Lol that's not right at all..if you don't really know the answer to a question then don't answer it. Anyhow the other person was right you need a rom that is 2.2 or higher in order to use flash.

You need a froyo (2.2) custom room like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947613

Dude u need a 2.2 ROM, if u have rooted the phone, just install xrecovery and choose install custom rom & location of the rom zip.
Voila you are good to go

Can someone explain to me in layman's (ish) terms, why it's not possible to hack Flash Player support on 2.1?
I want to learn!

Because the framework for flash didn't exist on 2.1.. The only 2.1 that had flash was for htc and it was flash lite, but it sucked..

U just have to flash a 2.2 ROM like Free X10 and download Flash from the Market - Finish
Greetz, Kevin

Flash Palyer is working well on Free X10

thanks guys would you be able to tell me which custom rom is the best I mean best froya 2.2
thanks guys

Okay, so thats why there were a lot of rumors about Flash on 2.1
Because HTC had some Flash Lite. But, you could also install it on other phones, or only on some HTC?
Does flash realy need some files from 2.2 ? isnt there a way to copy these files from 2.2 and use under 2.1 ?

Only worked on htc phones because it required their sense rom...
There is no way no matter what you do to get it to run on 2.1. It will never happen.

Well your answer isn't entirely right either
Flash lite works on 2.1 Stock SE, I've tried it. But for the full experience, yeah u need one of the 2.2+ roms

Wrong that was a total fake rumor... Go to newgrounds.com, it will say it was installed but flash stuff doesn't work. I owned a htc hero for a long time before my x10 and went through when I rooted it and got rid of sense...

Again, there's a difference between flash and flash lite.
Most flash websites do not support flash lite, but there are a few that do. Many ads, for example, are based on flash lite. But anyway, I think the OP has got his answer, so further discussion is futile

Yes but newgrounds.com still did work with flash lite as it worked when I had htc sense, then once I rooted and installed a 2.1 custom rom it no longer did, even after I had flash lite supposedly installed.
Ask any of the htc devs and they will tell you the exact same thing guaranteed... It did not actually work...
Seriously go ask pulser, feeyo, any of them..

Try letting the boot screen loop run for a few minutes. I recently reinstalled wolf's CM2.2 again and it looped a good 6 or so times before actually loading up.
Also make sure that you are on the latest firmware, Wolf's rom requires it
EDIT:: lol I don't know why my post was so late.. guess all the questions were answered.
i got no idea what base band im on, downloading a 2.1 ROM for the new flash tool

[Q] ROM 2.3.3. How to install MIUI after a ROM install

Hi,
I recently installed OVERDRIVE SERIES gingerbread 2.3.4 a2sd/40 languages/stable and now I want to install its MIUI - Formels MIUI gingerbread 2.3.4. as far as I am aware I should install the MIUI via xrecovery. However the xrecovery 0.3 is not to be installed on ROM 2.2 and 2.3....
How am I supposed to access the recovery menu to install the MIUI??
Any help is much appreciated.
xRecovery is included in custom roms.
But it is advised that you do a clean reinstall of 2.1 then move onto a new custom rom.

It's retarded as long as you have the right baseband or flash a baseband patch and make sure to wipe everything that step would accomplish nothing...

[Q] Updating to Gingerbread :)

hi guys,
i am currently on Bionix-v 1.3.1 in my vibrant and i want to update to gingerbread.

thanks in advance

flash GB bootloaders then you can flash any GB rom over whatever rom
theres ways to do it without the bootloaders but you'll get rainbow screen on boot and wont be able to see recovery
Flash using GB bootloader,it can fix rainbows and use any GB ROM

bootloaders 1st
cant flash straight to a GB rom from froyo without them
only rom i know of that can be is SH3.3, can flash that from froyo without them then flash whatever other GB rom you want through rom manager i think (i did this because i dont trust odin)
some have .tar files so you can flash them through odin to get to GB but voodoo sometimes messes up so you still need the bootloaders to go to recovery and disable it if it does
easiest way's to flash the bootloaders then just flash whatever GB over whatever
thanks again
i have flashed using gb boot loader
i am going to try Simply Honey 4.0 Revolution(JVQ GB 2.3.4) custom rom.

