I do now note a couple of items do not work:

1. Under B&N Settings\Social, I get "A Problem Occurred, Can't complete operation". Though my friends appear in the friends app.

2. B&N Shop does not work, the background screen appears but does not fill in with content.

3. Search Shop, as you type the suggestions appear, but when selecting one, it errors: "A Problem Occurred, Sorry, a problem has occurred. Please try again......"

4. I can archive and unarchive my apps. (Not a problem, just an observation.)

DizzyDen, does this mean a simple edit to their updater script would allow installing via CWM?

If so, would you care to share the fix?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Yes... see the link in my signature about customizing ROMs... I already shared the fix ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
Not sure what happened but things stopped working. so I reinstalled ManualNooter 5.02.19. I cannot get any apps to install from the Market. It states it is downloading but then stops. The app does not get installed.

Any suggestions? I already did the Market fix but it didn't help. Also, it is still the Android Market and not the Play Store.

My NC 1.4.3 is rooted using this method =] and I've changed the script from auto to manual.
[Nook Color Android Development] bachikho:
is there a 1.4.3 flashable zip file (i cannot update to 1.4.3 from 1.4.2)?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
All you have to do is follow my advice in the first part of the Customizing ROMs thread in my signature...

The important part that makes B&N Stock CWM flashable is...

\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

Line 1 changed to:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "zoom2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "zoom2" || getprop("ro.product.overall.name") == "NOOKcolor" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "encore" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "encore") ;

This facilitates installs B&N stock via CWM and on devices already utilizing "encore" in product or device descriptions and matches parenthesis up correctly for CWM.

Continuing to have problems with 1.4.3 and MN 5.2.19

I when back to stock, updated to 1.4.3, and then applied MN 5.2.19 and Dalingrin oc for emmc. Market updated swiftly to Play Store. None of my aps appear in either MyApps or in the Search function of PlayStore.

Following the Market visibility fix just results in Market not being able to find server error.

Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] bachikho:
so i have to change only that line in \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script to make stock flashable via cwm?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I wasn't patient enough. It works! I just had to let Play Store fully update.

You can disregard the quoted message. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
yup... that's all you have to do... but if you follow the post to modify roms in my sig... you can do a LOT more if you do any customizing ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] CamoGeko:
I see people have managed to get this to work on 1.4.3 but for me it doesn't work sadly. After rebooting it goes straight to the nook setup screen. Can I just flash an AOKP ROM in recovery to get rid of this stock B&N crap? :(

Can anyone that managed to do it help me out please... what steps did you take?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Not sure if this is open kang project sourced, but here is another Android OS you could flash to emmc: CM7 CM9
[Nook Color Android Development] mz.choize:
I also had the same issues. I wasn't so patient with google play and updated to

3.7.13 since visibility wasn't working even after doing the fix. I have visibility now (plus play has more options) but I'm still getting the same error (Error downloading. There is insufficient space on the device.)I was getting before when trying to download any apps or update the ones I have. Btw, I have 4gigs on the nc, and 6gigs on the sd card. Anyone know what could be causing this? Thanx
[Nook Color Android Development] CamoGeko:
Thanks for the help, I flash krylon AOKP build and all is well. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
This thread discusses three or so schemes to repartition your NC emmc memory: link. Remember to backup your NC first.

Another consideration is the memory used by your magazines and books. You may want to archive some B&N e-books and magazines.
[Nook Color Android Development] reebz:
Yesterday morning I noticed I had also been updated to 1.4.3 as I haven't taken steps to avoid OTA updates. I used MN 5.02.19 to reroot without issue, except limited Google Play Store. I attempted to fix that by following "Market has limited visibility" fix in OP, but it didn't work. My fix was to uninstall market updates to revert back to the "Market". Once I was back to the old Market, I followed the steps again and was successful in getting a full Market back. I got a lot of updates and "My Apps" were all present. After all the updates, I closed the Market and reopened it and was updated to the current Google Play. I then installed the updated Play Store, 3.7.11, without issue.

Edit: I just noticed the same instructions in OP, step 14 in "Let's get started". I guess I should be more observant.
[Nook Color Android Development] harliquin:
I am having the same problem after the update.

Root explorer shows I have space free.

I deleted apps, archived books (don't have that many downloaded to start with).

Only started after the new update (1.4.3)

I have one of the original nook color with the 1/5 format.

If I have time this weekend, I will start over at 1.4.3 and re-root.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ravynmagi:
I had to reinstall ManualNooter because of the 1.4.3 update as well. Had the same problem with Play. One thing additional I had to di was disable wifi before uninstalling the Market, because it would immediately start updating before I had a chance to do the Market fixes. And now it I'm able to see more of my apps.

