I have a rooted Nook tablet which I just created last night by following the 40 minute Albert video on Youtube (his most recent upload)
So I have OTA blocked with a rooted Nooktablet running the ADW launcher (Since that's what Albert chose in that video)
The problem is when I try to purchase an app in the market I get the error "An error occurred while creating your order."
I visited other forum posts that were listed under other devices so I reconfirmed my credit card in my goggle and I was sure to reboot my device.
I also tried going to the droid market website to see if I could purchase it there then just download it over to my Tablet but over there it tells me "There are no Android devices associated with this account.", however all the free apps I've downloaded do show up there so I know I'm on the right account and everything.
I'm not sure what else to do and I couldn't find any specific postings under the nook tablet section outlining a similar problem.
Any ideas?
I have been able to purchase without an issue. Is this your only android device?
I've never owned an android device before, my friend who rooted the same doesn't seem to have any problems so I can't figure out what's wrong. I think the only difference is he went with honeycomb, but that shouldn't make a difference, especially since I can already download free stuff just fine.
Edit:
I think the problem I'm having here is google isn't recognizing my Nook tablet as an android device. I think if I can figure out how to get it to show up as a device on the droid market I should be able to purchase apps just fine.
launchers have no effect. I might try recreating an android account with another email and credit card and see if that fixes it.
Ahh I got it by trying to do a completely unrelated thing!
So what I did was I wanted to somehow make it so i could enter a new email so through a search I found to use Super Manager and to go to the Root directory and go to data/system and delete accounts.db
I did that and when i reentered the market place (After rebooting my device) I decided to enter my original email just for the heck of it, and after reentering everything it happens to work perfectly now and shows up on the droid market website.
Issue Resolved, I hope me sharing what I did helps anyone else who might experience a similar problem in the future.

I have read nearly all the "Market Fix" threads and can't find an answer to this. And I have tried searching as well, but pulled no results from the gTablet forums, so my apologizes if this seems like a double post of something already discussed.
When I access the Android Market via my pc, it says that I do not have any devices and can not install from there. I can merely browse. Now when I first flashed Vegan 5.1.1, I saw my device but now it's gone. I have not changed my account since I started and signing out and back in has not resolved this.
Also is it normal to have to apply the "fix" on a regular basis? Even before my device disappeared from my web settings, I have noticed a few times that my Market web searches often show results my Market app does not.
Thanks.
Does your tablet still have access to the Market?
While it's not typically needed to do the fix "again", I have read and experienced it myself where the Market seems to have reset itself back to its pre-fixed state.
This happened to me when the Market updated itself from 2.x to 2.x1 or whatever version it pushed down. I had to do the Market Fix again after that....this time quite a few times to make it work.
The Market on your device is designed to show you what apps are available for your device (ie hardware features and OS version) while the view you see from the Web is everything, regardless of hardware/OS version.
Do your Market Fix until you have a significantly "full" market and download something from the Market on your device. Check back on the web and see if you see it.
I've switched ROMs and such and still see my device (though it's name/info has changed on the website).
Thaks for your reply.
The market is accessible from my gTab, the device just does not show up via the web Market (either from pc or DolphinHD).
My big concern is that I will be upgrading my phone to a HTC Inspire this week and I want to make sure the apps I have purchased will be available when I add the new phone. If I don't have a device in the web store, will it effect my ability to get to all my apps?
As long as you use the same gmail account on your phone you should be able to get all the apps you purchased.
Not sure why your tablet does not show on the web market. We have 2 phones and the gtab on the same account, and they all show up on the web.
Maybe you find a solution in google help https://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=1141080 or the tab magically shows up once you have your phone.
I'm using the stock os ... and in upgrading my Amazon market have now found that I can't access Amazon App Store any more. I'm told that (everything I try) is incompatible with my device. It used to work, though. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's the answer from Amazon:
Hello Al,
I am truly sorry about the troubles that you have been having. I have contacted our development team about this issue here about one week ago. They informed me that there was a increase devices that are not compatible with our apps, but they did not mean for it to take out almost everything for devices that clearly can handle the apps. They are working on getting it fixed but right now there is now estimated time for them to get this completed.
Thank you for your patients and look forward to seeing your soon.
Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?
EPIC FAIL on Amazons part. On a side note, that was on a Froyo rom (calk+clemv6). I'm now on HC (GTabComb3.3) & Amazon work with it.
i an into this problem last week. Deleted the data and cache from the application itself, re-entered my login information, and everything was magically compatible again.
Go to Settings, applications, manage applications, all, find Amazon appstore, and delete cache, then delete data, force close it. Close settings, restart appstore. You'll need to provide login information again, and it shoul work.
Still getting Not Compatible message in Amazon Appstore
I have a Viewsonic G Tablet with the stock operating system, except I did repatition the sd card. When I loaded everything back up I saw that all of my apps were not in my account. At that time I was able to search manually and find and install them, but now I can't even do that. I tried loading the previous version of the appstore but the apps were still not in my account and when I found them it would redirect me to load them from my account, where they are not at. Has anyone found a way around this yet?

