Same problem with me for the last few hours.

Must be the large increase in 'WP7 phones' since the DFT release..... we've overloaded the market :)

You guys activated your live ids to use market? I've been getting apps from the market without the live activation thingy by using this other small piece of software =-/
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] seanyuan62:
Yes a temporary workaround is using Tom's XAP Installer, which if you unlocked your phone, you can push apps into your device. This still does not adress the market issue though.

Furthermore, I just noticed that in the Zune application on my pc, there was an error returned when I tried to log in with my Zune account. More server issues?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] badassballer:
Yea i've been using Tom's XAP installer and been using WP7 3MktPlace v0.4 to download market apps to the laptop and then load them onto the phone via Tom's XAP installer - Zune seems to be working for me - just logged in =-/

Yep - it works like that installous app on a jailbroken iphone - i've been downloading both free and paid apps for free (need for speed / assassins creed / handyscan etc etc etc) - It's pretty cool - i mean one of the few things the live id activation is required for is marketplace as well and if i can get apps for free (Even the paid ones) this way then its fine for me - Also because i am not sure how long i'll keep using this OS for now - so don't want to spend any money on it all - Besides i am in Asia - Activation is not the smoothest of options for me -

beautiful! Thats just what i wanted, thanks alot man
[Nook Color Android Development] sec6:
Thank you. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to check out the B & N 2.2 update coming out soon. It worked great. After flashing I had to factory reset the data (three finger salute) and everything worked out great. Now I'm in the process of installing the 1.0.1 update and then will probably go back to where I was before (autonooter with clockwork recovery). I have a nandroid backup and titanium backup of everything so won't take long. Thanks again. Great job!
[Nook Color Android Development] tytdfn:
Tried out method 2. Looks like i have a corrupted recovery now :( It wont go past the "Touch the future of reading" and when i do the 2 button salute it brings me to a screen that says the install failed

EDIT: Nvm. just magically worked again.

Edit 2: I used the 2nd method and it wasn't smooth sailing. I'm gonna relate what happened and what I did so that samuelhaff can help others if they have the same problem:

I originally auto-nookered the device and then installed CWR. I foolishly tried to do the 8 hard resets and was met with the recovery screen. I also foolishly wiped the data and cache hoping that would do the trick and alas it just left me with a "touch the android" homescreen that didn't work.

At this point I used the second method after I tried froyo and when I reset the nook the nook it would get stuck at the the "Touch the future of reading." So to fix it i tried to get into recovery by holding the N button and the power button and it showed me a screen that said the install failed and then the nook started booting normally again. Not smooth sailing but it worked so thanks a lot!
[Nook Color Android Development] straby187:
you're awesome. Wish I had this last week. haha
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Thank you for your contribution.

I don't understand why your NC wouldn't boot pass the splash. Will have to see if that happens again.

But on the other hand, I have noticed that the first boot after restoring may show up an "install failed" notice. Which, again I don't understand just yet. But everything should work if you boot a second time.

Anyway, I'll look into it. In the mean time, both files should help quite a few hot-headed nookers, like myself.

[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Ok. Which method did you use? (1) or (2)? Before flashing, were you using v. 1.0.0 ou 1.0.1? Try updating to 1.0.1. See if Wifi is working. If not, try method (1) (again?). Do both resets (8 failed and power+n).
[Nook Color Android Development] ourprisonplanet:
OH THANK GOD :-D I did the power+n and it brought it back... Thank you SOOOO much for such a quick response... I have no clue what the heck caused that... that was weird...
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Make sure you make a clean wipe before flashing. I mean format system and data. Theres a flashable 1.1.0 by brian21 in the forum.

Hey, first of all thanks for your help, i looked for the awsner, and tried over and over to get back to stock...

My nook came with 1.1 as i just got it yesterday,

i did the autonooter, and hade market place working, etc, all was well.

but that wasnt enough for me, so i did the dual boot muiboot, and installed cm7.

i then just wanted to see if i could go back to stock for learning process.

i used my 2gb card i made, and put the 1.01 stock image found on the unlocker website, for how to restore nook back to stock....followed steps exactly

i wipe data.storage.and cache, then flash the zip.

it boots to the future words, then the N.... and thats as far as i get, i let it sit for a while, so i tried same steps over, thinking i had corrupt zip, same results.

so i redid the prep dualboot, and now am running the phiremod, and it working, says dualboot, but it just boots right into it, and i dont have stock.

again, i just want to know for learning sake, the way i have it now its running FANTASTIC.

any thoughts what i missed?

any help to this nook noob is appreciated

[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
What you missed? System format?
[Nook Color Android Development] jlt220:
Stuck at N splash screen

So I had dual boot setup but I wanted to go back to the factory defaults

I attempted to do the restore zip here now it just gets stuck at the N splash screen. I have also tried the power n reset but that too is getting stuck at the n splash screen.

Could the dual boot setup still be causing problems?

I have tried removing dual boot, the power n, the 5th option with repartition boot with stock. Any more suggestions I can get to CWR with uSD and can boot off a uSD but in the end I wan to have stock nook and then Dual with HC. Thoughts?

I am not dual booted with the stuck stock part and honeycomb with gapps, i'm hoping to fix the standard one and make it work but i'm not getting much luck so we'll see and i might start all over again in a bit.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Which method have you guys had the most success in getting back to stock, method 1 or method 2? I have stock 1.0.1 running and Clockwork Recovery. Flashed clockwork recovery through an NF card and now want to get rid of it. Just want to know which method would be the best to use. Thanks!

