Yeah, I finally contributed.
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
yes. It eliminates everything and completely re-flashed the stock software, you have to go through the registration and everything again.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
A little advise that might help you in the long run, make a clockworkmod sdcard before you start the reset and then use it to make a backup of your stock device at version 1.0.0 after it is registered and again after 1.2.0. If you have two micro SD cards you can just keep one card with the clockworkmod and backups handy for future referances, or else you would have to move the backup file to your computer. When I am doing testing of different mods this technique really comes in handy to be able to get back to stock 1.2.0 faster.
[Nook Color Android Development] FredOak3:
Have to say nice job on this...I waited patiently looking at the change log until I felt it was within my area to play and tweak and I wasn't disappointed.

Flashed it up last night and everything worked first time out. TiB everything I had back from 1.1 befoer going to 1.2, verified all my accounts and emails and it is awesome...nicely done!!
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Works great! Went from stock BN1.2 to MN4.5.25 to OC with Setcpu.

No problems with FC. Market works fine and most importantly to me calendar syncs!
[Nook Color Android Development] fmilin:
I just use MN4.5.25 on my Nook, restored to stock 1.2.

Everything 's ok, except when i try to install any app from the market it shows the download notification, then nothing!!! no downloaded app visible!!

Do u have any idea?
[Nook Color Android Development] n8w:
I've had similar issues with downloads failing repeatedly. I was happy to be able to get root explorer in order to install the tb apk I keep on my card. I then had issues with ez PDF not opening its files...of course the purchased version works.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
If you follow the instructions EXACTLY as written in OP, it works fine. Perhaps you could list in order the exact steps you took. Your note indicates that you use MN4.5.25 and THEN restore to stock 1.2 - which is of course not possible.
[Nook Color Android Development] fmilin:
sorry for my english!!

My nook was on 1.1 autonootered. I restored it to stock 1.01. Then update it to 1.2.

Then i followed the instructions EXACTLY as written in OP.

I'm gonna try it again tomorrow and use it with my CM7 SD card for the moment!!
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukaza:
Same here, updated to 4.5.25 from an earlier version without issue, it fixed the market issue, then updated to the latest OC kernel 052311 @ 1.2Ghz ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] KenNashua:
Just did this as well. Please include in the .26 release?
[Nook Color Android Development] Garoto1973:
I am having problems updating to 4.5.25 from 4.5.6. I flashed using CWM 3.0.2.8 and it booted fine the first time but after I rebooted it just gets stuck on the Nook Color logo. I tried reflashing 4.5.6 but same thing , just does want to get past that screen.

Any ideas? Should I go back to stock and start again?

Edit: went back to stock, re-nooted (4.5.25) , tossed Dalingrin's OC Kernel for stock 1.2 and things are excellent now! Market is way better (still doesnt have full visibility but way better than before) and although it might not mean anything my Quadrant score went from 1670 to 2097. Kudo's to both developers!!!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
Interesting. I decided to deregister my rooted Nook Color. Now, it is stuck at the "Read Forever" screen. Is deregistering something one should not do to a rooted NC?

I made a backup through CWR so hope that will fix my issue.

Any thoughts on why this happened?
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
In that case, the error may be somewhere in going back to 1.01. Did you register the NC before going to 1.2?

I suggest you restore directly to BN1.2 using [UPDATE ZIP] Stock 1.2 update.zip flashable from CWM - xda-developers This works for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] n8w:
Im wondering where i screwed up. I was originally rooted 1.1 with an3. I did the 8 fail restore, then erased and deregistered (in that order). I updated to 1.2 according to b&n, then flashed the latesr mn. Market has been very unreliable...rarely downloads...and ive done the market/frame clear several times. Im also unable to get apps directly from the b&n store due to "not enough app storage" or now simple errors to download.
[Nook Color Android Development] Garoto1973:
Ok after rooting with MN 4.5.25 it seems I can't sideload apps, following message appears:

"for security, your phone is set to block installations not obtained from android market "

Any ideas? I'm also using Dalingrins OC 2.6.32 for stock 1.2.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
Go to the app "NookColor Tools" and press "Allow Non-Market Apps" and then recheck it.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
Those two files have always been fully installed with all versions of MN and AN. You can install any number of combinations of them, but it won’t do anything until we can get the system to stop blocking the install of NetworkLocation.apk. You can push NetworkLocation.apk to /system/app and see it sitting there, but it is not really installed until you see “com.google.android.location” in the folder /data/data.