Disappointed that Play is still not showing Dolphin HD with these market fixes.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I think you could have waited for market to updated and still uninstall the update.

Dolphin HD is in B&N App and you should get it there.

B&N Storage Available

I find there is only 300M left on my nook color "B&N storage". The machine seems to become unstable. How can I get rid of the B&N Storage?
[Nook Color Android Development] Nora D:
I think what Ravynmagi and Reebz are saying is that the market fix will not work without stopping the update to Play first by disabling wifi because Market tries to update to Play so fast you have no chance. You can uninstall the update, yes, but it tries to re-update so fast you have no chance to do the market fix unless you disable wifi, and the fix must be done before the market updates to Play.

I've run into this as well, no idea why it should matter when you apply the market visibility fix, but it does. I've done this now on 2 nooks updated to a clean, registered stock 1.4.3, one an original "green dot" and one "blue dot".

If you let market update to Google Play before doing the visibility fix, you may be able to see all your apps under "all", bot almost all of them will show as not compatible with your device - even though they may be on your device and running fine. You cannot update them. Applying the market fix described in the OP doesn't result in an error dialog with an "OK" button to tap, it just gives a server Error and a "Retry" button. The retry doesn't have the same result as the earlier Market Ok button either. Also, most apps searched on Play will now be shown as "not compatible" and you will not be able to install them. Yes, unchecked and rechecked "allow" box in NC Tools in both nooks.

The workaround appears to be, if Market updates, roll back the update first - you may have to turn off your wifi at first as Market will try and update to Play again really fast. Now do the market fix. Enable wifi just before you try and restart Market to get the error. Reboot. Now Market will have full visibility and will start updating your apps if any are set to auto update. You can update them yourself if not.

Interesting thing is, now Market refuses to update to Google Play when it was racing to do so before. LOL I'm sure it will overnight or something. I'll be interested to see if the compatibility message comes back when it does update.

I also noted that when installing the vanilla root without apps2sd support, this issue with the Market/Play didn't exist. Then I did a face/palm, realized I needed apps2sd, and started over from a backup of the most recent step. The issue with compatibility message/visibility in the Play market came when using the apps2sd support version with the stock kernel in both Nooks. I wonder if Ravynmagi and reebz were installing the same and others have used the vanilla MN? OP did say the apps2sd support made the Nook firmware version specific, maybe that's the issue?

Edit: As an aside, I used the same apps2sd version w/ stock apps2sd kernel when using MN 5.02.19 for both 1.4.1 & 1.4.2 stock updates on both Nooks without any issues. this is the first time I've seen this with Play.

no wi fi

I followed the instructions here and it seems to have worked but with issues. After I nooted it took me to the screen where it looks like I just bought the nook. At the wi fi part it just got stuck in a loop and never connected. I made sure I had an open network for it to connect to. I found a way to bypass that screen somewhere else on this forum. The suggested work around was to wipe the nook or update the nook. The wipe did not work. The update restored the wi fi but then I had to re run this guide. The end result was the same, no wi fi. It the info about the nook there is no Owner, Account, or wi-fi mac addy. I am sure I have to re enter the owner/account info but I cant get to that screen because it gets stuck searching for wi fi. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] gmmurphy:
hi guys, i have read every page here and cannot figure this out. i am no stranger to adb or flashing devices but this nook has me stumped. i have 1.4.3 stock not rooted. what i have done so far is the following, imaged cwm on 2 different cards and dumped nooter on sd. i cannot get cwm to boot. i also did a factory reset and the 8 boot method. what am i missing. could my 2 sd cards be no good? any help would be apprecited.
[Nook Color Android Development] Skellinator:
I am far fron an expert as you can see by the post before yours, but I would guess that you have bad cards or the image was not flashed correctly. If done right it will go right to cwm when you power up the nook. Perhaps it was not fully shut down when you tried? I know that's a silly guess but you know we all have brain farts at times 8-)
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
You need to have the NC registered with B&N before applying ManualNooter 5.x.x.

And it is suggested that you have your B&N content downloaded before you apply MN too.

Also, with 5.8.20, there are several versions to select. Verify that you have picked and downloaded the correct version. For new/fresh installs, DO NOT select an incremental version.

Be patient after registration and content download. The install/updates for 1.4.x take some time, even after the device becomes available/usable. After the NC becomes available, enjoy your favorite beverage for a while and then apply ManualNooter 5.x.x.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
Did you register, and download all B&N content before you applied MN5? As far as the Wi-Fi, are you flashing one of the kernel images? The Dalingrin OC Kernel does include a modified Wi-Fi driver to help with the SOD, Sleep of Death, issue, and the stock kernel with apps2sd support includes the stock 1.4.3 Wi-Fi driver. I would not think that this would be causing your Wi-Fi issues, since both have been extensively tested.

