Android 11/ColorOS 11 OPPO A72 Update with VPN - OPPO A72 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi,
I managed to get the Android 11 update with a bit of stuffing around and thought I would share for everyone else, I did this on a unlocked Australian variant bought from Optus, you're mileage may vary.
This will activate dual sim mode on the phone with a single IMEI, I left my location set to Europe so it is upto you if you follow the last step to remove Dual Sim Mode.
You will need to backup anything you don't wish to lose as a full factory reset is required.
Requirements:
OPPO A72 - My bootloader is locked, My simlock is off
CPH2067_11_A.54 Latest European ROM for the device - Download Here: https://support.oppo.com/nl/software-update/software-download/?m=A72
Oppo Free Unlock Tool - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...de-to-coloros-11-and-enable-dual-sim.4191787/
A Google account to download ExpressVPN (This is the second last step so leave for now)
A Windows PC with a internet connection

9) Under the Value pane, select the radio button next to the text box and paste in the following: 704D7B61ABCD.
10) Install ADB Drivers.
11) Extract OPPO Free Unlock Tool, You're antivirus may give a false positive so you will have to manually add an exception for the tool.

13) Plug in phone via USB and select "Transfer Files".
14) Enable developer options on phone and activate USB Debugging.
15) Press Allow when prompted to give PC ADB access.

19) Open the phone app on your device and dial *#3954391#. Then dial *#391#. A screen should come up with a whole bunch of regions listed. (Take note of the one highlighted in green as you will need this in the final step).

That's All Folks

Hi! I'm from Germany.
I use Orbot and set the language to Dutch (Netherland). Then I went to Settings » Software Update. The new Android version 11 is now available. The version displayed is: CPH2067NV44_11_C.71
I have to consider installing this version as I don't know if it will lead to complications. Can I simply set the language to German in the settings? I don't have Windows at the moment and can only use Android tools. It is explicitly NV (Netherland Version) in the firmware version.
Whether that is EU or EUEX... no plan.
So far I haven't loaded the update either because I'm afraid that I will never get the "thing" to root.
Without root it's only half a smartphone, although I'm pretty happy with the A72.
Friendly greetings to everyone!

Hi you can install the update and set your language on the initial setup screen for new rom. As for root i have been unable to root android 10 or 11 for this device. If you know of a way to root it would be great to learn from you

you can explain the procedure to me. I tried with orbit but it does not work. maybe because of the latest firmware 58 right?

No need for VPN anymore, just for Europe version.
Just got a system update tonight. Without needing to wipe the device.

[ROOT][WIN] GUI Tool for rooting the Motorola RAZR

This is my first attempt at creating something for users on xda, so be gentle .
Eternityproject has released a fine script for rooting our Motorola RAZR phones on the 4.0.4 update. As a windows-user that used to use batch scripts for everything I could not help but want some more output than just the [rebooting] echo's that the script print on the screen. As a bonus I thought it would be nice to see how long the script will take before my phone is rooted. I have made these wishes into an application, and pedrotorresfilho kindly allowed me to use their script in my application.
So what does it do?
It roots your Motorola RAZR and shows you what the script originally did. It also calculates how long your phone takes to reboot, and shows you how much time you have to get a nice cup of [insert drink here]. Or soda if you prefer that. In theory it is possible to root multiple phones at the same time, which saves time if you have to root 10 RAZRs at once (LOL... as if).
How does one use it?
- Install the program using Microsoft's Awesome ClickOnce distibution system
- Install the Motorola Drivers (Download MotoHelper from here)
- Enable 'Unknown Sources' (on your phone: go to settings, go to security, tick the box next to 'Unknown Sources') (needed to install supersu.apk)
- Enable 'USB Debugging' (on your phone: go to settings, go to developer options, tick the box next to USB Debugging) (needed to communicate with your phone over USB)
- When connecting your phone, please set the USB Mode to 'Media Sync - MTP', to be sure that mounting points won't interfere with the rooting process.
When the application is opened all the connected Android devices will be selected. This means that as soon as you press the 'Root' button, they will be rooted.
In principle the application does nothing more or less than the script. You don't have to have extensive knowledge of adb or android internals, it's just an app that shows the connected devices and a root button . If you are already rooted, it's easy to unroot using SuperSU.

