Hey all. I have searched but I was unable to find a thread pertaining this issue.
Phone: Android Dev Phone 1
Running: JFv1.50 ADP1.5
What has happened is that today SU/Root seemingly stopped working. I discovered it when I bought Kosh's Screenshot app and started it up. The app requires SU permission, and therefore the "SU Request" window popped up. But it's blank. A blank black screen which eventually will run low on memory and then force close.
I then tried to open the Superuser Permission app, same result. Opened Task Manager for Root Users, same deal. Opened the Terminal Emulator and typed "su", which actually worked! I still had SU privs there. Closed the TE and decided to reboot the phone, and now I don't have SU privs in TE anymore. Everything that's non root related is still working fine.
Does anyone have an idea what's happening here? I suspect that maybe the Market Enabler app or the AdsFree apps could have something to do with it, because they're the only root related apps I have installed the last few weeks, before this problem occurred.
I'm sure a wipe would fix this glitch, but I'd prefer not to do that unless it's necessary. Plus, it would be nice to know what's causing this, so I can avoid it in the future.
Same thing has happened to me. It worked fine for Term Emu, task manager, and ad block. But I tried using an OC app and when super user popped up blank. All my previous apps still work but any new root apps I install do not work. Not sure why though and the only way I found to fix it is to wipe. Do you have your apps on the sd card? I'm using the old method haven't gotten around to trying the new method. Not sure if that is the issue or not, the old version of super user never gave me any issues.
I did a wipe, and it sorted the problem out, for some root apps. Now I'm back to the same crap again though, the SU Request window pops up but it's all black and eventually it force closes.
According JF's blog he included "a much better Superuser app, courtesy of zinx" in the 1.50 release. It's obviously what's causeing our problems, I never had an issue with the old one, but I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to go back to 1.1 or Haykuro's builds. I guess I'm stuck with a semi-crippled JFv1.50 ADP1.5 until someone with more brains than me finds and posts a proper solution.
Yeah Ive been noticing the same thing. Also the superuser list GUI is horrible. I liked how in the last one you can choose what programs you'd want to remove su access from.

Exactly. I'm not sure what he means by "a much better Superuser app", because for a layman like myself it seems a lot worse than the old one
This is just going from bad to worse. Now I discovered I have no positioning via wifi/3G anymore. I have to start the GPS and go outside and wait for a signal to get a lock on my position, which sucks. What the hell is going on? If not even a wipe is enough I guess I'm looking at a complete reinstall, but if all this has happened once it can/will happen again. I would much prefer to find the cause of all this crap.
Ok, so I found the cause for the Assisted GPS issue at least. My Micro SD card needed repairs. I put it in a SD card adapter and plugged it in to my laptop and let Vista repair the file system (apparently there were close to 100 errors on the damn thing) and now it seems to be working again.
Edit: This might actually have fixed my issues with the superuser permissions too. Knock on wood. I'll have to get back to you on this.
I'm having this Exact issue
I am having this exact same issue on dudes build. I have tried everything from scanning to formatting the SD i have flashed back and forth from Jf1.42 to jf1.50 and then to all different dude builds and i have no clue what to do next.
I do a wipe every time i flash and the only way to get any su access is to have jf1.42 or haykuro build. Anyone Else having an issue? I have been working on this for 3 days straight now...
For me it was an SD card issue. If you have a spare card, try that instead, or if you can borrow a card from a friend, just to see if it resolves your problems.
I realize that you have repaired/formatted your SD card, but it could be something wrong with it that screws things up. Worth a try, right?
Absolutely I'm looking for one right now thanks for the quick response. I'll let you know if it works. I have a 2gb sandisk in there now, so i still have my 1gb and my girlfriends 1gb too. Her phone has no su problems at all.
I also ran across the same problem reported here, only a wipe solved it. I believe it had something to do with the Market Enabler (non-signed) app, which was the only one I installed that first showed me the dreadful empty SU screen...
Fixed It
My Problem has been fixed by formatting the sd card with the phone itself.
I copied off all my info, unmounted it from the computer, unmounted it from the phone, this gave the option to format the sd card.
Once that was done i copied all my data back and when i installed programs from my sd i have not had a single su problem since.
I was having all these same problems in JF's 1.5 build, and none of the wiping/formatting SD/trying a different SD card combinations did the trick. Then, I went into JF's blog post where he released 1.5, and someone posted there that enabling USB debugging would fix the issue. I did this, and what do you know, now my superuser permissions app works again in everything, even in unsigned apps! Maybe this is why a wipe fixed it for some people, and not for others?

