This is what the OP recommends:

I'd still like to know whether it's actually necessary to connect USB. Maybe I'll get around to tearing down my dual boot and rooting to try it without.
[Nook Color Android Development] FreeMan2012:
constant reboots

I purchased an NC with 1.2 back in May, rooted it w/MN 4.5.6 and all was good. The NC has sat, mostly unused, since then, but somewhere along the line, it was turned on, WiFi was on and it picked up the 1.3 update.

I DL'd the 4.5.18 & 4.6.16 updates from the OP, dropped them on my bootable SD, and followed the instructions in the OP for the update. After applying 5.18, everything seemed OK as I looked around, until the NC rebooted. It didn't do a hard reboot, just went to the outline logo, the "n" color logo, then back to the lock screen. It takes about 15-20 seconds to make it through this cycle. It will sit at the lock screen for maybe a minute, then boot cycle again. Note - this isn't a standard boot loop - it will complete the boot, I can get in and start doing things on the Nook, but then it will reboot itself.

It's early in the morning, so I pressed on, and installed 4.6.16, and it continues to do the same thing. I re-downloaded the two nooters, copied them back to the SD and reapplied 5.18, and it continues to reboot. Are there MD5s for the files so I can double check to be sure mine are good?

After inserting my 'standard' SD card, I've attempted to get into RM to run fix permissions, but I don't have enough time between reboots to get it run - I can start it, but the NC reboots before it's finished.

Any thoughts, tips & suggestions are most appreciated.

FreeMan

NOTE: It's early in the morning, I haven't read every post here, but I did read through 6-8 pages worth (around page 132-140ish) and didn't find anything similar. Please don't shoot me if this has been covered, a simple kick in the right direction will be sufficient.

Aditional Info: I cannot get the NC to turn on without plugging it into USB. The power button does not do anything
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I suspect you are referring to,

6. Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)

If using Flashable CWM SDCard this should boot you into recovery.

If using eMMC CWM Recovery instead of SD CWM Recovery, boot to recovery.

Frankly, I don't remember ever doing that with MN. I don't follow directions a precisely as I should at times.

I vaguely remember in the Autonooter process there was a similar step to force the NC on maybe because it might not respond using the power button (like acting as a brick).

Maybe the NC starts slightly differently when using the usb cable to activate it from a cold-off.

Hmm, I'll have to try that the next time I apply MN or Dalingrin's OC kernal...

Thank you for the reminder!
[Nook Color Android Development] swears11:
I tried this and now I have even less applications showing up in the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Having observed this myself and following this thread, I have to conclude that it's Google saying that some apps are not for the Nook Color. My NC had all the apps and one day, they stop showing up in Market.

Getting Market Working

I've never had a rooted stock system and can't vouch for any of this, but here's a recommendation from elsewhere on getting the Market working under MN:
[Nook Color Android Development] behic:
I'll be trying this tonight. I wiped my nook clean last night to a stock 1.3 build and it's working perfectly fine. I just made sure to wipe data / system / cache via CWR and all is well. I'm hoping staying with an earlier version of MN (which I was on prior to 1.3 upgrade) will be sufficient and allow me the Android experience I was used to before. If not, I'll just wipe it back clean and wait for another revision. I'll report back with my results.

Edit:: Nope, didn't work. Installed with old market, nothing coming up. Tried to install new market via apk, wouldn't allow me even after putting it in system/app (old market allowed me to search for Super Manager and install it). Even ran MN6.16 after and still same old same old. Disappointing.
[Nook Color Android Development] sangahm:
Did you change the resolution to 160 and reboot? This did the trick for me, although it didn't seem to take the first time, so had to do it again.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
SuperUser update

Bummer!

I got prompted that there was a SuperUser update on my NC. I told it to go ahead and apply it. After it applied and rebooted, my NC was stuck in its first ever bootloop. I had to go back to factory and I am starting the MN process all over again. Just be warned about the SU update I guess ...
[Nook Color Android Development] behic:
No, I stopped bothering and created a CM7 uSD card to boot from and reverted my Nook color to stock.

CM7 off of SD has been more than pleasurable (basic 2GB SanDisk card, doesn't run well off my 8GB AData class 10), and makes me wish I had done so earlier for when I want the unlocked Android goodness, while still keeping my NC the reader I wanted. If the Android nook app was a bit better (when viewing my list of magazines, the resolution / layout seems to have them overlapping and I can't click on older issues, the complete experience is almost there) I'd install it to main memory.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I have been encountering the same symptoms. I noted that the following apps were auto-updated shortly after signing into Market the first time:

Adobe Air

Adobe Flash Player 11

Gmail

ROM Manager

Superuser

So I unchecked the "Allow automatic updating" option for each of these apps and then uninstalled the updates by pressing the uninstall button. Seems to work in that I can now reboot the NC without the boot-loop. I doubt if the updates are major release updates with significant additional features.

