Hi guys
I have a Kindle Fire which I want to remove a Google account from so it is no longer associated with the Fire.
I cannot find away to do this other than I guess a factory reset.
It is rooted with Android Market installed.
Thanks
Download "Sync Settings" from the Market.

Using root explorer delete /data/system/accounts.db

It was moved to /data/system/users/0/accounts.db and deleting that file worked for me. Just have to re-sign into the Playstore.

Just delete all four Google Apps and reinstall them.
Remove Google Play Store No root needed
Edit "Remove Google Play Store Account"
I was able to do this without root. Settings>Apps&Games>Manage All Applications>Google Play Store> then clear cache and clear data.
Account is gone
I just want to log out of a gmail account on Amazon 8 HD Fire.
Goober, download an SQLite editor, there are a ton in the play store. Edit the accounts.db mentioned above. Open the accounts table and delete the record for the account you want to remove. Reboot.
If you had that account selected in any apps, those apps might act weird. If that happens, just clear data for that app. (Ex: clash of clans wouldn't let me select a different account; it was stuck on the deleted account).
I was facing the same issue, too.
There was an old Google account lingering on my Fire (5th gen.) that had been deleted with Google long ago, and which couldn't be removed from the Fire. As it is currently running on FireOS 5.6.0.1 there was no way of deleting the accounts.db as suggested earlier here in the thread due to the lack of root access.
The only thing that helped was deleting the apps
Google Account Manager
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
and reinstall them with these package versions:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...unt-manager-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-framework-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-10-2-98-230-146496160-android-apk-download/
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...25-l-all-0-pr-145823605-android-apk-download/
That resolved my problem.
After reinstalling everything the obsolete account is not suggested as Google account anymore.
Cheers,
Sascha

No it doesn't.
Anyone figure out how to do this? I've tried everything. The only thing I could not do was delete /data/system/users/0/accounts.db ... I have root using SuperSU but apps will not see the 'users' folder and I can see it with ADB but it says I dont have perms.
The super-secret users & accounts menu seems to be at:
1. Open Youtube app
2. Click upper-right corner icon for your Google-connected Youtube account.
3. Click switch account
4. Click manage accounts
5. A screen should pop up named "Users & accounts". Click your Google acct.
6. Click the "remove account" button.
Other things I tried:
* One can force logout any device online at myaccount.google.com in your web browser. This did the trick for logging out on my Fire, but I subsequently got endless login shoutboxes saying I need to log back in.
* I tried clearing cache and deleting user data on all user apps and restarting, but this didn't work at all.
I'm on FireOS 6.3.1.4 and confirmed with Youtube version 14.42.54 and 15.06.52
Would you mind adding some Screenshots (possibly edited with 'Mark-Up'), it is pretty hard to follow your directions OR its just different on my Fire Tab 7 (Gen 7). I can sign out via Google Account device Manager from another device, however theres a persistent notification then, saying "Account Action required" which sucks a lot, it sticks in the notification shade for ages!!!

I have updated the instructions to hopefully be simpler
i confirm that clearing Data/system/users/0/accounts.db then rebooting the device does work. Thank you

Hi,
I have a rooted HTC desire with MIUI GB Rom. Everything worked fine till yesterday the gmail app suddenly stopped syncing and has been since then stuck on the "waiting to sync" page - "Your email will appear shortly". When i manually sync it, the app force closes. Even if i go into "accounts and sync" and uncheck and re-check auto-sync, the app force closes.
Googling this issue showed that tons of other folks have had this issue but I haven't found a solution. I've literally tried everything (i think):
Manual sync, uncheck and recheck auto sync, phone reboot, removing battery, uninstalling updates, uninstalling the app itself via Titanium backup and reinstalling via market, clearing cache and data of gmail app, clearing cache+dalvik from recovery, full wipe and reinstall of rom, factory reset and trying different rom, upgrading to Nikez lente ICS rom...
...but nothing has worked
Please help. What's the point of an android phone if the gmail app doesnt work
Karan
Turns out that only my account doesn't sync, If i use another email address, it sync normally. Suggestions?
Karan
Hello,
I have exactly the same issue since yesterday (Inspire 4G rooted stock GizRootv_1), though I tested the issue with CM7.1 and the problem is the same.
My gmail email address is stuck at " Waiting for Sync", at times the Gmail App FC. If I add another gmail account, stop syncing my account and I sync Gmail with the new account it works without issues.
I had tried several Factory resets adding the account with problem first, last, nothing the issue appears and is related to my account.
It looks like a Gmail problem rather than a phone/ROM problem.
Any help for troubleshooting?
Thanks

