Can't copy files to "Obb'' folder.

[venom0706]

When I try to install game files from my PC to my Galaxy S4 Mini, it shows an error during the copying to the folder "Obb", everytime by the end of the copying.When I copy the files to the other folder ("Data") everything is fine.When I copy the files from "Data" to "Obb" from my smartphone, everything is again ok.Any suggestions what the problem might be?Thank you.

Which OS are you using? JB 4.2? Is it rooted?

Heard that the Obb folder is write protected, and can be copied only using the phone which is rooted.

Yes, the version is 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean). I did the copy from the smartphone without it been rooted.

Many users on 4.2 reported the same problem. Must be write protection.
Since you're able to copy it with your phone, no need to panic.

Just use your phone to do the job for you.

Regards.

Hi venom

I encountered the same problem as well. The folder seems to be write protected. I am using Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 and I believed I understood Fernando's method coz it worked for me. Initially I installed the apk files and then tried in vain to copy the obb folder to the "android/obb" folder. How it works for me was that I copied the obb files to any other folder from my PC. Then using the internal android file management (eg for samsung it is My File), i copied the file/folder of the obb and paste it at the intended folder of the android/obb. It worked for me.

Hey just found a way to copy to the obb folder.

* First you copy the file from your pc into the downloads folder on your phone...
* Disconnect USB from phone...
*Copy files on the phone to the obb folder(do not move file. ### COPY###, you will get an error if you try to move)

For some reason this works......
