Can't install gapps 20130813 - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've looked all over but am unable to find an answer to this.
I hadn't used my Nook Color in a while mainly because I was having a recovery bootloop and hadn't had time to research what was going on and correct it. I finally had some time last night and fixed that using leapinlar's excellent thread installing CWM 5.5.0.4 to my sdcard and installing CWM 6.1.0.2 to the alt partition on EMMC.
I decided to update to the latest stable CM, which looks to be 10.2. I downloaded the rom from that thread and the gapps 20130813 package in that thread. I have no issues installing the rom but the gapps package will not install. Every time it gives me the message:
E:Can't open /sdcard/roms/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I thought maybe the download was bad and tried the PA gapps package for 4.3 but that did the exact same thing. To make sure I covered every single thing, I did the partition repair steps linked from leapinlar's thread. That ran fine. I was able to reinstall the rom but no dice on the gapps.
Anybody got any ideas on what's going wrong?
Thanks,

Usually that message does mean a bad download. Definitely redownload.

I forgot to add that I did redownload a few times as well as trying other gapps packages for 4.3 with the same result. It does strike me though that I don't believe I checked the md5 so I'll try that.

Be sure to download directly from the Nook. Sometimes files get corrupted in the transfer from PC.

It appears there's an issue with downloading files directly on the Nook. I noticed every file I've downloaded through it was 0 b. All of them showed successful downloading and didn't have suspect download times so I'm not sure what happened.

No Super User...Su binary?

Just followed instructions for CM7 on eemc with nightly 106 and OC kernel.
Rom Manager says no superuser? So I installed from market and superuser says there's updated binary but can't complete auto install. But it put a .zip on sd card and said to instal via recovery... which puts me back to step 1 which was trying to use ROM manager to write recovery?
What went wrong here and how to fix? Didn't have any of these problems when I did my son's nc the same way last week.

Don't know how to install cwm w/o rom manager. Put my card back to cwm img and tried to flash the updated binary.... says bad?
Guess there's something broke with 106 and su.
Started afresh with cm 102 (as recommended), gapps, and Oc kernel. All is well...

Had the same problem here. I'm away from my Nook right now, but I fixed it by downloading Superuser from the Extras menu in RomManager, then rebooting to recovery via the normal shutdown screen and applying it manually. The zip is in the clockwork folder, in the goo-inside.me folder. Just select it from "*choose zip" menu and reboot.
I may have the details slightly wrong.
Superuser definitely got left out of #106.
Aloha,
cap
Thanks. I had to do the same to get su.
Wondering why is left out of 106.
I am having the same problem... except every time I try to download the new SU binary it says that there was an error and that I should boot into recovery blahblahblah, but when I do it says that there was an error installing the .zip file. What else can I do?

I'm still on 102 no prob. They discuss this issue on the cm thread. Try doing it from rom manager.
Download Rom, extras, superuser...
Then instal from cwm under clockwork/downloads/...and some sub directory.

What do you mean you went into recovery and tried to flash another copy? The SD recovery does not flash things. It is just copied to the SD and the script installs it so there is no md5 check. You have me confused.

Need help updating nightly

S3 I9300
Pacman rom's. Nightly
Latest CWM touch
Problem I'm having is every time I try to flash the nightly update, it says update complete then when I reboot the phone goes into a bootloop and have to restore from backup.
Using CWM I have tried installing zip from SD card as well as from the external SD card.
I have wiped cache & dalvik cache after install and even tried wiping before and after zip install. Still get the bootloop.
Even tried installing using Rom Manager and get the same bootloop.
Do I need to change the file name or something? I'm kinda stuck. Any help would be great.
Thanks guys
I don't have a PC so can't flash with that.

I'm sure about your phone, but with mine, I just waited a couple of nights for a new nightly. I'm on nightly from 11/9/13 and its been working OK. With it being a nightly, there's always gonna be problems. So I wouldn't worry so much about that, and just wait for the official. but then again, I'm no expert.

