Hello everyone, here is my question there is a couple of cool apps but they are .zip folders and when i download them and put them in my phone it says "there is no application associated with this file. run the app first and then open this file inside the application". But i don't know how to run the app.
Please help me, it is driving me crazy!
Thank you
Perhaps if you could be more specific as to what kind of applications you are trying to install. You may need to install a driver in order to open said apps.
did you save the file to your storage card? if you did then open it up there first, then run it on your phone.
Did you download a .cab or a .zip file to begin with?? Sometimes your PC will identify a .cab file as a 'Compressed (Zipped) Folder'. (1) If you downloaded a .cab file, then just move it to your device or storage card, then execute it from there. (2) If you downloaded a .zip file, then you will need to extract (unzip) the file on the PC first, if it contains a .cab file then follow step 1 above.
Sometimes program files are zipped up for transport (e.g. an RUU packages), those files need to be extracted on the PC and then executed from there. Hope this helps!
I have a fault with my tp2 where it won't connect to the PC via USB. I want to put the stock vodafone rom on it as it's going back tomorrow for exchange/repair, but can't find a way to do this that doesn't involve USB. The vodafone ROM download I have is an exe file so I have no nbh file to put on my SD card.
Does anyone have any idea what to do?
use winrar and you can unzip the .exe, or open up the exe and there should be a prompt saying its un-packaging contents (or something along those lines). Then look in the folder where your exe is placed and there should be a folder created and in that folder is the .nbh. Now there will be 3 or so, copy the largest one and rename it to RHODIMG.nbh and put it on the root of your storage device. Then enter bootloader, (hold vol down while device is booting up) and follow the prompt.
by root do you mean program files

Root is the same level in your SD card that your program files and other main folders are at, put the file at the same level as those folders, not in any of them, and that's where it's required to be.

This worked a treat. Thanks very much. I never would have thought of trying to extract an exe file!!
Hey All,
I have literally spent the past 6+ hours trying to update my radio to version 2.x on my Droid Incredible, and it isn't working. No matter what method I try, which image, or which ROM, nothing works.
What I am Currently Running:
Sky Raider 2.5.2 Vanilla
I am s-off
I ran the latest unrEVOked3 to gain root access
I downloaded the latest usb drivers
What is happening:
When I download PB31IMG.zip, I place it into my newly re-formatted FAT32 sdcard in the root directory. After that, I launch it into hboot, and try to have it run the update. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, it cannot find the image.
I have also tried the normal version of de-upgrading, but I get stuck on this step and cannot proceed any further.
Any help would be appreciated!
Zack
This should be in General.
There is no directory called root on the sdcard. What it means is to just put it on ur sdcard, do not put it in any folders. Just /sdcard/

Try making sure radio is named radio.img make sure amdroid-info.txt is ok, and make sure it is named PB31IMG.zip not pb31img.zip or .zip.zip
Or tcberg could be right, and you may be putting the file in a non-existing directory.

How will I know if amdroid-info.txt is "ok"?
I made sure it's named properly - my bad on that, and the directory. Saying root just meant the main directory on the sdcard, not in any folders.
I would either: download the file again, or take an android-info.txt from a splash screen zip

Do you know where I could find the latter of those two options?
The android info txt???? Its in all the solash screens..just go into tje themes subforum and there are like 5 threads on them....all you have to do is just rip the txt file out of there and place it in the radio zip

I apologize for my ignorance, this is the first android root I've done. But how would I go about doing that?
1. Download a splash screen zip from the themes forum
2. Find the android-info.txt
3. Copy it to your desktop and paste it into the PB31IMG.zip file

you have to press power volume down and the dedicated camera button at once to gain access to the root of your sdcard
I would be willing to bet that PB31IMG.zip is actually PB31IMG.zip.zip on your sd. The file in windows should just read PB31IMG and nothing more.

There is a known issue of the pmg file getting corrupted when downloading to your computer and transferring to your phone.trying downloading the file directly to your phone.
The problem is most likely that your sd card isn't formatted to fat 32. Backup the radio image format your card to fat 32 instead of fat put the image on the root of your sd and try again.
Make sure that the file isn't corrupted and that you are in fact s off. Download it again to be sure and re format as well. Either your card is formatted wrong or your image is corrupted.

You can also try messing with the format cluster size. Try default allocation size first, if that doesn't work tinker with the sizes.
Make sure you have the correct radio update file and do not change the file name at all. Here is a link to the correct one, download it and try again.

I just got a new app from work in a .exe format.
can i put in a zip and flash it or do i have to change it to a apk file
I tried to put the exe file on my sd card and use astro to install it put it won't
I also tried to find a app to change exe to an apk with no luck
Thanks for any help!!!
.exe are applications designed to run on windows. Renaming the file wont change anything. It has to be an app written in Android code or it wont work. DO NOT flash unknown/unsigned files in recovery (I dont think it will let you) but if you manage to it can brick your phone.

Thank you god for that answer!!!!!!!
Hi,
since I am a new user I am not allowed to post in the original thread, hence my question here. I am total noob when it comes to Android. I am stuck on step 13 of the guide. How do I access the zip file on the sd card? My phone shows up as a drive but I can not see the contents of the sd card and therefore can not start .bat file.
Is that not the correct way to access the contents on the sd card, or did I do something wrong preparing the phone?
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards
Philipp
You've to start the .bat file from the installer file from your computer
Edit: For step 13 you need the Z1C installer.zip file. Unzip the file on your PC and run the install.bat
Thanks, I made it more clear! :good:
Thanks to both of you! I am going to try it out right nów. Should have thought of it, .bat is a Windows file.
Just out of curiosity; Does the .bat file unzip the files on the sd card, or why did I have to put them on there?
Kind regards
Philipp
edit: Never mind, I just saw that they were two different files!
