Definition of OBB

Simply put, an OBB is a file that is added to the app that you have downloaded. There are some applications in ModCombo that need them, while others do not.

If you see an OBB file for the game or app you're trying to download, you just need to download it. The following are the steps to take:

  1. First, you should have already downloaded the APK file. See the steps above for details about how to do it. However, keep in mind that you should not open this right away after downloading it.
  2. Next, select the app/game you’ll download from ModCombo and wait for it to install.

  3. After it has finished downloading, simply tap it to unzip it. To do this, you'll need a ZIP extractor app. If you don't already have one, we suggest downloading the RAR app from the Google Play Store.

Common Problems and their Fixes

“App not installed” error

If you get this error while trying to install the app, it may be for several reasons. First, check that this is the only version of the app on your phone. You may have already installed an older version of the app back then so uninstall it first.

Then, if the problem is still there, you may need to turn on the Play Protect feature. Lastly, if the problem is still there, it maybe that your phone doesn’t support this APK file. If all else fails, try to restart your device.

“Download failed because you may not have purchased this app” error

If you get this problem, it means you were downloading an app with an OBB but you forgot the OBB. Then, you just need to download the OBB from ModCombo.

But if you’ve copied the OBB correctly but the problem is still there, you may need to download the original version from Google Play Store first then uninstall it. After that, install the APK/OBB again.
