[GUIDE] New method to install Google Mobile Services on Huawei P40 & P40 Lite
Hi guys!!!
I'm thrilled to report that I just found this new way to get Google Mobile Services to work on Huawei and Honor devices that don't have them.
It's totally working [today is 20 june 2020] and it SOLVES the new problem that doesn't let the users sign-in to their Google accounts at the time of the installation.
Everything is very detailed and shown step-by-step on the following video...
Please be sure to download the .zip file that has all the stuff needed to get this to work. Using this method, that zip file must be copied to the root a pen-drive. It's here, for Android 10: https://bit.ly/2ATWPGE
- If the LZ app (big "G" icon") isn't working as expected on your phone, you might have to reset the device.
[UPDATE - 29 / June / 2020]
Important stuff:
- You must have your phone in english in order to proceed with this method.
- After it is complete you can switch back to your preferred language, without problems.
- If you want to add more Google accounts, you should do this procure while you are installing GMS. Use this link: https://youtu.be/jgCN6SeP32c?t=1418 It guides directly to the right moment in that video.
By the way, it's working great for a lot of users. Push notifications, though, aren't working.
Still, I believe this is the best method around.
Cheers!
Any feedback on battery drain once google services are installed?
Asking this because as far as I remember, google services have always been the top consumer in standby on all my phones, and I was happy to get a P40 without GMS, at first, and sadly found out their store is like a no mans' land lol.
I'll probably run without GMS for a while to check how battery drain goes, and see if Huawei is doing a better job If time allows I'll post my findings.
doesnt working Im stuck in the first step, when Im about to restore the backup file...
it just doesnt appear the backup...
has someone with firmware: 10.1.136 successfully installed the services? on the old version it went immediately with 10.1.136 I tried several times now always without success

It is possible to perform a downgrade using HiSuite. I'm considering it myself because i have had no luck installing gms without annoying notifications.

So far, I've tested the Huawei P40 Lite E vs Pixel 3 XL, both without SIM card.
P40 achieves an average of 8mA in standby, while Pixel 3 XL is at an average of 10mA. Not much, but still P40 is performing better.
Usage consumption shows very similar drain around 400-500mA, resulting in both devices showing a run time of about 8 hours. However the Pixel 3 XL battery is aging and have a remaining capacity of 3300mAh, compared to the P40 having 4000mAh (will post actual capacity later).
Usage consumption highly depends on screen technology and brightness levels, the later I haven't checked or messed with.
Noticeably the P40 is brand new and have a brand new battery (still trying to get an estimated battery capacity as I forgot to exclude my app from google AND huawei battery optimizations).
I'd say Huawei services are performing better than Google services, by 20%.
I tried to install google service on my P40 Lite E, but couldn't find a valid method. Are there any way to do so these days?
I was hoping to compare battery life on the P40 Lite E with and without Google services, but it seems a no go now.
How to downgrade a P40 Lite? I have managed to download the correct firmware, but how can i get it to flash on the device?

If you find a way to downgrade firmware, don't forget to post it as I'm sure many may be interested, including me.
you can downgrade easily the ones which don't have the anti-rollback
download firmware, extract the dload folder on some sd card or usb, attach usb otg to the phone and boot with volume up - power. Then select usb update. Worked fine
I do have it for JNY-LX1 if someone needs

Is this JNY-LX1 for the P40 Lite E? Can GMS be installed on it then? If so, I'm definitely interested as I couldn't find a single firmware for the P40 Lite E.
Only found this version so far, but impossible to download because of quota: Huawei_P40_Lite_E_Arthur-L29_10.1.0.112_C185E2R3P1_EMUI10.1.0_05016MMP_Dload.zip
All sites are referring to the same GDrive file, which can't be downloaded, here is one of them: https://firmwarefile.com/huawei-p40-lite-e-arthur-l29
Can you pm some od the info from your system-about? Current emui etc

I read it's impossible to downgrade from EMUI 10.1 back to 10.0 or 9.x, so there's no way I'll be able to install GMS I suppose. IMO phones without GMS are pretty useless. App Gallery have not half the apps on Play Store.
Here are details of system about, just in case I could get my hand on 9.x or older 10.x firmware to attempt a flash.
Device: HUAWEI P40 lite E
Model: ART-L29
Build: 10.1.0.128(C432E2R1P1)
EMUI: 10.1.0

you can downgrade directly on HiSuite
Unfortunately, you can't. On the latest version of HiSuite, you don't have the button with the "Older Versions". If you install an older version of HiSuite, you can't connect to the phone. So this method doesn't work at this moment.

I did that yesterday. I am on windows 7 with HiSuite updated, not sure if that's relevant.
Maybe it is, i am on windows 10 and it doesn't let me do that. I just bought a USB type-C memory stick and i will try to update from it, holding volume up and power button while powering up the phone.

