Help flash causing restart after froyo

[Route66]

stock browser
plug ins set to on demand
anytime I click on a flash link my phone reboots...any ideas?

Have you installed flash 10.1 yet? I had a similar issue and installing flash after the update fixed my problems.

Which Flash to install? I get the green arrow, click it and the browser, stock and Dolphin, closes.

well after more testing...... it was discovered that this was just a temp fix, as i used this to fix my "unoffcial" 2.2 update, it seems that turning off the phone and turning it back on causes the problem to return

idk if this is for everyone but it happened to me and i couldn't get it to stick no matter what i did...... the OTA might be diffrent and you might not have reacurring issues.... as i have the pre OTA 2.2 i can not test that factor

the 2nd option if this will not work to fix the problem is to do a full factory reset.... and it should fix the problem for good...(so far anyways)
3 hours lastnight trying to test diffrent things and then resetting my phone and re-doing everything again..... yeah i was not too happy

Question... did any of you have 10.1 installed prior to updating to 2.2? I have read that that has caused huge issues. Also are y'all on the manual Update or the OTA?

i see, so theres pretty much no real solution to this problem, should i just go ahead and do the factory reset, because that link up top, i downloaded it and i couldnt open it, i guess cause it was a .bin file?, have nothing to open it with, thats the error i keep getting.

i did the OTA update today

idk about a.bin file.... it should be a .apk
i DLed it to my PC and moved it over that way and it worked fine

Flash for 2.1 yes

There are your problems right there... the update installs Flash 10.1 and it does not like the earlier version at all. Do a Search through the forums... EarlyMon posted about this.

 

[shandroid]

shit, i did the flash 10.1 on 2.1 and now i can't uninstall it

 

[IXIShogunR1]

but yeah i can not find anyother way to fix this
i've done the flash .apk, i did a full memory wipe of my browser
tried to install the flash .apk a few times after soft restarts to get it to stick
did like 2 hours of internet serches looking for more solutions

i know the file fixes the problem, but for some people its only a temp fix i haven't heard too much more from people that have tired it

factory resets are always a last resort for me and i really don't like telling people to do it unless there is no other way

but if the file won't fix the issue permently then it seems its the only option to do right now...... or try to get an HTC tech rep to see what they say?

i did a post on this...... i even did a warning thread
i know about the problem
i've been trying to help people fix it along with find ways to fix it

it is no longer a problem for me as i finally gave in and did a factory reset lastnight

iv searched everywhere also this morning like u did, and it seems like this is a real problem that has to be solved by an htc tech rep

you won't be able to...... you had to unistall it before the 2.2 update
as flash is now a perment thing with 2.2

So what I have to hard-reset now? Will soft work?

yeah i hate to say it, but unless the the new 2.2 flash .apk fixed it for you then you have to hard reset

Ahh gotcha... I thought you were having the problem. My Bad.

 

[deenice666]

well i did it, fixed the problem like u said shogun, but i shutdown the phone, then turned it back on and its like it was never installed, got the crash browser thing again,lol, like u said, guess its only a temp solution

well option 1: is to put the file on your SD card, install it again after every soft reset.... (annoying) till a possible better fix is found
option 2: set the flash to ondemand in your browser settings... this will keep flash from loading unless you want it to.... once again till a better fix is found

or 3..... full factory reset