I agree it's a gmail problem but troubleshooting did not yield any results, hence the call for help
Sorry, I missed to post what I wonder if you can check in your account.
Please check if in "Google Dashboard" -> "Account" -> "Websites authorized to access the account" do you have an entry for "Android Login Service — Full Account Access".
Having the same problem you described I tried a different account in the phone and it worked, so far this is the only difference I can find is the not working account does not have the entry described above.
Thanks

It does have this piece of access:
"You have granted the following services access to your Google Account:
Android Login Service — Full Account Access"
Another dead end, I thought that having it missing was the reason I was having problems.
Please let me know if you find something, I am checking with google's gmail forum but no answer from anyone yet, I will post if I find something.
FYI, I tried from scratch three different ROMs (Stock rooted, CM7.2 & MIUI) and installed Gmail as the first app and the problem was the same in all ROMs, it does not connects using my account but it does with two other different accounts I tried, my phone is an Inspire 4G.
Thanks

Ok, today the app suddenly started working normally!! :victory:
These are the things I tried, maybe it'll help:
1) Leave gmail unsynced for a few days
2) Go into IMAP settings on pc gmail and sync nothing but the inbox
3) Take all the inbox mails and put it a new unsynced folder, so the only thing ure syncing is an empty inbox
4) Update Gmail to 2.3.6
All the best!:good:
Success!!
I finally got mine working:
What I think got it to work was going into System Settings/Data Usage then hit the menu button and make sure Auto-Sync data is checked on.
Then I went to Apps/All/Email/Force Stop/Clear Data
Then I Added the Account back in and it worked!!
Just in case, I had also previously done the following (but unsuccessful until I did the above):
I've updated the ROM, removed/re-added accounts, updated GAPPS, Revoked access/Signing in again in Google/Account/Authorizing Applications
I encountered this problem after changing the email account associated with an Android phone. Avoiding the Factory Reset, I cleared the data in Manage Applications with the Gmail apps. Contacts and Calendar synched OK, but the dreaded "Waiting for Sync" message persisted when launching gmail.
Clearing the data for *all* Google apps solved the problem: gmail, gmail storage, google apps, and google backup transport. Then I launched gmail and went through the gmail account setup process. One or more of these two things was the key: configuring the new account through gmail or clearing data from all the google apps.
Make sure Auto-sync is enabled
Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
Select Settings.
Select Accounts & sync.
Make sure the checkbox for Auto-sync is checked.

This worked for me! No need to delete data or anything. My settings were different, as shown below:
Settings > accounts section > Gmail
Found the account (it says sync is disabled)
Clicked on the account
Sync Gmail / tap to sync now / sync disabled < I did this. It took a few minutes, and completed the sync. Yay!

The same thing happen to me, but I deleted the app and the re installed it, hope this help.
Last year when this thread was opened the actual problem was related to this Gmail Forum thread: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/jb9zyCni3pc[1-25-false]
Do a search for "AGforum0822" at Google's Gmail forum and you will find more detail.
Maybe the problem came back.
Problem solved.
I had the same problem. I removed my google account. Which resulted in deletion of messages and contacts and calendar entries. Then I added back my google account keeping the sync on. Problem solved. Now my gmail syncs nice.
open gmail app
go to your default browser
type
g.co/allowaccess

After factory reset I'm stuck at google account screen which I don't remember since it wasn't my main google account.
After a lot of research I've tried the talkback->youtube but chrome or any browser doesn't open so I can't use it
Tried the gmail path but whole menu' doesn't show up, only account section and no options
Tried the keyboard "assist" but google search bar doesn't appear.
Tried to flash stock rom from sdcard but fails at 5%
Phone wasn't rooted and everything is stock
How do I get past google account screen? Is it as good as bricked?
UPDATE: I managed to get past FRP through the stock email app exploit! I cannot post links however due to forum restrictions.
In case anyone needs:
1. Follow guide with normal talkback->share link->email(select stock email app instead of Gmail)
1.1 Create a hotmail or whatever account on an other device.
2. Sign in, compose email, attach file from sd card (QuickShortcutMaker apk, you can google it)
3. Send email! you can send to random address
4. Go to outgoing, open sent email and open attached file and install
5. After install open and scroll down to "Huawei Home", open first option, then tap "try"
6. You now have access to whole phone, go to Settings->Accounts and delete all accounts
7. Go back to settings->backup&restore->Factory reset and confirm
8. Phone is now clean of FRP, enjoy!
A friend of mine asked about this. It's never a problem I've had, but thank you for sharing the solution. This could come in handy!

