installation is ruled out, could probably be done via PC Suite.
I've tried using Helium, doesn't do much good. I'm thinking about rooting the phone, but with my luck, i'll probably brick it.
I wonder if there's anyway to find my Google account pass...
L.E. according to devtester, LGD855 MyIMEI A6RRTN D85530C_00 (D85530C_00_0211) is the latest version for it, pretty much the same as my last update. So ,do i re.dld this one and flash it or i go with the D85530B_00_1217 from the Quick Download page ?
L.E.2 : So far i've tried both kdz files mentioned above, plus D85521C_00_1204.kdz (Lollipop). All unsuccesful. In Download Mode, using Flash Tool as is, selecting Normal than Start. The Marshmallows kdz show the exact same problems and Lollipop doesn't even want to install. It goes up tu 4% on Pc (0 on phone) and Retry appears until Exit.
Aw man, the truth MUST be out there...

Thanks for the link, but i managed to somehow solve the problem :good:
ok, so it took some time, but finally figured this bugger out.
For anyone that needs assistance in the future, let me know and i'll support you as much as i can.
It took me 2 crazy noobie a** days, and almost lost everything, but somehow i managed not to.
So, from the start, let me just say that Remember Password on FF was heaven for me.
Mainly, for not losing everything, you definetly NEED to know your Google account. For me it was setup before to back everything up, but somehow, i forgot the pass This is where i used my PC and logged in to G+ (again, thank God for pass remembering) and reset the pass by sms. Spot on !:victory:
Then connect your phone via usb and within PC Suite (Lg Bridge didn't work for me btw) drag & drop everything from Phone to PC. Apps, contacts, messages, all.
Next, the only sofware that actually worked in flashing my G3 was LGUP. Had some problems with it by not recognising my phone, but i found a version that worked.
Once that done, i removed the Sd Card, entered Download mode and tried flashing D85530B_00_1217.kdz (MM) by selecting Upgrade. That din't work. Same problems. Tried it again, but this time selecting Refurbish (wich wipes out everything) and voila ! Alive & kickin' !
Then it's just a matter of patience resetting your phone back. Enter the Google account with your freshly changed pass and the phone will basically ask you to restore itself back.
This was a long story short, but if anyone needs more detailed aspects, let me know.
The only thing i didn't figure out yet is why the Orange bloated kdz had Slow Mo option for camera and this standard one doesn't.
Thanks to everybody for their support and the community for hosting us !

Is it possible to use the Shield TV without a Google Account?
Does somebody know a way?
Maybe with a custom firmware?
I want to know that too. I had a foster device but I find not an clearly answer yet. do you?
EDIT:
Perhaps this could help us.
EDIT2:
surprisingly I found a key-kombo to get an special menu. You just need to put ↑ ↑ ← ← on the remote. Then you can choose to skip-login. Now we need to know more.
dunno y u wouldnt want goog signed in.. i suppose if u get thrugh setup then can ust adb sideload stuff
Instead of sideloading stuff you can use Aurora store to get all the updates you need and more.
Just once you need to sideload the store: AuroraStore_3.1.5.apk
Source
So it is possible to use the device without a google account then?
I even went a step further and rooted my stock OS shield and deleted all the bloatware that came with it. Then installed only jellyfin (alternative to plex) to stream from my home NAS + put the device on its own VLAN without internet access.
Even this process requires a google account to setup.. WOuld be nice if I could just remove that google requirement if Im not even planning to use it on the internet

See my EDIT2 here. Just use the key-combo.
Without google means in this case that you never connect your device with google.

Sorry, forget to mention that you need the shield dev rom.
Perhaps with non-dev and magisk root it could be possible to Flash an apk from the dev Rom but atm it is just possible to skip the Google login with the official nvidia dev-rom.
Greetings by Idijt
I find it if you first set it up with account you just go in and delete the account and turn off auto login.
I have both versions dev and retail both work the same as for deleting the account and turning off the auto login.
Make sure you turn developer tool on though
I dont know about newer firmware versions, but i remember going through the initial setup and skipping everything that gave that option until the create google account screen, where i couldn't go any further, i simply pulled the power plug, put it back in , and i was able to skip the google account creation.
Obviously i dont recommend folks pulling the power cord while system is runing on a regularly basis, didn't seem to be any ill affects, but i would suggest that you have nothing hooked up to the shield like harddrives and such just incase.
I cant remember for sure, but i think there is a way to force a reboot through a connected keyboard and key combination (search engine) while system is running which is a more elegant solution if possible
my shield 2019 pro got an ota today.. i backed it up and can upload it if anyones interested.. seemed to have quite a bit of fixes for audio and some issues on vizio tvs etc

