flash 10.1 not detected by browser. - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apparently other people have commented in the market as well. Reflashed. Reinstalled. Please help!

I know im not the only one having this problem. People check!

I too am having this very same problem. What makes it worse is I'm on the stock 2.2 rom straight from HTC after a repair (just got it back today, it came preloaded with 2.2). I installed flash from the market, and bam. Nothing.
Very fishy.

I just switched roms and walls. This is about to be a mojor problem. I'm running cm6rc3. Wtf is going on?!

Make sure in the browser, the 'Enable plug-in' option is not set to off.

We are not stupid buddy. This is a real problem..

Checked, no problems, watched a couple of Flash videos. Running Enomther.

If you don't believe me go to the market in the comment section under flash. There a ton of people with the same problem. The pproblem only happens when u have a full wipe and reinstall flash. No noob here. Something is wrong

I just got my magic to nexus one upgrade and I too am having problems with flash.
Downloaded and installed through market
Plugins is enabled in the browser settings.
Tried reinstalling several times
Running stock android 2.2 vodafone rom

I've flashed several roms and its the same across the board. Its either flash or the browser. This sucks! Anyone help? You can't clear cache or settings on flash.

the one from the market doesn't work.
manually downloaded the apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756531 and its working again

Possibly the apk in the Market got corrupted??
Someone should report it to Adobe/Google.

why not try an alternative browser. I doubt it'll work but its one simple troubleshooting step.

I went on there website and sent them an email I will post the reply when I get it

[ThinkTank] Full Flash on Vibrant?

Since the Samsung Vibrant browser has the ability to use plug-ins(like flash lite) would it be possible to Flash 10.1 in place of the flash lite plugin? Developers were able to do this with htc 2.1 phones(and fairly simply too), so it should be able to work on the Galaxy S devices, or any phone that accepts plugins really.
Any thoughts?

I was able to install the Flash 10.1 on my Vibrant and it works pretty good.
Haven't have any problems in loading any flash games or websites.
How were you able to do that? Is there a thread on this elsewhere, or is it something really simple? Please share lol.
+1 on the sharing how you did that. Adobe says its only available on the nx1 running 2.2.
^^^ I had the Adobe Flash APK for 2.1 since I had my HTC Evo.
You can find it here on the HTC Evo Forums or just send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you.
I installed it on my Galaxy S since I got it.
I'm a noob here so I don't know how to post it here.
Here are a couple of pictures.
i did it as well. works great so far

Any real dev wanna give us an answer? i know for a fact that the flash apk that they provided wont work. it only works on HTC devices. A dev needs to modify the apk so it acts as a plugin and installs in the right place.

The pictures I've seen posted here, could have been working using flash lite that's already installed... I can install it and have it show up in my apps list as installed, and still display things using flash light, but if you go to m.flash.com it will tell you that it's not working. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that the people that think this is working, it's not really. They are seeing stuff using flash lite.

[Q] noob needing help to root a 2.2 flashed captivate

Hi guys.
I have my captivate running froyo. that's about all I know, though. I was hoping someone could tell me what rom I am running or distro I am running, because I am clueless. I have heard cognition is good, and if I can update to it without losing all my settings I will (assuming I dont have it now. I could, like i said, clueless.). Here is what my phone says in the about phone section:
Firmware version: 2.2
Model number SAMGSUNG-SGH-I897
Baseband version: I897UCJI6
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee(at)sep-11 #1 (sorry for wording it this way, i could not post the topic with the at symbol because it thought it was an outside link)
Build Number: FROYO.UCJI6
ok, that's everything I think. Now, if someone can help me root this version, that's just dandy. If not, I would be willing to update to one that has a viable root availible for it already. I had eclair rooted before updating to froyo, and I miss my wifi tethering and backups.
Thank you in advance to anyone who offers help, I greatly appreciate it.
Hey I'm sorry I can't really help you, but I'm running the eclair rooted and I've been trying to get wifi tethering working but it just force closes everytime. If you could let me know how you were able to do it or point me in the right direction I'd be forever grateful.

no offense taken, my reason for making a new thread was because I did not what version I was using, and therefore could not sort out what information was applicable. But, either way, thanks!

There is a basic no frills froyo rom in the developement section. I believe its ji6 optimized or something like that. It comes with 2e recovery and root access built in. Sorry I just log off my computer otherwise I would post you links. But backup with tibu. And take a look at that rom in the developement section. You will need rom manager from the market. But after downloading ji6 optimized,copy to your internal sd card. Then open rom manager and select install rom from zip. Select the froyo rom and follow instructions. You will then have a rooted froyo minus att bloat with flash.
I would give more detail but I have thumb cramps now lol. But tomorrow I can help if u need it.

[Q] trouble installing red dawn ROM for cdma hero

Ok, Papa Smurf put together a really good ROM, I'm just such a noob its killing me. All of the Jargon involved in this is very far over my head. whenever one of you guys say any technical term, i literally have to go look the word up. Rooting for most people with a working brain is a cakewalk. That wasn't the case for me. But i stuck in there and got it done.
Then it came time to install the ROM. I looked through the thread that he posted the ROM and never found any real directions. I'm sure this is due to the fact that everyone has enough sense to figure it out on their own.
What i did was went to the ROM manager and installed the ROM, then re-started my phone. it stuck on the htc screen for a minute then the droid eye thing came up and that kept looping. Soo, according to what I understood from the directions....i took the battery out and put it back in. The first problem I am having is how to turn my phone back on now. It's not even recognizing that the charger is plugged in. The second thing i need is for someone to give me any type of directions on hoe to do this the right way. I dont know how to flash the jit file either.
I'm sure i sound like a fool but thats what i am. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who tries to help me.
I got my phone restored back to the way it was before I tried to install the ROM. I just need to get the ROM installed.
I got it I guess. I just restarted my phone about ten times and it eventually took... a red eye popped up and it said "droid" over and over like it has been doing. Then the rotary lock screen came up and i started to set up my phone. but after i finished it went right back to the eye thing. Is it because of the JIT.ZIP file not being installed right?
That's pretty old. Why not try a nice 2.2 or 2.3 based rom? 2.1 is so... old.

