Very good question!! did you figure it out? I'm also on Harmony 2.0
To fix no internet connection you need to use a fresh PC (probably a fresh user account is the same) then when you install hisuit for the first time (Hisuite_10.1.0.550_OVE) then DO NOT open it... then do proxy, then the first time you open Hisuite will be after proxyhas been run.
.. that or your windows firewall needs to also be stopped or just uninstall your antivirus, its probably a firewall issue
Im getting a rollback failed on the device though.. these are the settings ive been using. Any recommendations??

Great instructions, not sure how I stuffed it up but I'm getting "this device is not play protect certified" just after step 3.
Then when I go back to files to install the new contact sync apk, the google play services apk does not install error "there is already a newer version of this app on your phone". So googlefier must be installing a newer google services apk than the one youre using (im using your linked files from youtube)
Same issue even if I uninstall current google pl;ay services and then install yours, also tried clearing all data on all google apps.
Any idea? I'm hoping its just the wrong apk's.
Either way thank you!

ok, let's go step by step...
1. did you downgrade back up via ADB
2. you need to delete any google staff before you start, I mean if you tried to install google before regular application you can keep, first go to settings application application, system process google, delete all google.
3. the most important to follow the video exactly, every step...
4. no worries about play protect... after you installation is finished, switch off mobile network and WiFi
go to settings app, app system process - google
google service framework delete data, force stop, next in the same place in system process delete data in google play store, force stop...
google play services delete only cash... force stop.
reboot the device, again without network connection go to the system process again only to google play services and open data delete it...
that's all.. switch on the network...

....yes, was successful
2. you need to delete any google staff before you start, I mean if you tried to install google before regular application you can keep, first go to settings application application, system process google, delete all google.
....did a factory reset
3. the most important to follow the video exactly, every step...
....I did. The "not certified" issue happened after the last step of googlefier (before contact sync step). And I think contacts were actually syncing before replacing the apk (I did it anyway), maybe its different on the x2?
4. no worries about play protect... after you installation is finished, switch off mobile network and WiFi
go to settings app, app system process - google
google service framework delete data, force stop, next in the same place in system process delete data in google play store, force stop...
google play services delete only cash... force stop.
reboot the device, again without network connection go to the system process again only to google play services and open data delete it...
that's all.. switch on the network...
....This worked! thanks! I had to go in a few circles and not use your play services APK though (googlefier must have updated their versions since your video? maybe thats why it wont install as it says a newer version is already installed).
So I can confirm it's working perfectly! besides contact sync which I can live with for now. I tried your step again for deleteing and reinstalling the contact sync apk but it doesn'tfix the issue
Thanks again Archibald!
EDIT: I originally tried using 2 accounts. The second account was a gsuite account. So I'm suspecting either the gsuite or multiple accounts was the main culprit. Your process above helped with everything

nice to see sth differently

How to forcefully uninstall an app

Hello all, after some problems with app2sd i reinstalled my apps via a simply backup of my apk files in system/sd/app.
Anyway I was unable to restore some apps, in particular those that had a .zip extension and not an .apk extension. The problem is that Market/Download controls in such situation are disabled, so i can't uninstall/reinstall nothing.
Waiting some days for the upgrade of each app, i was able to restore all apps meno one. The application is the free SunMoon (com.jw.SunMoon).
I 've tried to:
sign com.jw.SunMoon.zip to try a reinstall but adb install com.jw.SunMoon.apk returns Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
delete /system/sd/app/com.jw.SunMoon.zip
delete the directory /data/data/com.jw.SunMoon
edit /data/system/packages.xml removing all entry for com.jw.SunMoon
But nothing changed, i'm unable to reinstall SunMoon via Market so far.
Any ideas????
adb uninstall?
Delete the apps you having problems with, then reinstall them. You can use SUFB app from the market or rootexplorer also from the market...
You are the forth person I've seen posting about this

I already delete manually app, dex, odex, data app and any pointers in /data/system/packages.xml.
Anyway the Market app continues to be blocked, i can't uninstall, install or reinstall SunMoon. The only one thing that unblock the market app is an application upgrade, so i can push the upgrade button and install a new copy.
I don't know how to eventually use the com.jw.SunMoon.zip i backupped from /system/sd/app, android tell me it's unsigned (Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]), but trying to sign and install, will return Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT] .
What rom are you running ???/
If its enomther's rom you need to delete the app from the expstick in system/sd <>>> Cause in additon to the system/sd/app he has system/sd/expstick/app also (I think its part of his VM system ) thats all i can think of ....