Yes, never deregister because it will clear all data and cache, time to do a restore or start over.

As far as the B&N app store problems, check to see if you can search and download books from the B&N store. I have come across a problem in the past where I got locked out of these two areas, and had to start all over. That problem I think only happened to me if I did not download all of my books and apps before installing MN, and only happened a couple times if I had waited to download them. If you start over, try to download all your past book and app purchases before you apply MN.

As for the Android Market, it kind of sound like the fix for /cache/downloadnull did not work for you. You said that you had the app Root Explorer, check to make sure that APK’s are not stacking up in the folder /cache/downloadnull. If any apps are in there it is most likely because the fix did not take for whatever reason, then delete all APK’s that are in that folder. Try to download another app from the market and make sure it does not end up in that folder.
[Nook Color Android Development] Garoto1973:
Thanks, yes, very important to uncheck, reboot, check again in order for it to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] jziggy101:
When I tried this it was still checked after the reboot. I still could not get the non-market apps to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Took the plunge 4.5.25

Well, I took the plunge and installed 4.5.25 (over 4.5.6). I then installed Dal's latest OC kernel. My NC is more snappy than it has ever been and most stuff works ... except Market! It FCs every time. I followed the instructions in the OP to no avail. Before I start over from a clean 1.2, anyone have any further ideas to get Market working again (Talk and GMail work fine)?

Oops, my bad. So much in this thread to read!!! Trying the vending.apk fix that I completely forgot about! What an idiot. Worked like a charm!

Kudos to all the devs, this is amazing! Thanks for all of your hard work!
[Nook Color Android Development] jziggy101:
I also am having the same problem. I followed the instructions on the first page and everything worked fine for two weeks and now I cannot download from the market. I had not had any problems with free downloads until today.

I went back to the first post and did the Market steps again to see if it would help but it has not.
[Nook Color Android Development] n8w:
Just for clarification, the nook needs to be registered PRIOR to running mn correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
From the OP:

1.) You must already have a registered NOOKcolor

So yup!
[Nook Color Android Development] n8w:
needing some seriously remedial help

've following the instructions to the best of my ability, but I'm still unable to get a stable market, which is pretty key for me to get in the very least the kindle and course smart apps I need, and now the market won't even open. So, I'm completely at a loss here's what I've done.

1. Started with a rooted 1.1

2. did 8 failed boots to reload 1.1

3. deregistered and erased

4. updated to 1.2 via b&n instructions

5. registered, shut down

5. flashed 4.5.25 using latest cw

6. did the market visibility fix, inserted sd card

7. was able to download root explorer and key for tb

8. attempted to download tb, couse smart app...dl begins and stops

9. vending apk fix

10. cleared downloadnull folder in RE and redid visibility fix, reboot, market error.

11. reboot, try to dl tb, starts then hangs on downloading, does this for a variety of apps (TB, dropbox, astro), however several others do download and install. Market fc after each install, which I can handle.

So this is what I've done. Am I battling testy apps here or is there an issue in my process?
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Just curious as to why you didn't flash 4.5.25 ? It has some new Market fixes amongst other things...
[Nook Color Android Development] n8w:
whoops, looking at the wrong one when getting my references...I did flash 4.5.25

I was able to back door the issue by taking the tb backups from my dinc and putting them the tb folder on my nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] tom123il:
This is what I did several times and each time I had market issues. The one step that you did that is NOT in the instructions, and I think caused much of my issues ... was your step 1st step "5. registered, shut down" (you list 2 step 5s) I think if you would have waited to register until after the manualnooter, the market issues would not have happened.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Great guys, thanks for the superb instructions!