Indeed! Most common solutions weren't working for me so for a few days I was going crazy, but finally found one that works. Maybe someone else doesn't have to go crazy too!
This guide is to meant to attempt to save valuable time and frustration from anyone who needs google's contact sync.
Please keep all discussions polite.
So I need google apps on a daily basis and i tried to set up google on the chinese ROM .
And of course there is no Google contacts app so you need to put it in yourself.
I have looked at several guides and threads from XDA and MIUI Forum but they didn't seem to touch the critical steps for getting the contacts to sync with google.
After 2 days of trying...literally.., i figured out how to set the contact sync up reliably, not "reboot it and it will work after the reboot" sorta result.
If the following steps don't work for you, please let me know...I have tried this on 2 MIX 3's and they all worked after first attempt.
1, Enable google play services in Settings app -> system apps -> google play services
2, Download the Google play store from Apk Mirror:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...8-23-all-0-pr-224256688-android-apk-download/
and the google contacts sync adapter:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-contacts-sync-9-android-apk-download/
And install them.
3, Open google play store, log in, and install Google contacts from the play store.
4, Give permissions to google contacts and contact sync adapter
*** Above steps are common to the threads i have read, and below are the key points ***
5, Enable on developer options by goto Settings->my phone(or something like that) -> full specs and tap MIUI version 7 times.
6, Go to settings -> additional settings -> developer options , scroll to the very bottom (last item) and disable "MIUI optimizations". Will explain why in later steps.
7, Download an "app permission setting" app such as (but not limited to) this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fdd2hdd.AppPermissionInfo
8, Open the permission settings app and find Google contacts and Google contact sync adapter apps and grant all their required permission.
Once you are here you should notice that, the permission GUI opened from this permission app is different. The GUI here is more AOSP style, or vanilla android style, and this is what we need. The permission GUI from MIUI layer doesn't allow you to set this up.
******* End of the key steps************
9, Now if you go to settings->accounts->Google, you should see "contacts" in the sync options and it should work. If not, well, reboot lol, i think it should appear.
If this works for you, a "Thanks" button press is very much appreciated.

Chinese ROM doesn't have it installed so no need to uninstall it. Just run Google installer v3, set contacts permission and it works fine.

If I remember it does. That however may be the dev rom as I only set up the stock room once while I set up the dev rom multiple times. Dev rom install of contacts sync will fail.
Install Google installer v3 APK, let it install and go to contacts permission in settings and tick them all, job done - this has helped. Thank you!
not sure what the problem is, followed this guide to a T and still can't get contacts to show up in my google account to sync it. everything else like Gmail works no problem. i have every permission checked. i've uninstalled and reinstalled. i have the AOSP like sliders to turn things on after going to developer settings.
for some reason instead of contacts i get a people details sync but nothing for contacts will show up. so frustrating.
ok i wiped data and started from scratch and unfortunately same results. ****ing hell this never happened with original mi mix. i guess i'm stuck waiting for the 72 hours to be able to unlock unless anyone has other ideas.
EDIT - ------ FINALLY I got this working. the key is you have to downgrade the calendar sync app to 8.1 - it would not work with 9.0 for me for some reason. once i did this and followed the rest of your instructions it finally worked for me
Worked excellent in Mi 11 Pro! at 2022, I only wonder about what I'm losing by disbling the optimizations, but at the beginning it seems not a big deal... thanks!
Reset ZenFone 2. Now asking to verify the account but getting "disallowed_useragent"
I was having touch-screen issues so I reset my phone. When I boot now I get prompted for language, wi-fi, etc. Next screen says:
Verify your account
This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The problem is that there's no place to enter any information, just a button "Verify account". When I press the button I get a Google error:
403. That's an error.
Error: disallowed_useragent
Google can't sign you in safely inside this app. You can use Google sign-in by visiting this app's website in a browser like Safari or Chrome.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...but I don't know the app and I can't do anything else on the phone. Can anyone provide an answer on how to fix it?
UPDATE:
So the OS version was really old. I went through a series of updates by side-loading the ROMs from the ASUS support site. After 3 or 4 upgrades I had a completely different experience and it let me verify my account. All seems well for now.
Just a couple of notes in case someone else has issues:
- Using Fedora (linux) desktop I needed to use "sudo ./adb devices" to be able to start the server and perform the side-load. Without "sudo" I was receiving an error about permissions.
- I performed the upgrades starting with the kernel version that was already on the phone and then upgraded to the next release each time after booting to each upgrade. I did this because I received an error on one upgrade saying I couldn't go there directly.
Peace.
I have the exact same issue with a phone that I'm trying to setup for my kid. Where did you get your firmwares for this phone?
Start by going here: https://icr-am.asus.com/webchat/icr...634.649586617.1546133606-337662955.1546133606
Then select "Download Center" from the chat window pane. Select your specific phone model. Select BIOS & FIRMWARE. Be sure to select the correct version for your phone (WW, CN, JP, etc.)
Good luck!
