On some sites that are associated with the popular firmware, applications are downloaded in RAR format. Why did you do that? This reduces the file size and motivates to download programs that open the archived application.

So in the RAR format, the application cache is saved, which must be further unloaded into the game folder. Below are the applications that allow you to open archived files:

• RAP. A free utility for your phone that works smoothly and is provided to the user for free. In addition to unpacking ZIP, RAR, and other files, it can compress and pack them.
• 7Zipper - File Explorer. This is not only an archiver, but also a useful tool for managing files. True, some permissions will be required.
• Total Commander - file manager. One of the most popular programs that allows you to view archives and work with them. A text editor is built into it and the Russian language is supported.

And you can use a computer that always has the ZIP file unpacker preinstalled. Download the desired program, open it through the computer and transfer files to the phone’s memory.
