I bought a Nook Color last year. Loved it, but decided to root it. I installed 2.2 on top of the 1.2 update, and used it for a while. A few days ago, it refused to acknowledge the market at all. Whatever I did.
So I decided to return to stock, start from scratch and maybe put CM7 on from a card. After a bit of messing about with the 2 cards I had, I found one that worked and played around for a bit.
Then I tried to reboot and it wouldn't start up. Reformatted the card, put the stuff back on it, and it wouldn't work.
Got it to work, but when I plugged it into my computer, the pc wouldn't recognise it. Neither would Calibre (and if you don't know what that is, what are you doing with a Nook?). So I took the card out, loaded some books, and when I put the card back in, the NC stalled at the "Android" page. Wouldn't boot up. Reformatted the card, redid the install thingie and the NC refused to do anything at all.
You know what? I'm tired of messing about with it, so that this doesn't work and that doesn't work. The Nook Color is a well-built, awesome book reader with an Internet option, and that's all I really need from it. If I want a tablet, I'll buy a tablet. But I can't see the point. I just bought a new ultra light laptop for traveling with rather than getting a tablet, and that's the device I'll use for watching movies, youtube and so on.
People diss the original firmware on the NC, but it's really not bad at all. I'd love a free solitaire app, but apart from that, I'm pretty happy with it. (I live in the UK, so I can't buy the apps).
