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.

I know this has been talked about on the cyan thread, but there has not been any resolution, and things get buried there very quickly.
Since the latest cyan builds (post google C&D), my gmail will never sync on a regular basis.
I have tried all the suggestions:
logging out of google via google apps
wiping
uncheck "keep home in memory" (spare parts)
sometimes it will work fine for days or even a week... other times the above "workarounds" will only last an hour.
last night, i relogged into my google account... today the entire day went w/o the email syncing.
is there anything I can do about this?? I know im not the only one with the problem, but i can't find any solid solution.
Disk space low?
Sometimes when internal disk space is low(apps installed onto the phone instead of an sd card) Google sync stops working.
Sorry if that isn't the problem/solution for ya.
im using the stock apps2sd built into the ROM.
while Local was not installed on earlier builds, I did have it on 4.5 +
I uninstalled this and now things to be syncing correctly. again, I had this issue for a while w/o Local installed...so I don't think this is the cause.
but for now, its working.
anyone else?
take that back... its back to not syncing right away...
I wiped and reinstalled from scratch. HTC recovery then Cyanogen's latest. No luck on the synching.
I installed WG versions of Cyanogen's rom and the sync works with it. Which leads me to believe something in our devices combined with CyanogenMod is somehow interferring with sync. What apps do you have?
My basic problem is a failure to connect to google servers on my phone. The part I don't understand, is that it did work at one point in time. To explain everything...
I bought my phone on ebay and I logged into my gmail account and everything synced and worked great. I wanted to root my phone and install Cyanogen, so I used the guide to downgrade. I used the dreaIMG.nbh file and then installed cupcake and when I tried to log into google server it kept timing out. I wiped everything and re-tried, same thing. I switched sim cards with the other phone on my account (we have even more unlimited everything family plan with tmo) and it logged in and everything worked and I was at firmware 1.5. As soon as I put my card in I got a sync error and I could not use my data plan at all. I used wifi to download the Linda file manager and the one thing I messed up on is booting into the recovery img and I turned it off instead of connecting it to the pc and installing Cyanogen. It went back to the boot menu after that and I tried to log in and it wouldn't let me. I tried other sim card and that one didn't work.
After all that frustration I wiped the system, re-applied the dreaIMG.nbh and then cupcake and it still wont let me log in. Is there anyway I can fix this? It is the thing that drives me insane. I feel like I wasted my money on this expensive phone for it to not be able to use my data plan. Please help me I have been trying for hours to get this to work!
I'm updating this thread because I have even more problems.
I was able to grab a different Micro SDHC card this morning and I re-flashed the SuperD 1.11 ROM on the phone. It went fine and I tested the browser first thing. It hung for about 30 seconds, then loaded my home page. I thought I'd solved the problem finally, but I'm back to a non-functioning browser. The browser app opens, the progress bar starts, and then nothing. Web pages simply won't load. I have data up and down with the apps, text messaging works, phone calls work fine, just a dead browser.
One more new problem, maybe related. When I reboot, the widgets on my home screen sometimes fail to load. It's intermittent, not on every boot. I get the "Problem loading widget" error in each one's place. I can drag them to the trash and re-add them and they work fine.
I re-added all my apps directly from the market this time, re-downloading and reinstalling them on the clean install with the new SD card. I did a Nandroid backup after first running each app once to make sure everything was working. When the browser failed again, I did a Nandroid restore from recovery. It took about 20 minutes (don't think that's normal) and then when I rebooted I still have the browser failure. If I've uploaded correctly there's a pic of a very slow restore in progress.
At this point, I have to consider giving up. I would really like to have this phone working well again, and maybe donate it to someone locally. I have ordered another phone (HTC Desire) since it was about time for an upgrade, but I really want to solve this and fix the problem Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Below is my original post, with what I had tried so far.
Thanks - Tom

I'm having major problems with the stock browser the last couple of days. I can't get any web pages to load.
I have data up and down no problem, over 2G, 3G and WiFi. My APN settings are correct, I've checked them repeatedly. Market, widgets, apps all connect great. In the search widget I even get the search suggestions as I type.
I had been using the stable Cyanogen builds for months now, with little trouble. This is a new problem for me.
I've cleared the browser cookies, cache, etc from within the browser settings. I also cleared the data from Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Browser.
I'm experiencing this problem on more than one ROM. I tried the Cyanogen 5.0.7 test3 and gave up trying to make it work. (browser + USB mounting wouldn't work for me with Cyanogen) I am now on my second install of SuperD 1.11, same problem with the browser. I even went all the way back and re-rooted and re-flashed everything from the DREAIMG.nbh through to the Haykuro SPL, Radios, Amon-RA recovery v1.6.2 and SuperD again. I did that twice the last two days.
