We have (had) a first-gen 16GB Nexus 7 that got damaged. It was not rooted. I periodically rsynced all the accessible files to my desktop. The last backup is nearly a month old, so some of the apps may have been updated since then. We just replaced with with a second-gen 32GB Nexus 7 running the same 4.2.2. This one has been rooted without modifying the bootloader.
I've tried copying all the obb files from our games (NOVA 3, Order & Chaos, Great Big War Game, Bloons Tower Defense 5, etc) from the desktop back to the new N7, but they just get ignored, putting the player back at the beginning of the game. I tried copying them before the games were installed, hoping the game would update the obb files as necessary during installation. No luck. I tried copying the obb files after the game was installed. Again, the game still ignores the old files, treating me as a new user with no history.
Any idea what's going on, and how I can get the games to recognize the old files so we don't lose all our history?
We should be getting the unrepaired, older N7 back from Asus eventually, complete with its cracked display. We may or may not be able to use it well enough to root it & pull all the 'data' directory from it.

Hey Ppl
Someone who knows about the "save games" from Gameloft are stored on the device's memory or on the SdCard?

Just very good and wide
I´ve talking with gameloft today and they say the saved games are stored on the phone memory and not the sdcard memory (working only with Android 2.2)
X10 saves games are store on SD, in '/sdcard/gameloft/' and then the specific game folder.

Why do you need to? If you are restoring your phone or something titanium backup will keep you at same state in all your apps

Gameloft games dump a lot of data onto your SD card, which I don't think Titanium backup touches - I discovered this when my phone crashed and rebooted whilst playing Dungeon Hunter, which corrupted the files it stores there (mainly graphic & sound files). Once the game restored these files from the Gameloft server I found I'd lost my savegames too. Tried to use Titanium Backup to restore what it had (probably wouldn't have my most recent saves, but would have grabbed older files), I found it didn't restor any save data.
HunteronX is right dong, the files are saved on your SD card.
Citat mail from Gameloft:
Hello
Games from Gameloft are saved on the internal memory on the device, also saved games are also saved directly onto the devices internal memory

Actually HunteronX is right. Have a look at your sd card & see.

the game files are saved on the sd card, but the save states are saved to internal memory. I'm 100% positive as I've switched roms many times and had to start game from the beginning due to not saving the apk+data, only the apk
Oh, now I see- the Gameloft games just have game data (sounds,sprites,etc) on the sd card. Saving is internal, I had them confused with Camelgames (Shoot U etc) that save on sd.
Got it.
I think u find it in data/data/com.gameloft.android."name of the game" on the internal memory.
Click on it and then copy the folder/file named data.sav
I found Lets Golf save files that way.
Hope this helps...

You rigth... I found all saves of my gameloft games in there.
Was revisiting some old android gameloft games, specifically The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR), and wanted to backup my save data, as it has been about 10+ years since this thread was created, things have changed a bit with Android 13, and it is similar but slightly different.
The following path is roughly where you can expect to find the save data for old gameloft games on Android 13 (not sure about modern ones):
Code:
/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/com.gameloft.android.GAMENAMEORWHATEVER
Replace GAMENAMEORWHATEVER with what ever the short name they used for the game may be, for example for TDKR on android it is
Code:
/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftKRHM
For reference, inside that folder there are a few .dat files (a.dat, b.dat and so on) and I just backed all those up elsewhere then deleted them from the path above and started the game. As I suspected the save data was not shown by the game anymore since the files containing it were gone. When I put the .dat files back in the same directory the game recognized my save data once again so I confirmed that is where TDKR stores the save data at least.
Hope this helps anyone else that may happen to stumble upon this thread like I did in the near future.
Hi
i bought the PIPO m1 tablet
and i tried installing all kinds of games (not from the playstore) like Asphalt 7
in the instruction i was told to copy afolder to the SDcard/Android/Obb....
this tablet does not have sdcard and when i checked under android folder ther was no Obb folder ???
i tried to buld one and copy the files there but still witout success
what is this folder and why its not on the Tablet
Thanks
\TK
Oob folder is where game data are stored. If it doesnt exist create that folder and paste the gamedata. Also you may need to patch framework.jar on you m1 as majority of the gameloft games has issues starting up their games on m1 . Tty googling "pipo m1 gameloft fix"

Thanks
Ill look for it
You know if that problem exist on the pipo m8 also ?
You're talking about pirated apps here, aren't you? That's not allowed. Where did you download Asphalt 7 from? Google Play Store and Amazon App Store both automatically download the game data. If not that then most games download the data into the right folder on first launch. None of the games, especially popular games like Asphalt 7, will ask you to download game data from somewhere else and put it in the obb folder unless it's a pirated game and working around the initial license check.
Most of people use pirated apps
Very few pays for them

