Ever since the 3.2 update I haven't been able to view any flash files in the browser... I've tried stock rom, prime, and revolver, stock browser, firefox, and sky-something.
Is anyone else having this issue, or is there a know fix about it?
(I've tried installing/uninstalling the adobe flash app :/)
I just recently purchased a transformer from a friend. It's a B40 and I reset the software and updated the latest and greatest firmware. It's straight stock and is not rooted. I installed the latest Flash from the market place and embedded flash in the browser is not watchable. It stutters. I read this thread and it seems I need to have CWM/root to fix this problem. Is there a way to fix it without installing CWM/root? At this point in time I'd rather stick with a stock tablet. I already spend too much time messing with my Epic 4g.
I have the same b40 and just recently rooted, but prior to that I had no issues playing any flash content. My biggest issue was the typing lag which now is gone.
I'm on revolver. Blades #20 kernel and thumb keyboard..and stock browser
By the way, could it be that your friend rooted the device and flashed a stock Rom

I don't believe its rooted since I upgraded to the latest OTA firmware. I read that it would not update if you are rooted.
Try Opera
I've been using Opera Mini for websites especially flash heavy ones like gametrailers and it has transformed by experience of the transformer Very quick and the flash is silky smooth. Definitely one to try before going down the root path?
And no, I don't work for Opera.....
Ok..I always try to figure it out by searching the forums...could not get there this time. I had Humbles rom on the phone...then I realized I should update my Baseband...so the mission starts.. I started on Basband ep3 on both the first and second lines..after reading it sounded like I needed to flash back to stock to get the update to ee4....I first deactivated voodo by adding the file directly ...reset phone then waited while the sexy voice said it was deactivated... then I flashed the stock rom...when I powered up the the phone on stock ...it did download the update...while installing the update it crashes and does not install correctly...so after messing around I re-flashed the stock rom and then downloaded the update again.....same thing happened.....then after reading some more I thought maybe my partitions where jacked so I flashed charge.pit ...now my phone wouldn't even show signs of life...stressing a bit ....I was able to flash Hummble 4.0 which brought my phone back to life...happy that it is working I'm now back where I originally started but now I'm on Ep1...even worse than before I started..lol
Does anyone have any ideas why it would not update? any help would be great!
Ep3 is the newest radio version. Ep1 is the second newest. And ee4 is the oldest. So you were really trying to unupdate. You are fine with the ep1 modems. But if you want to upgrade flash the ep3h radios through Odin.

Yep
I'm confused....thanks for the clarification.... I thought I had to go to stock to get any updates...whats with all the posts talking about that?
any quick link to where I could download the ep3 for odin? much appreciated

Here ya go - EP3 Modem
The only reason you ever need to go back to stock is if you want to "unroot" your phone or to fix soft bricks. The baseband version corrosponds to the type of radios your phone is running (how you get your signal). And the radios are always independent of your ROM. Here's a short overview of the different radios from beginning to present.
ED1: Original charge modem. (sucked).
ED2: still sucks.
EE4: Latest official update for the droid charge. This is the radio that most Froyo Roms are based off of.
<I'm going to skip over a few because they are kind of non-existant now>
EP1Q: A leaked Gingerbread Radio. Significant improvements in signal strength.
EP1W: Improves upon EP1Q radio by handling data switching better. (A lot of Gingerbread ROMS are based off of this radio).
EP3H: The newest radio and probably the best. Some small improvements in data switching and got rid of occasional "popping" sounds from EP1W radio. Most of the newest ROMS use this radio as a base (Meaning they are optimized to use this radio).
Long story short, use the latest Radios. They always bring improvements. =)

Guys - even if it's an older version of Hneycomb in NVFlash format, it will still help...
Here is what I'd recommend (as it worked perfectly for me) - it 10 easy steps!
1. Download this stock Honeycomb image in NVFlash format. It's not the latest version of Honeycomb, but it really doesn't matter, becuase once you install and root it, you are just going to install CWM recovery and install a custom Honeycom ROM over top of it anyway (which IS based on the latest version of Honeycomb):

2. Download rootkit for above version of Honeycomb:
http://www.4shared.com/rar/-IYDraGZ/Brkroottoolkitv71.html?
3. Download CWM Recovery.
4. NVFlash the image downloaded in step 1.
5. Boot Honeycomb (skip all configurations!) and then root it using the rootkit downloaded in step 2.
6. After Honeycomb is rooted, install CWM Recovery downloaded in step 3.
7. Download Revolver 3.11 and 3.11.1 patch
8. Install Revolver 3.11 via CWM.
9. Install Revolver 3.11.1 patch via CWM.
10. Enjoy Honeycomb stability again!
Or something close to that....

