I had a similar problem and my NC was down for a week while I tried to figure it out. I tried a bunch of stuff (multiple wipes, etc.) and it turned out that when I deleted the boot animation ZIP file, all was well again. That said, without ADB access, I don't know how you can do this (since you can't boot) without wiping and taking it out of the MN files like I did.

[Nook Color Android Development] roywood:
I have the same problem and am going to have to start over. Where is the book animation zip so I can remove it and hopefully not have this problem again?
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
i did a clean start - removed everything and started over again. I had a backup just a few days ago through Titanium so not a big issue...

I read that updating Flash could cause also this issue, and i think i clicked update all after i corrected my device for 1.3.
[Nook Color Android Development] vrman:
Had the same issue and you're right. I updated a couple of items at a time and the bootloop happened after I updated flash and adobe air.
[Nook Color Android Development] bretzke:
It's in \data\local\

I removed it from both MN zip files and flashed per instructions (as I had 5 times before without luck) and haven't had a frozen boot again. I miss the mod'ed boot animation, but not the semi-bricked NC!

I wouldn't be suprised it's a Flash upgrade thing as the above suggest. But mine auto-updated Flash and Air as soon as I was rooted and had Market...then the boot animation freeze/cycling.

Market visibility issue

After initially rooting the Nook Color, and using the Market visibility fix, I was able to get all of the apps I wanted. However, in the past 3 days, I suddenly have lost access to some pretty major apps from the market (facebook, twitter, tweet deck etc). I have tried the market fix again, tried restoring permissions, and even tried rerooting the Nook again, and I still cannot get full market visibility back. Is there another fix for market visibility or some sort of update to MN that could fix this?
[Nook Color Android Development] behic:
I've got the same problem. Luckily my twitter app still works, but Market won't show it to me. I uninstalled Facebook before the 1.3 update (it wasn't working right) and Market won't let me search for it, either.

My 1.3 does not work after root

I restored 1.0.1 tonight and upgrade to 1.3 stock firmware. After that I use manual rooter 4.5.18 and 4.6.16. I also follow every step.

But here are the two problems:

1. Market does not show all apps including facebook. I follow the instruction to clean all cache and restart twice. No use

2. Allow 3-rd party option is not showing in nook color tools. Only the disclaimer is showing underneath..

Anyone knows how I can fix this? I really like the stock rom and the some of the color book for my kids.

Thanks a million!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
These issues are caused by the google android market "device awareness"... the same fix for other AOS's apply... set DPI... clear market data... log into market... accept terms and conditions.

If you set DPI to 160.... the above will always be a short term fix and have to be repeated daily (or very close to daily) If you set it to 240 it seems to work as long as it is set there. If you revert to older market and avoid the update of market you do not need to set DPI.

NOTE: I do not know what issues this will cause with B&N sites... getting books... in store functionality... or B&N market.
[Nook Color Android Development] joej:
I tried setting to 240... still does not seem to fix. Do I set it in build.xml or somewhere else? I still can't seem to see Tweetdeck, Facebook etc after I followed all the steps here.

Youtube

I've read through all messages and did a search for 'youtube' but didn't see this ...

Youtube as it is installed in the MN 4.6.16 works great but I upgraded. Big mistake! Youtube would sometimes load a video but mostly I got the 'Touch to Retry' message and never could view videos. I deleted the update and installed the apk off of the MN 4.6.16 and all is working fine again.

Is this a known issue or just an issue for me?

I have yet to find anyone with a rooted 1.3 to have a fully populated Market (i.e. Facebook and other apps missing). I have tried all the fixes mentioned in the CM7 discussion on this topic. I have tried loading 4.6.16 directly without loading 4.5.18 first but this does not fully enable the Market either. I was able to get it working for a short time by uninstalling Marketupdater, uninstalling Market Updates, and clearing the data in Googles Framework. I checked later and it was back to not fully populating the Market. We have two Nooks and the one with Autonootered 1.1 has an older and fully functional market.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Hello i have 2 problems

- i cant install apk outside the market i am not allowed. Any ideas how to lift this?

- also my market doesnt show all apps... for example i cant find Pulse...
[Nook Color Android Development] hikersc:
You have to enable non-Market apps using Nook Color Tools. When you start Nook Color Tools you will see a check mark or empty box on the top left. The description (Allow install of Non-Market Apps) text color is the same as the background so the description appears to be missing. Either check the box or if it is already checked then clear and re-check the box.

As mentioned above, there does not appear to be a fix for the rooted 1.3 Market.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Well...perhaps the issues are the fingerprint? In 1.1, the fingerprint ends up being:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys

In the original MN for 1.2/1.3, the fingerprint is unchanged from the one issued by B&N-

for 1.2

ro.build.fingerprint=enc/zoom2/zoom2/zoom2:2.2.1/MASTER/1.2.0:user/test-keys

for 1.3

ro.build.fingerprint=enc/zoom2/zoom2/zoom2:2.2.1/MASTER/1.3.0:user/test-keys

In the "fixed" MN, the fingerprint is:

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/ZUJJ4:user/release-keys

Try experimenting with the fingerprint - set it to the one from 1.1 and see what happens (although that says it's an eclair version). Anyway....give it a whirl...
[Nook Color Android Development] ThrowingKs:
This actually removed apps from the Market. Is there any way to get it to the way it was before? This should be removed from OP, too.
[Nook Color Android Development] fippo:
Yeah, I just followed these instructions on a 1.3 rooted Nook and now the Market won't load at all for me (just brings up an Error box).

