I'm having the same issues as takef0cusin above, arriving in a slightly different way. I was properly registered on 1.0.0 and used auto nooter 2.12.15. That went fine and there were no problems, but I decided to upgrade to 1.0.1 after some Wifi dropping issues. So I decided to flash back the the clean stock ROM.
I did the re-image holding down the power button 8 times, then I did the "three button data reset". Everything seemed to go fine, but it still started with the Logic PD Zoom screen and it never gave me the opportunity to re-register. Owner and Account are listed as unavailable. I then tried again using the "Erase and Deregister Device" method. Same results.
The new icons from the rooting are there, which makes me wonder if I actually had a successful flash back. I tried to register with the Gmail icon. It let me put in my email username and password. I acts like it is going to work, starts to load my conversations, then returns to the NC Home screen. I also tried to go through YouTube, but after registering I get "There was a problem with the network [401]". The Wifi still works, it still gets me the news, but the weather won't load because it says it there's location available.
What do I try next? I'm afraid to do anything because of all the warnings to re-register the NC first thing after any of these upgrades.
Thanks and Happy Holidays, OKMD
I've been through all this twice now. The second time was exactly as you have described and all I did was to redo the 3 button data reset. I was then able to re-register it.
Did it pop up to tell/ask you to register, or did you have to go looking somehow? Mine isn't asking and I don't know how to force it. Thanks.

If memory serves, after clearing data it comes up with screens where you select time zones, state, city, etc and then it asks for your user name and password. All this happens automatically after you do the 3 finger data reset.

Okay now I don't feel so dumb, I renamed the otacerts.zip thing but i am still getting reset
I did find an application that is call BN authentication service. I can't uninstall it from the normal App installer, anyways to get around this? Like ADB
*EDIT*
Ha I feel so dumb, I just needed to reboot, then change the names. So after i changed the names I rebooted again and its all good now
Thanks eyecrispy

I have a rooted nook color with a stock 1.0.1 rom, CWR, and a over clocked kernal. I have only 1 real problem, I guess besides not being able to download from the marketplace - my nook keeps on getting reset by B&N! They don't unroot it, and my recovery is still intact, but it really sucks not being able to connect to their shop. It's not that I would use their shop it's just that I accidentaly press it every now and then and it resets my device. I have to back up my device once everyday to make sure nothing gets deleted because sometimes, even when I don't press the shop button, I don't even have to press anything, it resets the device after its been connected to wi-fi for a while. Like the other day, i just set it down to go to the restroom, I come back to find it at the Android setup or the quick setup selection page. When I select Android setup when I press the little android nothing happens. When I select the B&N quick setup it, i can do that no problem. So now I just turn it off from there and load my back up through CWR.
Anyways, is there anyway to stop it from connecting to the B&N authentication service or something? I have seen people with similar problems, but no one seems to have it happen to them over and over and over again.
Plenty of folks have reported this continuously happening. Have you disabled OTA updates?

Really? All th threads I have read people say it happened once but after a reboot it was fine. Maybe I just missed it. If you could please tell me how to disable OTA updates that would be a big help. Thanks

Found what you meant, I am trying to use Root Explorer but am having no luck. I gave it superuser permissions yet it still wont let me changes any system files
My Nook Color has been rooted on 1.1 using autonooter for the past few months. I wanted to start fresh before updating to 1.2 to avoid any potential problems during the update, so I reverted to the stock, unrooted firmware. I wiped the media partitions and successfully interrupted the boot process 8 times. The Nook reset itself correctly, but it will not register now. I can choose a network, and the NC tells me it is connected, but when I go to the next step, the circle in the center of the screen just keeps spinning. I don't get a message saying I have a bad connection or anything - the timer circle in the center of the screen just keeps spinning. I have turned it on/off, tried multiple wifi networks, and redid the factory install by interrupting the boot process again.... all to no avail. Any ideas as to what the problem is? Ultimately, I'll go back to B&N and see what they can do, but there is none close to me. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.
I had a similar problem this morning under similar circumstances. The device would not re-register. I contacted B&N at 800 843 2665 and requested a manual reset. Be prepared to provide them with the initial set up information including credit card and serial number. Your device should be ready to re-register in 3-4 hours.
Try turning off the Nook and then Hold N+Power button. Follow onscreen instructions.

I'm sure that you know by now that it's a problem with B&N. My nook actually just was able to complete the registration after being out for hours.
I kept getting stuck at the same screen earlier, went online and found out how to skip the registration. I did that, then went and did a factory reset on the nook. Turned it off, and then back on, and I was able to re-register successfully. Coincidence?

A friend is having this problem. Can you post the link showing how to skip registration so we can try this?
Thanks.

Just turn off your Nook and hold N+Power for 6 seconds. Follow the On Screen Instructions and it'll Perform a Factory Reset. That easy.