Download links:
Open ClickOnce Application (works only if you have .NET 4.0 installed!)
Download page (use this if the above link does not work/you do not have .NET 4.0)
You can update by opening the application. If there is an update, you will be prompted to download the latest version.
Required:
Windows (with .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile installed)
Motorola RAZR running ICS (other phones might work, but you will get a warning)
I ask all of you kindly NOT to mirror or reshare the application without my permission. Please share the ClickOnce Application link. Is assures that you are running the latest version!

Dan Wager - For creating AndroidLib, a .NET wrapper for ADB on Windows
Chainfire - For creating and providing SuperSu and his su binary - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Changelog:
1.0.0.6:
Added more strings to the logging output
Fixed the blocking of the root button if there are no devices selected
Added a splash screen to indicate that the application is actually loading
Changed the location where the splash as well as the credits/welcome screen appear
1.0.0.5:
added credits for Chainfires SuperSU and su
Removed the message that rooting was not successful
Added a few more messages about the script itself (in the script output)
Updated SuperSU and binary to 0.94 (su binary still says it needs to be updated )
1.0.0.4:
The application now properly disposes of the AndroidLib instance, disabled the CheckedItem event on the DeviceList because it was a tad buggy. This won't harm anyone.
1.0.0.3:
Enabled Microsoft ClickOnce Update deployment. If I fix a bug, you are able to update to a less buggy version

I have sent you a dm .
Can you try with this root method. It's simpler.
http://dev.crackflasher.com/ROOT_TOOLS/razrs_edge_windows.zip
For guys already rooted that wanna test it, first unroot your phone:
Run SuperSU app and press 'full unroot'. If you have superuser app also installed remove it first.
Cheers

Hmm... I will have a look at this. What are your reasons for using this except that it's simple? It's just a matter of preference, right?

Thanks man! Much appreciated!
Well, I tested the 2 versions ( I got a notification to update your tool ).
It is working great but the installer is strange, ( I had all requirements but for people which don't, it's not great ).
SuperSu and binary are not latest version. And I get at the end a message who say " the phone does not seem to have root" but I had root

Yeah, the installer should be extra user friendly. I should probably just advice users to use the .application link. But the link will only work if .NET client profile is already installed. I'll adjust the message about root, It seems that the library that I use does not query root status from the phone, but rather from it's cache. Maybe I have to update the phone data before querying for root. Thanks for your feedback!
Edit: I am now uploading version 1.0.0.5, I added credits for Chainfires SuperSU, removed the message about the rooting. Too bad my connection is bad (3G in the mountains in La Palma) so bear with me while the updated version is uploaded. Should be up within about 10 minutes, users that already have the application installed will asked to update to the latest version.

1. Installed and executed (had to confirm the download since google chrome didn't allow setup.exe files to be directly donwloaded)
2. Upon start it updated.
3. First run the app didn't recognized my connected Razr after changing USB to Media Device - MTP and enable USB debug.
3. Closed and reopened the app and it recognized and root went fine.
Notes: Application said to 'Refresh' when ADB has being enable, but theresn't a Refresh button.
Really nice!

The refresh button is the button next to root . I'll put a tooltip on that button. Glad to hear all is fine. I'm uploading 1.0.0.5 to polish out the small annoyances and update SuperSU. Thank you so much for testing .
Edit: 1.0.0.5 is out . The download link is now public. Please leave suggestions and improvements in this topic or send me a DM. Thanks!

Reinstall/Install MM/N on WiFi/LTE YOGA BOOK

Prees the Thanks button if that helps you​
How to install it:
Be careful, these steps will erase all your data on tablet and will downgrade rom (stock marshmallow)
First of all: read and understand all of the instructions.
1. Download the stock ROM
https://cloud.kolyandex.su/index.php/s/4WDt6ghOzHAyP4s (Nougat WiFi version)

4. Install Intel Platform Tool Lite
4. Boot into fastboot mode
5. Run Intel Platform Tool Lite
6. Make sure your tablet is recognized by the tool (otherwise you need to enable USB-debug in Developer settings)
7. Select "flash_update_from_eng.json" from folder in (2)
8. Push "start to flash"
9. Wait... (You should check tablet's screen in order to lock/unlock bootloader (it should be locked after flash in order to install OTA updates))
10. Reboot tablet
11. Your keyboard might not work: that is normal (just use on-screen keyboard for now)
12. After initial setup: open Contacts app, create new one (if there are no contacts yet), tap search and enter ####6020#
13. Choose your region
14. Reboot
15. Setup again (now halo should work)
16. Go into settings -> about -> updates and update till the last version (may take several hours)
17. Say thanks for alexjustes for his Amazing Steps
Thank you so much for posting this!
Have you tried flashing this through @danjac's TWRP build? I know trying to restore any nandroid backup made after the OTA upgrade to Nougat results in a boot loop.

