Hi,
This is my experience with downgrading and installing Google apps for my new p40.
Start: Buy phone!
Use Xda forum to fix the issue with Google Services by following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/googlefier-install-gms-huawei-honor-t4180485 ; Thank you, @bender_007
Used USB method for this fullOTA firmware, by @bender_007: P40 5G ANA-NX9 (C432E6R5P2) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ICwPJRAcZEfltFHSRYGVgV-Txql-wQ3X/view?usp=sharing
Everything seems to be working fine EXCEPT:
1. Some apps can't be used as I'm getting the "This device isn't Play Protect certified" ...thx google! (see screenshot)
2. Annoying notifications from Google (managed to solve this by hiding the notifications ))) )
3. Unable to add more google accounts (besides the ones added in step 1 for the googlier app)
4. Unable to sync contacts after the fact (initial sync works)
Have any of you found a working solution for these issues? The most frustrating one is no1. Device isn't play protect certified.
I tried the https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ method to certify my device,.... but it doesn't seem to be working. ( See this https://www.technobaboy.com/2020/03/07/how-to-fix-device-is-not-play-protect-certified/)
umm.... anyone?
I've followed the https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/googlefier-install-gms-huawei-honor-t4180485 :
I've Downgraded sucessfully then install googlefier a bunch of times, following the procedure.
Generally gms is working except for contact syncing and notification.
everything is working except for gmail notifications, did the googlefier guide a few times

Hi i have a Huawei p40 ana-nx9 with firmware 10.1.0.154. can you please tell all the passages exactly to downgrade and install Google services?
I have a Huawei P40 with Google services on firmware 114.
Added 2 Google accounts via firmware downgrade and Googlefier.
I want to add more google accounts.
How can I do it without loosing existing apps and data?
Hi guys, stucked on the 10.1.0.176 version. Broke my screem, had to replace it and huwawei made a reset on the phone. Before that it worked like a charm with GMS and notifications.
Is there any solutions by now on how to downgrade down to .149 version?
Cheers.

Hi All,
So I just picked up the Honor X1 (a.k.a Mediapad X1) (Chinese version) of this awesome device. I love everything so far, with a few exceptions.
DISCLAIMER: I looked ALL over the web, including but not limited to XDA and google, but didn't see anything relevant and/or that worked.
So here goes. Hopefully someone has more of a clue than I do of how to get things working
1.) Google Play music doesn't work. When I try adding an account, I immediately get the "Couldn't sign in - There was a problem communicating with Google server. Try again later". Message. Note that it doesn't actually attempt anything. It goes immediately to to this message. Yes I have an active data connection (wifi and 3G are both working), Yes I installed google play services (march 16th 2015 build), and google play music (march 16th 2015 build), and went through the "App center" and tried to install everything (except google plus. See item #2 below)
2.) Google + fails to install with a "silent install failed". I also tried downloading the APK and it just says it fails to install. I do not care at all for google + but I want multiple google accounts which is why I am trying this.
3.) Multiple google accounts? especially for hangouts, email, and google play music?
4.) The UI is all in Chinese. I know this is to be expected, but I was hoping there would be some way to force it into all-english. (Please note: I am NOT rooted).
5.) Any way to install GasBuddy? THANX!
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU

Salam ya Basha! Shukran for the response.
I actually did try rooting, but everywhere I looked the information says use RootGenuis which fails at the last step (one tough phone), and if i click the "root manually" button it takes me to a dead link to a page in Chinese.
Any idea how I can succesfully root this to start with?
Also, did you by any chance figure out how to change the UI into something more usable (Arabic is an option but I prefer English)
Mashkooooooor

