Please don't flame me for not searching, but I'm at work now and didn't have time to perform an extended search for my problems.
Ill start by stating I am a new nook color user. Grabbed it this morning after doing a lot of research for the best tablet/e-reader. Ill begin with some of the specs.
Initially was 1.2.0
Performed the rooting with a class 4 8gb SD card.
Flashed the SD card with the recovery system.
Downloaded and moved Google apps, CDM, as well as stock rom in case I failed.
So I read through many different tutorials as well as watched countless videos on rooting and flashing CDM to the NC.
After downloading and getting recovery to show up I performed the formatin steps that followed. However when I tried to format data, it came up as failed this threw up a warning sign so I looked up the error problem. I read I needed to repartition my NC since Barnes and noble's changed it in after may?
Well here's the situation. I tried to flash it back to 1.2 and came up with yet another data error. I then tried the 8-boot format which also did not work. Now comes the strange part. After rebooting my NC enough times It suddenly loaded android 2.3. After android popped up I tried to install Google apps which included market and that failed.
So right now I am stuck with a flashless, and marketless NC. The last time I touched android was on my ATT tilt.
Can anyone explain what I did wrong?
I've rooted and flashed about a dozen Androids that I've owned just in the last year, so please understand that I'm not a complete newbie.
Having said that, I'm working on a US Verizon Xoom, and EOS Stingray ROM dated 2012-08-08 worked pretty well but I decided to try some other with more settings to tweak.
I tried one which I can't remember, random crashes so I ditched it.
Tried CM10, and got this strange problem.
BAKED Black Bean ASOP, same strange problem.
Here's the problem I had with CM10 and AOSP:
Wiped/factory reset.
Wiped cache and Dalvik.
Installed ROM/gapps.
Fixed permissions.
On booting, I went through setup and when I entered the email & password, it said the Accounts had crashed, and a new one popped up. Whether I back out here or continue to try to enter the same one again, i get the same result. The user does get created before it prompts me for a new one. Play Store gives a server error. Sync settings reports a sync error. Nothing will sync or restore.
This is frustrating because it's actually a family member's tablet and they use it daily.
Please let me know if you've had a similar experience or know how to fix this. Thank you.
I don't even know what I did, but my phone is basically useless now. I tried to install the PAC ROM over the summer but I got stuck ina boot loop and had to emergency reset flash back to what I thought was stock firmware using RSD Lite. I don't know if it was actually stock because when I booted up my phone, everything seemed to be in order; but then I found that the play store was not working. Whenever I opened the play store, I got the message "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." I tried a bunch of methods from here from people who had similar problems, but nothing worked so I decided it must have been the firmware that I used. So then I went and took a 4.04 firmware from the same place I got the first one and went to flash it. The flash on RSD Lite did not work. I tried a bunch of different firmwares and none of them seemed to work. And now, my phone has gotten even worse. Recently, I got a message saying that my storage space was getting low, when I could see in my settings app that it wasn't. And then, this morning, I got a message saying that storage space is too low, you will not be able to receive messages. Then about fifteen minutes later my wireless service dropped and I can't get any service now. I don't think that it is a carrier problem because I have been in the same place as I was yesterday and I was getting full 4G bars the whole time. Anybody know what I can do? I am unrooted an my bootloader is unlocked.
Have you tried Matt's utility? Option 1 I believe found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249773

indeed, mikes utility should get you back up and fully functional
Also, factory reset will help. Sounds like lots of stuff is messed up...