Edit : After rebooting about five times, it appears the Market is functioning properly...

Google Calendar with mailfunction

Hi folks,

after upgrading to 1.3 and reinstalling the nooter i could't get the calendar to sync anymore. While selecting the calendars from the settings the application terminates. Syncing the calendar ist without effect. I've tried to stop the application and cleard the data, but without effect.

Is ther anyone who knows a solution for that?

Thanx for your help...

Will 1.3 rooted work if I just re-apply 5.25 version after going from stock 1.2 to 1.3? The recent update coupled with applying 5.18 and 6.16 isn't doing so hot for me. The NC has been freezing and the battery indicator is way off, and it seems very choppy and laggy. I had 0 problems under 5.25 and 1.2.

Any advice? Do I finally take the plunge into booting off SD if I want a tablet style experience and just return the NC to stock and do a CM7 off SD card?
[Nook Color Android Development] hikersc:
These were good suggestions that I tried out this morning. So far, I have found no ro.build.fingerprint that will work. I also tried to see if the fingerprint used with CM7 might help but it did not work either. I also tried the above with the marketupdater uninstall and market rollback but this did not work as well. I feel certain that there is some fix for the Market for a rooted 1.3 stock but we just have not stumbled on it yet.

Thanks again for the suggestion. At least it is something else eliminated.

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

I found that going from stock 1.3 straight to 4.6.16 (without 4.5.18) works well except for the fact that the Android Market will not show a number of apps (i.e. Facebook) that will run just fine on the rooted stock 1.3. To compensate for this shortcoming, I run CM7 off an SD card with a boot menu. If I need an app unavailable on the rooted stock 1.3, I boot to CM7, install the app then copy the .apk file to a location visible to the rooted stock 1.3 where I can run an install program. It is a compromise as these side loaded apps will not update or show in your apps list.

At this point, I am tempted to just install CM7 to eMMC. The Nook Android App (tablet version) is very close to the stock Nook (except for the off-line dictionary and children's book reader). The rooted Stock Nook just has too many limitations due to the B&N software.

Just to confirm that my calendar sync and the missing apps in Market issues are issues on my updated to B&N 1.3/MN 4.6.16a / Dalingrin OC 9/1/11 NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Because of the calendar issue, I restored back to B&N 1.2.0; MN 4.6.16a; Dalingrin's OC 06/30/11.

Using the 1.3.0, 4.6.16a, 09/01/11 setup, the OC seemed to work much better and the WiFi connections at other locations was much quicker/easier to connect (though these are just observations).

Ha! now my signature is wrong.... :)

Market Issue

Hi there,

now I have a market issue, too. Yesterday i cleard the cache ot the market an the data of the framework. Now I can't find several apps and "my apps" from market is totally empty. In addition titanium backup shows no apps to restore. Any suggestions?

[Nook Color Android Development] MentalDragon:
Ok is anybody else having issues with the Nook Color rebooting itself and getting stuck at boot animation screen (nook color written out)? This is third time. I came from CM7 back to stock. Then upgraded to 1.3. Then MN 4-5.18 and ran it for a moment then went straight into 4-6.16. Well i experience this boot loop so I had to go back to stock factory image and go through steps again and had boot loop again. Today I went through steps again but didnt update to 4-6.16. Everything was fine except for Market limitations but I can get over that. Ran fine for about 5 hours. Decided ok lets do the 4-6.16 update. I did update and got a market update that saw a few more apps this time around. Then it went idle and I looked back over at it and low and behold it was in a boot loop once again.

Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here? I have not had any problems with my nook color until now. I guess ill have to go back to 4-5.18 until a better solution.
[Nook Color Android Development] roustabout:
MentaDragon, what I think you are seeing is an issue with Flash getting updated automatically by the market.

The BN flash is installed in /system/app/Flashplayer.apk, which the A market can't touch.

But it *can* install an incompatible upgrade in /data, and does so.

Next time your device reboots, the two variants seem to fight and you are stuck.

My fix for this is:

- install Titanium early on

- use Titanium to uninstall Flash from /system/app

- install Flash from the marketplace
[Nook Color Android Development] MentalDragon:
Thanks alot. Ill be fixing this after my son's soccer practice.
[Nook Color Android Development] reebz:
I was having the exact problem you were having. Bad Flash was the culprit. Peruse this thread, it's only 12 posts.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1208896

Whatever you do, don't update Flash from the Market. uninstall using TB, then install using supplied Flash Fix
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
For what it is worth, the Market issue bleeds into 1.2.0, MN 4.6.16a, Dalingrins OC 06/30/11, too. But calendar works. And I did get Market to function.