Not to Jesus resurrect this thread, but I had the same issue and same fix as n17ikh here on the ION build. Enabled USB debugging and su/superuser permissions started working Too bad I have to disable USB debugging in order for my car stereo to mount my G1 as a USB device, but at least I have a solution
Hope this helps anyone else who may stumble upon this.
Has anyone found a way to update the Market on the A7 with Dexter's 1.1 Mod?
I tried replacing the Vending.apk via ADB over wireless, but it did not work. (said install failed - update incompatible) I've also tried renaming and copying the vending.apk manually to the system\app. It let me do that, but still no joy.
My wife's Nook Color has a much cooler looking Market, and it will scroll forever through apps and games. It seems that the market on the A7 doesn't scroll at all hardly. Anyone else having this issue?
I have tried....
I was following the instructions from Dexter in the developer's section. I was able to get it loaded one time, but the first application I downloaded, I ended up in a Force Close error. I checked the permissions and they were fine. I do not have enough posts to post at the original spot to let them know my results .
I spent a couple hours on it trying a variety of things (from the forums) with no luck. Hopefully Dexter will put out a new update and include the new market.
I was able to figure out how to update Facebook app and some others with no problem, but this seems to be different.

Try pportrait view. I have that problem with mod 1.0c, as I have not installed mod 1.1
Portrait view scrolls fine with my setup, landscape doesn't.
I can't believe that the fix is that simple. So, if you have the problem of the market results not scrolling down, switch to landscape, scroll (it should scroll further), the you can go back to portrait mode and keep scrolling...crazy. Thanks!
The thread of ManualNooter for 1.2 stock is getting pretty long, so I'm asking this in a new thread. I've only used AN in in the past, so I had planned to wait for AN for 1.2. Reading about MN it seems to give me everything that AN did.
So the point of this post is to ask if there is any reason to wait for AN?

There is some issue with manual nooter (see the last page or so of the hread) I, and others, are suggesting that it needs some additional work.
As usual, caveat emptor

GabrialDestruir is the author of both the 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 AutoNooter as well as the author of the ManualNooter, so it's all good.
The reason it's "manaul" right now is he wanted to get it out there, even though it's not a "one step" process right now.
ManualNooter is ran basically like your normal CWM Update file.
AutoNooter implies to me anyways, that it does it all automatically just pop the card in.
MN works wonderfully, easy to do, do it now!
So then the manual nooter is working fine and the only thing being worked on still is creating the auto version?
All my apps save for Google Calendar, Swift Key and Angry Birds work great.
Angry birds now working via
dropbox and install with sd card out.
Thanks for the replies. Think I'll go ahead and do it.
I'm pretty new at this, but I was able to follow Manual Nooter pretty easily and seem to have most things working.
I just have one question (and pardon if it's already been answered somewhere); the usual Google Calendar app and the usual Google Contacts app that I'm familiar with don't seem to be there. Looking down in the files I see sync GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk and ContactsProvider.apk, but not the Calender.apk, CalendarProvider.apk or Contacts.apk.
Anybody know why these are missing and how I can get them working?
Thanks.

I'll be looking into Calendar and Contacts later this month if someone else doesn't get to it first as I have finals coming up.
I'm using MN 4.4.28 on 1.2 and have problem downloading B&N magazines (both those that were archived and new ones on subscription).
Message is "An Unexpected Error Occurred. Internal Error: Exception executing the command" for an attempt to update a subscription and "Unable to Download. Internal Error: Exception executing the command" for an attempt to download an archived magazine. Any way to fix?
See Later Post: MN 5.3 fixed the problem.

Uhm... not sure what could be causing this. Doubtful it has anything to do with MN/AN will look into it if anyone else has had this issue.
Flashed back to stock (using CWM backup). Magazines worked fine in stock. Ran MN 5.2 and problem is fixed! Thanks.
Is there a thread somewhere on XDA that gives any updates on when autonooter for those who want to wait for this program

I'm having this problem as well. Can't seem to interact with the B&N Store at all without getting some kind of "An Unexpected Error Occurred". Can't try to go back at the moment as I'm away from home. Anybody have another idea, otherwise just thought I'd report it in case it is something to be looked into.
Thanks.

Try the later (5.2) MN. Fixed the problem for me.
report from a newbie - i am really new to xda, and a new owner of nc. i did a manual update in my stock NC from 1.1 to 1.2 last night, then seeing that autonooter was only approved for 1.1, i decided to try ManualNooter 4.5.6 (For Stock 1.2) (link below) It worked just fine for me. THANKS-ALL!

Manual Nooter
First ---Thanks to everyone who's been working on getting this out so quickly. Even with the initial Market bugs it was way better then the stock option of 1.2.
I've updated the MN as it comes out and everything works just as others posted. Some apps from Market need the SD card removed to install and others install with no problem and sometimes all it takes is 'clearing data" to make it work. I also installed the NookHome app and love it!
Question: News and Weather which came with the .zip doesn't load at all. I tried clearing data - doesn't make a difference. When I click on the icon it tries to load but then just reverts to the home screen. Can't uninstall it either, no response when I click on uninstall (wanted to re-install to try fixing it that way). Any ideas what else I can try?
Manualnooter --News and Weather
I have the same problem. Tried to open News and Weather it turn screen black and went back to home screen.
Anybody have solutions for this?
TIA
I am definately a novice at rooting. The Nook Color is my first experience with an Android device, and I was able to run Manual Nooter fairly easy. Besides the usual obstacles of learning what CWM, root, flash, ROM, etc meant, and learning to burn an .img file on an SD card, it was fairly easy. I'm already looking beyond it, to see what the NC is capable of. Now if only I could get phiremod v6.3 to work....
So.....the main page says that the Download Unsuccesful has been fixed as of 4.5.6.
It's so obviously NOT fixed. I've tried doing the whole SD card thing. I managed to get a few apps downloaded and installed the first day....after that NOTHING will install from the market. It ALL says download unsucessful.
So what am I doing wrong? I don't have a PC that I can install an ADB on at the moment, that'll come in a week or so. But I would like to know what everyone else is doing to keep it working.
Having no problems on two of them here. Try the market visibility fix anyway and make sure that you can connect to google talk (the market needs that).
Tried Google Talk, that worked just fine...and I had already done the Market visablity fix, and that didn't work either.
I just don't get it.