Cm7 or aospmod both are fine choices for non sense roms. Not real sure about sense roms, though. LiquidSense, maybe? Remember to wipe everything before you flash a new rom. Dalvik, cache, data all need it when flashing a new one. More than likely, that is what is causing your boot loops. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all were new once. Btw, I said "hard on"! *Beavis laugh*

v4.1.2 JB ROM's Issues

Hi Folks,
I have flashed kallt_kaffe's rom located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28871951&postcount=1
Everything worked except these:
I can't see my galaxy tab anymore on 'my computer' when I connect it via usb. Also Kies can't recognize the tablet.
I have flashed gapps however not everything installed along with it. Google Maps is missing for example and when I try to do a voice call through Gtalk, it shuts down immediately.
What would you suggest?
Just found the solution to the first issue: Enabled MTP device via storage settings.
However looks like Gapps does not install properly; Google Maps is missing and voice/video calls in Gtalk won't work
Re-download gapps and re-flash it. It may be a bad download.

Uninstall gtalk and then reinstall. Get maps and gtalk from the store. That'll probably solve your problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
More importantly, I wouldn't commit to that particular ROM, as the developer abandoned it without warning almost two months ago.
I did it uninstall and then reinstall and it still did not work, so frustrating.
Very strangely, when I accessed the Maps through the store app, it told me that it was not available in my country??
and later I was able to install it through the browser.
Plus when I chose 'all the apps from Google', I could see only the one third of all their apps.
I can't figure this out... only for this I could go back to stock ICS.

i hope its working ok for all who try it out, if anyone wants to reupload it somewhere with faster d/l speeds please feel free to do so and i will put the link in the first post.
I keep getting market force closes. I've tried lost of things - wiping data in the market app in settings->applications->manage applications; reflashing the ROM; wiping Dalvik; wiping data and reflashing the ROM and setting up from scratch. No matter what I do, the market FCs.
Anybody else?

I read all that last night - also droidforums.net. There was never a solution beyond reflash, and nobody ever reported back if they were able to solve it. I don't recall having this problem with Safestrap 1.08 when I tried Liberty before.
Oh well. I'll keep playing around. I tried the vending.apk from Maverick 4.5 but that didn't seem to help either. I also tried turning ads back on in ROM Toolbox. It may be time to go through build.prop or something.

Ok, I got it working. What worked for me is to skip the initial setup of Liberty by doing the four corner trick (i.e, on the "touch the Droid to begin" screen, touch the four corners of the touchable display in the order upper left, upper right, lower right, and lower left; this will skip the setup steps and bring you straight to the home screen). Touching the market after that asks you to log in to a Google account, and this successfully starts the market/play store without a force close.
Breaking my usual rule of not changing two things at once, I also switched from the first ROM slot to my third (I have three slots.) I doubt that made a difference, though.

Hmm, that could be why. I always skip setup via 4 corners, although back when liberty first came out I probably didn't. Although it could be coincidence, as stated in the thread, it seemed kinda random, appearing for some, and being fixed via multiple reflashing.
I've been giving some consideration to going back to liberty for awhile, switch it up. I'll put it to the test if i do

I feel the need to point out that I don't use safe strap but plain old cwm+bootstrap. I have no need to keep a stock partition, plus saftedtrsap mounts roms as loop back devices which is slower. Minimoto is much faster when it's actually my /system and not a mounted. Img

Do you have to change anything to get it to boot in cwm?

I read all that last night - also droidforums.net. There was never a solution beyond reflash, and nobody ever reported back if they were able to solve it. I don't recall having this problem with Safestrap 1.08 when I tried Liberty before.
Oh well. I'll keep playing around. I tried the vending.apk from Maverick 4.5 but that didn't seem to help either. I also tried turning ads back on in ROM Toolbox. It may be time to go through build.prop or something.

I flashed it with safestrap 3.5 and everything works perfect for me. Are you sure you guys used the right gapps? Everything works on my phone.
P.S.......And thanks for updating Liberty to work with Safestrap 3.5..........

Oh, cool. I'm just used to flash my own GApps with Liberty, like before.
Weird, not sure why people are having an issue with it then?

You only need to flash GApps on aosp based roms like cm and aokp. This is due to legal issues, android is open source, gapps are not. Since liberty is heavily modified blur base rather than being compiled from source, gapps are included.

Thanks, I'll have to keep that in mind. I'm not sure if there's anything in a CyanogenMod Gapps that would be bad for Liberty.
Anyway, the four corners trick works, and everything else in setup is easy to re-do. Restoring apps and WiFi access points I do with Titanium anyway, so I don't need to restore from Google.
I have to say that I set this up but went back to Minimoto because I was traveling and I wanted to have a known-good setup. I'll restart with Liberty in a day or two and see how things go.
