Hey guys,
i have Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F (INS) (Non-Rooted)
i have seen newer Updates of Samsung system apps like touchwiz, phone, soundalive, gallery, and many more newer version apps in ApkMirror.com but when i download the newer version and try to install. it fails to install. it tells "app did not install"
1) tried the secure setup On and Off and it did not work for me in installing apk (failed)
2) tried OEM unlock and tried Adb debugger enabled and tried installing from Adb terminal pc (failed)
3) tried in safe mode also (failed)
4) tried uninstalling updates and installing newer direct downloaded from apk mirror (failed)
i simply could not install any newer version apps also in this note 8 could some one please find a solution for this as even these Samsung galaxy store and play store has too old versions of apk which i felt the rom is quite slow. if Apkmirror tells "there is no mod done to the apk and signatures are pure Samsung". then why the note 8 is not installing it.
Please dont tell me to root and do the copy paste and permission work (this process i know and i dont want to root my device at any cost)
Please someone find the solution for this problem without Root option its a really need to solve this problem for most of them (including me)
I FOUND TEMP SOLUTION FOR IT

Just wait till an official update comes along! It doesn't take long!

Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Unknown sources turned on? You shouldn't need any of the other things you've tried to sideload an app.
Also interested in this, there is a few updates on Apkmirror that I would love to update to, but I get the error "App not installed"
I usually only get that error if a previous version is installed. Have to uninstall the previous version then install the version you want. Updating an app by trying to install tge newer one often does not work unless updating from the Google or Samsung store.
Just wait for the official update. The one from apk mirror should be extracted from S8 android Oreo beta, hence apps not installed on note 8 (Nougat)
I was just hoping to get feature updates a bit earlier, since my carrier is horrible with updates. No worries though, thanks for the info.

Have you tried to install via adb?
Try going to settings, apps, click on the app you're trying to update, click upper right 3 dots, uninstall updates, then try to installing the new .apk.
This is the same problem as I described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3701934
ADB will not work!
Installing after removing earlier updates won't!
This has nothing to do with the APK source! (and @Bandito: not all apks there are from oreo, lol. they are pure minority...)
Our Problem is a Samsung-wanted security mechanism to prevent manual updates for some Samsung apps, mainly system apps!
On S8 it worked to change device secure startup from one setting to the other, reboot, and then as long as you do not reboot again, you could update these apps with the apks from apk-mirror!
for note8 no such workaround is known, at least not for what I know...

Interesting.. Because I thought it was my "newness" to using apk updater.. I'm glad it's not just me, as I thought that was very odd also.. And like the rest of you all, I see tons of updated app on there that won't install..

I have exactly the same problem here. APK of any Samsung system app refuses to install. However, Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Themes are able to be updated using latest .apk files from www.apkmirror.com, so give it a try! Installing via ADB returns this error:
HTML:
Failed to install app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_BY_BUILDTYPE_BY_SECURITY_POLICY]
Searching this error on Google returns no useful results, so this definitely needs more attention. I also do not understand why the "About" section of each Samsung system app claims that "The latest version is already installed" when there is obviously a newer version available.

Hi all,
I had a similar problem. I was wanted to install a newer version of memo app on j510f with android 7.1.1 because after flashing new xsg rom it's missed its bidirectional writing ability (on android 6.0.1 it was starting from left side while typing english and was starting from right side while typing persian or arabic, automatically).
well, my solution:
first, i did what amit.a said in this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74589925&postcount=11
I'm not spamming keep reading
after installing it i used app2sd app to convert it to system app. then i restarted the device and finish!
after restarting, if app icon changed to android logo, reinstall it using amit.a's method.
i even installed samsung note with this way, but totally it didn't work on my device and stopped working
at the end, i really appreciate if someone send me the original memo app from j510f with android 6.0.1. hope it work on android 7 as was working on android 6.
Any more progress with this?
i am using stock china stable rom. i have install google apps but it say my device is not certified. because of this my home country's banking is not working. i know there is a way to make device certified using root access but for that i have to unlock the boat loader and then root the device. If i unlock the boat loader then i won't be able to use my Chinese bank apps.
So my question; is there any way to get the device certified without root access?
if you're talking about the google play protect certification - visible in play store settings:
uninstall google play store updates, clear all app data then start play store again and let it update again.

I didn't think you could get 'China' Google/Play Store certification due to Google not used in China and not included with the ROM? China ROMs have to install Google services and apps separately and disable the Chinese replacements.
I was assuming he had play protect certification prior to this but you might be right.
I randomly lost it on xiaomi.eu rom which is built from China sources and the above steps plus uninstalling/reinstalling magisk fixed it for me

The custom rom multi-MIUI.eu is a whole other animal. They developers give you google built-in out of the box, and is based on the China sources. The original STOCK China MIUI ROM doesn't come with Google.

