Hello there,
I own this phone for about a year. I bought it with Android 6.0.1 and Google suite working - I was able to sync my google account on it and use Google apps with no issue.
Since I did not receive any updates, I upgraded to Android 8.0.0 using Odin and a stock image from samsung-firmware.org namely C7018CHM1CRH2/,
which immediately updated OTA to C7018ZMU2CRI1.
All because I did not wanted to root my device.
Unfortunately this version is for CHM only, and I am stuck with a really nice phone, and a really unpleasant situation:
NO google services available
add Google account impossible
Google store not existing.
I tried
some apps for installing the google suite (one of them for Xiaomi, one "universal")
apks for google services (framework service, play service, authentication framework, contact sync, calendar sync, etc.) and for Google Play Store, some were installed, some not(auth & contact sync), with versions for Android 8.0.0
The visible result was that in the "Add Account" in settings, google appeared as an option - not working, though.
Can you advise on an alternative solution?
Would C7010 / 701F stock images work on C7018?
Thanks,
You can try installing a custom recovery and flashing an OpenGapps image to fix that... or try sideloading the apps onto the device.
Downgrade from Oreo to Nougat - failed. Odin <Auth> error, sw rev check fail
I did try to downgrade the Oreo update to nougat in order to avoid the original issue of this thread - No Google suite on Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro SM-C7018.
And the result was very disappointing: soft bricked it.
Stuck on loading loop. Entered bootloader from recovery mode.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
[Solved] - installed sammobile image of OREO - Still no Google applications

I wanted to avoid rooting ... I tried side loading, did not work.
Case closed
I returned the C7018 and got a C7010 instead.

And to others who are stuck with this variant -
C7010 and c7018 are literally 99.99% same the only difference is c7010 has tgy csc and has google services while c7018 has no google play service and has chc....
If you don't want to stick around with c7018 with no play services and stuff ... then you can install a custom rom for your variant (Sudo Rom , Eulah rom , etc which support c7018 natively )
But if you don't want to void your Knox/warranty then you can flash this official firmware via Odin-https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=18703
So problem solved ....
Years later, I am writing an answer to the subject so that it is necessary for my old phone to get a solution. I have a samsung C7 Pro SM-7018 Android 6.0.1 phone. Since an application that I use very often does not work with Android 13, I took my old phone back to use it. I thought I'd do an update while I was ready. I downloaded the latest version Android OFW 8.0 Chinese Oreo software and installed it with odin. But I saw that Google play services are not available. I installed google play services and store. But didn't worked. I downloaded Android 7.0 but Odin didn't installed it. I tried to install OFW 6.0.1 but no way. After all I tried to instal custom fw but there is no OEM Unlock option in developer mode. so TWRP Recovery installation didn't work. At last I downloaded Hong Kong version SM-7010 OFW and installed it to SM-7018 now I have google services and store. also firmware includes my region language Turkish. No need to patch language or else. Now my Phone is OFW SM-7010 and 8.0 Oreo.
You can use SM-7010 Hong Kong OFW in SM-7018 c7 pro.
Today I did factory reset on my Honor 8x JSN-AL00a,
Then the version I got 8.2.0.175(C00),and after about a minute got a security update of 6.5mb,
Then I tried to install GMS installer but can't,and there happens a mysterious thing,
"I installed play store directly through Google installer app and play store is working,will there be any problem or everything's okay?

It's ok, but don't update to emiu9 Google services not work.
I've got a nokia 7.1 and setting up now. I have three problems.
I cannot install netflix. It does not appear from the google play store. If I install it manually, only showed a message 'this phone is not supported.' what will be the problem?
I cannot use google pay. I can load the information of my credit card. When I try to authenticate the card for the actual use, it fails. The app says, this phone is unlocked or changed and for the security reason, the use of google pay is restricted. But in my knowledge, my phone is in mint condition.
It is android 9. with security patch for 1Aug2018. I found from your website that it is not the latest update so I tried to update but, the system update says this is the latest version.
I'd like to fix at least the security update problem. It is annoying to keep it August.
Any solutions?
Is there any way to install the security update manually?
Are you running the standard ROM? Sounds like you might be rooted and running a custom ROM.
I have also some problems on my phone nokia 7.1 TA-1085, when i opened the camera it says camera keeps stopping. My youtube, torch light and camera wont work. Some months ago it worked automatically and stoped working few days. It happende 2 times. Now its not. I did many things like clear storage, forced to stop still not.So today I updated android 10 still not. Any solution ? Please;

