EDIT: The below issue has been fixed. Here's the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110599

Howdy folks!
I've just bought a Nook Color, and I followed these instructions to the letter:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
(I've done it before and it worked perfectly)
However, this time after installing CM7 and the GApps zips, I reboot and I cannot see the Market app. It doesn't exist. (see attached image).
I thought maybe it was just a problem where I simply have to add a google account...
I go to menu->settings->accounts and sync->add account
Rather than the normal "choose an account type" dialog, It says "you can configure an exchange account" and I am not given the option to choose a Google account.
I reimaged a different SD card and rebooted into recovery using that card and wiped data, wiped cache, installed CM7, installed gapps, and rebooted.
Once again, the same exact issue.
I reboot to recovery again and this time I just install gapps and reboot... same issue...
Any help would be extremely appreciated, and if you can solve this problem for me, I'll even 'donate' 5 bucks if you have that set up.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated here.
Thanks!
Could it matter what version of CM7 you're using?
Thank you for the response.
I've tried CM7.0.3 and the latest nightly [today]
Google Apps pretty clearly did not install. My best guess is either you somehow grabbed the wrong package or your download just got corrupted. You should scrap the gapps...zip you downloaded and re-download this package:
I just tried it to double-check, and the main download link was flagged malicious by Avast and didn't load, so I used the mirror. Try that.
With CM7 installed, make sure Wi-Fi is set up (sometimes prevents complications), then reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery. Insert the SD card with the new gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip file in the root directory. Choose "install zip from sd card," then "choose zip from sd card," then "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip," then "Yes."
You should see some text in the bottom half of the display indicating that the install is proceeding, and eventually that it has finished. Click the power button to back out to the main menu, then "reboot system now."
If that doesn't do it, I've about exhausted my knowledge.
Hello, and thank you for the reply.
I've tried it on two different sytems on 3 different nooks with 3 different SD cards and various different versions of gapps and CM7 including the nightlies.
This problem started when the nooks with the "green stickers" came out.
(Green sticker indicates that it has the new version of Nook software, while a blue sticker indicates that it has the weird new partitioning scheme. These do not have the blue sticker.)
I've tried enabling wifi and whatnot, and then reinstalling the gapps package but no bueno. The apks don't even seem to exist in the system\app directory.
This is a global problem with any new Nooks. I think i just happen to be one of the first ones to experience it.

This has been an ongoing problem for me since I came back to CM7 from HC last week. I don't think it has anything to do with the old or new because I got my NC on launch day.
I had figured that it was just something I had done (I get distracted easily so following directions is....oooooh! A bunny! ) but I've reflashed CM7 and GApps 3 seperate times.
It's only really an annoyance for me since I had most of my apps backed up and I've managed to get the Amazon store and AppPlanet up and running. I'd just like to get the Google market running just so I can have the Trifecta.
I really hope we can figure this out. I know this can't be just me.
What actually happens when you try to install the gapps zip? Does CWM indicate that it is in fact installing the package, and then that it's done?

indeed it does
some added info:
on the "green sticker" nooks, when you try to flash the update OR the gapps, it says it can't mount system or data to make logs, but still seems to work fine. If I manually mount system or data first, it doesn't throw the errors. After flashing CM7, I get fewer errors. CM7 flashes just fine, and the gapps install and CM7 both say install completed, it's just the gapps that don't show up :S
I've heard some people were having trouble flashing the latest stable 7.0.3 and getting gapps to install. This worked for me. I flashed cm7.0.2 from cyanogens site and the google apps add on on the same page. I then flashed 7.0.3 without the google apps add on included with 7.0.3 and it worked. Hope that helps some people
I'm not really sure what you're saying. The gapps aren't installing is the problem.
S/He's saying try installing the previous stable build and see if gapps will install with that. If so, you can then upgrade to 7.0.3 and gapps should remain in place. Technically that's what I did, just because the new stable came out after I had 7.0.2 up and running on SD, but I didn't have any problems flashing gapps with the 7.1 beta to eMMC later on.
ah, I see - I tried that. in fact, I know that on previous versions of the Nook, the gapps installed just fine. I think it's something to do with the 'green sticker nooks'.
I hope this gets or has gotten solved as I just bought a "green dot" NC.
The issue persists, I'm afraid. While it seems I'm not the only one with the problem, there appears to be no solution.
Update: The issue persists on the "blue dot" nooks.
Several 'green-dot' owners have reported installing everything just fine, so that may not be the source of your woes. Have you tried the repartitioning thread for blue-dots, even though you don't have a blue-dot? It seems like your best bet is to one way or another get your NC into a state identical to machines that aren't having this issue.

Could it be the fact that I'm using CWM 0.7?