I've wiped the SD card and re-partitioned it correctly repeatedly while troubleshooting each ROM install. I'm using GParted w/Ubuntu 9.10 if that's important.
I've tried leaving the apps on the phone's memory, and with appstoSD, same thing.
I've tried both recommended radios (2_22_19_26I & 2_22_23_02), each radio tried on each ROM.
Tried fix_permissions from both terminal emulator and recovery console, I get "Permission denied" on each line, looping endlessly with the same error when it gets to com.google.android.server.checkin, and I cancel out of it.
Honestly, I'm a bit of a noob and I can't believe I haven't bricked this thing yet. There is a ton of good info on the wikis and many how-tos I have read and searched. At this point I am out of ideas and don't have a clue what to do next. I may be missing something basic here, but I can't find it. I have great backups of everything and so I don't mind all the flashing and reinstalling. I just want to have a functioning browser. Any suggestions?
tl;dr Ahhhhhhhhh! Browser no good?! Why?
On the bright side, I'm learning so much now with all this troubleshooting...
I installed Opera and Dolphin browser just to see what would happen. Dolphin failed exactly the same way, but Opera is working fine. I'll make it the default browser and just go from there. Too bad about the stock browser, huh?
Anyone.....Bueller......Bueller?
I'm also having problems with the stock browser on Cyanogen 5.0.7 based roms (tried test 1/2 and Superbad1.2.1). Browsing works sometimes on 3G but almost never on wifi. Other programs and widgets can connect just fine on both 3G and wifi. So I went back to a nandroid backup of Vegas Legend and 3G and wifi browsing works just fine. So I thought what about other Eclair roms and flashed Kings Eclair 1.9. Here it also works as it suppose to.So now I'll try test 4 or a rom based of it, wish me luck! I'll let you know if I manage to get it to work...
Good luck Enberg,
My problem spans multiple re-formats of the card and different ROMs. Cyanogen's 5.0.7 and SuperD 1.11 both. The problem can't be with their ROMs, since they are working for others. There is something wrong with this phone, or I am doing something wrong, I don't know. I fail to understand how a problem like this could persist between installs, re-rooting, changing SD cards, etc. I'm totally baffled. Everything but the browser works. The Opera Mini browser is my only option for browsing, and I just figured that out yesterday while troubleshooting.
I try the browser on 3G, WiFi, even tried a neighbor's open WiFi to see if my router was somehow the root of the problem. No luck.
My new HTC Desire is shipping today so I will just let this go and trash the G1 in a few days. It's too bad because I really like it still and ran different ROMs/themes, etc with no issues like this. Time to move on.
Solved it! After numerous reboots and reflashing I remebered that old Hero ports usually required that you on first boot skipped all accounts setup etc and once you got to the start screen immediately start market. Then setup a google account and accept EULA for market. If this was not done market would not function. So by old habit this is what I always do after flashing something new. Since my last post Ive tried at least many different rooms (eclair without sense like CM5, ZXK Eclair and Superbad...) this way with the same result, none working stock browser (also Dolphin and Skyfire none working) on wifi but market, email, Opera etc working. On 3G everything works including stock browser.
This time I wiped everything (as usual) and flashed SuperBadCM5 V1.2.4, skipped accounts setup at first boot and once I got to the start screen I started Wifi and then started the browser and it worked! Then I started market, setup google account and accepted EULA. Then I tested turning off wifi and starting it again and browser still works!
Dont know if this procedure was what fixed it or if I was just lucky. Anyhow, I'm going to leave my phone as it is now for a while not trying to push my luck! Hope this helps.
I just got my wife a nook color for xmas. I saw that there was root, so I tried to root it. I went through the first step to gain root access via the sd card, and all seemed to go well. However, when I went to do the 'follow-up' steps to create a google account, I was unsuccessful. It keeps telling me that it can't establish a reliable connection to the server. However, I am connected to the internet via wifi. I am able to surf the web. My email app is also working for her comcast account. Super user access was granted, as well. The NookColorTools app seems to be working too. (I haven't tried Talk yet).
Can anyone offer any help? I tried searching for this problem, but I was unable to find anything. Any links or help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
I figured out that I did have to go back via the 8 re-boot method and I went back to stock. All good now. Figured I would post this answer in case others have the same problem.
I had this same issue today and I just plugged the sd card back in and ran the exploit again. Everything works great
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.
