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.

bluetooth help please

I'm running xplode mini rom and when i try to pair my bluetooth it says incorrect password or pin unable to pair but no menu pops up to enter a password. any help thanks in advance. i did search but no luck, even google.
Do you know of anyway to reset your bluetooth device?
no option to forget device or reset it. its one of those stupid hand free 1xxplantronics m100
Well I had a problem with blue ant handsfree device. It wouldn't connect so I searched on blue ants website and finally found out I needed to do a factory reset. It all went good from there, but maybe you are experiencing a different problem altogether. Sorry if I couldn't be of any help.

Judging from what you've said, you may have formatted and deleted your /system partition. If you can still get to CWM, you're in luck. If not... Call up Ouya and ask about that warranty! As it is, without /system, there is no OS.
I dont know how to enter cwm. .
I tried some things like plug in a usb keyboard and press alt printscreen but no luck...

Try that and press control-alt-f1 after it SHOULD have booted. You may be out of luck if you actually formatted /system.

Call up Ouya technical support and see if they can do anything for you. Maybe an alternative method to get yourself into the recovery.

****ed up my P8000

Hello XDA, this is my first post, this comunity is awesome and helped me a lot for a couple of years now.
there always seems to be a solution to everything!
but now i realy ****ed up. i accidentaly checked the wrong thing on the so called "smart phone flash tool"
i klicked firmware upgrade instead of download only.
is there any way so rescue my phone? thank you very much in advance! :crying:
here is a screenshot: (i cant paste link because i am new):crying:
I'd better let someone more qualified answer your query but I'm pretty sure your situation can be recovered easily. What happens if you try to reflash the firmware again with the correct settings? These phones are pretty hard to brick!

there probably is SOME way to fix it, i am sure, but the phone does not even boot into recovery.
Mediatek phones are hard to brick, haha
It is PROBABLY going to give a headache in order to find the needed files, flash the stuff again and etc using the proper way, but PROBABLY your phone will relive again. Try rooting and installing Eragon after a full wipe, if that option is available.

Help forcing file transfer with broken screen

Like the title says, my wife's 6645L has a shattered screen and I'm trying to pull some files off of it. She rarely plugged it up to a pc so I have no idea what it's set to do.
I know it's working as we heard notifications and rings before we switched phones but that's all I know. When I plug it up to the pc, nothing happens.
Anyone know of a way to force it into a file transfer?

Thanks chrisz5z, I'll do some digging and see what I can figure out. She never let me mess with the phone which means that debugging is turned off...that'll be the big hurdle

It can be done by following this > https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66731042&postcount=260
But you'll need to unlock the bootloader & flash TWRP to do it
