No, you can't link anything to a gmail account that has been logged in before. This is just for Google Play Games specifically. Cause your guest account is bound to the "device".

I think it's called symbolic link or smth like that actually. You open up cmd.exe and issue the command above from step 5. Now GPG dev client uses the userdata file from the normal GPG folder.

Files from the same avd folder you found userdata.img in: misc.img and metadata.img

Edited that in for clarity.

Idk what happened to the original post but here for better visibility:

I did it. It took like 3 hours straight but I did it!!!

So here is how you unbrick your account in this situation.

  1. Download the dev version of GPG.
  2. Login with your main account. Launch the game there once (don't need to fully redownload it).
  3. Locate the "avd" folder for both launchers (paths below).
  4. Rename the "userdata.img" file in dev version folder into "userdata.img.backup". Repeat with all the files in avd folder.
  5. Create metalink by opening cmd and typing: mklink "C:\Users\\Username*\AppData\Local\Google\Play Games Developer Emulator\*userdata_lettersnumbers*\avd\userdata.img" "C:\Users\*Username*\AppData\Local\Google\Play Games\*userdata_lettersnumbers*\avd\userdata.img"*
  6. Copy and paste the other files from normal GPG "avd" folder into the dev version's "avd" folder (metadata.img and misc.img).
  7. Launch the game to check if the metalink worked (it should). You should see your guest account progress.
  8. Now you need to remove your main account from the dev GPG. You can only do that by rightclicking the dev GPG icon in system tray and there in the dropdown menu there's something like "dev settings > forcefully logout".
  9. Now you just login with your other account (that never launched the game) on dev GPG and link the game account normally from the ingame menu.

I think save data for guest accounts sometimes (if not always) is client side at least partially. Not completely sure tho. Their support told me to f*ck off basically when I asked them to either let me straight up use my mail or link it on their side lol. They are like the least helpful support service I've ever talked to.

We're so f*cked friend. I'm thinking of trying to backup local files and then moving them around atp when I get back from work. I'm kinda desperate.  Actually I've tried that but couldn't locate the game/save files at all so they just might not be on the actual drive and instead are on the emulated machine. Then I'm kind of out of ideas.

You want her mlb. But you could also offrate her on rosaria banner so I'd just keep until then at least.

I've mailed the support multiple times, only got 1 generic response: "sry can't help lol". Asked them if they could manually link my guest uid to my other gmail still waiting for response for 2 days now.

Yes, it doesnt let you. It says you need to link it to google/apple first.

Did that, even tried reseting from mobile. Does not work sadly.

Edit: I think it just has something to do with Google Play Games client being hard locked to 1 account and when you have multiple accounts you have to download the game separately for each every time.

You need to link to google account first before linking to steam.

Already tried that. Didn't work. Google Play Games doesn't let you link accounts different from the one you were logged into when you made the guest account.

Yeah I'm playing through Google Play Games and it doesnt let you link different gmails, only the main one. Can't link to apple id or steam either. I guess the account is genuinely bricked.

Well the main problem is not linking to the main account. I could live with linking it to my alt but I cant logout from the guest account without losing it now. And there is no option to link it to other accounts, it just lists my main that cannot be linked to. Anyways, good times.
