[Completed] How to "push" files from a zip-ped app

Hi I have a China tablet that has no apparent "recovery" and I'm afraid of flashing a recovery and risk bricking it.
I want to try to install a zipped app. (Maxx Audio) the file structure is
- Meta-INF
- System
somewhere in the "system" there is an apk file
I presume I "install" that apk file, then copy all the files under "system" into the "system" folder of my tablet?
Where do i put "meta-INF" files?
Thank you very much. Apologies for sounding dumb. I have googled for a few days and found no answer so I thought I'd ask at XDA.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist and it's difficult to point you towards a specific forum since you didn't provide any information about which device/ROM/file you have in mind. The file you describe seems to be a common "flashable ZIP" designed to be loaded by a custom recovery such as TWRP. Without such a recovery, you would need to study the steps included in whatever scripts are in the "meta-INF" directory and duplicate them manually from a terminal emulator prompt or maybe from an ADB link to a desktop or laptop, an eminently dangerous endeavor NOT recommended unless you're positive you know what you're doing. If you need more information, try asking with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. You could also ask wherever you found the file you're attempting to install.
Good luck!

Thank you. In the zip thread someone said just to install the apk and then push the files and it worked for him.

It all depends on what command(s) the script in the ZIP file contains but I'm sure whoever uploaded the file can help you. As mentioned earlier, we cannot provide technical support here, sorry.

[Completed] Does Samsung odin support .zip extension files?

Please let me know, Does Samsung odin support .zip extension files?

Thank you for using XDA Assist. No it does not. But if you're downloading a stock firmware you do download a zip file. Use 7-zip or winrar to extract it. You want to end up with a .tar.md5 file. If you could provide us with your device and specific issue you are having we could point you in the right direction.

I have a rooted Alcatel One Touch Pop 7 P310A and i can't find any place that explains EXACTLY how to unpack this file and how to insert it into my phone. (I have always had a Samsung phones and used TWRP and Odin, but there isn't a TWRP, and i don't think i can use Odin with this CWM file as it isn't a .tar file its a .img file. Please help.

Hello,
MD5 is used as a checksum to verify data integrity, but only against unintentional corruption.
You can't make a zip out of MD5 file.
You have to make out of stock firmware for your device.

Hello,
You need to do it manually.
Add meta-inf folder from any ROM of your device and zip it.