I used the one on the CM7 wiki but I can see that wiki has been updated this week. I will try the one you linked and get back on this thread if it works. Thanks a ton. Hope this hasn't all been due to my retardedness. B-)
folks, got a nook for my birthday a few weeks ago, I followed these directions from the addictivetips site to the letter and after about 3 days got CM7 86 or 87 running w/ gapps 0307 working as well as the overclocking. I was gleefully using it until my legs went numb and 2 days ago i let someone use it who attempted to reboot but it was on restore, it restored back to nothingness. Me, being in IT for the past 15 years know that testing and backing things up are for wimps, so no, I have no backups. Anyway, i have tried to put on the latest nightly CM7 (116), I was trying with the nightly, the latest gapp and the overclock. I get the green CYANOGEN logo which on the newer versions says "Loading", then it vanishes and I'm back in limbo. So i then formatted my sd card, redid all the steps and tried 87 by itself w/o gapps or the overclock, nothing. I cannot find a version that will boot up from the get go. I hate asking for help but am tired of getting my butt kicked by this thing. What I don't understand is I have the same version 87 that I had on it when it was working. I am using CWM 3.0.0.5.
does anybody have anything I can try because i'm getting bummed now, I don't mind hacking and trying stuff but it doesn't seem logical to me that so many different versions can all not work. Which makes me think the issue is not w/ my CM7 version.
Start over by formatting /system,/data,/cache. Then try to put CM7 on emmc

Weird, exact same thing happened to me. I tried nightly 116, as well as an older one that had worked for me previously.
I repartitioned and restored prior, and it was fine at stock 1.0.1 that way, so...
I put the froyo 6.8.2 on last night and it works fine so I'm trying to decide if I'm just going to roll w/ it, it at least proved to me that the hardware is fine though. I may have a kernel issue although I have no idea how to check what kernel I currently have.
FYI, I repartitioned and reformatted 0p6, 0p7, 0p8, using flashable zips from the the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1094371.html
I had supposedly repartioned and reformatted before, but it must not have worked because my data was still on /media. The above link worked however. I then flashed the new CM7 RC, and gapps, and it seems to be working. Maybe give it a try. I am also using the bootable sd cwr 3.0.2.8, which I wasn't before.

Lets you switch between different versions of android with ease!
Here's my issue. I was using the latest racks prepared boot for CM9. The one dated 5/1 or so. I decided I wanted to try my hand at converting a nightly and flashing it on my own. I've been having nothing but trouble with the conversion process and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
And I've tried a few different ones of Eyeballers nightlies, but I'm always getting the same error. I just tried it using the Android script and the windows script and I'm getting different issues in each.. When I try to convert in dos, i'm getting really tiny files and most of the time it gives me a bunch of lines with items not found.
I'm really new at this but I've looked and was unable to find any answer to why this wouldnt be working or even what i could be doing wrong. I can get into the recovery, I install the converted nightly and when I try to boot into it I just get a black screen, I waited a few minutes to make sure it wasnt just something with the the device or just a first time thing but nothing happened.
on the android version I get the error attached. Im not sure how else to say whats going wrong but if someone has some suggestions I'd really appreciate it.

1.Are you using latest version of script 1.3?
2.Did you try the terminal emulator for running script?
3.Did you try to delete and extract again the folders of the c2dsd in case something went wrong during first extraction?
thanks for posting there for me.

1. I updated both scripts and was still getting issues.
2. if you mean the one on android then yes, thats what I was using. I also tried it using the cmd on windows.
3. I've tried that at least two times with each including redownloading all aspects of it to make sure that wasn't the case.

Not sure about the windows issue. I'll have DizzyDen take a look at that. But with the Android version, i'll take a look at that in a little while. Looks like it's another mistake on my end. Mkimage is dependent on 'libmusl.so' which I did not include in the tools folder. I overlooked this tidbit because I had "BOTBREW" installed on my system so it never complained about linking to it.
Sorry for all the problems. I'll try and have a fix ASAP. Your feedback is much appreciated. Can't fix things if I don't know if their broken or not.
Thanks,
Racks
EDIT: Fixed I believe. Please try the v1.3a for the Android script.
I'm looking into the DOS version as we speak....
You guys are all really amazing for helping me out.
And as probably mentioned before by rasta Im not sure what the issue is but theres still something not quite gelling for the version. I took another screen to hopefully help you identify where its going weird. It is a little different but its still that crc cd issue. Im not going to try to flash it to see if it works, only because Im pretty certain that won't do it. But I really appreciate you looking into it.
and for clarity I also get a very similar if not exactly the same message when It trys to do the gapps as well. (using the 4/29 signed gapps)
And I decided now to try flashing the rom. it worked. Fantastically! though the boot animation is freezing. I dont even care about that since its actually working again. Awesome. But.. now im having those same issues as Rasta with the gapps. I flashed them and when I went to reboot it brought me to stock. When I converted them, i converted them with the rom. That rom worked. the gapps did not. if theres anything else I can help just ask and Ill try to do. Im just so happy to have a bootable CM9 again. Thank you so much

