[Q] Cyanogen 6 GApps

Using Clockwork, I was able to get Cyan6 on my phone but whenever I opted to include Froyo GApps in the download ROM part, I got "corrupt zip" error multiple times. Now I am running Cyan6 just fine , minus the Market et al. Any ideas?

You can get the current version of the Gapps add-on here:

Flash the downloaded zip either from ROM Manager or from custom recovery.

ROM Manager / Custom Recovery, unable to recognize zip. Says (bad). However, on going back to ROM Manager, was able to download and flash. Thanks for the lead though
I did notice that reboots .... haphazard I should say are happening on device now. It's fast too, {compared to stock} esp when I try to download certain apps from market....will download fine, but when the installing dialogue appears on the menu bar, it reboots. Thoughts..

No idea, sounds like something is amiss. Is it possible you have an HBOOT version that isn't playing nice with the method you used to flash custom recovery and CM6? Are you running a Froyo radio version that is compatible with CM6?
OH - and I almost forgot - did you wipe data/cache when you installed CM6? If you didn't then you may find that CM6 boots up but acts very strange and would give you a world of problems.

Wiped data and cache and that did it. Thanks.

Issues with GApps and WiFi on CM7

Hi guys,
I was using RODS MIUI with an ext card partition so far. Now today, I downloaded the new CM7.0.2.1 and flashed it using Clockwork Recovery. Once it was done, flashed the GApps 20110307. Rebooted.
Now the thing is, I can't find the GApps/Market anywhere on the phone. Its just now showing up. Is it because I didn't flash it right, or did I miss something?
And coming to the WiFi part, its stuck at 'Obtaining IP' forever!! PLEASE HELP!!
Just FYI, if it matters..
Radio - 5.12.00.08
Rom Manager - 4.2.0.0
Clockworkmod Recovery - 3.0.0.5

If you're using CWM 3.0 I would suggest downgrading to a CWM 2.x.x version.
Also did you do a full wipe including system partition?

Yes, did a full wipe and cleared the cache a couple of times before flashing. No luck.
Just noticed that, although the GApps don't appear on the drawer, they are shown in the Settings-Apps list. Weird.

Are you using DT a2sd? Also get rid of CWM 3.0, use older version or Amon Ra.
It probably fubar your sd card partition

try to use search and type in market.
I know it sounds weird, but I don't see Market in the drawer too, but after I search for it, its there all of a sudden.

Tried it now.. still no luck!
I got rid of the ext partition by doing a full format from my PC. I don't know if it really works, but the free space is now showing 14.8GB on my 16GB card, so i assume it worked. Did a wipe+flash again but ended up with the same problem.
And any idea about the WiFi issue?? It just gets stuck obtaining the IP!!! So annoying.

The problem seems to be solved after downgrading from CWM 3 to 2.5 and then flashing the ROM and GApps. WiFi was also fixed.
Thanks for the help everyone.

[Q] Able to restore to stock, but...

My boot went corrupt with CM 7.0.2. I was able to restore to stock with no problem, but everytime I attempt to install CM 7 (stable or nightly), I get a black screen except for a little white/light blue line in the upper right corner.
I use the 3.0.0.5 Recovery with the directions in the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Does anyone have an idea why this happens? I do remove the SD recovery card, and insert a blank SD card before rebooting.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Use 3.0.2.8 recovery

Thanks, I'll give that a shot right quick.

Tried it and it boots back to the black screen with the line in the upper right corner.
Here's what I did.
Made the bootable sd card, copied over lastest build of cm7 and gapps.
Installed zips.
wiped data.
switch sd cards, rebooted
also tried it w/o wiping data.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Wiping cache?

Should I do that before or after installing the zips?

wipe system, data, cache, then flash zips

Just downloaded a stable release, and it works. Is there any reason why the Nightly 80 wouldn't work, even after re-downloading it?

