No Google Play on Mate 9

I bought a Huewai Mate 9 from an online store saying it was a UK store. The phone arrived, its a chinese version with no Google Store, GMS or Playstore. So I cannot install my apps or get my backup files installed from my okd phone. Any help appreciated - thanks.

Visit Huawei's app store. There you may download GMS and Play Store.
GMS - http://a.vmall.com/app/C10611057
Play Store - http://a.vmall.com/app/C10057661
Good luck to you.

[Q]Will Huawei Mate 20 Chinese ROM work fine with google services?

I can't find the international version of Mate 20 locally in Europe so I am looking at Aliexpress and I have found out you can easily add play store.
But will google services like maps, calendar, etc work fine? Is the English translation in that ROM good?
Thank you

If you have a Chinese version of Mate 20, you need to enable Google Play Store.
Just go to HiApp, which is an App Store by Huawei, select Google Play Store and update it.

Huawei Nova 4e - China version Google Web Services blocked / aka Huawei P30 lite

I got new Huawei Nova 4e from China and would like to install Google Web Services and other google apps to the phone.
OS: Emui 9.0.1.130
Huawei seem to block all Google apps by default including google web services, google play store, google calendar, etc even Google Keyboard.
Any ideas if I have to root a new ROM?

So far I have not found any solution for this. .

Re:
Basically I am looking for ROM and trustable installation instructions - any out there?

Hey, could you please post the links to all the exact APKs you have installed? I've tried all recommended ones I could find and still stuck on login button.

I think you get me wrong, I only managed to work google authenticator.
Still cant add a Google account. Also many apps not properly working. If you still want to apks I can write the versions of these apps.
We need a new rom, also a way to unlock bootloader.

Any news?

Hello,
Based in France, I also bought the Nova 4e with Chinese android that is blocking most of Google apps, I couldn't even use Deezer and Whatsapp at the begining.
I have been trying all the possible scenarios that I found online, when arriving at the point of installing and launching the Google play store app (any version), the app was crashing and the phone was then becoming really unstable.
the only option I finally found, is to press *#*#2846579#*#* and do a factory reset, then restarting the phone and choosing to clone with my previous android phone (HTC desire 10 pro), after doing that download and install only these 3 APK of (reminder: at this stage you have to download APK files to install apps, from your phone directly or from a PC):
Google Account Manager.
Google Services Framework.
Google Play Services.
DON'T INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY STORE!
You can use APK Pure that is a neutral play store where you can download all popular apps just like on the classical google play store.
If you have a Gmail email box, you can use the Huawei email app that is really good or use a great alternative named myMail.
To substitute Google map you can use Waze or Here WeGo, as you need to log in with your Google account to use YouTube you can use as a substitute: Play tube app.
Google chrome is working so you can also use some Google apps like Google drive, Gmail , you tube or Google agenda from chrome.
All the other apps work fine, Facebook, instagram.... actually being in such situation make you think that Google is really everywhere in your phone and make you think differently forcing you to search for alternatives.
I bought this phone on a Chinese website, in the item description it was written "Huawei P30 Lite Nova 4E" actually if you encounter the same problem as me and you have received a NOVA 4E the seller is wrong and if you open a dispute with reason "parameter not as described" the seller will probably refused to refund but then the website should intervene and say you are right, in my case they offered me the solution below:
Option 1: Return goods Full refund (Seller pays the returning shipping fee)
I think that I will keep the phone, I will probably try to root it but It seems the bootloader code for this phone is not available at the moment, some people even say there is no code for this phone so I don't really know how to root it.
If somebody manage to do it I would be interested to have the procedure.

Many thanks @Tib-fr for sharing this procedure, it's been the only useful hint that worked for me so far after trying multiple alternatives. My Google Chrome doesn't work but I can use Firefox. I cloned a P30 Pro into my Nova4e. Appreciated your help very much, keep well ?

HEllo @edbfkn you are welcome, by cloning a p30 pro in your nova4e can you use some other google apps ?

I haven't tested it extensively but noticed: some apps could not be properly installed on Nova4e (probably due to lack of GMS) and I didn't need to install the 3 Google APKs as you described. Other Google apps such as Play Music work but obviously I can't log in with my account. The non-Google 3rd party apps are so far working normally ? I'll continue testing and will let u know of any new finding!

Hola a todos.. Igual que ustedes tengo un nova 4e..
Hay alguna solución?

install rom
I saw that you can put a rom, it's called MAR-LX2, even so I don't know how to put the firmware.

MAR-LX1B should work with gaps without issues in EU atleast, I am not sure if it will work to flash firmware between different variant codes however

I have the Mate Xs in hand. Feel free to ask comment and suggest

Got it here in UAE. So far no Google method is working from the Mate 30 pro thread.

Did you use phone clone followed by chat partner all with device ID?

