Even tho you have flash player, there are some sites where its not supported. Such as hulu, hbo. Its like that on any 2.2 rom.
That is the latest version of Flash for Android. I just tested using two browsers and HBO was telling me the same, however, I also check a site that I have watched video on before, CNET.com and was able to watch. It's certain sites that we still can't access but most work fine. I'm seeing conflicting info about the version for PC for instance I have installed 1.1.85.3 and there is a version available that is 10.1.102.64. So bottom line is my previous sentence. But iI did notice that HBO offers an Iphone app.
Update; Only referenced the PC versions to show that there are multiple versions of flash.
As others stated, there is nothing wrong with flash. The sites are blocking what devices access their videos. At one point android users were able to access hulu videos by using skyfire. The next day Hulu blocked it. It's not an axura issue, or an android issue. It's a content provider decision. I hope that helps.

amazing what you find when you LOOK in the right place. People posting questions in the development section sure does get old quick.
hello everyone on XDA-Developers
i recently bought a Viewsonic Viewpad 7, i really like the tablet, but yet it annoies me alot due to i can not install flash at all!, i have tried every diffenent methord to try and install flash on the tab, everything from the offical market, the adobe website (both which when i try and download the file for it, says that the page is unavalable, basiclly means its blocking me) i have tried installing as APK files, diffnenent markets, rooting the tablet, everything! but i am still unable to install flash player on to the tab. i have read online that their was ment to be an offical version of it going to be released for it, but due to some legal issues or something they stopped it, even though they finished development for it. so i am wondering if anyone has been able to install flash onto the view pad 7 through some methord, like i have the tablet rooted incase it will require a methord being done through that, but yet i have currently tried evvery methord i have thought off and researched about. if anyone can help, please do, like i would not mind that if their was a app which can play SWF files without adobe flash that i could download from somewhere. like all flash operners require adobe flash to run, so they are abit silly.
anyways, i hope someone can help me then, i really do not want to get a diffenent tablet, like i really like the viewpad 7 compared to the others i have tried.
please help if you can,
with thanks

I just hot my S3 today and I am struggling with all the new information I have to study here . I was an HTC user all this years so terms like Odin are pretty new to me. Beyond that I have a mac . Very bad combination with Samsung mobile phones. Not even android file transfer is working at the moment. I tried first to accomplish all the rooting and recovery procedure with virtual machine of Windows 7 but the phone is not available to the guest,when it is in download mode. So I thought I will give Heimdall a try eventhouh Odin seems a far better solution. I don't know which programm is better but Heimdall has very bad documentation. So back the subject. I saw numerous complaints about Heimdall 1.3.2 so I decided to start with 1.3.1. My first question is about the pit file. It is not clear to me if I have to extract it from my device and if yes, how can I do this? Does anyone here has experience with this particular software ,to use it under OSX as a daily driver?

Yes and partially negative:
I have flashed the CWM and all went fine.
I have then tried to flash a new stock rom, all went fine and no errors in the program, but then the phone was not working:
it was saying no SIM card installed and was lagged in every operation.
I had to find a Windows PC and reflash with Odin to have my GS3 work again, i suppose Heimdall soft-bricked it, at least the modem part.
To be honest i created myself a Heimdall package with the files of the unpacked stock rom and my own phone downloaded PIT.
But even if i'm pretty sure i did all in the right way, the flashing result was a dead phone.
So, use it with caution ...
My stats: Fairly comfortable with computer and other forms of tech, but have only recently began diving into the Android system. I have limited development/programming experience, however, I'm not a novice or noob to it but definitely not advanced. Importantly for those willing to help I understand most terminology and can follow instructions. Thanks in advance.
Phone Stats: AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717
Android Version: 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)
Baseband Version: i717UCLF6
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.11
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UCLA1
Root Access: Yes
Stock Rom: Unsure, bought online.
Carrier/Service Provider: Straight Talk (U.S.) Phone was previously used on the AT&T network exclusively, and done so with an AT&T provided SIM card. After I purchased it, I ordered a new SIM card from Straight Talk (U.S.) and reprogrammed the APN settings under their instruction in order for my phone service to work correctly, and have had no problems with that.
I can't stand being on Gingerbread any longer. I guess, since my phone is an AT&T phone but I'm using it through Straight Talk I can't get any of the OTA updates. I've tried downloading the OTA's several times, both, prior to and post Root access without success in either case.
So here are my questions:
1. Am I doing something incorrectly which might be keeping me from getting OTA updates? Please remember, I've tried downloading the OTA's several times both with and without Root Access and the conclusion is the same each time: "No Updates Available At This Time. Your Phone Appears To Be Up To Date. Try Again In 24hrs."
2. Is my only option at this point to manually update to a newer firmware? If so, should I update to a newer STOCK version or a custom ROM version?
3. If a manual update is the option, after reading my above outline of my own experience with the Android system, what would be way to go? Simple, not overly complex yet doesn't assume the user is either a complete moron or can write code in his sleep. I've checked into a couple of options. Rom Manager seems like it would be a nice route to go, but in the Recovery Setup portion I basically get told I can't use that application because my specific device isn't supported.
I checked out GooManager and, unless it's just me, it seems like it's an app that likes to do all the work without telling you what it's doing exactly, but when it does ask me or tell me information, I'm not always sure how to answer or react to it's warnings.
Plus, I've noticed that sometimes when downloading a ROM, sometimes I have to "flash" the gapps myself and other times I don't.
4. Is it easier to download everything separately and apply them one by one, for example the ROM then gapps then Kernal...etc? Or look for something that has it all in one package?
I have a laptop in which I can download/transfer programs and apps between it and my Note so download space and internet access isn't a problem.
Also, it most likely isn't information that is going to help in anyway, but I live in Oklahoma, United States of America.
Thanks for all the feedback...UnluckyOnion
I'm not answering these in any specific order,
As I kinda just sped read thru most of it...
Since you're rooted, or know how to, goomanager is superior to Rom manager.
It supports this device and has a current version of twrp to install, instead of an outdated cwm.
Just use it to install recovery, then boot your device into recovery and use that. Not the app. You'll be provided with much more information and this is the preferred way of flashing.
Official Updates are always "manual" either with a less than user friendly program called kies, or with a less annoying way (which you may be familiar with seeing as you've rooted) ODIN. Both pc programs used with the phone in download mode connected with usb cable.
Gapps are only needed to flash separately with an aosp based Rom as it's against Google's T.o.S. to include them in am entirely aftermarket compiled firmware, however if it's a Modified version of a stock based Rom (in this case TouchWiz) they can be, and thusly are, included within.
Official or custom is up to you really.
If official..just grab the .tar and flash it with Odin.
If custom, obtain a custom recovery either the way i mentioned above or downloading a .tar of twrp and use Odin to flash that.
Once you have a custom recovery, you'll simply be able to flash a Rom from there.
Roms include a kernel, if you want to use a different one than what is included, that would be flashed after the Rom.
After flashing you'll have to input your carriers apn settings in again.

