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.
Apparently I installed the wrong Energy ROM into my Sprint, I was setting myself to do so when my wife came and distract me so I entered the wrong thread, downloaded and installed it!!
Anybody can give a north!! Please!!

First I would say bad idea blaming your wife in print. That only spells trouble for you later.
I would say take the SD card out, place a CDMA-based ROM on it, put it back in, go into bootloader, and reflash from the card. NRG doesn't cook radio's into his ROMS so you should be good with just an OS flash.
And just in case you don't know how to flash from SD.
1. Unplug USB cable (not necessary, but KISS)
2. With the phone off, press and hold the vol down rocker then press the power button
3. You'll see the rainbow boot-up, then from there just follow the commands on the screen.
4. After is says Upgrade complete (or something similar, it'll be white text in a blue box in the middle of the screen), press the reset button.
Voila.
Hope this helps.

I'm wondering just what excatly she was doing to distract you so much that you would flash a GSM ROM on your CDMA device.....
Just follow the instructions in the second post. Next time try to use a proper thread title. "Big Mistake!!! Help" Really doesn't help you any faster!
I could make a small joke about your post but I'm not gonna... ....today....
This thread will probably be closed very soon. You better search before blaming your wife next time

You are lucky you only temporarily lost the phone. Other people have worse experiences.
That aside it is easy to fix as mentioned above just put the cdma rom nbh file on the root of sd card and make sure it is called RHODIMG.nbh and then enter into boot loader. The rom will install automatically and you will have your phone restored

Well, I agree with this causing problems... I was so desperate I wasn't thinking!!! BIGGER MISTAKE!!!
Regarding your instructions it was just perfect, I actually struggled about 3 more hours and none of the ROMs I had/downloaded were working, I thought I really screwed bad... after some more search I found what was happening! The MicroSD card that came with the phone is formated FAT and not FAT32, therefore everytime I was trying it wasn't finding the ROM...
Anyway, all is working now, thanks a lot for the quick response yesterday!
Guys, you're so funny, and helpful too!
I better don't go into details of what she was doing...
I'll do my homework next time, tks for all help!

You do realize you gave NO information at all with your statement. What is it you were installing?
Did you read through the first few posts of this thread thoroughly [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [05/10] GPS NOW WORKING! and follow the directions and install one of the cab files from the download link on the first post?
There's a few options but as I saw beside each download link it showed exactly what the version was.. whether it be android 2.1 or android 2.1 with sense etc etc.
Downloads (Project Android)
the install is really... really simple. I'm not sure how you can screw it up if you follow the directions... ie
Copy to SD card
Install: This .cab has to be installed directly to your SD card or it will not work!
Soft Reset your handset
Run Project Android (MJGDroidUtil.exe) from your new start menu icon and enjoy!
It's really that simple.
Good luck
well understood im sorrry i did save it to sd but i downloaded the sence one ill give the one you told me to do and see if it works

oh lordy..u need to know those code words..lol or it might not work if u installing the wrong version. so u have a tilt 2 like me n a similar rom. No, u dont need to download the linux in order to get android. heres the scoop. theres 3 android builds...2.01, the AOSP 2.1, and the Klinux 2.1 with Sense 2.5. then u also have a rhobunto program thats a form of linux that u can put in ur phone also. who is ur service with? im figuring att or some GSM network. our phones are GSM but can b used on others also. try out the AOSP 2.1 cab. its the most stable build of Android for Rhodium and has the least amount of things u need to do to get service and data working. First delete any trace of whatever build u tried to download that said didnt work. if u have Clear temp or Clean ram, use that too afterwards. then download the cab file directly to the root of storage card which is /storage . makes sure its at the root and not in a folder. then install the cab. after install..do a soft reset. then when u boot back up, in ur start menu, u should see an Android icon or the Haret. exe/startup utility icon. click on that. then select the corresponding keyboard that matches the tilt 2..its like in the middle or something. this next step is optional but i would do it to have the latest files. next step, while in the that screen, press the menu softkey. U should see something that says Update, Apps, Exit. click on the updates. click all 3 boxes if they not already. then press update. it updates the crucial files zimage, roofts., and the intrdgz files. so ull be up to date. after those update, press close. itll take u back to the startup utility screen. press RUN ANDROID...then hopefully, u good to go...make sure to read the wiki or the project android thread for rhodium so u know what to do if any issues come up. be patient while haret loads up and dont press no buttons...lol the first boot up takes a lil while but afterwards, it loads up way faster. after haret loads, u should be at a black screen that says Android and is flshing. thats the startup screen for android. after that ANdroid starts up. i just wanna emphasize the importance of reading the info up here so u know what works and what doesnt. cuz if u come askn in the threads about something already stated, alot of veteran members might jump on ur case..lol its worth the extra effort. trust me..i know its a ****load to read but its needed so u know the in and outs of whats going on. let me know if u got it up and running. I havent installed Rhobunto yet, so i cant advise on that , if thats what u want. but definitely try the AOSP build. cuz if u get the sense build, u have to enter in ur apn settings n all that. with the AOSP, everything works right off the bat, the voice service and data. once u get seasoned a lil, then try the sense build. if u get stuck on somethin, let me know or send a PM. ill see what i can do to guide ya on the install.
well i got it to work i found out my problem was using opera ten for downloading and it was not downloading all the way and it took forever so i switch it to ie and downloaded fifteen min later it installed and well the only complaint i have is that android sucks my battery dry even in the charger what can i do about it other than that wow i love it...thank you so much

right now with the build, when u boot into android, it doesnt give u accurate readings. theres no way it literally drains the battery while plugged up to the charger unless u got something else in there or like max brightness or somethin..lmfao like u can be in windows and be 100% battery and immediately once u boot into android, itll show that ur only at like 60-70%. its false. it can get all the way down to 5% left in Android, and if u boot back to windows , ull see ur battery still almost full..lol whatever u do, try not to let Android drain the battery completely. it doesnt have a cut off point and will drain it dry and not let u reboot. if that happens , just plug it up to the wall charger, not usb/pc cable charging, and ull be good in 5-10 mins. plugging it up to ur computer after it drained will literally take several several hrs. to get enough power back in there to reboot. your phone needs a minimum amount to get it started.
Glad u got android workn. just make sure to read up on it...even if ur a newb...as u can see , the more veteran members can be snarky at times when people come in asking questions over and over again thats already been answered in the past. The wiki, this forum, and the android rhodium project page will give u all the info u need.
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?
