cannot register to gmail after a hard reset please help

i need your help beacuse i only had this phone for 4 months and i never had problems until it started freezing. i did a master reset following this:

Settings> Privacy> Factory data reset.. then the phone stopped freezing however, i can no longer sign my phone in to gmail with the old acct that i had with it before i did the damn reset. here's what. whenever i log in to my gmail acct using my phone's browser, it does not have any issues AT ALL. but the phone , this x8 really cannot register to my gmail. please help.

Don't worry, you are not. Slightly_smiling_Face

Let's try software repair with either PC Companion or Update Service. Here's the download link ....

http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/

Download and install to PC/Laptop, launch it and follow on-screen instructions. This process will erase phone data completely.

I hope this works, fingers crossed.

I will be going off soon too, will check this thread once I am online again. Have a great day at work!

By the way, I do not work for Sony Mobile, I am merely a volunteer helping in the Support Forum during my free time.
