Picked up my NC 1.0.1 today. Rooted without issue. After having a Google Talk conversation, I lost access to Marketplace, and all Google Apps? Can't log back in?
Anyone else having similar issues?
P.S. My wallpaper was changed as well ?!?!?!?!?!
p.p.s. My browsing history and favorites are gone too? Please tell me an update or something was just pushed out. I feel like I just wasted a few hours of my life here.
My rooted 1.0.1 nook has problems as well. Gets authorization error and resets data. After restoring through the clockwork recovery, had it up just for 5 minutes before it automatically reset again. Lost all my apps, market access, youtube, etc. Don't know if this issue has been discussed before. May just have to go back to stock.
It appears that something is amiss. I cannot sign back into any Google Services.
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call Customer Care.

Would a simple re-rooting solve the issue?
Same here. Was using everything fine Saturday. Turned on the device and in a few minutes I got an error, something about a problem with the registration and it said it was rebooting. It did and wiped everything of my rooted install except the market. Can't login to google account now.

I might add that I got my device it was at 1.0.0 and I rooted then reflashed to stock to upgrade to 1.0.1 and rerooted. Then I noticed after today's unexpected reboot/data wipe (the status screen during the reboot says it was wiping data) it again gave a message that it had just upgraded to 1.0.1 so I initially thought this was an issue with the device thinking the firmware upgrade was not quite done...
Mine quit working as well. Mine is a 1.0.0 that was auto-nootered. Everything was fine and I used it daily. Now it is a brick, nothing I do seems to make it boot. Every once in a while I can get the backlight to come on but nothing else and it just goes off again in a few seconds.
Rather than troubleshoot, I busted an 8 times reboot to go back to stock then re-rooted. Seemed like less headache, panic and stress.
If your NC dosen't boot at all. Try doing a dd of snowfox's boot.img in dev section. See thread for more info. You'll need to boot into NF from SD.

I have tried rerooting, and restoring through clockwork...it seems to always revert and bootloop. Although the reroot lasted a week and clockwork restore hasn't lasted 24hrs twice now.
Not sure what to do but My wife is ready to kill me! I'll have to go stock till someone finds a way to bust up this authorization or just wait I read some ROMs are being developed.
Have any of you disabled the otacerts.zip?
If you haven't it may be the problem.
I have and same on my wife's and neither of us have had any issue, and we use them daily.
I hadn't realized I should be doing this. I will try it. I am actually thinking that my first store purchase came w/ an update (my issue seemed to start right after a magazine trial purchase was made).
Thanks.

Thank you, I will try that. All the searching I did was for disable OTA NC and such but actually searching for OTACerts brought out many many threads that were archived on this subject... I can't wait to get home to try it!
I did not rename the ota file.... will give it a go.

I am hoping someone can help me with this. I had my nook rooted, market, youtube and gingerbread keyboard installed and working. different boot screen flashed. i plugged it in to my pc here at work to charge. when i unplugged it, it was at the startup screen with the android. The old boot screen is back. All apps are removed. it appears to still be rooted, but I cant bring up keyboard at all. All my apps and everything I installed are gone. I don't understand what happened to it. Any one have any idea? Thanks!
A wizard did it.
Seriously others have reported similar anomalies The thing to do is wipe and start over. I suggest you get titanium back up so you don't have to completely start over next time.
I figured thats what I would have to do. I don't think i would have needed to, had I not installed the gingerboard keyboard. I was just wondering if anyoen else experienced, perhaps we could pinpoint the problem and figure out what to do to avoid it. Worse part is some one wanted to see it after I told them not to waste thier money on an ipad, they come over and it doesnt work at all. Well it worked, but just as an e-reader, bleh who bought it for that, lol.

Dropbox works very well indeed. Awesome Drop is also very good. While it offers no online storage, it doesn't require an account either. However, neither wanted to work without an External SD card. Haven't looked into they wouldn't use the internal storage. Anyone know?
Possibly it updated to 1.01? Mine was act a little strange, then all of a sudden it updated to 1.01 (even with the script in place to disable over the air updates).
I also had some sporadic reboots. Just re-rooted after the 1.01 update and it seems more stable. I also installed an uptime widget to monitor and it's been up now for 11h 30m..
In a couple more weeks it won't matter as the 2.3 build continues to progress..

Hey can you let me know if your Read to Me functionality is working on 1.0.1?
Im on 1.0.0 still because the read to me doesn't work with the 1.0.1 update.
I also get sporadic reboots now that im rooted.

