i bet you installed via recovery, right? . have you tried another brower like dolphin browser mini not the stock one.
I have seen many people having issues while flashing by recovery while others does not so even if its fact of lucky or not or the way they do it, i personally think that fastboot is more reliable for a CLEAN install.
Cheers
Hi I managed to fix it by wiping Cache and davlik cache via recovery, btw I installed via fastboot

I think did something wrong. I followed this tutorial:
hmm I can't post the youtube link. If you go to google and type in How to Install CyanogenMod 7 on the Nook Color and click on the first link you'll find it.
When I got to the part where it says to format the data, I got an error message. Then when it said to install zip from sd card, I got an error saying can't mount sd card. So I went back to wipe data/factory reset and did that. After that I took the sd card out and did reboot system now. But now it won't go beyond the screen with the N on it. What do I do now? At this point I just want to put it back to it's original state. Please help. I'm afraid I broke it. And I'm sorry if I sound like a noob.
I tried installing the latest version of CM7 nightly. By using a different method and memory card. I followed the guide here:
[ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards.
I installed the image file on the memory card. Took it out then put it back in like it said to. But now my computer can't find the memory card. In other words the card won't show up on my computer anymore. What happened? I'm so disgusted right now
Deep breath. OK? Happens to us all.
I'd suggest you start from the beginning. Format your uSD using this in your computer and not your NC. Often errors start with a bad format.
I'm using CM7 7.0 as it seems the most stable for me. It's often best to used signed versions as those are reported to be the most stable. Get it here
Create a good bootable disk with that has CWM ( http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-...workmod-version-3-2-0-1-recovery-sd-card.html), WinImage is fluky so I'd suggest this copy your CM7 ROM to it (on your computer), boot doing either a factory reset or wipe cache and dalvik. You can wipe data is you want but will have to reinstall all your programs if you do.
Keep in mind that often the first boot up after ROM install might take a few minutes. You might have to even hard reboot. It happens.
Again, most problems start with a wonky formatted uSD and just multiply from there.
Thank you very much! I got it working. Now I just need to know a few more things. Where can I download the latest google apps pack and overclock kernal for my nook? And can I still access the barnes & noble bookstore? If so how?
Hey I noticed a problem. The flash player isn't working for,
the web browser anymore. Meaning YouTube and. Megavideo won't play. It was working fine before I rooted it. Is there anyway to restore it?

I went to the market and found adobe flash player 10.3. But there's no download button for it??
Okay I just downloaded the latest version of the android market. And now when I try to download adobe flash player 10.3, I get a message that says your device is not compatible with this item. So now what?
If you have CyanogenMod 7 take a look at their Site maybe someone else had the same problem and knows what to do.
They have a very good forum and i'm sure you will find a fix there.

Well when I go to YouTube and tap on a video, first it says loading video then I get a message saying Cannot play video sorry this video cannot be played. It's the same thing when I use the YouTube app. I have the latest version of adobe flash player installed because megavideo works.
Alright I tried uninstalling the YouTube apk and reinstalling it again. That didn't work. I tried doing the wipe data thing with titanium backup. That didn't work. I tried downloading the EVO HD YouTube app. That didn't even start up. I made sure that I was not signed in to YouTube. That didn't work. I'm about ready to give up.
Well guys I finally did it. I got YouTube working. I had to completely uninstall everything and install the latest cm encore nightly release. Everything seems to be working now.
Problem. N64oid doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before I did the new install. Now whenever I try to load a rom it freezes and I have to hard reset my nook color. Anyway to fix this?

I have just installed the most recent CyanogenMod 10 release (11/24/12 as of this writing) on my Nook Color. CM 10 itself works fine, but the most recent Google Apps package that I could find (10/11/12) won't install correctly. In clockwork recovery, I can install it and it says that it was installed fine, but when I actually boot into CM, there are no google apps.
I upgraded from CM 7 where there seemed to be a similar problem: You needed to install Google Apps with a specific version of CM and then upgrade to the newest version. Is something like that happening with CM 10? Is it something else? Is there a newer version of Google Apps that I missed?
All help is appreciated,

The version you have is right.
Sometimes the Google apps will not show unless you have logged into at least one of them. Look for talk or Gmail or play store or some other gapps and see if they show. If so, try to log in.

I have this same problem and I did a full wipe and cleared the Dalvic. I have been reading all day. I think the problem may be the recovery. I have TWRP 2.3.1.0. I read it is best to downgrade to TWRP 2.2 but I don't know how to remove 2.3.1.0 and downgrade to 2.2. OAN: Paranoid Android is quite a nice rom and I use goomanager to simplify my downloads. If someone can tell me how to replace twrp with the other I am willing to test my theory. Thanks in advance.

You can downgrade just by flashing the older version over the top of the newer one. If you can't find a 2.2 version to flash, you can get a 2.1 version here:

Well, you need to flash it with a recovery. And you said you tried TWRP 2.3.1.0. That should have worked. What do you mean, it was not having it? If it was failing to flash, maybe that was the problem you were having with that version. If that version is not working, you have no choice but to boot to a bootable recovery SD. I have CWM on a bootable SD on my tips threads linked in my signature. Go to item A10. You can use that to flash a different TWRP to your internal memory.
Sent from my Nook HD+ using Tapatalk
Thanks a million. No, TWRP 2.3.1.0 would not flash the older recovery. I willfollow your advice.
UPDATE: The problem seems to occur with some N7's if you did your initial upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3 by means of a flashable zip such as Scott's rooted stock 4.3.
The problem does not seem to occur if you took the update over the air, or if you flashed the official recovery image in full OR in part (as in just the system/boot images) using fastboot.
The solution is to flash the official update using flashboot. Post #20 has some info if you need help. Flash should work just as it did in 4.2 after you do this.
Adobe Flash should also work in future custom 4.3 ROMs you install down the road... whatever causes the issue gets fixed when you fastboot flash the image(s). I tested and confirmed this by flashing CleanROM (again) along with Adobe Flash - it worked after the fastboot image flashing, it didn't work before.
Cheers!
Original post below:
Firefox and Dolphin both crash on Flash content. I tried several different Adobe 11.1x Flash apks... no luck
Yes I know it's not *officially* supported, but it wasn't for 4.2 either but it worked great... is 4.3 now the end of the road for Flash, for real this time?
I might roll back to 4.22; I watch a lot of sports streams on this thing- unless there is another viable option (last time I tried Skyfire it was pretty lousy at handling video streams).
Edit: seems like this problem only occurs if you upgraded by flashing a custom ROM. Flashing the update via fastboot resolves it.

Version 11.1.115.11 always worked great for me on JB. Others had audio issues.
Not working on 4.3 and Naked Browser. Tried .47 (which worked fine before the upgrade) and the latest .69. Both crash on Rotten Tomatoes trailers. "Some" flash does work.

Which version of Flash are you running?

I tested just now the browser with a streaming video
evidently the videos I've seen are in html5 and it works
I tried the flash and in fact does not work with 4.3 !!
sorry for the confusion
had the same issue, dolphin and next browser crash on embedded flash.
was running flash 11.1.115.69
uninstalled it and installed 11.1.115.63 and flash works without an issue so far in dolphin
embedded YouTube loads fine, well minor lag loading, but plays fine.
tried it on rotten tomatoes trailers too and works fine too.
next browser still crashes on any flash.

No luck here with .63 and Dolphin
Maybe something is wrong with my N7
I'm using Firefox Beta v23 and Flash v1.1.115.63 and can view flash videos. In Firefox settings, I have plugins set to tap to play. With a video box up, I tap the 'Tap here to activate plugin', touch it again and the video loads and I can play it.

Perhaps you skipped over the last two posts confirming that flash still works on 4.3 with Firefox Beta.
Something is definitely afoot with certain N7s
Mine will not work. I'm no n00b either, I've been doing this stuff for a long time.
I've tried every single flash apk and every single browser that supports flash.
I tried flashing the 4.3 CleanRom and the unmolested 4.3 ROM from Scott. Same result.
I tried using faux123's kernel.
I'm back on 4.2 now, but i'm gonna try another full wipe and flash the factory image.
My N7 is an early build 16gb model fwiw.
Same here, but I did get flash working on uc browser, but I didn't like the browser so uninstalled. Waiting for developers to catch up... unless Google is going out of their way to make sure flash isn't supported. Makes no sense since 75% of content I look add is flash only.
"Swyped" on my Nexus 7 via XDA app
I'm on stock 4.3, fastboot installed after wipe.
tested flash 11.1.115.63 on pretty much all the flash enabled browsers and Dolphin 10.0.1 & Firefox 22 (23 beta) are the only ones that works.
Dolphin by far the most stable one, was able to play all flash from various sites.
the worst site for flash is YouTube. both will play, but Firefox crashes on full screen. Dolphin runs youtube fine on YouTube's site, but trying full screen on embedded YouTube is a toss up.
Success!
Wiping/reflashing via fastboot did the trick, Flash is back! I have no idea what the issue was, it must have been some sort of conflict but whatever it was is gone now.
Thanks for the feedback
Flash is working with Firefox Beta on 4.3 for me.

Mine is a brand new custom Rom and Kernel flash (using TWRP). I did all 3 wipes (data, Dalvik & system) and rebuilt from scratch. Still crashes on .63.

How did you upgrade to 4.3? Just by flashing a custom ROM (such as Scott's ROM)?
I'd recommend following these steps: http://anddisa.blogspot.de/2013/07/update-nexus-7-to-android-43-manually.html#gpluscomments
You'll need to have 1) fastboot & drivers setup on your computer (I recommend the universal naked driver) and you'll also need 2) that updated SuperSU file that is mentioned; google for it and put it on your /sdcard area of your N7.
Mine worked after doing that.
I was stock 4.3 rooted, unlocked, with TWRP installed running the LTE Enabler and a hybrid radio, I used a flashable .zip to upgrade to stock 4.4 the other day, all is well and I'm still Unlocked, and rooted, and still have LTE, but I wanted to try one of the newer .97 hybrid radios but when I reboot to TWRP and try to flash a new radio it fails everytime, I've re-downloaded, tried a different radio etc...
Says E: Unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip....
I tried changing over to Clockwork mod to try it there, but it won't install clockwork....I even used Wug's Tool kit to reinstall the stock bootloader, then load Clockwork, but it wouldn't work, so I had to put TWRP back on, which is does fine.
Anyone have any suggestions? Should I go back to 4.3 and try to sideloade 4.4 again through a different method?
Thanks,

bootloader has nothing to do with loading up anything 4.4 at this time first off. Secondly have you tried to simply open the zip file to make sure its not corrupt. Also have you tried to download other zips to make sure that it is not a problem with your browser or anything else. How much trouble shooting have you done with the file in general?

I had a similar problem with the browser issue on my desktop. When I installed the first factory image onto my phone it soft bricked it. I later discovered that Internet Explorer could not download the image onto my desktop computer without corrupting it. So I tried Firefox and upon examination of the downloaded file I could see it was a different size; installation then went smoothly.

I actually I have 3 browsers on my desktop. IE, Firefox and Chrome. I find that many times, depending on the page I am going, one browser out of the three will not work properly for various reasons, so I have to try one of the other two. My first web browser was Mosaic, then Netscape, etc., etc.
