Is there any way to re-run the initial autonooter registration steps (the ones that start 'Skip "Set up your Google Account"') without doing a full-reset?
I did a full factory reset on my NC and upgraded to 1.0.1. When I autonooted, I messed up and hit the "Home" button right around the "Google Account" step, which sent me back to the main screen. I didn't get a chance to finish up all the additional steps (starting with the "Google Location" step, I think).
I tried just re-nooting and it never took me back to the registration screen.
Overall, I don't think I am having an issues that others are not having (can't delete a 2nd Gmail account, can't do shortcuts on home screen, etc) and things like the Market do work.
Do I need to worry because I didn't finish the autonooter steps? If I do, how do I run it without a full factory reset?
Thanks!

Hopefully someone can help me get the market to download apps.
Steps taken:
1. Rooted with Auto-nooter 0.1
2. Ran Auto-nooter 2.12.15 over top of 0.1 to fix some stuff
3. Market failed to download apps
4. Factory Reset - reverted to stock
5. Re-registered NC to functioning stock device
6. Rooted with Auto-nooter 2.12.15
7. Got root, followed all instructions to enable device and extras in order specified
8. Market still not downloading
Can anyone else say they are having this issue? What about a possible fix to this?
When I went to Sync gmail for the first time, my account was already in the device. I'm assuming this was because of the Youtube activation with my gmail account?
Thanks
I'm also having a problem downloading apps from the Marketplace. They show up as Downloading but never download. I searched for the problem on the Android Marketplace help, which offers the following suggestions (go to google support androidmarket and click the download issues troubleshooting page):
If your application is stalled at "Starting download", please use a few of the following troubleshooting steps to help your download to completion:
Confirm that there is connectivity on your device (contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected)
If downloading a paid application, confirm that your credit card information is up to date by logging in your Google Checkout account
Make sure that your phone is logged into Google Talk by following these steps:
Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
If you’re already logged into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
Launch Talk again to sign in
If unsuccessful after attempting these steps, let us know and we'll be happy to investigate further.However, I cannot sign in to Talk on the NC. Anyone having similar problems?
I followed the steps below to Root, after Rooting and Unrooting due to the Market issue:
Chose Complete action using Setup Wizard
Tapped Droid bot
Skipped Learn how to use your LogicPD Zoom2
Skipped Set up your Google Account
Selected both boxes for Use Google Location and clicked Next
Clicked the menu arrow -- settings -- Wireless & connected to WiFi
Launched Youtube, accepted ToS, clicked menu and added my linked google account
Launched Gmail and refreshed
Launched market and accepted ToS.
Well, my limited experience (i only got market able to work last night at 3 AM Pacific) taught me that even if you don't see an item downloading in the task bar, if you go to the main Android Market screen and click Downloads you'll see it there. And it installs on its own. You do see the "installed" check mark symbol though, after it's done.
For some reason, mine started working all of a sudden. I didn't do anything different since second root attempt. Maybe I wasn't waiting long enough for the download to kick off. Anyways, thanks guys.

