Hope this is an appropriate place to post this :
I was very keen on the Honor 7 due to 64gb memory, sd card, octacore processor, battery and price.
I ordered one from China, and have had it for 2 days. However, am having severe problems.
When adding an account, there is no option for 'Google'.
I have installed Google Play from the Huawei app store and added an account via Play's startup, and for a while, I could download
from Play store and synch gmail and contacts.
I then started to get error "Error while retrieving information from the server RPC:S-7:AEC-0 ..." when trying to download from
the Playstore.
I have tried *many* recommendations including :
*Deleting data and cache from Play app, Play services, and framework services.
*Deleting the account and re-adding.
*Full factory reset and adding Play again from the app store.
*Uninstalling Play service updates so it rolls back to factory version and running Play again to force it to update Play services
to the latest version.
Some of the attempts temporarily resurrect Play, and synching, but now I get "Google play services which some of your
applications rely on is not supported by your device"
Each time I try a fix, the time it runs successfully seems less.
Is it worth me perservering with this : for example is it the need for international firmware on the phone? Could flashing a new
ROM get round this?
Is it because I can't add a Google account. It's weird I managed to download loads of apps, but now can't download any!
Or is it likely to be a phone hardware / firmware / memory unfixable problem?
In every other respect, it's a superb phone and I am reluctant to start the whole returns process if possible, however, if I have
to , I must! (Trouble is, I can't see another phone I want as much : my requirements are maximum processor and memory plus must
support sd card).
Any help much appreciated.
My best guess is that you picked up the wrong version of GPS. You have 64bit processor and therefore must select the corresponded GPS. Try this:
Factory reset and enable adb debugging. Go to http://www.needrom.com/?s=honor+7&sa=search&scat=0, choose the correct ROM or upgrade if exist and flash it following the instructions carefully. Do not miss the ROM or instructions otherwise you can brick the phone.
After that flash the correct GPS from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-7-8-93-2104405-440-android-apk-download/ and GP from http://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/google-play-store-apk-latest-version-download/
Flash on your own risk. I'm not familiar with your previous activities and I'm not taking any responsibility. Good luck.
I am having exactly same problem with my honor 7. Glad I am not alone, however, I was not able to fix it on my own.
I actually did almost what piskr proposed: Installed older version of Google Play 5.7.10 or similar and so far it looks good.
Give it a try, apk could be found on the web
I have the same problem. I thought that was my fault and I am the only one. Now I see this is not specific. Bye the way I don't know the solution.

Don't worked for me...
I have the same problem. Google Maps and StreetView don't show available, including a lot of other applications. Help please!, i need this apps. Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks
so no one knows a possible solution for this problem??
Market is filtering results because the resolution of the device.
We need a patched market.
i do not belive market is the problem, since in older versions of this roms the market works just fine. i belive it has to do with the fingerprint, in wich i already tried to change it but with no sucess, since the market is not changing what appears in anyway... so i dont know what i m missing in the build.prop
When I search for a specific App, the counter show 6 hits, but the list of application only show 2.
So the market find all the Apps, but hide some.
Any sugestions??
---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------
OK, this is the problem "The Market", (I say the service, not the local application on the phone), now discriminate which application is compatible with your phone and which not.
If "The Market" marks an application as incompatible with your phone, then the application are hidden in your phone.
So the alternative is to present the phone to "The Market", as a different terminal (ie: NOT U20i).
Any suggestion on how to do that.
Regards,
GK
have you flashed the google apps yet?(at the CM7 forum)
then the problem might probably be the market,
rumors says that the new market has some kind of bug to some users
minicm7 has a new release (v21).
would You like give it a try?
cheers,

i have avast security installed on my gs3 and it has found a problem. it says:
android framework
potentially unwanted program detected -
android: fjcon-d [pup]
if i click on resolve it asks me if i want to uninstall android framework
i've googled fjcon-d but can't find much info on it other than saying it's a trojan - how much of a threat is it and should i uninstall android framework or is fjcon-d a false positive
Uninstall framework = no boot .
You give no information regarding firmware .

Regardless of whether it actually is a virus there are 3 methods a virus can hve gotten that deep
- implemented in the custom rom (not necessarely by the maintainer but through unsupervised mirrors)
- Root permissions on an app that includes a virus (again, if sideloaded possibly by a mirror)
- Exploit of a bug in Exynos to gain temporary root (e.g. the camera exploit on old firmwares) by a "normal" app
However we need futher details on ap, kernel, rom and possible patches you used - including Luckypatcher patches or similar
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
it's just the standard rom from new all i've done is root it.
here's a screenshot
Have a look here (amazing tool is Google search)
http://www.virusradar.com/en/Android_Fjcon.D/description
like i wrote in my first post i've googled fjcon-d and i've already been to that link you gave me but it doesn't give much info other than that it is a trojan, or am i missing something but thanks anyway

I shouldn't worry about it too much, there's quite a lot of android listings in the malware database, I will run your AV on mine and see what it throws up

