    Default Change default Google account on a HTC HD2 FROYO [ HELP!!! ]


    Hello Guys! - Here is my problem : I bought a HTC HD2 with FROYO. The problem is that i cannot REMOVE the default google account. I even added another google account and tried to erase the initial one. For some reason the initial one stays as the DEFAULT ONE. I even tried what you guys said, with clearing all the data from the application management. Here is the catch: Even If i do a factory reset, the phone restarts in WINDOWS, not in android....after i boot up the android....it loads the same google account... DAMN! I'm stuck here!...Any suggestions? Is there any like config file that i have to erase the email or somehting like that? Your Help is greatly APPRECIATED! Happy Gobble Gobble!

    Delete the data.img n the android folder before u boot into android. When u boot into it, it'll ask you to setup everything fresh.

    Hi, I am having the same issue as the above person. I just bought an unlocked HTC HD2 off ebay and it has an existing google email address in that I need to remove because I can not access the market without using mine. I am not very computer savy so when you gave the answer to delete the img when boot up android, i am not sure what you mean or how to do it.

    In some of the inet links it says that I have to hard restart the phone to the original settings, but I m am afraid if I do that it will not be unlocked or I will lose the Android settings on the phone.. Can you clear this up for me as well?

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Linda

    On your SD card Teresa a folder called Android. Open that up and delete the data.img before booting into Android.
