I have an Atrix 4g running CM11. Google accounts used to work perfectly, but suddenly, I can't sync any more, and removing the accounts with intent of setting them up again rendered me unable to login any more, saying that the phone "can't get a reliable connection."

The only thing that changed that I can think of is that I installed Clean Master and a lot of other CM applications, such as the launcher, browser and the lockscreen. I don't see how this would affect it, however, because of the steps I've already taken to try and fix this.

And I've tried everything. From changing my android ID, to reinstalling CM11, to installing an update to CM11, to trying other ROMs (oddly, no other ROM besides CM11 could boot, which was also new behaviour). I know that the problem is in my device, because I can't sign in with any google account on it, but I can sign in with those accounts on other devices. I've tried everything, and I'm completely stumped as to what could cause this.

You must turn off the two step verification on your gmail account before logging into your sync your Google (motoblur) account to the phone.

Apparently the phone detects that the Google server is asking for additional information and incorrectly reports that your username and password do not match. At the minimum, the software should inform you that you need to turn off the 2-step verification and then try again.

I know this is a little late, but you say you couldn't boot into any other ROM? Did we forget that there's a difference between normal and bigpart?