I'm also dealing with the same issue as well. The problem started when I tried to update from nightly 76 to 77. I also tried to flash to nightly 80, but no luck. I'm flashing a stable release now.
Edit: Flashing the stable release also worked for me. However, I wasn't able to flash the latest nightly over the stable build.

Yep.
Same problem here.
The stable works, boots fine, but the nightlies won't boot.
They go into the same flashing blue line.
I tried all the advice I could find, wipe system, cache, data and tried restoring to stock, still no dice.
I am using CWM 3.0.2.8.

I'm just a different flash method (verygreen's SD install), but found that nightlies beyond 75 won't boot without installing the .32 OC kernel. There's a discussion in both cyanogenmod experimental nook forum and in the dev forum here about it.

I guess I'll just wait until they resolve the issue then. I was really wanting to see how well the deep sleep worked.

Finally got the latest nightly from today with OC kernel and gapps. Running great so far. Just waiting on market being able to download.

Stumped....Maybe you guys can help. Or maybe not

I have 2 nook colors one for me and one for my girlfriend, I am/was running CM 7 on them. Its been awhile since ive updated them. Ive tried the newest nightly and the latest STABLE release. Both got hung up on the same spot. The green CM logo will say its loading then it will go into a black screen lit by the backlight and just hangs there. no boot animation, no boot loop. Just sits there. Or It will just reboot itself back into clockwork after saying it installed the rom. Ive used the CWM removal and that made it just hung on a nook bootup screen.
Ive let it sit for 15 minutes and nothing. Im not new as ive rooted my og droid, my dx and 2 nook colors. I havent really had this issue with the nooks. not really sure what to do. Ive wiped data/cache formatted the symsted, data and cache and nothing.
My steps are as follows.
1)Download either Phiremod test 7 or ANY CM nightly
2) plug my data sdcard into my computer and transfer
3)boot into clockwork
4)Wipe pretty much everything (I also tried installing on top of the stable releases)
5)Install.
I know to expect issues but there HAS to be something im doing wrong that lets one nook install flawlessly and another nook that wont install any nightly or test build. If it didnt boot up they wouldnt leak the nightly. Its something on my end. I gotta figure it out
I also just went back to stock and re-rooted and I have the same issue

You probably have the wrong bootloader and kernel...the newest cm7s are based on the 2.6.32, not the older 2.6.29 (or something), and the newest 1.2 bootloader..which you probably don't have if it's "been awhile"..lol...You have to upgrade your Cwm first, from 3.0.1.0 to 3.0.2.8, I think, then flash your Cwm to a nightly after 86??(Google to check), and it will change your boot partition to the correct one...If your nook still says "touch the future", you're on the wrong bootloader.....Also, quit using Phiremod.....it's a copy of Cm7 first of all, but by the time it's released, it's already outdated, it's not updated like it should be, and it's Douchey. Google the basics of what I described above if it sounds like that might be your problem and lmk how it works out for you....Btw....I used nightly 106 for this exact thing on another of my Nooks a few days ago and it worked flawlessly...There are newer nightlies out, but that one for sure worked.....

I might be confused; Is one of your Nooks OK or are they both refusing to boot anything based on the .32 Linux kernel?
As I read it you aren't having trouble loading either with 7.0.3 stable. Correct?
The only thing I could suggest is loading the stable version, downloading the latest nightly CM (skip Phiredrop's theme for now) DIRECTLY to the SD card (skip the computer step), and do a factory reset and format boot, system, data, and cache (all four).
Load just the nightly and gapps (save the OC kernel for later), and then see if THAT boots all the way up.
Of course make sure you have a full backup of the stable OS install before you start.
If none of that works, then prepare the SD card as an install card and try that. Do you have just the one card?

Thanks for the replies....I thought 3.2.0.1 was the newest clockwork? I guess I need to pay more attention to the nook. lmao Mazook I think you are on the right track. Also to the phiremod is that the og droid equivalent to UD? hahahaha I actually liked the look of phiremod but i digress...
On that note I installed the uboot 1.2 and flashed it and it still boots into clockwork but that maybe because I may be on an outdated cwm im the one i stated above

If I remember correctly, you can't just jump from 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.1.0 to newest...there's one in between that transitions the upgrade in bootloaders...I'm pretty sure I went 3.0.1.0 to 3.0.2.8 to flashing Cm7 nightly 106...then to upgrade to Cwm 3.2.0.1 while in Rom manager, while using Cm7....leSigh....Clockworkmod is the only thing I can't stand about using my Nook....(though I rarely need it any more) AmonRa is such a better (and fully functional) recovery build...One thing I wish we had gotten.....

While in Rom Manager, go to "flash older clockworckmod recoveries ".....then choose 3.0.2.8 (Make a nandroid first) and have all the stuff you want to flash ready to go on the SD...then go into recovery from Rom Manager, which will put you in 3.0.2.8......if that doesn't do it, try the same thing again, but go to 3.0.1.0 first....then, once you get into a working cm7 with 3.0.1.0, try it all again.(upgrade to 3.0.2.8 by" try it all again" , but this time from 3.0.1.0)...you're basically trying to reinstall your boot partition, but in a different location than where it is now...its a hassle, but you can do it through just rom manager.....it's just a hassle...

Well Id love to try that but.....My nook wont turn on. It was fully charged today. Im either gonna make a bootable cwm or go back to stock and root again. I dont know if that will work though because its not even powering up.

Ok....i think im making progess....The newest nightly just goes into a bootloop. better than a clockwork bootloop i guess..... any advice on how to get it to install properly? i feel like im making progress. normal bootloops are better than what i was getting

Bueller............Bueller lmao.
Seriously though.....if anybody can figure this out it would make my year

Try this, install stock 1.2....
boot it up, go through the annoying setup, log into google apps, then power down.
Boot into CWR SD, this should have the os that you want already on it, and the google apps file.
THen click install from zip, choose zip, install the OS, after complete install google apps, then restart without sd
Do not format anything, it should do the trick.

[Q] Tried to install 10.1.3-RC2 now it hangs up or goes to bootloader

Back in May I got a nook HD+ and installed the latest nightly build very easily to SD card. Lately its been kinda slow and wanted to install 10.1.3-RC2. First, I took out the working card and used a new one (backup purposes). First I downloaded cm-10.1.30RC2-ovation.zip with the nook to the downloads folder. With the new card I used win32diskimager to image sdcard-only sdcard-cwm-ovation-sdv1.img.zip. I installed it like I did back in May and Im not sure what happened but I did something wrong and if I leave the card in to boot, it goes to CWM v6.0.3.2. If I take the card out it just hangs at the cyanogen circle just keeps going around forever. I can't get back to the stock nook os at all (although I dont ever want to use the stock nook os anyways).
I re-imaged two cards with a fresh download of the files and still having problems. I tried wiping the data/factory reset and wite cache partition then reinstall cyanogen for something to try, but same results. I also tried the a hybrid install using sdcard-cwm-ovation-hybridv3.zip but same results.
Good thing is that the original card I made back in May still works same as always (however when I use it after re-trying to install 10.1.3 a screen comes up "android is updating optimizing app XXX of 227)-only for the first time after trying a reinstall.
Im not sure what I did. Any ideas for something to try?

The problem is that rc2 is for installing on internal memory and you are trying to install it to SD. So instead of installing to SD, it installed it to internal memory and messed up stock.
To fix it, first download one of my plain stock ROM zips from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. See item 6. Then burn a new image for emmc CWM (get it at that same thread) to one of your new SDs and boot to that. It will say the CWM is for stock in the title. Flash that plain stock ROM, followed by a factory reset. Then you should be ok.
If you want to update your SD install, you must pick a ROM zip from the SD thread.

Thank you. I got it working.