The first thing to do is make sure that you do have a nook color and not a nook tablet. This would not be the first time, nor the last time that someone would think that they had a nook color, and really had a nook tablet.

Tap the NOOK “n” button to display the Quick Nav Bar

Tap the Settings

Tap on Device Info

Tap on About Your Nook

If model number starts with BNRV, you have a nook color

If model number starts with BNTV, you have a nook tablet

If you do have a nook color, what operating system are you using to flash the CWM image (Mac, Linux, Windows)? If you’re using Windows, are you using Win32DiskImager to flash the image to your SD card? If you are running Windows Vista, or Windows 7, you might have to right-click on Win32DiskImager, and select to “run as administrator.” Are you using a card reader to access the SD card from your computer, or are you trying to do it through a device (nook, phone, etc.)?
[Nook Color Android Development] gmmurphy:
hi there, first thanks for taking the time. i do have a nook color 1.4.3. i am using win/xp and win32diskimager. physical card reader on side of laptop. i have tried three different sd cards to image cwm. now i am going to download bootable sd package again to see if maybe it was corrupt. I have tried everything i know. the first time i did this was 1.4.2 and it went off without a hitch. i must be missing something. thanks again for your help. Downloaded CWM bootable again, re-imaged cwm on 2gb sandisk, 2gb pny and 16gb sandisk. Same issue will not boot from SD. Should i rollback to 1.4.2?

update, tried img from visa laptop, 2gb, 2gb 16gb. then xp desktop each having physical card reader. no deal cant get this thing to boot in cwm. wow hours of reading and imging. the following i have rooted and flashed roms, so you all dont think i am a nucklehead, og, droid, htc dinc 2, pandigital novel, gnex, nexus 7, moto xoom, s3 and this dang nook one time when it was 1.4.2

Hey folks, I'm helping a friend root his Nook Color and using Manual Nooter and the root process works perfect, but for some reason the Nook home launcher keeps taking over and Zeam launcher becomes invisible as a selection. Then it causes the system to freeze forcing a reboot. It seems many of the "settings" cause this freeze. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Been away for a while. Glad to see that incorporating the OTA block that I did waaay back over a year ago in MN-4-6-16a (which got me *****ED at!) finally got rolled in. Thanks GMPOWER and others for keeping the faith and not abandoning the Nook Color.

Naw, I'm old school, been flashing for years, I never skip a full wipe even on incremental builds. Either way, we're ditching B&N **** and going to CM so it won't be an issue much longer.

Does it boot into the Zeam launcher, and then back to stock B&N launcher when you press the home key? If so follow the following steps

Using the app “Root Explorer” or “ES File Explorer,” navigate to /system/app

Make sure that the system is mounted as r/w

Locate, and rename “HomeCatcher2_1.apk” to “HomeCather2_1.apk.bak”

Reboot the device

Using the app “Root Explorer” or “ES File Explorer,” navigate to /system/app

Make sure that the system is mounted as r/m

Locate, and rename “HomeCatcher2_1.apk.bak” to “HomeCatcher2_1.apk

Reboot the device again

This time, when you press the home key, you will be presented with two options, select the top option that has no text to it, and check the box to “Use by default for this action”

Or does the stock B&N launcher come up at boot? If so follow the following steps

Press the “n” button, and select “search”

Search for “Launcher,” and then select “Zeam Launcher”

This will have taken you back into the Zeam launcher

Open “Manage Applications” from the app “NookColor Tools”

Select “All” from the top tabs

Locate, and select “Zeam Launcher”

Select “Clear Defaults”

The next time you select the home key, you will be presented with the option to select “Zeam Launcher” as the default action, check that box.

​

I just went back and read that thread for the first time, and saw “GabrialDestuir” ***** at you. I had received the same *****ing and treatment from “GabrialDesuir” when I presented the AutoNooter_3.0.0 package. The build.prop, OTA block, and Adobe boot loop fixes were all presented in the MN4 thread, but never implemented.

Personally, I am always up for suggestions from people on how to make the package better. The Adobe boot loop was a major problem that had to be implemented in. I heard people complain about the apps2sd kernel being included with the MN4 package, so this time around, I gave people options. Based on the download statics, only about 33% of the people are downloading the apps2sd package. Of all the people currently downloading the basic package, about 43%, are downloading the one with blocked update. Of the people that download the apps2sd package, 69% of them choose the blocked OTA version. Some people complain that they did not understand how to block the OTA updates without having to spend the money on the app sqlite editor. People were also complaining about the enable non-market text missing from the app NookColor Tools, so that was fixed.
[Nook Color Android Development] PuterGeek:
Did you actually change NookColor Tools or was it by fixing something in the system?

