Nook Color v1.2 (Blue Dot on box)
SanDisk 8GB Class 4 microSD card
Latest nightly N169
I used the following thread and a video on youtube:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
-The only place I swayed was using the size-specific SD CM7 installer.
So without further ado, the problem at hand:
"The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." - "Force Close"
The preceding message comes up constantly. At first startup and then everytime I try to download any app at all. I've been reading through tons of threads, but am completely unsure of which to go forward with for troubleshooting, as mentioned earlier, it's my first day
Please if you are able to help, I would truly appreciate a very basic and/or detailed explanation if possible.
Thank you in advance.

That was written a long time ago. Go here and follow the instructions and make sure you use the latest version of CWR (3.2.0.1): http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/

Thank you for the reply. Obviously as I stated I'm new, so it being written a long time ago wouldn't be of known knowledge to me.
The process on the page is essentially identical to the process I followed without the overclocking, because I haven't done that yet. Can you point out where in the site you listed I would need to read to remove the errors I am having?

I would suggest a clean install...and follow verygreen's steps. I don't believe you even have to partition the 4th partition with his steps, somehow it's there after you install CM7 and gapps. I recommend trying CM-7.1.0-RC1-encore. I too, used an 8GB card and had about 5GB left to use on the 4th partition.
If you are using a previously used mSD card (like...one you already put an image on for backup purposes), then you should wipe it clean with Panasonic SD Formatter v.2.0 and wipe the card.

@OP, most of the time when you see "FC" error, it's most likely the uSD as a culprit.
In your case, the Sandisk, hmmm. Where did you get it? ebay?
For now, my suggestion is completely reformat the card (using MiniTools Partition Wizard) then reinstall CM7 nightly build follow verygreen's instructions.
@patruns, what you try to suggest him? He has FC running from uSD, m8. CwM has nothing to do in this case.

The uSD card was purchased from amazon.
Do I have to just format the uSD and then start over or do I have to do anything with CWM and/or the NC itself before moving forward??

I trust amazon.
If you are running CM7 off uSD using verygreen's, I suggest you do a complete reformat the uSD and start over again.

I'll try it tonight and update the thread afterwards.
Thank you for the help thus far guys!!!!

Pretty sure I got it going now! Thanks again everyone.
For future reference, the video I had watched in conjunction with verygreen's instructions, had instructed me to do gapps and cm7 at once in a slightly different manner.
I did gapps after finishing with cm7 and it now works beautifully!!!

Ya, sry for mulitiple forum posts, lambrusco---lol
Thanks for responce, the wife does not want me to do all that to her beloved NK, she has it setup the way she wants and does not want me to try and fix it. She saw what a process it was for me at 1st to go thru with my TF101 so she has lil faith in me after 30 yrs---sheesh. Besides, for her use the 1.3 update would not impact her performance as she just reads and checks email...lol
Well, back to the Transformer and trying diff mods---luv learning this stuff and the constant improvements you guys do around here. 1.7 prime runnin like a dream--woohoo

[q] excited to see twrp 2.0 recovery on our beloved nookcolor!

Ok. Let me start by saying, I'm obviously not an expert on hacking/developing and stuff like that. I just love to tinker stuff so I learn in the process. So definitely not an expert. Just posted this thread hoping that someone whose possibly a lot more knowledgeable than I am would notice it and hopefully shed a light on this question.
Is TWRP 2.0 which can be seen here, working/compatible/available/will be available on our beloved NookColor?
All we are using right now is the ClockWorkMod Recoveries, right? Which I believe the latest is 3.2.0.1. I'm not saying at all that CWM is not sufficient enough to do whatever it needs to do, I just thought it would be awesome to be able to get your recovery things done THAT MUCH COOLER, navigating the device via the touchscreen rather than hardware buttons.
Hope this sparks more awareness!

