My sister broke the screen of her Huawei Y5 prime(2018), after replacing the screen from a repair shop she could not sign in to any google apps(playstore, maps,facebook etc)
I search a bit about this issue, from what I understand the issue is because of US ban.
Phone specifications:
Name- Huawei y5 prime 2018
Android version- 8.1
Android security patch level- April 2020
google apps were pre istalled and were working before. Apps are still there but showing a sign in error.
My goal:
Using google apps and others without sign in issue.
Now what can I do? Watched some videos on youtube those suggests bypassing google account. But those videos are quite old and requests factory reset. Reset is not the issue but if the method shown in the yt video does not work(methods also vary from video to video) the phone will be stuck in phone set up.
Any help/suggestions will be vary appreciated. <3 (Pardon my English, I am not fluent in this language)
Have you checked other Google apps like Gmail? Are they working or require you to sign in? Either way, I would suggest you sign out and back into your Google account if you have come this far.
How-to:
Open Settings and tap on Sync to find a list of all the accounts you have added to your phone. Select Google here.
Tap More at the bottom of the screen and select Remove account.
To add Google back, go back to the previous screen and at the bottom, tap on Add account and follow the on-screen instructions.

I was performing a firmware update on my Asus Transformer Pad Infinty last week. Something went wrong, so I perfomed a factory reset.
After rooting again and making sure i was back to the latest firmware I used Titanium backup to restore most of my apps and data.
I went further by copying back most of my media files, etc (this took me half a day or so).
Titanium backup was complaining about a changed ANDROID_ID. Because I did not no what it was at the time and I was not able to restore due to an unpaid version, I chose to ignore the message.
Now I have the following problems:
- I don't receveive new Gmail by push notifications
- New Google calendar items are not pushed to my device.
- If I choose to send a new app from the Google Play website (from PC) to the device it will never arrive.
I don't have this problem with my android phone. I also do not have any problem when performing this actions manually (by refreshing..) and my push setting on my tablet are Ok.
If I look at my registered devices on the Google Play website (My Orders & Settings -> Settings) I see that the 'Last used' and 'Registered on' dates are the same and equal to the date i performed the factory reset. Google Play does not see my device as active anymore, somehow, while i'm still possible to add apps from the Google play app manually.
I figured this could have something to do with the changed ANDROID_ID. But now Titanium backup is not aware anymore of my original Id.
So in an attempt to get to know the id my device is registerd to on Google Play I was searching in the source of the Google Play Website and noticed the following:
'gd7XXXXXXXXX':{'name' : 'Asus ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T','icon' :
'https:\/\/lh5.ggpht.com\/9_o5_8emBAl4Tuzngu1vny_QuzJiCv4EE2hkr-i9xi3fTlvHzJM0M_Ej2qj-m7E2R_E\x3dw50', 'thumbnail' : 'https:\/\/lh5.ggpht.com\/9_o5_8emBAl4Tuzngu1vny_QuzJiCv4EE2hkr-i9xi3fTlvHzJM0M_Ej2qj-m7E2R_E\x3dw75'}}, selectedDeviceId: 'gd7XXXXXXXXX,

The 'gd7..' id resembles an ANDROID_ID so I entered this in the app 'Change Android Id' and restared my device. Now my device is using this Id.
But my problems are not resolved!
I don't know what I could do anymore besides another factory reset.
-----------------
Are my problems due to a changed ANDROID_ID?
How can I retrieve the correct ANDROID_ID, that belongs to the registered device that is mentioned on the Google Play website?
Or is there a way to register the device again with the current ANDROID_ID, without having to perform another factory reset?
I found out that the id from the source was NOT the ANDROID_ID, when i compared the entry of my phone to the id of my phone.
I also found out that there is another id that has a role in this: Google Service Framework ID Key.
I tried to clear the cache of the Google Services Framework and restart. This gave me a new GSF ID Key and the entry of my device on the Google Play website seemed to be reset (have a new 'Registered' on date).
However, I still don't get push services from Google!! :crying:
UPDATE:
My problem seems to be resolved already. Push services are working again like a charm.
I am not sure what exactly did the trick...
I disabled the Gmail app in Settings-Apps and enabled it again in the market.
Then I was busy with som push settings in IM+ and suddenly received e-mail again.
The other problems where also resolved... somehow.
Last week I noticed a device under my Google Play account (My Devices) that is not mine, a phone on a Romanian cell phone company network. I also noticed that someone from Russia had accessed my Gmail account. I changed my Gmail password (the old one was alpha-numerica,random, with symbols) and turned on two step authentication.
The Gmail account seems to be ok. The contacts all there and no messages removed or messages sent by people other than me.
The only sign of the intrusion is about a dozen "free" apps ordered by that device. It included sketchy gambling apps, a child's game that from comments I read has adult advertisements, and ringtones. After I changed the password there are new "free" media on the account - books and various video. These appear to be from a different user - all in English as opposed to Russian and nothing sketchy.
My guess on how this started - I downloaded an app with about 100 reviews. The next day the "free" apps started to appear, and the unauthorized device also was added the next day.
My SGS 3 isn't rooted. For Jellybean it seems that I have to wait for a stable root, should be another few days.
I contacted the Play Store support and they were of no help. They referred me to Gmail support but Gmail doesn't offer phone support. I think only support on a Google Group forum.
Any idea how this could have happened and how to get this device off of my account? My PC's are secure and my primary PC is Linux.