I'm 99% sure this isn't flashable in custom recovery, at least without some modification and repackaging. It's a package designed for Intel Phone Flash Tools.
Still a huge asset, though, so thanks again!

Same, it can only flashed through fastboot mode
I got myself into quite the pickle today. I've been considering selling my Yogabook to switch to a Chromebook 2-in-1. I wanted to get the device back to as full vanilla as possible. I "thought" the first step was to lock the bootloader again and then do a full factory reset, apparently not... After booting back up from locking the bootloader I kept getting an Intel "bootloader error code 01" and Android would not start. It would take me to fastboot mode on it's own but I was unable to use the power button to make a selection and the device would just power off after 5 minutes. Thankfully from there or fore powering off I could hold Volume up on startup and get to fastboot manually or recovery. It being in a locked state now though I couldn't do much of anything else, no flashing anything other than loader, no format, no erase, and TWRP was not able to be booted.
Anyway I finally read a post about DNX mode and how to get to it, but nothing on how to really use it or any decent information imho. After finally finding some users on another part of the forum discussing a DNX flashing tool made for their devices HTC I went searching for a tool for the Lenovo. Lenovo has nothing for this (shame on you Lenovo!) but Intel does have it and it can be used with the recovery image posted above in this thread (and I assume all the others running around). And here is the URL for the tool
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
You just have to load a valid JSON file containing the proper config information for the ROM you are flashing iwithin the Intel tool. For this particular version of the ROM I did have to modify the "flash_recover_dnx.json" file to remove this section
Code:
{
"duration" : 5000,
"restrict" : null,
"tool" : "sleep"
},
Otherwise the flash tool would not load it due to the a bad tool from this JSON config named "tool". No other changes to the settings of the Intel flashing tool were needed.
Just click "Start to Flash" and once it was done all was well. Took a little over five minutes, it unlocked, flashed, and locked the device again itself.

No more Intel error stating the device isn't secure every reboot. I did lose all my data that was on it doing this but I wasn't worried about that going into it.
After initial setup in Android I did have to do the trick noted here to get the Halo keyboard working again which then required initial setup once more.
Hope this helps others.
@MarkAllen, thank you for your valuable information. This will help people unbrick their devices.

The tool does not recognized my device
Please help to flash my yoga book.
Got these with the stock .json file as described above:
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : No description value in command sleep
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : Cannot create command with tool "sleep"
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : Tool sleep not found or invalid tool configuration
Opened that file in notepad and deleted the sleep section - started flashing.
The usb drivers are definitely required, I lost the connection because they weren't loaded. I installed them and refreshed device manager and she started receiving the flash.
Used Win7 to flash also, the intel page says its not supported.
Flash success and locked bootloader after entering the country code - thanks very much all!

22) Select the shared_prefs folder then in the properties menu set the permissions to 551 (remove the w permissions) ans apply
23) Reboot your phone
24) Enjoy
If it doesn't work, please tell me.​
I know that the images are oversized. I'll try to reduce their size.
So I followed each step and I thought it was going to work but at the last step when I open the assistant and click on start download to update it the following message appears:
"An error has occurred make sure that you are online and try again"
Do you think there is anything else I could do to make it work?

It's strange, do you have this issue only with the next gen assistant, or also with the old one? (Add a language that doesn't support the New assistant in the languages settings)
Hey, this is bit of an old thread but I'm having issues and i dont know where to turn. I've flashed PixelExperience 11and google assistant is NOT responding to (ok|hey) google commands. I've tried different version and then eventually flashed EvolutionX (Android 11). There again, google assistant doesn't work..
Given that i use google assistant on a daily bases, i kind of need it. So i found this nice thread, tried these steps but i still don't get google assistant to respond to keyword and i haven't even achieved GA2.0 using this tutorial.
Any ideas how i can make it work?