How can I add Google pack into this device? I used mate 30 promethod which was working perfectly with that device but in this device it won't work. It keep showing me message "this device isn’t Play Protect certified"

Hello, I also Have a Huawei Mate XS and yes, I tried to do the procedure with Chat partner APP and device ID registration, but it doesn't work. You still can't login to the play store and you receive constant google play service notifications. Unusable. I've also tried to use the procedure described in the answers to the video (using Chat partner after cloning my old Huawei P30pro) but no luck.
I resolved to use the phone without google services, using APK Pure and Aptoide for missing apps.
Still there are apps that I normally use that just don't work. So far:
- Tesla;
- Couple of games I play;
- Revolut;
- Netflix;
- Gmail;
- google maps works but you can't login to google.
All in all I'm still pretty satisfied with the phone and I'm waiting for a definitive workaround for google play store.

Google package
If you have solutions plz post it

Have you tried VMOS apk? As a limited alternative there is also an app called G-Whizz plus and Gapps browser as a temporary solution.
Yes otherwise you need third party apps stores like spk mirror, f Droid, Aurora store or app suche.vone can use internet access to GMS.
VMOS don't dismiss without tryjng

Many current Huawei phones with Kirin chipset are not fully compatible with WMOS and vice versa.

I'm trying to get used to using the device Sans Google. Trying to explore alternatives and see how to reduce Google life haha.

Only one app is working, if you update it might not work

General Huewei P50 Pro JAD-LX9 international version using daily - You need google? DO NOT BUY! I wish I bought Samsung or even iPhone

I have it for a month now. Hardware - perfect. System - looks stable. BUT... google apps and services? Forget it.
Yes, I am from middle Europe, used to have Google services on every step. I use google Photos, Gmail, Drive, Maps, Youtube, Chromecast, Android Auto, Notes, Docs, Drive... Guess what. All of that is gone.
I came from Huawei P30 PRO which was one of the best phones and still is (it has GMS – google services). P40 PRO can use Googlefier and google is back. My logical option was to upgrade from P30 PRO to P50 PRO and simply use solution as Googlefier.
AND HOW WRONG I WAS!!
P50 PRO international uses EMUI 12 and not Harmony OS 2.0 as Chines version. Chines version is having possibility to load google services but not the international. Believe me, I have try like many others.
THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE INSTALL GMS ON INTERNATIONAL VERSION.
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE IF YOU USE GOOGLE SERVICES.
Right now use gmail and google photos in browser!! I have 100GB of drive space to use it in a browser is a nightmare.
THIS PHONE IS “CANDY” WITH A NIGHTMARE!
Gspace, dualspace, VMS… you ask? It’s all a joke. Buggy and full of limitations, notifications not working, total add platform on every touch. You have to wait 5 seconds for every app you open or use again. I would buy the app but I am not convinced. Safety is questionable.
AppGalery and Pental? Please, I would rather not comment.
Half of my local apps do not work as those depend on google services. Just try to install Strava for instance, parking app, paying apps, local weather, TV casting, receiver control, smart apps… NOT WORKING
Now what should I do? Two options.
I can wait for someone to make native GMS to work. I will wait for maybe a month.
Sell this NIGHTMARE of a PHONE for something less attractive but working normally.
Second option should be my first option as I spend too much time (whole month) to fix GMS on my P50 PRO.
For 1200,00 € (Some $ 1330,00 USD ) I can easy get iPhone 13 PRO MAX or Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G.
I should point out that I loved my P30 PRO and I don’t care what Trump thinks about Huawei.
HUAWEI, HONOR and company. No, thank you, never again. Sadly my options are elsewhere. I am certain many will follow.
Let me know if I am wrong.

Well Gspace works for me. Google photos backup also works for me via Gspace (just had to configure to run autostart and battery optimization). Google drive uploading via Gspace works flawlessly.
I use DAVx for contact and calendar sync. Use Aurora store for installing apps (most of the apps are working even the games).
Only problem I see is WhatsApp Backup on Google drive, which I am managing by taking a local backup via a script, when I change PHONE, as I frequently switch between my Xiaomi 12 Pro and P50 Pro.
Pretty happy with the device even with the limitations.
I am searching for a way to install Harmonyos on it, so far found none, maybe if it can be done, it will heal you to install Gms.

Wish you post it a few days earlier before I was on a decision, P50 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max (same price until the last euro) and chose Huawei for a better camera and consult guy promises that Gspace will solve everything for me.
Hardware itself is awesome. But... Very missing a Google Services and all it integrations. Hope that one day they appears.

hello, i have the p40pro and i bought the p50pro for 850 dollars for a gift watch the gt2pro is compliant with the type of use i give it i use modified gspace it does not carry advertisements and aurorastore the only problem i see is in some applications that it does not maintain them in background

Clear cache, clear recent, then try. If this didn't work, reinstall Google drive