[Q] Can't flash recovery zip

Hi,
I'm at my wits end. I had SlimRom installed for a week and all was fine, but I was curious about what new ROMs were out there so I backed up my phone using ROM Manager and did all the usual stuff to get a new ROM. I installed Gummy, but didn't like it; I installed one other ROM that I can't remember its name, but also didn't like that. I realized my comfy home of SlimRom was where I wanted to be, so I tried to flash the backup.zip that I had created but it kept saying installation aborted (Status 0).
After hours of countless attempts and just weird behaviour (sometimes boot loops, sometimes not booting into recovery, etc.) I finally got my phone back to stock.
I downloaded the latest SlimRom file 3 times to make sure it wasn't a corrupt zip (twice from my PC and once from my phone directly). Both the zip directly from Slim as well as the backup.zip that I made with ROM Manager give me the same installation aborted. The other error it gives is "E: Error in /data/media/0/slim....zip". I'm wondering if somehow my partition is screwed up. I tried using Odin's repartition, which just erased my recovery partition, but I got that back thankfully! When I wipe data/factory reset it says wipe complete (and the ROM does reset to factory) but it also says "E:unknown volume '/sdcard/.android_secure' "...I'm wondering if that relates to why the backup.zip file won't read properly. Maybe the partition got screwed up somehow?
I can flash a SU zip so it's not a flashing problem, per se. And thankfully Odin always works!
I think I may need the stock PIT file for the Telus S4 l337m, which I found but my phone says "secure check fail: pit"
I'm not sure where to go from here...
Rom manager is your problem. That software I'd waaaaay out of date and rarely ever works on newer phones.
Get you goo manager. Allow SU. Then hit the menu button and then hit install openrecoveryscript. You will get TWRP recovery. Then you follow the OP of your ROM of choice to install.

Thanks for the suggestion. I used Goo but it was no help. I can flash other ROMs fine. It seems to be just SlimBean that I can't flash :s. I've used TWRP recovery as well as CW and neither work.
Any other ideas?
This is a pickle I am completely unsure about, then... I am sorry I can't be of more assistance. It does seem like the partition is borked.

[Q] Updating CWM when ROM Manager says unsupported device.

I'll start by apologizing if this has been covered elsewhere. I looked but couldn't find it. I am definitely a noob, but trying to learn.
I bought a Nook Color already rooted a few years ago. Under "About Phone", it does say Model number is NookColor, it is Android version 2.3.7, and the Mod version is CM-7.1.0-encore. (kernel version 2.6..32.9 if it matters)
It already had ROM Manager on it, and when I boot into recovery, it has CWM 3.2.0.1. When I try to update CWM with Rom Manager, it tells me that I have an unsupported device. When I click Device not listed above, it pops up with "NookColor does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"
I assumed somebody must have so I hit "yes", and it asked me to confirm the version. I clicked on ClockworkMod 3.x+. It tells me after that Rom Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation. I hit "ok", and under Recovery Setup, it tells me Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.x.x.x I did reboot into recovery, and it still comes up as version 3.2.0.1
My question is, is there a way to download the most current version of CWM to my sd card and install it from CWM? If so, does anyone know where I could find the download?
My goal is to update to CM11, and the instructions I have tell me I need the latest version of CWM.
First off, get rid of ROM Manager, it does nothing but screw up Nook Colors. You can get a new enough version of CWM at this post:

Thank you for the reply. Yeah, I kind of figured I needed to get rid of that. I had already downloaded cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore, and gapps-kk-20140606-signed in order to do this. I had a hard time getting those gapps for some reason, I hope they are the right ones. I looked that that thread. I must be blind. I can't see where I would get the latest CWM. I also don't know what to do with it when I do find it.

I found this in that thread. cwm-6.0.4.7-encore-signed Is that the right one? It says it's EMMC recovery. Can it be put on the sd card and installed through existing CWM?
I found this patched one: cwm-6.0.4.7-Jan31-encore-signed
Yes it can be put on sd and flashed to emmc with your existing cwm.

Install zip from sd. After you flash go to advanced and reboot to recovery so you are in the new recovery and then flash the rom and gapps zips and do a factory rest.

I flashed the rom and the gapps, and it looked like it was doing it, but as it was saying uninstaling old apks and installing new ones etc, it was taking a while. I left the room to find it rebooting back in to CM7. Should I go back in and reflash again and stay put this time?

It might have been a corrupted download. Also what version of CWM did you end up installing? Are you sure it took? In other words did you see the new version number when you rebooted?