Just use the Magisk module : MagiskHide Props Config
It works flawlessly
Steps:
Install Module
Install Termus
Reboot to system
Open Termus
Type Su > Press enter
Type : props > Press enter
Follow the onscreen instructions to change the key to a one that passes safety net ( For example, choose Xiaomi > Mi 8 > finished > you are welcome.

hi I have redmi 9t eea FIRMWARE but it indicate me the device is not google play certified how to remede this issue ? device note rooted , bootloader unlocked
Hi. After a quick search i couldn't find specific answers to my questions so i thought i'll ask here. Note that i'm not interested in flashing any other ROM on it, i want to keep it locked bootloader, on china rom only.
As i have seen on various YT videos, once i get the phone china ROM with locked bootloader, i need to install play store from the xiaomi app store. I see many people get random errors when they try to install, "can't downgrade apps".
1. I've seen workarounds to restore phone to factory settings or clearing something in settings and retrying. Can this just stop working one day?
2. Once i've installed play store, will the device be play store certified?
3. Say i update system software to MIUI 11, can play store just bug out, making me factory reset phone and redo the process again?
4. Will play store auto update itself, or can i update it from play store settings?
5. Will NFC work on china rom locked bootlader in Europe? Moreover, will banking apps allow me to install their apps, considering device may not be play store certified or just not compatible with china rom?
Thank you all for reading.

if unsure better to ask seller to install playstore for you before purchasing the phone , mine came with playstore preinstall , yes its certified , mpt yet received miui 11 update yet , cant advise , i think mine playstore was self updated , i have not used the nfc feature yet .
1. I've seen workarounds to restore phone to factory settings or clearing something in settings and retrying. Can this just stop working one day?
If you reset your phone, it will also delete playstore and googleplay and services apps.
2. Once i've installed play store, will the device be play store certified?
I hope so, if it isn't certified then you have to register your phone to google (Playstore) for certification. https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ More here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-fix-device-not-certified-by-google-error/
3. Say i update system software to MIUI 11, can play store just bug out, making me factory reset phone and redo the process again?
Yes, afaik you will have to install Playstore and other googleplay supporting apps again after OS updates.
4. Will play store auto update itself, or can i update it from play store settings?
Yes, it will auto update.
5. Will NFC work ...
Yes.
I'm haven't Unlock or root my device yet, so currently on locked Bootloader and the latest Official Stable China Rom. I've sideloaded Google Apps but Play Store showing "Play Protect" Device is not certified. I can still download apps from Google Play Store but can't seem to get Google Pay (I can't add my debit card, it say my device may be rooted or unsecured) & some other apps to work properly, it kept saying my device isn't secured. Is there anyway around it without unlocking and rooting my device?