Under the above setup, using Titanium Backup, I performed the following:

uninstalled the Market Updater and Market

reapplied MN 4.6.16, 4.6.16a, and Dalingrins OC 06/30/11

rebooted and did the market fix that appears in the OP's first post

on reboot noted that Market was at 3.0.27, then removed Market Updater using Titanium Backup

verified B&N update was set to manual

Now market appears to work but I have five apps that appear to Market as not installed, though they are. I should probably dig the .apk's and reinstall them. ?

Because Calendar works with the above setup, I will hold off on updating to B&N 1.3 until it (B&N 1.3) has a Calendar fix.

I suspect that Google is getting tougher on rooted/hacked devices. Probably a result of some legal or contractual issues we are not privy to.

Not sure if this is a MN issue, but magazines and newspapers are unavailable to me with the Nook Book Shop app. Anyone else having this problem?
[Nook Color Android Development] gsutton:
I can not download any of my Nook books or magazines with my MN'd 1.2 setup. They are available under Autonooter 1.1.0, however. Perhaps it is indeed a MN and/or 1.2 issue. I have tried many times to restore, deregister, and everything else to no avail. I can not get the Nook app to even install on my device, so I am stuck with 1.1.0 for now.
[Nook Color Android Development] behic:
I was able to get my new books and magazines on MN 1.2, so I'm hesitant to say it was a MN issue. I've not yet tried on MN 1.3 to buy anything new.

How to run Fix Permission ? Please more describe, thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
With BN1.3 rooted, just open ROM manager, under "Utilites" select fix permission.

I followed the instructions in OP and my rooted BN1.3 loads magazines and books fine. Also calendar syncs.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Your question 1: It meant that run 4.5.18 then repeat operation with 4.6.16 from item 1-7 again ? Hmm? It does? Actually, you need to run 4.5.18 then 4.6.16 then you can optional run Dalingrin's OC 09/01/11. Run here is defined as installing the associated zip using the CWM installer.

Your question 2: How to run Fix Permission. After reboot and unlocking your device select Zeam Launcher. Run Fix Permissions from Rom Manager (- 1.3 Only after running 4.6.16). You do this by touching the applications icon then scroll, find, and touch the Rom Manager icon. Scroll the screen in Rom Manager to Utilities and under Utilites is the Fix Permissions. Touch that selection and touch the yes button.

This Market fix worked for me: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257572

It is the same DizzyDen suggested a while back (adjusting LCD density). My NC was already set at 160, so I changed it to 240, then back to 160, and voila a fully populated and updated Market, complete with all my apps.

Maybe its time for all of us to use CM7 or any other ROM? As the problems after the upgrade to 1.3 seem that cannot be fixed...

Its weird that B&N actually messed up the things. Before i bought the Nook if i new that there was going to be such a problem i wouldnt have bought it at first place. And many potential buyers that are using XDA might be afraid of doing so now....

This Market fix worked for me as well, however, I have not changed my resolution back to 187 (which is what I had it set to) yet and I did not download LCD Resolution (couldn't see it in Market or find in w/Google) and just used Root Explorer to change the res. in the build.prop file (now I can see LCD Resolution amongst other things in Market). Also it only restored about 90% of my apps., there are still 3 that show as not being installed, but they are. I'll update this post once I get a chance to change the res. back to 187. I'm wondering about a fingerprint issue myself, I think I'll play with that too.
[Nook Color Android Development] Temetka:
Woot.

I followed all the instructions and ran fix permission from the rom manager and now im good to go.

My question is do I need to select zeam launcher everytime or can I run the apps from the B&N stock launcher? I liked their interface, I just wanted the android market.

Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind. This is what I get for not playing with the device first and learning for myself. This is freakin' awesome. Not my Nook is much more useful to me. I have a killer android tablet, with my barnes and Nible interface (which I love btw) and full market access. Thanks!

How?

Secondly and this is vastly more important to me. After nootering my Nook Color no longer mounts as a USB drive when I connect it to the tower of sheer badassness (aka my pc).

EDIT: Figured out the icon and widget placement deal. Kinda wish there was more room for tighter rows and columns but its ok I guess.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
How?:

1. Dalingrin's OC: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451 -- I downloaded the correct kernal version, and installed it using ClockWorkMod. I have CWM 3.0.2.8 image installed on a Scandisk micro SD card and have copied the B&N updates, MN versions, and OC kernals onto it. In addition, I used CWM backup to backup my NC before applying those CWM based apps/updates.

2. As for NookTweaks and CPU Spy; those are downloads from Android Market.

As for mounting as a drive on your pc, make sure you wakeup and unlock your NC. Then Windoze should recognize it. If you have a micro SD card in your NC, then two drives should be recognized.

I hope this helps.

Attempting to charge the unit may reboot the unit. But you may have to hold it for many, many seconds.

[Nook Color Android Development] audioscience:
I've installed 1.3 now with no issues other than missing some apps from the market.

It seems that changing the LCD density in the build.prop file is what solves it? Is this true? If so, what does it need to be set at permanently? 160? It's currently at 240 in this line as follows:

# ro.sf.lcd_density=240

Does this fix work permanently for everyone?

Thanks.
