[Q] How to download APKs - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I download and install an .apk file which is hosted on filesonic? Ive tried downloading multiple files and they end up as .htm or .html
Thanks to the ppl that reply!

Don't download from the phone. Download from a pc, then send the file to the phone.

Exactly then use a file manager like Astro to install.

Oh ok, thanks! I tho I could download from phone u.u

You can try to download opera mobile and use that. Seems to have fixed some if not most of my downloading issues.

I had the same question last week. It got annoying. Maybe now I can try this
World peace with no regard for human life.

You can download apk with the phone, just be sure to open it with the package installer/ I know if you have emulators [especially psx4droid] it'll try to open the apk and say rom not supported [cuz its not a rom].

app to open password protected zip and rar files ?

can anyone pls suggest any good app to open password protected zip and rar files ?
I'm guessing you don't know the password in question?
Depending on the strength of the password, you could be at this for months, if not years.
Since RAR 2.0 your forced to use brute force. And this can be processor intensive. I doubt you'd find anything that will run on the DHD.
Try looking --> Here and do it from your computer.
no I know the password, I just need an app which can open password protected .zip and .rar files
If you know the password, could you not open it on your PC and re-zip it unprotected.
I can but still I need an app which can do it on my DHD, like opening from email attachment a password protected .zip or .rar
I personally don't know of an app that will do it.
Your only option now is to start trawling the Android Market, luckily they have just released the web based Market. Give it a try --> Here
"UnRar Free" (or the PRO version if you buy it) will do this for you.
Desperate for Password
Hi,
Can I pls get the password for the I9003DXKF1 file I downloaded...or at least get help on how to get it...badly need to switch phone back to Froyo...please...really need your help since u know it...
Is that a Samsung Galaxy firmware? You'd have better luck asking in the relevant device forum. Where did you download it from? What took you there? Etc..
Sadly we at XDA do not have crystal balls to answer the vaguest of questions.

Search for ArchiDroid in the market and it will do your job... It extracts password-protected RAR, ZIP, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2 and 7zip files... amazingly it is free... Unrar didn't work for me but this one works like a charm
if downloaded from http://www.sammobile.com
google search sammobile password and READ !!!!!
## = samfirm------------

* = Incomplete firmware before flashing your device always check our forum!
I may b late but incase anybody else is searching for a result I found one... unrar works wen u pay for it maybe but not the free version, and archidroid does nothing. The one I found to work most efficiently was Archiver hope it helps

Thanks i installed, but cant seem to find the program in start/metro menu ?
EDIT: fixed deleting the "Dependencies" folder (or at least the VCLibs dependencies within the folder) in the Package Install folder - the one where you run the PowerShell command to install the app.
Then reinstall.

The design looks really nice... Are you going to add protocol to it, so that App's can launch to it or certain links, etc?

I installed but could not get a icon to appear to launch the program.
Reboot, delete the Dependencies folder which is in the folder that you downloaded and extracted.
Then re-run the set-up, this worked for me.

Should work , although I did just to make sure, it's only going to reinstall but with out the dependencies.
From my fingers to your face.
it would be nice if someone made a whatsapp version for win8
Hey where is it supposed to load the contacts since its on for like 5 mins and i still dont have my skype contacts
This looks great! After deleting the dependencies folder installed and runs like a charm! Good Job... Is there a way to add new contacts in this or accept requests though? I just don't see the option.
Great work!

i downloaded and tried to install as said in description but it was unsuccessful. then i noticed a weird thing.. All the buttons of metro changed. i dont know what went wrong and its really annoying to see such buttons.. Plez Help.
Screenshot on the Attachment!
:crying:
Worked like a charm! Thank you! For those trying to install: You can leave the Dependencies folder just where it was... for me it was working fine with, but gave an error without. One last thing: There doesn't seem to be an option to log out... I had to kill it via taskmanager lol...
Worked great. Thanks!
PS: Some other nice app available for Metro? I didn't find many... yet.

If you mean that RootEvo4Gnew.zip file:

The PC36IMG.zip file that you are looking for is inside the RootEvo4GNew.zip file. Right now, it just needs time to upload.

Downloaded from a different computer and still the same issue, file is corrupt. Trying to check the md5 value and it does not even give me a md5 at all matching or not. I am going to go to a friends house and try downloading it again.
Ok, I have tried from a 3 different computers, my tablet and my htc thunderbolt and everytime it ends up in a corrupt/invalid .zip file. Can anyone link me to a known good working file so I can downgrade my hboot and get s-off?

