Posted by | August 08, 2010 | Hacks, How to | One Comment

Want to install Flash on iPhone or iPad? We have Frash 0.02 released recently that works just fine to run Flash content on iOS 4 and iPad 3.2.1. There are no guarantees however. According to devs:

“DISCLAIMER: The compiled binaries are based upon ALPHA code by COMEX. Code from the github repository can change minutely creating a significantly more stable version of code. DO NOT expect this compiled code to work on every Flash object or even be the slightest bit stable.

If you are ready for the adventure, follow this simple step by step guide:

Installing Flash on iPhone & iPad

Before you Begin:

If you already have Frash 0.01 installed, remove it first before installing the update.

Step 1: Jailbreak iPhone with JailbreakMe

Step 2: Download Frash-0.02.deb [Download | Mirror]

Step 3: SSH into iPhone. Windows: i-FunBox or WinCSP. Mac: CyberDuck

Step 4: Once you can access iPhone file system, copy the downloaded Frash-0.02.deb to folder named “tmp”.

Step 5: Reboot your iPhone or iPad

Once your device reboots, open Safari and browse to any website that serves Flash content. You should be able to run Flash content using Frash now, simply tap on “Flash” link and it will load Flash content.

Credits for Flash port for iPhone go to Comex and Grant Pannell for their awesome work.

Note: If copying file to tmp folder doesn’t work for you, do this:

Copy the MobileTerminal-426.deb to /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall

If you can’t locate the “Cydia” folder in “Media”, create it. Then create another folder named “AutoInstall” in “Cydia” folder and copy the .deb file there.

Then reboot your iPhone again, this should work now.
