Hi everyone, so recently I rooted my nook to the CM7. Everything seemed to work fine, till I noticed that I dont have a market (google Play) and when I go Dev tools, it wont let me login to google. It says : the application Dev Tools (process com.android,development) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.) I have tried over and over. and nothing. Also I tried to manually download the APK for the Market, and when i click on it it says the same thing the Dev Tools does for the google login. Someone please help me.

I think it would help because rooting is one thing and installing CM7 is another thing. But I think the most important thing to note is that when you install a new operating system, be it CM7 or CM9, google requires that the GAPPS ( package of Google applications ) must be separate from the OS. So it is always and I repeat always a double step when putting in the new OS. You would load in the operating system and then you would do an second load in of the GAPPS immediately after. Before rebooting. I think a utube video would be good to watch

Hi,
I have just been able to Root my Nook Tablet...but I'm stuck on the "Android Market" step...
I can't seem to be able to install anything simply because I don't have any "android" device associated with my Google Account...
How can I "add" the Nook Tablet as my Android Device in the Android Market?
Many thanks!

When you first go into the android market for the first time, you should be prompted to login to your google account. For me, i had a gmail account and just used that. It will then sync the NT with your google account.
Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I actually did try to login from the NT on the Android Market webpage with my google account and got to the same result....
The Android Market webpage simply complained that I have no android device associated with my google account...

I'm not exactly sure how to fix the problem then. I couldn't buy off the android market because it wasn't sync'd to my device, but as soon as I finished the root, restarted the NT, installed go launcher, and went into google apps on the NT, it sync'd and I was okay to buy apps from either the NT or from the webpage.
You are sure you completed the root process correctly AND restarted the nook (I had to manually restart it after root process because it didn't auto restart, by holding down power button until prompted to shut down, then push ok on screen and then turn back on). The first time I tried rooting I couldn't get google market to sync because I hadn't restarted the nook since I *thought* I was done with root, but really wasn't.

Hi, thanks for the reply...
I actually am not sure I did a restart on the NT after rooting...I was trying to install the Go Launcher EX from the Android Market directly (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&hl=en)...should I try installing a different version Go Launcher from one of the links provided here in the forum?
Thanks again,

The android market will not run until fully rooted, which requires a restart after the nookandzergy.bat file is finished, before you do anything else. If you haven't restarted, try that first. If it still doesn't work, try a factory reset, then do the root again.
Go Launcher EX is what I used. I got it just like Albert did on the youtube video that is linked in Indirect's root post. The only difference is I had to manually restart.

I rooted my nook tablet and downloaded a bunch of apps using the android market. I turned on the device the next day and incerted an sd card which I got from a friend, now the android market just says loading and it does not work, it also says problem loading widget. When I hit the market button it says that the application is not installed, while all the apps previously installed still works. PLEASE HELP me get the market working again.
Thanks

Hi there
I hope someone can help me or give me a pointer. The short story is that Google Play has reverted to the Android Market (v2.3.4) and I can't download anything from the Market.
The longer story is this...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, bought sim-free over a year ago, running Android 2.3.3. Yesterday I had a problem with Google Play not being able to download some apps. This was clearly wrong: I had 1.5GB free of 16GB. In the course of trying to fix this (ha!), and trying to find recovery mode, I borked the device further. Google Play reverted to Android Market v2.3.4, and some apps got messed up in random ways and consistently crashed. I uninstalled some of the crashing apps, but I still cannot download anything from the Market in order to reinstall them.
I've cleared cache and cleared data for various apps and services: Market, Download Manager, Google Play Services (odd that that's still there), Google Services Framework, and maybe some others.
The problem with the Market is that when I touch to download an app it readies itself for the download (moving diagonal lines on the progress bar) and then the progress bar disappears as if it's finished. There is no download, and certainly no install, but no error message either. On the other hand my web-based Google Play account says I've just downloaded it. And meanwhile my web-based Google Play account says there are no devices associated with my account.
Given the situation with Market, I can't even download something like MarketFixer which may help. I can sideload apks, but I can't find a (legitimate-looking) apk like MarketFixer to download.
I've never rooted my device, so I don't expect to have to do that to fix this. Before do a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Nik
Update: Solved in thread below
ah darn!! i thought i could help you, up until the point where you said you didn't root . If you rooted then you could just install the latest version of google play

Thanks for even thinking of that, dragid10.
Hmm... theoretically, if I routed, where would I get the latest version of Google Play from? I can't access the Market, after all.
There are a few threads in the apps forum here on XDA one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932489
I also don't think you need to be rooted to install it. Just make sure you turn on unknown sources from settings(either under applications or security)
Also have you tried uninstalling updates for the market or removing your Google account from your phone and re-adding it.
Edit:Updated thread URL original one was a closed thread.

nsmith4, thank you. That's moved me a bit forward. I couldn't find a Google Play apk, and now I've got Google Play back on my device, and the web version of Google Play knows about my device again.
(I did try to delete my Google account and it refused me. It said it was needed by some applications and should do a factory reset instead!)
So now it seems I'm back to my original problem: I (still) can't download any apps from Google Play because it says (wrongly) there's insufficient space on device. I shall keep looking for an apk of MarketFixer or similar. This problem is now the same as the one reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436188
although of course I cannot download MarketFix to help me fix the market.
Update: That install of Google Play didn't stick. When I rebooted the phone it took me through the Android initiation process (asked for Google username and password) and Market was back in place of Play.
Looks like a problem with factory resetting every time you restart. That is a bigger problem. Google Play will automatically update itself (all update to com.android.vending will).
Try taking the ICS update (if you haven't already), you need a fresh install of the OS. Or you can root and install a ROM. Same thing

You say you "borked the device further". The question is, what happened? What did you do, and what got borked, in what way? If you don't even know, then it will be difficult or impossible to repair. The easiest and fastest solution will be to install a fresh ROM, like Gagdude said.

gagdude, post-mortem: No, I didn't keep a careful record of what I did. The "borking" is a combination of the problems listed above. I'm going to do a factory reset and upgrade to ICS, as suggested, thanks. Will keep you posted.
Mid-point update: Successfully factory reset my phone (Volume up + Power on, factory reset, then reboot). Now my SIM card isn't recognised (sigh).

All of a sudden Google Play Store stopped working. When I try to start it up, I get a screen "Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google Account." and a [Retry] button. When I press the button, I get the same screen again.
I've checked that there's no firewall, my Google Account is working (checked from the PC), I've cleaned the Play Store data, all to no avail. I tried removing the account but that is not allowed, I need to do a factory reset for that -- something that I'm not particularly looking forward to.
Any idea what is going wrong and how I can recover?

When I try this, it asks for confirmation, I press 'Remove account' and then comes a dialog similar to "this account is required by some applications, you can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (...)".

im not sure if u can, but if u installed the market using the froyo gapps installer in a thread from here you should be able to go to settings->applications->manage apps and find play store and click on it and downgrade, a button where uninstall would normally be, also u could tell me ur device and android version and where u installed gpps from, thatd really help me at helping you out

My button reads [Uninstall updates]. After doing so, I get the old Market application again. However, when I start it, I get "Error: Authentication required. Please log into your Google account."

hmm............try using the program u used to install market again, but first try after uninstalling updates to clear cache and data for google services framework and market, and also try to force stop them, otherwise try to reuse the app u used to install market
I removed the google apps and reinstalled them (several times, several ways). Finally success after reinstall using ArcTools. Now I can start Google Play. I asks me to create an account and it seems to work again.
Thanks for the assistance!
Again, I lost Google Play. Same symptoms: it says I need to sign in or create an account first, but doesn't give me the opportunity to do so.
I removed everything Google related. Re-installed Market (using ArcTools) but Market just doesn't get installed. Similar when trying to install Play using ArcTools: all tools get installed but there's no Play.
When restoring Market or Play from backup I have the same problems decribed in the beginning of the message.
Really puzzling - and frustrating.
First, please forgive my lack of knowledge in this area and I truly thank you for taking the time to read my post. My problems were caused when an idiot friend of mine rooted my gpad 8.0 and went on a deleting spree. He totally removed anything with the name "google" as well as a host of other things I don't even know of. Here's my major issues...
1) All Google service including the play store app was deleted so I tried using the play store website which only says "no device found" or "you don't have any devices."
2) When I try adding any type of account to tablet I get box stating "Unfortunately unified EULA has stopped."
3) When I try opening files to help me fix the problem I only get a box reading "cannot open file" or "not supported."
I have done the factory reset and it does not help restore any of the removed items. Am I fighting a losing battle or or is there a way to put the google functions back into it?

All you have to do is install Gapps on your device.
There are many Gapps packages(Google apps) from basic to full function Gapps.
You can visit the opengapps website and download Gapps package you require and flash then using recovery.(assuming you have root and a custom recover installed)
Unlike others apps you cannot install Google apps from apk( apps like Google play store and play servics)
I'm pretty sure this will solve your problem
Please thank this post if this helps you my goal is to become the youngest senior developer on XDA.
Thank you, I should have mentioned there is no recovery installed on the tablet. In the days since I posted my question I did install Gapps but I haven't been able to do anything with it.

That's fine, then the safest way, is to install a stock recovery image of you stock OS. This will be available on your devise's forum. After acquiring the file, you'll need to reboot into Download Mode and install it.(there are different methods for different brands, you can surely find how to install a stock recovery,on your devise's forum.)
Please note that this will erase everything on your device, so consider taking a backup before restoring stock image. This WILL definitely fix it.