Windows 10 here, no "older versions" for my P40 Lite E. However I manage to downgrade by putting the OTA zip on the SD card and updating from it. Then I was able to install and run lzplay. Now stuck at login though.

is possible you have too old software and update server not recognize or give update for current phone version. you can use Nokia Software Recovery Tool to update to latest official WP8 version: 3051.40000.1349.0025 (this is latest official version of WP8.0 called "Black")... also dont forget to update Nokia system apps after software upgrade (you can use app SysApp Pusher from Store)
after if you want test version of WP8.1 via Preview for Developers, just use links from my previous post
thanks for replying. before i saw your reply i had already used Nokia Software Updater for Retail and i updated my phone's system
to firmware version: 3051.40000.1349.0002 and not 3051.40000.1349.0025 as you mentioned
and the software version is still OS 8.0 not 8.1 or other versions
when i connect to the software updater it tells me that there are no newer versions. it doesn't show the 8.1 version
8.1 not official released. You must activate Preview for Developers to install 8.1. Read my first post, there is link how to make this

thanks for your reply. Is the phone's hardware compatible with android? (jellybean)
also there's freedom.apk for android phones, is there something similar to it that would work with windows phones?
also as you may know there's "black market" for android phones that allows you to download applications for free. is there something like it for windows phones 8.0?

you cant flash android on WP devices or use apk files... is impossible... and why to go switch from horse to donkey
also no way to use black market or any other market on WP. Why you think WP OS is most secure OS without one malware or virus? because no c*ap and bogus app like on android...
if you want app for free watch for promotional period of apps.. in 3 year i collect pay software worth more than $2000... just be patient and many good apps and games can get free or for cheap price...
just use app as

P.S.
all topic about illegal/pirated stuff here on forum is forbidden, but only for info you can use max 10 pirated XAP files on developer unlocked phone (but you must pay $19/year to Microsoft for Developer unlock)...
Similar, but worse problem here.

Hello. I have a similar problem, and as you stated I believe the OS version is so old that the server does not recognize it. So I have tried several of Nokia's apps, Software Updater for Retail, Care Suite and they do recognize the phone, the software and it immediately states there is an update ready. However, when it tries to put the phone in Flash Update mode, the phone does not boot and I get an error saying there was a problem. If I disconnect the phone, press volumen-down and on buttons I can reset it and Works fine, but I am unable to do an update.
Here are the details for the phone:
Lumia 920
Country Variant PR
OS Versión 8.0.10211.204
Firmware revisión number 1232.5957.1308.0002
Radio Software version 1.0.202093.3
Firmware Update Notifier 1.1.0.3
Silent Installer 1.5.0.0
Build ID 153556
Extras+Info App Versión 3.8.1.10
I really don't know what to do. My phone hasn't even received GDR2, much less 3 and for sure it probably won't receive 8.1. Any information on how I can manually place the phone in Flash Update mode so maybe the care suite Works??? I was able, through the care suite to put in in test mode, but not in flash update mode.
Thanks in advance. Posting in the Nokia forums was absolutely no help at all. Could it be that I am doing something wrong with the care suite??? I used instructions from several sites to try to use the care suite.

Hello Anaheiim.
When the software tries to make the Nokia go into Flash Update mode, the phone stays at the NOKIA logo after rebooting. After about a minute, the application on the PC, say for example the Multisoftware Updater cancels out. In the case of Multisoftware updater, the error says : product in UEFI mode did not appear.
I can reset my phone and I get back the normal operations, but it appeas it never goes into a mode that is needed to download the software, or I don't have a driver or something similar to talk to the phone from my PC when it goes into that mode.

Thanks Anaheiim. I am downloading the files in the requisities section of that thread and will follow the steps carefully. On your response you state "you must go into flash mode manually". But I don't see that mentioned in the tutorial, am I missing something??? Is there somewhere I can find how to place a Lumia 920 in flash mode manually???

Hello again Anaheiim, unfortunatelly it has been no luck with the method you posted. I downloaded all the components fine. I downloaded the firmware I needed. I am able to get to the point when I try to recover the phone. I turn it off, plug the USB cord (already connected to the PC) and press the volumen down-power keys at the same time until I get ONE quick vibration. I then click the retry button on the tool on the PC. It starts trying to update, the phone shows the NOKIA logo mid-screen, most of the time it reboots and it shows it again and then goes directly into the Windows Phone logo and then back in to the start menú. Otherwise it just sits at the Nokia Logo. Either way, the PC App after a few minutes tells me it can't recover. Usually no error. Tried several different USB ports. Sometimes on some ports I get this error: DTL Connection: Could not connect to media. DTL Back-End error code = 0x8400A403. DTL Back-End: Driver initialization failed. DCM status code = 0x84004415, Common USB DCM: No device found from the target USB port, last error code = 0x80070003. .
Exception..
But that's it. Doesn't ever go into Flash Update mode.

Google FRP (factory reset protection) is aimed at making a stolen phone less valuable.
We usually keep our phones locked with a password or pattern but once its stolen it is easy to erase the data (via Hard Reset) and reuse the phone. With Google FRP in place, whenever the phone is formatted using hardware keys it will ask for the last synced google account details before proceeding further.

