I FIXED this issue fortunately (Tags Account Action required, Couldnt sign in Google cant communicate with servers try again etc )'
Note: You will be needed a rooted android device.
1. Remove your google account.
2. Download root explorer apk by googling it and install it to your device.
3. Open root explorer first mount it as read and write (you can see the mount option from root explorer main window clearly) and move on to
this directory (system>etc>long press hosts and select "open in text editor ")
4. Then erase everything there and type following .
127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.185.66.4 android.clients.google.com
5. Save it and by touching 3 dots on top right corner then save and exit
6. Now if u have not google play services installed (You can check it in settings>Application manager) then download apk by
googling(Google play services apk for android 4.4/5.0 or for whatever version you are on) .
7.Once installed simply go to settings>add account>google account and you will be able sign in normally.And wont receive any error
messages.

I have no access to my phone what so ever because I get this error. I see people posting up ways to try and fix it by going into the device settings but i cannot even do that so what is the solution to fixing it?

I find it highly suspicious that every message before this one had a picture id along with a sign on name, this one was the first w/o any of those. And every kudo afterwards does NOT have an id icon.?.?.? I don't know. w/all the screwballs on w0eb sites these days, this sets off red flags to me. Also, the insistence that you MUST have a rooted phone, which, in and of itself, is a project with various attached risks. I wouldn't even attempt to pursue this fix. I think the "hurrah's" might be b.s.

 

[GUGU SITHOLE]

I tried this twice and still did not work. I did each step making sure to save it. It didn't save and I'm still having the same problem.

I try this several times bt no work I cant even download root explorer