The problem with HC revolver was that it took to long to boot up. Prime ROM did not have the same problem.

Why is the boot-time such a big deal? I never reboot my device (at least now that I'm not on ICS anymore!), so the boot-time is almost meaningless...
I guess if you turn your device off every time you use it, that would be a pain.
Probably the reason that Revolver takes longer is becuase of what it's doing at boot-time (optimatizations, etc)...

If you are willing to root and flash custom roms, first try a custom ICS rom in combination with a custom kernel instead of going back to honeycomb.
A lot of people got good results by using guevor's latest kernel.
Yeah that's what I'm trying to decide cause I need my pad daily use with not to much reboota and sods

I have already rooted my TF and made ready for a custom rom, but it seems that there is a fix available
[Kernel] ICS test (OC, UV) (test13) V9.2.2.3
Between HC and ICS, I thing ICS is far better (except for the stability issues), so I will give this a shot first before downgrading to HC.
As per my question on this thread HC Revolver sounds as a choice to many XDA members, so plan B should be this one.
some issues
Is revolver more stable now? I could never get the vga adapter to work. or it simply not freezing. This was last november.
If you're willing to go through the trouble to downgrade, you may as well just flash guevors test kernel or the TastyMehIcs kernel (in my sig) to fix the ics problems. I've had no problems on ARHD/Megatron with tastymeh 1.0 at all.
Edit: just looked at my uptime (I don't ever turn off really) 232 hours since last turnoff. That's stable enough for me!
I wanna know what good HC ROMs are out there too.
SoD doesn't happen to me at all, but I'm sick of the graphical glitches that are present throughout the ICS ROMs. People say it's only when you press recents - not true for me. I get it pressing recents, browsing youtube, in the nvidia apps, playing games, sometimes at the home screen, settings menu, etc.
It's very brief, but at the frequency it occurs, it's annoying. I want to know if it's present in HC as well. When I was on HC I never noticed it, but my device was on HC for maybe a total of two hours, so idk. The screen rotation thing is kinda annoying to. You turn the device, screen goes black for like a second, then it does the rotation animation. Things like that bother me cause it's not like that on my phone, even when I run ICS on that and it's not even receiving an ICS update.

Be patient - we're beta testing a beta release now (.24) and it seems that the graphical glitches are fixed (I KNOW the recent-apps "diagonal tearing" is fixed at least) - I've never noticed any other glitches, to be honest...

I wouldn't trust a rootkit , especially one hosted on 4shared. Just saying. A link to the original post would be nice.

I haven't noticed these issues on the ROMs I've tried. And revolver is by far the best HC based ROM.

Actually, that 4shared link is the link from the original post - I just copied the link here... I've personally used it and it's fine...

Turns out a lot of my issues were eliminated by flashing revolver and the androidhd builds,.probably cause they're essentially the stock ICS build.

Thanks for guide.
I just found out I have a b50, and tried NVFLASH of ICS... worked for maybe 2-3 hrs, thought there was hope... and now it just froze playing music.
If this thing cannot even play music without glitching, whats the point really at all?
If this HC downgrade (and stay there) doesn't work, I'm selling this ASAP.
Hi all. I have a i9300 (S3 Int'l) that is a really good phone. I currently run Liquid Smooth on it and have it available to run on both ICS and KK, by restoring through CWM. Question, if I get a new addition phone, will I be able to get a current Lollipop phone to flash a version of ICS? I use Floating Browser Flux a lot to stream TV and ICS still supports flash with that brower. On KK, though, the brower works, but no flash. I'd like anS6 or something with similar hardware, but want the ability to use a floating browser with flash support. Any ideas?
Thanks!
