I just installed CM7 nightly 240 on a fresh nook color. The CM7 install to SD went fine, I set wifi connection to my router, browsed the web a bit to make sure it works. Then I went ahead to install gapps, but when I want to sign into my account it complains it "can't find a reliable connection to data server"
I checked that the wifi is on and connected... the signal is strong as I'm working right next to my router... don't know where to go from here.
Help please?
(edited to say: ) I have just tried again and again... wifi is on, I can browse the web but signing into google account times out every time. Because of that I don't have access to market etc.
On your NC, can you log in your gmail account? (using web browser)
Yes I can. But signing in to setup gapps still doesn't work (same "no reliable connection" error)
Hm now I have a whole new problem... I was playing with all kinds of settings trying to make this work... somehow I did something and now the nook is unresponsive. It's on, with a screen that says "setup wizard" at the top, won't respond to any buttons or screen gestures.
Do I have any option to reboot it besides letting the battery run out?
I had to hold the power button down for a good 20 sec before my NC turned off. Then I could restart.
Thanks that helped. I was giving up after 10-15s.
But the google login/gapps setup problem persists.
Actually I think the gapps package is just not installing correctly. In recovery it doesn't give me any errors, inflates all the apks etc then shuts down. But when I get back into CM I can't see any of them (market, etc) in the apps screen.
I have downloaded the gapps packet again and went through the install procedure, with the same result. No sign-in possible and no google apps showing up in the apps screen.
(Edit: to show that wifi is on and working I'm posting this from the nook/cm7)
If you can log in into your gmail account directly from the NC then wifi isn't your problem.
It must be a Market or Google Framework. Try to clear cache and data of both and see what happens next.
But when I get back into CM I can't see any of them (market, etc) in the apps screen.

You not gonna see Market if you not successfully set up an account first.
Where are the caches on the NC? I tried looking in /data and a few other obvious places and can't find them. (/data for instance is empty)

Go into Menu... Manage Applications... select the app you want to clear data and cache for and click clear data (this also clears cache)
So I cleared data and cache for google services framework. Market had data and cache already empty.
Still no go. Same error.
Reboot yet? Give it a try
Rebooted, no go. Cleared data and cache again, rebooted, same error.
Silly me. Please someone mark this thread as solved.
I found the problem. Here is the solution just in case someone has later on the same problem. Don't disable "background transfers" before you set your google account and the market. Afterward you can disable it if you want, but if you do it before you won't be able to correctly install gapps even with a good wifi connection.
Problem solved. Thank you everyone for helping me troubleshoot. I'll now go enjoy my dual-boot nook/android tablet.
We learn new thing everyday.
Glad your NC up and running.

When i open whatever
I choose gallery and check the box to set as default
or
I choose movie player and check the same box
And so on
But still ever time i open media or what ever the box comes up and i must choose between astro file manager, filkie movie player and all that. i not clearing cache or defaults, why isnt system setting defaults?
Same issue here. Did you resolve this?
I have the N1 running CM 7.0.3. Whenever I tell a process to use a certain default, or remember another setting, for half these apps the setting is lost. E.g. I hold the search softkey to get to Voice Search, and it asks me to agree to use my personalized data. I have to do this daily.
When I open a video from Gmail, it asks me daily whether to open it in Opera, Browser, or YouTube. I check the box to have it remember, but it always forgets.
Same with some other defaults. Default launcher however is remembered as being Launcher7.
Could this be connected to installing apps to SD such as Opera Mobile or YouTube? Voice Search however is not on the SD, and that still forgets my acceptance of its personalized data.
Wipe data from the problematic apps and try again...
Yes, have tried that, to no avail. E.g. completely uninstalled Voice Search and reinstalled. And wiped data from Gmail and rebooted.
If you're rooted, you can try fixing permissions, but I suspect a complete wipe is going to be your only fix...
Fixing permissions via ROM Manager seemed to do it. Thanks!
Ive found an issue with google backup on 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs, the issue indicates that its related to my Google account rather than my phone (nexus one). Wondering if anyone else has seen the issue.
Cannot remove google's 'backed up' data from my account. I have previously used the google backup function (privacy settings - backup my data) which copies details of my bookmarks, wireless network keys, and installed applications on to googles servers. The purpose being when you log in to a phone it will automatically download all this information and 'recover' the phone.
The problem that im having now is that I cannot remove the 'backed up' data from googles servers.
I have....
1. Unckecked 'Backup my data' - which gives me the confirmation of:
"are you sure you want to stop backing up your settings and application data and erase all copies on googles servers"
(leave the phone for 48hrs to ensure that everything has been removed from google)
2. Wipe my phone, factory restore it.
3. Sign in to phone.
4. All settings are recovered to the phone............
I have tried about 10 different ROMS, complete wipe on each install, and complete format of SD card (no ext part).
anyone have any suggestions, done a good bit of searching through google support forums and found several other people having the same issue.

