Upgrading to this from Minirooter v2?

I wiped and upgraded my nooted 1.1 NC to stock 1.2 then flashed it with the MiniNooter v2 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1080593

It works well, but I'm wondering if I'll be able to upgrade to the Manual Nooter without re-wiping again. I have a bootable CWM SD that I can use to flash stuff.

Any thoughts?

I have tried several times to install 4.5.25 over 4.5.18. After each time the marketplace fails.

Funny thing is that I have not had trouble with two other NC that are brand new and have applied 4.5.25.
[Nook Color Android Development] McKrout:
Just went through the root process on the NC and it went smooth, but my market's missing apps. Tried the process suggested in the first post, but no good. Looking for the MLB At Bat app that I have on my phone, but doesn't appear in the market on the NC. Suggestions would be great... I'll continue browsing the other 90 pages of the thread as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] vinal:
If you were using OC kernel, try downloading kernel from Dalingrin's thread. Worked for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] vinal:
With earlier MN whenever I installed app from Titanium, appstore, or SD card, my market apps would disappear. If I wiped market cache and data, they would reappear. Sometimes I had to wipe twice and/or reboot, but they eventually came back.

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color Android Development] McKrout:
Have cleared data / cache and rebooted several times and still nothing. If I could load the apps from the SD card, I would at this point. Also, I've noticed that Netflix was showing and allowed me to install, but I get a black screen and the audio sounds like the chipmunks... I know, it's unrelated to the issue I posted about, but I thought it was odd. I'll check App forum for info on that though.

Flash also seems to be one of my missing apps in the market, wich is a bit annoying.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Looking through this logcat of someone who's upgraded from I'm assuming .18 to .25 there seems to be permission issues again (signature issue).

My suggestion is to try and run fix permissions in ROM Manager (included) and maybe seeing if that helps fix the issue.

To those who have Gmail failing too, when you clear Cache and/or data does Gmail start to work properly or does it still misbehave? Note: You may have to clear Gmails Cache/Data along with Framework Services, unsure on this.
[Nook Color Android Development] Kelvala:
The page forward and back were like reversed, it was VERY weird and frustrating. I did the manual update instead of the nooter.
[Nook Color Android Development] framitz:
I wiped and installed NC to Stock 1.2 with CWM. Activated, then installed all B&N content, then flashed ManualNooter 4.5.25, installed apps and tested.

THEN I flashed MiniNooter V2 over the top.

Finally I removed the unwanted apps that MiniNooter installed.

Everything is working great.

Overclocked to 1.1ghz, market is good to go, and still have Nook reader fully working.
[Nook Color Android Development] runningslow:
I sideloaded MLB At Bat. I took the .APK from my phone.
[Nook Color Android Development] McKrout:
I might have to do that as well since none of my attempts have corrected the issue. I think it's amusing that one of the recommended apps in the market is the Kindle app, yet I can't find a large portion of the apps that I currently have on my phone. Tried several reboots, have cleared cache and data for the market and the services app (as advised in the first post) and tried the fix permissions bit that was suggested a few posts up.

No idea what the issue is, but it's frustrating as hell, that's for sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] caxiem:
Upgraded from 18 to 25 and wifi stopped working. Installed the OC kernel back and fixed everything. Market, gmail, flash 10.3 all work for me. Thanks for the hard work.
[Nook Color Android Development] theseus9t6:
Tried it without success. Even wiped the cache and data to no avail. I guess this is what backup roms are for ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] svet-am:
I am using the latest MN. I used the 1.0.1 restore, did the 8 failed and PWR+n to restore it, logged in, upgraded to 1.2, then applied MN4.5.25.

On the first boot after MN everything is fine. Subsequent reboots I'm now in a boot loop during the bootanimation.

Anyone else seen this? Am I missing something simple?
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Looks like you don't need it anymore, but the kids book fix was actually just to restore a stock file. Check here for details.
[Nook Color Android Development] BigBadger:
Market trouble after 4.5.25 update

Market would not work for me after the update. Same behavior reported by others. Namely, it would start to open but then just close. :(

Managed to get past it by overwriting what was in /system/apps wi the vending.apk from the zip file. :confused: but :)
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Wait from what zip?
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
It just restored the stock multitouch file which was getting overwritten by the old one used for 2.1 this was addressed in .18
[Nook Color Android Development] McKrout:
My thoughts would be the apk in the Nooter zip. After the root completes the Vending.apk is from 2008, but the one in the zip (if you open it up and look) is from 2010.

