Thanks. We're closer, but not quite there. Now I'm getting:

"Unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform. We apologize for inconvenience."

For KitKat 4.4 Users

-Uninstall previous version of Adobe Flash Player

-Install the attached Adobe Flash Player apk

-Follow all of the steps from the OP (obviously, with the exception of the "Install Flash Player" step since we are using the one from this post).

-Now Adobe Flash content will work but you must use Dolphin Jetpack browser for any flash content (including Hulu)

P.S. You may have to go into Dolphin Jetpack settings and enable Flash before viewing... :good:

    This is a tutorial explaining how to install and modify Adobe Flash Player
    to view Hulu Free content on a compatible Android browser.​
    The modification script was made by user NoSudo, whose official thread can be found here.
    Root is required for this to work

    KitKat 4.4 users see this post for instructions.

    Step 1: Install & Configure BusyBox

    • Install JRummy's Busybox Installer app from the PlayStore: link
    • Open BusyBox Installer and select version 1.20 (not the latest) & install location: /system/xbin
    • Click Install

    Step 2: Install Script Manager - SManager

    • Install Script Manager (free) from PlayStore: link

    Step 3: Install Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.36

    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.36/install_flash_player_ics.apk

    Step 4: Download & Extract FLASHEX 2.05

    • Download Flashex205.zip from the attachment below
    • Extract the zip using a file manager app & copy Flashex2 folder to root of sdcard (IMPORTANT)

    Step 5: Execute FLASHEX script

    • Open ScriptManager app & navigate to Flashex2 folder
    • Click the flashex205.sh file
    • Select "Su" (skull and crossbones icon) & Run
    • (Optional) If you want this script to run automatically at each boot, click the Boot option next to the Su from the previous line.

    If all went well you should have a patched Adobe Flash Player!
    To view Hulu Free flash content you need a compatible browser (I use Boat Browser) and in settings change the "User Agent" to Desktop.



    P.S. Getting it to work is one achievement, but getting it to play fluidly is another. I have noticed that different ROMs, Kernels, and even Browsers have an effect on the smoothness of the video playback. I've also found that on my Nexus 10, the audio and video begins out of sync. I've figured out that changing the quality setting on the video after it has begun to play reloads and resyncs it again. More tweaking and testing may eventually improve this but if you're having any of these issues with playback, you're not alone.

    For people that have init.d support I have added a CWM zip that will enable everything for you.
    Instead of the working folder being on the SD it is now in data/Flashex2

    If you already have flash installed, uninstall it before flashing the zip. Also wipe the dalvik cache and cache partition after flashing the zip.

    What it installs:
    • Flash 11.1.115.36
    • Busybox 1.20
    • Flashex 2.05

    May take a couple of reboots to set everything up.

    I have it stored in the SDcard but when I run the script I get the following message.

    /storage/emulated/0/flashex205.sh cannot write to or /.
    This message means the scropt can't create any files in teh intended location(s)
    try just installing the script in the /mnt/sdcard/Flashex2 and make sure you have read/write permissions in it.

    I then changed the directory to /sdcard and reran it and got the same error.

    I am running AOKP Buttered 4.2.2 ROM

    Just to be sure, do you have the "Flashex2" folder with all its containing files copied to the root of the sdcard before you ran the flashex205.sh script? The flashex205.sh script has to be executed inside the Flashex2 folder...which has to be on the root of your sdcard.

    Example: /sdcard/Flashex2/flashex205.sh

    • Extract the zip using a file manager app & copy Flashex2 folder to root of sdcard (IMPORTANT)

    Thanks so much for this! As an added bonus, this mod allows Amazon Instant Video to work. Woo hoo!
