If its a cab file you're trying to install, copy it anywhere on the phone. Then using file explorer on your phone, click on the cab file and installation will begin.
If its an exe file, these install from your pc through Activesync. On your pc(with phone connected), click on the exe file and it will copy the files to your phone. It will then tell you to check your phone, which will then look like you had just started a cab file installation.
If either cab or exe asks you if you want to install to device or storage card, it should be your choice unless the creator has specified otherwise.
Some files require rebooting the phone after installation. Most will tell you before they reboot, and some creators will tell you its necessary. In this case you should manually reboot it if the installation doesn't automatically do it for you.
just out of curiosity. how did you manage to flash 6.1 on the phone when you are unsure of how to install a simple application?

what kind of stuff? like does the phone do backflips or break dance?
be a little more specific man..
for the keyboard go look in the sticky ontop of this forum and download the keyboard file to your pc. plug your phone into the pc and let it sync. then take that file and through activesync > explorer put it on your phone
on your phone, go to where that file is located and just execute it..install to device. then reboot the phone when its done installing.
Stop opening new threads for the same topic...first last warning.
Keep using the same thread.

there are sticky's full of instructions for installing new roms....followed by 1000 pages of the same questions and the same answers.
i wasnt trying to be a jerk.i was honestly asking because id like to know how he installed his 6.1 so we can try to make it a lot easier on n00bs that ask the same questions time and time again. since he seems like a new user, hes the one to ask right?

You honestly think hes the one? I didn't think installing cabs was that hard. Put cab on phone, click on it from explorer, and wait just a bit, Done. I really don't think he is the chosen one. In fact, I would venture a guess that it was pure luck he was able to get 6.1 flashed at all. No offense. I nominate Gixxum to be his personal tutor
which is why id like to know how or what instructions he followed.
I didn't think you was being a jerk, infact i found your answer rather commicle, so i had to reply with comedy, i just imagined he followed the forum thread and think from his answer i was correct? But maybe not?
Biglarge what's the answer?

Im glad you guys are having fun at my expense, this is how I figured it out. It was posted in this forum, I wish I had the name on it, but I give thanks to ever wrote this and am sorry I didnt have the nameHeres how to beat the 270 error.
When running the installer, "push any key" through the first few steps as it says.
When the queue comes up saying "press center key and screen should turn white", "press any key to continue"
FIRST - press any key, to bring up the next queue
SECOND - now push the center button on your phone, and it should turn white
THIRD - push any key on your PC to start the actual flash.
If you do step 2 before 1, it will still continue onto the flash screens, but will Error 270 at 1-10%.....
Hope this helps some of you!

Maybe if next time you are more clear with what you are trying to get help on. We can help you.
Error 720 is/has nothing to do with "Installing programs"
Think about it.
That was regards to gixxum, and in my post of installing programs, I clearly stated installing the keyboard and I believe the sirius program. I am sorry for all the confusion. Later

I know I use a blackjack, but whats the 720 error?
BigLarge: we're just trying to have fun, did you get your cabs installed?
Im almost afraid to say it, but no, I put them on the phone and it seems to install but nothing after that, I have learned to type with what ever text is on there though.
I've been reading up on this upgrade, and I'm very interested. The only thing is, if I do this, will it unlock my phone and if my phone unlocks, will it still work with my phone insurance? Also, were there any problems after doing this with MMS that I can fix if I were to encounter any? I've read people having problems with MMS afterwards and I use it pretty frequently so I don't want that to be like messed up. Thanks in advance for any replies.
With regards to insurance if your on about your carrier then you just flash back to the original ROM, with regards to MMS issues i'm baffled as it's simple to set up and with thousands on thousands of users with no issues there seems to be a small ammount of users with issues, you can set up automatically via connection setup or even input all the info manually if you wish.
The ammount of extra you get with WM6.1 i bet that once flashed you will never want to see WM6 anywhere... And if not you just flash back to stock ROM.

First things first, you need to sda app unlock. Click on the link , go to post no.4 , download zip and follow what the post says.

Second, The phone companies don't like it when you install unofficial roms on their phones, you can also find an official rom in the forum to place in your phone later if needed.
Third, some problems happen to some phones,it doesn't mean that you'll have the mms problem, but let me tell you something about this forum, we have the coolest people and they'll always help you when you need it. specially Stylez.

Good luck
Today I had several reboots on my Desire. After the third I decided to do a hard reset.
Since rebooting the Android Market has been REALLY slow.
It will find apps and let me install them, however the screen doesn't change after the install - it keeps saying installing. The only way to remove the "installing" message is to reboot
I have tried several reboots, reflashed the stock T-Mobile UK ROM and I have formatted the SD card, but none of these have fixed it.
I get the same using WiFi or mobile internet (vodafone UK)
Anyone having the same issue, or got any ideas how to resolve it??
Cheers
Zippyioa
Delete please..
See below...
Try THIS!
If not then just wait as the Market on googles servers needs time to catch up with the diffrent build numbers changed, since a flash i belive
Mine took personally after everyflash at least a hour to start even working a bit.
EDIT: Maybe if it carries on being very slow, maybe something happened in the flash whilst in recovery, and has written some data to some bad sectors, causing this issue << only spectulation tho!

Thanks for the link, but I tried that already (after searching for this issue!)
It didn't resolve either issue for me (the slow market, or the installing issue) nor did other threads, hence me starting this one.
Any further help would be appreciated

Then referred to my second post.
Soz for the confusion
Still having this issue.
I have tried the close market place and clear cache/data idea, but no joy
I have now re-formatted (after a factory reset and clearing storage in bootloader) but it still sticks on installing in market even though the app installs fine.
Please help!
Slow for me today as well, stock Desire.
Maybe give it a day?
Okay, its been a few days now and I am still having the never ending install and slow market issue.
Surely I cant be alone??
Upon every reboot I get the following error message:
Your device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source... ... ...
It goes on to say press the UP VOL button to hard reset or any other button to continue.
I press any other button and it proceeds to boot correctly.
Any way to disable the message?
VZW TP2 - Stock 6.5 ROM
EDIT / UPDATE: If don't touch anything when it is on this screen it will eventually continue to boot normally... so again I would just like to disable this message if at all possible.
Anybody???
Or maybe an idea of where to look for log files so I can tell what specifically is causing it?
I've had the same message at least twice now. Almost had a heart attack the first time. Mine also rebooted fine after a minute or so. Not sure what caused this.
For me this happens everytime I reboot.
I did a hard reset and after installing and configuring everything, it is happening again.
It isn't affecting anything, just annoying.
Anybody?
Having this screen come up after every reboot is really annoying.
Surely somebody has had this happen before..
after you hard reset did you reinstall all your applications again... is that what you mean by configured it? If so it's likely one of your programs that's causing it. If you didn't install anything and it still pooched out like that then, well I'm stumped!
It started happening after I installed everything, but everything works on it.
There has to be some type of log file somewhere that will tell me what is causing it
You may just want to go and take the time to install a program and then see if it happens... when you get to the one that you know causes it.. uninstall it and see if the issue is still there. If not then carry on with installing all your other aps you have left doing the same thing to see if any of them cause the issue. It may take some time to do but it cant take along longer then waiting around for someone to chime in on some advice for you. Gotta do what you gotta do right?

So instead of going into recovery mode to apply the mms gingerbread fix for cricket, I copy and pasted it right over the system apk. couldn't find where telephony was to copy and paste, so then got the idea of using recovery and applied the mms gingerbread.zip in recovery mode. now im getting an error and force close every time i try and open up messaging. Any help would be massively appreciated. Further help to get mms working after reading all the thread and trying multipul different mods to get it to work would be even more appreciated. Maybe posting up the original mms.apk file the phone comes with would solve the problem?

After flashing and rooting my phone i tried 3 different custom roms. 1st cyanbread i think its called, i didn't like it at first cause it was a little confusing but all features of the phone worked. Then i tried slimbean, messaging did not work, then tried evio, messaging, contacts, and phone all cause system errors and wouldn't work.
Does anyone know if my phone is messed up or if its just bugs in the roms?

Unfortunately, those are not just bugs. I do not have Cricket, so I'm not sure how to fix this, but you can try the following:
1. Go into recovery. (Hopefully you have Amon-RA, if not you can still try this.)
2. Wipe everything.
3. Put a nice rom on your sd card, and go into recovery and flash.
4. Do whatever you need to do so Cricket will work, but make sure you follow the instructions exactly as in the OP or video.
Post back and let me know what happens. Otherwise, private message @jlmancuso or @Wambo_Bomb -- I believe they have Cricket.

Thank you so much for the quick responce. I am running cyanogenmod Tom and though there's alot I like, there's alot I don't. Forexsaplei think its absurd they've intergrated 2 launchers, (adw and legacey) (adw, seems to be a resource hog )into it where they can't be easily removed and the launcher of my choosing put on. Or the fact that I can't easily go into diagnisticmode for qpst. Honestly I'd rather keep the HTC sense Tom as that's what was made specifically for the phone, however as said mms fixes or any other rom will cause forceclose errors. I already tried what you described above, so I guess I'm stuck with cyanogen until I can figure a fix.
Once again thanks for the quick responce that was not sarcastic and containing more info than, "Google it" I see that alot on here n most people are brought to this forum from Googling their problems. As a person new to programing and flashing phonesits frusterating to see that. If you don't want to answer then don't respond. No need to belittle someone or tease them with, "I could help you but I'm better than that."

Hmm. Well, sorry I couldn't help you. Please try private messaging @Wambo_Bomb or @jlmancuso . They have Cricket and will be able to help you better either way. I'm a little off today, so I'm probably overlooking something. I'm on minimal sleep because my parents house has been flooding lately from heavy rain, and I've been trying to help them with that.
