Thanks a lot leapinlar for your advice. I retried a few time and got it works now. What I did wrong was NOT to shut down the Nook color properly.

What I did to got it worked:

-I push and hold down the power button until a menu come up then click on shut down, and load the uSD then push and hold the power button until text shows on the screen then let go the power button. The rest, I just follow the instruction from the first thread.

Thanks a lot to "GMPOWER" in the first thread for instruction how to and the resource files.

leapinlar- I went thru the whole process and my NC was root, but I change my mind to reset the NC back to the original stock ROM. I just install CM10 from your post "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32921666#post32921666". I burn the "generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-larger-Rev5.img" about 300Kbyte to the 2gig uSD card and follow your process to install CM10 "cm-10-20130310-NIGHTLY-encore.zip" and the "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip". My NC is working fine with CM10 with the uSD in the NC, but because the generic-sdcard image only about 300Kbyte. So It doesn't have a lot of room to install apps and game from the market. My question to you is:

Is there a way I can expanse or change to another uSD card (I have another 16gig) so that I can have more space on the uSD card to install apps & games?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
That 300 MB is the boot partition and is not used for apps and games. There are hidden partitions on the card for that use, and Windows cannot see them. Use your USB cable to connect to the PC and you will see lots of room on the card for files. And one of those hidden partitions is where your apps get installed from the market. If you look under settings and storage, you will see you have a lot of room.

I need some help everyone please.

Started with a stock Nook color 1.4.3, went through and rooted with MN 5.08.20 basic with no issues.

What I am having trouble with is limited market, I go to "myapps" and it tells me my device is not compatible with this version with every app. I tried the market fix in the OP and still nothing. any ideas on an actual fix for this?

Thanks

Geeve
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I am assuming you mean "myapps" in Play Store/Google Play.

Did you setup your Google e-mail yet? If not, try that first.

I would suggest powering your NC off, then back on and wait a few minutes to allow it to complete whatever it does in the background. That app lackey's about doing its own update on the MN install. I am not confident that the market fix, fixes this version of MN.
[Nook Color Android Development] geeve420:
Thanks for the reply!!

Yeah, when I am in the play store and go to menu -> My apps

I signed in with my gmail account, I tried rebooting several times. I just gave up and unrooted for now. does me no good if I can't use the Play store....

Any other thoughts? It was easy enough rooting, so if we can figure it out I will try again...

Thanks

[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Are you using CWM 3.2.0.1? That has always worked for me.

You could run Fix Permissions in CWM. That might fix it. (Drawing for straws here.)

I think I had that problem before. After restoring back to 1.4.3, I waited the longest time for the NC to sync with B&N, and to do whatever else it needed to do; like up to an hour or more wait. It think it indexes your uSD card, etc too. I checked for app functionality and made sure that B&N was finished sync of books and other B&N stuff. Then I booted to CWM and installed MN, after which I replaced my uSD card with the normal one, and rebooted and did the wait process again; checking the functionality before going into Play Store. I don't remember where logging into Google happened. 5.08.20 has been extremely stable for months. Of course, there have not been any B&N upgrades since 1.4.3 either...

If you decide to try again, I would do a wipe: data/factory reset before restoring back to B&N 1.4.3.

I went through this process but I am having trouble reading in store. I like to go in and sit down and drink coffee and read but its not letting me do it. I am on v1.4.1. It boots into the mod and can access B&N content but can't do the read in store.

Can anyone help out? I had one before and it worked but the nook color got physically broken.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I would update to 1.4.3 and then apply MN.

Need Help !!!!

I've been trying to root my Nook 1.4.3 for the last 6 hours. i've tried all the different methods & made countless sd cards. the damn thing just wont boot into cwm. it goes straight to reset screen. i tried different cards & tried all the tips. so i'm guessing it must be failing cuz i'm using the card reader in my pc & not a external one. so before i break this nook into tiny pieces. is there a way to root & install a rom without a damn sd card?thanks for any advice or help.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Burning images onto uSD cards can be quite fustrating, been there, done that.

Try following the instructions in my recent reply, #285, in this thread. Some of the older instructions are quite dated and difficult to follow. You can click here to get it.

Also, when you insert your uSD card, make sure it is fully inserted. You should be able to click it in and click it out with your fingernail.

I hope you are successful on your next attempt.
[Nook Color Android Development] brsingr:
after following This thread for rooting how can i get the market to update to the Play store? none of the instructions on the first post state how...and even if they do they dont work...until I can get it updated I cant update any of the apps that are part of the 2nd option (the one that doesnt have app2sd support but blocks B&N update) I've tried getting ahold of the vendor apk but the nook isnt liking it, saying something about unarchive then rearchive it or issues in parsing the file.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I have read this post many times and don't really understand what you are asking. I know you want market to update to Play Store, but why? You say it is to update apps so you can block updates. What apps are you talking about. If you flashed the second basic zip with updates blocked, they should already be blocked. Please clarify what you want.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
[Nook Color Android Development] brsingr:
What i mean is that apps that were installed as part of the nooter that blocks the B&N OTA updates, until i can get the market updated to the play store, the market wont seem to install the updates needed for apps like rom manager, I have had it sit for an hour "installing" the update for rom manager (specifically just this one atm) and it just wont ever finish...if it ever starts.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Rom Manager has nothing to do with blocking updates. There are no apps associated with blocking updates. It is done as part of the original flash.

