I have a TouchNooter'd Nook (first generation ST Nook) that I want to give to my nephew.
The GMAIL App / Google Play Store / Nook Account ... all work fine.
BUT I want to remove them (or change them to a dummy account) before I give it to him.
I cannot find a way to do that. Please help!!!

I setup a new SD card using my account information, but need to remove my
gmail and insert the owners. I created a new account for the owner, and
really don't care about apps I may have used from market. I'll just re-install
them.
Where / how can I change the 'main' account Google is using to ID this NC?
So I recently bought a refurbished NC, should be arriving any day now.
I have read a bit about registering the nook (which I assume links it with your b&n account) and about signing in with google to get market, gmail, etc. (i'll probably run cm7).
My question is: I have a barnes and noble acct already with a couple books on it, let's call it "abcd+bn AT gmail"
I have an android/gmail acct I would like to use so I can share purchased apps and whatnot, which is "abcd AT gmail"
Google treats them as the same account, but I saw something about how they should be matched on the nook, so I guess I'm wondering which e-mails I should use to sign in where, or if it is possible to have both of these working at the same time.
If not, re-registering "abcd AT gmail" on b&n will probably be the preferable option because I only have a couple books and stripped DRM so I can transfer them over easily, they just won't appear in my actual Nook Library TM or whatever.
Thanks for the help.
If you use CM7, there is no need to register for a BN account. CM7 does not incorporate the BN Registration.
When you first get your NC, go through the start up process and sign into your existing B&N account with the same name and password that you would use if you were on their website. This will get you registered in the event you have a warranty problem later. After that, if you decide to root the stock ROM or install a custom ROM such as CM7 for market access you will use your regular Android account. At that point, if you install the B&N Nook reader app from the Android market you just sign in to your B&N account normally when you launch the app. Your B&N account and your Android account are completely separate.
Makes total sense, thanks
Looking forward to it!
From time to time I'll root a Nook Color for a friend (CM7). Right now I've got a NC to root as a surprise gift for a person who already has a Gmail account he'll want to use with it (I don't have his password).
Question -- Suppose I use an "extra" Gmail account of mine to access Market and install apps on the NC, then send the NC to his wife, who gives it to him. Can he then add his own Gmail account, delete mine and then use it normally or would the apps and setup I do be erased?
I tried this on my own NC just now. I added a second Gmail account and set up that account to sync. Then I tried to delete my original account. The error message said my original Gmail account couldn't be deleted because there were apps tied to it so I'd have to reset the whole devise to get rid of it. I assume that would undo much of the work I want done before I send the Nook off.
I believe, but don't KNOW, that I can't delete my original Gmail account because there are PAID apps tied to it. If that's the problem I'll be OK because I can set up the gift NC with only free apps. Does anybody have any good answers to this? I don't want to send a noob a Nook and then find out he couldn't easily use it because of Gmail issues.
I needed to change the Google account in my NSTG but couldn't find an obvious way to do it from the existing apps or tools in my rooted device. Removing accounts.db from /data and rebooting seemed to do the trick - I was then able to add a new Google account by using the Market app. Mail, calendar, etc. sync, Google Talk works and installed apps can be updated via Market. I don't know what effect this has on the B&N account and on-line library as I don't use their services but at least the stock reader app and library continue to work OK.
You might have been able to do it through the Gmail app's settings.
Thanks. At least in the Gmail app that I have there's only an option to add an account. Maybe it would allow me to delete the old account after adding a new account but I'm not going to test that now that everything is working perfectly. If someone could confirm that - whether one Google account can be deleted if there are multiple accounts present - I'd appreciate it.
Hi Guys
I got a Fire HD 10 (9th Gen) running the latest Fire OS 7.3.x Tablet for my daughter homeschooling and I would like to control the access to apps and activity via Google account instead of Amazon's.
I am able to install Google Account Manager, Google Framework Services, Google Play Service and Google Play Store. Now when I launch Google Play Store it asks me to log in, I used my daughter's account and it moves forward to ask for Parent to help set up the device, I then used my login as a parent and at this stage, Google Account ask for some activity monitoring etc and then get busy checking for updates. Within a minute it fails to state 'Something went wrong and I have to restart the whole process again.
Edit: If I just use my (adult) account to log in, everything works fine and I am able to setup the tablet. The problem is I do not want to login with mine but my daughter's.
Is there any fix for this?
exact same problem, a few days ago. With a Fire HD 8. I also need to set it up for a child!
Hey, did either of you by chance find a solution? I just ran into this same problem. Google Play Store lets me sign in with my account, but I'm trying to setup my kid's account on this Fire Tablet. Any advice? Thanks!!
Same. My daughter's Fire 10 HD (Fire OS 7.3.2.2) throws the ever-so-informative "Something went wrong" with her account.
I had this same issue. Once I switched it to signing in with my own Google account, it worked fine. Must be an issue with child Google accounts.
Hello, has anyone found the solution. I don't understand why it hangs. Is there a file to delete, permission to check? Thank you for your answers.