I know that's the file I've been trying to update all day since going through and rooting in hopes of getting access to the rest of the market, but I just ended up with it randomly closing now on top of missing apps.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Well the one in .25 is from 2011 from what I'm seeing in my copy of MN.

I also had no problems with Market which makes me wonder what is going on here.

Like I said someone that's getting the FC error needs to try and run a fix permissions script or try running it from ROM Manager as this might very well fix it.

Also if Apps are missing that were there in .18 but not in .25 did you change anything besides running the .25 udpate?
[Nook Color Android Development] McKrout:
I could very well have the date wrong in the zip file, but the copy that's loaded in my /system/app folder is from 2008.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
I wonder if this problem and the boot looping could somehow involve ROM manager and CWM? A brand new NC with 4.5.25 would have no other ROM's installed and nothing in "data".

I don't use ROM manager and have not have any problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] AnomalyInk:
I also had the market force close issue, I ended up restoring stock 1.2 and reapplying MN 4.5.25. After that, the new market worked perfectly but the BN apps re-downloaded to the book shelf and could not be opened. ended up having to wipe and deregister and then re-register and reapply MN. now everything is working nicely. It seems that for whatever reason the new MN is not able to overwrite some of the previous MN files.
[Nook Color Android Development] andream2g:
You got me curious so I looked through my System/App list and every single app is 2008. Apart from Netflix having a black screen and chipmunk voice and the "old" network location problem everything works though and Market shows all apps.

When I go to Data/apps though they all show current dates.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I doubt ROM manager or CWM are causing this boot looping issue. Chances are it's the Flash 10.3 update, it seems for some people it's auto-updating while for others it is not.
[Nook Color Android Development] McKrout:
I didn't check the other apps, but that's odd... at the moment though, I've spent so much time trying to fix this today that I'm ready to smash the damn thing with a hammer. I hate when problems get the best of me and this one has done just that.
[Nook Color Android Development] fluidmotion:
I am using MN .25 and am unable to install Twitter apps like tweetdeck and twicca. I am getting the "Installation error, missing shared library" error. Any idea what went wrong?
[Nook Color Android Development] svet-am:
I think I figured our what was wrong. I found a prior/different thread on how updating the Flash player can make what I'm seeing happen...
[Nook Color Android Development] markawashington:
Yeap all 2008 system/app here
[Nook Color Android Development] bchau:
ADB does not work

I have installed the MN 4.5.25. Haven't touched the kernel. Everything is fine so far. I can browse and download and install apps from the market.

The only issue for me is adb is not working. I connect the NC to my Win 7computer with the USB cable. From the command prompt, I type:

adb devices

The list of devices attached is blank.

The adb works when I boot the NC from the SD card running Nookie Froyo. The device manager shows the NC as storage drive, not as the Android device.

Please help.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Not sure where you guys are getting the 2008 dates - are you opening the files up and looking inside them? Because the timestamps on mine are all from this year when I applied them.

Regardless, it doesn't really matter. I just pulled the market off my one-month-old phone and the date on all the files inside vending.apk is 8-21-2008 which, incidentally, is the same date inside the vending.apk from MN 4.5.25. By contrast, the date inside the vending.apk from MN 4.5.18 is 4-15-2008.
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
Ok tried something and it worked.

Loaded stock 1.2 registered and then loaded manualnooter, after setting up market loaded the mininooter and got access to OC now everything works.

[Nook Color Android Development] KWKSLVR:
I had the same problem. As lame as this sounds, I just decided to stick with ADB Wireless which works fine. Give it a whirl.
[Nook Color Android Development] bchau:
Thanks. I found a solution at:

Works good.

Will also try out this adbwireless.
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
I have a Nook Color that I want to root and add the Google apps. However, I will be giving it away. The instructions state that I need to register the NC. My wife does have a B&N account. Can I use her account to do all the steps here and then deregister or delete her account? I obviously want to make sure that the account is gone.

I know for the Google apps there is no way to do this except for a factory reset. However, I do not know if it will work on the NC.

Also, my NC has the blue dot which I know means a restricted partition. Is there any hack to make full use of this?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] phfaty:
I installed nook 1.2 update through CWM, registered nook, installed manualnooter 4.5.25, installed flash 10.3 update through Market, rebooted and got stuck in a boot loop at the colored Nook Color logo. Then I redid everything again this time did not update to flash 10.3, and rebooted fine no more boot loop problem.

Anyone have a fix for this to allow for using Flash 10.3 with manualnooter 4.5.25?

