Nba live companion app "not compatible" bypass tutorial!

[mmafan18]

Not sure if this is allowed but wanted to help out others that got the message that their device was not compatible with the new nba live companion app.

First of all make sure you have android version 4.4 otherwise it will not work.

Now on to how to install the apk to your device. This will be done downloading the apk and obb file to your PC and then transferring the files to your device.

Now on to the steps to getting this on your device.

1. Enable “Unknown Sources ” on Android. To enable Unknown Sources go to Settings > Security and check the box next to” Unknown Sources “.


2. Once you have that ready on your device download the apk from this link.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dd...vecompanionapk They are in a zip file so just extract the folder to your desktop.


3. Connect your device to your pc and drag the folder with both the apk file and com.ea.gp.nbalivecompanion folder preferably to your download folder on your device(this makes it easier to find.)


4. Using your file explorer look for the files you have just transferred. You are going to want to place the com.ea.gp.nbalivecompanion folder in this location. SD Card > Android > OBB > **paste the folder here**. If there is no OBB folder just make one.


5. Now install the apk file.


6. Start the app and if you followed the steps it should work.

edit- Even if you do get the app installed it might give you a render failed message when trying to scan your face. Really nothing I can do about that. But it's worth a try. Hopefully EA will update the app and also fix up the incompatible issue.

*If you don't have a file explorer app for your device i strongly suggest download ES File Explorer File Manager from google play. This will make it easy to move the files to required folder easily.

Trying now, will come back with results.

EDIT: Got the app running but cant get the scan to work. Thanks for this workaround though.

You have to put the obb folder in correct spot otherwise going to give you that error.

You have to jump through hoops to use this thing? Why am I not surprised.
