Use adb to push the OBB file into that location, or use an apk like 3cx droiddesktop to either ftp or web ftp the files and folder to the proper location.

I found that pushing to the /Android/obb folder runs with no errors but doesn't actually write the files. So you can push to the /download folder, then use a file manager and move it to the obb folder/ I think it is /mnt/storage/legacy/download. Not in front of the firetv to doublecheck.

I've had no problems using the push command to get files into /sdcard/Android/obb/.

Alright. I need help with this and Google can't help me. I need to recursively (i.e. all of the content in the directory) move an entire folder from Windows to my internal sd-card but no matter what I do, I just can't get it to work.
I now there's a way, somehow.
EDIT: Pitch-in: The sd-card is mounted as /mnt/sdcard/ right?
what about just zipping it? i dont think adb can do that easily
Lets say you have a folder called Wallpapers on your PC use the code below (assumes you copied Wallpapers folder to android-sdk\platform-tools):
Code:
adb push Wallpapers /sdcard/Wallpapers/
If you don't specify the destination folder (Wallpapers) on the sdcard then it will place the contents of the folder on your sdcard. No need for mnt in the destination.
Edit: unsure of how this will behave with subdirectories within the folder you're trying to push. You might have to push each subdirectory separately.

Working for me as I type. I don't know about the sub-directories as I just put everything into one folder and will move them to their new home once they finish transferring. Up until now, I've been moving everything individually. I didn't know you could move folders so this is awesome. Save me a lot of typing lol.

a thanks is enough, no need to necrobump a thread over a YEAR old, just to say it works.
I honestly just zip the file with all directories on my computer than adb it over. Extract with root explorer and move then delete zip file. Easy and simple

Im stupid.... This is best idea lol, and so obvious...
So I rooted my Galaxy s4 yesterday but the Obb folder in my sdcard/android folder is still write protected. I tried going on Root Explorer and changing the permissions but it won't let me. I also tried renaming it, changing the permissions, and renaming it again but it crashes Root Explorer and resets the permissions back to normal. How do I get around this?
Any reason why you need to write to your obb folder? Are you pirating apps??

No, I have already bought the games but I want to download modded versions of them just for the sake of doing as I please in the game. But the write protection is in the way.
Found a solution
I found that if you use AntTek Explorer and go to Device Root/Storage/Sdcard0/Android/obb, you will find the obb folder that is not write protected. I transferred my obb file from my computer to the Android folder and just used the app to drag the obb file into the obb folder. I'm not sure if this works on other root explorers. Good luck
I have version 1.4 of GTA III installed on my XPeria Play but on the data folder there is only the save files now, the audio, cfg files and the rest are no longer on the sdcard/andriod/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/data folder, to be precise in the folder sdcard/andriod/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/ there is only the save files and nothing else. Any one has any idea on were these files are located with this version of GTA III?
If I'm not mistaken didn't that version become .obb format? I have 1.3 installed it still hase the files on sd card, if it is. Obb format, then just transfer the obb file over to a computer rename it from. .obb format to zip format then extract to a folder then modify and heres where its tricky for vice city modding .obb files we keep the unzipped. Obb file on the folder in the data part of android folder on our sd card so you would put the unzipped modified Obb file on sdcard/android/data/ com.rockstar.gta3
Then rezip the modified obb and place it in the sdcard/data/obb/ com.rockstar.gta3 folder or what ever its named rename the obb file from zip format to obb format then load game if modifed and works the ccame should load and the mods should take place, like I can have the world trade center in gta vc but the txd files aee hidden with no access so its only tan building with no color to them or definition

Thanks! (I hit the thanks button also) Indeed GTA 3 ver 1.4 uses the OBB that is the same as a Zip file. Time to have more fun messing around with the game that is already a lot of fun to mess around in. :silly:

I Copied the OBB to My PC
Renamed it from OBB to ZIP
Extracted the contents
Modified the handling.cfg
Added them with no compression again to the ZIP file
Renamed ZIP to OBB
Copied back to my phone
Started GTA 3
It wanted to download the OBB again :crying:
Replaced the modified OBB with the original OBB and GTA 3 worked again.