I have the IMEI # of the phone added to my account, also the model number (registered in Russian Federation). Could the IMEI be useful? I can PM if interested.
Imeis are quite useful to many people...Just don't pursue this on xda.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
My account too was almost hacked.
I signed into youtube and a notice was shown that someone from ip in china tried to log into my google account and it denied them and i changed my password. No weird apps nothing.
The thing is probably the app you downloaded.
Just because it has 100 downloads doesn't mean its malware but you need to check permissions always.
Even big games like "Paper Toss" has been know to sell peoples info to companies.
When you read permissions. There should be a list of all the options the app requests.
Be Smart. If you download a calculator, It shouldn't have access to your personal identy, messages and the big key is internet access.
If you download a calender it may need access to contacts but it it also needs internet access, its probably is storing your contacts and sending them out to a site that then sells to a company and lastly, your grandparents receive phone calls asking if they want to buy a service and use your name as who referred them.
Also. rooting is a good option. With an app on here called pdroid or droidwall you can download those apps but it will alert yyou when the app wants to use a permission (like internet) and gives you the option to allow or deny.
good luck
I have one update. I think that after I changed my password and went to two step verification, the purchases of "free" apps and media stopped. It's been four days and nothing new added. So far so good. Thanks for the replies. BTW, Google of no help.
I'd still like to know how the Gmail account was compromised - I may never know.
similar thing just happened to me (Galaxy Note) appeared on my account from no where. When I contacted google if they can help or if they are interested in tracking him down, all they said was we cant help you. And change the pw. Obviously I know that I need to change the pw. I know Apple would have tracked it down somehow if it was an iphone. My pw has 22 characters number letter symbols yet it was hacked.
Since google is not helping me I installed Android Lost app on this NOTE and waiting to get a location update via email. I know it wont do anything much and I cant do anything against him or her since no paid apps were downloaded. Still I would like to do something to crooks like this. He only had 6 apps installed (facebook,viber candy rush) and terminal emulator (which worried me).
I really hope that Android close their unlimited backdoors in the OS.
Yes, I know, many apps is doing it, but I like keep it clean, without any apps, I don't wan't root it too due to warranty resons so I have found this:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-clone-any-application-with-emuis-app-twin-feature-no-root/
Thank You very much for this solution. Directly is not working for our Y7 2019 but what I have discovered:
1. adb shell
2. settings get secure clone_app_list
answer is: null
3. settings put secure clone_app_list "com.facebook.katana;com.facebook.orca"
as wanted dual messanger and fb
4. nothing, nothing at all :crying:
hold on....
5. switch off, and then on phone and leave it for few seconds and You will see "twin app is updating" leave it for good 10mins and phone will duplicate all basic google apps (there is no twin app, and will be no any twin app) but somehow in Settings --> Accounts You will see not only "Personal" accounts but "Twin" now There is no any Twin App so You can't clone any app, but all accounts You can now like FB, messanger, Google services...
THE PROBLEM IS:
Switch off/on phone and all job gone, why?
Anyone is able help to save it on the end please?
Hey,
So I have this case at work, employee that was leaving company returned company issued phone after a very long time of deleting this user's google account, covid situation made it hard to return the equipment back to the company earlier.
There was a screen lock that was forgotten by this user, what made removing de-facto non-existing google account from it's settings impossible.
Only option was to factory rest it through recovery mode and try to bypass it.
The problem is that every tutorial I found online is outdated.
- I tried using the talkback way but the option to show privacy policy is not even there now.
- using proxy method while connecting phone to the Wi-fi also doesn't work because the error message that should pop up after a while of no internet connection also doesn't show up.
- Trying to open up any app using "share" option on selected text also doesn't work, after pressing "share" a pop up window with apps is empty.
My question is does anyone by any chance knows another way or maybe there is a possibility to downgrade the system so above solutions might work again.
We even tried to re-create this users' gmail account only to log in with those credentials but it didn't work.
HI all, I have been a follower of this amazing forum for quite some time now. A big thank you to the forum owners, mods and all concerned parties for the effort, information and forum.
I need help this time around. I have a XIAOMI MI 10T. WITH GLOBAL MIUI 12 ROM, running Miui 12.0.5.0., android 10.
Can some one please help me, to install either xiaomi's MI apps or a working third party or google alternative apps to Google contacts, Google Dialer, and Google Messages(SMS) Apps? WITH OUT ROOTING MY DEVICE?
It would be really awesome to have them back.
Problems I face with factory installed google apps are,
1.my contacts are not allowed to get saved on my device.
2.google dialer's call recorder self defeats the purpose it exists for. No video calling Built in.
3.google's message (sms) app is way too slow in searching through the contacts when I need to send a message and IT JUST DOESNT have an option to share a Contact in TEXT format, only mms is allowed for some reason.
4. Post DEC 2020 security update, non of the alternative apps from the google's play store work without bugs, or without solving the above problems.
HELP.
I even tried contacting google apps developer team, as per their developer contact email Id left in the play store (Which is, [email protected]). the automated reply said
