google play uncertified after update to B225 - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

anybody seeing uncertified device in google play after upgrade firmware B225 in mate 9 Chinese version? it was certified in B213

Interesting. I have the same for B225. What does this mean?

not sure, maybe because of the integration of GMS into the FW but so far all gapps work fine without any issues, v8.X supposed to come out yesterday or today so hope it will update without any issues.

May be its a reason that Android pay stop working on this firmware.
Anybody know how to fix this?

haven't tried it yet but you are correct, some gapps will only work on certified devices

This is a bug of Google or Huawei? Google support can't tell me anything about it.

I am think that firmware not official.

Perhaps you can contact Google support for help. Good luck to you.

anyone got this fixed? been thinking about doing a factory reset and reinstall gapps from scratch but not sure if will work or if its better to wait for a new fw update from huawei whenever that happens

This has been the case for me on the last several releases. I have not experienced any difficulties or even change whatsoever. I don't use Android Pay though.

i did in b213 but now I cant also photos and contacts dont sync automatically in the background unless I open the app other than that everything works as expected

I have the same thing installed on the MHA-L29C432B193 via FunkyH, I have had it several times before and over time, and no problems in the applications or their updates have caused it.

Same here on 193. It is because firmware is not certified by Huawei jet.

I had just rebranded from C567B190 to C432B193 (for the frequent security updates as it seemed like it was getting updates every month), and now Playstore says uncertified and Google Play is refusing to work, stating:
"Android Pay can't be used on this device
This may be because your device is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader or is running a custom ROM..."
I hope you're right about this, arminbih, I'd hate to lose the ability to run Android Pay because of what I did and I'd hate to have to do another factory reset.
My phone's bootloader is locked after the rebranding script finished flashing the official B193. Did the recommended steps, 2 script runs and factory reset, but I hope nothing was messed up during the process. I should've backed up the original partitions in TWRP before proceeding with flashing. Oh well.
Anyone else have a clue?

193 is unstable, force closes some apps, and camera does not work in RAW mode. I suggest going back to 190 or before, they are certified.

Thank you for your reply. Off-topic question, would you know if it's easy to go back to 190 without losing data?
(I certainly should look that up myself, I know, but I literally just got the phone yesterday so it's still much of uncharted territory for me)

Search "firmware finder" on play store and forums. You can upgrade downgrade as much as you like via official upade changing dns.

I too had B193 installed, and Android Pay wouldn't work. SafetyNet basic integrity passed but not CTS Profile, and probably because of B193 being uncertified. Went back to B190 now that it's certified and Pay works again and SafetyNet passes on both checks.
I have previously used updates the day they were released on hwmt.ru and they have worked fine with SafetyNet, even when it said uncertified. So this might be something new.

That's great to know. Thank you.
Were you able to downgrade without a wipe, and if so, what method did you use?
I've been messing with FF and the proxy method but no dice so far.

Android OS Data Usage

Lately my Android OS has been using A LOT of data. I'm just curious to see if anyone else has had the issue.
In the last 30 days, my Android OS has used approx. 27 GB.
I am rooted, and was on NDE63V when this occurred.
I am currently in the process of updating my phone to the latest firmware for (what I believe is) only Canadian carriers. So I am hoping the solves the issue.
I downloaded a data usage app which helps limit apps from using data, and tells me which ones are doing it.
Currently, through this app my usage falls under:
Android System - 11 GB
com.qti.service.colorservice - 6.8 GB
com.qualcomm.atfwd - 6.8 GB
com.qualcomm.fastdormancy - 3.8 GB
At first it was just the fastdormancy one that was getting me, until I went into TiBU and froze it. After that, it stopped using data but the other 3 really started eating up my data.
I feel like I was going to post more in this, so if anyone wants more relevant information, please let me know. I really need this figured out. I have had to upgrade my plan from 10gb to 25 gb and now I am already 8gb over my limit. Last night I was 4gb under it. My phone has somehow used 12 gb in roughly 14 hours.
I checked my brothers stock Pixel XL, and Android OS has used only (but still seems like a lot) 300mb. Which I attributed to his update to the latest firmware for Canadian carriers, which was roughly 260mb.
Can anyone help shed some light onto what is happening with my data?
Possibly related to the seemless update function failing because of root. The pixel can't apply the update and keeps downloading it over and over again. for me applying the latest OTA fixed the issue. another solution is to disable the automatic updates in the developer options
Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers mobile app
My mobile data usage has doubled after moving to the PIxel despite near identical usage to previous phone.
For me com.qti.service.colorservice is the culprit but have no idea why or what it is for.

