We recently posted some stuff about Flash running on iPad, which seem pretty cool and gave us alot of hope that we would be able to run flash apps on our iPad in future. Then very recently, we posted about the Frash - Dubbed name for the unreleased app by Comex that would help us to run Flash on our iPad.

Now it seems that a pre-release (not beta, because its not officially launched yet) version of it is available on internet for download. As its an early, incomplete release, most of the features won’t work. Even with Frash installed on your iPad, you won’t be able to play Flash videos. You can though enjoy some of your favorite flash games just for fun.

Before we proceed, please note that following this tutorial might lead your iPad to malfunction or some other related problems, for which we would not be responsible. Try it on your own risk!

Jailbreak your iPad.
Then you would be required to install OpenSSH. Simply search for it in Cydia, install it and reboot your iPad.
Close your iTune application and connect the iPad to your computer.

Download and install Cyberduck for Mac or WinSCP for Windows. Enter the following details to login to your iPad:

Cyberduck

Server: The IP address of your iPad. Settings –> WiFi –> Network Name
Username: root
Password: alpine
Protocol: SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)

WinSCP

Hostname: The IP address of your iPad. Setting –> WiFi –> Network Name
User name: root
Password: alpine
Protocol: SCP

Search Google for Frash.deb file and download it on your computer. Links can’t be posted here for some legal reasons
Go to /var/root/Media and create a new folder named Cydia. Inside it, create another folder and call it AutoInstall.
Copy the Frash file which you just downloaded into this directory.
Restart your iPad.

Thats it. You are good to go. Now whenever you browse a flash based website on your iPad, you should see a “F” sign there (“F” is for Flash, not anything else ). Simply tap the the alphabet and you should be able to view the content.
