Flash archive; CWM flashable if anyone wants it

[roustabout]

I located the flash archive last night hoping to get a copy of Flash on my HD+ that the Play store would recognize and offer updates for. So far, I haven't got that working.

Over on the Nook forums, a lot of folks from the UK are reporting that Flash is not available via BN, and many in the US are having trouble using the BN shop to install it.

There may be folks who would like to just install the app and not enable unsigned sources? If so, I rewrote one of the CWM flashes that Leapinlar developed to install just Flash.

If you've already enabled unsigned installs on your device, you can get the Flash installer for ICS at

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html (scroll down a bit for the android versions)

If you don't want to enable that but you've already made one of the clockwork disks for your device, I think this file will let you install flash on either the HD or HD+ -- it has only been tested on the HD+, and I truncated the start of the script so that it's no longer asking about hummingbird versus ovation, as that doesn't seem germane to what I'm doing, copying a file to /data/app.

However, the CWM script should only be used on the BN HD/HD+ platforms as Leapin points out below.

You can download the file at http://www.mediafire.com/?yz0r39nym8ffho0

Copy installflash.zip to your CWM card, boot from it, and install it - it simply copies the Adobe installer into /data/app and your device does the rest.

And if for some reason you haven't enabled installing unsigned apps? Go for it. Tastes great, less filling - but in case you haven't you can certainly use this file.

This is the entirety of the installation, based on leapinlar's scripts:

ui_print("Installing Flash Player fron Adobe Archive...");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/userdata", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

unmount("/data");

ui_print("All done!");
ui_print("Please Remove the SDCard, Reboot, Enjoy!");

Two things, first, this is for stock only. Second, if you make any more zips you should keep that assert statement at the top so in case someone gets a hold of this they can not flash it to their non-Nook HD/HD+ device, since it is hard coded for those. Take the assert statement from one of the other zips marked HD/HDplus that have both hummingbird and ovation asserts in it.

Edit: I'll tell you a story. A user was trying to flash a Nook Tablet ROM to his Nook Color and it understandably failed the assert test. He did not understand what that meant so he did a search and found a post that told him to remove that first statement if he wanted it to flash. So he did and flashed the wrong ROM to his Color. It totally hosed his device since the Tablet partitions are totally different than the Color's. And he could not figure out why it would no longer boot or accept other ROMs.

Since then I always put assert statements in all my zips, just in case.
