Since i haven't posted enough to be allowed to post the question in the manual nooter, i need to post here.
I install stock 1.2 via clockwork, then installed the manual nooter, root and almost everything works except the 'n' home button.
I tried uninstalling soft keys and it still doesn't work.
Thanks.
Use the Zeam launcher that is included.
I worked out my problem, when went back to stock 1.2 I didn't wipe user data, so it grabbed something from the old configs that cause the issue. I went back to stock 1.2, wiped the data, then ran manual nooter again and everything appears good so far.

OK, I've been having miscellaneous and very annoying problems with my phone ever since I updated to 2.2 OTA (I wasn't rooted before, I am now as of just a few days ago, and still running stock 2.2), so I want to wipe the phone to get it back to "factory" 2.2 and start over. I've already backed up my installed apps using Titanium, and I also installed AppBrain, so it should (if I understood the product description correctly) be able to download any non-purchased apps as well.
My question is, should I just do a Factory Data Reset (settings, privacy, factory data reset), or should I do something else in place of or in addition to that?
Ok if you have not done any flashing of any roms then I would unroot via however you rooted and do a full data cache wipe and factory reset ....if you have flashed roms or just want to be safe you can always reflash the sbf using these links and instructions

Thanks, I actually just bit the bullet earlier today and did a factory reset. Some of my widgets didn't reload correctly for some reason, so it took me a while to try to remember what each of them actually were...but other than that, after I re-rooted and restored everything via Titanium Backup, it seems to be working OK. Hopefully the various problems I was having before the reset won't come back!
Well since most of your problems were more than likely 2.2 related then they may come back but let's hope not .....maybe you should look into a good asop rom or.some of the others and you will more than likely experience far less problems if you go with a nicely built rom
Ok, so I was running Dalingrin's most recent build, and installed the OC kernel, and all was well. However, I wanted to use LauncherPro and it kept giving me issues, so I went back to Phiremod 6.3.
I went to install the OC kernel for CM7, not realizing that it was not compatible with Phiremod 6.3. (I figured they were both built on CM7, so it would work. Not so, apparently.) When I restarted, I got a black screen, and holding the N+Power buttons while booting didn't work.
So, I found a thread on XDA to fix my recovery, and I was able to restore my backup.
However, now i cannot add standard widgets or shortcuts (using the menu, long press on the app page works) to Launcher Pro, and any time I try to change something on the dock, I get a force close. I tried fixing permissions, and still no dice. No problems with Launcher Pro widgets or wallpapers. Also, the icon for some apps changed to the stock Market icon, and would not load, but a reinstall of those apps solved the problem.
Short version - Restored a backup after a botched kernel install, now Launcher Pro won't let me install widgets or shortcuts, or change items on the dock.
EDIT: Nevermind. Reinstalled Phiremod through ROM manager and it works fine now. Forgot about that option sooner.
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 !

I rooted my nook with my touch nooter when it has first arrived 3 months ago.
I've never bothered to update v.1.01 but now with release of v.1.1 I give it a go,
I've done 8'th failed boot type factory reset then installed the v.1.1
The thing I'm puzzled about is I still have the Go Launcher EX, Dropbox and other apps I've installed prior to reset and v.1.1 same time. But there is no market, and device settings as of an android device.
It's not rooted but still the major app "dropbox" and other pdf readers stays.
Is this a violation of any kind?
You need to do an L+R reset in order to get rid of all that stuff, which is under /data, as well as your settings. Turn on the nook, and then when it starts to turn on, hold the bottom page turn buttons on each side of the nook until it asks you to do a factory reset. Click the home button twice, and the reset will commence. Once you're done, you'll have to re-register your nook, but unless you changed something outside of /system and /data, I think you'll be golden.
Try talking to ros87; he's been extremely helpful and unobnoxious, in spite of my obvious n00bness

Factory Restore only restores the system files, it doesn't wipe your /data and that is why you still have your apps.
The Google apps resides in a different place (/system/app) and is therefore normally lost on Restore.
Use the method outlined above or simply go into Settings->Device Info->Erase & Deregister Device which will remove all apps, data and settings for you.
Well, I'm happy that I have them,
After I've sent prior message I've used touch nooter as GabrialDestruir's suggested method, using prior data to root:
"If you're pre-1.1 rooted this SHOULD work:
Run a Factory Restore to wipe /system only - 8 failed boots, or nookRestore image
Run the 1.1 update as is from B&N
Open TouchNooter and remove framework.jar from the TouchNooter disk
Run TouchNooter without 1.0.1 TouchNooter
Go through all steps for Market/Gmail/Youtube
You SHOULD be rooted with working market now"
Now I have SUPER USER, gmail app starts recieves mail but force closes , youtube app worked for sometime after re-installing the app but now it forcecloses....
Market and the market search however works.
Button Saviour and all works either.
Now I got a rooted nook 1.1 I think...

Glad you got it solved mate
New TouchNooter is also right around the corner, maybe that will fix your FC troubles with gmail and youtube.
I recently moved from CM7 back to rooted stock using 1.4.1 and manual nooter 5.12.26. I also installed Dalingrin's last froyo kernel and overclocked to 1.3GHz. Generally all is well, but my new issue of entertainment weekly is available and I can't download it using the stock nook app/home. In fact, nothing will download there anymore. The books and magazines that were already downloaded are fine, but I can't get anything new. When I try to do anything that engages the B&N store, it says:
Unable to download
Internal error: Exception executing the command
I've googled a bit and some folks fixed this by updating their credit card info when, for example, an old one had expired. That wasn't the case with me unfortunately.
Any ideas on how to resolve this? I know worst case scenario I can unregister, reinstall, and re-root, but I'm hoping there's a way to fix it without having to do that. For one thing, I don't know why I'm in this state and therefore whether I'll just end up in the same state after reloading.
Thanks in advance!
Update: I went ahead and restored/renootered. In this case I just rebooted into recovery and wiped system and data, then it went back into stock 1.4.1 by itself. I then applied manual nooter, installed Titanium Backup, and restored my apps. There's obviously a little manual tweaking required to get things ship-shape, but both the stock Nook stuff and the standard Android (Market & gapps, Amazon AppStore, GO Launcher EX, side-loaded apps, etc.) work fine now. Hopefully it'll stick!
Not sure if this is exactly the same. Had manual-nootered NC, dalengrin's kernel. Everything was working fine, including Read-in-Store.. Then Nook apps wouldn't install. Endless download/install/download loop. No error messages. Everything else still ok. Google search seemed to imply only fix was to erase/deregister/reregister. Did so, then rerooted/restored from Titanium. Now can't connect to BN shop. Trying to download anything from BN returns:
Unable to download
Internal error: exception executing the command.
Addendum: I had done a backup-all/erase-deregister/re-register/re-root/restore-all process. Repeating this but only restoring specific apps seems to have worked. I suspect the restore-all over-wrote something which killed communication with B&N's store.