Are you bootloader unlocked? Netflix will not install if the phone is bootloader unlocked.
You can manually install the security patch OTAs. Go to the OTA DLL thread ...skip to page 6/7. Download the .zip package for the each monthly update and put them on an SD Card. Reboot to recovery and select "apply update from SD."
I'm on mobile so I can't link right now.
Help me!!
gtr 47 please open the app, and select "check for updates" on the watch device page to continue update.

Hello again, Yes, you can download Notify & Fitness for Amazfit(Green Logo), You Download from here (XDA Developers) a previous version to downgrade, and when you complete, you run again Zepp oficcial, for update.
If the downgrade can't complete, select to update from notify, and choose stock firmware!
in many cases can't update correct to the latest firmware.
Also If you have mi fit in the phone, uninstall it, because the devise gets confused with both (Zepp and Mi Fit) and if you have the magiacal unicorn Zepp Edition, you should have the online update setting on.

I had the same problem in 2 cases, but with notiffy and after some tries, it managed to downgrade the fw file, and when I connected in zepp it updated the fonts succesfully.
But it took over 3-4 times in each case through notify.
Hello, could you let me know the version you used to downgrade and where I can download it.
Thanks

I don't have mifit, I had zepp aex 5.4.0 and the watch on version 1.3.7.17. Trust when I tell you I have try everything. Downgrade all version, install all app version since the watch came out, and nothing woks. I use notify and fitness to do does downgrades and always fail at fonts, I had some luck getting the phone to work, but I went crazy and did the update to the Last version and then again the problem with the fonts. Open to suggestions
well, i guess its the end, after the new update 1.3.7.17 i cant dowgrade to any version. always fail, im trying to downgrade to 1.3.4.14.
News, I managed to get the watch in to home screen and use it with all functions. The problem, I can barely see the screen, it's a glitch I think, I can unly do this with the charger connected and sending two notifications to the watch and pressing the power button. I can use the watch and do everything but when I disconnect the charger or leave it for a time back to "please open the app and select check for updates". Trying to do something new I'll be posting soon.

As you describe it, there are many issues to the device, there is a chance to be a faulty device.
Contact huami if you are still in guarantee.
for the one case I rolled back the firmware, the problem was that it didn't updated the fonts correctly, and the screen was going on and of instantly, but when I managed to rollback, and update the new firmware successfully , the problem was corrected.
Also when you go for official last update (if you rollback) choose official Zepp, Not AEX or Magical unicorn's.
And Don't disconnect the device from app or bluetooth, while the hole procedure (All files) are updated.
Also you can download a previous official version of zepp, and it will update automatically the firmware that was distributed on the specific version of zepp

thaks for the reply. i have this in mind, i can downgrade to any version with notify and fitness, maeby if i go to the version when the problem happens i can manage to update the firmware. ill give it a try.
Can we stop the Zepp app from auto updating? When I last opened the app it instantly triggered my watch update without warning me. The worsts part was that my battery was low near 10% which is very risky.
My condition is worse than yours...
I'm also stuck on the same screen as in the picture you sent & I can not install anything.
If I try to update anything or even upload a design background to the watch, I get an error message and the watch restarts. :crying:

MIUI 14 for the Poco X3 NFC ist based in Android 12
i got updated on miui 14 i dont see any major difference the only thing i saw was the theme store enable for my region, even when it was locked as well i use to change my region to india and use the theme store. Miui on MI phones look totally different the GUI is changed but for poco x3 nfc is just a so called MIUI 14 with theme store enabled sadly poor Poco and MI
..
Hi
I received a notification for update on my X3 NFC (MIUI Global RJGMIXM).
can i proceed or postpone it for better update ?
My phone did not like the update, it goes into the main screen, says finishing update when you pull down the notifications and reboots into recovery mode, when I reboot it repeats going into the main screen and recovery mode.
Safe mode works but I don't know what to do lol.
edit: restarted from safe mode, is working now, everything works as normal, but my shortcuts were wiped lol, what a weird behavior.
