Has anyone gotten google play to work? I like what I see. It does seem quicker, It recognizes 4G LTE for my carrier, and it supports wifi calling, but I can't get Google play to work.
that link i provided was the hassle free way of getting it to work instead of manually installing it with google installer apk
also check ur data connection management n make sure play store has permission to connect to data
I tried yesterday with clean install, with and without gapps, with and without Google installer nothing worked... Play store still not working
it worked for me on my first install, but in saying that since u mentioned it i did a full wipe and re-installed and now its not working for me either...very strange
try this for now http://xiaomitips.com/download/google-installer-app/
im charging my phone atm cos i full drained it playing around too much haha but i'll try too n come back with results
ok dont know how i managed it the first time but seems the link i provided is no go so i'll be ammending my first post but here is how i got gapps working now
install the google installer v2 apk n install as instructed, but this will still not get it working 100%
then goto the APKMirror.com and download the lastest framwork and play store apk's and install
BOOM! everything works again

Can someone check if Smart Lock works on this ROM? Seems like previous releases had issues with this feature.
Thanks.

Smart lock settings do open this time. Didn't test beyond that, though.
Well I have finally got this firmware working. The gapps are working and I rooted it and deleted all the Chinese bloat. It runs real smooth and fast. Since it was a Chinese firmware/ROM and is technically not meant for US, but does support band 12, it has Wi Fi calling. If it was released here, T-MOBILE would probably have stopped that. Nice feature on an awesome phone. The only thing lacking is sd card support.
sorry wrong

It's very easy. First install your firmware, then through fastboot, install twrp recovery and flash SuperSU to root. After you reboot, go back into twrp recovery and flash the google apps file. Here's a link to a YouTube video on how to do it. They also do root in the video, but you do not need to do their way. https://youtu.be/OuIjlX5vSXs

How did you brick it? Did you do clean install? This method should not cause brick, bootloop at the very worst, but not brick. Place it on the charger and see if it will accept a charge. If the LED lights up, it is taking on a charge, let it take on charge and try restarting it in a couple hours.

i had a similar expeience. I didnt like way it was behaving with the new ROM so I decided to apply my most recent TWRP backup. After reboot its bricked. No led then blue led etc. I can still enter fastboot and commands complete but it will not boot TWRP and go to blue led. I have asked for help on another thread but no replies yet.
All help and suggestions please
Thanks Madmicro , that's exactly same here. The rom itself still boots up now.

If you are rooted then netflix wont show in play store. If you use magisk then you can have hidden root and Netflix will show in play store.

Which rom are you using? It could be due to missing drm widevine support. I'm using slim and netflix shows the download option
If magisk is passing safetynet check then you will be able to see netflix in playstore.

Yeah, magisk wasn't passing the safety so I downloaded the fix and it was OK but still no download button. I gave up I'm now on aex and Netflix is fully functional.
BTW I was on a miui custom rom, miui BR, It is pretty good but I couldn't solve this problem plus the notification on miui made me change.

A catalogue of errors I've been through to get this phone working.
I basically tried a custom rom, didn't like it, tried to go back to stock and been stuck in this limbo ever since.
I've managed (after 2 days of trying) to get into a stock rom now. Bootloader is still unlocked.
However, I fail the safetynet check, cts profile match false.
I've tried stock firmware, flashing in fastboot, you name it. Nothing seems to work.
I think part of the problem is while all this has been going on, my build number shows something very odd.
It shows,
8.0.0.046(0ECN)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wtf is that? And no matter what I flash, that never changes. Is that a real build?
I was smart enough not to make a note of the original build details before I messed with it.
Any ideas? I'm so fed up with this, I really need Google pay working again.
All I want is to wipe everything out and put a stock proper image on this device and use it.
for me on 3 huawei phones (p9, p20 lite and honor 8) safety net isnt working all time. only when i rooted with magisk, then i got success message. without magisk all time are failed. Even clear stock flashed are failed.
adn about "8.0.0.046(0ECN)" see here : read post 4
Flash Magisk 16.4.
Also, it seems like it doesn't effect apps. Google Pay and Snapchat works fine even SafetyNet fails CTS profile.
Hello.

Will absolutely not work, or even show up in the app store if you have an unlocked bootloader.
Everything on your phone can be official, but you have an open bootloader and it will not show up or run if you sideload it, it will crash at once, even tho it worked to sideload in the 7.1.X versions.
I tried to root and use magisk to to hide, which work with everything else, like Pokemon Go, and banking apps, but not on Our World, still won't show up in play store. How is this possible? I've not seen this written about anywhere.
All my testing have been done on a Galaxy S10

How did you install the game with an unlocked bootloader? As soon as I unlocked the bootloader on my Pixel 6 Pro the game disappeared on the Play Store.
Netflix is not working since I have android 10, I installed from 0 and Netflix doesn't appear in Google play, and official apk doesn't work for me.
Recently CTS won't pass with Magisk installed (even with Magisk hide). Google must have changed SafetyNet rules, Magisk did not catch up yet. It's not clear if this issue is impacting all Magisk users or only some. I can't pass CTS anymore, Android 9.

