I am looking for the last three numbers in the latest Google Play Services release for stock 5.1.1. I jumped the gun trying a different updated version of Google Play Services to get Android Pay working and forgot to check/note the version my phone had on it before hand... I tried updating with one ending in 230 which I thought would work with our phones. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
430 for z3c

I'm wondering if there's a way to properly change my xperia Z version to an international version because mine is a china version, and has many things blocked. (Google accounts are banned in china)
I recently bought a Xperia Z in Beijing. Now I am in Moscow. I did not realize about the Google stuffs. I just thought that all Android are based on Google. However when I started to use it, I realized everything was in Chinese (I wish I could read that). Then I realize there was no Play store, no Google map, etc.
Instead there was a "PlayNow" app and "Baidu" app, which happened to have the apps Play store, Google map etc. for download. However once I tried to load them, they would crash instantly (well, Google map doesn't, but the GPS doesn't work in it. Foursquare did not function at all). All of this seems crazy because when I look around the world, people show their reviews of the phone and of COURSE they have Google map, Google app store, etc.
I've looked into unlocking my boot-loader and rooting my phone. Both things I've tried but after unlocking the boot-loader, everything was just factory restored and Super User was added, and still I couldn't do anything about Google apps. After rooting, I can not fast-boot my phone at all.
If the whole system was changed to international, then there wouldn't be any restrictions. I wish if someone could help me to solve the problem. Thank you very much.
Flash another firmware with flashtool.
You can find all stock firmwares in development section.

Has it 2 sim slots, FM and TV? :cyclops: :laugh:
Are you still in China? My work has a plan there and I know in parts of China Google does not work due to the government blocks it. I know this because when we have to go over to support the factory we can not use google there.
nahh he got the phone from someone that came from china (i know oscar) but basically he intends to use the phone in Mexico ..
i have that phone on my hands after a brick, i recently restored to factory default firmware due to a bad Update that happened after he rooted and tried to update... (i think it doesnt have any security measures for the updates :/)
so basically
i want to know how similar is to the nexus 6 and if the phone can be loaded with the normal nexus 6 frimware
or if there is away to add a good set of google apps (like on ROMS) @oscarcorreab
I have the exact same issue. I have tried everything including root techniques, installing google apk via third party to make google services work but the google play services not working pop up annoys me constantly. How does one make the moto x pro work ? I have bought this phone now I need to be able to use google play store on it.
hello guys
phone samsung s5830
android version 2.3.5
rooted
link2sd installed
a while ago my phone screen stopped working for no reason it was not even because i dropped my phone , touch screen was fine and you could see the screen lights up but nothing on the screen so i had it changed when i got my phone back i noticed that google play store was missing and also went to the apps list but could not find google play services so i just rebooted the phone and everything was back to normal then after some time the phone started to lag every like ten seconds however after a day or two of monitoring the running services i noticed that google play services ( gmscorestatsservice---indexworkerservice---checkinservice ) was constantly trying to restart but the timers would also remain the same and without getting any error message
to solve the problem i tried the following:
removing all the apps - resetting the phone - did not work
removing all the apps - unrooting - resetting the phone - did not work
rooting the device again - resetting the phone - did not work
note: the phone is almost useless because of this issue
so if anyone can give me an advice i would be so much grateful
thanks

I think that 7.8.99 is the latest version for this device (Android 2.3.6).

Wouldn't it be updated automatically again?
thread: google play services crashing without an error message
thanks for your efforts guys
but google play services are always updated automatically so is there a way i can downgrade and prevent it from updating again and how can i downgrade
to downgrade uninstall google play services and install the attached file (first you have to unzip the content).
to prevent it from updating automatically I guess it depends on how updated the application you use.

Are you positive? There's been an update out for a while now? Google Play Services has never updated automatically for me. I always get a notification saying that Google Play Services needs to be updated. To downgrade go to your phone's installed apps, find Google Play Services, and press Uninstall Updates. Try this website for updates. Read the instructions on this exact page to find the appropriate Google Play Services for your device. They are for every device, yours included. Like I said though, follow the instructions to find your exact update.

I bought the Chinese version of the tab A8, which has the model number SM-X205C. It hasn't arrived yet but it won't have any Google services installed on it. Is there a way I could sign into my Google account on it? If not, would it be possible, and advisable, for me to install a different firmware? Sammobile has various ROMs/firmwares for this tablet. Or I risk bricking it if I try that? The reason I bought it it was such a good deal: 128GB version with LTE for CNY 1000. And it's brand new!
Google account has nothing to do with Google services (GMS) : Totally different things.
Take note that Custom ROMs like Lineage OS typically don't have Google services pre-installed, nor Google account
Title says it all.
This is the country list: https://partnermarketinghub.withgoogle.com/brands/android-auto/overview/country-availability/
I think the situation was different a few years back with older versions of AA, where it was relatively easy to circumvent the restrictions and still use AA anyway on a car's head unit. But with current A12 / A13 OS plus the current versions of AA, do people still have success using AA on their head unit in countries where AA isn't officially available?
Found a solution after search through local discussion forums.
The problem actually lies with "Google Play Services" which is the one responsible for detecting where your location is, not "Android Auto". The key to working around this issue of using Android Auto in an unapproved country is to download the Google Play Services with a particular build variant. If you retrieve the version number of the currently installed Google Play Services on your phone, you will see something like "Version: xx.xx.xx (190400-xxxxxxxxx)" where the number in brackets is the "build variant". For A12, you will probably have 190400-xxxxxxxxx as your build variant, and A11 will likely have 150400-xxxxxxxxx.
The only build variants known so far that bypass country checks are 200400 for A12, and 170400 for A11. APKMirror has these build variants that you can download. Once you have replaced "google play services" with the one you have downloaded from APKMirror, you are good to go. The only question left now is - how do you prevent Google Play from auto-updating Google Play Services back to the newest and problematic version?
You can uncheck auto updates of the play store and just regularely update through 3rd party versions.
Thanks for posting!
You must be a naive to believe this, anything is available in any country.
AA isn't available in my country, but it works on my older cars.
On my new car BMW iX 2022, it doesn't work and I get an error showing "connection failed"
I posted about it here with more details:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-auto-connection-failed.4493825/
I'm going to try and find one of those google play services builds and try and hope to get it working.
Update:
Unfortunately, I couldn't get an apk to install successfully.
I tried many APKs from apkmirror that show build variant 200400, but they all give me an error "App not installed as package appears to be invalid"