That's what I was thinking. I just applied the update last night and re rooted. Everything seems fine so far. I'll have a better idea at the end of the day.

Bummer! I was hoping it was a setting fix. Still not sure why it started happening for no reason. I'll have to back up my data, wipe, sideload the update, re-root, then restore my data. I was hoping to avoid all that mess, but it seems to be the only way to apply the update.

I never had to do that to update to the latest. I just followed this guide.

You do lose root and that sorta thing but you do not lose any data doing this.

That is a guide to manually update your phone through fastboot. The toolkit will do all of that without typing any commands just choose no when it asks to format data and you will not lose data.

To each their own. Just simply stated the way that I did it to not lose data as I prefer manually doing it.
I had the EXACT same issue that I struggled with. There's a bug on the build you're on and it'll keep trying to download that OTA as long as you have data enabled (regardless if Wifi is enabled - ARG!!!).
I just got over $50 in usage charges that I know of, then I left my phone on with data and my bill says $600..... I flashed NMF26Q and it corrected the issue. Only a mb or two every few hours. With this bug, I was downloading a gig a day! Need to call my carrier and see if they'll credit some of those charges. Hope this helps!
my phone used over 110gb of data last month because of this error I am getting a refund from verizon now but has anyone figured out the problem? I just updated to the latest version and hope it stops killing my data otherwise i dont know what to do
Sideloaded 7.1.1 from 7.1 tonight.
Hope this fixes my issue!
Thanks for the help gents!

I think i messed up, NRD90M Test keys

I updated my stock L09C636B170 to B560(I think, cant check with it just saying test keys) using Firmware finder proxy method . Everything seemed to be in order, it downloaded the update and applied it.
System seems faster but I've noticed that my bluetooth can't be turned on (I use it frequently for my smartwatch and car). Also certain apps seem to be missing. (clock, updater, etc)
I'm not sure how to fix these issues and really need you guys to help me out here.

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like you're in the early steps of how I messed up myself just recently.
Here's how I managed to fix my device again: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72794604&postcount=6 (Obviously, I can't guarantee anything, it's just what worked for me. Maybe you don't have to do quite as much as I did, since your phone still boots, at least.)
I hope it works out for you, too. :fingers-crossed:
Edit: Just read you are on a stock ROM by now. I don't think you have to unlock your bootloader for that, but I could be wrong. Should you encounter any problems in the process, this may(!) be cause.

Bad first experience

Has anyone else had any of these problems with their oneplus 6?
-files disappear after each reboot
-keyboard stops functioning on lock screen and I can't unlock the device
-apps randomly losing their data such as Snapchat/Instagram and I have to log back in
-can't use any other keyboard with a password since the device comes encrypted. My s7 used default keyboard before being decrypted.
I have factory reset at least 3-4 times since I have owned the device.
Oneplus customer support said in regards to my files being randomly deleted, "You should just backup your stuff with google drive". Is that really the solution? Just expect my files to be erased and have to recover from backup after each reboot? Most of the customer support people never understand my problems that I am trying to tell them and I can hardly understand them either. Sorry for ranting a bit. I was excited to get rid of my galaxy s7 and try something new that I was told has good rom support and little no bloat on stock ROM, but I've been very disappointed. I guess after seeing their customer support is partnered with Acer it makes sense.
Try a factory reset. I haven't heard anyone report such issues on OP6 before. If it still doesn't work after a factory reset, I would look for a warranty replacement

I've factory reset 3-4 times and still have the same issues. Corrupted ROM perhaps? I have seen a few people on one plus forums talk about how their files are being deleted, but those threads disappear magically. I talked to two people today who have the same issue.