+1 - I would like to see TWRP on our devices as well, BUT ... I would definitely miss the convenience of being able to install the nightlies directly from ROM manager.
OK, saying that, I also just had a perma-brick on my Nook and am getting a replacement due to an issue that occurred in recovery. I was stuck in the infamous CWR boot-loop, so did a restore, when I went to reboot, screen itself would never come on again - not after charge, not after holding buttons, nothing.
Is it related, I don't know, maybe not, but makes you think.

Oooh, that's too bad. And scary. Makes you worry about doing something that's not tried on the NookColor before. I wont dive in unless the devs really says that it's safe.
Hey, about your NC being bricked. I had something pretty similar happened to my NookColor before. Got stuck into a boot loop. Now before, I had my TitaniumBackup folder stored in the eMMC and I didn't want to do anything that would delete it. What I did is, I had another microSD card and created a bootable CWM. I installed a CM7 nightly on the microSD. Upon booting to the microSD build, I went and have adb wireless transfer my eMMC files to my PC. Now that I've recovered my TitaniumBackup folder, I formatted everything on my NC using the bootable CWM. Then what I did is I flashed the stock NC Rom which was 1.2 version. I did a factory reset. After that I had everything back to normal again. I flashed the nightly build on the eMMC again and from then on, had my TitaniumBackup folder on the microSD. Have you tried creating a bootable microSD?

A little late...
Did you try a formatted bootable sdcard? The nook is near indestructible. I had the same issue and recovered.

Same here, I put together a nookie froyo card, and got bootloops.I took the memcard out and still got bootloops. I put a cwm card in, and STILL got bootloops. Then I made a new cwm card, and it booted just fine.

[Q] Cannot boot into anything, including CWR

Well, after a few weeks of reading posts, even opening up the hardware and taking the nook apart, here I am asking a question. I figure I would go to the source rather than those other place I was reading and tryign to get info from (mot os those places link here anyway). I know that everyone says that the nook is "unbrickable;" while I want to believe it, I may be in a place where it may be true.
I do want to add a thanks as well, since the NC "tablet" has been very handy, and my wife and I have really enjoyed it. Wouldn't have happened without you all. I wish I had more time to participate in developing, but working 80+ hours/week in a hospital limits my free time, as you can imagine.
I rooted the NC and installed Cyanogenmod 7 back in July 2011. It was a 1.1 model (if I recall correctly). I installed the mod to EMMC, along with CWM. Things ran fine for 6 months. Literally no issues. Then, one night the battery was dead, so I plugged it into the computer USB to charge while the machine was off. Didn't touch it at all. When I went to turn it on again, I was stuck in a bootloop. It would go to the cyanogenmod screen and say "Loading" then would start over again. So, I naturally made a bootable SD card, and tried going into CWR to fix things. However, the SD card had the bootloop as well. It would get to the two skulls and "Loading", flash blank, then start over again.
That went on for a while. I couldn't boot into anything, not into recovery, alternate images, literally nothing. So, I tried different images --- nothing. Finally, I did the power+n and got into the only screen that wouldn't keep resetting. It has blue text and says "Entering boot menu". The menu says "Encore U-boot Menu by j4mmr. 1.2 port+ extras by fattire." From this screen, I can navigate and change the boot options. However, once again, whatever I try does not actually boot, regardless of what I set it to. The only thing that I got from getting here was no more boot loops. After getting it to this point, I can try loading anything, and it will start, then the screen goes black/blank, and nothing happens. Left it on for hours to test.
Since that point, I have switched cards (SanDisk 2 GB class 4, Patriot 8 GB and a generic 8 GB microSD). I know that cards work correctly because I got a hold of a second nook, and they work fine on it. Below are a list of all the images I have tried to run off the SD. Again, nothing will boot, not even clockwork recovery/clockworkmod.
128 mb rootpack (IOMonster)
clockwork 3.0.2.8
clockwork 3.2.0.1 eyeballer
Nooter
Mirage_CM7_ICS_CM9_DualbootSD (this card works great on the working NC)
TWRP 2.0 RC0
Generic SD
Clockwork 0.7 -> starts boot loops again
I also tried ADB, connecting to the computer and using putty over SSH. Didn't work. 8 interrupted boots with 9th holding power+n. Nope. I even took the nook apart and disconnected the battery. Still no go.
If I recall, I think I had CWM 3.0.0.5 installed to the card and to the emmc.
If anyone has any other ideas, I could really use the help. I consider myself pretty computer literate (build my machines, coded in my spare time in the past, hacked a lot of my electronics). I have read many guides/sites and even tried the outdated stuff. Once again, I cannot get into clockwork recovery, so any guide that says to do that as the first step will not work. I also cannot boot off of the SD on cards that I know function.
Would using an older version of CWM (prior to 3.0.0.5) work? I think I remember reading a bunch of stuff about problems people were having with that version. The thing is, I wasn't installing or flashing anything new. I wish I was, because then I would know what was happening when everything got screwed up.
Thanks a bunch in advance for your guy's (gals?) time. This has been really painful.

