Same here.. please help, Google Apps stopped working :/ - Google Play, YouTube, almost all of them..

GMSANZHUANGQI.APK

let us know
I currently have the huawei mate 20 x. But I was thinking of selling it to get the cheaper in price 8x max. I got a few questions...
1) Did playstore and google stop working completely on the 8x max? Is there a solution?
2) Will the phone have issues in the future?
3) Will it get Emui 10 in the future?
4) Do you suggest I get it?
plzzzzzzzzz help my phone apps not work at all after an update
Hey Everyone,
Same problem here, it looks like the last update somehow wiped access/rights for the Google apps, that are now not functional (maps and maps based apps like citymapper/Uber and so on, YouTube, Gmail, G agenda, G drive, etc)
I had installed GMS when I received my phone from Hong Kong, to install the Google apps, and it worked fine. But reinstalling it won't do a thing as it has to do with the latest update.
Having a look around, it looks like the only solution is to downgrade it or install a new rom, but the problem is that for that you would need to unroot the phone if I'm correct. But this action is not as easy as on western terminals, at least not free as far as I could see online.
It seems like this problem is only from Chinese originating terminals, so it shouldn't be an issue if you get a phone that was for the western market and should work fine, but I'm not 100% sure. Emui10 neither, but is unlikely.
Finally I contacted customer service and they told me that Chinese phones are not made for the western countries, that they don't provide global ROMs and that they deter people from flashing phones as it could "damage" the terminal... BS.
All in all, it's a great phone, but now I'm left without any solution and few to no developers to come up with a solution as it's kind of a "niche problem". There are probably solutions from Chinese Dev but of no help for us.
The lack of solutions online makes me realise that I have to probably have to get a new phone to carry on using Google apps, which we all became quite dependant from.
Let's wait and see if any dev comes up with something, but I doubt...

So, this particular xda-noob got a MediaPad 10 FHD on a trip to China. The nice version, with 2GB of RAM and 1.4GHz clock, not the tuned-down version soon to be released in Europe.
I have plenty of questions, like will I be able to put international firmware (i.e. including Play Store etc) on it, but first things first:
Should that device be discussed on this board? Or should I wait for a separate board for the 10 FHD?
just flash gapps and u will have market

I flashed more than that. I downloaded the "world wide" firmware from the Huawei website and installed it, according to the instructions. Now I have everything I wanted (calendar, contacts,…) and more (all the apps I've installed on the phone) Yay
No rooting, no tricky renaming of files. Thanks, Huawei, for not making an effort to make my life complicated! Now… what is the reason our Chinese friends don't simply download that firmware instead of the Cinese one? Maybe they can't get a Google account, so all this beautiful stuff is useless to them?
Anyway: I'm sorry to say that i don't have a lot of questions at this point. What's a noob to do if everything works out of the box.
BUT: when questions eventually do emerge, is this the board for them?
Cheers,

CMW recovery and custom ROMs
Does the CMW installation and CM10 guide as described in this forum which refers to the mediapad 7 works for the mediapad 10 as well or would it brick the device? Since both pads called Mediapad I would recommend to open a separate forum for Mediapad 10 and Mediapad 7. Furthermore the official Android release from Huawei does not have google apps installed. Could you please release a guide how to flash it onto it? Thanks guys

hi martin,
I've purchased 3 10 fhd recently. one for myself, one for a friend in berlin, and the last is for my wife. Since we have to use those google staffs I flashed the international firmwares for all the 3 mediapads. But as far as I know there are quite a lot customers in china would like to stick on the stock chinese firmware for several reasons.
1. the development of the chinese firmware is more active. you will get more updates in this firmware.
2. you can still root the chinese firmware and install google staffs onto it.
3. anyway, the experience of accessing gmail, gtalk, youtube as well as facebook and twitter are either difficult or simply just impossible. so for most people in china it's pointless to flash an international firmware. It's impossible to get non-free apps from google play in China mainland as well as in Taiwan because the payment in such areas is not supported.
And there is another firmware for Huawei devices, the Emotion UI, a.k.a. EMUI, which gets tons of fans in China. This firmware is said to be one with special tunes and optimizations for Huawei devices such as D1 xl smartphone, P1 xl smartphone and, of course, the 10 mediapad. Right now there are a lot of fans of this firmware calling for a ``natively-rooted'' version of it, in this way installing google's staff would become easier.
Anyway, I also find this 10 fhd is quite a good choice. It just cost 2700 chinese yuan (~400USD or ~300euro) for the WIFI/2GB RAM/16GB ROM version.
If you are really looking for some interesting staff on your new toy, please think about installing or compiling full-functional linux for it. Right now I've compiled a gentoo linux for it, with x-window. It works as well as on my laptop.

