Don’t know if this is a root problem or not but it happen after getting S-Off. Mods, feel free to move.
So I decided to get S-Off & root 30 minutes before I had to leave for work. Dumb move I know but I work best under pressure. I already had the drivers & serial # & generated my beta key so I dove in, entered the beta key & the phone rebooted a couple of times. It asked if I wanted to flash CW recovery, I typed Y & then it said it failed about 3 or 4 times. I saw I had S-Off on the top of my screen & I knew there might be a problem with getting the recovery so I wasn’t too worried. Then my car pool came about 15 minutes early. Didn’t have time to root so I rebooted. Got a notification stating that there’s a sign in error for my Google account for the store. Put in my password, didn’t work. Tried again about 30 times, same result. Tried a different password, same result. Remembered I did the Google Authenticator, tried that password, nothing. I have another Google account & I was able to sign in with that one. When I got to work, I signed in to Gmail with the same password I was entering in my phone with no prob. So I changed my Gmail password, rebooted my phone, same result. Then I remembered I downloaded the new Google store apk. So I uninstalled the “update”, rebooted, entered the password, same result. Then I got an email, checked it on my phone, went to respond, Gmail asked for my password. Entered it, guess what, same result. So now I really think it has something to do with with the Authenticator but I’m not sure. Should I uninstall the Authenticator & try again? Could it be because I’m not rooted? I’m fresh outta ideas. Anybody can help me out? Thanks.