I've run into this as well. Amazon rebuilt their compatibility list at some point and the gTab is not listed as incompatible with nearly every app in the store. The reason your apps don't show up is that incompatible apps are filtered from search results, including your purchased apps. This restriction also seems to apply to the installer as well. Don't know any workarounds. I've already contacted Amazon on multiple occasions to bring this matter to their attention, but no action seems to have been taken.

Worked for me, I was getting increasing numbers of incompatible notifications especially for the free app of the day.
Amazon should learn...
About the only thing that the Amazon market had going for it, other than FAoD, is that I didn't have to worry about apps not appearing in searches because someone didn't recognize my device. As a frequent ROM flasher on a number of android devices, it's a pain when a market search shows up nothing even when you know it's there.
Amazon shouldn't follow google in this. If anything, they can just post a disclaimer "This app is not compatible with your device, if you want to purchase it anyway, click here, waiving any liability if it crashes your device, and indicating that you understand that you won't get a refund if it doesn't work." Or even just give advanced users a flag in their profile to sign this disclaimer once and turn on the ability to download "incompatible" apps.
Sometimes I get error logging that's about it

Anyone experiencing this problem?
This started to happen 2 days ago, when I open Google Play Store app. I just get a "Server Error" message with a retry button.
I tried to clear the app. data, reinstall the apk and even restore the tablet to factory settings to re-root. It's not a connection problem, my phone is connecting fine to Play Store. I cleared dalvik cache too, problem persist.
No trouble here. Running SD Version of CM7.
Mine is still working fine on cm7.
I forgot to mention, I'm using the usual root from SD card provided on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
I'm not on CM7 or anything.
Looks like it's time to try CM7, even after a factory reset and re-root, I get the old Market app and the server error message still shows up.
EDIT
I don't know what is happening here, I installed CM7 and I'm still getting the same error!!!
So guys, I found a solution, it seems that Google started to play dirty with us, I mean, with people who buy android devices outside their country of origin. This problem is described on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24070500#post24070500
This may be a problem to people like me, who lives in a country where some Android devices are not available for sale, or in my case, they are hefty overpriced by local stores, so I just buy off eBay which is much cheaper lol.
I don't understand why Google started to make this, it's so stupid. The solution is, install MarketEnabler and fake your region, and like magic, Android Market (or Google Play Store, whatever) will work again.
Just to make things clear, I tried CM7, CM9, stock + root, wipe caches, data etc and NOTHING worked, Market continued to show the server error message whatever the rom I had.
People outside US or other countries where B&N is not present, be advised, you may encounter some problems with Google Play Store from now on.
No connection from outside the U.S.
I have a NT (Rooted only via SD method) and live in Sweden and haven't had problems. Love it.
However, while here on a course in Switzerland I suddenly got the same problem. Server error...
I freaked out and began clearing cache, data, reset the google account everything. No luck.
A fellow nook owner from no less than Switzerland told me to be patient and try from the hotel wifi instead of the company guest wifi. Needless to say it worked just fine from the Hotel WiFi when I got back.
Whew.
So my advice is to give it a try from another hotspot and see if you have better luck. It could be getting blocked.
Confirming this error. I am also getting this "Server Error" with a retry button. Haven't tried MarketEnabler. Will report if it works.
I have seen similar posts on xda on different device forums.
Yes. MarketEnabler DOES fixes the problem. Just browsed to ME's googlecode site and downloaded the latest version(3.1.1.3 to be exact). Set a US carrier; everything solved.
To people with sd card root method, do not panic and try to reset your accounts on the tablet, you'll end with a factory reset screen and will loose all your data.
I learned this the hard way lol, I had to re-root and install gapps again (SD card method), but since Market was blocked, after rooting, I had to use adb to install MarketEnabler to gain access to market again and download GoLauncher, NT Hidden Settings and etc.
Now I backed up everything, if some disaster happens again, I'll just restore with CWM.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
Working again???
On Tuesday it wasn't working. Now I am back to the same company wifi and it is working again. I haven't installed Market Enabler.
Perhaps it was a temporary thing?
Anyway, I think I'll go ahead and install it because while Play works, I can't find much at all, so it certainly filter's on my country location. (currently Switzerland).
EDIT...
Just installed MarketEnabler(3.1.1.3) from a backup (since I couldn't find it over here...)
Now I see TONS of apps again.
So, for those of you outside the U.S. I recommend Enabler. You can switch between local and U.S. from the settings list. NICE.
Just be sure to restart Play.
Yes, I think it was temporary. Yesterday at 01:00 am Market became unavailable for about 10 minutes for my phone and tablet, when I saw this I thought "not again, and now on both my android devices?" and I thought market enabler was blocked or something, but I waited a little and market came back online after a few minutes. During this time, I restarted my nook, and by making this, market enabler changes are removed, but I could access the market without faking my region.
It seems that Google is making some chances on market and perhaps screwed something and took a few days to fix.

I started having this problem a couple of days ago myself and I'm in the US. I haven't found a fix. Am on a staighted rooted NT. CM7 on SD suddenly started having WIFI issues so I took it off.
I'll let you know if I get it fixed....

Ok, so, yes I am a rooted user of the Nook Tablet but before I rooted I purchased some apps on the Nook Shop and thus primarily use that to install and update them rather than pay for them twice and all.
I recently had some issues with one of the apps so I archived it and then unarchived it. Only to find that it would not install again! It just hangs at the "install" tag below the app icon in the Library. I can download books and magazines from the Nook Shop and apps appear to download but hang on the install process.
I am running v1.4.3 and I am pretty sure this must have something to do with my rooting of the device. I really can't imagine going back to a non-rooted device and don't really want to buy the apps again. I have tried this with other apps in the Nook Shop (free ones like Skitch and Evernote) only to find that they do the exact same thing. In fact, any time I want to even update an app that is in the Nook Shop it does this.
I'm really at a loss here.

Since no one else has replied I'll give you a thought. I have never run 1.4.3 so keep that in mind.
My guess is the process you used to root did more than just root and therein lies your problem. I think 1.4.3 may be smarter about changes than previous versions.
Otherwise think of other changes that you may made and not mentioned build.prop, etc.
All of this is just guessing but may give you a new way to look at your problem and find a solution. I have seen this complaint several times but didn't read the posts because I had nothing to offer; maybe you could learn more with a search.
Good Luck!

Hey, I'm new to the forum and wanted to say thanks in advance for the help and to mention that I searched the forum before posting so I apologize if I've overlooked something.
I recently purchased a Polaroid PMID720 dual core Android 4.1 tablet to keep myself busy at work and I don't have access to the Google Play store, I had purchased a Polaroid PMID701 for my daugher for Christmas and had no problem getting the Google Market installed but so far I haven't been able to do the same with this one. I initially triend installing the older Google Market following the instructions found at the-digital-reader website (these are the instructions I used for my daughter's 701) but after I get it installed and attempt to start the app it crashes when I try to add my Google account. While searching I've stumbled onto the thread for the Polaroid AIO software several times but Southern Telecom (the company that makes the Polaroid tablets) doesn't offer the firmware for the PMID720 on their website.
I know that this is far from a high end tablet - it was purchased to watch a few videos, read some ebooks, and screw around on the web when I'm dead at work - but not having access to the Google Play store severly limits its usefulness (the Amazon store suuuucks). Any advice is appreciated and, again, thanks in advance for the help.

Google: "Installing Google Play without rooting on Android Mobiles or Tablets"
I cannot enter the url. I had the same exact problem as you. This method has worked for me (I also have PMID720 and got the same error as you when following the instructions that worked with earlier models).
While I was able to get Android Market installed, Google Services seemed to crash constantly. Also, none of the music apps running on the PMID720 recognized the playlists on my SD card (the same playlists that worked flawlessly on my old Emerson EMS543 and another Android device).
So, my solution was to return the PMID720 and exchange for a PMID705. Yes, it's slightly slower and less memory, but everything works: Android Market, Play Lists, etc... And, it was $30 cheaper.
I followed the instructions at:
http://www.the-digital-reader.com/2...ps-gplay-etc-on-polaroi-pmid701/#.UN48FG9X2WZ
The Play Store would say 'blah no data provisioning' or 'no reliable service...'.
I then went to Settings>Accessibility and at the bottom there is box to enhance web accessibility. I turned that on and launched the Market and followed the prompts. Afterwards a Google account was in my settings and I could access my apps at the Play Store. I then reset the Accessibility setting to 'Not Allowed' because I do not know what all it does.
I should also mention that I altered my '/etc/hosts' file, but I am not sure that was needed. I immediately downloaded the XDA app and saw your post. Wierd, huh?
Hope this helps.
Edit: I erased the google market and retried my steps and they failed. I had to install the apps in this order to get it to work again (I did leave the Accessiblity feature on again):
1) OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk
2) SetupWizard.apk
3) GoogleServicesFramework-signed.apk
4) vending-3.1.3-signed.apk
When I tried to connect with my gmail I got the same errors as above until I rebooted my tablet, it then finally connected. I sincerely hope this works for you. Also if you have installed any of the above, delete their data and reinstall.

I followed your instructions, but after the reboot, I still got the no data provisioning error. I then toggled the wifi to airplane mode and back and then I was able to sign in and download apps from the Market and the Gmail app began syncing. Chuck

That post will tell you all you need to know to get Google Play Store (the ICS version, whatever that was) on your PMID720. I just finished doing it, and it is working fine. If only my wireless at home was! lol
I used the wireless adb portion of the play_alpha2 package. It worked flawlessly, once I realized which copy I needed to download. They all have exactly the same name, but they're not all identical packages.
Good luck!

Updated method!!!
I can't be the only one out here still using this tablet and trying to figure out how to improve it! The Google Apps are still working just fine. No forced closes or errors of any kind. I am pleased as punch about this, but it's kinda frustrating to come in so late in the game and find nobody looking anymore.