Firmware S10-101u
Today I spotted a newer firmware on Huawei's website, and proceeded to install it. Only to find out afterwards that this was for the 3G version of the tablet.
So: for the wifi version, you want the one called S10-101w, for the 3G version, the one called S10-101u. Using the 3G firmware on a WiFi-only tablet gives an error message "Failed to update modem" that will sit on the screen and not go away.
Skype
I recently tried to use Skype on the MediaPad 10 FHD. Two problems:
1. Video didn't seem to work, neither sending, nor receiving.
2. The microphone volume seems to be so low that it's unusable.
(I've found posts about problems with Mic volume for other android devices. All fixes seem to involve rooting. Anybody tried to root a MediaPad yet?)
Google Maps and Google Earth navigation
Another thing that doesn't work as it should are the gestures for rotating in Google maps and both tilting and rotating in Google Earth.
I can tilt in Maps by sliding two fingers next to each other up and down. I can rotate by sliding two fingers above each other left and right. But the expected rotation gesture of doing circular movements with the fingers doesn't work.
In Earth, neither the tilting gesture nor any of those two rotating gestures work.
Some mobile phones seem to have this problem, possibly if they have bad multitouch support. I remember reading in some form (which I can't seem to find now ) that there are some kernel configuration variables that these gestures depend on.
Hi, there is a new Firmware (from 21.11.12) on the Huawei website.
My Mediapad should arrive soon from China ....

According to Huawei:
You will be attracted by the brilliant games.
It also has the simple quick applications.
With touch screen you can have ultimate experience.
I always enjoy my visits to Huawei's web site
But does anyone know whether it is possible to flash new firmware without completely resetting the tablet. Reconfiguring Wifi access, mail accounts, beginning World of Goo from level 1, etc. Had that twice last week.

The easiest way is to install the "worldwide" version of the software, instead of the China-specific one, which is on the tablet if you buy it in China. That will not only give you the familiar set of Google apps, facebook, etc., it will also remove chat apps, browsers, games, etc. that are specifically chinese.
Go to Huawei's software download site find you device in the menus, and find the firmware for your device. S10-101w for the WiFi-only version, S10-101u for the one with mobile connectivity.
You will get a large zip file, which takes a long time to download. China is far away.
You unzip it and follow the instructions in the PDF. The English is a bit funny, but they're entirely understandable and accurate. No point in repeating them here really.
The only thing you might want to know before you start: you will have to copy the files for the update onto a micro SD card that you plug into your tablet. So you'll need a micro SD card. No micro SD card, no update. And (unless you do the download with the tablet) you need a way of writing to that card with your computer. So you might need a micro SD -> SD adapter.
Oh, one more thing: the process pretty much wipes the phone. All installed apps are gone and have to be reinstalled. Wifi access and mail accounts etc need to be set up again.
I don't have a 10 inch media pad but the 7 inch one had fast boot, which allowed flashing files directly from PC to tablet with nothing but a usb cable, no micro sd required.
Maybe that works here too?
Maybe it works. Starting the MediaPad with Vol+ button pressed gives me a "Enter Fastboot mode" message. The fastboot program on the computer didn't recognise the device however.

Hurray! With the firmware from 21.11., both problems are solved.
More or less. Maps and Earth work as they should. In Skype, video with the front-facing camera works, but switching cameras makes problems. And the microphone is louder, but audio is really disappointing quality. As also witnessed by the audio recording app.
Anyway, in total the advantages outweigh the problem of having to play World of Goo from level 1 again.
where do I order from China? I want the one with 2GB ram? I looked at pandawill and they're selling the 1GB version. thanks
Hi, ordered my Pad 2GB/16GB/3G at Aliexpress dot com. Very quick delivery from China to Germany within 5 days.
But the Power adaptor is the China version....
My Pad is rooted already and I can use Ad blocker, remove some Software I dont like and so on.
But the Firmware needs some optimization. Not all works perfect ....

For what it's worth, I bought mine on a trip to the PRC, and it came witha NEMA 1 plug. I suppose you got the same. Two parallel flat blades. This is originally a North American standard, which might make it easier to find an adapter. It seems within China, a bunch of different standards are in use.
The Wikipedia article on power plugs and sockets is a good resource b.t.w.

I took a punt and asked my friend vacationing in china to buy me an HTC One dual sim.
It came, and guess what? It's impotent, castrated, it's an almost android ....
I knew china and google is in the middle of a spitting contest but I didn't make the connection. The phone has NO GOOGLE SERVICES which means: no gmail, no google maps, no play store....... :crying:
Lesson learned and BE WARNED...NEVER BUY SMARTPHONES FROM CHINA
What can I do? I'm dying here, it's a wee bit on the expensive side as a crotch scratcher.....
I have googled some sites and it requires me to root the phone and install the google api apk but I don't even know if the htc one dual sim can be rooted yet, or even if there is a custom rom for it.
Can anyone alleviate my suffering? It's here in my hands, running perfectly, so beautiful, BUT it's almost as useless as my old nokia feature phone without the app store (and I don't want to be sideloading apps and their updates all the time) .... arggghhhh

Your phone could have some malware installed because it might have a fake ROM installed. Go to about phone and show us your MIUI version info
Your device sure has some kinda vendor ROM installed. Try flashing global stable ROM.

