Excited as all outdoors because it was already rooted. Got home, sat down and went to put in my information, hmmmmmm, I got it from a black guy but there's a asian gmail account. :sirens: Maybe he purchased it from the guy just as I've done. I enter my account info and try to remove his, the apps need his so I cant delete him. Nothing a wipe won't fix right? Wrong. So after reading here a very small amount I realize I may need the original owner's B&N account info to resolve this.
Anyone care to chime in on this before I bother this guy for my money back?
Try to do a full wipe and return to original firmware. Then register an account for BN. Flash to cm7 afterwards. Hopefully it will work.

If you use another rom like cm7 you won't have to worry about it. They don't register anything with Barnes and noble.

If you are already at CM7 on the NC, then you will have to delete the old gmail and youtube accounts and sign-in to your own gmail and youtube accounts.
I just did a complete wipe of everything (SD card included) and his information disappeared. Thanks for the replies! Now to really dig into this.

How can I determine which method was used to root the Nook?

Try to do the 8 failed boots and you shouldn't have to worry about it...
8 failed = system recovery (will take it back to stock)
update to 1.2 if necessary
register with B&N if not going to CM7 (I do it anyway even using CM7)
Root or CM7
Now its how YOU want it... not some asian girl/guy/whatever.

If you are using CM7, the "CyanogenMod 7" logo appears when booted. There is no registration of the NC with CM7. CM7 is not rooting. It is firmware that replaces the B&N firmware.
A rooted NC will initially splash the "Read Forever tm" logo when booted. The older B&N firmware splashed "Touch the Future of Reading" logo, if I remember correctly. A rooted NC is the stock B&N firmware that has been altered to allow (root) access to the Android Market apps and still retain all the original B&N functions/features. A rooted NC does require registering the NC.
If the rooted NC is not registered to your B&N account, then:
1. Touch the "U" with the up-arrow icon, select Settings.
2. In Settings, select Device Info.
3. In Device Info, select Erase & Deregister Device.
4. Touch the Erase & Deregister Device button to start the process.
5. Follow any other instructions to complete the erase and deregister the NC process which may follow.
6. Reboot NC, it should return to stock setup, as when it was new.
7. Follow the instructions and register the device using your own B&N account.
8. Update NC to 1.2.
9. Root NC using ManualNooter 4.6.16. Instructions are here.
10. Enjoy!
I hope this helps.
Thanks for the info Bluepen.....I now have a new issue. Somehow, someway I've managed to be in a boot loop, the funny part is it's flashing between the CM7 splash and ClockworkMod Recovery. I've been searching since last evening to no avail, not one single instance matches this one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried the 8x boot thing, I can't tell if it's even shutting down. Also tried the three finger deal, may need to do more research on that one. I've also formatted my sdcard so basically I'm in route to stock which I don't mind if I can just get there.
Slowly but surely this thing will run like my Shift...!!!!! I got it, basically I'm registered with B&N and on the stock ROM, WHEWWWW!
I went to nookdevs.com ( http://mrm3.net/nook-color-recover-any-bricked-device/ ) along with the help perusing around here I was able to fix.
Cyanogen is up and running again.....

It is good that your NC is back running CM7!
Are you dual booting from/on emmc or booting from the micro sdHC memory card or have you applied CM7 to emmc overwriting theB&N firmware?
Sent from my NOOKcolor using XDA Premium App
I've overwritten the B&N firmware, so I guess out of those three options it would be the latter.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
Congrats. Now overclock the **** out of it =D and install the tegra 2 games.
Sooo....I try to to reboot and I get hung up in Recovery. The only way to reboot is to remove the SD card.
Anyone else experience this?

So amongst all my stupor I realize (after reading so much more) that I need to remove the SD card to boot back into cm7 or stock once I'm done in CWM. What a difference that makes. Smh.

Or format the uSD to remove CWM and make it usable to yourCM7 install.

Will that allow me to not have to remove it everytime and what are the chances of getting Nook Stock to boot once its formatted?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
The reason I ask that is because I've been stuck on the "N" screen several times to no avail.
OK newbie question how do I boot into recovery I totally forgot because the NC used to be mine but I upgraded to Acer a500 but my wife wants miui.us or what ever rom runs the nook app at correct resolutions
Any help with a setup of rom/version. And nook app version would also be appreciated!
Thanks
I did try holding power and n button but no luck it does boot into cwm on its own cuz its trying to update since she put it on the nook..
Current stock 1.2

Edit this URL help for some reason I thought I just had to hold power plus n button but I was wrong I would still like some help with which rom will play nook app well
The only problem I have seen so far with the Nook app is when trying to view magazine subscriptions. For books it works fine. Not really sure at this point whether that is a CM7 or Nook app issue. I just read in another post that someone is finally running a working Nook app on the latest Phiremod but I have not seen anyone else confirm that.
hey, so i just flashed my nook color with cm7 and gapps (i thought) and when it boots up, it boots up correctly. the problem is that it doesnt ask to set up a gmail acc and it doesnt have a few apps (e.g. Market). this is the gapps i installed: gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
thanks for any help
Are you hooked up to wifi? My market wouldn't show up until I was connected, then it magically appeared. Once I signed into the market, I think I had to download gmail.

Hey, I just got my kindle rooted, and got theCMW recovery running on it. Now I want to take the final step and flash MIUI on to it. When I plug the kindle in what directory is its SD card so I can copy miui into it? is the root of the SD card just the KINDLE directory? Am I blind?
Thank you
GABENOOB
EDIT: also do I need a new kernel or can I use stock kernel for miui
The sdcard is the dirctory that shows when you plug your device in the computer
(I prefer twrp , is quite simple to install)
heh I just grabbed the first recovery I saw, and since i had 6.2.2 I had to use the new burrito root. Thank you for your help

Problem is TWRP longer supported
either of you know if I need a new kernel to run miui or can I use stock kernel

No longer supported across the broad spectrum of devices or just the Fire?

Hello, I just rooted my Nook Color to CM10. I go to try and get apps from Google Play Store and it says you dont have any devices. Is there a way to change my device name and get to be supported?

Something is wrong with your setup then. Wipe everything and start over.

After wiping, đid you reinstall the ROM?
Sent with XDA Premium from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on SD
Got it working again. So I did some research and found you have to install the netflix 1.8.1 and not the latest vesion. DL 1.8.1 and it still didnt work. But when I did the complete wipe and install I got facebook to work but not netflix.
