Could have gone pearshaped if I'd have tried that Is there a simple way of rooting the crescent such as the steps in the link above ? Everything I can find roots it by adding a new ROM which I dont want to do. I just want to root it so I can install Adobe Flash and BBC iPlayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put them on your sdcard and install them with any file manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done that and it didnt work. Adobe Flash showed as installed on the phone through Applications. When browsing to www.whatismyflash.com it showed as not having Adobe Flash installed, BBC iPlayer webstie did not work and also YouTube desktop site did not work both stating Adobe Flash had to be installed which it had been I have since read that if the phone was rooted and the files installed then it should work correctly but I do not want to install a custom ROM to be able to root the phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PsYcHoKiLLa Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) You sure you used the proper flash version? You need to use the one for Arm v6 processors, try here I wouldn't hold out much hope on the performance using BBC iPlayer with this phone by the way, I tried it, even using the wireless it's crap. It's cos there aren't enough lower streams on iPlayer. Apparently that's being changed though. Edited December 15, 2011 by PsYcHoKiLLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sjoyce666 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yeah I used a proper version of Adobe Flash, it also doesnt work if I install the file you linked to If I browse to ww.whatismyflash.com it still shows as either not installed or disabled When you had yours working were you rooted and running a custom ROM or using the standard ROM I am doing this is on a completely standard T-Mobile Vivacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