Likewise on stock android 10 for the past 2 or 3 days. No mods installed as such and failing CTS.

Probably out of luck, DRM certificates are gone forever. At least that was the case for Mi A1 phone, but seems to be the same for A3.

No, you screwed it up. As far as I know, service center can't restore DRM keys even if they wanted to, they are flashed in factory and unique to each phone. The only solution is probably to replace whole motherboard. This was the case with Mi A1 and all Sony phones where unlocking of bootloader removed DRM keys as well. Nevertheless, you can try your luck and contact your service center..

This is worst I really did not expect that in messing with persist image really permanently destroys it and I will not be able to enjoy HD videos of Netflix on my a3. Other than that, what are the disadvantages of loosing L1 (messed up DRM) ?
they pulled back the update maybe that's the reason.
and if your device is bootloader unlocked it's also a reason...
i installed Netflix from apkpure.

Yeah, it's unfortunate, many people are advising to "just flash persist.img and it will solve your issues", but it doesn't seem to help in first place and additionally damages the phone beyond repair. Lesson learned for you I guess, don't trust some random folks on the Internet..
Btw. as far as I know, 720p videos should be still playable on Netflix, it affects only full HD and 4K content (which need L1), which you wouldn't enjoy on 720p screen anyway. On Mi A1 I had only L3 (that was the default DRM level) and I did not notice any usability issues, Netflix, Google play music etc. were working nicely. On the small screen I did not notice that Netflix was playing at lower resolution.

It came back to 10.3.3.0 which is lower than before when i purchase it. Sadly L3 and they opened a brand new mi a3 and it was L1 so they are surprised. The technicial now is tying to do an ota. Though i doubt it will be fixed
Ps. Failed now they will change the motherboard

It changes these things in build prop, I doubt that it will help with anything for Netflix and even OP says that it's only to show Netflix in playstore (for phone models which are "unsupported" by Netflix officially, which is not the case for Mi A3).

Basically, f*ck Netflix and Google. We can't even watch the things, even if we want to pay for it, so f*ck them, I'll just download the movies/shows from somewhere else and put it on my SD card.

Hey guys! Good news
:victory: Got Netflix back to work with unlocked bootloader, current Bliss Rom and Magisk installed. :victory:
I believed that ctsProfile failure was the culprit of not being able to install Netflix from Google Play so I get it to pass thanks to @pkdon123 suggestion and files shared by @rudranshrajput and off course some G search. Here's what I've done (not sure if all steps are needed, I went throught it just once):
Solved ctsProfile with flashing two files through Magisk and rebooting.
Used Magisk Hide to hide it from GP and Google Services Framework. Then run SafetyNet check and ctsProfile passed without any issue.
Clear cache and data from both apps - GP and GSF. Then I had to reboot twice to get GP to work again but finally was able to find and install Netflix from there straight away and everything is working perfectly.
Let me know if it works for you guys. Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Hiding the full play services causes battery drain.
You only need to hide com.google.android.gms.unstable from play services.
All of this is already mentioned in the magisk documentation.
Also Netflix will still work with rooted device you just need to download it from a different source like apkmirror. It doesn't download from the playstore because play store isn't certified which is why we hide it in magisk.
If people took the time to read the applicable documentation then threads like this wouldn't have to exist

I was having the same exact problem and I solve this problem by enabling magiskhide and doing exactly what you have said I also tested by downloading the apk from the APK mirror and it was working absolutely fine but my problem was that I wouldn't be able to get Netflix updates from the play store also my device was uncertified and I was trying to make it certified which was easily done by flashing magisk also keep in mind that if you have only unlock the bootloader on stock ROM CTS won't pass and device will be non certified so if you want to stay on your stock ROM you need to lock the bootloader but I would suggest that instead of locking the bootloader you can flash magisk and use magisk hide just as a precaution as if she does anything wrong in future ota you can save yourself easily just by having and unlock bootloader.

Thanks for a suggestion. I didn't read the Magisk documentation and the truth is that I should but 'ain't nobody got time for that'... I consider myself just as an Android enthusiast and spending time to read all documentation I should to install custom rom and get root access would take enormous amount of precious time. I totally agree that If everyone would read the documentation (also write it responsibly) no such forums would be necessary. On the other hand this is why forums like this (Q&A, Guides,...) exist -> to share the knowledge.
And to the actual problem:
I had no clue that it could be actually connected to Magisk itself due to it worked on same device for several months on different custom roms without any issue. That's why I was looking for an answer in the ROM's thread. After disabling full GP Services I didn't notice higher battery drain, but disabling gms.unstable is sufficient. Installing Netflix from other sources is short-term solution which I off course did but I was looking for a solution that will last.
Off Topic: I've noticed that you're quite active in this forum and seems to have the knowledge. Keep it up and keep the patience. Thank you :good:
