Zips on A Mac

I just tried it using 3.1.0.0 and still getting the same thing. Installation aborted. The only thing I can think of is I am on a mac and when I download a zip file it automatically unzips it. I then re-zipped it and moved it to the sd card. Could this be the problem?

Yes, that is your problem.
Look in the trash for the zip.
After it is unzipped that's where it goes.

Usually on a Mac you can also right click and do a save link as... Of course, this is more complicated when you have sites setting up your download behind the scenes.

Once again, if you are in doubt, check the md5 signature of the file

Mac:

$ md5 somefile.zip
MD5 (somefile.zip) = dc96d998e61d6ba688d6b66dd2fd4238


Linux:
$ md5sum somefile.zip
dc96d998e61d6ba688d6b66dd2fd4238 somefile.zip


Windows:

(I have no idea)

On a related note...

GabrialDestruir - it's a really good idea to sign your zips, just to prevent the soft of chaos going on with the accidental zipping and unzipping of stuff.

You'll need to install a JRE, and grab a copy of signapk.jar and a generate self-signed certificate using OpenSSL.

The result is META-INF contain extra files with SHA1 signatures for each file in your package. It's good practice, and helps dummy-proof things (as much as you can.)


Run once (from say, your homedir):

openssl genrsa -out mykey.pem 1024
openssl req -new -key mykeykey.pem -out myrequest.pem
openssl x509 -req -days 999 -in myrequest.pem -signkey mykey.pem -out mycertificate.pem
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform DER -in mykey.pem -inform PEM -out mykey.pk8 -nocrypt




Run once to sign each new flash-able zip:

java -jar /path/to/signapk.jar ~/mycertificate.pem ~/key.pk8 /path/to/your/update.zip /path/to/output/update-signed.zip




You should end up with something like this in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.0 (Android SignApk)

Name: META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
SHA1-Digest: PJ7vFylIeOGT4m/Fs53DhlWDE4M=

Name: META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
SHA1-Digest: E7EzKPDFfv6egxgfLv0ZIHn7Srk=

Name: system/app/Superuser.apk
SHA1-Digest: dHnhH03xmMdDvUMO9U+UmZaQxzs=

Name: META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
SHA1-Digest: 8n8tDr103eM8ktcLq1LPCc64K4o=

Name: system/bin/su
SHA1-Digest: jt++j0Y063StaUbZSsn33XkWcqM=




This way we dont' have to disable signature checks (which serve the purpose of detecting corrupted (or otherwise altered) zip fiels prior to flashing.

It installed 2 'disk drives' of which I removed. Other than that, no other devices w/ Hardware ID: 2080 present.
I had the same issue you had when doing adb devices and then the list would be blank. It originally had my NC listed under "Portable Devices" as well as "Universal Serial Bus Controllers". I uninstalled the two drivers for Portable devices but until I found the third one (listed as either USB Composite Device or USB Mass Storage Device) w/ Hardware ID 2080, it never worked properly.

I am also running Windows 7 x64, so our setups should be similar.... Hope you find it.

im restoring that app now with titanium. I'll let you know if it works.

There are virtually no apps showing in the market which isn't really surprising. I highly suggest people making a titanium backup before updating to 1.2 and rooting
How did you get Titanium Backup installed after rooting using ManualNooter? I tried downloading it, but it won't install since it is not in /system/apps. How can I get it there without any file managers? I really don't know how to use ADB commands.

In the changelog where it says you got rid of live wallpapers what does that mean?

After HamNCheesing my 1.2 I loaded Google Maps and WPClock and both show up in the Live Wallpapers tab under the stock Home settings. Does ManualNooter disable live wallpapers altogether or what?

For those with missing apps in market this did the trick for me:

STEPS:

1) Already have your Google Account entered into the table & synced.
Settings=> Accounts & sync => Add your account/Sync your account
2) Run Android Market first by using your desktop icon or the applet grid panel choosing the Market app. When run it should produce a Market with missing apps when you search as is usual.
3) Leave the Android Market program running & tap the Home button to go to the desktop.
Replaces 4-6 = Nook Color Tools => All Settings => Manage Applications
4) Tap the Menu button, then select the Settings option in the bottom bar that pops up.
5) Select the Applications option
6) Select the Manage applications option
7) Select the Running TAB to show all running applications.
8) Scroll down the list until you see Market, then select it.
9) Tap on the Clear cache option button
10) Tap on the Force stop option button. DO NOT tap on the Clear data button here under Market, it will break the process I believe!
11) Tap on the Back button to go back to the entire list of running apps.
12) Scroll the app list up until you see the Google Services Framework app & select it.
13) Tap on the Clear data button here first, then tap on the OK button to confirm the action.
13) Tap on the Force close button now.
14) Now tap on the Back button or use the Home button to go back to the main desktop screen.
15) If you have the Market app on your desktop, then tap on it to run it, or open the dockbar applet panel & run Market from there again.
16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
This is good & what seems should happen if all is going well.
17) Now just hold down the On\Off button & then use the shut down menus to shut down the device normally.
18) Now just turn the device back On normally, let it boot to the desktop ... when you get a working Wifi connection, try Market again ... hopefully if all went as it did for me many times, Market should work fully now & show apps that used to be missing! :D

I found this solution on a forum called gadgetsandtablets

Awesome, this worked... thanks!

NOTE: After the reboot, I received "16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."" once again immediately upon attempting to restart the Android Market. I clicked OK and then restarted the Android Market once more and it fired up with apps showing.

EDIT: Not able to install.... just tried to install Titanium Backup and Root Explorer but getting "Download was unsuccessful, please try again." Anyone else with this error?

Well... this did get me an updated list... however (using 1.82) I seem to have ran into the issue with it not downloading/installing again. This was an issue I ran into last night on this version of market and had auto-magically fixed itself.

        • Added: adbWireless



    • Before you begin:
      • To update to 1.2 you must do a complete wipe.
      • You must update to 1.2 to use ManualNooter Instructions Here.
      1. You must already have a registered NOOKcolor
      2. You must have a Google Account, for Gmail, Market, Etc. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
      3. CWM Bootable from SD Card: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987735 - You should always use the Latest CWM Version
        • OR emmc CWM Recovery Installed
      4. You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
    • 1.3 Must do these instructions first with 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16.
    • Let's get started:
      • If you're running a previous MN you do not need to do a complete wipe.
      1. Download ManualNooter from here:
        ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip - 1.3 Only
        ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip
      2. Copy onto your flashable CWM SD card using Windows Explorer, OS X Finder, etc.
        • See step 3 above for how to make a flashable CWM card.
        • DO NOT extract the zip file. It MUST be left as-is.
        • DO NOT copy the zip file into a folder. Leave it at the top directory of your card
      3. Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
      4. Turn off your NookColor (If turned on.)
      5. Insert Flashable CWM SDcard with ManulNooter into your NOOKcolor.
      6. Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)
        • If using Flashable CWM SDCard this should boot you into recovery.
        • If using eMMC CWM Recovery instead of SD CWM Recovery, boot to recovery.
      7. When CWM boots select the update using your Volume Keys and n button:
        • - install zip from sdcard (Volume up 4 times, then n)
        • - choose zip from sdcard (Volume down 1 time, then n)
        • - manualnooter-4-x-x.zip (Hit volume up until you get to it, then n)
          • 1.3 needs to run 4.5.18 before 4.6.16
        • - Confirm that you really want to run the update.
          • Selecting this indicates that you take responsibility for your own actions.
      8. Wait patiently and follow onscreen directions.
        • If you get "Install Failed" after rebooting out of CWM this can be normal. Just reboot again.
      9. After reboot and unlocking your device select Zeam Launcher.
      10. Run Fix Permissions from Rom Manager - 1.3 Only after running 4.6.16
      11. Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service/Sign In.
        • If you get a full application list, you're done!
        • You may not have to Accept Terms and Service or Sign In if you're updating from a previous MN version.
        • If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted.
      12. Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
        • If you want to revert your card to a "usable" state.
      13. Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format
      14. This will wipe your SDCard of all MN/CWM Flashable abilities. If you use this you will have to reflash the SDCard for future MN releases.

    • Complete Wipe:
      1. 8 Failed Boots > Wipes /system
      2. Factory Reset > Wipes /data

        • You must do both of these to completely wipe clean your NOOKcolor.

    From now on if your having an issue here's the format that needs to be used:

    • Rooted with: ManualNooter 4.x.x
    • Kernel:
    • Additional Mods (includes wifi adhoc, etc):

    Then list the problem you're having. The faster we have information about your setup the faster someone can see about helping.


    There's an entire two file change in 4.5.18 from 4.5.6 if your Wifi Adhoc w/e worked on 4.5.6 but doesn't on the update means something else is going wrong, perhaps some settings got changed around the same time you updated. Otherwise if you could use ADB or something to logcat when you try to connect perhaps someone can actually look into it.


    Also all update fixes for market are in the last two versions of MN. IF you're not using at least 4.5.6 then don't ***** when you get "Download Unsuccessful" also don't ***** if you get "Unknown Reason -18" because you decided the OP was too long for your liking and you just couldn't stand to read through it all, there is a current work around for Unknown Reason -18 and I'm currently watching the Kernel that fixes this to make sure it's stable enough for MN release. This will address all market issues with the old market.

    Until someone can find out why the signature checking for 1.2 and Gapps is apparently so strict and or a way to work around it there's NOTHING that can be done to get Newer Market working all nice and perfect (without FCs and such) along with Network Location or Calendar syncing, short of grabbing sets of apps and trying them and hoping like hell you find a set that works.


    Kids Books issues are addressed with 4.5.18 so if you're not using at least 4.5.18 I don't want to hear *****ing from this post on about how they're broken. They were broken the entire time in MN and it was just brought up as soon as I got a replacement SD Card and reader I immediately released an update for MN that addressed this problem.

    Can some people give this updated version a try? Just install this after a fresh upgrade to 1.4.1, no need to install any prier version. I can’t possible test everything out, so I need people to report back with any problems that they run into.

    * This does include the program HomeCatcher.
    * It includes my flashplayer fix, so you should not run into any problems updating adobe flash or air.
    * This will install android market v. 2.12, but will then upgrade to the current one.
    * On first boot, make sure you select the zeam launcher as default.
    * This does NOT have the added kernel file.
    * Don’t consider this a released version.

    I came across something that was missing in the last file, live wallpapers were overlooked, and I did not find that out until tonight. Here is a link for that updated version, I also went ahead and pulled the updated superuser file, and put it into this version. No real need to update from the last one unless you would like to have live wallpapers.

    LINK

    Also, another issue that I would be interested in finding out
    *The individuals that in past could not load MN 4.6.16 because of bootloops, and were stuck with 4.5.18, if this version works correctly?
