Hillsboro, OR
I recently removed knox and rooted my phone following the guide. Worked great... I got into my phone with CM10, except for a constant "There was a problem communicating with google servers. Try again later." error message. I thought it was a bad wipe, so I rewiped and reflashed the ROM. No joy. I did a full factory reset from the menu. No joy.

Searching on Google and XDA yielded a lot of messages about the Google servers going down a few years ago. Obviously this wasn't the case. Finally, I found something that worked:

  • Disabled 2-step Authentication (mostly to make it easier on myself)
  • Removed the account
  • Cleared the data on the "Google Account Manager"
  • Readded said account

This worked for me. I'm on CM10.2.1-dspr (stable).

I don't know if you've fixed this already, but I deleted the data and cache of every Google app and I'd worked.

I did that on my m8 and could login but now I still have an error. When I open the store I get "check out connection and try again". If I click help it crashes. And If I search for an app it finds nothing : (
any idea?