Yup, I tried it, but it still doesn't work. It's alright, I went ahead and got the Mi 9T Pro instead.
Just to confirm success, I have P40 Pro updated to latest firmware 11.0.0.223 and working GMS. For half of the day now, installing everything I want.
First i did FW downgrade to 10.1.0.131 and applying lzplay manually (you can use Goglefier, same result) using this great guide
Then used OTA updates to get phone to latest available FW which was I think 11.0.0.198. Then used official HiSuite to apply three more updates to end with 11.0.0.223
Then I followed this latest guide to fix GMS. I did one additional trick - disabling internet during whole process. What I learned during first try is that when you apply fixes (mainly downgrading GMS), phone sometimes manages to uprate these back. Because Play Store is by default set to update automatically. And it messes whole proces leaving you with idea that it doesnt work. It works fine, you just need to have correct versions of GMS modules.
After finishing with video guide, I enabled internet for brief moment to load Play store. As soon as it is loaded just disable internet again. Go to settings of Play Store and in Settings > Network Preferences set Auto-update apps to Dont auto-update apps. Which hopefully stops GMS updates in background. And keeps them running till Google finds out and makes updates enforced in next version regardless of auto-update settings...
UPDATE after week of using phone: GMS hacked in phone worked, but notifications coming through Google push services did not. I tried few available solutions but none of these did the job. At the end I used Ilham solution provided by Badmania98 in his thread. And it is working for over week now without any glitches. Notifications coming through. There are some minor issues like Gmain dark mode not working, but nothing gamebreaking. Cheers to Badmania98 for his help!
UPDATE2 Tried to downgrade through Hisuite proxy, using 10.0.1.100_OVE and it keeps failing after download. Says just Update failed. I hope that I identified properly my phone according to guide
Base sw ver ELS-LGRP4-OVS 11.0.0.223
Preload sw ver ELS-N29-PRELOAD 11.0.0.3(C432R5)
Cust software (C432)
Tried to downgrade to
Emui 10 .131 - fails without downloading
Emui 11 .151, .168, .186 - fails after download just by msg Update failed
Is Hisuite 10.0.1.100_OVE version enough to process Emui 11 firmwares?
UPDATE3 So Hisuite 10.0.1.100_OVE cant downgrade to Emui 10 from 11 according to this post by author of Hisuite Proxy. By using latest version of Proxy from author website and by selecting fw 11.0.0.151 I got it working and downgrading from .223 to .151 - now I hope it will be possible to go down to Emui 10 by official Hisuite.
Slowly progressing back to beginning
UPDATE4 sooo after successfully flashing with recommended HiSuite 10.1.0.550 and latest Proxy to fw 11.0.0.151 I ended up in eRecovery mode automatically downloading 11.0.0.202 through wifi. Hope it will work else I have softbricked phone...
Same issue for me too, spend my whole sunday to find a way but nothing works it seems…
Contact @badmania98.
UPDATE5 WiFi eRecovery worked like charm upgrading to .208
Seems that using latest proxy and hisuite to downgrade should work, confirmed by ProfessorJTJ. I just forgot to set proxy to rollback os option. It should be enough to "Wipe cache & data from erecovery" to boot .151
Trying again with downloaded .168 - too lazy to wait again for .151 to download (it got deleted by hisuite after update). We will see... and it worked fine. Selecting rollback os option added factory reset after installation and phone booted .168 just fine.

Don't worry this has nothing to do with your system update, this is something else. This is a new security check added by Google in their fight against unofficial GMS installations. It would have happened even if you didn't update your system. Actually it is happening to EMUI10 users too so....

Any tips on working guide?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Guys, you are doing it totally wrong. There is NO NEED TO DOWNGRADE your system software if you already have GMS installed. This has nothing to do with your system software version and you don't actually have to re-trigger the GMS installation (rights elevation/lzplay) exploit.
You just need to fix your Play certificate to stop those annoying play protect messages.
Yes, they added additional verifications. Yes, that was probably targeted against this hack, among others.
What you need is simply to download this pack:
Install Google Play Store by ICTFIX.net
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
www.mediafire.com
And then uninstall Google Play Services
then install this one: 7-GSM Play Protect certified Fix.apk
Then reboot
And the spam notifications should be gone.
Replacing Google Play Services with this app will force-regenerate your Play certificate,
and this version of Google Play Services does not have the problematic check in question.
Still you should NOT update Google Play Services as the latest version DOES have the check that will trigger this event again.
You do NOT NEED to install anything else from this pack.
Actually you could reupload this with only this file present.

UPDATE Hisuite is now missing option to go down to emui 10. Direct OTG update to 10.x doesnt work either, firmware is not accepted. Interesting...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, it is missing that option. It is not supported anymore, and if you force it, you WILL HAVE PROBLEMS.
If you REALLY want to downgrade you can use HiSuiteProxy and an older version of HiSuite. However I don't recommend this for 3 reasons:
- it is unneccessary
- it is dangerous. You WILL lose USB connectivity after the upgrade, and you can only regain it when you update again to the latest system software version. And you can only do it with OTA.
- You can very easily brick your phone if you use HiSuiteProxy as it bypasses many of the firmware validation checks
+1 Huawei is changing things around with the latest HiSuite. Older versions will not work for software updates/downgrades for much longer.

Of course it keeps failing. 10.0.1.100 is NOT USABLE anymore. Bender007 is too lazy to update it in his guide. You need a different version 10.0.1.550 (grab it here https://github.com/ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy/releases/download/2.3.5/Hisuite_10.1.0.550_OVE.zip ) this one works for HiSuiteProxy and EMUI 11 tested up to 11.0.0.203.
However I would highly recommend AGAINST downgrading as it is dangerous and completely unneccessary if you already have GMS installed. It doesn't matter if you have the play protect error message or not, you can fix that without downgrading. There is only one case when you need to downgrade and that is if you don't have google apps installed at all.

You messed it up. YOu should have gone directly to EMUI 10 using proxy. 11.0.0.151 is not suitable for downgrades, it is not a rollbackable firmware. Now your only option is for eRecovery to fix it for you as you wouldn't have USB anyway. So you go to the latest version of EMUI 11 and THEN directly go down to EMUI 10, 10.1.0.121.