Try rerunning 4.5.6, it sounds as if for some reason the fix didn't take hold.

What happens if I re-root? Would it mess my installed apps or are there any risks?
I already have ROM manager installed on my manual nooted 1.2. Can I boot to CWM from there and re-root?
The odd thi g is now Im getting some apps to install. A winzip type app and ezPDF both installed from the market.
Does it have to do with installing ON the SD card?

What do you mean by installing "ON" the SD Card?
I meant the app being installed ON the SD Card instead of the main memory.
I haven't seen this particular problem discussed yet, so here goes. Prior to the B&N 1.2 update, I was running B&N 1.1 with the AutoNooter. I had no particular problem using the Market. After cleaning everything back to stock B&N 1.1, I updated to 1.2 and rooted with MN 4.5.6. After doing the Market visibility fix, the downloads shown in the Market did not include any of my freeware downloads, but did include all but one of my paid downloads. In any event, I was able to recover everything but the one paid download, something called Ibird Pro. Some things (News and Weather) did not work as they had before, but most were fine. When I try searching for Ibird Pro (or Ibird Lite for that matter), the Market would not return the program. When I visit the Android Market on my PC, "My Account" shows the program, but won't let me download it because it insists that "This item is not compatible with your device." The Market Help advice is that the app is incompatible either with my screen size or Android version. Well, it was compatible before the B&N update and MN 4.5.6, and Android is now supposed to be 2.2. It seems like this is an issue of the NOOKColor reporting the wrong OS or wrong hardware info to the Market. Any help would be appreciated. (I have tried MN 4.5.18 and .25, after wiping back to a clean B&N 1.2, but they give me flakier results with the Market than 4.5.6.). If this has been discussed, can somebody point me to the thread. Thanks.
Sorry if this seems a silly question, but you don't mention what fixes you have tried other than the market fix in the MN OP. Have you tried any of the other fixes mentioned in the thread itself?
I had a few missing apps, not the amount you seem to be reporting, but others had more and reported that clearing market data and cache, then renaming vending.apk to somethinbg like vending.apk.OLD, reboot, rename back to vending.apk, reboot again, worked to fix the visibility. Worked for me too and no problems since. This was for MN 4.5.25, and can be found somewhere around pg 96 of the MN thread in the dev subforum.
As for the incompatible app message, there are a couple fixes depending. Some have had to go into nook color tools and uncheck 'allow non-market apps', reboot, recheck it, reboot,and it should be fine. This seems to work even for some apps you get from the market but don' t install with the same message you received.
Using a different app to install also works for many. I had to use color tools for one, root explorer for two others which would not install. I copied them from another device onto an sd card, then copied into the correct folders in my nook before installing. Adb is another option to install problem aps.
After doing the market visibility fix, all of the apps, except Ibird Pro, that were still missing form "my downloads" were free ones. That was not a big problem. I just had to look them up and install them again. After I did that, they were back in "my downloads" again. The problem with Ibird Pro appears to be that the Market thinks it won't run on my Nook, so it doesn't show it on the Nook. As I explained, the Market on PC Browser won't send it to the Nook because it claims it is not compatible. I tried several of the fixes mentioned in the developers thread, including renaming vending.apk, etc., but nothing worked. After reading your post I tried unchecking "allow market apps, rebooting, etc." also without any luck. My hope is that this is a different issue than those fixes address. (I can't post in the developers forum because I'm considered a newby here.) It seems like the Nook is simply reporting the wrong hardware or OS to the Market. There could be a simple solution to this, like finding and modifying a text file somewhere in the system. If I were a betting man, I'd bet this is an issue with the B&N 1.2 update, rather than the MN files.
Yeah the post restriction is kinda painful. I only registered to be able to thank those whose work I used and post my experiences w/ .25 as there have been some interesting differences in how the update has been affecting users, and more data can help poinpoint why. Still, I understand why it's there.
I missed that the unsupported message was on your pc, sorry. I think the issue is MN from what you said though. I may be mixing up the large amount of info I've been absorbing recently, but there was a signature issue with the new market or something like that, and I believe I read part of the fix was to change the device the market sees the nook as.
I could be way off, but I remember reading something to that effect in the mn thread. I'm still very new to anroid roms, this is the first I've gotten to play with. =) But this could be exactly your problem.