Sorry it took so long to answer. I'm on the east coast, I was sleeping when you sent your last message. It says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7 at the top. I don't know if the word "based" means anything.
I had checked the MD5 Checksum with a utility I found for the CM-11 nightlies I found off of Download.CyanogenMod.org, and they matched.
I thought that maybe that the Nook was having trouble with my external card so I put the rom and the gapps on the internal card and tried it, and it still gives me the errors.
This is what I have been doing, and this is according to instructions I found in another thread:
1. I wipe data. on the nook screen it says:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:unknown vulume for path [/sd-ext.]
formatting /storage/sdcard0/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
I then wipe cache partition:
--Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete
I then wipe Dalvik cache under advanced:
It says Dalvik Cached wiped.
then I go to choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 and pick cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore.zip (also tried with 20150607) that's where I get:
--Installing : /storage/sdcard1/cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
Finding update package...
Installing update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in /storage/sdcard1 and pick cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted
Then it shows the Android guy keeled over. I then do a restore and he pops back up. on the screen it says:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
I boot back into system, and it loads CM-7 as if it was it's first day. It wants me to sign in to Google account etc.
I thought that when you do all those wipes, that at least the internal card wasn't supposed to have much left on it. It appears like mine has everything that it always had, not that I kept much in there. It does show files for ADW Launcher. Unless maybe they were restored through Google when I signed in.
Sorry this post is so long, but if you are helping me, I wanted to be detailed.
Everything is as it should be except for that error 0 and your backup md5 mismatch.
Just some things to point out. A factory reset wipes data and cache. So no need to wipe cache and dalvik cache, those are both wiped with the factory reset. And a factory reset does not wipe system, that is usually done by the new rom installer. Since that failed, system was not wiped and still had cm 7 still on it, but not set up since you wiped data.
And a data wipe does not wipe your files on the internal sdcard, which is why you still had some files from your prior installation.
And you need a newer CWM, version 6.0.4.8, for roms after 5/16/14:

Yes, it certainly would have made it easier. That newer cwm allowed me to install the rom and gapps.
The only problem I am seeing now is that I don't see the Play Store icon. I see Play Books, Play Games, Play Movies & TV, Play Music, and Play Newsstand, but no Play Store. I am going to assume that I didn't have the correct gapps.
If that is the case, do you know where I can find them, and would I just flash it, and do I need to wipe anything afterwards?
Incidentally, even after flashing this rom I still have files left from things that I had installed before that I don't want. Are those just to be deleted manually?

Yes you must manually delete any sdcard files you don't want.
And I have a version of gapps for KitKat here:

If flashing that does not fix it, go to cwm and format /system, reflash the rom and new gapps zips.

Are you sure that's the right gapps? I have 4.4.4 now and that file says 4.4.2 You're the expert, but I just want to double check.
By the way....how is a person supposed to know what the right gapps file is for the rom used? I know that roms are device specific, but I don't know about gapps. I put CM-11 on my wife's Kindle Fire. Can I use the gapps file that I used for hers?
By the way, if I don't like CM-11, can I put CM-10, or CM-12 on my Nook using the same CMW that I now have? It seems like this is a little slow, and for some reason the lock screen is always in landscape mode.

I was able to answer my own question. I actually did the wipes, and reinstalled the rom (just in case), and I flashed the gapps that I used on my wife's Kindle. Now I know that gapps are are not specific to the device. I don't know why there are so many different versions of gapps for a rom though. I also don't know how you are supposed to know which is the best to use. It seems like it's always buried in a thread somewhere, but where do you go to find the information out otherwise? Also, it seems like if you are going to flash a rom, you have to have the correct version of cwm, and that the most recent updated one isn't always best. How are you supposed to know which version for which rom? Also, do you know if they have stopped making nightlies for cm-11? The last one was on 6/14, and it seems a little buggy. If they do make one, and I want to flash it, do I just flash it, or would I have to do the wipes again and would that make me have to reinstall all my apps? As you can tell, I am trying to learn all about this.

As an end user, you do not really want to use nightlies, they are usually buggy and experimental. You want to use the latest snapshot which for the most part have their bugs worked out. Usually you can flash new nightlies over older nightlies without wiping. But if you go backwards, like from a newer nightly to an older one or an older snapshot, you should wipe. You can try it without wiping, but if you experience problems, go back and wipe, no need to reflash.

Do you have any idea why that might be? I put the rom in my external sd card and installed from there. That's what I should have done correct? Is there another build that I should have put on here instead? I also noticed, that even after doing all the wipes, and installing new roms, I still had files from before I started all of this. Did it not wipe correctly?

As an end user, you do not really want to use nightlies, they are usually buggy and experimental. You want to use the latest snapshot which for the most part have their bugs worked out. Usually you can flash new nightlies over older nightlies without wiping. But if you go backwards, like from a newer nightly to an older one or an older snapshot, you should wipe. You can try it without wiping, but if you experience problems, go back and wipe, no need to reflash.

Well, I am having some issues with this rom. For example, the wifi isn't as strong as it used to be, and some apps don't want to connect. When I reboot, app folders that I put on the desktop end up missing as well as some icons and I have to put them on again. I did go in to cwm and wiped the caches, but that didn't help, not to mention the continued landscape mode with the lockscreen. Any ideas? What rom do you think is best?

I never liked cm11. I liked cm10.1.3 the best. It is very stable and everything works. If you go to that you must downgrade your cwm. I have versions on my NC tips thread linked in my signature.
