Authentication error. You need to sign in to your google account. (Wear OS wallet)
I recently made use of the Gmail change email address, which finally was made available here in the UK (allowing me to amend my incredibly embarrassing email address/username that I made when I was .... thirteen years old maybe? HA)
Ever since, I've been fighting with this authentication error on my Watch (Xiaomi Watch 5 / WearOS 6.0). I've tried deleting cache on "Google Wallet" on both phone and watch, deleting cache on "Google Play Services" on the watch, removing Google Account from watch and re-adding, removing Google Account on the WearOS/MiFitness companion app on phone and re-adding...
Still getting this error message 😭😭😭😭
Any thoughts, squad?
------FIXED! By running these ADB commands through GeminiMan WearOS Manager:
Force-Clear the Token via ADBSince you are familiar with sideloading apps, you can use your ADB environment (via PC or a phone app like Bugjaeger) to target the exact security configuration file causing the loop.
- Connect your phone/PC to the watch via wireless ADB.Run the following command to completely clear out Google Wallet's internal runtime token without deleting the app itself:
adb shell pm clear com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel
- Next, run this command to force the watch's package manager to re-verify its Google permissions:
adb shell cmd package compile -m speed -f com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel
- Disconnect ADB, open Google Wallet on your watch, and it will trigger a fresh initialization wizard using your renamed email address.