=Learn How to Install Android Apps on Windows 11 for free =

Updated: 16/04/2022
Tutorial​
Hi!
There are a a lot of tutorials about installing Andoid Apps stores, etc, etc.
I gonna let you here a way that i found to install Android Apps even if you are not logon in to App Store!
To be able to do this, your computer must meet the following requirements:
Windows 11
At least 8 GB of RAM ( less and you will get some lags)
At least a DUO CORE 3.20GHz CPU
Enabled Virtualization feature
Change Country & Region: U.S. ( You can return to your location after)
You will need Android SubSystem installed on WIndows 11 and for that you need Amazon App Store, even if it will be impossibel to use, you need to activate some Windows Optional Features and finally activate virtualization on your Bios ( serach Google how to do it for your motherboard!)
Lets get Start!!!
To Enable Windows Optional Features, go to Start menu, in search box type OptionalFeatures.exe then open it, select Virtual Machine Platform and OK.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
!Restart your PC!
After Restart, lets get Amazon App Store for that you need to change Windows System language, go to Start, search box and type location and select "Change country or region", in that window that oppened select "country or region" tab and change it to United States!
After that go to this link to get Amazon App Store!
Install it and close it ( don´t need it any more). ( You can return location to your location now)
Now go to Start, type in serach box Android and you will see Android Subsystem app, open it, enable developer mode. You will get a IP and door in developer mode tab like this 127.0.0.1:48406.
Now download this SWA_Setup.zip that i create to get easier to install APK by Pick and drop over batch to install, just pick Apk and drop over DropToInstallApk.bat.
Open zip and extract my tool to Desktop.
( NOTE: Not all Android app will work some of theme need google system or phone Android system!!!!)
Open SWA_Setup folder, open the batch files (.bat) like text file and change the IP and door to your IP and door that you get form developer mode option. ( check image above to see where IP and door is) Save batch. ( Check Image bellow to see where you must change in both batch files)
In Android SubSystem window you need open files first to start Android system ( image bellow) before execute Setup batch (SettingUp.bat) or install any apk through pick and drop. When you already had any app installed only need to start app to start Windows Android System.
Ok! Lets Setup and add apk!!!
I create SettingUp.bat that will Install a Manager app and Aurora App Store ( Google Play Store Clone).
You can download and install trough Aurora App Store but if you want to try another way go to Apkmirror site, search your apk, download, change name to short name ( Apkmirror give a hudge name to Apks and some times get error when installing...), paste inside SWA_Setup folder, pick the apk and drop overDropToInstallApk.bat! Done!
Your apk is on Start menu! Example i add Heroes Evolved from Apkmirror!
To unistall just do right click over apk/app and unistall it or use Manager app!
Note: Game need gamepad to play and mouse
After all Setup is very easy to work with Windows Android Sytem or any installed Apk because its part of system like any other aplication from Windows.
Enjoy it!

Is it possible to get apps that control things on your local network to work? Like the roku or Sonos app? These apps think they are offline. So it can’t see my devices. It says to check WiFi.

By default they are built for smartphones, i don't know if they detect wifi or cable connection from PC.
Thanks. Wonder if there is a work around For this. WSA does think it’s a pixel 5. I guess we would need to get a local IP first. So it can see your local network. It seems like these apps need WiFi. Or to make them think WiFi is active.

Yes, must be build some bridges between Android apps and Windows, especially in detecting and reading hardware configuration from pc. Don't forgot that is a Android emulator.
I don't have the knowledge for that but maybe picking some features and tools from already known vm machines and complete the Windows vm machine for will help. Its basic.
This is all new for now, probably in future some will find a way to root, etc, etc.
Hi!
Checking Windows Android System i noticed that build for Windows 10... Does any one had try this tutorial on Windows 10?
Thanks for this tutorial.
I have a question, which is not totally related to this tutorial, but maybe you can help me.
I installed the Amazon AppStore on windows 11 from the Microsoft store, but I can't access it. The Amazon AppStore app starts, I enter my Amazon credentials and then there is a "continue" button but if I press the continue button, nothing happens. It remains blocked, although I am logged in with my Amazon account.
I'm going to use Aurora Store next, but I wish I could access the Amazon AppStore too, at least to try it out.
Any idea what could be stuck?
Thanks in advance.