I'm having this issue now as well. I've restarted a few times to no avail...
Google Now won't show anything other than the weather card.
I've tried disabling, re-enabling Google Now, making sure I have all card notifications set to "On" or "Yes" and I've tried rebooting. But for some reason my Google Now will only show me the weather card. If I hit "More" below that card it just says "Not Available".
Before, I was able to get many different types of cards in that feed. Now nothing will show. Anyone else run into this?
EDIT: Fixed! If you run into this issue, do the following...
- Open the Google app
- Click the three horizontal lines that are just to the right of the "Google" logo in the Google search bar
- Click "Settings"
- Click "Now cards"
- Click "Delete card preferences?"
- Click "Delete" (this will delete all Now Card preferences and turn Google Now off)
- Click the box to turn Google Now back on
- Go through the initial Google Now setup
- Bam! All Google Now cards are back to showing.
I'm assuming my issue stemmed from the fact that when Google Now launched, I said "No" to most of the cards it was trying to show me, in an effort to keep it minimal and not full of content I didn't care about. Since then, Google Now has been refined quite a bit and is much better. I never went back to reset all my preferences so I was still getting essentially no cards. Resetting everything solved that.
Device: Xiaomi Mi A2 Android One
ROM: Stock Google Android 9 Pie
I recently had to do a hard factory reset on my Android One Xiaomi Mi A2 phone. After reset a particular notification keeps insistently reappearing - it is from two different apks that are part of the stock ROM/OS - Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) and Android setup (with a gear icon). Both the apks have the same name but different icons and listed separately. They can be found by clicking on Settings>Apps & notifications>See all apps>Show system. I am currently on Android 9 Pie.
The notification from Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) gives two options - connect to WiFi or Use Mobile Data. On choosing either option it takes me to a white screen that has a gear symbol/icon on top and right below it it says PREPARING FOR SETUP... and below that it says YOU CAN FINISH SETTING UP YOUR Mi A2 SOON... At the bottom of this screen it has a rectangular Start button but that remains greyed out. I waited two days on this but it remained same. I did hard reset numerous times and re-setup phone but issue would not go away.
So then I did a reset from Recovery/Hard Reset again. Then I did the following in the order I mention - Set-up the phone as new / Chose Do not back up data or apps from previous save - Unchecked all apps that I had earlier that Google was trying to reinstall automatically after reset as per backed up info of my device on Google servers. Once phone was on homescreen I went to PlayStore and updated Google Play Services first thing. Then I installed all available updates. Then manually reinstalled all apps I earlier had on my phone one by one. After all this, notification from Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) reappeared and same issue - whether I choose Use Mobile Data or connect to wifi it would just take me to PREPARING FOR SETUP screen and stays there with Start button greyed out and notification bar indicators showing no data being transmitted up or down.
So then I went into settings, force stopped it (Android Setup with a circular arrow timer icon) and deleted cache and data for this apk. Left it overnight. In the morning I see that there is the same notification but this time from the Android Setup (with a gear icon) and the only option is connect to wifi. Upon connecting to wifi it takes me to the same PREPARING FOR SETUP screen with start button greyed out and does nothing. So this time I went into settings and forced stopped this (Android Setup with a gear icon) system apk and deleted its cache. Delete data option is greyed out, although it shows some data is stored. This makes notification go away but once I reboot phone it reappears.
I have done research online and many others have faced this exact same issue, exact same PREPARING FOR SETUP screen. But many different handsets, many different roms. Most common solution offered online was to delete cache and data for Google play Services and PlayStore. That was of no help in my case. Mine is a completely stock Android One 9 Pie rom, strictly no mods whatsoever. I doubt this has anything to do with the phone manufacturer, because they would not mess with those system apks I have mentioned earlier. It seems connected to Play Services apk and backed up phone settings/information on Google servers. Might have something to do with RESTORE DATA AND SETTINGS WHEN APP IS REINSTALLED setting option in the Android OS. I attempted to delete backed-up device settings, passwords and app info backed up on Google's servers, and then did a reset again and set up as new, but problem is still there.
Any help/info/etc. you can provide about this would be much appreciated ...

Why do you want to use a beta Pie ? Just restore Oreo

No its not Beta Pie. Its a full public release, updated through OTA.
I have seen this problem mentioned in Nexus, Pixel and Oneplus6 Forums as well (among others) so not sure if it is specific to Pie ...
SOLVED
After all the steps mentioned in original post, heres what I did - Went into my Google account and removed phone from devices listed under my account. Reset phone. Set up - as new (chose do not restore backed up setttings/apps/data)(did this setup with wifi). Towards end of setup Google still tries to reinstall some apps that were installed before, so tapped on REVIEW APPS and unchecked all checked apps. Three apps were still listed with no option to unselect. Continued. Got to home screen. Problem notification appeared. This time tapped on USE MOBILE DATA option on the notification. It did not go to problematic PREPARING FOR SETUP screen but went to another screen that said installing 3 apps (the 3 apps that could not be unchecked as I mentioned earlier), and after a few minutes of seeming to be stuck, just completed on its own!
PROBLEM SOLVED. Mentioning everything done in detail in the hopes that it will help someone else. Cheers!!:good:

Realise this thread is a little old, but I had the same problem and did not want to reset the phone again. I am using LineageOS 16.0
Most of the solutions appear to be little more than try again.
I found the following work:
When the option comes up, go back ("<") key from the screen that shows a grey "Start" button. This should give the WiFi options. Click the WiFi which is connected, and then click Advanced. Change Metered from Automatic to Unmetered. Click finish / ok as necessary and it should then work.
I can only assume that Android is detecting the connection is metered therefore refusing to do the final setup. Hope that this helps someone!
Don't forget to set the connection back to automatic / metered if applicable!
What i did and helped is that i deleted the Google account, restarted the phone and the Update went through.
what worked for me - i had to install gapps first and then just factory reset in twrp - a20 205w - running lineageos16

Thanks A NEast, it works on my Nokia 6.1 Plus
Just change the Wi-Fi options from automatic to unmetered
so playing with the family link loop where it
Then:
Installed the four APKs needed to install Google Play Store: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ama...-fire-t3486603
Installed the Family Link Manager APK. I posted it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eV...aZYYsd-2E1351C
Launched Google Play Store
Signed in as my child
It asks which parent is setting up the device. I choose myself.
Got a warning about Android 5 and not be able to control an apps permissions after approving.
Then, a message that Family Link Manager needs to be installed. I already installed it at this point.
Checking Info...
It asks for a name for the Device
Asks which installed apps should be blocked
Then I get a screen that says, "Next, you'll activate Family Link Manager, which helps parents..."
After clicking next, I get a screen that says, "This profile manager is required for Google Accounts managed with Family Link." The only option is to click, "GOT IT." I then end up on the previous, "Next, you'll activate..." screen. If I click NEXT there, I see the same, "This profile manager is required..." screen. The process is now stuck in this loop
but if i try the loop 3 times i can not use google play,. but i have to redo this every 2nd day or so... it wont quite stay/finalise sign in
how can i stop this
I am also having this issue. Have you figured it out?
I found no solution for now . ...
Theres no fix for this. I think the fire is missing a option that family link assumes is there
Try it to factory reset or hard reset and re-install the Google Services
Another solution: https://screentimelabs.com/help/how-to-uninstall-google-family-link/
if you get the manager apk from another device, you can get one step further. however, it continues until it gets to the step where it wants to activate the device manager and the screen for an instant shows, but then goes to a "are you sure you want to cancel" screen.
If you activate the device manager manually, unfortunately, it still shows the same screen.
Hi guys. I bought someones amazon fire 5th gen 2015 model SV98LN . i master reset the tablet, but now there are no apps and no launcher. everything starts up fine. I see the amazon logo, then the fire logo. Once it finally gets to the main screen, all i see if the lock screen. I swipe to unlock and all i see is a blank screen, but i am able to use the pull down menu and able to press the home button but then nothing is there and it goes back to the lock screen. If i register my amazon account to it, it tries to make a kids account. but i can only select apps that i wanna share that i have downloaded/purchased before.
other info.
when i select the check for update, it looks like it hangs and goes back to the lock screen.
when i do another master reset, it does the same thing
i tried reading on how to load up apps, but the tablet doesn't have a browser for me to download the google play store. I tried to use the "legal and compliance" section browser to download it, but that won't let me download the file.
i tried reading stuff off the micro sd and all i see is the stats of the drive and it won't let me view content
also i can't tell what version its on since the update section looks like it's been removed or something
Can someone please guide me what I can do. I don't want this tablet to go to waste.

Download the full update from amazon and flash it with recovery. What was on if before you reset it? if it was rooted, it might be missing files necessary for setup.