I didn't take the time to determine which update was causing the boot loop issue, though I suspect it may be with Adobe Flash Player 11.

Maybe this would work for you?
[Nook Color Android Development] bobzdar:
It's flash that is causing the bootloop, there's a fix for it in another thread but the gist of it is to uninstall flash and air using titanium backup, then flash the fix using cwm and you can safely update flash after that (I'm currently running v11). To fix the market issue, I did a data wipe for the market in titanium backup and it appears to be fully functional now, no other steps taken.
[Nook Color Android Development] lexluthor:
Has anyone done the superuser update and not had a problem after the next reboot?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Yes. The problem is probably Adobe Flash as indicated in a recent post above. Download and apply this update http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1208896. The fix is GMPOWER's. I also uninstalled Adobe Air.
[Nook Color Android Development] lexluthor:
marckusdavis didn't say anything about installing flash/air, so I wasn't sure if updating superuser was ok.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
For me, it wasn't Flash, it, for some reason, was the Superuser automatic update. I'm on my third restore now because I wasn't fast enough the first two times to stop the autoupdate of Flash, which also caused the bootloop my first two re-root attempts. I have stopped autoupdates now for Flash, Air, and Superuser and my NC is finally back up again. I don't know why SU did that, but perhaps because I have my build.prop set to an HTC Flyer and there was a Flyer version update for SU that the NC can't handle? Anyway, I'm glad to have it back and running again. I'm going to take an image before I apply Dal's kernel again, just in case (that's when it just do happened to bootloop the last two times, though Adobe snuck in there)...
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Double bummer!

Got it all working and was restoring my apps. and rebooted it and bootloop again!! Not sure which app. it was, but one of them that I restored crashed ADW. Don't know if there's any connection, but I'm restoring from my image and hope to find what it was and avoid re-installing it... :(

Update: Wow. ADW did it again - bootloop. I guess I'll have to stick with Zeam...

Titanium Backup

Hi there out in the jungle,

can't get my titanium backup working. After backing up i can't see any app. When I start tatanium it tells me that I should allow non market apps but I can't find this setting.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanx
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Fire up NookColor Tools. I think it's the first checkbox which should already be checked once you fire it up.
[Nook Color Android Development] rfryar:
I have a strange problem.. I got the boot loop and had to remove the Adobe Air app from the system app directory. After removing that and rebooting my nook, my MAC is blank. Now I can not get a wireless connection at all.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Scroll down, the file is memory card size specific and they are .rar files, so you will have to unpack them. Rar is similar to zip.

Thanks for the reply.

This CheckBox was already set but Titanium still didn't backup anything...

Any other suggestion?

Thanks for helping me out...
[Nook Color Android Development] audioscience:
I had a similar issue.

Uncheck it, exit out of settings and then try to recheck it. I had to do it several times and the check-box always appeared checked even after I unchecked it and exited.

After a few tries it registered and Titanium started working properly (in my case it was for side-loading backups).
[Nook Color Android Development] GonzoTheNose:
Thanx,

I will try this. Updated Busybox, but that didn't helped..

Titanium dosen't show any app...
[Nook Color Android Development] Bobioden:
I was having the boot loop. I did the 8 shutdowns, it got me back to 1.0, updated to 1.3. Installed NM 4.5.18, then 4.6.16. Everything seems to be working great. EXCEPT, all the apps I have installed from Android Market are not showing up. I can go to the Android Market on my computer, go under my account, and all the apps show there, but they are not showing up to let me install them on my Nook Color.

Any Suggestions? I miss Dolphin browser, and the only one I see now in the Market on my NC is one for $4.99
[Nook Color Android Development] rreeves:
Did you follow the instructions for the missing apps in the market in the first post of this thread?

I had to do the Fix Permissions and the instructions twice to get the apps to show. I think the first time I did not reboot after running Fix Permissions. 2nd time I did.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bobioden:
That did not work, Now I am getting a Server Error and in a box RETRY, and it does nothing
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Now i have another problem in the market, whatever i download from there cannot be installed on the Nook...
[Nook Color Android Development] FreeMan2012:
I finally resolved the boot loop issue, only to run into what appeared to be the limited market view issue (I figure all 3 versions of angry birds ought to be there, right?) I followed the instructions in the OP to resolve that, and now I get a blank market screen that says "No matching content in Android Market."