Thanks for the feedback... looking into gapps issue now... is this for primary or alternate?
Everything I'm referring to is for the alternate. Also not sure if this has anything to do with it but the calendar is broken with the gapps back from the novemeber or whenever dual boot apps. But flashing the fix doesnt fix it anymore, and then a reboot after that brings me to stock.
Also, im having issues doing a factory reset on stock when i take the SD card out.. is there something that clockwork did when it was trying to flash an incorrect rom?
If you want to return to stock situation, you probably should wipe everything and find stock image to flash.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've updated a number of times and never had a problem. I started out with a cm7.0 stable. I've updated till I'm at 7.2 rc3. Now that 7.2 stable is out I'm trying to update to it.
What I'm doing:
I load this new update into my boot partition and then reboot into recovery mode. It says it does it all but still leaves me with 7.2 rc3. what am I doing wrong?

You need to rename the cm- zip to update- at the beginning. CM has changed the naming standard to cm- and the SD needs update-.

I had this same issue, I tried to change the zip to update.zip and that didn't work. So I tried update-7.0.2.zip and that also didn't work. Am I typing it incorrectly? It has been a long time since I have touched my nook, and am rusty doing these things again.
Thanks

Try changing it to start with "update-cm":
update-cm-7.2.0-encore-signed.zip
OR
to start with "cm_encore_full":
cm_encore_full_7.2.0-signed.zip
Although update-7.2.zip should have worked.
Are you seeing the penguin when booting into SD recovery? If not... then it is not booting into the SASD "recovery" to install the ROM onto the SD.
I just added the update- to the beginning of the title that existed and it worked like a charm.
Changing the name to "update-cm-7.2.0-encore-signed.zip" worked 100%
Based on the failure note when I tried to boot from the sd card, I was looking for a file with a different name until I came across this thread.
I am using a class 4 32gb Kingston card. It seems to work as well as the 1gb SanDisk I did the test install on.
Both seem to take a couple of minutes for a cold boot. I will get a 32gb San Disk and compare it.
Now to learn about a Tablet instead of a reader. I've already loaded a couple of Apps that B&N wouldn't let load.
Thanks everybody for all the work and especially sharing it!
Blessings!!
Update to yesterday.
Bought a 32gb class 4 San Disk. Installed a new image on the card and rebooted the nook color. (it's an early one, bought on Pre order when they first came out)
System definitely boots up faster, the touch screen is more stable to use( with the kingston it was jittery). The apps seem to respond a little faster (not much to compare as I only loaded a few with the kingston, knowing I intended to do a fresh install.) I bought the card at a local small town Radio Shack (yeah, full retail but I leave on a trip where I plan to use it a lot for a week so I needed it done and working) If it stays stable it will have been worth it.
I'm going to Air Venture at Oshkosh, the worlds largest airshow of experimental aircraft. Supposedly the whole place has wifi. There is an app from Sporty's Pilot Shop (free) B&N wouldn't accept. That was the straw that finally made me mod the Color. Has all the maps, Vendors, displays, times, etc.
Again thanks to all the developers and users who post. Hopefully my little contribution will help.
Blessings All!!
Hello XDA peeps.
I've had my Nook color for about 3+ years. Have had both my wife and mine running old versions of CM7 on the SD card without issue.
I recently dug mine out to set up for the kids (for a trip we're taking starting this weekend) and first installed CM10 (10.3 I think). loaded and was able to get apps running w/o issue but the poor old Nook and CM10 was so sluggish I felt it was just too much for this legacy device, so I reflashed to the CM7.2.0 [stable]
loaded just fine, but when I went to install GAPPS it installed fine, but will not allow me to access my account now.
no matter how many times I try, it tells me the password does not match for my account.
I know for a fact the password is the right one, and I can get on the Play store just fine on my Galaxy S3 using the same credentials.
I even reflashed the GAPPS to an older version and no luck.
Any thoughts? Really stuck here, since we're leaving Saturday morning and I want to have both Nooks up and running current versions of our boys fav games to pass the time. right now it has no app store, so it's pretty much a stripped Android tablet.

You said you were running CM7 on SD. How did you install the CM10? Then what did you do to get back to CM7? What wiping did you do?