You will if you keep jumping corners. Don't try to experiment, this is dangerous enough already.
Once again, if you have Google apps installed already, then it is absolutely UNNECCESSARY TO DOWNGRADE YOUR SYSTEM SOFTWARE. You can fix play protect errors very easily by just replacing an app on your phone. Why you guys would want to go through the whole downgrade process all over again is something I don't get. But, whatever you prefer
Thanks for great explanation, hands down! Meanwhile I managed to directly downgrade phone to 10.1.0.131 and lzplay it and now going up through fw updates. Next time I will focus directly on fixing GMS, geting bit more experienced with this every step
You're welcome! Enjoy the experience and remember: keep it calm!
YOu can fix almost ALL issues that can arise with GMS without ever downgrading again. This is because the only thing you really need the downgrade for is to enable elevated privileges for the google apps (this is what that weird lzplay app does) and you only need to do that once.
The only thing you shouldn't do is a factory data reset as it would obviously wipe away these permissions too, in which case you would have to do a downgrade, but not in any other case.
Play protect certificates keep getting invalidated from time to time, because Google is stepping up their mechanism. But see, the scene already has fixes for it. And in this case you just need to replace an app.
Of course now, that you're doing a full downgrade+upgrade, and doing all the Googlefier stuff again, make double sure that you launched LZPLAY app as soon as it was installed as you can only do that on old versions of EMUI10. Once lzplay is loaded and given the special permissions it asks for, and googlefier having completed all of its steps, you're good to update
But don't ever update Google Play Services as that seems to be what is breaking the Google Play certificates, causing the error messages. If you did update it anyway, you can use 7-GSM Play Protect certified Fix.apk from this pack link to fix it.
First uninstall Google Play Services then install this replacement app.
Just to confirm success, I have P40 Pro updated to latest firmware 11.0.0.223 and working GMS. For half of the day now, installing everything I want.
First i did FW downgrade to 10.1.0.131 and applying lzplay manually (you can use Goglefier, same result) using this great guide
Then used OTA updates to get phone to latest available FW which was I think 11.0.0.198. Then used official HiSuite to apply three more updates to end with 11.0.0.223
Then I followed this latest guide to fix GMS. I did one additional trick - disabling internet during whole process. What I learned during first try is that when you apply fixes (mainly downgrading GMS), phone sometimes manages to uprate these back. Because Play Store is by default set to update automatically. And it messes whole proces leaving you with idea that it doesnt work. It works fine, you just need to have correct versions of GMS modules.
After finishing with video guide, I enabled internet for brief moment to load Play store. As soon as it is loaded just disable internet again. Go to settings of Play Store and in Settings > Network Preferences set Auto-update apps to Dont auto-update apps. Which hopefully stops GMS updates in background. And keeps them running till Google finds out and makes updates enforced in next version regardless of auto-update settings...
UPDATE after week of using phone: GMS hacked in phone worked, but notifications coming through Google push services did not. I tried few available solutions but none of these did the job. At the end I used Ilham solution provided by Badmania98 in his thread. And it is working for over week now without any glitches. Notifications coming through. There are some minor issues like Gmain dark mode not working, but nothing gamebreaking. Cheers to Badmania98 for his help!

You just need to fix your Play certificate to stop those annoying play protect messages.
Yes, they added additional verifications. Yes, that was probably targeted against this hack, among others.
What you need is simply to download this pack:
Install Google Play Store by ICTFIX.net
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
www.mediafire.com
And then uninstall Google Play Services
then install this one: 7-GSM Play Protect certified Fix.apk
Then reboot
And the spam notifications should be gone.
Replacing Google Play Services with this app will force-regenerate your Play certificate,
and this version of Google Play Services does not have the problematic check in question.
Still you should NOT update Google Play Services as the latest version DOES have the check that will trigger this event again.
You do NOT NEED to install anything else from this pack.
Actually you could reupload this with only this file present.
Yes, it is missing that option. It is not supported anymore, and if you force it, you WILL HAVE PROBLEMS.
If you REALLY want to downgrade you can use HiSuiteProxy and an older version of HiSuite. However I don't recommend this for 3 reasons:
- it is unneccessary
- it is dangerous. You WILL lose USB connectivity after the upgrade, and you can only regain it when you update again to the latest system software version. And you can only do it with OTA.
- You can very easily brick your phone if you use HiSuiteProxy as it bypasses many of the firmware validation checks
+1 Huawei is changing things around with the latest HiSuite. Older versions will not work for software updates/downgrades for much longer.