Not sure if I'm the only one, and if I am that really sucks, but I got tired of waiting for the OTA and decided to install the update via the fastboot method, unlocked my bootloader installed without a problem.
However the issue now seems to stem from transferring media files to my tablet, which I never had a problem doing, a pop up window will tell me that android.media.storage has stopped, giving me an option to report and to simply tap okay.
Not sure reporting ever does anything, and if it does I've never seen it change a single thing at all, but after I tap okay or send the report, any files transferring will just exit out, then if I unplug my usb and plug it back in, it doesn't seem to recognize the tablet at all.
I've so far remedied this, not sure if it's a permanent fix or temporary, by going into settings>apps>all, then from there tapping the app, clearing data and cache, restarting my tablet with a hard reset and it seems to be working for the moment.
However transferring files since the update are sluggish at best, and taking a 356MB folder of images used to take maybe a few minutes, 5 or 7 at the most, now it's hanging there at times with the transfer time increasing.
As a matter of fact I'm transferring said 356MB folder right now and it's stuck at 10 minutes to finish and hasn't moved for about 10 minutes.
If anybody else is having these problems, can you suggest ways you've fixed it? Or do I simply need to either do a factory reset or straight up flash it again to fix the problem?
Also, I made another article detailing my problems with updating, which I've since fixed obviously, but Recovery Mode isn't anywhere to be found, I do the regular method and before it showed the android with the red triangle and below him it would say no command, now it just shows the android with the same triangle with no wording underneath at all.
I've also re-downloaded the official factory image 4.4 from google's developer site and tried to manually flash recovery onto it, and it says that it succeeded but then when it goes back to fastboot and I choose recovery it loads then shows me the android with the red triangle.
I've even tried downgrading back to 4.3 but it tells me during the rewrite of the bootloader that there's a signature mismatch.
In addition, this should be the last revision to my issue, I've even tried re-flashing 4.4 and now that's kicking back an error saying there's a signature mismatch, so I can't go into recovery, I can't downgrade, I can't flash a recovery image to my tablet, I think I screwed up in ever updating to 4.4.
Im having the same problem with Media Storage when transferring pictures via Android File Transfer on Mac, tried it on Windows also, same problem.
It happens with my Nexus 4 on KitKat also!!
I still havent found a way to fix it, did you (OP) ever find a fix?
Cheers

Nope no fix yet, I haven't tried transferring a large number of files since, oddly enough, I finally did get the OTA update and it installed 4.4 again.
It didn't take long and the file size was puny, only about 32MB, I assume it installed what was missing, but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary since the official updated kicked in.
Yeah I have the latest OTA also, but I am still having the same issue!!

Not really sure why it's different for you, like I said I got tired of waiting for the OTA and manually flashed the factory image, that's when the problems started, but after a few days I got a notification that the new update was ready which really confused me.
But I installed the downloaded update without a hitch, booted like normal and I just finished transferring a 100MB folder of images to my N7 without an error popping up on my tablet saying something crashed, so I can only assume for the moment until I transfer a larger folder, that the DL'd update fixed the problem.
I've also heard people flashing it again, or side loading it, or even a factory reset would fix the problem, but there weren't many replies as to this actually fixing the data transfer problem.

Take anything I say with a grain of salt as I'm not the greatest guy to ask for help, I only really ask questions here and I'm just going to suggest what to do, if you do it is up to you and I take no responsibility for your device having further issues.
1. Hard reset your device and upon it rebooting, check for the update again and try downloading it again
2. If that doesn't work then back up your data
3. After backing up your data do a factory reset on your device and once you've booted back up to Android, check for the update again and install
4. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else to suggest, this is what I would do to try and fix the problem, but for my situation it was unique in that I tried fixing it various ways that seemed to make it worse before it got somehow better.
I hope issuing a factory reset works for you, if not then that hard reset does when you try to redownload the update.

Thanks for your reply back. Yep i also thought of the same 4 step solution as yourself but i also heard from 2 people that had the same thing happen to them and they thought it could be a goggle server problem, So i am going to wait to see if it sorts itself out over the next few days

That could be too, just thought I'd take a shot, hope it works out for you.:good:
I recently had some issues with my GPS so I used Odin to go back to stock firmware, everything was still ok after this and my GPS was back to working order. Then I used CF auto root to root my device again/use TWRP recovery. Then I flashed the latest PAC nightly and gapps with seemingly no problems. The phone worked fine for 2-3 days until one day when it was in my pocket I got a warning saying something along the likes of "SIM card has been removed. Reboot required." Rebooting would make the sim come back online momentarily until it would randomly come back up. There didn't seem to be any correlation with any new apps I had installed or things I did on my phone to cause this error. I thought perhaps it was the ROM so I tried reflashing (complete with factory wipe) and the problem still happened. I also tried wiping factory->system->cache&dalvik before reflashing..again it worked but only briefly. I tried going back to stock but it still happens. Right now I'm running task650s aokp and it still comes up..the sim works in other phones no problem. Any ideas on what might be going on/how to fix this issue?