I actually have the CM10 on the root of the device. I thought I had put it on the SD card, but didn't. (just found this out by accidentally powering on the tablet w/o the card in it)
So, currently downloading the CM 10.2.1 update (from 10.1.3), and perhaps it will fix the sluggishness.
I have a third stock Nook that I have not touched in years that I'm going to flash on the SD card...see if I can't get it to CM7.2 w/o any issues.
but previously I had wiped the card twice and attempted to Reinstall CM7.2.
I think the fault lies in the steps I was following to burn the SD card.
Told me to add the gapps AFTER installing CM7
I was pretty sure in the past I put both on the same SD at the same time.
or it is possible the Google two-step verification/authorization is not compatible with the older Market app. I can get on the Play store just fine on CM10 (but it did have me open in the browser to verify the device).

I don't think CM10.2 is going to help. CM7 is the best for NC. I would wipe the internal CM10 you have on there and install CM7 to internal. Be sure to put the right gingerbread gapps on there too.

yes, thank you. I feel anything higher than CM7 just boggs the processor on these dated tablets. For a kids' tablet, it's just fine and will run most of their games/books and it remains snappy. CM10 just feels overloaded. It is sluggish and slow to respond. I'll try to get it moved back to CM7.
I've been trying to flash the other Nook, but after much effort, I have not been able to get it to boot into recovery.
I have the same card set-up, but I cannot get it to start with the card....constantly goes to the B&N root.

Sometimes it is difficult to get the NC to boot from an SD. See my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and read section A9.

Thanks Leapinlar,
Still running into issues. now on BOTH Nooks.
I was pretty sure I remember something about an updated B&N ROM that was signaled with a Green sticker on the box, which the troublesome boot one has.
I am using the generic_sdcard_v1.3.img + cm-7.2.0-encore.zip + gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip all being burned via Terminal on Mac.
The only thing that has changed since I was dabbling with these in the past was the CM release.
I am not able to find my original bookmark of the tutorial I used to use (2+ years ago) so I think there might be a flaw in the instructions I'm following now. (for instance, the instructions I'm following now, the dd= command isn't proceeded by 'sudo' and without the sudo command, it errors out when trying to write the generic SD image to the disc (says disc is not available or locked).
gonna keep trying, because I want to get these up and working for our trip...we have 36+ hours of driving over the course of a week, so I know they'll get bored of looking at sights, reading books, watching DVDs, etc. Mainly for my own sanity, since I'll be driving.
**EDIT* i found the original tutorial I used years ago in my trove of bookmarks. It was the original GlassKeys tutorial. gonna give that a shot and report back with my success/errors.
Well, one thing, if you are going to use that old original image file you need to rename the CM zip to begin with update-. That will not help with the booting issue, but will make it so that image will recognize the CM zip.
I have an updated image zip in my updated instructions for NC SD installs linked in my signature.

Thanks. should have mentioned that I did rename the file to "update"
got my old CM10 to boot into Linux penguin and it seemed to be doing it's thing, after formatting the SD card following the GlassKeys instructions, but it is now booting to CM10 still by default and if I hold the "n" key for the boot menu on Cyanoboot and try to boot from SD card (normal or recovery) it just stays on that screen until I power it down.
as for the second, untouched Nook, I did the GlassKeys instructions to the SD card for that and it loaded to Penguin and went through all the install procedures, but now it still boots to the B&N emm setup screen.
wish I had never taken the other to CM10. now I have two Nooks that aren't acting properly.
thing that bugs me is the first one was running fine, just market wouldn't recognize my sign-in...now both are jacked.:silly:
SUCCESS!!!
So thank you goes out to leapinlar!!!
I dropped what I had been doing on my system as far as the files I was burning and read over all your FAQ and tutorial.
I downloaded the files in your how-to and had the tricky OE ROM flashed in a jiff!
The second one is installing now on the peguin screen and JUST now loaded to the CM7.2 bootloader screen.
Still used the GlassKeys instrucitons on how to burn via Terminal on OS X, but used your files (generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8c.zip )
My original issue, I have found through all this, was that the Market wouldn't allow me to sign in...well that is an issue with the 2-step verification for my Google account I had activated (someone tried to hack my account, so I had it on). Once I turned it off, I was able to open the market and sign in.
Thanks again for your help leapinlar....check this one off!
Going to update both tonight with our boys' fav apps and games and get ready to hit the road first thing Sat morning! :laugh:
If you want something newer I found that cm10.0 was pretty fast on nook color. Better than cm7. Anything newer I also found was to slow and laggy 10.1+. If interested the last nightly cm10.0 rom and gapps are over in the development fourm.

Thanks! but pretty happy with CM7. any more seems to be a bit much for these processors. both are up, loaded full of games/books and ready for the road trip. :highfive:
