I have recently bought a HTC One and decided to put my rooted Desire HD back to stock. Ran the RUU file I found from this site and everything went through smoothly. Phone seems to be working perfectly, wifi, internet etc etc. However it will not let me sign into my Google account to access the store so I can install some of the apps I want. I have been on the browser and that lets me sign into Google no problem.

Tried signing in during the 'initial setup', tried via accounts & sync in settings and tried by clicking the store app and entering details in there.

I've restarted the phone several times, I've reset it to factory settings.

Android version 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 Software number 3.12.405.1

Any ideas?

*Edit* Solved it now, it seems the Desire HD is unable to use Google's 2 step verification when signing in so it reports back as wrong username or password. The One has no issues which is why it worked fine on my new phone.

If anyone else comes across this problem then turning off 2 step verification and signing in works perfect, you can then switch it back on afterwards.