My warranty expired, so I figured why not root... but it's turned out to be quite the ordeal to get things back in working order.
I unlocked my bootloader, flashed amon ra's recovery, and then tried to flash a pre-rooted gingerbread rom from another sub-forum. I got stuck on the "X" after a reboot, and couldn't get past that after several attempts, so I tried flashing CyanogenMod 7.0.3. That worked, but it really wasn't what I wanted.
A little frustrated, I used the passimg.zip method from the wiki to go back to froyo and let it update back to gingerbread. But the gingerbread update kept failing immediately upon trying to download it. I told it to factory reset and format my sd card, which seemed to fix it enough to download and update successfully.
But now I can't seem to add contacts to my phone. It says the contact is saved, but it doesn't get added to the list. If I dial manually, the name I saved shows up like normal during the call, but is still not displayed in the contact list. I tried loading contacts from my SIM card, but same thing, says they are saved, but nothing is displayed in the list. I looked for settings that may hide them, but couldn't find anything.
I've tried several factory resets now, and reflashing amon ra to preform wipes, but it's the same every time. I can add contacts immediately after a reset's first boot and have them display normally, but if I let the screen timeout, new ones fail to display when added afterwards. Rebooting seems to have no effect.
I feel like I'm missing something simple here, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. It worked fine prior to me mucking with it.
Any ideas on what I can do to solve this?
Accounts and settings. Sync contacts.

I really didn't want to do that, but for some reason it worked.
It added my phone contacts that already displayed normally to "my contacts" in my Gmail account, the ones I added later that refused to display on the phone were added to "other contacts".
Since the sync, I can now add numbers to my phone and they display normally... but why did it do this in the first place? I assume it was something I did when setting my phone back up the way I like it, but what?
I really want to avoid doing it again in the future, it's an annoying step go back into gmail and delete my phone book from it when my N1 borks up like this.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I woke up today to see my captivate screen showing blank screen (active black screen with buttons lighted up) being unresponsive. It was on it's charger from the night.
I pulled the battery to shut it down. It rebooted. I thought nothing about it until I tried to use it about an hour later.
I have had it on stock Froyo, with no root. Never have flashed any other ROM besides updates through kies.
Problems and things I've noticed so far:
No puzzle lock screen. Can't find it under "set screen lock". Only None, Pattern, PIN, Password available.
Home button and search button do not function(they light up like they are pressed, but not action occurs in any apps or home screen).
No data. Usually i'd see edge or 3g, but I have no data connection.
Text messages wiped. None available through "Messages"(though call log shows history of messages).
Keyboard was on stock android rather than swype(since changed back to swype).
Holding power button only shows "Power off" option. Before there was at least Airplane mode.
GPS was on(I hardly ever use it).
Location settings seemed to be default("use wireless networks" was unclicked)
Most other settings/app data seems fine.
About phone info:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-i897

Other related things:
Day or two before I received a text message from AT&T to download Kies and use Froyo(Don't remember exact wording, lost the text message, but something to the effect it looked like a mass mailing text to update to Froyo using Kies). I was already on Froyo(flashed as soon as I found out it was available few months back).
I also got a text message about downloading their at&t app to manage my minutes and pay my bill(also already had that app).
My Captivate would randomly freeze/unresponsive a few times, but I didn't think much of it.
Google Music app seemed to randomly start playing the audio file i paused(just in my pocket, or once when i put headphones in to make a call).
Searching the forums, haven't found too much related.
One thread suggested using "home switcher", which I have tried(both Froyo and regular versions, though can't press home button for Froyo version). Neither seems to know what my default Home App is, but it only sees TwLaucher(I only have TouchWiz).
Tried installing an alternative launcher(ADW,LauncherPro), still no home/search button.
I'm without my computer for the weekend, so I can't backup my files and reset to factory just yet.
Anyone have any thoughts to fix this or know what may have went wrong?
I might finally make the jump to a Custom ROM if it'll fix this.
Yes, you should either flash a custom rom or do a factory reset. I will say an event similar to this, also involving text messaging, is what made me make the leap to Assonance, and then Serendipity, and I haven't looked back.