I'm on BN 1.3, applied 4.5.18 then 4.6.15. I allowed it to finish updating to flash 11, then rolled that back. (I don't get any boot loops). Then I did the fix permissions, then the market fix.

Any suggestions? I'd love to get TiB on here to do the full uninstall of Flash, but I can't get anything in the market at all.
[Nook Color Android Development] GonzoTheNose:
Do the market fix as mentioned before, chech the lcd-density and than clear the data from the market. That helped me...
[Nook Color Android Development] joehempel:
Followed all the instructions getting the same market error with no apps showing as the previous poster.
[Nook Color Android Development] FreeMan2012:
Sounds great, I'll give that a try.

I've seen mention of changing the LCD density, but I've not seen any instructions on how. Any tips on where to find the instructions?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Search for FlashPlayer_Fix.zip and install it. It seems to fix mine without having to apply the lcd density hack (which didn't work as I wish it would have, seemed to affect other programs...).

Maybe FlashPlayer_Fix.zip should be added to the OP???
[Nook Color Android Development] FreeMan2012:
Found the FlashPlayer_fix.zip (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16526691&postcount=7), and installed it via CWM. Still no boot loop, but still no market, either. Getting the same "No matching content in Android Market." message. Re-did the market fix procedures in the OP, still the same.

I also tried uninstalling flash 10.3, but still no market. Another trip through the market fix still didn't seem to do anything.

I'm willing to try the screen density change, but I'm not sure how to go about that. Any pointers on that or other suggestions?

TIA

[Nook Color Android Development] sangahm:
See newly created thread that addresses this.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
RootExplorer is fairly simple to use to do it and it's worth the $ for everything else you can use it for. On the LCD change though, I have only found it to be partially successful. I also have manually downloaded Flash, Air and ROM Manager apks and used Nookcolor Tools to remove the original ones first. I have set my LCD Res. back to 178, where I like it, and I can still search and install from the Market, but I have my NC set to look like the HTC Flyer (see my sig. block), which I'm pretty sure affects what I can see/install.

Market - Download was unsuccessful

Had the boot loop issue due to Flash/Air. Flashed two different zip fix files, however neither worked. Was forced to do a clean install and then use manual nooter, 4.6.16. Now I am unable to download apps from the market. I am getting the error - "Download was unsuccessful". Suggestions?

Thanks, in advance.
[Nook Color Android Development] f4phantomii:
Had a NC that was previously rooted using this method. Had it working for months with no issues, then it mysteriously went into a boot loop(s) and reverted entirely to stock.

As it turns out, I still had the SD card that I used the first time and it was a simple process to re-root.

Stock it was at software version 1.2. After re-rooting with the 4.6.16 zip file, it still shows version 1.2.

Is that correct or should it show 1.3 and I missed a step?
[Nook Color Android Development] joej:
Rooting does not upgrade to 1.3. You will need to sideload 1.3 to upgrade to 1.3 .
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
When you re-rooted, if on v1.3, you needed to do the 4.5.18 first and then 4.6.16 as well as the permissions fix. See the OP for the details and order, etc.
[Nook Color Android Development] saber0091:
CWMr v3.0.2.8, NC 1.2 rooted with manual nooter 4.6.16 .

About once a week, trying to boot up the NC results in the Manual Nooter boot animation getting stuck. It shows "nook color", "color" only, then clears screen puts up "nook co" and gets stuck trying to draw the "o".

I don't imagine this is an unusual issue, I'm just not finding how to deal with it. Typically I just return to stock and redo the manual nooter, both from my SD card. It's a timesink and a pain.

So, instead of doing that, how would I go about troubleshooting this thing and attempting some sort of fix?
[Nook Color Android Development] mising:
Don't update super user when it pops up from the tray. Also, don't update Adobe flash or Air. Once I started leaving those alone, I have had no more boot loops. There is also a zip some where in this thread for an Adobe fix. If you can get into clock work recovery and flash it, it will fix the boot loop.

Good luck.
[Nook Color Android Development] saber0091:
Cool, I'll look into the flash fix.

I'd been thinking it was the Superuser or the ROM Manager update doing it, seemed to happen every time after a reboot once these two updated. Not sure why they'd be causing this...
[Nook Color Android Development] masondoctorjt:
I'm glad someone else had this happen. Now I can fix mine.
[Nook Color Android Development] mshilly:
I think this may be due to an update of Adobe Flash that you may have recently got. Happened to my wife about a week ago. Search for a fix for the Adobe Flash update.
[Nook Color Android Development] Mastiff:
Actually you need a file that fixes both the Flash and the Air update. You will find it at the top of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18518923 I wasted much of my afternoon trying to find out why the "#&%"#& this thing happened, and when I found that thread, everything clicked, and I was able to recover from the boot loop.

