Archos 5 model number 6500 how do i download flash

Is it archos 5 or archos 5 IT ?
For archos 5 IT is already upgrade to 2.2 as far as I know.
For archos 5 I don't think there is one and with archos they don't bother doing anymore upgrades for older models.

Found this for the archos 5 IT.

Adobe's flash player must be able to suit your requirement :

Go to http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates.html?country=us&lang=en&#firm
and select the Archos 5 from the drop down box.
I would suggest you follow the manufacturer's instructions when it comes to the firmware upgrade.
I know it can be pretty hairy on most devices if you're upgrading it's OS.
If it doesn't work, report back.

Disassembling Archos will void device's manufacture warranty. You should not do it yourself. There is some parts are very fragile will cause a permanent damage to the device. I will not recommend for you to do it yourself.

As posted to another person, download this .apk file and install it on your A70 (It must be running 2.2 froyo firmware to work, if running 2.1 you need different .apk).
It'll give you Google Market, where you can download Adobe Flash Player that updates itself... i've had 2 updates from flash since Dec 25th upon getting this.


Link: With Archos 70 Internet Tablet, you need to download a specific version of Adobe Flash Player from Google Market since it runs Android OS. And A70 doesn't come with GMarket, rather Appslib, which doesn't quite cut it.

Luckily someone has made a neat little .apk file thath as Google Market, which lets you download GMarket and download/install all its apps/games/etc on your A70.

Just download the following .apk file and install it on your A70, afterwards download Adobe Flash Player from Google Market. However, this hack ONLY works on 2.2 froyo android OS, so make sure your A70 firmware is up to date.

I'd also recommend installing Dolphin Browser HD as it seems to provide a more refined flash browsing experience coupled with the Adobe Flash Player.

Hi I would think the best place to start is with ARCHOS,
give them the lowdown and see what they come up with.
You could use the Archos forum and look through the help files

that is because it it incompatible with the version of flash that is used by the archos. unless archos change that with a future update or iplayer suddenly becomes more backwards-compatible in the future then don't expect this to change.

you will most likely have to wait on the release from adobe in october for that to happen.. in the mean time you can install the google market on the archos and then install opera mini web browser and it will allow you to watch youtube videos.. i found that to work best for me.. opera mini can only be found in the google market for android download though.. i tried several times to find it before but i never was able to get a download link for android...
hope this helps... Daniel