I just checked but realised that I have jkays framework installed, so probably irrelevant result but nothing shows up
ok, thanks for your time and trying
edit: *solved solved solved*
i also noticed today that a few apps wouldn't update while others would. the one's that wouldn't would only download a few kb's of data then get stuck, these apps were: bbc iplayer, bet calculator, c-locker and chrome browser. i had recently installed the Theftspy app from this forum a few days ago and remembered it installing some kind of framework so i have just uninstalled it(Theftspy) and now all the apps update without a problem. i have also just done a scan with avast security and it never found any problems so i guess it must've been Theftspy causing the problem
Hello there!
I am facing the following problem:
A colleague of mine asked me to remove some malware from his very cheap no-name android phone. Actually it does have a name, it is a Yezz Andy 3.5EI (DDMBrands Andy 3.5EI).
I managed to remove some of it, but some seem to be manufacturer bloatware that are infected somehow. I tried kingoroot to root the phone and remove these applications / packages, but basically at every restart it removes the root binary and reinstalls all the malware again (the optimizing app x/y message appears at restarts and basically it's doing it for the malware).
The most annoying one is an application called MonkeyTest that randomly installs during use, part of the package com.android.wp.net.log (with the apk in /data/app/com.android.wp.net.log-1.apk). So obviously without root access I cannot remove that package (and some others with it that install some adware / random popups etc) .
This is the strange part, because if the phone wasn't rooted and it's internal OS memory is protected.. the only obvious way these packages could've gotten there is through a legit manufacturer update (at least that's how I imagine it)
The best solution would be to somehow root it and find a compatible clean Android and flash that or at least some way to remove all the malware. I searched all over the internet, but it's really hard to find anything for this 'brand'.. so maybe someone with more experience can help me out here.
Phone details: Model no.: Andy 3.5EI / Android version: 4.2.2 (the newer ones according to the manufacturer site have 4.4) /Basebrand v: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V1.F1.P2 9,2013/10/30 14:14 / Kernel version: 3.4.5 (Jun 18 2014) / Build no.: ALPS.JB3.MP.V1 / Custom build version: YEZZ_ANDY_35EI_FR_V06_20140618
Any help would be appreciated as I'm kinda new to phones (used to be a developer, but never did anything mobile related)
Thanks in advance!
Well have you tried factory resetting it sometimes it will fix it but you did say something about bloatware so you are going to have to root your phone and I prefer using root uninstaller

Have you tried an antivirus software google play has great ones try it and has your friend installed any application other then the play store or has he/she downloaded any files like music, pictures, documents, etc.
Of course I tried factory resets and antivirus apps they remove them but they will just auto-reinstall after a few moments. And after reboot they all install.

These are built into alot of devices from places like China. The only way to prevent it is to flash an AOSP based image. The main issue there is that there normally isn't anything available for them

Yes it really seems like it, though I remember when he bought the phone last year I helped him set it up for the first time and I don't recall noticing these so I'm pretty sure they came with an update, also here's some additional info that I noticed since:
There is a service called 'TimeService' that belongs to a package called com.android.provider.down2-1.apk which was downloaded last month and I think that is the one causing all the issues. When I rooted with kingo-root and before I rebooted (root kindof 'works' till I restart, but is still limited) I tried uninstalling some of the built in apps, such as the yezz appstore and others with root uninstaller. It actually worked on those and they're gone now. Even after a factory reset they don't show up, however I cannot remove that TimeService thing. This gave me the idea to try a unix console app to actually see the message I get.
I gave the console app root permission with kingo and I could walk through the system files. I located that package and tried manually deleting it but I got the Operation failed, permission denied message.. I tried chmod, chown on the file but no use, even tried switching to the 'system' user that the file belongs to, but that can't do anything with it either.
The thing is that if it actually let me remove stuff such as the manufacturers appstore and others, this is really strange. It is acting like a legit computer virus, which I have never seen for mobile phones before It keeps installing the MonkeyTest app which is apparently a trojan, and if I remove it, it just reinstalls it after a few seconds and also everytime the phone reboots it installs a few other apps: BatteryBot, Perfect Cleaner and some others to which I also get notifications for being malicious.
One other thing that happened is that out of nowhere (the phone was just sitting on my desk and was working before) when I picked it up the screen was black so I had to remove the battery since I couldn't do anything with it. After I reinserted the battery I was greeted with a different startup screen that said 'factory mode' then a list appeared written in chineeze characters.. I pressed the power button it took a photo with the back and front cameras, then started activating the GPS.. so I removed the battery again. When I reinserted it, the phone just started normally.
Same problem
Have you found a solution for this "Time Service"? I got the same problem since May 5th and i did everything i could think to fix it, with no positive results... Please, if you know anything about fixing it, send me a message to [email protected]. I don´t know what else can i try :c