How about removing the .dex file from your /data/dalvik-cache directory?
Also check your /data/app-private out.

The app do not installs in /app-private (/data/app-private; /system/sd/app-private) , I'm sure.
Anyone know if i forgot some configurations file to edit?
Anyone knows if the problem is on the market server?
Why some apps installs like a .zip file?
I'm having this exact same issue, and it's happened to me every time I use Backup for Root Users. If I restore just the APKs, nothing ending in .zip gets restored. If I also restore the Market db (so I can get updates), I get the same thing you got, with disabled Open and Uninstall buttons in the Market. I know I have no references to any of the apps anywheres. Specifically, I'm trying to restore Twidgit Lite. Anybody have any answers?
Just in case anyone's curious, I fixed the problem. Copy /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db to my computer, then open it with a sqlite client. Search in the assets10 table for the row where package_name matches one of the previously mentioned problem applications, then update the row by changing the state field to 'UNINSTALLED'. Push the assets.db file back to its original location, and either reboot or force close the Market app (using Taskiller or what have you). When you reopen Market, the problem apps will now allow installation.

Thx man! Very useful, sometimes private apps bring a lot of problems.
hold on, i was about to make a thread asking how to uninstall apps like amazon mp3 or the stock calculator. Is this how you do it or is there an easier method?
No, the stock apps are in /system/app, just delete the apk and your set.

issues with this HTC Desire since I rooted it. Could use any help!

Hello, my name is Rob and I'm new to XDA but I've used your forums before to help me root my Coolpad and this new phone (kudos)
So I bought this phone a little over a month ago and I've been super severely disappointed in it.
I'll just start off quickly by telling you a little behind my purchase...
I needed to upgrade from the Coolpad 3G that I had been using for months with Sprint's pre-paid and I was planning on getting a Samsung Galaxy.
Well they had to run my credit and I couldn't put down the $200+ deposit they wanted for the S5. So the guy brought up this HTC Desire that was on sale for $99.99 or whatever, without and research or anything I went ahead and bought it because I desperately needed a new phone with 4G capability for my new job... the sales guy sold me on it having 8 GB internal storage (Which was a huge lie... thanks, man), 1 GB of RAM, a solid quadcore processor and a decent camera.
I immediately got home and realized that there was only barely 1 Gigabyte of free storage and I about threw a fit but I knew I needed the phone so I kept it and I took the next step, (Rooting it so I could install and run link2SD)
So I went through the long, tedious process of rooting my phone and putting TWRP, superuser, etc. on it and got my link2SD going.
The day after I finished rooting my phone these errors started popping up and telling me that I had an update I needed to install and download:
(I guess I can't post the pictures I want to post on here until I make 10 posts? so I uploaded screencaps all to this directory)
http :// skakills.com /HTC/
It made it so I can't even use my Gmail or my hangouts app on the phone (Gmail being the most important) this is seriously distressing.
also , this update pops up every few hours and I have tried to install it but it just bounces me back to the recovery TWRP screen and I can't seem to figure it out.
I work a double shift at work every day, I play in 2 bands and I've scoured the internet, forums and lost tons of sleep over this, I just want to be able to use this phone for a few more months without these issues, if anyone has any kind of idea what I can do to fix the errors and get my updates installed or if there is a better option (I'm okay with wiping / resetting since my apps and pictures are all backed up) let me know ASAP, please and thank you very much!
-Rob

Download an app killer/disabler of your choice (I use Titanium Backup but it's the paid version) after you install it look through all the apps on your phone and find this one "updater" and freeze/disable it and then reboot the updating will stop and the reason you can't install it is because the phone is no longer stock and you unlocked the bootloader.
Regarding the play store problem open internet and search for the latest version of play store and then download the version via internet by searching for the version to download like this Google Play version 5.8.8 APK Download and after downloading the APK install it and reboot into twrp and clear the dalvic cache and cache reboot and the problem should be gone.

I really appreciate the help as far as that update thing goes.
I guess I didn't explain the part with the GMail and the hangout apps.. it is only those apps that are affected, I guess I will try uninstalling the gmail and hangout apps again because I try to launch them but it gives the "Unknown issue with Google Play Services" error and then force closes.
Also every once in a while it is giving me a weird 'Google Music' error .
I will try to freeze that update thing with Titanium backup (I have the full version I got on my old phone I just haven't installed it on here yet)
Once again, thanks a lot I really appreciate the quick response and I hope to check more of the forums out soon.