all GB roms are taken from i9000 because we dont have an official GB for our phones
dont know what its because of why calls dont work for some people, they worked for everyone on 2.3.3 i think
dont think radio works because there isnt any radio drivers for our phone so just uninstall it
video calling is there for the people that have put an FFC into their vibrant, it doesnt change anything
MIUI FTW
If you wanna flash a GB ROM trust me MIUI 1.29.11 is the way to go. You will be surprised how nice it is. Just give it a try.
P.S. I flashed it coming from a 2.2 ROM (trigger 3.3) without flashing bootloader. Just did the same old flashing process (wipe,wipe,wipe)
well,
i am on 2.3.4 and i want to reverse back to a 2.3 rom "Team Toxic "Crazy8".
so i do have to install old bootloaders according to them.
anyone got a idea how to do that ?
thanks

i came from bionix 131 was a great rom but get ready for bad assness
1. assuming you have cwm, flash cwm recovery, pick vibrant mtd, click yes then chose clockworkmod 2.x
2. go to download rom, go to cyanogen nightlies and pick perhaps the highest build number unless it has really bad remarks.
3. do the usual clear cache, clear dalv, flash it, fix permissions
let it boot and sit for a few and hold on to your panties...lol
nope gps does not work. but from what i remember bionix gps was pretty spotty as well
dont forget to wipe data, anyways reading some of the posts. simply galaxy is cool, love the blue but cm7 is waaaaay smoother and highly customizable. and you dont need to flash gb bootloaders. and if you want to go back once you flashed gb loaders, your gonna gave to get froyo boots back, from what i remember. cm7 has made it too easy to flash, was kind of tricky in the beginning, but did it for the fun of it

First time android user (roms and themes)

So I finally made the switch from iphone to an android device. With the Iphone you would jailbreak it. Im guessing here, you would root it and then install a rom?

First of all u need to root ur device, after this u need to install/flash a kernel with the cwm recovery (u can use easily one of the rooter kernel.made by chainfire), then u can flash the rom, kernel, theme, whatever u want/need directly thru the cwm.

My advice would be to read the threads on the many kernels avaliable all have instructions on how to install... Then when you feel confident make your choice and get yourself rooted. After you understand the process and familiar with CWM and what it is used for use the same process to choose a ROM... Good Luck
In all honesty, I tried loads of roms on my s1 but I have not felt the need for it, or indeed seen any benefit to a custom rom yet, and certainly not one that will out weigh the inevitable bugs in them.
Clockwork rom bootloader is excellent for full back up and restore purposes. Frankly however with this device rooting is enough especially now there are one click solutions for it.
Once rooted there isn't much you can't change or customise. Camera apps, hacked launchers etc
Personally I have found this far more stable and much more interesting than simply installing someone else's work.
OH YES WHILST I REMEMBER FIRST THING TO DO ONCE ROOTED IS BACK UP YOUR /efs FOLDER IMMEDIATELY THIS IS ESSENTIAL!!

I only have 2 question left. My phone atm is on android 2.3.3. In the root thread, I want to get 2.3.5 KI3.
Can I flash the KI3 right away or do I have to update my phone to 2.3.5 and then get the 2.3.5 KI3?
Is Firmware and Modem the samething? I see there both I9100XXKX#
Once I do that, I will root my phone, install cognition rom and then the ICS theme.

I wanna suggest to u the XXKI4 (2.3.5), this is a superb firmware, u can flash directly to this version without any trouble, for the other question, no firmware and baseband/modem are two different things, u can try many basebands cause there are some basebands that works better with ur specific carrier.
So, u should root/install cwm and than cognition and theme.

Install CWM4 or 5 for Galaxy Ace, you shouldn't need Root for this. You can find them on this Forum if you look. This will replace your stock recovery. Once this is done you place your ROM on the SD card, reboot into recovery and hit install from Zip then choose your new ROM. Simple as that.
If you need any more help let me know

Also don't I need to make a backup or anything? xD because I don't want to brick my Ace its the only phone I have right now.
U don't need root to install cwm 5 ..well I think u should upgrade your firmware to 2.3.xx because most of the roms for SGA are based on gingerbread .ie they need gingerbread basebands ...if u flash them on your FROYO phone u will BRICK your phone !!!!!

Sure you could make a back-up, it is always good to have just in case. You can't restore a stock ROM through recovery, you'll just get a boot loop, but there are other methods to restore your stock back-up. Froyo to Gingerbread is no problem, it is Gingerbread to Froyo that it becomes more complicated.
EDIT: But some ROM's do require you to be on 2.3.x so you could do an official update to Gingerbread to "ensure" everything goes smoothly.

Froyo to Gingerbread is no problem, it is Gingerbread to Froyo that it becomes more complicated.

Thanks for the info
I will look....
Also what happens if I accidentaly flash a Custom Rom made for FROYO when my phone is on Gingerbread FW?
Sorry for all these questions
Well, they don't say. Why not be safe and flash a stock 2.3.x ROM with ODIN. Better to be safe then sorry right?! Are you familiar with ODIN?
Yes I have used ODIN in the past before but only with the One Package option.
-----Edit-----
And if I where to flash that stock firmware which one should I use European?
Yup, that is what you'll be doing. I wrote a little tutorial on it a while ago, the link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408974&highlight=2+3+6+update
go ahead and use the European open version.

When choosing the official GingerBread FW do I need to find the one for my Carrier because I think my phone is SIM-locked. My Carrier is Claro.
