I was happily rooted with MN and software v1.2. I knew 1.3 was released and didn't think my Nook would update itself while rooted. I was reading today and put it down for a few minutes and when I returned I saw the familiar "installing software" icon and scroll bar on the black screen. When it was all done, it looked exactly the same, except no GMail installed or Market. Amazon Market was still installed and appeared operational. I still had the Superuser icon in my drawer, so I thought I might still be rooted. I was going to try to install Gmail using TB, but that failed with the message that I was not rooted. I saw a reply in another thread saying I could root with MN on 1.3, but I needed the hard reset and clean install of 1.3. So, I just want confirmation that all I need to do is the "eight failed boots" and when that's done and 1.3 is freshly installed, I can then root with MN and I will be back as I was when I was rooted with 1.2, only Apps2SD won't work? I'm not really concerned about Apps2SD, I don't us it. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Hello?? Anyone out there?
I also just received the OTA 1.3 update much to my regret. Everthing worked fine but i lost my google apps and i wasnt rooted anymore. So i just manualnootered at its current state and it seems to be running fine. Market works gmail syncs. Ill just keep it this way unless i hit a critical issue that needs a fresh install.

Excellent. Thank you
EDIT: I just re-MN'd right over the pushed 1.3 update and it appeared to work perfectly. I have the Market again and Gmail, so all appears fine.
I have done the same for my wife's nook color, which auto updated to 1.3. Used MN for 1.2 and its back to being rooted with firmware version 1.3. Market, google talk, mail..... all works fine. So does FB, and apps of the like....

Well, I did it.
Unrooted my nook (turned off, turned on pressing both lower side buttons, cleared everything, logged in, deregistered, logged in again), installed update (went fine) and rerooted (using touchnooter 1.6.24).
Launcher is working, button saviour too, but I can't get market to download anything at all... I wanted to use astro file manager to sideload a newer version of the market, but no success at all. But wifi is working fine with standard browser. I'll try to adb the market apk later...
And the Serial Number for my nook went to 00000000000!
I hope I can get myself out of this mess.
Updaters beware!
Thanks for sharing! hmmm, definitely sounds like it brings more issues than it solves so far...
Well, SN is back again, but still nothing on market.
Is there a way to do the touchnooter with the newer version of the market?
And maybe include the ad-hoc hack would be good!
Update is OK
Hi, I updated my Nook Touch twice due to some glitches when I did a backup. I don't have any problem at all. Everything is fine, including market.
I posted this in another forum but had no response there, so I'll try here.
I was running 1.2, rooted with MN 4.6.16. I decided to install the 1.3 B&N update. I used nemith's flashable 1.2 to go back to unrooted stock. Worked fine. I manually installed the 1.3 update. Again, all went well. Then, I tried flashing MN 4.6.16.
At first, all seemed well. I restored my apps with TB. Market and Gmail worked. Then I shut my Nook down and rebooted.
I saw the green Nook symbol on the left side of the status bar. Then I discovered that Gmail and Google Maps would not run. Market still opens. I can see and download apps. But after I download an app, I get the "package file is invalid" message. All my other apps work. I can sideload apps. I sideloaded Gmail 2.3.5 and it works.
To fix Market, do I need to go back to nemith's 1.2 and do it all over again, or is there an easier fix I can try?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I am having this problem as well? any thoughts?
SO I did everything in each step and waited to do the kernel update till I knew it was all working. Here is what happened...
I re-rooted with the CWM 3.2.0.1 and MN 4.5.18 and after I rebooted after that I tried the Market and did not work just closed immediately after opening.
So then went back in and did the MN 4.6.16a rebooted then ran fix permissions and everything worked perfect for 1 day.
The next day I went get an app that I wanted to add to my NC and low and behold closed on me again. So to make sure I checked my gmail and google stuff and they all seemed to work.
So then I rerooted again with just the MN 4.5.18 and this time the market opens fine with the Market Visibility issue.
So I decided to add the updated 1.2 froyo even though I didn't have the 4.6.16 nooter. And works fine.
So I was reading that there may be a fix for the visibility problem so I tried one that was on one of the forums for NC and it said that before reboot the market should say there was an error and to reboot so I rebooted and tried the market again and it just says error now when I try to go into the market.
Do I need to go in and reroot again to get the market back correctly?
Is there another Fix that I can try for the market issue?
Thanks!

I recently rooted my girlfriends Nook. It was stock 1.2 but she updated to 1.3 before I rooted it. I went through the process of using Manualnooter 4-5-18 followed by 4-6-16 and everything worked fine.
The android market though doesn't show everything it's supposed to and looks different from the android market on my phone. I have read the solutions on the Manualnooter thread and that didn't work. I also am unsure of how to update the market because right now it's running version 2.3.6. Would someone be able to give me instructions to update the market and have all the apps show up?
Search market fix....
Noob Here,
Trying to find out what happened and what to do. Rooted Nook Color 1.2 to Manual Nooter 4.6.16, Froyol 1.2 063011, Gapps sig 20110828. Everything was running find then had an update to 1.3. Lost Market and Gapps. Re-rooted using Manual Nooter 16 then 18 with no reboot and with reboot between. When I open Market it asks me to create account when I select yes it goes back to home screen. Also when I try to use Google Books it asks me to sign in but never progresses to a new screen it just stays there on the current screen. I've done this twice now where I've had to reset the Nook back to 1.2 and root it from there when the auto update brings it to 1.3. It works well, but it is a pain to have to keep doing this.
Any Ideas on how to get my market and google apps working again after re-rooting with MN 16 & 18?
Thanks you for any imput into this !
Jack