You are right, but sometime even I launch the games purchased from Google Play, it has trouble downloading external data if you deleted them and try to redownload them again. Therefore, sometime it it is handy to keep everything in an obb file yourself for the future. Please keep in mind that I DO NOT ENCOURAGE people to pirate apps, I just buy the idea of obb...
Use Root Explorer if phone is rooted
Like the title says, use a root explorer and you should find the obb file.
No apps in Playstore tells you to copy the files to OBB, its obviously pirated
Hey, I installed Call of Duty Strike Team and after playing it once, obb was disappeared from obb folder and game isn't working.But, after uninstalling the game ,only apk is gone and the missing obb file is occupying my internal storage and I can't delete or find it.Please help and can't find solution anywhere.My device is rooted.My device is Samsung Galaxy Tab 3v PLEASE HELP............!

true but some apps like tap titans. creates OBB if i flash rom i like doing clean isntallation.. and i dont want to download the data again.. so i copy the obb as well and i replace it back. tap titans is free..
I have the same problem. I downloaded Asphalt 8 from the play store, about 1.5GB but I can't find its OBB files. It works fine though.
Hi everyone.
I have some high-graphics games on my Nexus 7. They all ran well until the device downloaded and updated to Android 4.2. Now, some games including Prince of Persia, Sonic 4, Real Boxing, ... do not run. They all say they can not 'find' their data files (usually located at sd\android\data or sd\android\obb). NFS Most Wanted (has separate data) and all other games that do not have separate data files work perfectly.
I guess it must be related to the change Android made in its storage structure. '0' and 'legacy' appeared and it seems that my games can not find their data files any more.
Is there anything I can do to get my lovely games back?
Thanks.
So the thing is that 2 days back I transferred Asphalt 8 obb file from Sony Xperia L to my Moto E into the folder Android/obb. Everything was working fine, game was running smoothly etc etc. Now today when I tried to open the game, it said that I don't have enough space left(1.92 gb) full. I was wondering why it needs more space!
Then I tried looking into apps space and every other place but couldn't find where the damn obb file went and yet space was full. I tried deleting obb folder but it kept saying operation failed. My data was taking up only 1 mb of all storage space.
Finally, in the end I had to factory reset and then the storage became normal once again.
So can anybody tell me what might be the cause of it? Only 2 apps were installed- Superbeam and Asphalt 8.
Also, anyway not to reproduce this problem again?
If you are rooted, next time you can use TricksterMod to rescan your media:
Trickster MOD-->Tools-->Media Scanner
If you don't have root and rebooting does not helps, there are many alternatives available on play store. Though I have not tried them.

Not sure but it seems relevant to the game data. 'Cause you were unable to delete it. IMHO, transferring game files from one device to another is not a sure shot process. I've experienced many issues with that. It is time and bandwidth consuming but you should prefer to re-downloading the game data.
I am using the latest F-droid build of Retroarch (aarch64) which is from today, since it seems to get an update every day.
The device I am running is a rooted Amazon FIre TV 2 (codename Sloane)
For the past few days, I have been unable to save via a game's in game saving option. Save States still work fine, and so does changing config options for Retroarch itself as well as Cores.
I have been exiting properly, as I have read that if you just kill the app saves don't usually get retained as they are not written to a file until Retroarch closes. I have the SaveRAM autosave interval option set to the default 10 seconds, but I have also been trying to close the core and then exit Retroarch, as well as exit Retroarch eith the core still running, to see if that helps, to no avail.
I have not changed the save directory. The only directories I changed is the system folder and the File Browser start folder to USB, as that is where I keep the BIOS pack and my games, but the saves are set to the default location on internal memory.
Saving was working just fine about a week ago on mGBA, which was the only core I had installed at the time. But I have since installed PCSXreARMed and the Opera 3DO cores. I only noticed this issue two days ago when I tried to save my progress in the 3DO version of Killing Time. I have not tried to save anything in PCSX, but considering mGBA no longer saves, I would imagine it would do the same.
I am using apps2sd pro to "expand" my internal memory and link bigger apps to a 20gb EXT4 partition on the 32gb microsd card I have installed in Fire TV. I thought the fact that I have linked Retroarch into the sd might have caused the issue, but unlinking and even completely re-installing did not fix the problem. The Retroarch folder where all of the default directories were stored are still in the real internal memory even when the rest of the app is linked to the microsd. I have also used the app's SDFix function to allow apps to save to external storage, but Retroarch still doesn't save even if I try to save my games to the 10gb FAT32 partiton of my sdcard (which the Fire TV can use normally), or to a folder in my USB drive.
Thankfully I at least have the savestates, but I would really prefer to be able to use the actual save function in the games themselves. Any help would be appreciated.
