How to install?

Hi there, I just bought a new HTC 2 Pro and upgrade to 6.5, so now I want to install a few application that I download from here but all I see is files and a setup.xml, there is no .cab file on it. Can some body tell how can I work this out.
Thank You.

What kind of files besides the xml? What were you trying to install?

Does the file you download appear as a .zip when you find all the files (like _setup.xml)? Your internet browser might be renaming the .cab extension on the downloaded files to .zip. When you're looking at the file you downloaded on your computer, does it show up with the extension .cab or .zip (does it look like a filing cabinet or a zipped folder)? If the file with _setup.xml inside it shows up as a ZIP file, rename the extension to .cab, place it on your device somewhere, and open it with File Explorer Mobile (on your device). You're likely opening the cab file one way or another

Thank you for your replys. I am trying to install (Srub) in my phone. when I extrac the files to a folder all I see is _setup.xml, 000scrub.000, 000scrub.001 and thats it. So do I have to rename one of this to .cab? if it is which one is?

my money is on the file you extracted those files from
rename that to cab

Problem Resolve, I upgrade to the later Rom (EnergyROM Leo! Landscape and Documents!) and this rom have an application named (Pocket Rar) so I just create a folder inside my Doc and launch the .cab from there. I love it!!! Thank You all for your help.

[Q] Extract Files from ROM

Hi there,
Is it possible to extract files from ROMs here?
Tried open with 7-zip, but only i see are errors.

what exactly out of the roms are you trying to open?

Sorry, i tried open ROMS for CWM, like PRIME or Revolver.

ok but what type of file? is it just a zip or is it the blob file

It's a blob file inside the cwm rom zip file... what to do?

Maybe try this?

How to zip files in Windows

Hello! Okay the title pretty much says it all, I have followed this guide to port the newly released MIUI 2.7.20 from the hercules to our skyrockets and to make the file switches i had to "extract" both archives. Now I have everything changed that needs to be but no way to re zip it to flash? I tried 7zip and Winrar and they just made a zip file that housed the original file inside (cant flash that). Any help would be great, Thanks

[Completed] Need an update to my RK3066 that isn't in RAR type but rather ZIP.

i need an update to my RK3066 to 4.4.4 kitkat that isn't in RAR type but rather zip. I've downloaded a couple different ones from the Malaysk profile on XDA and then converted to zip only to have my device recognize it as a bad file. any options?

Hi !
What did you use to convert it ? The zip or rar are the same
You maybe want a zip file in order to flash it in recovery but you have downloaded a rar which isn`t recognized
Open the rar archive and use the files from inside of it , it may contain an image an you have to use that one
Good luck !

i did try and flash update w/ the rar but the tablet didn't recognize a rar ext. So i converted to a zip and the tablet stopped because it stated it was a bad file. I thought something may have messed up during the conversion and did it again but same result. I've looked everywhere for updates to 4.4.4 for this tablet but no luck. the ones that i did try and flash would open update and then abort the install.

As I said, I understand what you have tried, now please listen to me, the rar file is not a flashable zip and you cannot just convert it to zip in order to flash it, the flashable zip file results from building the ROM not converting rar to zip
Rar and zip are indeed both archives but the zip you need is a flashable zip as I mentioned above
Open that rar and tell me what you have inside
As for roms, if here on xda aren't available then contact the manufacturer's website or go deeper into Google, as far as I can see there is no ROM for your device here on xda

Trying to Create Flashable Zip from TWRP Backup

Hello I have two HTCu11's one is completely untouched the other has been customized. On the untouched I have loaded TWRP and the disable encrypt with magisk. I did a factory reset on the untouched to where it was literally sitting at the Welcome screen. I then took a backup which obviously I should be able to use on any U11 with the right signature. I want to now create a flashable zip so I moved the files to my pc. The guide I was reading says:
You’ll see a file named system.ext4.win which is the System partition backup of your device. Rename it to system.ext4.tar (Changing its extension from .win to .tar)
However in my backup there are three files named:
system.ext4.win000
system.ext4.win001
system.ext4.win002
Logic would just say that this is a split archive and I need to rename all of them to .tar and then do the unzip. Is this correct?
If there is a better guide for creating a flashable zip from TWRP I would gladly look at it. The guide I was using is:
Create Flashable Zip From CWM/TWRP Backup
Create Flashable Zip from a Nandroid backup and flash them using any of the recovery. Follow this step-by-step guide to make a flashable Zip by yourself.

So I got an answer on renaming files which was to just rename them to win000.tar, win001.tar, and win002.tar. Next opened the archive with 7-Zip and extracted to a completely different folder called NewHTCU11. A lot of the stuff extracted however there were supposedly according to 7-zip 15 errors. All were the same where it stated:
Can not open output file. The system cannot find the path specified. S:\(specified directory\specified filename
