Ok I have a android 4.0 ics powered tablet ... its a Coby Kyros MID9742-8 tablet.... and I can't get flash to work. I've downloaded flash 11 from various site but it doesn't work. It installs, but when I'm on the desktop version of sites that have flash supported stuff, all I see is a little blue box with a question mark in it. I can't access the google market directly, so I downloaded the flash apk to my htc amaze from google play and tranferred it to my device like I do with all my apps but to no prevail. Also I have download flash from various sites and it still gives me the same problem... I know its only a coby tablet, but I'm running stock ics 4.0 so I know its capable of running flash. I've read there is flash support for ICS so I don't understand why I'm having problems. Any ideas... please... and some direct apk links to what may have worked for u would be great. Thanks
Have you enabled plugins in the browser settings?
Yes plugins enabled is set to "always on"....

It was worth asking. How about different browsers? It could just be the stock browser that's at fault.
I use the stock browser and have no problems with Flash, but it's on different a different device (SGS2). It doesn't work in Chrome however, so it may be worth trying a couple of different ones.
Ok I got it working.... I downloaded a more updated flash apk from 1mobile.com....
same problem
I Have a Coby MID8042 tablet that also has 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich I have tried and tried to install flash and keep getting the same problems. All I get is the little blue lego with the question mark in it.
I have downloaded the latest version from 1mobile even, still same problem. Mine browser is also set to always allow plug ins, what else can I do? What is a good alternative browser for me to try for someone who is not that computer savvy?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Who are all these tablet manufacturers shipping out tablets with ICS, but without Adobe Flash support or Android Market / Google Play pre-installed?
What were they thinking?

It looks like Coby Germany has released an ICS update for the 7022 | 1125 | 1126 | 8127 Kyros tablets from Coby.
Video:
Apparently I can't post links yet, being new here so here is the youtube code (just do a google search for the following, it should be the first video link) :
rBWeo_rEdcU
Coby Germany Link:
Again, I can't post links so just go to the main cobygermany site, it should be on the front page.
Let me preface this post by stating that I'm a bit of an android newb, so take everything I say here for what that's worth.
The update requires a serial number for the device, mine did not work so I tried the serial number trick (stepping up from the one shown in the above video. The original in the video is 101110010351 if any one is interested.) It wouldn't install until I completed a factory reset in Android 2.3. but ICS is now installed on my Mid1126.
Ok, now for the nitty gritty, HDMI is not working, and WIF is a bit flakey. Also, I can't get the Market to install using this ( youtube s2oXEhqCgcU ) method at least. Also, none of the standard Google apps seem to work, Gmail, Google +, etc. Using any of these I get an error message "Unfortunately, Google Services Framework has stopped"
Anyways, I just thought I'd share this with you all. Looks like Coby has a way to go yet before this version is actually ready for prime time (at least on my mid1126).
Is there a way to revert the device to the stock GB?
i have the same Q.
but there is one more problem, a bigger one. after installing ICS onto Kyros MID1125 I lost the possibility for 3g, for whom I have the hardware for. so how could i fix that, any possibility's for a downgrade via flashing with ODIN?
EDIT: to be more specific there is no option for APN or any kind of mobile network settings, just WiFi .

I install on MPMAN 827. It work very good.
I can give you files for this, I flash with CWM recovery.
I rooted and install Google Play.
Still waiting for an update...
Looks like Coby is dragging it's ass on the promised update... ready next week three weeks ago... Yet I still maintain hope. The current ICS is useable, but just barely.
The Coby German site says -
Tablets with Android 2.3 are now updated with the yet ready patches already included. If you updated your tablet earlier with an update file not containing the patches, you can downgrade to Android 2.3 and update to Android 4.0.3 again. Please contact our support for a description of the procedure. Alternatively the patches will be generally available in a few days.

This is a really confusing block of text... does this mean that 2.3 fixes somehow magically carry over into an ICS upgrade!!?? Would downgrading to 2.3 again and then upgrading to ICS fix everything..??!!
2.3
I reinstall 2.3 again
I don't like ICS, on my tablet is working good
Rooted and with Google Play is Ok.
I waiting the update from Coby Germany.....
Coby Updates
Ok, looks like somewhat good news... this is a Youtube comment response from the dude from Hotodi.tv (from the original 4.3 upgrade video on the Cobygermany.de site) Note: It's a German machine translation, he's not retarded.

