After updating to 2.2, I found that I can no longer update or load certain apps from the Android market on my AT&T Captivate. It appears that the phone is seen by the market as an AT&T phone and that certain apps will not download.
I read in a post that using Market Access to change the code to Verizon would do the trick but am not able to figure how to do that.
I also installed Market enabler but that does not work, or I have done something wrong.
I have tried setting the phone to download from unknown sources and now the new Amazon Appstore works but has done nothing for the Android market.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

nookcolor 1.0.0 with official update to 1.0.1 then with autoroot, that enable android market, and run smoothly
after update to 1.1.0 use the following rom [ROM] Nook Color V1.1.0_r2, market won't run anymore, I tried to
use http://market.android.com to install new apps, but it doesn't work too. does anyone have the clue?
[ROM] Nook Color V1.1.0_r2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
tried to restore to origianl 1.0.0 rom, but it boot to Clockwork Recovery everytime
what do you mean market wont run? if you are getting the server error message just wait eventually it will work. it seems like with the new market, google is changing settings on peoples accounts which will block your device from accessing the market. i had the same problem but the next day it was gone.
if you tried to put your nook back to stock and now its only booting into CWR go to the developers thread and they have multiple ways to recover your nook
here
and here
To restore to stock you need to remove the SD card and then press and hold the power button until it powers off and then press to turn on, wait until the N appears and press and hold power until it turns off and then repeat this process for like 8 times or so and it will then update the firmware to stock.
Im seeing the same thing.. Ver 1.1.0 and get the Market Server error everytime i try to launch the Market.
I updated to 1.1 and then booted with Autonooter 3.0 image. The Market works fine setup wizard was all I needed and all my apps are there. So, it's not definitely not the B&N 1.1 update causing the problem.
Also couldn't get the market to run after upgrading to 1.1.0
Press the icon and it would flash a white screen then back to the app folder. Youtube was doing this as well and I was able to fix it by removing and reinstalling, but I can't do this with the market apparently (just keeps running the install then saying market not installed)
I tried to make anflashable evrsion of the vending.qpk but it didn't even run because I have no clue how to make flashable packages for CWR.
Any ideas? Kinda sux not having the market

Don't use CWN and that ROM then (not that there's anything wrong with it).
Backup anything you don't want to lose by copying it your computer in any way you can / want.
Instead try going back to stock like described here...
http://www.nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
Then update to 1.1 from official B&N update found here...
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/nookcolor-support-software-update/379002520/?cds2Pid=35758
Then boot with AutoNooter 3.0 from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942424
Connect to WiFi and then just follow the setup wizard.
After that...run the market, agree to market terms and you're done!
FYI, I didn't have to use Youtube to get the Market to work. The Setup Wizard worked all on it's own.
Ok, let me rephrase. Any ideas on why I can't instal the market. Tips to get it reinstalled? I did this once on my phone and I had to remove all traces of the market first, hurt I can't remember where all the files and folders were located.
I like using CWR as it is what I am familiar with

Market runs -but not well...?
Total newbie - seamlessly rooted NC 1.1 yesterday - (so grateful to developers!)
One of the only problems I have encountered is with Market -- I've searched and searched these forums to see if anyone else is having a similar problem -- but have yet to find anything.
I am able to access Market, and download apps with no problem. The only issue is when I view anything in the Market, it only shows roughly 10 results in any list I view. If I do a search, it may indicate that there are 754 results but will only list 10-12 of the results. Not a dealbreaker of course but if there's a work around, or fix, I'd love to know.
TIA

Use AppBrain app. You're on older android market.
Took the gapps zip from the Monster package and removed all files except the contents of META-INF and the vending.apk and flashed in CWR, market back .

I have 2 nooks, a nook color and a touch which both started having issues with the market sunday. Both worked Saturday and as far as I know there was no update. The color gives a server error and won't even connect. The touch is unable to download anything. This appears to only affect the market app. I can connect directly with a browser. Both have cm7. Anyone have any thoughts?
Tried restoring market & data.

Have same issue on my Nook color yesterday.. WIFI is on, able to browse through browser, but when was trying to connect to marked it says "No Connection" RETRY. Are you able to resolve it?
Hey, y'all! I'm getting the same problem too, I just loaded CM7 to my NC and the market won't function. I even installed the Play Store from an apk and all that shows up is "Server Error" and a retry button. And, retrying gives the same screen. Help would be very much appreciated!
Has anyone been able to get the Market Place or Play Store to work properly? I've tried deleting the data and the cache for the new Play Store. I've gone back to an older verision of the Market Place...and I get the same "No Connection" Retry error.
I get into the Market and can look around without any problems. But when I try to access my apps, it fails. I'm not able to update any of my apps.
I have no problem with play store today and yesterday. I am running CM7 on uSD from dual CM7/CM9 image with 0305 update.
I resolved the market issue by restoring the last backup. I am not sure what happened but it looks like I lost a few things somewhere. I am having no problems with the new market either, and it also works with ics (on sd) for me.

I'm not sure the issue is the market app. 1.1 was an old version of android (eclair) and the mbs app may need froyo or higher before the market will allow it to be shown as available.
I recommend that you update your B&N software to the latest version (1.4.3) and root it again. Use Manual Nooter 5.08.20 to root it. It will then have the latest market (play store) and be updated to froyo. Look at my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A15 to get the update. You can always make a nandroid backup of your system with CWM as it is now and if you don't like the new version, just restore your backup to return to rooted 1.1.
PS, the reviews that I saw for that app are terrible. You might want to check that out before making any changes.
EDIT: GMPOWER says it needs gingerbread so updating to 1.4.3 will not help. It is froyo and is one level down from gingerbread. I now recommend putting CM7 on an SD install. To do that, follow Taosaur's blog here:

The app specifically says that it requires android version 2.3 (Gingerbread) and up. You will need to install CM7 over the stock firmware, or on the SD card, all of that information should be covered in "leapinlar's" tips page.
Recently bought my wife a droid on Ebay, it is not rooted and functions fine with 1 exception it will not update to current software
Firmware 2.0
Kernel 2.6.29
Build # ESD20
My wife would like to down load certain apps but she is stuck with Android MArket and they are only offered on Google Playstore, any way I can force an update or install it myself? When I check the phone says it is up to date, My sone has a droid as well and it is current.

You need android 2.2 or above to use the playstore. The Droid has gotten officially updates up to 2.2.3, so I'm surprised it says your phone is up to date. If you are not able to get the OTA, you can download the update (2.2.3) from here: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/11/21/download-frk76-update-for-the-original-motorola-droid/ or another option is to install a custom rom.
It Does Not Appear in 2.2.3 Either
I just got a Motorola Droid to play with. After resetting and updating it, I was expecting to find a notification for the Play Store, but there wasn't any. I looked through the Google Market on the phone to see if the Play Store was in the Market, but it wasn't.
I downloaded the update and renamed it update.zip booted to recovery did a factory and cache wipe then selected install update.zip from sd card but it failed to open no such file, so i rebooted used astro file manager and I see it plain as day, what am i doing wrong
My wife recently asked if I could get her Nook up and running again. I updated it to 2.2.1 and got the device running properly again. When I went to add her Google account though it won't work. It appears that the login page is invalid. Some digging online it sounds like Google stopped supporting that version of Android. Is there any way to update the Google apps or spoof the android version to allow it to login? She just wants to be able to use the Google Books app and the library built up there.

Unlikely. The typical means for signature spoofing start with KitKat and the stock OS is Jellybean. Also you would need to root to try anything like that.
I've used microG to do what you suggest on a Nook Tablet but that was with an updated custom ROM and root.
