Help Unable to sign into ZenFone 3 (ZE520KL) with gmail account - wait 24 hours

[Ruben Carrera]

Hello,

So I have a new ZenFone 3 (ZE520KL) - ASUS_Z017DA with Adndroid of course. I'm trying to set it up for use and it asks me for a google account or with work. but when I use my google account it tells me there was an error. It just say there is an error when signing it and to use another account or wait 24 hours. This is the second weekend I tried. I tried last weekend and today I am on this forum. I also did four factory resets as attempts to start anew. I'm able to connect to a working wireless network. I tried every option I could, like send me a SMS with a code, help me find my account, start anew, restore data.

- Is there something else I could try, or something maybe I'm missing?

- Or maybe google servers are blocking me? I tried this to unlock my device or something but nothing: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

Any help to not thrown away working hardware would be really appreciated. -_-'

did you bother to check your gmail to click on the confirm email they send you?

hello, yeah sure.

This one below? more than twice. and had no effect. Google just sent me this email twice, one each weekend. Once I confirm it is me, it stops for following attempts. But the device still goes 'unknown error, try other account (which of none had worked), or 24 hours' message.

I'm quite sure the problem is in the phone, but factory resets hadn't work either. or a blocked list from google servers?

it maybe blocked then. The other thing to try if you haven't is make a new gmail account to see if it works. If it does there is something wrong with your account. If it doesn't then it's probably the phone itself