The reason I ask, if you changed NookColor Tools, can/did you remove some of the settings?

Specifically, one of the settings tabs causes a critical error that reverts to the BN image. Others are just nonsensical like phone settings but it would be nice to remove them.

Or do you know where the source can be downloaded?

Fixing those might be a way to get my feet wet in app development (like I have any spare time ;)). I looked once before for the source but didn't find it (or got distracted before I found it :D).

New to the NC, and i used the manualnooter to root a 1.4.3 for my dad. Seems like it worked fine and i appear to have the original nook color interface/launcher alongside the zeam launcher which has access to the play store, apps, etc. (if it was mine, i'd just totally pimp it out and put CM9/CM7, etc.)

Anyway, it froze up on me while i was messing with firefox browser which i had downloaded from the play store. I was wondering how to get out of these situations. With my phones (galaxy nexus and htc hero) i can just do a battery pull to get it back in business. But, i wasn't sure what to do with the nook. I tried to power it down, but it didn't seem to respond to the power button. Is there a hardware shortcut to get it to restart? (i know i can adb reboot, but my dad isn't real technically savvy...so, i'd like to be able to tell him what to do when stuff like that happens).
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I suggest:

1. Tell your father to hold down the power button until it powers off or the screen goes blank. Usually works for me.

2. As to Firefox issue, uninstall Firefox, then download and use Opera Mobile browser.
[Nook Color Android Development] blackpiranha:
Hi!

One problem: I have only very few apps in the play store for example in top new free (in comparision to my mobile). When I chose My Apps, no applications, that are already installed (facebook, earth, ..) are shown and so I can not update then (I can't find them even in play store) - installing MarketEnabler was for nothing.

Does anybody has a solution for that?

wireless not working?

I used this method last night to root 1.4.3 and it worked but my wireless is broken. anyone have any suggestions?

Peace
[Nook Color Android Development] PuterGeek:
If you used the APS2SD version you have to flash the kernel also. Dalgrin's kernel works great and gives you a little speed increase.

If you used flashed Dalgrin's kernel and didn't use the APS2SD version WIFI doesn't work.

Hope that helps.
[Nook Color Android Development] amoromete:
I have been reading throughout this forum for almost one week and i'm still somehow not clear. Tomorrow i receive a brand new NC and I still am some fuzzy:

If I don't give a f**k about the BN content and about the link with their site or downloading/ buying anything from them, do I still have to register the device before rooting? I must mention that, in a first phase, I want only to root the device + the kernel. After reading some posts, I understood that the rooting before registering somehow breaks the wi-fi.

What can you tell me?

And what do you exactly mean by BN content: the gigs of books in the internal memory or just the kernel lines regarding the registration and the account information?

One more question: to flash the kernel i have to repeat steps 5, 6, 7, 8, but select the kernel .zip instead of nooter?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
When you receive your NC, you need to register it with B&N following their process.

Check for the B&N Version, it should be 1.4.3. If not, you need to update your stock NC to 1.4.3 (which is the current version).

Before installing MN, make sure any B&N content is downloaded, i.e. apps, books, magazines, etc. The update takes some time, even if you can us the NC, it seems to be doing some stuff in the background, so be patient.

The CWM card needs to be version 3.2.0.1 as listed in the OP.

And yes, install MN, then Dalingrin's OC Kernal.

After installing MN, it too takes some time to finish updating, especially the Market to Playstore update. So be patient again. Maybe a glass or two of wine, or a pint of Guiness before checking your rooted to MN NC.

Personally, I printed the instructions out and checked each step as it was started and completed.
[Nook Color Android Development] rubyv:
Hello everyone,

So, after futzing and playing and trying, no matter what I do, my NC is no longer recognized by my laptop, or any computer. Any ideas that can help me fix this? Sideloading can't happen as of right now.

Thanks!!
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
A temporary fix is to remove your uSD card and plug it into your pc/laptop directly.

I am aware of issues with some NC where Win 7 or other oS's have problems. I do know your NC needs to be on and awake ( you can view home ). Then plug in the NC to the laptop/pc. Unfortunately, I have not experienced this issue.

You should search the NC Q&A forum or post you question there. May I suggest that you be a little more descriptive concerning the futzing and playing and trying process you performed when you post your question in that forum.