Did you place the uncompressed zip(all the folders them sefls) in sdcard/android/data/com.rockstargames.gta3 folder while keeping your original obb. File in the sdcard/android/obb/com.rockstargames/GTA3 FOLDER. In the obb section?

Thanks! (hit the thanks button) I copied over the extracted obb files to sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3 folder with the modified handling.cfg (to test) and it worked! I tested with a modified handling for the taxi and it was really fast and it sent anything on wheels that it hit flying. :highfive:

All I know how to do is adb install an APK.
Since I can't use the external device anymore after the update I can't play my emulators so I need to push the files to the built in storage.
adb push <local pc path to file or folder> <destination path on fire tv>
eg: adb push advancedsettings.xml /sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata
Just thought of a kickass idea!
1. Take all of the files you want to put on your Fire TV.
2. Compress them in a zip which you can call "games" or any other easy filename. (best/smallest filesize is Windows built-in zip compressor)
3. Then simply push that one file to your Fire TV and use ES File Explorer or any other file exploring app with zip support to extract the files.
4. After doing so,you can delete the zip to free up the space it takes.
I recommend that you sideload/install 7Zipper 2.0 for its extensive support of 7z and rar files.

Why though? What's to gain when you can push folders?
Didn't know that was possible...

That was easier than I thought it would be! Forgot you could drag and drop files into the CMD and it auto does the path. Thanks a lot man!
Locating the folder for roms
Hi I am so glad I have found this forum and realy hope you can help me out, looking at the questions/answers in this thread I think I may be in the correct place.
I have ADB on my PC and also Mame4droid installed on my Amazon fire tv.
I have not managed to locate the folder where roms need to be pushed to.
I know that I can push the files by using ADB on my PC but when I select "Push" I do not know how find the directory I need ?
When I open Mame on Amazon fire tv it tells me to put the roms in ------ /storage/emulated/0/MAME4droid/roms
Please please please can you help/guide me to locate these folders / directory using ADB so that I can then transfer the roms to the above.
Thank you so much and hoping you can help , can`t wait to have this up and running on my Amazon fire tv box.
i have the same problem here....can anyone help??
just paste /storage/emulated/0/MAME4droid/roms in the "ad hoc directory" box in adblink (no spaces in front or behind)
Hi Guys,
I'm having some Problem deleting a file in the /sdcard/Android/OBB folder. it seems to be causing me problems and not letting me update one of my apps.
Here are the things i've tried to do.
Clear the cache of my app and the play store
Tried using terminal with SU, just got "Premission denied"
Tried using SU to change the CHMOD to 777, no luck on it actually changing that at all
Tried going to TWRP to uninstall it. however in recovery, when i got to the OBB folder, it was empty for what ever reason even though it is not when i use a file browser when the phone boots up.
Let me know if you have any idea what could cause this problem?
Thanks!
Tried root browser?

Fix it by going in and instead of deleting, try renaming it. That's how I fixed it.

I cannot rename it as well
This is very frustating. The folder contents 4GB game files i don't use anymore
Edit: Apparently, i can rename the folders but not the file inside. So, maybe i can now update or re-download those apps.
But, all i want is just to remove those files, cause they use too much space. Even if i want to re-download those apps, the new apps will create a new obb folder, right? So those big obb files will be duplicated. That's not good

The actual location is /data/media/obb, i can delete those obb files from there [emoji4]

1. Couldn't delete obb.
2. Could only rename.
3. Couldn't locate required obb under /data/media/obb
Managed to LOCATE and DELETE required folder at
/mnt/runtime/default/emulated/obb
Root browser seems necessary.

May your obb file was located in your sd card boot to your twrp then advance/file manager/external_sd/media/obb then open it and click the check button then choose the chmod and just type 777 you should also do that to the existing folder inside obb the reboot your device

I just ran into this issue yesterday and was glad I found this post. I couldn't chown or chmod the directory or file even though I was root. Deleting it from data/media/obb fixed it.
