How to fix the "There are no Android Devices associated with this account" issue in Google's Play Store

I was a bit messing with my Nexus (I accidentally flashed the bootloader of ICS 4.0.4 into the boot image of the Nexus ... and of course it wouldn't boot Smile) and eventually I reflashed the full factory image of ICS 4.0.4 on the device. After it was done, I've forced an OTA update of Jelly Bean. However visiting the Play Store's My Account page I've found the following message waiting for me on the Settings tab: "There are no Android devices associated with this account."

In this Android issue ticket people described how logging in to the Dashboard (and maybe opening the "Manage mobile devices" link in the Calendar section?) fixed the problem. And it did. Smile I've described my personal experience in comment #1266.

Re: "There are no Android Devices associated with this account"

Yesterday I got the 4.1.2 update for Jelly Bean (via OTA) and today I saw that Play Store (yet again ...) did not show my device. This time I merely logged in to the Dashboard (didn't click on the "More data stored about this device" or the "Manage mobile devices" links) and reloaded the Play Store tab in my browser and the device (phone) reappeared again. Smile So it seems that simply opening the Dashboard fixes the problem.