Hey I had a very similar question here
Seems like there are a lot of issues right now with the phone getting hard bricked. I guess its maybe better to wait and see what transpires.
Just out of curiosity, what is ALP? I guess C185 is middle eastern region right. Also why do you need to change it?
I kinda wanted to change region so that I can install google play etc, and get rid of some of the firmware, but there may be other ways to do this, so i'm informed.

Alp represents Mate 10 and Bla represents Mate 10 Pro i want to change it because people say i get 6 7 hours of sot or 7 8 hours of sot but since i play some youtube videos on mine, i cannot even get 5 hours. People say im a heavily user and getting 7 hours but i use it not even heavily im not even playing a game just some whatsapp facebook youtube and my battery done. Besides in Turkey (I checked) mate 10 pros running C432. In here mate 10 is not officially selling by huawei its only pro and lite model but i want to change my version to european version i dont feel comfortable in that. I have found something like redlotus but most of the people failed while doing it and funky is charging us. I want odin for huawei xd its quite simle to do anything on it tho.
Just got my new Honor 8X Max in the mail and it's the chinese version (I'm living in Europe). The model number is ARE-AL00. I got the GMS installer and the Google Installer v2 and now I can open the play store, but I can't use it to install or uninstall apps, it just gets stuck on the "(un)installing" screen. When I try to install the Play store from a separate apk I usually get a program which I can't even open. And I've tried this with and without the software update. If anyone has got the Play store working on this phone I'd love to know how you did it.
Overall I'm pretty upset with this phone. I didn't realize I was getting the Chinese version and of course it comes with all kinds of censorship and ability restrictions, I spend like 10 hours trying to figure out how to root it and it turns out Huawei decided to make unlocking the bootloader impossible only a few months ago and funkyhuawei (with their insane prices) can't even do anything for a Qualcomm chipset so I'm S.O.L. I don't think the Chinese company I bought from will give a refund after the box is opened so I'm basically out my $300 if I want another phone. I was excited to be getting such great hardware for such a low price but the lack of functionality and customizability makes it a complete waste.

Same situation here, here is what I did to get Play Store works on my Honor 8X :
- Turn on the "Authorize unknown source apps install thing"
- Install GMS installer to get the Play Store works
- Install Gboard to get rid of the chinese keyboard everywhere.
But still, I'm searching for the Global Firmware and according to a Honor / Huawei Customer Agent, they do not allow firmware downloads anymore.
Hope this can help other people in the same case...

Thanks a lot for the help. My more-tech-savvy friend encouraged me to use F-droid and Yalp and that has been working fine so I'm going to give that a try before insisting on getting Google back...I emailed Huawei customer support about unlocking the bootloader and received an interesting response:
"We kindly inform you that in order to achieve a better user experience, Huawei has decided to terminate the unlock code application service. If your device is already rooted, we inform you that it no longer counts with warranty or device support.
Also, Huawei USA does not provide codes to unlock the bootloader under any circumstance. We kindly inform you that this action can potentially "brick" the device or in other words, renders the device completely unusable and voids the warranty service and device support. We have no control over how unlocking the bootloader will affect your device."
I'm emailed Huawei USA just cause I'm American (living in Sweden though), but this response suggests that maybe if I email Huawei Sweden or China that they will give me one? Gonna give it a try and see what happens.
Also my original post may have been a bit reflexive, I need to give this phone a chance. I remember thinking my last phone (Galaxy S5) was pretty stupid for a few weeks, I eventually just got over it.

Yes the camera is good quality from what I can tell and the battery life is great. But it is a huge phone, if you don't want something so big then you should probably get the 8X instead of the 8X Max.

This is my very own guide on how to download Play Store on Honor 8X: https://www.oscrunch.com/2018/11/17/google-play-store-on-honor-8x-and-8x-max/
I guess you will have to use a different version of GMS installer. Also, this process requires you to install one more application.
Try this and let me know how it goes. It should work perfectly fine.

Yes, you nailed It!
Speaking for myself, I can say that Today I'm a happy owner of a Chinese Honor 8X, but in the past I was in trouble because I was not able to find the *right* version of GSM installer that fits to me (JSN-AL00a).
It was hard to clear all those Chinese apps from my device, but now I have a very strong phone with a high level of performance.

That's my pleasure Glad that this guide has helped.
I had issue on installing Google play. Package installer block me from installing gmsinstaller.apk. what you do to get around it is thru adb. Make sure that you turn off "monitor app install by adb" in developer option or it won't work. If you need more detail let me know.

I would love more details about how you solved that please @vietzero. I am also blocked from executing the first apk (on both my 8X and 8X Max).
Cheers!

Try this
1.Tap 7-8 times on build number it will enable developers option
2.Go to developers options
3.Enable USB debugging
4.Disable Monitor apps installed by ADB
5. use adb install -r MyApp.apk
your apk will be installed.
Thanks @miststudent2011