Hello there,
Unfortunately I only had the phone here for a few days and this was all I could do. I am still pretty sure (more than 90%) that it was part of an official update from the manufacturer in May so I'm guessing it was either intentional on their part or they got hacked or something. What I finally did was using kingo root (without a restart, it gives you some temporary access) and root uninstaller to remove most of the original bloatware (even the yezz app store and a bunch of others) to balance out the phone slowing down. I set up the webroot mobile anti-virus app to prevent new ones in the future.. and I set the 3 remaining ones on ignore (the ones that always reinstalled on startup: timeservice, monkeytest and I think batterybot).
The phone is now running fairly smoothly and my collegue can use it.. though I warned him to try to avoid using it for banking services etc... as I don't know what exactly the remaining ones do (though I think all they do is try to install more ads... )
You could try contacting the manufacturer to see if they have anything to say about this.. and maybe update this thread if you find out anything new (I kinda avoided that since judging from the website and the fact that their update installs viruses I doubt it's a serious company)
Imo the only real solution would be the one posted by zelendel and that is flashing a new clean image on it, but unless you get one from the manufacturer along with some help on how to actually root it effectively I doubt you'd find anything on the internet, at least I couldn't
Cheers!
Hello, Doctors!
(If I posted in wrong section, please move where it belongs )
First, I want to thank you, all the community, for your great work. I'm following you for some years and your advices and solutions saved my devices or make them better.
Now, I'm pretty cautious with my devices but error is human.
Somehow, I've managed to infect my device for the first time, ever.
What's done is done, keep clam and let's fix it, I said to myself.
But the infection is too deep for my skills and I have to beg for your help.
Here we go:
Device:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2
Miui 9.6 Stable | Global 9.6.3.0 (LHMMIFD)
Symptoms:
Play Store
- version 5.x.x
- can't update: it says "new version is available, will be downloaded and installed" but nothing happens.
- sometimes when I try to open the app it says "App in not installed"
- app is not showing in "Installed apps"
- there are 7 apps that can't be updated: they download, installing... and then just error 504
- apps that wouldn't update: Gmail, Google, G, Drive, G Play Music, G Maps, Google Services for instant apps and YouTube
- device region blocked on China
- Gmail error: "Gmail relies on Google Play Services, which is not supported by your device"
- updating Instant Apps returned "Item not found"
Treatment applied so far:
Factory reset > set up as new device - not working
Used Raaj52's excellent guide to flash TWRP (wiped all including SD card) and root.
- Flashed official MIUI 9
Miui 9.6 Stable | Global 9.6.3.0 (LHMMIFD)
- all Play Store issues are here
- installed SupeSu: didn't detect root, but it should
- SuperSu doesn't shows any apps
- redo root process: Sure detected root but still not showing any apps
- can't update SuperSu
- installed TitaniumBackup - uninstalled Play Store and installed latest version 12.x.x.
- reboot device: stucked in bootloop
- back from square 1: TWRP, flashed all the stuff again
- all the problems are here
- can bootloader be infected?
- don't know what to do anymore
- please help!
- thank you!
Happy holidays to all!
Welcome on XDA board (^_^)....
there is no infection at all, it's a common problem that google has stopped supporting android 5 "which our latest MIUI is!", the problem has been discussed and solved (somehow) here https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/help/update-gmail-app-error-504-t3874934 and please use search before posting...greetings
I see, but...
Play Store should have nothing to do with this.
It should stay to latest version regardless what app I have installed or try to update, Google or other. If Xiaomi decided to not offer further suppot for some Google apps ( not likely, though), it’s ok-ish. Users and other apps are depending on latest Play Store app to update al apps.
Why my PlayStore is stucked on 5.x. x and not updating to last version? Why I ‘m blocked to china region? Believe me I searched, before posting.
So, I have to garbage my phone because I’ m tired to flash ROMs, softbricks, endless tutorials or junior members offering solutions, telling me to search for threads. Or I’ll go for iOs. Please, read my post carefully before offering a solution. Thank you.
Gmail, Google, G, Drive, G Play Music, G Maps, Google Services for instant apps and YouTube can be updated

so the solution would be the great Skinny version of MIUI made by @Gyovany96 ....you just need (in TWRP) wipe cache, Dalvik cache and system before installing the new ROM and the good news is a new version just came yesterday! I believe it comes with latest google apps preinstalled if not you can simply flash OpenGapps variants or installing MicroG Gms core and service framework then sideload google play store and installing it.
and about bootloader, it has nothing to do with specific apps ,it contains scripts that loads kernel modules/drivers and internal storage partitions.....etc , so can it be infected? actually yes but every bootloader differs from every device model so it's impossible to make such a huge effort and apart from that if I would really make a virus for s pecific model bootloader, I'd play with CPU freq. and disable thermal throtle to burn the phone or simply to drain battery like hell or maybe corrupt the boot partitions to make it stuck at every boot or corrupt the charging voltage levels to make it impossible to charge again....and the evil goes on not just to prevent google store from updating!

I already got the update, I need the rom that can be flashed using SP Flash tools, anyways, the CTS profile check is done in the hardware level, so, it's almost not worth installing, yes, you can use magisk hide props config to set the evaluation type to basic but I don't know if it will work after hmd stops giving us updates........