And as far as Rom Manager goes, I don't think you need that app at all. You cannot use it to update your ROM and if you are wanting to use it to put CWM on emmc, you are better off just flashing one of the zips from my tips thread.

You mean you cannot get market to work for apps you want to install or update. That might be an easier question for users here to answer.
[Nook Color Android Development] brsingr:
jeez...why do I have to make it sound something sound confusing...then you say it in one sentence lol..the reason i was focusing on rom manager was because i saw they had the Gapps to download and could be flashed. the funny thing is, when i was running the SDcard version of the stock rom + nooter the market -> Play worked just fine. I tried downloading other apps and they dont work either...from what i saw when trying to download ePSXe it started it then immediately paused and stopped it.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You don't want or need to flash gapps. You already have it as part of the original flash.

You installed my SD version of stock? And it was working? Why did you want to switch back to emmc?

Did you try the section in the OP about improving market visibility? Try that so that it clears market to see if it improves things.
[Nook Color Android Development] brsingr:
Ok I what I'm saying is that when I was using your sdcard version of the stock rom a few weeks ago and rooted that everything was fine. I was getting tired of having bad battery on the nook when using CM 7.2 so yesterday I went and flashed stock 1.4.3 back onto the emmc, so the sdcard is just your bootable CWM 6.0.2.1 (whatever version it is..going off memory atm). So the emmc is stock nook 1.4.3, I downloaded the books I wanted to read, then I flashed auto nooter 5.0.20 w/o app2sd support but blocking the B&N OTA updates.

So now it is rooted, but seeing as this root is very out of date on all the apps that were added I figuered I would flash that but I guess there isn't a reason to. However, I couldn't even see the rom listings on rom manager because its out of date, and I cant update ot or install other apps because the market isn't working right, and because its not updating to the play store I can't really so anything. The instructions about the limited market visiblilty didnt work, or mayne I'm doing something wrong...however where it says uninstall updates for the market, all I get is uninstall, which doesn't even work.

I thought maybe something had gone wrong with the flashing so I reflashed everything from 0, starting with your 5-6-7 format, then flashing the stock nook again, downloading the books I wanted, then rooted, and still have the same problem. The internet browser works just fine as does gmail app, its only the market that is messed up.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
If you had it working on SD, it should work on emmc. I don't know what is wrong with market, but I would definitely jettison that ROM Manager. It is just going to get you in trouble. There is nothing there you need.

Since you wiped and started over, it should have worked. You must be doing something wrong this time since you had it working before.

You say it says it has the uninstall updates option for market in settings, which means it did update itself somehow after flashing the root zip. And you tried uninstalling the update and it did not do it? Or it did it and market still did not work? And you tried clearing cache and data in the market app settings?

[Nook Color Android Development] brsingr:
Following the Market has limited visibility at the bottom of the OP, doesnt do anything, looking back at If the market dies on you after performing those steps, says there should be an uninstall updates option, but all i get is uninstall, which i cant even select anyways.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
That means it did not update itself. There was something wrong in your original steps you took to get market to update.

[Nook Color Android Development] dbeedle:
I've had some issues getting this to work completely as well. Here's my story...

Was on CM10, then 10.1.

I may give the Nook away so I thought I'd get it back to stock and make it more "Androidy" with ManualNooter so...

I've tried just flashing a stock image then thought that, perhaps, it would be wise to use the utilities to re-image the partitions then reload (flash) stock (1.4.3). I've been though the re-image and reload stock process a few times now with a bootable SD.

I can get back to stock and sign in etc. but, when I add ManualNooter a couple things happen consistently. 1) Most commonly, if WiFi works, the Market will not update to Play and very few apps are visible. Going though the process to correct this has corrected the visibility issue once but Market has not updated to Play. 2) After flashing ManualNooter, WiFi will not turn on.

This time around I've gone through the 8 failed boots and factory reset process and am now at version 1.0! I'm hoping it will update and I can try again. Any tips as to what is going on?

I will also re-download ManualNooter just incase there are issues with the previous download. After that, i'm not certain how to get this to work as it should.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Ok, maybe you have an NookColor like to mine that is a real difficult too apply the MN update to. Read my post below and the additional suggestion that follows.

There are 2 things to remember with obstinate NookColor's: patience and patience. After restoring back to 1.4.3, fully load up your B&N content (read again the above) and then use some of the apps. I would let it sit for maybe an hour or so, with the wifi ON and CONNECTED before rebooting to CWM recovery and applying MN.

Then after applying MN reboot and let it sit for a while, maybe 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure your wifi is on and connected. After it has seemed to settle down, log/register into your Google acct, setup your goggle e-mail, etc. Then try Market/Playstore. Follow the prompts.

Also check to make sure you are using the correct CWM version. For my NC, only 3.2.0.1 has been successfully used for MN.

You are doing fine, been there sooooo many times with my NC. (Why? Because I used an older and newer versions of CWM.)
[Nook Color Android Development] dbeedle:
To follow up on my own post...this seems to have worked. This and doing as blupen61 recommends: wait. And wait some more.

It's possible I had a corrupted download. Dunno. I now have manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip installed along with Dalingrin OC kernel. The stock kernel happens to be what I used when wifi would not turn on.

This time around, things look good. Thanks for the work!
[Nook Color Android Development] brsingr:
after repeatedly installing 1.4.3, then rooting....over and over and no dice...i installed Dilengers OC kernel and BAM...worked perfectly....so odd

if i wanted to play Order and Chaos on this what is the build.prop to get it to work?

I have MP4 videos that I've downloaded from Youtube. They work perfectly on my r800x but fail to work on my nook. The program I've been using is DvdVideoSoft, and i have videos that I've downloaded from it beofre working just fine, i just dont understand why these recent downloads dont want to work. the funyn thing is...only ONE of the 5 I've downloaded works on the nook....Im using Quickpic.

is there some kind of codec that needs to be downloaded?

on another note...whoever put the rooted settings menu together needs to clean it up a bit, its very cluttered....that middle com.android.settings is a HUGE no-no if you accidently select it, as it is inbetween 2 other options of the same name.....it will say something about unauthorized device, device will be reset...then it will boot to cwm 3.20.0 (W/e the version is lol), format data and cache then restart into the nook....looks like it removes the rooting and deletes w/e B&N content was downloaded. pretty much a full restart from scratch heh.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Not sure if it's happened to someone else but I recently "resurrected" a NC, updated it to 1.4.3 stock and then applied manualnooter-5.08.20.basic.block_updates.zip and everything was working fine until apparently (a friend was using it) the battery ran down completely and the NC proceeded to restore itself to 1.0.0!

I'm going to repeat the process but wouldn't want it to happen again, so if anyone has tips I'm all ears! Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
He may have tried to start it 8 times in a row unsuccessfully while the battery was low and triggered a factory reset.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Yes that might be the case, guess I'll try to make a Titanium Backup in case that happens again...

It does show that official B&N updates don't make it to the permanent memory but rather it keeps 1.0.0 there, possibly some non-erasable memory, so "real" ROM ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Actually a better backup is use your CWM SD to make a nandroid backup of the whole device. That way if it resets you can restore the operating system as well as your installed apps.

And if you want to understand how the reset works and how the 1.0.0 factory image is stored on the device, go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and read item A12.

[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Ok you are talking about the section on market visibility, not the general Manual Nooter installation.

So forget all that for now. Can you connect to wifi when you go to settings and try to connect? You should be doing that before you ever try the market visibility section.

what is the error you are getting. And which versions of Manual Nooter did you flash? Seems to me others have had trouble with wifi when they tried to use the apps2sd version and the dalingrin add on.

I was finally able to get things to work after using the utility to reset all the partitions, allowing the nook to reload itself to version 1.0 (8 failed reboots), applying the updates then applying manual nooter and waiting a while to allow the app store to update itself to the current level. This does seem to take a while by the way. I do suspect a corrupt download, though, and I did re-download all files just to make sure.

As for the wifi issue, one possibility is that the permissions on a file somewhere are incorrectly set. I ran into the same (or similar) issue with my wife's Nexus after an update was applied. Changing the permissions on a file allowed wifi to turn on again. I don't recall the specific file but a google for Nexus wifi issues would probably turn it up.

At any rate, once all was reloaded correctly, the device is working well. It does exactly what I wanted it to do which is to maintain the "Nook-ness" of the device while allowing a more complete android tablet experience.

Bummer I didn't read back 3 pages to see this. I just got my wife's nook all set up again and hit that settings button. I was getting rid of the dual boot and just wanted a simple rooted nook for her. It was such a hassle redoing everything I'm just going to leave it unrooted now. Only have 1 sd card, so it's a pain wiping sd card, putting cwm on it, then getting it set up with all the books and music again.

Is this process still killing the B&N store? A friend of mine wants my nook color as an e-reader, but they also want the Kindle app. I'm don't think they are quite savvy enough for my dual boot solution (CM7/Stock). So was going to try this and letting them set up their info in it.

ManualNooter 5.08.20 hasn't killed my B&N store. I have always had the B&N Store and Playstore for that matter. I also have Amazon Kindle app on it and it doesn't kill B&N Store either. Though, I rarely use Amazon Kindle app.