anyone solve this?
I too am having a similar problem...anyone know how to solve this.
I have found a work around which involves disabling the restore just before you set up the google account on first boot, however i would still like to remove the backup data from the google servers.
Thanks D.

Load a fresh ROM, then either:
1 - Unchecked the 'backup to Google's option when first signing in, or
2- Let everything restore, then remove everything from your phone (which will then be saved your Google backup).
If you do 2, then 1, and never re-enable 1, you should get the results you're looking for...

I just got an N1 coming from a mt3g and wanted a fresh start.
What I did on mine was skip the initial login on first boot from a new ROM, unchecked the backup my data thing, then added my google account.
Once my contacts, calendar, & mail sync'd, I went back and checked to backup my data, unchecked it, got the prompt you were talking about.
Waited a day, then checked the box again and nothing has sync'd from the mt3g.

I can't download from Market. I tried to go to the web Market to download from there, and looked up Troubleshooting. It recommended signing into Talk and then trying to download. Well, I can't log into Talk. Anyone have a way I can fix this? I do have adb access. I am running Honeycomb through an sd card. Any suggestions beyond having to try the process all over again? If not, I know there are several threads on getting gmail/market/talk/maps/yahoo/etc. on the card once the OS is loaded. Which is the best one to use and follow, and what should I do once everything is on there (like what to sign on first (yahoo, or gmail, or talk, etc.)? Total newb to rooting, so I would appreciate any guidance. Getting market working is the last thing I need to get working basically. Thanks!
Force stop market and google services framework, clear caches and data for both, reboot. This worked for me.

What if you can't clear the data on Market? There's 124 kb worth of data in there, and it won't allow me to clear it. I can force stop the market and force stop/clear data on framework, but just doing those and then rebooting still won't allow me on talk or to download on market. What it did give me though was it allowed me to "see" more apps in Market that didn't show before, like Pandora. Still can't download it, but I can see it.
I loaded the Nookie Froyo to SDCARD and have been having weird issue all of which has been reported here and in other forums elsewhere. I thought I would take a few minutes and list them out and how I fixed it and also list a few I am still having to see if there is any resolution.
These resolutions are based on posts from this forum and others. I do not have the links for them all as I have scoured so many and tried so many things I stopped book marking them.
My Nookie Froyo is 0.6.8 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922324 (Thank you Brianf21) and I used the free EASEUS Partition Manager to extend #4 to the end of the 8GB SDCARD (http://www.partition-tool.com/). I am also using the multi-u-boot.bin from rookie1 (sweet thing as I can boot SDCARD or stock Nook Color w/out taking out the card!)
If I missed credit to anyone please forgive me. I am not a developer, just an end user that likes to play and am working off of other people’s hard work.
Problem 1: Market downloads apps and then stops and won’t download anymore.
Resolution: Go into Settings/Application Settings/Manage applications. Select ALL. Scroll down to Market and tap it. Tap Force Stop. Tab Clear Data and tap ok to any warning messages. Go to Google Services Framework in All Applications and tap Clear Data. Tap OK and and warning. Power off and back on.
Market should work now and if you got sign in errors for Goggle Talk that should also work. On first run of Market you may not see all of you installed apps. After I installed an app, exited market and went back in all installed Apps were present and accounted for. Been good since doing this and will continue to monitor.
Problem2: WiFi doesn’t work after sleep.
Resolution: Go into Settings/Wireless Networks and Settings/Wifi Settings Hit the Menu Button and tap Advanced. Select Wifi Sleep policy and set it to Never.
Go back to Wireless Networks and Settings and tap Mobile networks. Deselect anything in there that is 2g/3g (I have a nook color so not needed for me).
Run a file manager program that gives you root access (I used Root Explorer). Go into /System/App and rename Phone.apk to Phone.apk.old. Rename TelephonyProvider.apk also to .old. Power off and back on again as you will eventually get errors the phone doesn’t work. Again I am on a Nook Color so no phone and no need to load it.
Problem3: Can’t get the latest Google Framework to load.
problem 3 was resolved kinda by a new build from the developer
Problem 4: Market not showing all apps (protected apps missing)
edit the build.prop using something like root explorer. change the ro.build.fingerprint line to what is shown below (make a backup copy just in case). go into device settings and clear the market cache (not data) and force stop. clear the data for the google framework and force stop. reboot your nook and go into the market. search for something that was missing like vevo. if it apears you should be good.
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2.1/FRG83D/60505:user/release-keys
Mike…
All of a sudden my nooted Nook Color, which has been running beautifully for a long time, refuses to download new apps or updates in the Market app. They are stuck at "Starting download..." forever.
I have tried unmounting/mounting my SD card, and changing my status in Gmail (following instructions in other threads) but to no avail. For obvious reasons I can't toggle between Wifi/3G either. So I don't know what to do...
I have also tried stopping/cancelling all downloads and wiping the data for Market and rebooting the Nook.
OMG! After doing all of the above, in no particular order, when I went into Settings -> Manage Applications, all of a sudden all of the previously stuck downloads downloaded automatically - even the ones I had cancelled.
Now everything is working again. Just thought this might help someone else with the same problem in the future.
Yeah, I have that issue on rooted 1.2. Sometimes the only way to get it working is to clear cache, force stop, or reboot. Annoying, sure, but I don't install that many apps to make me pass on the rooted's better battery life.
Interesting.. I just had the same issue on CM 7.0.2.
I tried everything from other threads with no luck. Then I remembered that I disabled a lot of things with Autostarts. Autostarts is an app that can prevent other apps from starting upon certain events.
Apparently I disabled Marked from starting upon com.android.vending.*, some *intent.RECEIVE and some other events. Once I enabled these events I was able to download and install everything.
I read many people have the same problem and most of them probably don't have Autostarts app. My case could be coincidence or, maybe, some notification mechanism breaks in Android in some cases.

OK, now this is even weirder. I downloaded some new apps and updated all apps that needed updating, but after that no downloads worked again for about 12 hours. But then this morning miraculously they started by themselves - again. Seems very erratic...
Good for you...for me NOT
I have the exact same problem you reported (ie, apps I try to download to my rooted HTC Magic suddenly became stuck in "Starting download..."
I did everything you did and including checking in Settings -> Manage Applications, but all without success. What I have not done is enable "Market from starting upon com.android.vending*, "*intent.RECEIVE and some other events" as suggested by Miksha since I don't have a clue as to how to do that.
So if someone can advise me on how to "enable events" and/or has another solution to offer, I would be appreciative.

If you don't have autostarts app you probably don't need to enable anything. I had to enable events because I disabled them in autostarts prior to that. You could not do that without autostarts.
It is probably possible that events are disabled because of something else. The only way I know to check this is to buy autostarts (one dollar app).