Wow, that must be frustrating. First make sure you didn't change the boot settings to something other than the SD card when you were in the boot menu. As long as the Nook is powering on and doing something you can probably save it from being a brick.
I would start with a newer version of ClockWork Mod Recovery here: http://mrm3.net/blog/2011/03/11/nook-color-updated-clockwork-recovery-bootable-sd/
There is a contradiction in the file names but the actual version should be 3.2.0.8. If that doesn't work then you may want to go back to an older version. In that case I would still load a newer version's zip file onto that card, so that if you do get the older version to boot you can use it to flash the newer version.
Before going back to older CWM versions though give this a try if the new CWM above doesn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958748

Yeah, it has been frustrating, especially not knowing what happened in the first place. I actually did try the version from that first link (where I put 3.0.2.8). Again, the big issue I am having is that I cannot even get into the CWM. If I could, I could fix it. I also saw and read through that xda thread you kinked to (open right now in my browser), but the problem remains that I cannot even get to the point where I can flash something.
Thanks at least for responding. I'll try a few more things and see if it works, but I am running out of ideas.

In theory creating a bootable CWM card will get you into recovery even though you can't access the Recovery on the internal. Once you reach Recovery from the SD card you can flash whatever you need. It is just a matter of making a bootable recovery card that boots far enough to get you there.

In theory, yes, but as I said in my first post, I tried all the bootable cards without any luck. When I try to set the SD card as primary boot from that one screen from fattire, it locks and never restarts.

This happened to me a couple of times on CM7. Don't know why, but I believe I used the last method listed to repair it. There was an older version of CWM that would cause this sometimes. When you get it going again, you must update CMW to the new one.

How did you get it to boot into CWM in the first place in order to flash? That is my current problem. Any method of fixing relies on the ability to boot into CWM from the SD card, which (for whatever reason) isn't working at the moment.
Well, tried to use the native Nook u-boot. Get the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen, then black, just like with any of the other cards. On the good nook, it boots into a linux file and runs the recovery script, so it is not the card reader or the SD card.

Well, still doesn't work. I guess I officially bricked it without even knowing what happened. Bummer.

You said you tried eyeballers 3.2.0.1 CWM. Did you mean the 1GB image file he posted on his thread? And how did you burn the image to the card? You should be using win32diskimager running in administrator mode on Windows. And it is best to use a cheap card reader rather than any card reader built into your PC. The nook can be really finicky about how the card is written.

Yes, I tried that image from his thread. I always use win32diskimager and use a card reader. I have working cards (I have a second NC that runs fine); there is just something wrong with the boot process, and I cannot get into CWR to fix it. It starts, but then never makes it in or reboots. Only time I can keep it from rebooting is by holding "n" and going into the boot option menu.