There is no safe way yet.
I'm new to Android apps on Windows 11. I've installed the Textra SMS app successfully and it starts. However, it wants me to specify the app as the default SMS app for Android. I've set the Windows default app for SMS to Textra, but that doesn't help.
How do I get to Android settings as they would appear on an Android phone where default apps can be set?
Thanks.
windows 11 letting me change region but will not let me install amazon?
Changed region and keyboard etc just in case! but Amazon not available in my region?

Guide for installing Google services from A to Z on Huawei P40 (updated 01/04/2023)

Remember that YOU DO ALL THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I DO NOT BE RESPONSIBLE, AS WELL AS THE AUTHORS OF THE FIRMWARE AND FILES.
At the moment, who has devices from the box on EMUI 12, it is not possible to install services.
The given tutorial is valid for region 432 devices. I haven't tried other regions, it might work but maybe not.
And approach this case with a clear head, patience and straight hands .... and everything will work out, 100% CHECKED and so we begin.
Preparation:
We download all the necessary utilities and files, and save them in one new folder in an accessible place, for example, on the desktop;
Files for installation on a computer;
- Download the official HiSuite from the link
HUAWEI Hisuite Free Download | HUAWEI Support Global
HUAWEI HiSuite is the official Android Smart Device Manager tool,HiSuite helps users to connect their HUAWEI smartphones and tablets to PC and perform various tasks.
consumer.huawei.com
- HiSuite 10.0.0.550 OVE (EN)
- HiSuite 10.0.0.550 (CN)
- HiSuite.Proxy utility
Files for installation on a smartphone;
- Google Play Services 21.24.56 (GPS 21.24.56)
- Google Services Framework (gsf+10)
- Google Services Framework (gsf-fix2)
-Googlefire
All files except the first one are attached under the instruction
Save the last 4 files in your convenient e-mail cloud, then you will need to download them from the cloud on smart, because on version 10.1 - 10.1.0.131 the USB connection will not be active.
STAGE 1. System rollback to EMUI 10.1 - 10.1.0.131.​
A. Rollback to version 11
If we are on EMUI 12, then we roll back to EMUI 11 using the HiSuite application on the computer. To do this, remove HiSuite 11.0.0.550 OVE if installed on your computer and install the previously downloaded official HiSuite. We connect the smartphone to the computer and perform all the proposed steps to connect and synchronize the smart with the computer. Next, after successfully connecting the smart with HiSuite, click on “System Update”, a window will appear and give permission, another window will appear and click on “Other version”, and then on “restore”. Smart will be flashed with a rollback to firmware version 11, which HiSuite will offer.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
B. Rollback to version 10
If it is not clear to someone, I have written this instruction for rolling back to version 10, I am attaching a video (rollback is made up to 11; 25 minutes) by reference;
. Personally, I rolled back on this video.
I guess we are already on the 11th version. We roll back to the 10th version, and more specifically to 10.1 - 10.1.0.131, the most optimal version for installing services. To do this, remove HiSuite on your computer and install HiSuite 11.0.0.550 OVE and the HiSuite Proxy utility.
1. Install HiSuite 11.0.0.550 OVE
We install it on the computer and connect the smartphone, in principle, the same synchronization actions as in point A. Next, we close the utility, but do not turn it off, for this we need to configure it in the program settings, which can be configured on the screen below;
2. Install and configure HiSuite.Proxy.
First, delete the entries in the upper cells that are crossed out, the rest remains as in the screenshot
Next, we patch the HiSuite utility by pressing the "Setup" button, as in the screenshot above. If there are no red inscriptions, then the process is successful, the main last point was identical as in the screenshot below. So we leave the HiSuite.Proxy utility, DO NOT CLOSE.
3. Search for the required firmware version in the Huawei Firm Finder resource.
Open the Huawei Firm Finder resource in the browser using the link; https://professorjtj.github.io/
On this page, we need to pick up our 131st firmware version, how to do it? In the top line of filters, enter the data of the smart model, firmware region and the required basic firmware version. (Example; my smart model is ANA-NX9. The assembly number, at the moment, is 12.0.0.276 (C432E5R4P5). In the first paragraph of the Phone Model, enter ANA-N, then the second paragraph, the region, enter C432, for the Russians C10, etc. the third and fourth paragraphs are optional). Next, what are we looking for from the list? We need PRELOAD, CUST, OVS firmware. We find 131 OVS and select for download by clicking on “add rom”, we also do it with the subsequent PRELOAD and CUST. One BUT: PRELOAD is selected with the designation R of your firmware, for example, I have R4 from the firmware data 12.0. By clicking them one by one, links to the selected firmware components are automatically added to the HiSuite.Proxy utility in the upper cells that you previously cleared.
