Hi all, need advice on a Moto Z [XT1650-05 Griffin] China version. I recently purchased this phone and it does not comes with Google Play Services and unfortunately the device prevent me from manually install them into the phone (the services stopped automatically) even with downloaded APK from apkmirror.
Have anyone trying to install Google Play Services into the phone ? or is there a way to install it ? Need advice from all gurus. Appreciated.
Thanks.
flash other regions' firmware, like EU's or US's, there are some choices on this forum. and boot img and system img from all variants of moto z's firmware can be inter-flashed, even other imgs (exclude the bootloader and gpt img). remember there always are risks when flashing or fastbooting anything unofficial.
I'm using the Chinese version with Euro firmware because I'm a google service user and I like the stock Android. It is suggested to flash Euro firmware to the Chinese model for the two models has the same hardware(except the dual sim slot).
For the latest version XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETEU-EMEA_6.0.1_MPL24.246-17_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-03_CFC_EMEA.xml, just unlock the BL and completely flash it with RSD Lite(Erase command should be included, remember to backup), and all the function will be alright, the dual SIM card work fine, too. But if you live in China and use vpn for google play service, the battery life will be a little shorter than normal.
By the way, you can also flash open Gapps to the Chinese firmware with TWRP recovery if you like Lenovo's UI.

I flashed @JackyGreen rooted rom on my 1650-05 and have no problem at all
Going from experience with earlier Moto cross-flashes: They work fine with no side effects but one.
You'll most likely but cut off from future OTAs so any update will have to be installed manually. But that's easily done if you follow this forum.

True, but the beauty of Moto cross-flashes was, that they could be performed without a custom bootloader and even without bootloader unlock. Not sure if that's still the case with the Z series (I see no reason why it wouldn't, tbh) but it was true for the previous X series.

I've never had a Moto with android before (I come from LG mainly, with some experiment with different brands...) but... more I know them, more I like them!
The impression I had is that they are really hard to brick... quite every error can be recovered eventually.... :fingers-crossed:

Steps to Install 5.1.1
Well,
You can install a custom rom....for me worked perfectly a Google AOSP 5.1.1 because is the same Nexus Device Rom.
1st step is unlock your device and is mandatory - We know this process unlock Bootloader-
You can get your unlock code from motorola , there are steps explained in the moto web page
2nd step is flash recovery
This process is put a little Software to reset cache and flash rom from zip file... for me worked fine TWRP
You need copy your rom to the device to be flashed
And the last is flash a logo to remove ugly wearning screen and install Gapps -Software from Google , chrome, maps, drive,andoid play etc....-
That`s all man...

I was just reading that you won't be able to receive any updates with international stock rom installed.
Is that really true? I can't find any option in settings to search or install any updates.
I am kind of happy with the international stock rom. No Chinese apps installed, no bloatware (so far found) and google play store is working.
Thanks!

What do you mean under international stock rom? Could you be more specific?
There are so called "webshop" roms, which are - as you can see in the name - modified by the online stores. Those roms are based on Indian version of eui , installed lots of bloatwares, multilanguages are contained. These are not official roms, not gonna be updated.
You should consider installing offical chinese/indian rom, which is gonna be updated for sure.

I am not really sure if I am running a Shop ROM. Just bought the phone from Gearbest.
I just thought that the Indian Version is the international version with multilanguage. I have LeEco Store installed and 3-4 other apps. But it really seams to be a Shop ROM because of the missing update option.

Just download the latest Indian version than rename it to update.zip and put it in the root folder and after that Power + Vol + and thats it?
I just dont want to lose German language on the phone. It is for my mother so usability is the most important, you know.
Thank you guys in advance!

Guess you are right. But you won't get OTA updates, if you use webshop rom. I didn't get neither.

Very simple. Yes.
I have Deutsch in my latest official Chinese 20s.
So does it mean that I can flash/update eather Indian or Chinese ROM just over the shop ROM without losing any data and language?
Sounds too easy for me
Yes, its easy like that i upgraded from shop rom to 21S Chinese - and I was wondering that german is better supported in 21S Chinese then in the germanized shoprom version ... only bad thing was - i lost the google play store.

And to get back Google Play Store you have to download it in LeEco store or just install the Indian version instead of the Chinese, right?

I installed the cookie version 92 2 works fine. After wipe wipe data, flash with twrp and is done. Try. The zip file is called
X820_TWRP_ADVANCED_V3.1.1_CUOCO92. ZIP
yes but i heard leeco engineering work on android 7
Heyyo, yeah that international EUI ROM is modified and won't get OTA hence the check for updates is missing.
For my x829 I couldn't upgrade to Indian or Chinese EUI directly via the recovery and update.zip. It would give an error message about file errors. Only way for me to flash other ROMs was to use TWRP via temp boot via fastboot and then flash other ROMs.
I ended up not liking even newer EUI versions so now I use custom ROMs as they have a better setup with the more like Stock Android experience with the quick settings in the notification drawer.
It's still hard to tell if LeEco will be able to follow through with Nougat for their phones due to all the financial issues they have... But meh, tbh I'm not worried given how darn good community ROMs are and how they don't have the odd quirks that EUI have.
Albeit, it would be nice if they at least put out kernel sources for Nougat (or I guess Android O which will be out sooner than later) which could improve community ROMs a bit