Thanx! Rooting worked via VROOT, although my laptop is now loaded with spyware / malware I can't seem to get rid of.
I installed Google plus (via sideloading the APK. It didnt show up in the play store), which gave me multiple accounts (by following the link you provided).
I also got Google play music to work. After installing G+, I had to remove the google account and re-add it, and voila google play music works.
For the benefit of others:
1. Root (via Vroot/iRoot but watch out where you download it from)
2. Follow the guide to install the google maps via a root-enabled file explorer (I used root explorer)
3. Reboot
4. Remove all google accounts and re-add them
5. Launch google music and set up normally
I will mark this as solved. THANX
Thanx!
At the beginning I would like to say that I have spent 2 days on searching and trying without results. I have been dealing with other China phones and I was able to make Google Services working without much problem in the past.
But now I have 2pcs Honor 6A phones (they are different only in software version)
Android: 7.0
EMUI: 5.1
Firmware version: Delhi-TL20C01B121 and Delhi-TL20C01B130
I have tried to install standard set of APKs downloaded from APK mirror, like:
- Google services
- Google Login Service
- Google Services Framework
- Google Calendar
- Google Calendar Sync
- Google Contact Sync
etc.
And I have tried many versions, every time returning to factory setting before testing new set of version. Installation completes but Google Play Store does not launch, it exit with error: “Install core GMS packages to use Google Play Store”. You Tube works but when I add account it freezes or it does not make anything.
I also tried GMSInstaller from Huawei, unfortunately installation stops at 5% with error: “Software install Failed!”
I also manually extracted from GMSInstaller following files:
- GmsCore.apk
- GoogleLoginService.apk
- GoogleServicesFramework.apk
- Phonesky.apk
Most of them installed but GmsCore.apk fails install due to parse error.
Im really out of ideas, there is very little info about this phone online (apart from commercial info), which is strange because is quite popular budget phone in China. And I thing this thread will get quite popular.
I would like to ask You for Help!
Can you solve your problem? I just got the same model

Have you found the solution?
any solutions?
As mentioned in the title, I just got a brand new Huawei Nova 5i Pro with EMUI 9.1. It's a Chinese version without any of the Google apps.
I've already tried GMSInstaller 1.2 and GoogleInstaller apps. At first, all google apps crashed upon startup. Once I got to open Google Play, the "Sign in" button appeared but clicking on it froze the app. The same happened when I tried to add a Google account in Accounts.
After that, I did a factory reset and installed all apks again from Apkpure. Still not connecting.
Did I do something wrong? Does anybody knows a different method to bypass the Huawei block? I used the same apps on my previous Honor 9 and I never had any issues.
Thanks in advance!
You need to UBL your Device, install TWRP App and install Gapps app.
Would anyone have found a solution?
I just bought a nova 5i pro assuming the usual way would work but google play keeps flashing and closing after install, and that’s after trying gsm, googleinstaller and getting all individual apks
Thanks

Works for muy Nova 5i pro.
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anybody with a Chinese 8x has already upgraded to EMUI 10 and whether or not they have retained Google services. Thanks!
For anyone having the same question:
Google works even after the update (I dont use google pay, so cant say anything about that, the huawei p30 seems to have issues with that on some occasions).
I installed lzplay GMS with the backup method, everything seems to work just fine

so i manged to get around and update my device to EMUI 10 but whenever I install that chinese app via Hisuit, it gives me a message then the application closes, so could you link a video or type the steps?
two things:
normally, you should install google FIRST, then update from 9 to 10, I am not sure if the method I used works in 10.
The method I used is shown in the video below, watch it fully before replicating it.

But will I be able to update to 10 normally without having to remove the GMS apps?
I've purchased a Y7P few days back. UMEI 9.1.1. Cannot find any compatible custom recovery, no custom ROMs, no ROOT method ,no GMS method and without google services i cannot use my contacts and cannot import CSV manually to Huawei cloud (keeps failing).. Tried my best. Someone please let me know if there is any good news.
I guess that the problem is no unlocking code for bootloader. It is EMUI 9.1.
At least, no more FREE unlocking code from Huawei, but it should be paying services for that.
(If Y7P is Y7 Pro 2019, that see https://ministryofsolutions.com/2019/03/huawei-y7-pro-2019-root-dub-lx1-lx2-lx3.html )
Since phone is under project Treble (android 8+), it would be easy to make TWRP recovery for it, if share some basic info.
So root could be achieved by flashing Magisk.zip.
Since Huawei is closed-source for 2 years and more, no custom rom for us, but you could use GSI (already made custom rom system images) that flash over stock system partition that should works...but that is a longer story.
OpenGAPPS and MicroG project also could be your friend, as replacement for original Google apps.
Or you can install Play store and Play services as user app, download packages from Apk-mirror:
com.google.android.gms and com.android.vending.
Or use alternative for Google Play store like Aurora Store or PureAPK...
try this
hi, if you visit the Eloygomeztv channel on youtube, yesterday he upload a video showing a method that actually works for lzplay for google apps and services in my huawei y7 p maybe you should try it, sorry bad english