Well if you fix the Google play store error you'll be able to update your Gmail and Hangouts apps.. I fixed them before by first fixing the play store problem. Go into twrp and select wipe and choose cache and dalvic because it will help.

Okay so I froze the 'Updater' app, rebooted and I think that it has stopped which is good.
I still am getting this Google Play Services Error every few minutes, I downloaded the Google Play .apk , installed it, rebooted into recovery and cleared the dalv and regular cache but I'm still seeing this error come up... I even tried to disable Google Play Services notifications and just accept that it won't ever go away but it is still happening. I'm still not sure of the actual cause of these errors, at least I can use GMail and Hangouts now because I just restored the factory versions.

If I were you, I'd download the entire gapps package (google apps) it's between 150 and 250MB in size and it's a zip so you can install it via recovery I'm pretty sure your problem will go away if you get the updated gapps for your phone.

Yes there is a site but no entire Google apps package is an apk it's in zip format and all you need to do is download it to your sd card and then boot into recovery and tap install then navigate to wherever you saved the download to and tap to select it for installation and after the install go back to the home page and select wipe and then on the next window select dalvic and cache then swipe the bottom to wipe them both and then reboot and you should be good to go.. Here's the package
In this package you will find the core Google system base, off-line speech files, Google Play Store, FaceUnlock, Google Bookmarks Sync, and the following Play Store applications:
Google + | Google Calendar (replaces stock/AOSP Calendar) | Google Now Launcher | Google Play services | Google Search | Google Text-to-Speech | Gmail | Hangouts | Maps | Street View on Google Maps | YouTube

What rom and kernel do you happen to be using? Try this too though tap settings then apps and look for the Play Store and tap into it and then force close it and then scroll down and delete the data and when it says all user accounts will be deleted or whatever just say yes and then go back to your home and reopen the Play Store and try to use it again after it logs your account back in.
Edit: Do you see Google play services in your app list? Uninstall the update if it says to uninstall update on it and then update it again then try to use stuff.

I feel like maybe something got screwed up when I was rooting and using this custom kernel, I wouldn't mind wiping this phone and trying again from the start but going through the backup and restoring process will be a pain.

I feel like maybe something got screwed up when I was rooting and using this custom kernel, I wouldn't mind wiping this phone and trying again from the start but going through the backup and restoring process will be a pain. Everything is painful, lol. I just want to be able to use my apps like normal

You should try pattiboi new kernel that he put up yesterday because it's pretty smooth running and my phone is much better than it was before.. Did you uninstall updates to the Play services and try to update it again?
Edit:
Do you have titanium backup? If so I need you to download this version of Google play services and install it but first use titanium backup to fully uninstall the Google play services that's on your phone.. Here's the link for the Google play services version 8.1.15 make sure you don't tap the one that says get it on Google play store because obviously you can't use the Play Store so tap the one next to it, it looks like this "d Download" after you downloaded it install it and reboot your phone...

yes I have Titanium backup. I'll try this new kernel, yeah I tried to uninstall updates for Play services but there wasn't even an option for it.
I'll download this and run that in titanium before installing

You should try fixing your problem before going to the other kernel.
All you need to do is delete Google play services in Titanium Backup and then download the one I gave you and install and then reboot.

I managed to get GMS running (10.1.0.136) (no USB-Pendrive)