I got this error device not Play Store Licensed/Approved...
This fixed my issue on p40 pro, els-n29 c432r5, emui 11.0.150
Thank you!
Found out more stuff now. Unfortunately run into problem with not working push notifications - at least some of them. Gmail is not syncing at all, I have to manually pull down to get new emails. And so it wont show notifications for new emails. But for example Messenger Lite sometimes works. Sometimes not.
Tried first push notification fix option from this post - with ADB commands. And ended up with no GSF ID, so Play store stop working and I had to go again through this latest guide to fix GMS. No idea why I didnt get new GSF ID after restart, but tried few times and still same result.
Dont want to try second option with freezing GSF as I would like to have working Play store.
Thinking about payed third

Of course it keeps failing. 10.0.1.100 is NOT USABLE anymore. Bender007 is too lazy to update it in his guide. You need a different version 10.0.1.550 (grab it here https://github.com/ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy/releases/download/2.3.5/Hisuite_10.1.0.550_OVE.zip ) this one works for HiSuiteProxy and EMUI 11 tested up to 11.0.0.203.
However I would highly recommend AGAINST downgrading as it is dangerous and completely unneccessary if you already have GMS installed. It doesn't matter if you have the play protect error message or not, you can fix that without downgrading. There is only one case when you need to downgrade and that is if you don't have google apps installed at all.
My version info , The config I needed . Your phone model and build is identical to me. Preload (R4/R5/R6) does not matter, as it only differs in preinstalled apps. You can use the packs from huaweifirmware that I have in the pictures.
Go with 10.1.0.121 , select the combination I have above, and most of all: use 10.0.1.550 for it.
No. You need 10.0.1.550 for downgrades.
You can do it but you won't have USB.
You messed it up. YOu should have gone directly to EMUI 10 using proxy. 11.0.0.151 is not suitable for downgrades, it is not a rollbackable firmware. Now your only option is for eRecovery to fix it for you as you wouldn't have USB anyway. So you go to the latest version of EMUI 11 and THEN directly go down to EMUI 10, 10.1.0.121.
You will if you keep jumping corners. Don't try to experiment, this is dangerous enough already.
Once again, if you have Google apps installed already, then it is absolutely UNNECCESSARY TO DOWNGRADE YOUR SYSTEM SOFTWARE. You can fix play protect errors very easily by just replacing an app on your phone. Why you guys would want to go through the whole downgrade process all over again is something I don't get. But, whatever you prefer

Thanks for detailed instructions but here’s the deal. I have a p40 pro with EMUI 11.0.0.202 loaded onboard. It’s been factory reseted. I need to downgrade to install gms on this device but could’nt downgrade with hisuite proxy. I used latest version mentioned above and use Hisuit 10.0.1.550, 11.0.0.151 and even latest version but it keeps downloading but on the phone when it starts verifying update and installing it stops and enter erevocery mode.
I am doing exactly as you mentioned and searched for several threads, but nothing helped.
What should I do now?
Thanks for support
Use this guide
worked like charm, directly from latest emui 11 to 10.1.0.131

GMail real-time notifications and sync will not work, no matter what you do. You can force it to manually refresh more often with MacroDroid but this will drain your battery. I suggest you find a different email app that has push imap, for instance BLueMail can do this with gmail accounts.

You can try the patched Google play services app that is in my previous post, to generate a new GSF ID.

Then you need to regenerate a GSF ID. YOu don't need to do the whole process again, but you need to replace APK files. Use the patched Google Play Services app that is in my previous post, and reboot after it is installed. If it doesn't fix it then you need the full ictfix package as per the video. But STILL you don't need to downgrade.(in most cases)

First, let it do erecovery, maybe you messed it up already. erecovery may be able to fix it to give you a clean start. You WILL want a clean start or you're risking a brick.
Then when it is done, use HiSuite 10.0.1.550 and select the proper firmware combo from Hisuiteproxy and huaweifirmware, as obivously you're using the wrong ones. Oh and don't forget to check "ROLLBACK OS"

Hi again,
watch the video you've sent and did exactly what he says, at the end I got software install failed screen.
I am also sending you veneer info, and the rom, cust and preload I choose.
And also checked roll back OS option.
Hope you can help me..
I am so close to throw this phone away
I went down to 10.1.0.131 because of LZ Play install. It wont work in 10.1.0.176...
Other than that everything seems to me fine, cust/preload are selected correctly.
Hello, after upgrading to version 10.131 I lost my fast charging and connection to my computer. According to the guide, I updated by erecovery to version only 10.176. I can't upload a newer version in any way. Huawei p40 pro
Use Huawei Support app or My Huawei if it is updated, it should offer update by OTA. At least it did to me without problems...