It goes to the boot menu when you hold n with eyeballers image burned to SD? What happens when you select SD and normal? Just a hang? With 'loading' showing?
Edit: I just thought of another reason that could be causing this. There is a flag set in /rom that tells the system to try to boot into recovery. It tries no matter what you tell it to do in the boot menu. ROM Manager uses that flag to boot to recovery when you tell it to. Then after you successfully get into recovery and exit it by telling CWM to reboot, CWM clears that flag. If your recovery is borked up, you never get that flag cleared and it's an endless loop.
There are two solutions I can think of. First, use racks dual boot SD that you already have and go into the boot menu with that. Tell it to go to SD and recovery. Hopefully his recovery will load. Then immediately exit by the menu. That should clear the flag. If that fixes it and it boots to CM7, go to ROM Manager and flash a new CWM to emmc.
If that does not fix it search xda for 'fix recovery'. There is a nook thread telling how to fix the recovery on emmc.
Edit2: I just thought of a third way to try to get it to boot. Take eyeballers 3.2.0.1 CWM SD and put it in your PC. There should be two files there named uImage and uRamdisk. Make a copy of them on the SD and rename the copies to uRecImg and uRecRam. Then put back in nook and reboot to see what you get.

Hmm. Thanks. I'll definitely give it a shot (got nothing to lose at this point). I'll get back and let you know if it worked or not.

Hello? Feedback?

Ha, I tried the quick reply function, and it didn't work. Here is what I wrote yesterday (verbatim, since I still had the window open):
"Well, so far no luck. Here is what I have tried, and the new information that I learned.
Used dual boot SD that I know works and booted into bootloader menu. Tried all different options on the SD card. What happens is that it thinks for a bit, then turns the screen black, but the boot screen never comes up (i.e. the Cyanogenmod logo that usually starts before things boot). So there must be some problem there.
If I hold down power, it will restart. Again, the screen turns black after the loading screen is on for a while (happens no matter which image I burned to the card).
I still need to try the other method (eyeballer one). I don't think the EMMC reset will work with my particular issue, as I had read that thread earlier."

If the problem is the recovery flag, the mods to the eyeballer CWM SD should work. If it does not work, it may be something else. If it does work you can flash a new CWM to emmc using another eyeballer zip. Get it here:

Cool. Will give it a try tonight and report back. Just have to find my spare SD card.

So, tried with the eyeballer, and I couldn't get it to work. One thing I did notice, though (actually by chance) is that even though the screen is black, the nook is on. I saw this because it all of the sudden started flashing the low battery screen and then turned off.
Anyhow, still looks like I am in the same position. The EMMC fix doesn't work for me because I cannot even boot of an SD card.
EDIT: Actually, I just reread your post. I didn't do it right. I am going to try again and report back.
EIDT 2: Nope, didn't work. Do I need to hold all the buttons down while booting or do something else special?

I'm not sure what to tell you to do next. I guess I am going to send you to a post that tells pretty plainly how to do the 8 failed boots. I know you tried that, but timing is very critical with that procedure. Worth a try to me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25405429

How do you do the 8 failed boot deal with the cyanogenmod screen running. I am not sure about the timing of things. Also, which buttons? I have seen people do it with just the power button. Other places say with the power+n+vol up.

[Q] Has rooting messed up my wifi? :(

Hey guys,
Since I've had my Nook Color (installed CM7 as soon as I got it), I've never been able to connect to my wifi, I always thought it was my router's fault. The other day I got my girlfriend one, and installed cm9 on it for her. It connected to wifi straight away and browsed the internet with no problem. I thought maybe CM9 thus had a fix for wifi and installed it on mine, but alas, still no internet Has anyone had problems with their wifi on the Nook and been able to fix it? I REALLY want to connect, I just don't know what else I can do. Would messing with the partitions possibly cause this? It's definitely my Nook that is the problem, cause I did the EXACT same installation of CM9 on both of them, and only my wifi isn't working properly. Also, mine tends to freeze quite often on CM9, and hers does not?
ANY help will be really appreciated!!
Thanks,
Rudi

Are you doing a factory reset with your CWM card before you flash CM to emmc? The freezing makes it sound like your old data is carrying over.

