You should have noticed that many mods which I share here at www.gtaam.net may have the first step to "Extract the obb files". This step is compulsary for those mods to work. Usually this step requires computer but those who don't have computers can use there Android Phones or Tablets to do this. Only those who don't know how to extract ".obb" files of GTA San Andreas Android using there smartphones should follow this tutorial. If you have Computer, you can watch video tutorial in our Youtube channel.
Before You Start
� Extracting ".obb" files of GTA San Andreas Android can take a lot of time depending on your phone specs.� All files like "gta3.img" and other ".img" files for Android GTA SA are inside those two ".obb" files. (inside texdb folder)!� Make sure you have 2.5GB free space where you want to extract your obb files.� If you don't want to extract all files just select the file and extract it (it will save time and space)!! <<= Recommended step!!� ES File Explorer is recommended. No I am not advertising this app. But this app deserves this!� The file you edited should go to there according folder. I mean if you replaced a file in "gta3.img" then move "gta3.img" to "Android/data/com.rockstargames.gtasa/files/texdb/ <here>because the file "gta3.img" was present inside "texdb" folder so we moved it to "texdb" folder (create a new folder and rename it to "texdb" if does not exist!).
Tutorial: How to Extract obb Files Using Your Android Phone and ES File Explorer app:
�Before proceeding, You have to extract those two ".obb" files.Now you will be thinking how to extract those two ".obb" files?No its not that hard as you think. Its easy.� Just install ES File Explorer. After Downloading ES File Explorer, Open it and go to:/Android/obb/com.rockstargames.gtasa/ <here>� Change extension of both ".obb" files to ".zip". You can do this by simply writing ".zip" at last of their names. You can do this like this, the name of first ".obb" file is "main.8.com.rockstargames.gtasa.obb". What you have to do is touch and hold it (if you are using ES File Explorer), then click Rename button and change its name to "main.8.com.rockstargames.gtasa.obb.zip" (just write .zip at end of its name) and it will be converted to a zip file. Which can be opened by ES File Explorer easily.� Do the same for second ".obb" file and you are done. Now proceed to next step.
� After doing the above step those two ".obb" files will be converted to ".zip" files.� Now Open them one by one. And click extract and choose the location where you want to extract. It will take 2.5 GB of space and also extract all the files present inside those obb files. But if you are low on space or don't want all files inside obb files and want to save time then search for ".img" file you need. In most cases we need "gta3.img file. You can find it by opening "patch.8.com.rockstargames.gtasa.obb.zip" file and going to "texdb" folder.� After going to this folder extract "gta3.img" file by touching and holding it and selecting extract button. Extract it anywhere in you sd card (or internal memory) but make sure you have atleast-atleast 500MB free space. � Now that "gta3.img" file will be extracted easily.� Now Rename the "obb" files back to ".obb". Or the game will not run.� Now you can use IMG TOOL FOR ANDROID app ( Click Here to Download IMG Tool Android) to open that img file, edit it, replace it etc!!!� After modding any ".img" file move it to:s /Android/data/com.rockstargames.gtasa/files/texdb/ <here>*Create new "files" and "texdb" folder if does not exist!
THE END.