Now i dont understand how to boot with the sd card in the NC... Is there a way to do this, or i should take out the card every reboot? And then just insert the card after the NC is fully loaded?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
If you flashed 4.5.25 you shouldn't have a downloadnull folder anywhere. It sounds like MN might not of taken.
[Nook Color Android Development] n8w:
Interesting. They do say to have a registered nook however, which implies registering prior to mn. Also, i believe it was the post registration that caused random unrootings in 1.1 with an3. I am wondering if its responsible for the problems im having with installing the nook store apps.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Hello,

i am trying to find a solution for the following but cant! I searched so many pages - tried a lot of things but nothing successful...

How can i install programs from .apk on this?

I cant paste anything in /system
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
To install an apk, click on it in a file viewer.

I us esexplorer which is in the market, and on the web. It is free and works well. It does not do root (it can, but that part does not seem compatible with MN, only full Cyanogen).

Root Explorer works, but is looks less slick, so many people use two apps.

Now, you should not install anything into /system manually unless there is a reason to and you know it is safe to do so. You can mess your system up by doing this with the wrong app.

AN example of when you should do this is installing a keyboard. For this, here are the steps.

1)install as normal by clicking on the apk.

2)Using Root Explorer (or similar app) copy the .apk from /data/app

3) in Root Explorer, mount the /System/app folder as R/W

4) Paste the .apk to /system/app

5) Make sure pernmissions are correct by comparing them to other items in the folder.

6) Mount the /system/app folder as R/O

7)Reboot.

8) If you installed a keyboard, open NookColorTools, select it, and enjoy.

The first six steps could be done in terminal emulator, or in terminal via adb instead, but I assume if you are asking, you would rather a GUI way to do it. As would I.

I have to do this with keyboards. However, Zinio puts its settings.apk into /system/app on install. It is odd. It is the only app I noticed to do this, but I do not usually check.

Have fun. Make backups if you are playing too much in system. I forgot to do this once, and had to start from scratch.

~Leko
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Ok thanks, but again also with that program i get:

Installed blocked

For security......
[Nook Color Android Development] n8w:
you probably need to go into nook tools, de-select "allow non-market apps", re-select it, and reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] rubyv:
Flashed 4.5.25 yesterday and now stuck in a boot loop. Also,.earlier, I noticed that even when not plugged in, my noon registered as charging. I restarted to see if that would clear up and that is when I got stuck in the boot loop.

Any assistance appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] tom123il:
Agree, but I think... that the directions just said that the nook must have previously been registered. My point was, if you follow the directions and not add steps you will succeed in getting a working rooted Nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] d-shade:
I finally updated to 1.2 and used manual nooter. I had issues with boot looping when restarting my nook, I thought it was the OC kernel I used but figured out it was flash 10.1 I finally found the solution after searching this thread.

Uninstalled Flash 10.1 with Titanium, installed flash 10.3 from market and everything is working fine now and not even boot looping.

It might be a good idea to add a note in the OP about how to update flash, or at least let people know that it may cause a boot loop.
[Nook Color Android Development] n8w:
nothing will dl from market...what to do?

In my prior post I was mistaken, I wasn't flashing the latest mn, it was 4.5.2, so, I recleared everything...manually flashed 1.2, flashed mn 4.5.25, registered (nook apps install...woot!), but while before I was able to at least dl root explorer to access my TB apk and do the rest from there...nothing will install. This version of the market is new compared to what I had flashed before. Everything downloads and appears to fail at the install stage. I've tried the market/framework fix...no good...and I can't access anything w/o a file explorer. Help?

