*Updated* How to Install Android games or Apps with APK, OBB/data file in any Android 2018 - Both geeks and game lovers do agree that HD games are really amazing on Android devices, merely staring at the size of one which could be as large as 350 to 400MB, it takes a whole lot of patience downloading a game that size (except with the aid of apps like flash share).
Even after the long wait, frustration starts when you get stuck at the process of Installing and Playing that awesome game on your Droid device, well, this should give us easiest tips on how we can solve this.
It's a new year and we have the updated & latest steps to install Android games with APK, OBB (cache) in your device in 2017. This works on mobile smartphones, tablets and many other Android OS powered gadgets.
After reading this Post:
Android games with cache usually come in two files, mainly
- APK
- and OBB files
The APK is first installed, (you may launch it if required), this will create folder(s), where the OBB files will be placed.
I prepared a real good example;
i. CK2v2.0.0.apk
ii. CK2v2.0.0.zip
Now use a File Explorer, There are so many File Explorers to use for this, like ES Explorer, but I make use of WinZip, get WinZip for Android here
Which ever one that is easy for you, just use it to find the game CK2v2.0.0.zip
2. When you open the CK2v2.0.0.zip with your WinZip, you should find the content inside like the screenshot below
3. Extract/Unzip the contents which is inside the CK2v2.0.0.zip into the same folder in your Memory card, after extracting, the content should be a folder with name "CK2.0.0data"
i.e >>> /mnt.sdcard/.Winzip/files/CK2v20.zip/CK2v2.0.0data
4. Go back to your CK2v2.0.0.apk, Launch it,
It will prompt to connect to internet, Accept, once it downloads upto 3MB, Cancel it.
A Folder is Automatically created for you to place your game data.
5. Now, go to where you extracted CK2.0.0data, open the folder, you should see another Folder in it named "com.glu.contractkiller2" Copy the folder
Again, go to : sdCard >> Android >> obb >> Paste the game data folder here
Your items should look like the screenshot below
And we are done!
Go to your Menu, and Launch the Game, it will Load and play successfully

thanks bro...it really helped me..
ReplyDeleteHi, when im installing on my phone it takes up double the space, example being that I tried to install the xcom obb and apk but when im copying it into the obb folder its saying theres an error and it uses up all the space on my phone. Ive installed games before without any issue and never really noticed more space being taken up but this one is really stumping me.
ReplyDeleteHi, I hav downloaded gta sanandreas but it has 3 files 1.(1.51gb)obb, 2.(256mb)and 3.(10mb)apk file I placed the obb file but now what about that 256mb file anyways game's not starting
ReplyDeleteInstall the (10mb).apk first
Deletethen go to your Android >> OBB folder, then move the remaining both file 1 and 2 into the Android >> OBB folder.
Go back, and start the game
Hope this works for you.
install apk,move obb file to android>obb,then move the other 1 files(256mb) in android>data.
Delete3 file problem with gta sanandreas
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing blog. I have found this blog very interesting because I have gotten the most read information. This blog help me out otherwise I don’t know how much time I have to spend for getting right information.