Yes, this is an option but you need to create an Google account. Yes, you can delete this after the setup but you probably keep it. I dont want to create an account and I dont want to share my informations with google.This should be the last possible fix for this.

This does not work. I tried a lot to skip the google-login with non-dev rom without success.
Option A:
flash the current dev rom and to the mentioned key-combo to skip the login
Option B:
just type in a fake or real google login and login. Then disable the account.

Yes it can only be skipped on dev firmware. twhen I guess I would say that the "SetupWraithPrebuild.apk" checked the some system files, perhaps the build.prop and if you not running the a dev-rom you can not skip-google login with the key-kombo.
But some good news are that Steel01 released an experimental LOS16 (pie) rom.

thanks for the participation, i thought i was really the only one who didn't wanna login with a gmail account since it took some months for your replies.
i created a new throaway gmail account in the meantime, but it was not easy because google requires a sms verification in my country. i had to use one of these sms websites for that.
nearly all televisions and branded boxes with the android tv os let you skip the google account login during the initial setup.
since nvidia does support this product quite well with constant software updates, they'll probably consider to implement this feature in an upcoming firmware update if we are vocal enough on their official forums and request the 'skip login' frequently?
@uigger @I_did_it_just_tmrrow
How did you guys create throw-away google accounts.. I could never get any of those SMS verification services to work.. I think I tried like 20 different numbers there. All are used already..
I would also love to try lineageOS on the shield but project seems to not update at all since many months and also dev is not answering in forum anymore.
You think it still works good on 2019 shield Pro ? Is it safe to try it and easily revert to default if not.. ?
Hi Guys. My device is SM-950F and I was able to root with the Latest TWRP and Magisk 20.1 .
My installing sequence was;
flashing TWRP after enabling OEM UNLOCK
flashing the encryption and lock bypass zips through TWRP right after restarting to recovery.
Installing Elementx 2.11 together with MAGISK 20.1 via TWRP
Finally Restarted the system without choosing the option to install TWRP App
Set up all welcoming pages without setting up any accounts because I already have my backup ready via Smart Switch
I tried to set up my Samsung Account with the correct password afterwards, it showed me the agreement and so on... pressed agree and it said " Process Failed" and sent me back to login page and this loop continued whenever I wanted to set Samsung Pass as well.
I tried to set up Lock Screen with fingerprint which forced me to set up either pattern,pin or password in the beginning. I setup the pattern but couldn't back it up on Samsung cloud so LockScreen does not stay on what I set because of that I guess . When you set a pin , it doesn't accept your pin either as well as password. As if it is not enough , when you restart your phone you are faced with the restart loop where the sim card pin screen appears and disappears after 10 seconds same thing. You can not start your system unless you go back to recovery and flash an official rom again
Is there something I should do after restarting the system like installing Ex Kernel Manager app which I figured is not a free app and enable something within the app or download a patch within Magisk Manager for Samsung not to see the root. Because without rooting everything works flawlessly on the same rom :crying:
Please help!!!
Update: Ok guys I solved it. After researching and trying some other new things I found out that I needed to use TGP Kernel instead of Element X which fixed all my problems
I hope someone else might also benefit from this thread because it drove me crazy to not to be able to use my phone for 1 week ...
By the way I will not give his name but someone wanted me to contact him directly via hangout and asked me to send them some screenshots and so on and when I asked him why he wanted to help me via hangouts but not here so that everyone could benefit from the solution he said that he is using a server to fix problems. I guess some hacker trying to benefit from people's difficult situations. I blocked him immidiately. Do you guys think I am wright ? Should I expose him to you guys or to the admins ???

Telegram is a bit different in groups. But yea most of these guys will want some form of payment. A lot of us use Telegram now just cause of the quickness and capabilities