At the least, try a master reset.
You're not alone....
Two Saturdays ago, I woke up, grabbed my phone to see what time it was and my phone was going haywire. It as blinking, flickering and rebooted on its own a couple of times...without me touching it.
When I DID manage to access the phone after a reboot there was no connection. I couldn't call, send/receive texts, nor could I access most of the features (during one of the haywire moments, the phone popped open my "Gallery" folder and started running a slideshow and then shut down. Again, all without me touching it!) There was a distinct blue circle with a slash where the 3G bars used to be on the top right corner of the phone.
I did a factory reset and didn't help. Wiped everything off the phone, but the device was still going nuts.
I got the phone in mid-December and have absolutely pampered that thing. Never dropped, never scratched, never abused. So I was surprised when I took it into the AT&T replacement center that the lady told me that my battery was wet! Not the phone, but the battery. Those two white-that-turn-pink indicators are so close to each other on the phone that I can't see how one gets wet while the other doesn't.
So they give me a new phone. One thing I noticed right away was that my data usage went WAY UP with the new device. To put it in perspective, I used 100 mb of data in 29 days and 64mb IN ONE DAY with my new phone. I thought it may be a one-time fluke, but it's not. I am only 10 days into my new month and am already at 164mb out of 200mb in my plan. I have NEVER used 164 mb in the 6 months previous, let alone in 10 days.
Fun's not over yet. I noticed a lot of crashes and "Force Closes" with the new phone too. I didn't even have any apps downloaded yet and things were still crashing. Last night I pull my phone out to take a picture and...nope. Screen was all kinds of whacked out and it crashed. And still does now every time I open the camera function. I managed to get in camera mode fast enough to do a reset, but didn't work. The screen is fine otherwise. So looks like I'm back to A&T tomorrow for another round.
I'm glad you posted this, cause the same morning all this happened -- literally, within 10 mins of me waking up -- my computer (brand new - 2 days old) went berserk and shut off and my stereo started flipping channels, turning the volume, treble, bass up and down..BY ITSELF without me touching ANYTHING! It was pretty freaky. I wondered if I was struck by lightning the night before.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
I was finally able to get back home today and do a factory reset. This (somewhat) solved the problem. Everything is mostly back to normal(home button and search button work on home screen, lock screen is there).
Lost a couple of game saves as I had no method to pull a save file(was doing adb pull on some known file locations).
I did run adb logcat before resetting, and home button and search button seemed to trigger something, just not follow through(Search button did work in a card game as a forward button and home button worked in the kies app to exit, just never as a return to home button in apps).
I'll be looking to root and flash a custom ROM, especially root so I can do a proper backup in case anything like this happens again.
I just want to say thank you posting in q&a and doing research before and after your flashing started. Then searched after your problem. You're a new member of a breed that are few and far between. I will hit your thanks when I get on my computer, app doesn't have it. You will go far here.
Phone starts with moving halo and "wissen"... "Is it wiping my phone?"
Just now I took my Nexus 6 out of my pocket because it was very warm.
The screen was all black with in the middle a big Halo moving with the disturbing message "wissen" beneath it.
"wissen" is Dutch for wiping, deleting or removing...
Turning the phone off is possible by holding down the power button for 6 seconds, but then it turns on again after 3 seconds showing that same screen again.
After some fiddling I was able to find a method to turn it off.
I can start the phone by holding down the power button and the volume button (down) which will start the recovery program.
There I can turn it off.
Although I have unlocked the phone and ran modded firmwares I switched to standard factory Nexus 2 years ago and haven't had a rooted phone for all that time.
Recently I installed the 7.1 OTA updated.
I'm afraid this is something like a remote wipe.
It also doesn't ask me to give my PIN which is normal for it to do.
What is happening?
Some more info: Yesterday I bought the "AIO All-in-one Toolbox " after using the free one for 3 weeks. Could that be involved?
It may be formatting and encrypting your data partition.
Yes, but why?
It just went into my pocket this morning....
I came one step further.
As I was still able to get it into fastboot loader I exited with "volume up"
Then it went into an almost normal boot. This didn't require the pin it normally needed.
The device went into a full factory reset.
I thought I would be up and running fast, but after entering my new gmail account/password I got the message that I needed to wait another 24 hours because I did a password reset.
I did this password reset of my Google account out of safety. Now I'm being punished for this....
Luckily I have a spare Motorola G3 with its own SIM, so I can at least use my phone.
I can't even use my Nexus as a phone nor can I go to settings. Maybe if use another Google-account.
Did some more research...
The last Exchange sync was while cycling to work.
Didn't use the phone then nor later.
Because my Google-account is locked I can't do anything with my Phone (not even phone), so I decided to flash an alternate rom on it.
I flashed lineagos and also rooted the device again.
Although I did root my Nexus 6 in the beginning this is the first custom ROM I have on it. I still need to install gapps.
Now I can start using my Titaniumbackup again that I bought several years ago.
I still have no idea how it could have gone into wiping. I put the phone in my pocket while it was screenlocked. The device needs a pincode to unlock.....
I am still unable to use Google Apps. I can run the app, but it doesn't let me install apps.
On the stock rom I was just stuck (stuck rom, haha)..... at the installation screen unable to even make a phone call....
Does someone have any idea???

My idea is that you have the N6 unprotected in your pocket. Moving or cycling caused activation of a factory reset.