Yea, I've done a few factory resets by holding in the n key when powering on. I've also cleared the Dalvik cache, /data and /system in Recovery.

What version of CWM are you using to do the clearing of /data? You must use version 3.2.0.1 or newer or /data will not clear properly on the newer Nooks.

The reason the bootable cards are working is because they start with a clean /data. The reason stock works is because the /data is setup properly to run with stock. I still believe there is stuff carrying over in the /data on emmc. I don't know more to tell you other than to keep trying to clear /data on emmc with CWM. Watch for error messages when you do.

You are using the CWM on the bootable SD from the eyeballer thread aren't you? Not the one on the dual boot card or emmc?

It's weird though, because I've been clearing it constantly for like 3 days trying to fix it. Maybe I need a later version of CWM? Where can one find the latest version?
The filename of the one I'm using at the moment is: "1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.img"

Look at my tips thread in my signature. There is a link to version 5+ in there. Flash it to emmc and use that.

Thank you I'm going to download that now and try it, I will report back what happens

I'm still on the triple boot on SD (on which the wifi was working), but now when I turned the screen on from sleeping, the wifi isn't working anymore! It just goes "scanning....connectng...disconnected" and loops like that. I've tried forgetting the connection, and turning my wifi off and back on again, but it's still not working. What on earth is going on with my Nook??

CM9 tends to do that. Try CM7.... You know it may be your nook is defective somehow.

That IS with CM7 Flip, I hope it's not a problem with the actual Nook, cause there's 0% chance of getting another any time in the near future. It also often freaks out, as if it is getting many ghost touches. I have to turn off the screen fror a while to fix that. This is such a downer

ps, I can't seem to figure out how to use that new CWM. I'm used to making a bootable SD with the eyeballer IMG file, but this one is just a zip. How do I use it to make the bootable SD? Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I really don't understand

OK, that zip was meant for flashing to your emmc. If you want to use it in a bootable SD follow these instuctions. Put eyeballers SD in your PC. Unzip the downloaded racks CWM zip. There will be two files in the root, uRecImg and uRecRam. Copy those to the SD. On the SD will be two other files, uImage and uRamdisk. Rename those to .bak. Then rename uRecImg to uImage and uRecRam to uRamdisk. Now you can remove the SD and put in the nook and boot. You should now have the new 5+ CWM.

Thanks I'm still a bit confused though, don't you make a bootable CWM SD so that you can boot into CWM from the sd card and THEN flash CM7 or CM9 to your Nook? How would I flash CWM to emmc?

Use the 3.2.0.1 card to flash the new Racks CWM. It will put it on emmc for use later. Then you can boot to it directly using the keys at boot time. It's been so long since I have used stock I can't remember the key combinations. Or you can flash CM7 to emmc with 3.2.0.1 and use the boot menu that comes with CM7 to boot to emmc recovery, which is now 5+. Then you can use that to wipe /data or flash new ROMs.

Hey again Last night I tried for quite a while to get that CWM5 to work, by making an eyeballer boot sd, then putting those two files in the CWM5 zip in place of the existing ones. But when I turn the Nook on, it just hangs at the CWM loading screen (with the 2 skulls)?

Hard Bricked...... in a wierd way.