Delete/Uninstall flash 10.1 with titanium backup. Then use market to install new flash 10.3. Worked great for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] McKrout:
So after spending the day fighting with my NC and wiping and trying again, I'm still in the same place with apps missing from the market. On the plus side, it seems I don't need to worry about the Flash related boot loop, since Flash isn't in my market... When I have the time to load most of my books back on, I'm just going to undo the whole process and load all my books back up. Thanks to those that offered assistance, just wish your suggestions would have worked.

Anyone able to switch the keyboard on stock? I have the gingerbread keyboard installed in system with the same permission as the stock keyboard but still doesn't work when selecting it in nook color tools. Ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] bretzke:
So, obviously 4.5.25 included the new market and calendar sync fix. It sounded like in the above location services was nearly done as well. Did you ever find a fix for this?

Of course, fantastic work!
[Nook Color Android Development] vinal:
I am with no issues so far. 1.2G.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Network Locations still suffers from a signature/permissions issue, it doesn't match the rest of the system so it doesn't want to install properly.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
You never clarified (that I saw) what apps were missing beyond the vague generalness of it. This makes it hard for us to determine where exactly the issue was and therefore impossible for us to actually help you.

For example if you're missing apps that'd normally be in the "Featured" apps and there's only one or two there. This would indicate that you need to do the market visibility fix.

To tell whether there's some sort of other issue you could log onto market.android.com and find the app there your NC with New Market should show up as BarnesAndNoble NookColor and if you go to install from there and it shows your device as "Incompatible" this points at a fingerprint issue.

Updated to 4.5.25 from 4.5.6 and it worked perfectly!

- I had the boot loop issue when I tried to install Flash 10.3 with 4.5.6, but under the advice of someone else. I renamed the flash 10.1 and then installed and it worked fine.

- calendar is now syncing and the market place is updated!!!

Thank you to all who have worked to make this happen.
[Nook Color Android Development] McKrout:
When doing a search in the market, MLB At Bat would not show up, nor PenSupremecy (which was the whole reason I tried this) or Flash (searched just see if it was out there.) When looking under "My Apps," none of above listed apps would show there either, even though several other purchased apps that are installed on my phone would.

Was able to backup the MLB and Pen app on my phone's SD card, but MLB wouldn't install on the NC and the Pen app isn't responsive enough for me to actually use it for writing... though that could just be wanting it to be faster, heh.

Maybe it's a fingerprint issue, maybe it's just my terrible luck (which really is pretty terrible,) but the whole process has put me off from using my NC for more than it's intended purpose. The effort put into the rooting process are great though, so keep up the good work :)

MN4.5.25 Missing market apps

System

NC restored to BN1.2 stock with Nemith's zip file (no CWM on emmc)

Applied MN4.5.25 with bootable CWM

No OC or dual boot

Amazon Apstore and Evernote apps did not show up in Market. Did not apply market fix. I just installed from a backup apk - no problems with the installation.

No showing up in Market is not really a big deal for me. I have backups as well as a Viewsonic Gtab to apk sources. So still a happy camper.
[Nook Color Android Development] brie987:
This is also happening to me. I dont know what to do. I have reflashed a couple of times to be sure but Market keeps crashing. It would allow to accept then when the first page in Market is rendered it force closes immediately. Thanks for any help.
[Nook Color Android Development] tvoverbeek:
I can only say it works for me without any problems.

When you sign in on https://market.android.com do you see your NookColor under My Market Account -> Settings?

If not then your NC did not register properly with Google. Try to clear data and cache of the google services framework and market, then first register using Gtalk before using the Market.

HTH
[Nook Color Android Development] tom123il:
This happened to me as well; when in doubt re-check the directions. Wipe the nook (scary but it needs to be done). It may help to locate this file (stock-1.1.0-CWR-sideload-modified.zip) and take the nook back to 1.1.0. Then do the B&N 1.2.0 update. After that you can run the manualnooter per the directions. What I found is DO NOT adlib DO NOT deviate from the directions…it does make a difference if you (like me) wanted to look around the stock 1.2 changes, resist, resist, resist. All should be golden.
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
Updates don't ordinarily require this kind of thing. Why is this necessary--and isn't it possible to fix Calendar alone without a full wipeout and starting from scratch?
[Nook Color Android Development] serchend:
here is what I did to fix my market, not sure if it was conicidence or not though.

cleared data for market and then using root explorer renamed vending.apk to vending.apk.sav, rebooted, renamed the vending.apk.sav back to vending.apk and rebooted. after that it worked. could be a fluke, I cant explain why but give it a try it cant hurt.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
In all frankness, I don't get all the *****ing here. I did two Nooks with 4.5.6 and no unknown problems except for the kids books thing, which was solved quite easily. Yet, if you read this thread, you'd think that MN was the worst thing to ever happen to the Nook. *****, *****, *****. And what's funny as hell is the few people who actually are honest and post that when the actually followed directions, they were fine.