You downloaded from 3 different computers, probably through the same connection, but I believe you tried to run them from the same computer that failed every time, just a guess.
Just tried 2 of the links:
http://d-h.st/XJX
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/RootEvo4GNew.zip
and I'm currently in the process of trying the 3rd.
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/H...otEvo4GNew.zip from your link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1771755
They work just fine. The problem appears to be on your end. All three downloads are OK.
And if that's not the case, here is the same file that I have been using since last year that others have downloaded. So if this one fails as well, then yes, there is definitely something wrong on your end.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/P....15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.zip
Also, I'm going to downgrade and S-OFF my old Evo with the same files just to verify that they are OK.

Stop trying to open the zip files and you'll be fine . The ones in my thread are fine, as was mentioned.
In the past with my thunderbolt and downloading the same files I have noticed if I can not open the zip file and see what is in it then it will not properly flash. But just for the sake of argument I will do it your way.

If you have to you could always download the froyo RUU and pull the rom.zip from it, rename to PC36IMG.zip and flash
To do this, run the RUU but do not click anything after it opens
With the RUU still open, open a "Run..." window (WindowsKey + R) and type in "%temp%" then enter to go to your temporary files folder
Sort the files by date modified and go into the most recent folders, find a zip called "rom.zip" and copy that to your desktop
Close the RUU, rename the "rom.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" and you can then flash it through bootloader

Yep, the downloads do work. There is nothing wrong with any of the files. Phone went from 2.18, S-ON to 6.16, S-OFF without any issues from those same downloads.

I also forgot to mention that before trying to open them to see if it was corrupt or not I try to check the md5 of the zip file, it does not even give me a md5 it also says the files are corrupt. I will try again though
I'm having the same problem. I just finished repairing my old EVO and looking to downgrade it to 2.15. All the links have bad files. Tried D/L from work, friends house, parents, and to my SGS3. Always get the same message..."cant open the folder... zipped folder is invalid." I've been to numerous sites about this and i'm always directed to the same files. This isn't a rare issue, it's a lot of people. There's something wrong with those files.

No, there isn't. The zip files are encrypted, so most zip programs will throw an error if you try to open them. They should not be unzipped. The files from my post have always and still work fine. Just follow the instructions and stop trying to open the zip!
NOTE: Some browsers will try to automatically open the zip file when download is complete. In that case, try a different browser.
No go, sir. Opening the zip or not, the fact is it doesn't work. I have a few of these files and none of them are recognized when boot loader is brought back up to flash the file. It scans the zip, can't find file, image or anything. Its the same thing no matter which one I use. I'll keep looking for a good procedure and a decent download.

There's nothing wrong with Captain's files or the pc36img.zip files given on this page. They work just fine as usual. I just downloaded one (again) and confirmed it.
Is your phone S-Off? Did you flash a mtd-eng.img file to your misc partition, so that it will downgrade?
If you answer no to both of these questions, then the problem is not necessarily the zip files, but is likely on your end. And if you answered no to both of those questions, then the zip files are not likely going to work for you.
And, if one of your answers is yes, then it could be a problem with your sdcard. Sometimes they are full, or not formated correctly, or have some other issue, which will also cause the files to fail. You cannot always assume that just because a file does not work the way you expect it to, that it is necessarily something wrong with that file.

[Q] having problems with unpacking root files.

The link below is of the site im talking about, i rooted my note 4 no problem before with this and im doing someone else phone. I downloaded the root files, go to extract and i get error and it wont do it. tried it 3 times on 2 computers same result. suggestions?
had to put a space before (.com) so it didnt show up as a link.
androidxda .com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-sprint
Open the archive with 7zip or winwar and drag the files to an folder/location titled appropriately, like root or Odin under a main folder like SM-N910.
Thanks, i will try that when i get home. Just odd it worked fine when i did mine and now it says its corrupt.
No go with 7zip.

Also, no md5 to verify a good download. I'd suggest the proper link from this thread and use a PC to download. Maybe the source or bad download is what you're dealing with? You did try open archive and select all, drag to suggested folder, right? Don't recommend extraction; just double-click Odin, once folder is created, to execute and pick the file as directed in the thread below.

There's no need to rename the files/folders using linux. Opening the .zip file in explorer (win10) is enough to uncompress it, then tou can rename files/folders as you like.
The software installs and run just fine. Nubia Z17 is supported up to rel. 3.08 (so it seems exploring the "Recovery" folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\nubia\BackupRecoveryTool.
All the recovery files are in .7z format and password encrypted (don't know at the moment if the password is embedded into the recovery tool main program.
Don't have W10
<HS>
I've some problems too to unlock the boot loader.
After unlock it once and flash TWRP, all other attempts are KO (can't flash with adb).
I wanted to flash the "standard recovery" to install the OTA update (modded 3.08) and reflash after TWRP.
I'll test it later