Edit: Apparently I'm the idiot that can't read instructions. Reapplied mn, this time powering on via usb (I missed that part). Did the trick.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Hello

after a reboot, the nook is stuck on the Nook Color screen. How can i restart it? Based on phone experience we just take out battery. On this one? :)

What happened: battery was fully discharged, then i've put it for a charge, but when i opened it, it is stuck on the logo page...
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Ok managed to restart it by holding the power button, but again is stuck on the nook logo, where each letter slowly slowly appears...
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
I installed flash 10.3, is there a way to revert or uninstall that? As i understood this is probably the reason....
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Now i have run again the zip but the Nook is stuck on the white Nook page!

Its insane!
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Power off after sleep - does not wake up

I have an interesting problem. Everything was running fine with MN4.5.25 for about along as 4.2.25 came out. No FC, calendar syncs, etc.. Then I did some apk updates from market, install Dalingren's latest OC kernel. Everything seems to work for a day or so. Then suddenly, the NC would power off completely rather then sleep. To power up again, I had to fiddle with the power button and/or remove the SD card.

Anyone else seeing this? There are a number of possible causes:

1. bad NC

2. some updates caused the problem

3. Dalingren's OC kernel (though I am very hesitant to suggest this)
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
how do you do this without opening the NC?
[Nook Color Android Development] sangahm:
I assume you're being facetitious. But just in case, he's meaning flash player. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] Cporcelli:
If I flash the 1.2 update and don't like stock can I just restore my phiredroid backup or do I have to downgrade something first.
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
Don't use that OC kernel. Causes boot loops and a number of other problems with this ROM. Use the kernel written for stock 1.2 @ 1100. Great kernel with zero problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
I have deleted everything and managed to open my Nook.

No i was serious with my question above. I could find a way to connect the Nook and delete the Flash file. How do we do this? Just to know for future reference?

Thanks:cool:
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
You will need one of two things: 1. A file manager that allows you with root access to delete the APK or 2. Titanium Backup to completely uninstall Adobe Air and Flash Player. Either works but as I have purchased a full version of Titanium Backup that is what I did. After uninstalling I went to the market and downloaded the Market versions of Adobe Air and Flash Player.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Dal's Froyo kernel is for stock NCs. Just don't mistakenly plug in one of his CM7 kernels on your stock 1.2 NC. The boot loop issues are usually caused either by the automatic upgrade of Flash Player or a bad (read old) uboot.bin file from everything I've read on these forums. I am using Dalingrin's Froyo OC kernel and have Flash 10.3 with no problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Ok thanks, but what i dont understand, is how to do it when the NC has constant loops at start, and thus nit being able to access it :)
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
In that case I would do the following:

1. Make a bootable CWR uSD card

2. Flash back to 1.2 Stock

3. use MN to root

4. Install/Purchase Titanium Backup or filemanager

5. remove/uninstall APKs

6. Re-install via market

good luck!
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Using any sort of CWM enter into recovery.

Mount System and Data.

Connect via ADB.

Delete Flash info from /data and the apk from /system/app

This method would allow you to fix it without a complete re-flashing of 1.2 etc.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Ok thanks. How do we connect by ADB?
[Nook Color Android Development] nklop:
Just tried this using CWM 3.0.2.8 and MN 4.5.25. Installation of MN from SD appears to work fine, but when I reboot the Nook hangs at the startup screen (with the "N"). No messages or other information. I've reflashed the SD card twice and repeated the MN update each time, with the same result. Any ideas on what I'm going wrong and/or missing?
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
I had the bootloop problem with the Dal Froyo 52311 OC. There were other wierdnesses too. I reverted back to the original kernel and then installed Sugwacee's OC kernel for stock 1.2. This works like a charm (the 1100G one). Link is currently broken but I had a copy already.
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
Add another one here using Dalingrin's OC kernel with no issues. The only boot loop I've experienced with with Adobe Air/Flash updating. Removing both using Titanium Backup and then installing the Market versions fixed my bootloop issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Probably getting caught with the Flash Update issue like everyone else in the posts surrounding yours.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
The same way you would if you were booting into the system, I'm sure there's a guide on the nookdevs wiki that'll explain it.
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
Like this one?

http://nookdevs.com/ADB_Over_USB
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
I have been following this thread and don't understand the issue with flash. I have MN4.5.25 and have no issues at all (without OC).

