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 !

So I had to restore my Nook Color back to factory settings and the reinstall everything and stupid me doesn't have a back up. So I have installed CM7 nightly verision 164 and it is running beautifully but I can't get the Google Apps to install. I have tried EVERYTHING and am on the verge of losing it. I have found different threads talking about similar problems where the fix the problem by reinstalling the zip file in CWM or by connecting to wifi and then market will show up asking to install all the other apps. Tried and nothing, wifi is working fine becasue I can use the internet with no problem even was able to get the Amazon App Store running but not the Market. Any ideas please help...
I had the same problem, and I was able to talk to the person who post a video on Youtube titled "How to Install CyanogenMod 7 on the Nook Color (PC Version)". This is from his description.
Having problems with the Market? Use this version of CM7 instead.
h t t p ://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.2-encore-signed.zip
Then update cm7 with your favorite nightly.
Hope this works for you~
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....
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 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.