It was already updated. I am not sure what happened, but Its up and running again. This thing is awesome, even with the barnes and noble rom, and restrictions. It plays every game I throw at it, just as good as my Incredible. Most apps fit the screen well and its only going to get better. best 250 I ever spent. I literally carry this thing everywhere I go!
Just saw this post. Same thing just happened to me while I was in the market. Sucks... have to reroot now... argh...

Another data point: got my Nook Color December 25. It was version 1.0.0. Updated to 1.0.1 and rooted with auto-nooter-2.12.25 on December 26. All went well (including using the Shop, though I didn't buy anything) until last night. Entered the shop and got the infamous "authentication problem" message, after which my nook reset itself. When it was finished, the green 'n' icon in the lower left was on (which is odd, since it appears to have updated from 1.0.1 to 1.0.1).
When the dust had settled, the device was still rooted (I still have Market, still have NookColor Tools, still have SuperUser), but everything I'd put on since rooting was gone, and all my settings (wifi key, barnes and noble account, gmail account) were gone.
I'm reasonably familiar with linux (though only a little bit specifically with android), so I'll be happy to poke around to see if I can find anything....
Possible reason?

No, that would be 1.0.1. Android Police tend to be late on the uptick on real news, and make up the rest...
Not sure if this discussion has already happened.
I have noticed twice since rooting my nook (with 2.12.25) that it has randomly restores back to 1.0.0 (or seemingly).
The first time it was just sitting beside me and it did one of its un-commanded restarts. I noticed that it was reloading the original 1.0.0 version. I lost everything and the nook was unresponsive after finishing. I followed all the hard reset rules and then upgraded to 1.0.1. I then autorooted again and reinstalled all apps.
Last night it did it again while I was using it. I was reading a book and then went to check email. I got an error message something like "invalid authorization" and that it was reloading the base software. I let it do its thing and go through its reboots. I also let it automatically update to 1.0.1 before I touched it. I re-registered it. Now when it loads it doesn't show the normal rooted nook boot screens. When I go into extras I see only the stock apps plus the additional ones that the auto-nooter loads (everything else gone). I tries to get me to log into LogicPD Zoom (Google) but it fails to load.
Has anyone else seems this?
Is there a way to re-load or fix the nook color install without having to go through the complete wipe process?
Once I fix is there some setting we can change to prevent it from happening again?
Thanks
After nootering the nook, I proceeded to load clockwork mod and made a backup of the OS. Now when it auto restores, I can reinstall the backup from clockwork mod by holding both Power and the Nook Key for five seconds when powering on.
Still don't seem to know how to stop the auto restoring though
Mine restarts too, has since I rooted it. Thankfully, there is no data loss, just an inconvenience. If there were a log being kept (like in other OSs), I could at least go there to find out what is crashing it.
Acts like a low memory restart, but that isn't what it is.
TJD
Wanted to add that mine does this also. It has happened 3 times in 4 weeks. Thank god for ClockWork it is not to big a deal now to restore. I wish someone could figure this out tho.
Mine actually randomly boots up (I'll have it off, then hear it start up a few hours later). Not sure it's related, but thought I'd mention it in case it turns out to be.

Mine used to restart everytime it went to sleep. Happens to alot of people. SetCPU and On Demand usually fixes it. There is like 2 or 3 of these threads in Q&A

Except they're talking about the system restoring itself, not rebooting.
It has to reboot to restore. Thought if you fix the reboot problem it would help maybe not... My bad
I'm autonooted on 1.0.0 and have never had an ota restore or update.
Sent from my Nook Color
Have you guys made sure to rename the otacerts file after rooting?
There are several active threads on this. In my case it was a faulty power button. I went ahead and exchanged the unit. Replacement is 1.01 and feels like the case is sturdier. Might be imagining that. Check my other posts on the subject. Good luck.

I have done some research here and on Google on a really odd problem...
My wife has a NC I updated to 1.0.1 then rooted. About a week later on her way to work it restarted and unupdated (?) back to 1.0.0... So I thought it was a fluke, root was gone but most things still worked, not Youtube or market but other apps I installed while / did.
Now twice, 2 days in a row I have checked out the device, I installed Clockwork, did a backup and the next morning on the way to work (She works in manhattan, takes the train in) it is bootlooped "touch the future of reading" so last nite I ran the clockwork restore and it was fine then again this morning... same thing stuck in a boot loop.
As happy as I am about her being able to restore it on her own...it takes a while and shes at work by the time its done! and the maddening part is that I booted it multiple times the nite before in both cases...
What could be causing this? Things I haven't tried yet?
I checked the SD to make sure there weren't any update.zips or similar,
I have not formatted the SD, that I will do tonight.
I read the whole thread regarding Clockwork I didn't see anything I might have messed up...Does this have to do with uSD boot priority and maybe I have a hidden file on the SD?
And I have really searched for something similar, people have bootloops but not like mine that I can see.
Sorry for being long here but this is frustrating, I'm not all that new at this I've been voiding my warranties for a long time and this one has me stumped...
Thanks in advance for any reasons, suggestions.
EDIT: Looks like I am not alone, I am seeing more of these problems pop up now.
Did you disable OTA updates?
I'm on 1.0.0 and haven't had issues at all. Seems that folks having this issue are all on 1.0.1 (or at least from what I've noticed). So, perhaps, to go 1.0.0 and root?