I'm currently on CM7 and running CMR 3.0.1.0. Are the steps the same to restore to stock using this? I know CM7 is formatted differently than NF and eclair.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
You need ext3 version for stock. 3.0.0.5 i presume..
[Nook Color Android Development] faceman66:
According to the CWR v3.0.1.0 thread and proclaimed adamantly by nemith, you can flash back and forth from ext3 and ext4 ROMs with the new CWR.

I have tested it and despite Recovery displaying 3.0.0.5 occasionally, I was able to flash a backup of both formats back and forth without trouble.

I formated my emmc~!!

I stupidly formatted my emmc on my nook color. I mean all partitions are gone.

Was attempting to format my sdcard with parted through adb while in CWM. Apparently mounted the wrong block. Ended up wiping my emmc and all its partitions.

Now I can't do anything at all. Tried booting with a bootable CWM and flashing the Complete Restore to Stock. No dice, cause their are no partitions for it to flash to.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Please don't tell me I'm the first idiot to brick my nook :(

Thank you,

[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Boot to recovery on SD, and use adb command:

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

That will mount the whole internal to your PC. Then use gparted on Ubuntu, or livecd. Search on Google for nooks original layout, it's on a thread in dev. Just remember +important!) to leave 1mb space at the beginning of each partition except boot and to use round to cylinder. Then, add boot flag to boot partition..

The first three are primary.

The 4th partition is 'extended', no label.

The rest are logical.

Hi Sam,

First off, thank you for taking the time to help me with this.

One more question before I go on this restoring journey. My wife has a nook as well, could I just do a full dd backup of hers:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=~/nookfull.img

And then dd the img onto mine after I setup my partitions? Or would I have to dd each partition seperately?

Sorry for all the questions. Just wanna make this as painless as possible.

Thanks again for all your help,

Do you have a link? My nook after having HC installed was stuck at a screen with ANDROID_ with the cursor flashing. After spending about 5 hours trying to fix it I put the repartition zip on the card. With that in the Nook it boots to the N screen but doesn't get past that. As soon as I take out the SD card it wont even turn on. With anything else on the SD card, I have the ANDROID_ screen again. Any help?

Hi samuelhalff,

I for the life of me cannot get adb to recognize my device in Ubuntu. I have it installed alongside my Windows 7. When in W7, adb works fine. But in Ubuntu I get the "device not found" error. I've tried just about everything possible to get it working. Tried adding usb value for the nook to the 50,51 and 70-android.rules file and still not dice. PATH to adb is set in .bashrc. What else am I missing here?

When I run the command ./adb devices. It gives me a blank after "List of devices attached"

And if I am unable to use Gparted. Would it be possible to use fdisk to create the partitions as well?

Sorry the banter. I appreciate all your help thus far. Thank you.

I have a final issue to resolve. After recreating my partitions and dd'ing my wife's partitions onto my nook. Not thinking thoroughly. I tried to restore to stock. What that did was registered my nook as my wife's nook. So it triggered something with b&n and it resetted hers and my nook.

It starts the process of setting up for the first time. But it keeps getting an error after i put in the login info. "unable to set up your device" and shuts down. Good thing I have the partitions dd'ed

In the factory partition. There are two zips. One is factory.zip. the other rombackup.zip. Rombackip.zip is where it stores the original device information.

Macaddress, serialnm, deviceid and so forth.

So what happened is both our devices are registering as one and I believe this is the cause. I ended up modifying my rom partition to change the values of the macaddress, deviceid, serialnumber. The only thing that doesn't keep after a reboot is the macaddress. Because of the duplicate macaddress we are unable to use wifi at the same time. I believe the mac address is soft burned and isn't hard burned to the chip or else we wouldn't have dupe Mac addresses.

Any idea how I would perform a permanent change to the Mac address?

Or a work around for this issue? I've tried just about every possible solution from the dev threads. Ended up flashing CM7 to my emmc. But my wife likes using her mags and read to me books for the kids. I've restored hers by dd'ing the .img files to her nook. Everything works as before. She just can't sync her b&n library or access the b&n store. Or else it gives the "deregistering device" error and tries to but as I said before it fails after I try and login for the first time.

Thanks for any kind of insight on this.

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
You'll probably need to register you wife's NC again and then dd back /data.

Regarding yours, try mounting /rom (2nd) to your pc (loop mount) to see if it isn't stored somewhere in there..
[Nook Color Android Development] will2live:
@Racks I ran into a similar situation almost where I could not get my Nook to register anymore either. To correct this is what I ended up doing and maybe it will help you out on your wifes Nook seeing as it sounds like she wants it running the actual Nook software. Once you get hers gong I'm sure you can do what you wish with yours and not have an issue

So here goes. First thing I did was go to the B&N site and changed the password for my login. That way I knew when I redid the Nook I'd have updated info on there end already to make sure nothing was happening or corrupted on the device as it would force me to reset the device. After doing that I tried a bunch of different restores and had no luck. Low and behold I ran across this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=945838) and followed the instructions. FYI I had a extra sdcard so I set that up specifically to try to restore my Nook so nothing else would get messed up from my prior backups and stuff. After downloading the file in that link and burning the image to the sdcard I booted the device off the sdcard. First thing I did was formatted /system, /data, /cache, and then wiped davlik. After which time I did the install like the link says. Once it was done powered down and removed the sdcard. Fired it up and followed the Nook Quick setup and all was good to go again.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Thank you very much for the suggestions! :D

I've actually tried restoring through that method with same results. But I did not try changing my wifes password on her B&N account. Maybe that will help. Will try it out tonight when I get home.

Thanks again,

Racks
