[Q] Cannot Access Barnes and Noble and Nook App won't connect - Nook Color General

So I have searched around and haven't found anything like this.
I have installed CM7 on a SD card, and installed marketplace and other apps off of the CM7 Build. I then went and installed the Nook App. However when I go set-up the app it says that there is no connectivity. Similarly if I try to go to BN.com with the eb browser it says that the web page is not available. However my cell phone and both computers have no problem connecting with the web-site.
Any ideas on where I went wrong?
Thanks

[Q] Rooted, but can't get you tube, gmail or market to work?

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

[Q] Rooted NC Market Downloads Won't Start

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.

NEW Rooted Nook, Problems...?

Ok guys I just bought a NC off Craigslist and it turns out the guy had it rooted already. He left it rooted but removed all his settings. I registered it to me and everything. I get on my wifi and can load webpages, but when I try to signin with my GMAIL stuff in the LogicPD Zoom2 app it just hangs and says it cant find a connection, but im on the net!!
wtf?!?
"this could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services"
You will need to root it yourself. He registered the Nook to you, rooted it but then did a reset to remove his information. However, this disables Gmail/Market access therefore, you ARE online and able to surf and download books, but you won't be able to access Gmail and Market until you re-root.
one last dumb question, is there a step by step on how to re-root? And install clockwork? I have a droid phone but never did a nook
ummm YEAH
In the forums.....
And no im not being a ****, I`m just too lazy to post a link but want my "senior member thingy"
Besides....there is a search box :duh:
I have a similar issue. Bought a used NC that was rooted. He left his settings in the NC, when I took out the SD card to reregister the NC it is saying "this could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services". Any ideas, I'd like to be able to use it for both an ereader and tablet.

Why won't my purchased books won't sync last page read/bookmarks?

I've got a few purchased Nook books, and they sync perfectly between my HTC Android phone Nook app and my desktop computer Nook app, however the rooted Nook Color refuses to sync. I've tried several times, but no dice. The books show up on the Nook, but the page read just won't sync. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution short of rolling the Nook back to stock? It's kind of driving me nuts when I switch between devices. Can't find this issue mentioned anywhere else.
Love the rooted Nook besides this 1 issue.
If no one has a solution, has anyone else noticed the same problem?
I noticed this as well and just assumed that their software doesn't sync pages between devices. The Nook app on my G2 pulls down my purchases just fine, but does not remember where I leave off.
Anyone else?
My HTC MT4G definitely syncs with B&N's Nook store - last page read shows up when I open the same book on the PC Nook software - and vice versa.
B&N claims that their software syncs across all platforms. I'm thinking Rooting breaks this.
I use the nook app on epic 4g and the nook color reader (rooted) and the 2 don't sync. I would love to flash my nook color to stock and try, then try after a fresh root (since I have a few things that seem to break over time with root) but i sadly don't have enough time right now.
Also my in store wifi features don't work. Anybody here have in store working wanna check if sync also works?

[Q] Zinio Connection Issue

Would greatly appreciate any assist with the following:
I have the following issue with my N2A powered Nook HD+. I have been using the N2A card exclusively for several months with almost flawless performance. However, I have recently run into the following issue with a successfully d/l and installed Zinio for Android app: "Failed to connect to the server. Please move to an area with a stronger wireless signal and try again." This happens no matter what my location is! I have a very solid, strong, and fast connection with all of my other apps.
Zinio says that it is because I am using a Nook (even though configured as an Android tablet) the app will not work and is not supported on that device. Here is the tech ass't manager's reply after I had several back and forths with a level one tech at Zinio:
"I apologize for any inconvenience. Zinio will not work properly on a Nook
device. If you are able to install the app, you will receive an error message
regarding not being able to connect to the internet -- this is normal behavior.
This is not something that we can resolve because Nook will not allow Zinio to
be used on their devices. There is no workaround that will fix this issue."
I had repeatedly explained to them in increasing detail that I was not using the BN software and that this issue was not displayed by any other app!
Their app d/l without any warning of conflict. It installed properly. It even starts up and displays its structure with no problem except for the all-important failure to connect.
Since everything else works just fine, what is the connection only issue? I have an online subscription to Aviation Week & Space Technology which is accessible only through Zinio. Desktop version is not a problem but I want to be able to access this on my HD+ which has the perfect screen size for it!
Thanks in advance.
Turns out that changing the identity of the HD+ to asus/Nexus 7 did the trick. Familiar with this process from my original NC days.

Odd! I'm running Zinio with no problems at all on both my rooted HD and HD+ running stock.
I do remember having that error massage a some point while running CM10.1 from sd-card on my Nook Tablet though.
Glad you got it sorted!

It runs fine on rooted stock and has for awhile. It's just in CM10 and CM10.1 that this problem exists. I think Zinio is full of it when it comes to the reason it isn't working.
I need to spend more time looking in to this but I have just been to busy to do it.
" I think Zinio is full of it when it comes to the reason it isn't working."
Keep in mind the following:
1. Zinio d/l from GP with no error messages regarding the tablet type.
2. The install after the d/l went off without a hitch.
3. When opening Zinio, the app structure appeared.
4. The "only" problem was the weak wifi/ can't access server" message.
Thanks for the moral support and could not have stated it better myself!
However, now that v2.1 of the stock BN software includes Google Play access, all of this might be moot. Evidently Zinio does work with this new update. As I have never tweaked the internals of my HD+, will definitely give this a try and see how well things work.
While I would prefer using 4.1, living with full access to GP under 4.0.4 might be doable. As long as I can access HBOGo, I would be thrilled!

Finally - Zinio running on my Nook HD runing Android 4.4.4
When I tried to run Zinio on my Nook HD under Android 4.4.4 (booted from the SD Card) I got a "Warning Zinio server not available..." even though Zinio ran fine from stock Nook HD. After I read harryzee's earlier posts (#1, #2) I wasn't sure how to change the identity. I finally figured out how - and Zinio ran without any problems. See how I did it below.

RE: Zinio Problem with JB Internal Install
This is probably the easiest workaround that I have ever performed. Using information that I gleaned from N2A forums and XDA Developers forums,
I was able to get Zinio working on JB 4.2.2 in about 10 minutes. Here are the steps that I followed:
1) Make sure that Zinio is NOT installed on your NT
2) Download Build Prod Editor from Google Play.
3) Start up Build Prod Editor.
4) Tap ok on the information screen that pops up.
5) Scroll down the list of properties until you see "ro.product.model"
6) Tap on "ro.product.model"
7) In the pop up window that appears tap the Property Value box.
8) Enter "nookhdplus" - without quotes.
9) Click Save.
10) It should ask if you want to reboot, if it does tap yes. If it doesn't ask then reboot the NT yourself.
11) Once the NT reboots go to Google Play and download Zinio.
This is all I had to do. Really easy. I was reading my magazines in probably 20 minutes.
Now the disclaimer.
FOLLOW THIS PROCESS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I am just an average Joe who BADLY wanted Zinio to work. I am not sure if this will have any adverse effects on your NT but I am not responsible if something goes awry.
I hope this works for you and that you enjoy running Zinio on your Nook HD!