I've been using it for almost a week with 0 issues... It's probably a faulty unit you're having, make sure it's running the latest 5.1.8 software.
Try installing a custom rom and see if it sorts things out

Download full zip and flash it via system update
which files is it deleting and from what directory? never had any issues, really think a fresh install is best way, start over and don't do any fancy crap at first (root, etc). Root I used to do to every phone, fight and cuss it out because I was not careful, now I never ever root and I'm much happier

It's possible you had a bad flash or bad download. Download a fresh copy of 5.1.8, check the MD5, and install from the system updater (not twrp). If the problems persist, you may have a faulty unit. In nearly a month, I haven't had any of the problems you describe.

Rooted or unrooted? Im desperate for a solution

Hi guys. Im really hoping someone can help me here. This is my first post here so dont hate.
So I've been using this op6 since a year now.
My main issue- Unrooted but cant use some apps and games. They all crash because im supposedly rooted.
Tried installing the mario kart tour today. Had a similar issue with pokemon go so had to stop playing. Some banking apps refuse to work (axis bank). And most importantly Fortnite. This was the first app i tried installing on my phone after buying it. Crashed right after i jumped from the bus.
Confirmed facts about my phone to make this a faster process:
Unrooted (checked on root checker)
Developer options switched off
Oem locked
Passed safety net check from the app on playstore
Bought from the official oneplus store. Brand new out of the box.
Receiving latest OTA updates.
No supersu installed
Latest security patch updated via ota
Any information regarding this would be highly appreciated. I have nowhere else i would be able to explain this scenario.
Thanks
Try to install Magisk (if rooted) and select app or game in "Magisk hide" to say your smartphone is not rooted
If not rooted look if you're installed last update of Android système webview in Google play store.
I'm not rooted. Infact my bootloader is still locked. Magisk wont work right?
Im wondering what exactly could be triggering the false positive on these games.
Android system webview is disabled
Maybe a Magisk folder is still on your device. Search for "Magisk" folder in file manager and if you find anything, delete it.
Nah buddy! No magisk was ever installed on the device. A deep search for such a folder yielded no results.
Someone help please!
Try turning off developer options. I've seen some apps which refuse to work with them on (Marrow). Just an idea

Ok you need to figure out if you have an app that is causing this installed. I recommend you do a factory reset, do not install any backups or apps when you go through initial setup, and then install and try any of your "problem apps" one at a time to see if they work.

Play Store missing after flashing new firmware

Hi
I have a s20 ultra, the original OS\firmware was for Brazil.
I flashed a new original ILO CSC firmware from sam-mobile, used patched odin and changed csc to ILO with SamFw_FRP_Tool
After flashing I added and logged in to my google account and samsung account on the phone.
Now the Play Store is missing.
It does not show in the APPS (at settings) or as an available google service for the device.
what can I do?
Flash another firmware? do something else?

Tried that already.
Is says installed when finished and there you can choose OPEN.
But nothing opens and it's like nothing changed.
PS: The option "reset" in settings is also missing.
Took the phone to a local service lab and they worked on it for 2 days already but could not fix the problem. still they are optimistic.
They say that probably something went wrong with the flashing process, but i suspect that it might be something to do with EDM policy, software is installed on the phone but can not be accessed.
I hope the service lab will fix it.

Tried to wipe cache partition.
What I did notice, is that in my phone's recovery mode, there is no "wipe data\factory reset" line.
I wish I did a nandroid backup before the update, but i said to myself that this is a new phone and i have no data on it, so there's nothing to lose.
I suspect that only if someone could contribute such a backup of his own original nand, it might fix the problem.
But i am not sure if it is indeed possible to go back to an older boot loader this way.

An older firmware will probably have a lower binary version and Samsung has things in place to prevent flashing a lower binary. Downgrade isn't possible unless the downgraded firmware has a binary that is equal to the binary of the currently installed firmware.
You dont need playstore, get aurorastore instead, or fdroid.

S20 Ultra with official firmware should have play store.
If it is missing then it was probably a problem with the flash, or wrong firmware or security, no reason to use a play store alternative, all reason for fixing the base problem.
I am trying to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

Updating...
I found out what was wrong with my phone.
I was sold a phone which is a demonstration managed by knox phone.
Knot would not let the phone have Play Store or the ability to reset it.
This is something that can not be changed unless you root the phone and kill knox.
Knox at first start sends the IEMI of the phone to the server, and since the IEMI is on a list , knot controls it. no way to remove the IMEI from the list since it's in samsung's servers not on the personal device.
I returned the phone to the seller today and received a refund.