I have disabled OTA but if this is a registration/ auth problem I guess it wouldn't help.
I have NOT gone the 1.0.0 then root path and that sounds like a good next step, thank you.
I know there is a lot of information on this, however my problem appears to be a bit more chronic all of a sudden. If anyone has any idea what this is (especially if it is a possible hardware issue), I would really appreciate it.
This started the past weekend and has been driving me crazy ever since. After uninstalling facebook on Saturday, I got the pop up. Rather than messing with trying to fix it, I went and reflashed the rom. While restoring all my apps, the error popped up again. Convinced there as something up on the phone or the sdcard file system, I restored back to stock 4.4.2 with odin. I rooted, went through the same restore process and after one of my reboots, it came back. Finally I searched and did "restore app defaults" in the application manager. That worked for a while, but came back a few times, until finally that method wouldn't fix it anymore.
Last night I reflashed with odin again. This time I didn't root. Everything was fine all day until I decided to uninstall twitter and the acore message is back. Doing an app reset did fix it again, however I am afraid at this point to reboot the phone or do anything else.
I had this problem maybe once about 3 months ago, now I can't get ride of it no matter what I do. I should also point out that I did not do a TiBu restore or anything, I installed all my apps through the play store.
Thanks in advance guys
Have you tried going into application manager and clearing data for contact storage? It's what I do when I get this error message

I did that, however it usually didn't work. I had to reset all application defaults and the issue usually went away. During one of my reflashes, even that didn't work anymore.
Seems like the issues started when either I turned off one of the bloatware apps, or deleted something. Sometimes the acore would start right away, other's after I rebooted the phone.
This last time, I got the phone setup, I got 2 acore's early on (Clearing app defaults worked both times). I didn't do anything else to the phone for a few days. Last night I finally rooted, installed safestrap and my other root apps and so far everything seems stable. I will just do a twrp backup before removing anything in the event things go bad again.
What still bothers me is don't know what caused this all of a sudden. I've been flashing roms for years and never once had this sort of problem. I will all set to consider this a hardware issue, until it finally settled down.
DOK2 all stock firmware here.
Got my phone back in december. My phone has been chugging alone fine until yesterday. not sure what happened but the lock screen takes minutes to come back. I tried doing a factory reset via software and when I did that the phone was still sluggish. Tried a stock recovery reset, and afterwards when i tried signing into my account and connecting to wifi at the initial setup the phone just rebooted back to the start screen again which i thought was real odd. It's currently restoring apps from the app store right now and it intermittently reboots itself while doing stuff. all while it's completely stuttering if i try to use it...
Is my phone starting to have internal memory failure? no SD card in the phone at the moment.
Should I try reflashing the DOK2 firmware via odin and then doing a reset again? Is that even possible with all the restrictions?
used it for about 30 minutes on my way to work and then it rebooted on me with the following error :
ddi: mmc_read failed
Check this thread for a workaround. I use an app to keep my phone from going into deep sleep.

Wouldn't hurt to reflash stock. Google usually restores apps when you check box at first boot for backup and restore. I'm wondering if you installed an app that doesn't agree with your phone... if so, you may continue seeing this issue so long as app is installed.

Did a factory reset and cleared cache, reflashed stock DOK2 from sammobile website using odin, cleared cache. things were going a little bit better at first but now just stuttering all over the place and randomly rebooting still. I only have very few apps downloaded, including facebook updates, instagram, all the samsung and google crap that forces updates...
Also want to add that booting into recovery takes a very long time, longer than i've ever noticed it taking... 7 min+ sometimes it will say "installing system updates" with the android guy chugging along, other times it will just have the android guy chugging....
Is there anything else I can try? Is there something I can test to verify that it's a hardware issue and not a software problem, like a flash memory checker?
This phone is out of warranty, and knox has been tripped so I have very limited options here. Would the Tmobile store let me do an exchange for a fee?

Can't seem to find any complaints on the Verizon/ATT forums but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.
Could it be Touchwhiz?