Titanium show that Flash is 10.1.106.16 and Air 2.6.0.1912 is installed. Market thinks Flash and Air is NOT install and shows Flash 10.3 and Adobe Air as "Free".
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
So what happened to me is this:

1. Flashed to 1.2 Stock

2. Ran MN to get root/busybox etc

3. My Market shows Adobe Air/Flashplayer have updates (1.3 update)

4. Eventually the update runs in the background by itself (reasons for this is unknown)

5. Next boot results in a boot loop

I'm guessing you've lucked out and not had your flash player attempt to automatically update.
[Nook Color Android Development] Garoto1973:
So I'm done updating MN to 4.5.25 and also using Dalingrin's 1.2 kernel for stock Froyo (no CM7). I dont know what did what but now I have full market visibility (finally!) after applying the fix at the OP. Super stable after 5 days use, Youtube finally runs great , things are super snappy. I wanted to go to CM7 but now I dont feel a need, I'm sticking with this setup for a while! Only downside is that battery life doesnt seem as good as with the other available OC kernel (the 1,1mhz one) but still I'm able to live the day with heavy usage or a couple of days with light usage.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fekish:
Hello!

Is there a way to overlock in MN? Or this is something that is done only in other ROMs?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
You use Dalingrin's OC kernel for Froyo1.2. This was discussed not long ago on this thread that this actually also includes the market download fix that was included in 4.5.25. Several of us (myself included) applied MN and the OC kernel at the same time and have had no issues.

You'll have to get a utility to manage the speed, but most use setcpu.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
I am not sure what is different but on my MN4.2.25 NC, Market thinks Flash and Air are not installed so does not show the updates and hopefully why NOT install. Any ideas why?
[Nook Color Android Development] brandsberg:
OK, I am VERY new to this stuff. I have a file explorer application but have NO idea where to make the changes. Can you be specific what files I need to go to to do this?

Where do you find the file ro.product.model? How do you get to it?
[Nook Color Android Development] theseus9t6:
ok after backing up my rom and fixing permissions with CWM, I have been able to remove Flash 10.1 and air with TI backup and reinstall from Market. Everything is working good.

If you are having trouble with market or removing flash/air, try running the permissions fix in in Rom Manager. It's made a world of difference for me...
[Nook Color Android Development] sangahm:
Did you take a look at the link you quoted to see the changes need to be made to the build.prop file?
[Nook Color Android Development] rdonato:
I'm trying to flash the latest manualnooter 4.5.25 but getting a locked screen at the silver "n". Am I missing a step somewhere? I'm coming from flashing CM7 daily builds and wanting to try 1.2 again. I've cleared everything using a sdcard booted CWM 3.0.2.8 and then applied manualnooter which says everything installed and to reboot but everytime I just get the locked up screen.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
Did you wipe data & cache at least a couple of times? If so, you may need to do factory reset: stock 1.2.
[Nook Color Android Development] runningslow:
ManualNooter isn't a ROM, so I hope you reflashed the Stock 1.2 rom before trying to install MN. If you did do that... then I'm stuck. More experienced people should chime in.
[Nook Color Android Development] rdonato:
That's it...I thought it was a ROM. I'll try flashing Stock 1.2 and going from there. Thanks all!
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
It works, thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
My battery life has only gotten better with Dal's latest kernel. I do have it set in SetCPU to min. and max. of 300 when in sleep and I only let mine get up to 1.1Ghz when running, not 1.2Ghz (I'm a speed freak, but haven't found a need to push it for the extra .1Ghz).