So guys i have bricked my nook. Doesn't turn on or anything no screen flashing or anything. if anyone could help me on this i would appreciate it.
Well i was on cm 10 and 10.1 for a while and i finally decided to try other roms. i installed every rom on my internal so not my sd card. (my sd is 32 gig sandisk class 10 ultra). so i updated my recovery to flash more roms and when i did cwm didnt read all my backups. cwm only read my cm7 backup and cm10 backup. (using clockwork recovery). So first i installed SCHIZOID p.a.c. rom. But on that rom everytime i wanted to boot up i would have to full wipe + reflash rom without it getting into a bootloop. Then i tried Mirage's cm7.2 rom. When i flashed that rom, the loading bar in cwm would get too about 3 quarters and BAM! My nook would turn off and only load the bootloader. so from the bootloader i opened up cwm recovery and went straight to my backup, and apparently, dumbass cwm says theres no boot.img or system.img and data.img....etc in my cm7 backup. so i went to my cm10 backup and that said md5 mismatch. WTF??? So i tried to reflash Mirage's cm7.2 rom and BAM! same thing happen, but about 7/8ths of the bar was filled before it force shut down by itself. But this time i cant access the bootloader and i have it ultimateley hard bricked.
so please if anyone has any un-hard brick or jtag repair threads or anything i would appreciate it. And would a bootable sd fix this? the screen wont turn on/flash or anything so im not sure if it will load the sd card
Edit: I've found out that plugging the nook to my computer and holding the power button for 20+ seconds makes my computer make a sound that my windows machine recognizes the nook but then it quickly makes another sound and my computer doesn't recognize/thinks the nooks disconnected

Leapinlar has an excellent guide.

The reason it appears to not turn on is your boot files in the boot partition are corrupt.
The way the NC boots is it turns on without the screen on and looks for valid boot files first in the SD and then in the internal boot partition. If it finds some, it turns the screen on and continues the boot. If it finds none, it immediately turn off without ever turning the screen on. That Windows beep is the short turn on/turn off sequence.
So the solution is to make a bootable CWM SD per the thread the last user referenced and boot to that. Then you can flash a valid ROM and it should repair itself. If it does not successfully flash a ROM then go to my partition repair thread linked in my signature and follow instructions there.

how do i boot into cwm? I get a explanation mark in a triangle in a nook saying that it needs to connect to power, I did let it charge and tried holding the power button + nook key + volume up to boot into and when it does i get the sign that says i need to connect to power. Once charged, would it boot me into cyanoboot, and then from there go to cm? (I'm using slow charge since I lost the nook charging kit so I use the nexus 4 or samsung galaxy s2 t989 charger). and I put my cm10.1 may 31st rom on the sd card + gapps, so when I do boot in cwm, can I access it and flash it?
edit:nvm got cwm working. But u cant flash a rom.
I wipe everything (data, cache, system,dalvik) and then when i hit chose zip from sdcard it says:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1-20130531-nightly-encore.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.

Nevermind i got it working. i have to unmount every partion + turn on 'toggle signature verification' Thank You leapinlar.

Im hoping that you might be able to help me out here. I can not even get the NC to start up with the bootable sd. Am I completely bricked? Ive also tried the partition repair youve referenced to no avail.
edit: Tried eyeballer image and was able to get into recovery but not able to mount any /cache or the sd card to try and install new rom. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

How did you try the partition repair if you can't get the bootable SD to boot?
It is very difficult to make a bootable CWM SD that will actually boot in the Nook Color. Look at my NC Tips thread linked in my signature at item A9.
It is likely not bricked, just in need of repair. Make sure you have it charged and follow the steps in A9.

Tried both of your cwm bootable sd's and I am unable to get either booted. Also, when plugging into pc, get the malfunction error you talked about in one of your tips. I really appreciate your help, any other advice that I might be able to try?

Aren't you the one I was helping in another thread sometime back? Did you try the trick of using your PC to copy the uImage and uRamdisk files from my SD to eyeballer's and try booting that?

Nope, not me. New to the NC (have rooted my htc and samsung phones though so not a total noob..lol). I will try what you've suggested. Perhaps some background is needed. I had my NC running smoothly with cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly. Tried updating to RC3 and during flash the screen went black and Im here now trying anything I can.