So you flashed ICS update fom a zip via recovery, or did you follow the installation process from Coby Germany ?
And to go back to 2.3 have you just restored your nandroid backup or is it an other process ?
Thanks for your help.
EDIT @pixelpump : I can't find update page on coby's website anymore, where did you see this message ?
EDIT2 : no probs anymore, update page came back

Ok, nice !
Where did you find the files ?
ICS Update (v1.1.0025) works fine
I have updated my sons MID7022 like it descripted on the german coby website.
The new Android 4.0.3 version (v1.1.0025) works really fine.
After updating the tablet I rooted it to install the gapps. Now my son is happy to use the play store, gmail etc.
Exclamation on Reboot
Does anyone know how to overcome the problem of the update stalling on reboot with the exclamation mark? I had read that it might be because of low disk space on the download but I did a factory reset and came up with the same problem...
How did you achieve this?
I googled a lot, but didn't find a good "how-to" or I was unable to download the necessary CWM. Do I really need to root to install gapps?
Thanks for your help!

Helpful for me was these thread at Android Tablets. Maybe you can use these description, the long way.
I'm using CWRM4, with version 5 it will not good work as you can read her.
Without root you can't install the gapps. Try these description.
Thank you very much, I'll try that.

And? Have you succes?
Unfortunately no.
CWM wouldn't work, although I have some experience with Android rooting (HTC Sensation). So I decided to return the tablet.
This was my second and last try on a cheapo tablet (first one was a Odys Vision, whos build qualitity was poor, would be a really long list ). I'm going to wait for the Google Nexus or perhaps the Windows 8 Tablets (as replacement for my Laptop).
But again thanks for your effort!
Hi... I tried installing many times TF700 CROMi-Xenogenesis 5.3 - 10.6.1.27.5 , but it is impossible to go backward in the browser, therefore I'm running Stock Root Deodex - 10.6.1.27.5 instead. Just thought I would report this.

Do you have ad blocker installed? This can cause issues. I have disabled/not installed the ad blockers when installing Chromi in the past.
Maybe disable in apps details and test it with/without to see if that resolves it? May need to reboot for it to take effect.
As said back button issues are caused by ad blockers. You can go back BTW sometimes you have to hit it 5 or 6 times in quick succession.
Hi, . . . I'm a Noob to Rooting, get that out of the way.
I just bought a used ASUS TF101A with KB dock off EBay to replace mine that suffered a premature death in a flood. I was running (poorly) the last version of ICS, 4.03 If I recall. This one was advertised as "Excellent" and it is very clean but stinking of cigarette smoke, except that the jerk EBay seller failed to mention that was Rooted and running KatKiss 4.4.4 which I hate, the desktop is essentially blank, there are like 6 apps in the library and no Google Play access.
While I do want to install a "Factory Image" of KitKat 4.4.4 as if it was a OTA install, I want to get this awful KatKiss off, even it it means going back to a restored last version of ICS so I can even use this TF101, which it is completely useless in this state with katKiss.
Not being familiar at all with Rooting and Flashing, can someone please help and direct me on how to:
1 - Remove KatKiss and restore it to at least a full Factory install of ICS with all the original apps, Play access ... well like it wold have been.
2 - OR preferably, install a "street" Factory Image of normal KitKat 4.4.4 - Is that possible at all?
Thanks so so so much and remember you're deal with a Noob.

1. If you un-install KatKiss it will be a huge mistake. There is no better rom for the tf101 than it except for the 5.1.0 version. If you follow the direction word for word from the OP it can't be beat. Tim is also one of the nicest and most helpful devs that I know.
2. No, it's not possible.
There is no "Factory Image" of KitKat 4.4.4. the latest ASUS update was Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), Android 4.0.3.
My opinion is that the KatKiss ROM KitKat 4.4.4 is the best you can install on your TF-101:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592890
A clean install will most likely fix any concerns you may have on this ROM.
If you really want to downgrade to ICS, the easiest way will be to use Easy Flasher:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
You will need to install the APX Drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
TF101 will need to be put into APX mode:
With the device off, hold down the volume up key and the power button at the same time for ~10-15 seconds. It will look like nothing happened but when you connect the cable from your TF101 to computer USB port the APX drivers will get recognized.
You really need to do some reading on the XDA forums before attempting to install anything on your TF101.
Hi guys,
I bought a cheap tablet, It worked fine until i got an update to lollipop, it slowed the device down horribly and it can't multitask at all anymore. Even opening a new tab in google chrome is terrible laggy and slow.
I managed to get the tablet rooted with kingroot, the programs that came with it to clean and speed up the device work great, but the tablet still not works optimal.
When i tried to install the old rom from the asus website in recovery it sayd it cant find the root destination folder or something like that. And rom manager says there is a more recent version of cwm but when i want to install it it says my tablet is not supported. So how can i go back to the kitkat version of the rom? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!
up
anyone?
no one?