Thanks for all the information and help...more importantly, thanks for taking the time. I have ODIN on my laptop and have always used it when needed but I saw a highly rated and positively commented Mobile version of ODIN in the Play Store that claims you can do everything from the convenience of your phone which sounds appealing, however it's kinda pricey, especially if it doesn't work. Would you recommend the mobile version or PC version? Also, I have been doing a lot of ROM and Root research as of late, and wondered something...Why so many different Galaxy Note's? It seems as though I have the least popular version with the most popular being from the Galaxy Note "N" series, specifically the N7000. If I download and use an application that says it's meant for the Galaxy Note N7000 and I use it on my Galaxy Note SGH-i717, what will happen? Nothing, something, brick, work perfectly, etc...?
The N series is not carrier branded and sold internationally, so naturally it's more popular compared to a north American variant.
DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FOR THE N7000
IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
The international version has a different cpu, gpu and antenna, for north American LTE bands to work those key components needed to be different.
So I say again just to stress:
DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FOR THE N7000
IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
As for Odin, you're either going to flashing a stock firmware, or if you choose a custom Rom, you'll only need Odin once to flash TWRP. Then all the rest will be done in recovery on the phone itself. No need for it after you've either manually updated to the latest stock rom, or flashed a recovery for use of custom roms
So... imo mobile Odin, though being nifty, is a bit pricey for how little you'll need it, whereas it's free on pc.
I don't think mobile Odin is even available for the i717. It's not listed in supported devices.
I tried installing mobile odin and it's not supported
Thanks for the reply. And an even bigger Thanks for downloading the app and checking. I admire sacrificing your own work just to help me out. So what about yourself? Would you suggest, advise or heed caution to anymore of my questions?
By the way, what are you two running?
As long as you read the op of threads and all other important posts that follow BEFORE ever touching your phone, I'd say try a custom Rom...if you decide you don't like any of them, you can Odin flash the stock jellybean firmware at any point.
I myself am running unofficial aokp compiled and posted by a fellow team member BlownFuze.
Oh yeah, how's it running? Nice and stable or crawling with bugs? Any key selling points?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I'm on the stock 4.1.2 release and rooted.
Everything works, no bugs, but battery sucks. Even after removing and freezing useless processes a stock rom will never be as light and battery friendly as a custom rom.
I just upgraded to the same version. Planned on rooting over weekend. Any success since your last post? Do you nave preferred Root method?
Thanks

Use Odin to flash twrp
Newest version of twrp "should" Sr that you're not rooted and ask if you would like to do so within recovery before booting back into the os.
If not, there's links to an su.zip to flash in twrp for root.

Hey man, thanks, it worked like a charm. I appreciate the help from both you.
Im currently on Lineage ROM, and i got a new phone so i need to flash the stock ROM on this K20 Plus, what would be the easiest way to do it? MetroPCs model.
I know you may have long since found the answer, but for others who may be curious simply search for the official LG software suite PC program and install it. You will need the phone device drivers. There is a thread here in the xda K20 plus ROMs and development forum with links to the necessary files and some basic guides. You'll also need to download the official stock image from the lg-firmwares.com or any such similar host sites. Although I believe the official and recent version of the LG backup/restore suite can download the image file automatically but I may be wrong. The crucial thing is to install all the necessary drivers on your PC and ensure the phone can be recognized on it. I haven't kept up with any of the latest releases to know if maybe the suite does the downloading and drivers setup with ease. But more or less the whole stock reflash process is the same and not difficult.