If I was these guys, I'd be sorely tempted to tell most of the folks on here to go pound sand and just keep the awesome work that gets done to myself.

When I was growing up, I was told that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Good idea. If you aren't helping in some way (either the devs or others having problems), then try to keep the complaining down to a minimum or, better yet, STFU and take it somewhere else.
[Nook Color Android Development] jpeg42:
I did the same thing, minus clearing the cache. For some reason just renaming the market and rebooting works. Everything is great now.

Shop not working.

Since the lastest update everthing works for me except the stock "shop" app. I don't miss it much. Thanks for the hard work.
[Nook Color Android Development] tom123il:
/agree

I'm a bit confused as why someone would expect anything other than what is stated in the very first post.

"Before you begin:

•To update to 1.2 you must do a complete wipe.

•You must update to 1.2 to use ManualNooter Instructions Here."

This is not a B&N official release... this is cutting edge software to make MY Nook Color, more than just an e-reader. I accept any and all (except opening the case) instructions to allow me to use this great hardware to its potential.

So THANK YOU DEVs.
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
I enjoy this release, but may go back to 4.5.6 because though the shop app works for me,

the in store does not (which I expected due to the kernel replacement).

I am not sure how important that is, seeing as how I do not use my nook in store much, but I do use it as a nook first and foremost.

I root because I want the ability to do the nook stuff and everything else. I guess you can say, I want it all.

Thanks for all who worked on this project for giving it to me....

:)

[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
As stated previously, I installed MN 4.5.25 over MN 4.5.6 [Flash 10.1/Stock Kernel] but it seems that it is glitching a lot now. Market is really flaky now... sometimes things install correctly; though, sometimes it hangs with partial install or no install. Keep getting disconnect error when this happens. Web apps seem to fail functionality after the market hangs. They function correctly before a market hang so not sure exactly what is creating this issue. I've checked permissions and do not see anything out of the ordinary so it looks like I'm going to be wiping and starting anew. Quite odd and first problem I've encountered in the MN update chain. All in all, no worries thanks to Titanium Backup! :)
[Nook Color Android Development] brie987:
WOOT!!! Thank you so much it worked, Market fully loaded and updates are now installing. Thanks for your wonderful cleverness!!! My only recourse would have to be a total wipe (which really would not be such a bad idea) so Im glad that I may remain lazy till my next challenge till then I thank you sir!
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
I've updated to MN 4.5.25 but there seems to be some kind of connectivity issue. If anything that uses the internet fails for whatever reason, it seems to lockup the network and nothing else works after that without a reboot. Not sure what is causing this issue but going to revert to 4.5.18 for now until something later comes about.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I've yet to try the new kernel in store. But after numerous complaints and straight up *****ing about how In Store was "broken" I went and before the .25 update did some testing, I found I could connect to In Store 8 times out of 10 and out of the 2 times I was unable to properly connect to in store I was able to reboot and connect just fine.

According to GMPOWER the only thing changed with this Kernel from stock was enabling App2SD to fix Unknown Reason -18 which means it shouldn't affect In Store. If you think it's the kernel you can easily grab the kernel from the 1.2 update drop it in .25 and reflash to stock and try in store then. If it still doesn't work then you're obviously doing something wrong or your local B&N is having issues keeping their In Store stable.

I've yet to notice any sort of connectivity issue with my NC running 4.5.25 nor have I had any sort of "flaky" market issues, I just updated 10 apps at the same time with only one of them failing (paradise island) which I'm looking into and appears to be related to .android_secure. Perhaps checking the network you're connecting to and there might be something there that's acting up.

Short of some sort of ADB Logcat though, there's no way to tell what's causing this issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
I was not able to get .25 to work from .6, but really prefer stock rooted over CM7, so bit the bullet and did a wipe back to stock 1.0.1, upgraded to stock 1.2, then flashed .25. MN .25 is working perfectly with a fresh install.

Even if I wasn't able to get .25 to work, I would have stuck with MN over CM7. Happily donated to the cause, calendar sync or no calendar sync. Now I have calendar sync and the best of both worlds.
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
This also worked for me. Thanks!!

The update to BN1.2 has caused all sorts of networking problem. A quick search of http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/NOOK-Color-Technical-Support/ will show numerous posts. So the problem may not be due to MN.

My NC has intermittent connection problems will my work campus 802.11n routers.
