Hi everyone. I auto rooted my Nook Color yesterday (version 1.0.1). It generally works -- YouTube plays videos and I can access my Gmail account. However, when I go to Market and try to download an app, it says "Starting Download" but never begins or completes the process.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Did you ever find a solution for this?
I'm having the same problem -- in Market, downloads start but then nothing happens. Thanks.
I'm guessing the market has some problems today. Downloads on my Evo are crawling as well.
Same thing happen to me when I first used auto nooter on my nook a few days ago. Powering off the nook (hold power button down till it ask "do you want to power off completely") and rebooting solved the problem for me.
edit:
(i had to cancel the download and restart it also)
I also had this issue after using Autonooter, however the issue was a port on my corporate firewall being blocked. as soon as i jumped on my home wifi connection everything started downloading. I believe the port is mentioned in the autonooter thread somewhere.
I had the same issue, and a hard reboot seemed to do the trick.
I just rooted my NC using the Auto-nooter method, and also had the same issue with the Market, where apps would say "Starting download" but never finish. Reboot did not fix it for me.
I read in one of the threads that the device has to be first set up with a Gmail account. On my first sign-in, I used my YouTube login id. Even though my YT login is linked to my Gmail account, it seems that is not sufficient for the Market to work.
I couldn't find a way to undo/redo the account setup, so I bit the bullet and reset everything back to factory default, then re-rooted. This time I made sure to use my Gmail ID/password when first starting YT. Everything is working fine now, including Market.
Hope this helps.

I'm using Modaco's Desire ROM, but I doubt it's a ROM issue given that the problem only started recently (and never occurred in previous alpha builds) and that, from a quick google search, this seems to happen on a range of Android phones, stock ROMs and otherwise. I think the problem started when I added a second gmail account to the phone temporarily because I needed to check my other mailbox. Removed that account since, though.
I tried doing the fix_permissions method. No luck. Rebooted the phone, no luck. I suppose I'll have the phone anyway when Paul releases the next alpha and hopefully that will fix it, but before that point, does anyone have any idea how do I deal with this? Not being able to use the market is bugging me.

Have you tried manually signing into G-Talk?
Yep. Stuck at "Signing in..." perpetually, so no go there either, alas.

About half the time I dl from market the dl doesn't start. I restart the phone and its fixed. Sometimes I hold power and when menu comes up, the dl starts. But yeah I'm not rooted and it happens constantly on WiFi , 3g, e , g networks.
That didn't do the trick either, sadly. Guess I'll just wipe when alpha 13 comes out.
I bought the nook for my daughter, during initial setup I rooted it from 1.0 to 1.01 and used my gmail to setup it up. Now she wants her gmail so I unsubscribed the device which wiped the owner info and did the 8 times reboot (unroot?) thingy and it boots using the "normal" boot screen but in extras there are still the root tools.
When I try to go to market and use either my or her gmail I get a message "problem with connecdtion" or something like that but it will sign into the BN account I setup for her.
So how can I fix this?

This is perhaps just your network issue, pal. I've done this root-restore job 15+ times in the past 2 weeks and never had such a problem when I did the software/hardware reset.
So maybe you can try connect your network again , or do the reset again I guess?
I've done the reset about 4 times now and I have tried it on multiple networks...
I had same problem with my wife's account, but not mine. This was on a different device. I've got the NC back to stock and will be returning tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it working.
I used AutoNooter 3.0 on my gf's NookColor, and everything went great, but I set up all the logins under my accounts since she was gone. When she got back, I deregistered my account so I could set up her account. I accidentally left the SD card in, so I'm not sure if that's where my troubles came from. Now, youtube won't open, Gmail won't refresh, and the market is not downloading apps.
It looks like I could use ADB to get these fixed, but I can't for the life of me get ADB working even after following the exact steps. I've tried reflashing, but it's still remembering the wifi password and behaving the same way.
Do I have to do that 8 times reboot step, or is there something else I can do since it seems rooted to me except for the google apps?
Got it running. For anyone having this same issue in the future, here's what I did:
Erased and Deregistered
Reburned the .img onto the SD card
Reflashed
It was actually pretty simple. Now I just need to get to 10 posts so I can post in the development thread in the future.
The following has happened with both autonootered 1.1 and stock 1.2. I am running CM7.0.2 from an sd card also. Using a dual boot (manual button(s)) press.
For the second time, I have gone to a local B&N, gotten my Cafe Vanilla Frappicino, found a comfortable seat, booted up into the BN software, chose "Read In Store" for "Discovery of Witches" watched the book d/l and then immediately get the message that I have exceeded the time allotment for that day and to try again the next day!
This happened (with this title) under AN3.0/BN1.1 and again today with stock 1.2. My e-mail in/out worked fine when store connected as did all othere store related items. This tells me the connection was not the issue.
I found the knowledgeable rep in the store who I had discussed things with before and we tried to get it ("Discovery...") to re-load (unsuccessfully), rebooted several times and even rebootted with the sd card removed. That last time the title did reload but still came up with the "expired time" message. We picked another title at random and that had no problems!
The rep called the Corporate IT, explained the issue, gave them my unit's s/n and verified that there were no server related issues at that time.
I verified with him that there were no B&N "roadblocks" in place that prevent you from on-going reading of the same title which he stated there was not based on his own usage/experience. Example, The second time I opened that title in the store, it took me directly to where I had previously left off!
One of the reasons I haven't redone my internal memory to CM7+ is that I want to retain the in-store reading capability but this is really becoming a major annoyance.
I have two other local BN's where I will try and access this specific title early this week to see if history continues to repeat itself.
Any ideas/thoughts as to what the root cause is and any possible solutions???
I recommend just doing a Factory Reset.
Follow Steps 1-Method 1 and 2-Method 1

You have to do both steps!
I had to do this in order to install 1.2 even though I've never Rooted my Nook(Running CM7 from SD)

Hello! i have an experia z (obviously) and a long while ago i changed my password on my google account. A few days ago, i was doing something (i dont remember what) and it said that it cannot access my google account. so i went into settings and removed the account and tried to relog in. but now all im getting is a screen saying it cannot get a stable connection to the server and asks me to use wifi for more stability. Sadly, i was already using wifi so i still went through the guided setup to select my wifi and try again. still didnt work. so i turned off wifi and used my 4g and it still wouldn't let me log in. So now im trying to troubleshoot ways to log in because i have none of my contacts and stuff like that.
it still lets me log into the account in the browser window and in the gmail app and in the email account setting in account. just not in the guided setup for making it the primary account. (i tried to add it as email and sync to think "just maybe it will work" but it only syncs emails :X)
my device is rooted and using stock rom
Here are things I've tried to do (some are from suggestions online that aparently helped others):
Reboot phone
remove data/cache from google play store
uninstall updates for google play
unchecking auto time
checking auto time
making sure time is right
checked for software updates
restarted phone, took sims card out and tried logging in
tried to log in through youtube app (which goes through the says black screened log in guide)
turned on airplane mode, turned off phone, turned it back on, then tried wifi and data again.
and i think that is all i have tried. But it tried alot of things so im not sure. Once again. i can log into the account on my phone in other places just not in this black windowed log in guide and yes im typing in the right password and username... i can add pictures if needed.
Bump also tried factory reset and going to website and did the trouble shooting guide. Still nothing
Bump threw phone at wall and drowned it in tub. Still not doing it
Also I called customer service. And like I assumed, all he did was tell me to reset cache and data and restart device. Then asked if I could try to factory reset and then couldn't find any other solutions. So im stuck