An exception in the process of selecting firmware for the Russian region C10, we do through the upper right menu "Database", then select "Downgrades" and already select the firmware, as indicated above. In addition, in the network and Internet settings of the computer, if it is not activated, we activate the VPN.
I am attaching screenshots;
4. Open the HiSuite utility on the PC (smart is connected to the PC via USB). Next, the rollback process is the same as in paragraph A. At the bottom, click the "System Update" button. A window opens with a suggestion to downgrade the firmware version and click Update.
During the process of downloading and installing the firmware, do not close the HiSuite and HiSuite.Proxy utilities on the PC. Good luck.....
Hope the process went well. Before starting with the installation of services, download 4 files from the cloud on smart, which was indicated at the beginning of the instructions. In advance to a new folder, suppose the name of the Program.
STAGE 2. Installing Google Services​
1. Installation of services, the process itself.
The best instruction for this process will be the following video (the process we are interested in starts at 10;29 minutes) at the link;
(By the way, this video also includes a downgrade for the P40 lite, practically a complete package of Installing Services for the P40 lite.)
My advice is to review carefully. And then get down to business, slowly, pause, return along the track if necessary. In the video, everything is practically chewed and clear, I installed it successfully the first time. I hope you install the services successfully. I will make a reservation about some of the nuances that I encountered, due to inattention and ignorance, I had to reinstall again after each successful installation.
Important point!!! In this process, you will have to change the year in the smart settings, delve into the course of events. But I will be brief, the first time you bet on 2019, the second time on 2021, and the last one on autotime and will return to the current year.
At the end of the installation, there will be moments of testing the play market, the main thing is that it opens and you can unwind the options. And even if you can’t enter the playmarket account settings, don’t be scared, everything is OK. Further, after the process is completed and the smart is restarted, notifications for non-certification may still pop up, this is how the card will fall, do not be alarmed. After the reboot, contrary to everything that I read to you above, we proceed to the next item.
2. Push activation
- On smart, open the “Files” application and look for a folder with 4 downloaded files.
- Install the GPS file 21.24.56.
- We go in the settings of the smart, applications, applications, in the upper right corner, click on the four dots and select Show system processes, look for the Google Services Framework in the list and delete it.
- Again in the folder with files and install gsf10.
- Open the Phone application and enter the code *#*#426#*#* to check the activation of push notifications, in theory the result should be CONNECTED.
- We repeat the removal of Google Services Framework.
- Again, in the folder with files and install gsf fix2.
We reboot the phone and then check the push method above. Ready...
!!! Further important actions after all;
We go to the Play Store in the settings and turn off auto-updates for applications.
Then We go to the smart settings -> applications -> applications -> Google Play Store -> Traffic statistics -> Transfer in the background (transfer to the disabled position). We do the same step for Google Play Services.
Enter the Google Play Market and disable Play Protect.
We do not update Google Play Services, AT ALL !!! Google Play Services only works with version 21.24.56 installed by us.
We do not install any clone application. Services are not friendly with them and can present another hemorrhoids.
3. Device certification.
We do according to the instructions, simple and understandable, by reference;
Как снять блокировку Google Play: "устройство не сертифицировано Google"? • Android +1
Как вы наверное уже знаете компания Google начала блокировку работы фирменных приложений, а на экране Android появляется ошибка "устройство не сертифицировано Google". Решаем эту проблему! C марта 2018 года компания Google ввела новую политику по борьбе установки своих фирменных приложений, GAPPS...
androidp1.ru
. After the process in the play market in the settings, Information, the annoying “Device is not certified” will disappear, but after a while it will come out. Do not pay attention, does not affect the work of the Market.
And lastly, update the system only via OTA (over the air).
That's all.......
If you have any questions, write in a personal, I will answer as soon as possible.
I wrote the given tutorial on the basis of several tutorials, and on the basis of my experiments and mistakes, to finally arrive at a perfect and 100% working tutorial for the moment.
