📱 Mobile Phone (Android) Guide 📱
🫴🏻 Step 1-
" Don't Use ZArchiver App "
Download this "RAR" App instead from Google Play Store

🫴🏻 Step 2 -
Download ALL of the files Carefully using Plus Messenger on Android Phone. (If possible Do not Use Telegram App.)
Again ... Make sure you download ALL the split archive files completely. If the file is 2000 MB, sometimes the download might stop at 1700 MB, and if you extract that, errors will pop up during extraction.
🫴🏻 Step 3 -
Open the File Manager app and go to the download location
✨ Settings will be -
Android > data > files > Plus Or Telegram.
Note : If your File Manager doesn't have these options ... Go Install a Different File Manager app from the Play store then TRY .
Then move ALL parts together in the same folder BEFORE you try to extract.
Create A Folder ... name it " A " & Move all the completely Downloaded files there .
🫴🏻 Step 4 -
While All the files are Moving in the Folder 📂 ( Folder " A " ). ... Don't open Anything else in your phone ... It might make the files Damaged.
Make sure these files are equal in size (except the last part which could be smaller and that is OK)
🫴🏻 Step 5 -
Now, Go that New Folder ( Folder A ) & extract only part 001 " RAR " app's latest versions .
Press only part 001 ... Click " Extract here "
If the files are password 🔑 Protected then It will ask for the Password ... Then put the password in carefully making sure no spaces at the beginning or end. You do NOT extract part 002, 003, 004 and 005 don't even touch those parts.
🫴🏻 Step 6 -
Now wait and it will all automatically extract into one new folder. You don't get multiple folders you only get one as the split pieces have now been merged back together. Usually the process of extracting videos from split archive files will be over by now but in some situations you need to go to step 7
🫴🏻 Step 7 -
If after extracting you have one new file with no extension, it is still an archive even though it does not look like one.
You have two options now -
✨ Option 1 - Extract that file again using " RAR " App ...Press the file “extract here”. Sometimes it must be extracted twice for it to work.
✨ Option 2 - You can rename that new file by right mouse click and “rename” and add .rar or .zip to the end.
See the split 🪓 files again ... If its extensions are " .zip " then rename it with .zip at the end.
Or ,
If The split 🪓 file's extensions are " .rar " then Rename it with " .rar " at the end.
Now try to extract it again and it should work.
🫴🏻 Step 8
- If you still can't extract the split archive files after following those 7 steps, then you messed up somewhere. You have to repeat the Process again carefully following the guide Here.
