I purchased my TF701 last Friday and missed the boat on getting Adobe Flash installed before the August 15 Google Play cut off for Android 4.0.3 devices.
I tried following the Flash install instructions they have for JellyBean.
I've downloaded the apk files from adobe.
I tried version 11 and version 10.3.
After I install the file, it appears to have loaded, but despite trying every browser (including boat, dolphin, firefox), all I get is the blue lego with a question mark where video should be.
My device was purchased in Canada. Google Play says Adobe Flash 11 is not available in my country.
I usually open my browser after factory reset and they ask me if I want to install Adobe Flash Player. I say Yes and they take me to the Play Store to install the flash player.

Did you make sure you have the plug-ins set to On Demand, Never, or Always in the browser.
I always set mine to On Demand and it appears just like you stated above, until I click it, then it will play (hence, On Demand)
Try that...
Download Market Enabler from the Play Store.
I will try on demand tonight when I get home. I did try "never" and "Always" for plugins last night.
For those who are looking for Market Enabler, I found it at:
code.google.com/p/market-enabler
Through a combination of Rooting my device, markat enabler and/or choosing "on-demand" I got flash to work. Thanks to all for the assistance.

What's a tf701? I want one!
Joking aside, try chrome or opera. Those two give me the best flash anyway.

As far as I know the default Browser is a version of Chrome and this version allows the side-load of Flash. Chrome Browser on its own, as an app, has a Flash support built in, I think! On this I could be wrong as I don't use it because the Android version doesn't allow extensions and the only reason I would use it is if I could run Adblock. :crying:
Chrome on Android does not support flash. I go to few sites that require it for viewing video and wants an updated version.
I was able to side load Flash Player, from TB. I did get my TB file from a TF700T. I confirmed it installed and was working in Dolphin for Pad.
I have no idea it made a difference or not, but I rooted my 700 first thing. It's still locked and running stock (like there's is much choice for alternative daily drivers).

Chrome for android does not support flash. Google has openly stated it will never support flash in preference for newer and better things to come. Flash is being phased out. Deal with it.
Try Dolphin or Boat browser on Android, those are the two highest rated ones, most people on these forums say either one is excellent depending on your needs.

No need to be so snippy. Flash may be phased out some time in the future, but it's not phased out right now. And some of us depend on Flash to view live newscasts such as streaming CNN, streaming a weather channel, etc.
I switched to Android several years ago specifically due to Flash support. And I will keep my Android phone and tablet on a version of Android that supports Flash so long as Flash is still being used on the sites that I visit.
On a side note, thanks to Splashtop, I can watch Flash streams and videos from my PC, even after Android stops supporting Flash.
It is confirmed that Flash is supported and working in Jellybean, so there's still some time yet.

Yep, I use Boat for Flash without being rooted.
Chrome on Android has NO Flash support, at all. No plugin support of any kind, in fact.
The problem is that most sites are never going to get rid of Flash. A lot of webdevelopers are lazy, they don't want to learn HTML5. Thus, we'll need Flash for at least another decade, maybe two.
Did you bother following this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
I love my android devices, but the lack of flash kills web browsing - and thats 50% of what many people use these tablets for.
If the new Windows RT and Windows 8 tablets have full flash support its not going to help Android or iDevice sales.
I'm getting really tired of having empty blank boxes on news sites where a video is supposed to be - even with the current adobe flash side-loaded there's still stuff that doesn't work on Android, because there is zero effort now to support it.
If the new Windows tablets provide fast web browsing with full Flash support that resembles a PC browser I will consider them.
I suppose everyone will argue that there will be zero app support. But for many people a tablet has to do only 4 things:
1. Browse the Web
2. Play audio and video files
3. Allow you to view and work with documents
4. Play games
If windows RT/8 solves the first 3 I can overlook the 4th. If it can do all 4 its a home run.

Struggled with a friend's transformer. Finally updated to Asus Jellybean. Googled helpx.adobe.com android versions. Sideloaded the latest version, and it works like a charm.
This is kinda strange.
Even the framework may be different, Flash works with Note 3 (4.3) and Note 8.0 (4.2.2) in combination with Dolphin.
Here is a Adobe Flash apk that will install on your TF701:

Has anyone had any problems with the official 4.0.4 upgrade? Since it is 4.0.4, it should be able to play Flash, correct?
Well yes but flash is not on the market anymore , you need to install it yourself from a different source, pm with your email if you want it.

I'd appreciate if I could get it. For those of you who have upgraded, try to play an episode from Modern Family, etc. on abc.go.com/watch. It doesn't play properly but it did under Honeycomb.
That's because as BTRL30NTM mentioned, Google Dropped Flash Support in 4.04. You can side load it as he also mentioned and it works fine. Unfortunately, it will probably get harder and harder to support it in the future as Adobe starts to faze it out.

It may be more than just a flash issue with ABC player. ABC player runs fine on my pan tech element but not on my galaxy 8.9 both upgraded to 4.0.4. On my galaxy in Firefox, it just produces static like lines.
Within the last few days, Amazon updated kindle fire is to include a bunch of new features. Before the update, I had side loaded many of the Google apps, including of course the compulsory Google play services.
However, after the update, I could not start the YouTube app whatsoever. I tried many combinations of old versions of the YouTube app, and old versions of the Google play services app, but it still did not work. I then tried using the google play music app, which told me that google play services was not supported on the device. I could not even open Google settings.
The update was to kindle fire os 4.1.1, and to android 4.4.2.
Is this a problem that many people are having, or is it just me? Are there any work arounds?
So it's been about 2 months since I recieved my Remix Mini and I really like it. The biggest reason is access to Google Play games and apps on the desktop. But a big dealbreaker for me is that Google Play Music doesn't work. I saw in Jide Support that they were working on fixing it back in December and I'd like to know what has been done to fix this since then.
Hey,
May I ask more contextual details about the issue you are referring? Some of reported issues of Google Play Music have been solved in Version 2.0.111. For the best experience, please always make sure your Remix OS is on the latest version.
Cheers
Cameron
Yes, I am on version 2.0.111 and Google Play Music still will not play anything.
Our engineering team is working on a fix around this issue. We will release this fix soon.
