Invalid MIX 4 google account cannot login

[dastsong]

MIX 4 unlocked bootloader on official stable 12.5.7, flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_MIX4_21.9.8_v12-11-fastboot. Clean flash, using "windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat"

can't log in to google. It says "Checking info..." then "couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later". I have network connection.

Is it required that I should be on official(china) BETA 21.9.8 before fastboot flashing EU 21.9.8?

Of course not...

 

[dastsong]

Of course not...

....thanks....
It's a bug of the EU rom then.

Maybe...

There is no Stable version by Xiaomi.eu for your device (yet?), it's strange... ^^

 

[Kacper Skrzypek]

Try a few more times. I have MIX 4 for test, logged in just fine.

 

[Karpfenhai]

Same here, flashed a Mix 4 last week with no Google sign in issues.

No. Currently there's only BETA, and only fastboot ROM, no twrp.

Thanks! I tried many times, even tried all fastboot ROM versions:
21.8.25
21.9.1
21.9.8

Was doing clean flash, using "first_install_with_data_format.bat" option.

on all of them, says "Checking info..." then "couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later".
Does it matter which ROM I was on, prior to flashing the fastboot?
I was on official china STABLE 12.5.7 before flashing the xiaomi.eu ROM

Thanks! Is it possible that this is a device-specific problem?? I have no idea how to check and why it fails. From my understanding, it's complete wipe and fastboot flash of all partitions....

It did not even come to the step to ask for my account info, so I don't think it's google-account specific. I am in the US, if that matters, I even tried getting a VPN to the UK, which made no difference.

If I skip the setup, all apps including google app has network working - I can even do google search, just not able to sign in.

I tried using my cellular network for the setup, same issue.

Can you Login by browser?

Obviously not with chrome but maybe Firefox or incognito tab?

By any chance, did you modify you hosts file?

Like blocking the Google address by accident?
Also verify your dns settings, try 8.8.8.8

This must be some weird coincidence..

Yes I can login from browser, just not any Google app.

No modification to the system in anyway whatsoever, completely new flash, boot up and straight to failure connecting with Google

All other devices under same network works all fine.

Completely new flashing
Complete wipe
Initial install, wipe everything, straight boot up and connect wifi, then failure happens

This is just absurd.

How to create a logcat file

# connect phone with PC and USB
# set USB debug - on
# create a textfile -> eg logfile.txt in adb folder on PC
# adb logcat > logfile.txt
# make actions on phone and wait for issue
# ctrl+c (to stop logfile recording)
# analyze the logfile
# send the last eg 5 seconds, the relevant entries

Here is a section of the log file that I caputred. (Had to wipe my phone and flash it to xiaomi.eu, ghrrrrrr!!)

I tried to analyze it, but apparently it's hard for me.
There are lots of errors related to network/ google gms

Do you have 2 factor authentication on your google profile? Can you disable it?
If this doesn't work create a new google account and try to log in with it just for test.

Sorry I'm afraid this is an invalid question. It cannot even get to the page that asks me for my account. So I'm sure this is nothing to do with my account.

No, he means check it on another device - on the security pager for example you can see all devices on your account.

Sometimes Google accounts can't be accessed on new devices for a little while. Seems rare but I've had it when I imported a phone from China. Bit... random. Only lasted a few days though and I didn't hve to do anything.

Hopefully this happens for you

Thanks! Hopefully it resolves in a few days

I'm still confused about why it relates to my account. Are you saying that it may be because the device used to have my account signed in, Google can recognize this unit, even though it is fully wiped?

I have turned off 2FA for my Google account and removed everything that is related to this mix4 (signed out). Re-tried and still says couldn't connect.

Can log in with browser, just not with any google app including the initial setup app.
I have turned off 2FA

 

[dastsong]

This is clearly a Xiaomi.eu bug
When I flash it back on Official China stable rom, I can login to my account just fine. Google play services all works fine.

 

[Karpfenhai]

I guess you have changed the Rom already, but from what I see, Google is rejecting your login attempts due to bad request caused by socket error, something seems to be missing (config file).

Furthermore the setup assistant can't be called, so it seems the Google framework wasn't installed properly

If you try again please ensure you factory reset the device after Install, also delete all data for all Google related apps.

Maybe a manual update to Google beta gms / gsf could help too.

Thank you so much!

This is really weird.
I want to emphasize that, this is a complete wipe of the phone, fresh start. I already fastboot flashed many times. Factory reset is also tried. There is no reason why anything is missing, unless the fastboot flashing part isn't done right.

After skipping the failed initial setup, I go in to erase all cache and data related to google, gms, gsf, play store, Google app, restart and same error.

tried manual install of gsf beta, which made no difference.

yes, tried all 4 versions of weekly. All the same. Please say something nice so I don't cry out loud

 

[dastsong]

Could anyone please take a look if there's anything wrong with my fastboot flash process?
forum does not allow *.rtf format, so I've only got PDF

Looks fine. Yet, calling it "our issue" won't be accurate as no one here can reproduce it.

 

[dastsong]

Update:

After a sh*t ton of attempting everything, finally I found the issue:
SIM card inserted in the phone fails to register mobile network (requires manual APN settings), which somehow blocked the google setup.
After removing the SIM card and reboot, I resumed the setup and google login is back to normal.

Looks fine. Yet, calling it "our issue" won't be accurate as no one here can reproduce it.

Thank you for your help looking at the log, really appreciate that.
I'm sorry but I don't agree the point that I can't call it "an issue with xiaomi.eu ROM". A bug that cannot be reproduced by dev/test is still a bug. More over that, this issue does not happen on official ROM.