I will definitely help you just give me one hour but can you post the following info:
Model Number:
Exact Problem:
How that problem occured:
Model Number: SM-G935F / Galaxy S7 edge
Exact Problem : I can't go back to the dock ROM
How that problem occured : Last week, I wanted to try to change my phone a SM-G935F on a custom rom " Minotaurus Oreo V10". I did it successfuly but didn't like it so much so I decided to go back to stock Rom.
I used Odin and a stock ROM for that but I think I made a big mistake by not wiping with TWRP before flashing with Odin.
It resulted that my phone was stocked on the S7 edge logo. Luckly I can go on download mode so it's not hard bricked but Odin failed on every flash I've tried. It stoped at the step "config.msi"
To flash I used this dock Rom : SM-G935F_1_20161201150115_pbdym44h2s_fac

Huawei P10+ Firmware on Huawei P10 - by accident
Hi:
On my P10, I used Firmwarefinder for Huawei to find the firmware (Oreo with EMUI 8) and after verifying, I downloaded and upgraded the P10 to new firmware. After reboot, the dpi is seemed changed (as picture attached) and when I went to check it on about phone, it says Model is VKY (which is Huawei P10+) - picture attached.
Is there a way to rollback and install the correct firmware on this phone somehow?

For being able to make the downgrade operation you will have to use a Windows based computer on which you will then install Odin (an official program developed by Samsung and used on update types of operations).
***********************************************************************************
Download Odin on your computer; afterwards install the program by following on screen prompts.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge USB drivers must be installed on your PC too – use Samsung KIES in that respect.
Download the stock / official Android OS for your S7 Edge – from SamMobile or from Samsung’s official website.
Power off your device and reboot into download mode: press and hold the Power, Volume Down and Home buttons for a few moments; then connect your phone with your computer with the help of the USB cable.
After making sure that Odin has recognized your device (the “added” message must be displayed and the ID:COM field should be turned yellow or blue) from the program select the PA option.
Load the firmware file; don’t select the Re Partition and Auto Reboot options; click on Start when done.
Wait while your SGS7 Edge is being updated; when done, remove the USB cord and reboot your phone.

This is a dual SIM model of the Mate 10 Pro. I would like to become more up to date, the last update I received was a security update from July last year. I do love this phone and would like to squeeze more life out of it. The software updater says I'm up to date even though there's quite a few later OTA's and Full firmware releases since the release I am running.
I have attempted using the latest Firmware Finder with the DNS change trick. Everything is green lights within Firmware Finder app, change DNS, attempt to download using the OTA checker in settings and no update is ever found.
I have also tried manually downloading both the full and OTA files and extracting the .app package file into the dload folder of a USB C thumb drive of both fat32 and exfat. The updater (holding volume up/down buttons) gets to 5% reading the thumb drives and fails.
I've played with some of the hisuite tricks and still having no luck. .
Anyone have any most-recent mothods that should work for upgrading my firmware?
Thanks a lot.

Got it...
Turns out that I was not flashing a "service" rom which is not easily available from huawei's servers but instead found elsewhere like android filehost. Dload method only allows "service" firmware roms with the "dload" folder in the archive.
Running 9.1.0.300 C605E2R1P12 now.
Thanks guys.
Stevey I too am stuck at 8.0.0.137, what steps did you take to get upgraded??

Hello there!
I am running BLA-AL00 10.0.0.180(C00E181R1P4patch01).
Recently I wanted to downgrade to EMUI 9 to unlock the bootloader (I have the code) and here are my failed attempts:
1.Downgrade via dload with OTG
2.Use HiSuite 'System Repair', which popped up with 'No available fix for your device' (btw actually I managed to use this method before, but Huawei seems to block this)
3.Cheat HiSuite to downgrade with Firmware Finder's DNS update (see: link, ended up with ‘failed to install‘, I think this didn't passed verification)
So...are there any other possible ways to downgrade? Thanks a lot!

You don't need to "cheat" hisuite. Just launch hisuite, connect your phone via usb cable, and click on update button. Hisuite will scan for updates and there should be a tab saying previous versions. Just click on it and you should be able to downgrade. Using the dload method and "cheating" hisuite is a great example on how to brick your phone as thats how I managed to brick my huawei(still trying to unbrick). Also what Hisuite "System repair". I only know system recovery or are you referring to that?

Yes, I managed to downgrade via the normal method...
I thought it won't be OK to use this way... because I previously found the 'previous version' tab gone...(about one year ago)
And yes, I mean system recovery. My HiSuite is in Chinese so I just give it a direct translation lol.
Also I often use eRecovery to unbrick, maybe try it out? (I don't know whether international versions have this function or not...)
Problem solved! Thanks a lot!
Now my phone is running Lineage 18! Feeling great!
Can you please explain how did you do that ? I want to get rid of this emui

I got the lineage GSI rom from my friend, I actually doesn't know it's source, seems phh-treble.
NFC doesn't work, and this rom also has a potential storage problem. (actually I don't know whether it is caused by me or not) Just a week ago the rom broke my data partition and I have to reset. Now I have returned to EMUI. The rom is vanilla, and device model doesn't show probably. GAPPS can be installed via TWRP but device model, I tried, can't be modified without Magisk. The rom contains su as well.
If you truly want it, I can upload it to Gdrive. Now I want to downgrade to EMUI 8 and then I can use Openkirin roms, or search for another fit rom.