I have another problem: I can't find the place to open for apps not from the market anywhere in Nook Color Tools. This is with ManualNootered 1.3 (which in all other ways is the best I have used so far). Anybody knows where to find that setting? I've been through all those pages of settings under All settings in Nook Color Tools, but there's just nothing that I can find anywhere.
[Nook Color Android Development] angomy:
It's the checkbox without a label on the very first screen of the Nook Color Tools. Uncheck it if it's checked and recheck it again to make sure it's set.

I was having problems with eternal boot stalling (at the default Nook Color animation, removed the custom one) after Flash updated itself -- it was left unchecked for auto, so I don't know if I fat fingered it -- and decided just to re-stock/unroot until 1.4 and keep a CM7 SD install. I really only want additional Hulu/Netflix access since I play few games and prefer B&N's native app for reading, which is 80% of what I use the NC for.
[Nook Color Android Development] Mastiff:
Thanks, that's what I thought it was. But it's checked, and if I uncheck it and go out of settings, it will be checked again when I get back in. And still Titanium Backup complains. I guess I'll have to do a little ADB dance. There is a description at the NookDevs. I tried it yesterday and then the boot loop started. So I thought it was because of that, but I don't think I had rebooted after the market update of the Adobe BS, so that was probably the reason.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Uncheck it and recheck it then leave NookColorTools this is a known bug with the app.
[Nook Color Android Development] badgermac:
I dont' claim to be an expert, but picked up a NC on a steal (not literal) last week, arriving this. SPent the weekend researching and reviewing options.

Unit arrived with the 5/1 partition.

I cna get 4.5.18 working partially (it boots) but 4.6.x doesn't. It loops on the mod flashing Nook Color screen.

Tried the Adobe fix, tried multiple ways:

1. Loading both nooters without reboot and with a reboot in between

2. Added in permission fixing in all over the place.

3. Tried the Adobe Fix listed in other posts.

4. Re-paritioned over to the "old" 1/5 format.

Nothing seems to work with 4.6.x for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] joehempel:
None of the fixes worked for me either :\ I just went to MIUI and am happy as heck that that works.
[Nook Color Android Development] mejack03:
Me too having the same issue with 4.6.X :(
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Assuming the issue is sticking on the NookColor boot screen.

You need to clean and reset your NC. There are references to this process in other posts.

Then register the NC with B&N, and upgrade to 1.3. Depending on your wifi connection, you may want to update your B&N library before proceeding.

Then powerdown and boot to CMW using your Sandisk uSD card and install 4.5.18, 4.6.16.

Then boot, sign in the G-apps, uncheck then check the box in NookTools as described above.

Powerdown and boot to CMW again.

Install the Adobe fix, and Dalingrin's oc.

Remove the uSD card and reboot the NC.

A key to successful MN 4.6.16 is start with a clean, registered, and upgraded to 1.3 NC.

Try again, good luck!

3 questions for manual nooter.

1. I installed the zips for adobe and don't get the boot loop anymore. Is it safe to update the superuser from the market?

2. I don't see an option in the menu for live wallpapers. Does this work with manual nooter?

3. News and weather app. It gets stuck on loading everytime. Does this work. Do I need to install a new apk for this?

thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
1. Yes, it is safe.

2. I don't use live wallpapers, I do not have an answer.

3. News and weather app does not work (on my install). I just leave it there, unused.
[Nook Color Android Development] badgermac:
THanks for responding. The problem I'm having is that 4.5.18 works fine. Tried both rebooting between and not. .18 lets me log in, 4.6.16 leaves me with the looping splash screen, I never get to a point where I can do anything.

SOmething different iwth mine is that mine came with 1.3 When I do a factory reset it defaults back to 1.3, not 1.2. I'd be fine running 1.2 rooted but haven't been able to get 1.2 working.

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

To append, I'm starting with 1.3 (since that's the base on the machine after factory reset) and registering, logging in. Once That's done I'm loading via my 3.0.2.8 bootable card 4.5.16, rebooting w/o card, checking/unchecking nooktools box, fixing permissions, booting card, running 4.6.16 zip, rebooting, and this is where it hangs.

[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
The kernel doesn't have to match the rest of the OS (except for kernel modules) - someone could theoretically move the Nookie Froyo kernel over top of the stock one and it should work.

Not that it's a good idea, battery life sucks badly on non B&N kernels.

On another note, I was getting a lot of random force closes in the market. It worked, for the most part (one app won't download, the rest are fine.) Is everyone having this problem? Random FC while in the market app?

I have a fix in mind, doing a nandroid backup before I actually run it :)