So after hours and hours of following loads of different Guides on YouTube I finally managed to get GMS to fully work again.
I followed his Guide, for the most part, but did some things different.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxqEZMX6Kl8&t=37s
[EDIT: Set your system language to english after resetting your phone, until you (hopefully) got GMS running]
(1) As soon as i reset my device I opened AppGallery, went to settings and froze automatic App-Updates.
(2) After that I uninstalled the Backup App by going into Settings > Apps > Apps > (search for Backup and show system apps) > uninstall
(3) Instead of getting the Purple G App via a USB Pendrive I got it by restoring a (different) backup with hisuite.
(4) Instead of grabbing the files from a pendrive I had them on my internal storage
(5) After getting the PlayStore to work for the very first time (video timestamp 04:59) I installed alot of apps (important!)
Other than that I followed his guide exactly.
*(3) Get the latest version of HiSuite on your computer.
Unpack Backup file for Hisuite.rar. Put the folder inside of it into documents / HiSuite / backup.
Connect your device to your computer via USB Cable. Choose "transfer files" on your phone.
Go into your phones' settings, search for "HDB" and allow HiSuite to use HDB. (HiSuite will now be installed on your phone)
Open it and give it all the permissions that it needs.
On your computer, enter the Code that the Hisuite App shows on your phone.
Hit restore.
HiSuite will try to install the Backup App that we uninstalled before. It's gonna tell you that the installation failed, just ignore it and try to restore the Backup again.
(Backup File for Hisuite.rar): http://www.mediafire.com/file/a7wbsq1hjkz7vnr/Backup_file_for_Hisuite.rar/file
*(5) List of apps that I installed at that point:
Chrome
Google
Google One
Assistant
Drive
Keep Notes
Home
Street View
YouTube
Maps
Gmail
Whatsapp
Play Games
Facebook
Let me know if this worked for you ^^

Do you get gmail notifications? I don't get it and I have got everything else working fine.
Did you get any notifications in general?

They *did* work for a little while after installing GMS, now they don't show up anymore.
I will try to find a workaround ^^

Whatsapp seems to work fine as of now.
Im trying to find a solution for other apps, wish me luck
The only way to have push service notification working is to icebox google framework. In that way u'll have notifications and you can even add how many gmail accounts you want. At the price of Google Play Store, you have to use Aurora Store or defroze google framework when you need it

How to Install Google Play Services on Huawei Mate 40/ RS Series

Greetings,
I have put together a proper tutorial for you all who need it on how to get Google Play Services on the Mate 40 series!
This is confirmed to work on the Chinese versions / the Mate 40 RS Porsche which is a china exclusive device as well. It's possible it could work on International models but I do not have one to test so that will be up to you here. Nonetheless let's begin the tutorial shall we?
Make sure there are no google apps installed prior to this tutorial. This is crucial! This includes Chrome.
Google won't let me share a link to the google apps so look up John Wang on youtube and you should be able to find the GMS install with his download link on the video.
Next: extract the Huawei.zip file in step 1 folder to the root of your internal storage it should ask you to merge with an existing folder please do so. If it does not, just proceed to copy it to the root of the internal storage.
You will then need to go into your system settings, and change your date& Time to say June 1st of 2020, a necessary step to get the LZ Play app (The Blue G) working again.
Once this is done, go to your settings on your Huawei device, where the search bar is, type Backup and select the second option Backup & Restore.
Tap the 3 dots at the top right corner of the screen and select Restore from Internal Storage.
From here, you should have one backup option to select from December 6, 2019 1:09 PM.
Enter the password a12345678
Next, open the LZ Play app installed now from the backup, activate it as administrator, allow anything it asks, and then press the blue button to get it working, leave it run in the background so do not close it.
Now at this point, please set your system date and time back to Set Automatically again.
Next, restart your phone.
Go to your file browser on your Huawei phone, the yellow folder, and install Micro G app in the step 2 folder.
Now, go to your settings, Users& Accounts
Then Add Account
Then Google
Then Sign In (if it closes out do it again)
At this point type in your google account information username and password.
Click on I agree when you get to the end part of adding your google account.
Now install the Google apps under Step 3
Install 3.apk first which is Google Play Store
Install Google Service Framework 7.apk
Install Google Account Manager 6.apk
Open Google Play Store
Uninstall Micro G
Install Google Play Services apk 3.apk
Close out of Google Play Store, re open, and keep hitting retry until the play store loads up. If it does not load up after significant amount of retries, simply reboot device and open Google Play Store again and hit refresh until it loads.
We are almost done! Now we are going to fix the Google Play Protect Not Certified Error next
Put your device into Airplane mode so no data is being used during this step otherwise it won't work!
Open Apps under your settings, and tap the 3 dots, show system processes.
Type Google
Open Google Service Framework, select storage, clear data, then go back one and force stop it
Open Google Play Store, force stop.
Open Google Play Services, just clear cache (NOT DATA)
Restart Phone
Go back to settings and Apps, tap the 3 dots, show system processes.
Type Google
Select Google Play Services. Clear cache. Then Clear All Data under Manage Storage Force stop it.
Restart Phone once more.
Turn off Airplane Mode. / Turn your internet back on
Open Google Play Store and you should be all set, no Not Google Play Certified Error or anything bad. You should be able to use Gmail, Youtube etc. You may not be able to use Google Pay as I have not tested it but believe it does not work.
Any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out.!
Ca you please provide another link for the download..
I am getting this error... seems someone is not happy
We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms and Conditions.
Thanks for the guide, I have an international version of the mate 40 which I want to try this with.
When following another guide, I uninstalled the backup app to install another version but it fails and says 'you already have a newer version of this app'. When going to my apps, there's no backup app installed and nothing comes up in HiSearch. When I go to backup and restore in settings, the screen is blank.
I've tried installing other versions of the backup app from my mate 20 but it comes up with the same version message.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I have downloaded a copy of the downloads from another site.
I have an international version of the Mate 40 Pro (NOH-NX9)
I tried the steps above, some are a bit different like Back/Restore option. I have copied the backup file to the repository on an external USB drive where usually restore files are backed up and its showing when I try to restore it.
It does restore LZ Play app (The Blue G) , but does not load when executing saying (This device is not currently supported).. of course in Chinese language. From there I can't go any further.
I'd love to try an international version, but the file is no longer available: "We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms of Service."
Google doesn't like our attempts, please use some independent sharing space.
(wrong entry, I would delete it, sorry)
I have the same phone and the same issues. Would be really hulpfull if there was a fix. I tried all the guides (also the one above) and I'm always stuck on the "blue G" application that won't run properly...
There is no fix.
Wow really google is saying my upload violates terms and conditions? Lame. I know it works for sure on Chinese variants I don't have an International one to test on. Makes me wonder if Huawei is purposely leaving this exploit open on the Chinese models?

