Sync your device with ActiveSync. Transfer the cab file to your device. Browse to where you copied the cab file on your device with a file browser (Total Commander, File Explorer, etc.) and then run the cab file (this is within your device, not on your computer).
Welcome to the wonderful world of flashing lol. Im actually suprised that you flashed a rom but haven't read on .cabs yet
Anyway if you have the .cab downloaded to your pc just copy it to your sdcard. Then use file explorer to navigate to where you placed the .cab, select it and it will install. Most cabs will ask if you want to install to device or sdcard, it's that simple. Good Luck
Thanks everyone!!! Im hooked!

Lurker and 2nd time post.
Hello!
Started developing my 8525 this week.Went with the Bulletproof 1.40 oil Hard SPL, Black WM6 2.5, Sim unlocker.
Question is this:
I need help loading the BlackWM6 keyboard fix. Do I do this from my desktop thru active sync, from the my docs on the phone or Manually?
Same goes for running the ADD-ON .cabs to allow cingular Video/ Realplayr fix.
Cant figure out the install. Googled and Forum searched 'keybord' couldent find the help.
Thank you!

Hate to say it but you need to read. Copy the CAB file to your device. Then open the CAB from the device. It will then prompt you to install. If it is something accessed intensely then put it on the device. If not then install it to the storage card.

Thank you. I know there is a tutorial for it somewhere but I cant find it.
The Files included in the Keyboard fix for the Black 2.5 will not execute on my Desktop or my 8525. I have them copied to my storage card and when I click on any of the files they tell me it is not associated and that I need to open the file from within the application..I dont know what program the files are associated to.

Are these *.cab files or *.zip files???
I thought they would act as cab files but they identify as 0csetup...001... 002.... 003
files not as cab or zip.

I dont know what your are running. Delete those a get the keyboard fixes which you need. What is the exact device you are using and the carrier? What keys are not working correctly? Where did you get those fixes??? If they are not *.cab files then dont run them.
Don't extract the cab files - copy them directly to your storage card and run them from there.
Yes That was the trick thank you. I had DLed them to my Desktop and tried to transfer the files in activesynch. DLed to my phone and it was golden.
Thanks for your patience.
when I download the files, I don't have cab files. For instance, I downloaded the CHTEditor. It downloaded as a zip file w/ the .cab extension. when I click it to unzip, there are no cab files. Just some kind of file w/ the little windows icon next to it. Is there some way to download the .cab file for editor (and all the other files that do this to me) ota?
I think you are in the wrong forum. It's not a HD2 problem but a windows problem. Maybe a Mod will move your thread to the right forum.
if you "run" a cab on your pc it opens like a zip. instead copy the whole cab to your phone and run it.the phone sees it as an installer.

you ROCK! I have been trying to figure that out for the past 2.5 weeks. THANK YOU!!!
I just put Kumar's v 2.0 custom flash on my phone and want swype on it. I downloaded the .cab file but have no idea what to do with it. Do I just extract it into my Custom RUU folder and re-flash it with the cab files in there?
No, you sync your phone with your pc and open your flash memory,then drag and drop the cab into it. Then explore it on your device with File Explorer and install it from there.
I think this should be moved to General
Excellent, thank you

do NOT unzip the downloaded .cab file , just copy this cab file to the storagecard of your phone , after that open file explorer on your phone and navigate to your storagecard , once there just tap the .CAB file and install it on the storagecard
latest Cookie homeTab : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345890&d=1276946735
latest CHTEditor : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345872&d=1276943659
install both cab"s
thanks for all your help
Keep in mind when using certain things that they have to be on the device directory and not the storage card. A few examples are cleanRam and registry editors because they need to be installed to the device to be able to perform the way you want and recognize the components it searches for.
Hello, my name is Joe. I need a little help with running the downloaded files directly from the HTC HD2. I have downloaded various applications from the forum, and coppied them to the Micro SD card like asked. When I go onto the file/folder on the HD2, and try to tap on it to start the install, I get redirected to the web browser.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Dude,
Give an example of what you have tried to install and what file format it was when you downloaded it.
Most are .cab files and install just by clicking them in file manager
I have downloaded:
26. 4 column start menu
BsB Tweaks 1.6
cleanRAM
KeypldLedControl_v0.4
Personalizer_2.0
TorchButton_v2.3
I have extracted the files on my PC via WinRAR, Then placed the extracted folders directly onto the MicroSD root. Most of the files appear something a little like this: '0CAB18A7.005' Or something varied like that. On Windows the setup file is recognized as an XML document, and the others end in numbers. Like: '001, 002, 003 etc.
Cheers
You've extracted cab files haven't you?
Don't do that. Just copy the cab files to your phone or SD and run them directly.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
If I don't extract, the files will then be in ZIP format. Is this what has to be done?

It's a fake zip file. in reality it's a cab file.
Cab files are self installing files.
so conclusion, don't extract them.
I ****ing love you guys!
