Community ManagerHi @chris123445678,
Are you using the old device when you get this error message? That error message tends to crop up when you're account is already linked up to Facebook.

No I’m getting that on the new device. Facebook is linked to my account on the old device, but when I try to log in on the new one with Facebook it gives that error.

Hi @chris123445678,
OK it sounds like you'll need to start the transfer process again and head back to the old device:

Don't use Facebook Connect on your new device during this step. If you try to connect your new device to the Facebook account on your old device, you won’t be able to link your devices and you’ll have to restart the process.
Follow the steps in this EA help article: Move your Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes account using this tool. It'll talk you through what you need to do from the old device first and foremost under the heading 'Grab your old device and follow these steps' and will then walk you through what needs to happen on your new device under this heading 'Now, pick up your new device'.

I'm a little confused now, because that comment from EA help says not to use Facebook but then the link you posted says to use facebook. I had followed those steps in the link you shared before, and followed them again just now.
-Facebook was and still is connected to my account on the OLD device. I went to link device > old device > facebook > and it said this device is already connected.
-on the new device, I went to connect > new device > facebook > allowed access from Facebook > then I get the error.