It was said by January. Still they didn't released an update :crying:
Last update i got was on 14th October 2016. When ever i send a mail asking about the next update they respond like we will inform in a week or two. But they never did. By the end of march they said that they are working on android 7 but it will take more time. They said expected release will be july last week. I mailed again now. No responses from them.
I like the EUI very much. I don't want to install some custom rom. But same time, this thing have lot of bugs and many futures need modification.
So I live in Australia and bought a 9r LE2100, which I have since read is the chinese model, and the chinese model should be running colorOS
But it doesnt, Its currently running OxygenOS 11.2.LE28DA
Can I follow generic guides for the 9r or do I need to do some conversion thing I read about or is it not possible on this model?
Thanks everyone
Maybe 9008. You need to wait for the official 9008 ROM
I'm sorry I don't follow.

The partition of ColorOS of 9R is different from that of oxygen OS !
Now, even for the Chinese version, rolling back ColorOS is very difficult.
Or you can find a Chinese after-sales service to help you.
They can operate for you remotely
Sorry so I did some googling and it said coloros is just a skin of android?
what is stopping me from installing twrp, rooting the phone or installing custom roms if its just a custom skinned android?
Caused by different partition forms.
So can I not flash a custom partition table or anything?
And in that case what actually is coloros? Everything I have seen is just that its a custom skinned android, but I have oxygenOS installed in about phone, but it apparently still uses a partition table not supported by the indian model of this phone?
Apologies for not understanding but I just dont see how my phone has colorOS on it

You don't have to think too much about the facts in principle, just know that the current way to flash ColorOS is only in Qualcomm 9008 mode

ColorOS is not very friendly to Google service. I don't suggest you use it
I dont want ColorOS.
All Im asking is can I follow the same guides to install TWRP, root my device and install custom ROMs as I can for the Indian version of this phone. All of the ROMs and guides linked in the 9r forum do not have model number specific guides or versions.
janga9 said:

I can't be the only owner of the New RAZR 2022 Chinese version can I?
Didn't do my homework android auto is not baked in the Chinese rom so can't use it and I rely on it. So I unlocked bootloader and flashed magisk and installed AA as system app, will test in the morning. Really good phone had flip 3 before so wanted something different hoping there will be away to global rom when it's released. I flashed magisk boot.img to slot b anyone know if that's right? Thanks

Hey mate,
Thanks heaps for starting this convo.
I have the CN version of the Razr 2022 as well, and pretty keen to move to the Global ROM, cause there's just a few weird things happening/that don't quite work.
I notice the ROM you've flashed is for the x30 Pro and Edge, not the Razr specifically.
Does that make a difference?
No I didn't flash that rom and if you do say goodbye to your device.
You need to flash oneli rom choose here I only followed the guide on how to, know one would flash a ROM from a different device would they?

Everything works just like it's an EU phone can't say if Chinese SIM will work although I'd be surprised if it doesn't. Contact sync can work on Chinese ROM also using an older Google contacts APK. Not sure what the other ROMs are but EU comes with no bloat what so ever just like a pixel phone.
Just wanted to say thanks to @james1089. I installed EU rom on my razr and I've never been so thankful for notifications. Everything seems to be working so far. The only thing is Netflix, but I don't use it much on the phone anyway. Anyway thanks again .
For those of you guys that are trying to install global rom, just follow what james1089 did. The only issue I ran across was unlocking bootloader and getting android SDK. Just YouTube it and then follow the rest of the guide as it.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to install gms on huawei p50 series European version, especially p50 pocket. I tried several methods, but all require or a downgrade, quindo you must necessarily own a p40 series or in any case in previous model that has come out of the factory with previous versions of emui, or a Chinese version of the device with harmony OS installed is required or finally to convert your device to a Chinese version, but for this procedure a downgrade to emui 11 or 10 is still required, which as mentioned before is impossible for the p50 series. Obviously huawei does not provide codes for unlocking the bootloader, so I am looking for an alternative way. As soon as a method for installation is found, it will be posted here. If you have medotes kindly post them
As far as I know P50 x started with EMUI 12. That's why you will not find a ROM to downgrade.
It seems that there is a custom ROM out for the pro but not for the pocket.
I just made another thread in this subforum to ask if someone can confirm that P50 harmony OS checks the phone model and refuses to run on the global version. Otherwise looking for HarmonyOS stock ROM and installation via TWRP could be an option.

The basic problem is that huawei does not allow unlocking the bootloader, not providing more codes since 2018. If you know alternative methods to unlock the bootloader, then install twrp and flash rom, you could write them here and I will be happy to try them
I state that I'm looking for solutions for native installation of gms, so 'gspace' or other emulation apps will not be good

How can I convert my p50 pocket eu to Chinese version? I tried several methods but with poor results
I think it's not possible for P50x.
It appears that in opposite to P40x they check now the smartphone model so that China ROM won't be available to install for an EU modell.

Yes, I knew. To convert the smartphone to Chinese version you need to downgrade to emui 10, which however you can not run on p50x as their factory os is emui 12.
That's why I opened this discussion to search or work on medotes for the native installer of gms on p50x eu.
Thank you for your reply.