At least for me, I didn't have to switch to a different backup app, I just used the one that came with my phone and it worked.
Seems google won't let me upload it for some reason again. Look up John Wang Huawei on youtube, his download should still work.

Same thing, My international version NOH-NX9 is also stuck by the LZPLAY not supporting the device.

中国版都可以使用 国际版不能用 我用的是国际版我的显示“谷歌服务助手不支持” 我朋友的是中国版本 他们的都可以!这是因为华为面对美国的制裁!不想让国际版的手机有不安全因素 所以国际版没有了BUG!中国版有 因为在中国使用 没人关注中国国内
The Chinese version can be used. The international version cannot be used. I am using the international version. My display is "Google Service Assistant does not support". My friend’s is the Chinese version. They are all available! This is because Huawei faces US sanctions! I don’t want the international version of the mobile phone to be insecure, so the international version has no BUG! There is a Chinese version because it is used in China and no one pays attention to in China phone.

Thx for the info, Huawei really need to prioritise fetching localised Apps (Bank App, Credit card App etc.) to feed App Gallery. I'm holding my trigger of Mate40 Pro until the availability of localised Apps or when GMS side loadable.

you're welcome !Yes! This is
because Huawei cannot use GMS because of US sanctions! So huawei developed himself HMS, so huawei loyal users will feel very bad! sort time no app to use !This requires a process and more developers join Harmony2.0! There are more mobile apps if the ecology is improved! Don't worry, I believe it will be soon!
As of the latest EMUI it is now impossible to use this method. I'm not sure if it still works prior to the recent firmware update but it completely broke google services for me. So looks like aurora and Amazon app store for me again ugh lol

Add google app to Lineage on G7 Plus

So I flashed my G7 Plus with the latest Lineage, 17.1 I think with no GAPPS. Great ! The only thing I don't have is speech to text so to get this I have to install the Google App. Tried a few of the latest version which I downloaded from apkpure.com becaue not a fan of the playstore. I keep getting an error saying "Google keeps stopping". and it does ! I've cleared caches and all that, but it just seems I'm probably missing some other required package or that it wants some permissions I haven't granted but I have granted all the network perms temporarily as well as mic and storage access. Still get the error. Has anyone else come acrsoss this and know how to solve it ? Or maybe you have to log in to a google account at least once before it will work ?
I'm no expert but could it be that you need google play services to run an app like that?
If that's the case, I guess I'll do without voice to txt. The whole idea here is to keep google spying off my phone.
Use a rom that has google installed and do a back up of the google apps u want to bring to los17 with an app called migrate.... After u install the los17 flash the migrate back up...it will delete the GSF file from the google apps so they can run without google play services

You need the Google play services. And if you want it to work, flash gapps
