Downloaded a .rar file to my phone and was hoping sum1 could help me figure how to install it. Whether there's an app that can help me do so or if I have to redownload it on my computer, extract and then transfer.....Pls any info sum1 can help me with would be greatly appreciated.....
You can use 7zipper to extract the .rar file using the phone..
Play store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tm_medium=organic&utm_term=7zipper+play+store
Swyped from my GT-i9100
AndroZip is the best application to extract ".rar" ".zip" ".7z"....etc
Search in the Playstore.

Hello there.. U can only install .zip files in yr phone through CWM recovery mode. For apps in the .rar files, simply extract it to yr phone and install it like any normal .apk file...
This app supports even password protected far files..its a paid app but really useful as I found no other app supporting password protected rar files

if u flash kernels or roms in recovery mode, it should be in .zip file.. u should be able to find the .zip file u transferred either in external memory(sd card) or internal memory(phone memory) in ''install .zip files in sdcard'' option in recovery mode.. hope that helps..

Check your phone model in settings>about phone>Model number if its GT-I9100 then its international SGS2 or else head to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II (under variants section) . You can find PDA and modem versions by tying *#1234# . Hope this helps!:good:

title says it all. running stock rooted. turns out, it has gone out of date. i am not running an alternate rom bcuz i need to return my evo in a few days (little bro cracked the screen). i just tried to unroot today, and got the main version older fail. i am on a mac, so any help would be much appreciated.
i have simular prob shipped roms .co has them as exe file run them in order full unroot i sadly have toasted usb which is needed to do this and right now can get fixed for like 30n bucks but cant figure how to get them on fone need flashable ,,,, ithink hope helps
pretty noobish just read alot recently with my prob
I know about these exe files. They are the sprint ruu files, and are common knowledge. The problem is, I don't have a pc. It would be great if I got a Mac fix.

Dont know if this is what you wanted but i've unrooted fine using this file just put in sd card and enter bootloader. I got it from the how to unroot thread in the dev forum the name of the guy i got it from escapes my mind at the moment.

Would be helpful to know what all you have tried... Have you tried this?
Dial ##3282#. Tap edit and enter your MSL. Tap Others and go to the MMSC URL. Change this URL to http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc
I use to have a MetroPCS rom but I accidentally deleted, however I do recall what was where. As the above poster said, make sure the mmsc url is in ##Data##, and about yu getting everything else working, was that by using iptables? If so, not all roms support that. And if you never used iptables the first place, that may be your issue at hand here. MMS traditionally does not require 3g data, but for it to work on epic, it does.

I can aide you on the password, it used to be metropcs a long time ago, its now a calculated unique code from your meid, there's an app that tells you what your calculated code is if you look for it on the market. I would link you but the latest market with the google +1 feature doesn't have a share button anywhere.. its called MEID converter.

[HOWTO] Go Back to Stock
OK THANKS
ok heres the deal thanks guys.....i used a insucure kernel to flash....(root).....then did a nandroid....before rom.....but i dont know if having a inscure kernel is stock....plus the big one i cant get rid of superuser(cant find it in astro) plus what is this counter thing in download mode it used to say 0 now it says 1 ...i was told a jig resets this back to zero? is haveing a insecure kernerl really stock? it says stock but can they tell if if the kernel is insucure? or by this counter in download mode? did i do right by doing a nandroid before rom? if so is this nandroid the closet thing to stock? i flashed a stock kernel but is this the same thing as the insecure one.................i know this is alot of questions but like i said the g2x was far more easier to deal with or my previous galaxys.......please dont bash me.....

Well I'm pretty sure if flashed a new an then a old it will brick but I can't be sure honestly cause I usually don't have problems but I don't know sorry I cant help much
ITS fine I find it quite Chilling That this forum is dead. This phone is not even that old and runs like a chap you wold think people would still be using this an stuff. Like go on the Atrix 2 forum you will be unbricked in 5 min thiss3 **** is terrible..
dsil i suggest you do research for yourself you might need this one day an you will be screwed
Its just sad I've lost faith in this forum after today
God Forbid If I or Someone was Hard Bricked LMAO good luck with that. It would be like finding the cure for cancer
