[Q] Can't sign in to google after update while rooted

[jbyersak1015]

Hey guys. I'm having some trouble here. As the title says I can't sign in to google. My phone was rooted and it performed an update without me doing it. Not sure how it happened. Have only been on android for about a year. Before the update my gmail app stopped syncing. He regular email app would still work though. Then the update happened and I lost my root. Everything worked fine for about two weeks. Yesterday my google play store started with the "no connection-retry" error. Today I decided to try a master reset. After the reset if cannot sign in to google on my phone using the gmail app, play store sign in, or settings>accounts. However the email app still works. I can sign in fine online. Did the update with root screw up my google account on my phone. My sister was able to sign in to my google account on her S3. Could I maybe re-root it or something? Any guidance would be awesome. Thanks so much in advance.

To add to my post I tried to sign in to my wife's google account on my phone and same thing. "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server". Lastly, I tried to create a new account on my phone and it says the name is not available. I have a unique last name and I know these names I tried are not taken. Thanks.

Try going to application manager and clearing data for everything that says google.

Thanks for the idea. Tried it straight away. Nothing. I'm wondering if Knox is doing this. Maybe have to flash to a room with no Knox

Downloaded Kingo to root, which is what I used before, and its not working now. It keeps popping up the "An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device." error. Here is all my info on the phone:

Hey guys. Found a solution to everything! As mrkhigh stated, the older version of kingo worked perfectly. Then I flashed Azurerom five using safestrap and it bypassed whatever error goggle was sending back to my phone. I was able to sign in to google and have full access to everything. The only down side is Azure doesn't have Samsung account. So any contacts you have tied to your Samsung account you will not be able to get.