ReplyDeleteHelp me bro....
If it disappears then something is wrong with the Game's data, pls download from another site.
Deletedude, i did above things but game is not installed every time msg blink on screen is fail.
ReplyDeletehelp me yr.
Hi Vaibhav Patil.
Deleteif you get msg blink on screen or fail errors. then something is wrong with the Game's data, pls download the game from another site, and make sure your Android is rooted, some games need root access for it to install and play on Android.
Hey bro i download gta sa obb + apk i moved the data to sdcard/android/obb and installed the apk the launched it it says download finished and the a download progress bar comes and then it stops there forever
ReplyDeleteWhat if you download a game but you've only got the APK file and no DATA or OBB? Im trying to install the new Mojang game, Scrolls, for my LG G3, but ive only got the APK.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the game size, some use only files which you'll place in the folder >> Android/Data/file
DeleteBut heavy games use OBB files which goes to Android/obb/
Hope that answers your question. Thanks for dropping by
Did Evertything but says download failed because you may not have purchased this app
ReplyDeleteA for effort, but Nope - it doesn't work!
ReplyDeleteI installed contract killer 2 v3.0.3, then opened it and it says "download failed because you may not have purchased this app"
regardless, I then cleared the cache, created the correctly named wallet folder inside the Android\data\ folder
and also created the correctly named(com.g..) folder inside the Android\obb\ folder & placed the *.obb file in it
started up the app and it still only says: "download failed because you may not have purchased this app"
Hi Watchu Tawkin,
DeletePerhaps it could be the version of Contract Killer 2 that you have, please Download this one HERE . Install the APK, Don't do anything with folder called DATA,
just put the com.glu.contractkiller2.obb inside the OBB directory > sdcard >> Android >> OBB
that's what I used, Hope it works for you too
I am trying to install nfs most wanted on my moto g .I installed its apk first, then I copied its com.ea folder(1.95gb) to android/data but when i launch the game it starts downloading all over again..
ReplyDeleteAny help ?!!
Hi Ani,
DeleteI suggest you take off the com.ea folder(1.95gb) from the Android/data
Un-install the APK and Install again. Now open it, Allow connection to download some Data of the game. Then replace the com.ea folder(1.95gb) with that small Data that you downloaded with the APK. Hope it works.
I download walking dead assault, and when I placed them on the Obb file and Installed it and opened the app the Obb disappears and it tells me that the resources could not be located, I download from every site I could download it from and still there isn't a single one that worked.
ReplyDeletetrying to get wipeout 2 but when i try to start the game up it says Sign-in error - There was an issue with sign-in
ReplyDeleteafter reading your comment, I tried WipeOut 2 and it installed on my Kitkat Android. When you open the game, press cancel when you see "Sign-in error" or "you're ask to update playstore to latest version" , just press cancel, the game will ignore and start.
DeleteI downloaded GTA of 672mb in zip format, so after extracting it i only saw the cache and i couldn't find the apk file, pls really need help
ReplyDeletehi petsam, if you see only the Obb folder after extracting the 672mb, then You'll need to download the APK seperately from another site, you didn't tell us which GTA you want to install, is it GTA Vice city? or GTA San Andreas so we can find the right APK for you
DeleteI have download wwe 2k game. I have download 2 part zip file.but after extract these file its show same Cobb folder and same file .now what can do?
ReplyDeleteHi i have downloaded asphalt 8 game n I playing for long time, now I want to free my internal memory without losing this game, so I just planned to move asphalt 8's obb file from internal to external.
ReplyDeleteDoes it work r not, or I have to do some other thing.
Pls guide me.
I'm using ASUS T00j android 4.4.2.
Thanks & Regards
Mahadevaswamy.M
Hi Mahadeva Swamy M,
DeleteI am not Sure the game will Work after you move the OBB to the new location.
I advice that you back up the OBB file in your PC, and backup the APK too, then Uninstall it from your Asus. You will need to Start over and install it in your External disk (new location).
If you wish to continue game where you stopped, solution is to back up the Asphalt 8 "Data" Folder, you will find the data folder in-- Android/Data/
Hope that helps
Hey,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion,
I have already moved APK file into external storage. Shud I uninstall n install again in external storage after taking APK n obb backup..?
Yes, that' exactly what you should do
DeleteI tried the above things in another new phone, but it's showing invalid licence.
DeleteIf The game is properly installed See this Post on how to Remove invalid license in Android games.
DeleteHi! I need some help regarding this procedure. II've downloaded an apk & OBB data of visible body atlas. I installed the apk & extracted the data & certificates from the OBB file and moved it to storage/sdcard0/Android/OBB but the app won't work. I repeated the procedure several times (btw, i used archiver & rar) but it only says "download failed because the app couldn't find resource file" or something like that. I tried it on my htc & oppo but the same problem occurs. Please help, thanks in advance! :D
ReplyDeleteHi Aria,
DeleteUninstall and try this....
If you take a close look at the file names, the APK file for the game ends in.APK
and the Data ends in .obb.
The certificates for that game cannot be with the Obb hence cannot be saved in the "storage/sdcard0/Android/OBB" folder. Look closely, if you have a folder with name "Data" , inside the folder, depending on how the game was extracted by the Uploader, but you re meant to see another folder having the Game name, now move this Folder to "storage/sdcard0/Android/Data"
Then move file name with .OBB to "storage/sdcard0/Android/OBB
Launch the game again and let's see if that works.

ReplyDeleteHi vigneshwar vikky,
DeleteSome games need you to get both the Apk, data and Obb. Download the game data from another site which you will put inside the Android /data.
Now put the Obb file in the right folder as you did before. It should work that way. Hope that answers it

Hello George, thanks for the compliments.
DeleteSome games just crash during game play, the reason is usually from development stage when producing the games. Such error is not in our own power to fix, but there might be patches for it. So search online for Patch file for that game.
