Package file is invalid - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Try using the SuperUser app in the market.

In my OP I said that the superuser app from the market isn't working. It says "there is a problem, would you like to download su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip" and when I do it's a 0 byte file so it doesn't flash.
I ended up googling the binary name and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
And downloaded and flashed su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
That worked, even though I'm on gingerbread now.
+1 to this. I read this and thought you did something else but this same thing happened to me. Same issue with SuperUser app, downloaded the one from the thread you linked and it fixed it. Kinda weird...
I Lost my google yesterday
Yesterday i was messing around with the tmobile theme chooser on my evo cm7 #40 and all the sudden i lost my phone icon and google maps and the market kept FC. i tried to restore a nandroid i had backed up on the 16th and when the restore came back up, google was still missing.It wouldnt even let me link my google account. it only gave me options of facebook,twitter and corporate accounts. i downloaded a gapps 1/20/11 i found on here and it let me sign in my google account and i got my contacts and gmail back, but market wasnt workin. This mornin i downloaded cm7 rc1 from rom manager and flashed the google apps from there and everything is fine now. but it was really weird what happened and all i did was downloaded cm7 themes from here for the theme chooser and i was switching back and forth . any ideas? phone is fine now, but im just wondering what had happened
It did it again. I flashed a Sense ROM that night to do the GPS fix and nandroided back and everything was fine.Yesterday (the day after) I went to take a screenshot and it said I didn't have root. WTF?
yesterday i install gmail and it lose root and recovery and cm7 and kill dog.
wat do?

[Q] Weatherbug Elite and MN 4.5.25

I installed MN 4.5.25 (thanks GabrialDestruir!!) after restoring to stock from AN on 1.1 and went to reload Weatherbug elite from my titanium backup. The reload failed and i went to the market to redownload it. It didn't show in the market. I followed the steps to reset the market and show all apps. That worked, but when i went to install it, the install failed saying it was missing libraries.
I searched the forums but haven't found any clues -- anyone else see this issue?
I'd be interested in this as well. I have tried numerous times to load it but no dice.
installing MN 4.6.16 fixed the issue, now weatherbug works fine.
i was able to get it to install after applying a google maps fix, but it still wouldn't run. applying the new MN did the trick.

[Q] 1.3 and MNooter question

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....

[Q] Run down and Market issue

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!

[Q] Auto Updated 1.3 lost Market & Google Apps

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
