Market stopped working

Hello folks,
After the market on my computer stopped recognizing the nook - so no more choosing apk on market and downloading later on on the nook.
But yesterday (Oct. 22nd), the market stopped working. Whenever I click on it, it shows a screen with "loading" written on it and a thingy spinning, and it goes on forever and never works.
I've upgraded to vending.apk and market2.3.4.apk, downgraded back and forth several times and nothing. The only thing I've got from market was the licence screen, and loading again and again.
I've searched /data/data and data/dalvik-cache for anything market related, but nothing showed up.
Can anyone please help? Pleeeez?

I have a similar problem. In my case the market app loads as it should, but the marketplace does not "see" my Nook anymore. It only sees my HTC HD2 with AmericanAndroid on it. Before it did also see my Nook as "PHone" and there was the option to load compatible apps onto the device.

And I also remember that I saw a post with a possible solution, but I can't find it anymore...
Well, at least sideloading is working... until now.

this work for me

Bad thing is that this version is the one I'm using now, and still doesn't work, as does the original market (from touchnooter 1.6.24) and the 2.3.4 version. So no market so far.

Maybe resetting and rerooting would work? Any experience on the subject?

Market server error

Got a nook color for Xmas. Love it. Got root using MN 4-5-18/4-6-16 for 1.3. Worked great. Had a few missing apps from Market and tried the fix that GabrialDestruir suggests. Rebooted. First I was stuck in boot loop but found out that was the adobe issue. Got that fixed. Now when trying to enter market I get server error/retry. Wifi connected and can get online with other apps. Any suggestions. Searched threads and could not find any of the like.

Nook Apps stuck in Downloading And Installing loop

I have a nook color, fully updated to the newest version. I can only download 8 apps successfully without a problem. After that, other apps will download say their installing then download again and then won't even install and say they need to be downloaded again (It has the green download icon again). I've factory reset my nook like 10 times hoping to maybe work out a kink that might be causing it. I just don't know what to do. I can put files on it fine, like books and pictures, but I would still like to have all my apps working again. Can anyone please help? I'm really at loss for words. Generally I can fix tech problems I'm having but this one just won't budge.

[Q] CM10 fails after update

Hi,
First time posting here. I've been searching around but I can't seem to find anyone with this issue. Which means I'm likely making a rookie mistake.
I've been running CM7 for a while now w/o issue. Decided to look into the state of ICS and found out JB is where it's at. So I decided to give it a whirl based on some successful posts about it, even at an early stage. I used a 8GB SD and on my latest attempt, I loaded cm-10-20121204-NIGHTLY-encore and gapps-jb-20121011-signed onto EMMC. Afterwards, it booted up fine, got connected to the wifi and looked great. Somewhere along the way, something happens that causes Android to popup a dialog saying it's updating. After that's done, soon after I get a popup that "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped working." When I open a browser, it immediately closes. If I try the Play store, it pops up, "Network error - retry". So it's like a part of the android comm "stack" gets busted on that update. Weird thing is that if I run the Google search app, it returns results from the web, so some connectivity is still there. But when I click a link, the browser pops up for an instant then closes again. I tried clearing caches, doing resets, reflashing gapps, etc. Nothing seems to work. Is there a log I can activate to maybe get more details?
I've probably tried out 5 installs now, using various recently nightly's up until 1204 w/similar results. I just can't figure out what triggers the update. I even tried w/o installing gapps. In that case, I sent myself a link to the Amazon android app, using the email setup. It installed and I could get apps downloaded and running w/o issue. But eventually after a reboot, android updated and I was right back at the gmail failed mesg, even though I hadn't installed gapps. On another try, I had installed and when I reformatted the SD card, it updated after the reboot and same result.
So, I guess I just don't have a clue at this point as to why this update runs, nor do I know what it changes to break the device. After going rounds w/it for about a week or so, I gave up and reloaded my old 7 image. I'm willing to try again if anyone has a clue what I can do.
Thanks

Did you do a factory reset with recovery before you booted into CM10? It sounds like you have some old apps like Gmail staying on there. Coming from CM7 you really need to wipe first.

Thanks for the reply.
CM7 was installed to SD only. CM10 was installed direct to the EMMC.

What was installed on emmc before? Did you wipe that? You might want to use my format 567 zip on my tips thread linked in my signature.

[Q] Nook Touch + Market Stopped working

So i have a Nook Simple Touch I was using about 9 months ago, which fell to disuse for a bit for a variety of reasons. It's running 1.1.0, and is rooted.
I dusted it off to recently give it some more use again, and wanted to update some of the apps, but discovered that the Market doesn't seem to work anymore - I know it used to, but now, whenever I try to download anything, I get a dialog: "Download Errror: Download was unsuccessful, please try again." I've waited an extra day, as I remember that was originally necessary to complete the registration process, but still nothing. Searching (with Market Search) works, even for things I haven't looked up before, and it still recognizes my account, as I see my email, though I noticed that the Nook Touch doesn't get listed in the Google Play Store under devices.
Any ideas what might be going wrong here, or things to try? I'm also willing to upgrade to a newer firmware (1.2.1), but am not sure of the best method to update a rooted device. I can pull it into a separate post, but I'll include it here for now:
I'm sure I'l have to root again, but Is it possible to upgrade the rooted device and then simply re-root, or will I lose everything I've installed? Is it just better to wipe, update and re-root? If so, is there any convenient way to keep all of my settings?
Thanks!

Sad, no one wants to reply. Or perhaps no one knows.
Did a backup, and experimented. I couldn't update directly, so I wiped back to a stock ROM, and upgraded to 1.2.1. Rooted with ManualNooter, and the market worked. So I have no idea what was going on, but it works now. Sadly, a computer accident made me lose my backups (including unrooted images). But at least I've got something functional.

I am currently in the same boat with my NST (BNRV300) running rooted 1.1.2. I last installed and/or updated some Market apps successfully perhaps about a year ago, and have not made any other change to the Nook, so I am at a lost as to what might be the cause. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
For now, my workaround this problem is to download the desired app's apk file from an alternate source (e.g., APKPure) then side-load it onto the NST.

My guess would be that somehow your authtication with Google has been lost on the device.
If you go to the PlayStore on a computer do you see your NST listed as a device, and if so, when you select an app that way does it eventually appear on your NST?

I think you are right -- my NST credential with the Playstore must have expired or more likely become invalid when I changed my password on my Gmail account.
If so I can't figure out how to re-validate the credential: I recall entering my Google login/password via the YouTube app during the course of rooting my NST using the MinimalTouch tool's 2-phase process, but now I can't even get the YouTube app to start (error message: ... problem starting up, please check your network connection and system time).

Look here
I responded to a related issue awhile back. Not sure if the info at the link might kick-start the signing in process.

Thanks for the pointer.
I decided to go the route of "factory reset, upgrade to 1.2.1 and re-root using Nook Manager", as simply re-rooting 1.1.2 using the old tool (Minimal Touch) is tedious & somewhat error-prone -- plus I'd like to try out 1.2.1.

That was what I would usually suggest but the farther I have gotten from that "day 1", the less likely I am to take/offer the same advice. I've made so many modifications at this point I don't think I'd ever get it back to its present state! Back up early and often...and, apparently, access the Market every so often, even if you don't want anything.
Good luck!
