Morning all,
Apologies for the message in a bit of a bind.
I'm disabled so struggle to use my hands. But trying to sort my p40 pro Google services side load.
Originally I managed to do it but couldn't fix the pop ups so had to start over and phone upgrade to EMUI as mentioned above.
I tried to downgrade but that failed. I possibly did it wrong.
I'm really confused and struggle with the typing. Can someone point me in the direction of the exact file I need to download to downgrade or a sideload for Google services that works on this EMUI. I've read all the posts, YouTube videos but tbh it's so painful and difficult to keep clicking. So hoping someone can assist
Many thanks
P.s typing through voice is crap lol

Had a search for this but didn't see anything relevant.
Recently, (about 2 weeks) I have had a constant problem updating apps, (either automatically or directly). I get a message that there is an error while retrieving RPC:S-5:AEC-0
Any solution?? Sorry if it is old news....

You obviously didn't do a search. At least not on Google for "error while retrieving RPC:S-5:AEC-0" because the solution is slap bang on the front page.
Two possible solutions:
Settings|apps|all
Find Google play store
Clear Cache
Force Stop
Back to list
Find Google Service Framework
Clear Data
Force Stop
Reboot device.
Or..:
Settings|Accounts|Google
Remove your Google account (nothing evil will happen.)
Re-add it.

Oh dear, I was naive enough to think that searching for "updating apps" but silly me, of course I should search by hyeroglyphic..... I'll try to remember that.
Many thanks for the answer.

That was a little cheap there, mate. It wasn't even meant as an insult, just an observation. Reporting it was overkill. (or if it wasn't you, someone else then.)
Did the solutions help or not? Because don't expect me to go looking for more after actually getting reported for helping.
Wouldn't worry about it Shadow.
The first thing anyone should do with any error code is google it. You actually tried to help in lieu of that.
I get the 403 issue a lot, there is a really simple way around the update issue! Consider this SOLVED!
Go to the playstore, find the app that you want to update, it will show as installed, but just click it and select your device and your phone will magically start updating!
That's a damn sight easier than performing any of the voodoo procedures I have read that people have posted, hope it helps everyone, I am just annoyed that I had not tried this method before!
Easy
Hi everyone, I'm Doug, and I'm new here and I have a quick question. I recently bought a Xioami Mi4c, it's pretty sweet but a little weird dealing with the Chinese apps and having to install google services from a separate place. Have any Mi4c users noticed google voice typing is missing from the language and input settings? I used it with Swiftkey and loved it because it would type my words as I spoke them. Now with my Mi4c it just seems to be missing?
Does anyone know anything about that?
Thanks for reading

Hello, here too...
You can try to uninstall Google keyboard and reinstall it from the play store to restore the voice typing...
Let me know
Thanks, I did what you suggested but it still isn't showing up. It must be something to do with installing google services thorough the google installer app, but it sure would be nice to get that back.

First of all you should install a new ROM like xiaomi.EU smiui, pac or cm. Follow the different threads in the mi4c section to do that. This way you will have a clean ROM without all the Chinese bloatware and with properly installed Google services.
Regarding your question, I am using PAC by team superluminal and I do have voice typing with Google keyboard. And I am sure you will have it with other ROMs here on xda. That's why I advise you to flash something
That's probably the best idea, but I tried it and it didn't seem to go smoothly, and my phone still wasn't rooted when I finished going through the steps so I went back to the stable ROM. And then I read that it doesn't work unless you get a code from xiaomi through sms? Honestly I don't know what I'm doing yet when it comes to rooting and romming, I'll read the forums like you suggested. I do love this phone though.
hi all. ive recently updated google chrome to the last version and i am unable to disable the annoying suggested content on chrome
the older method was to disable the 2 flags
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-popular-sites
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-snippets
but now after the update no option is there to disable the snippets flag
is there a method to disable this after the update. in the meantime ive reverted back to the. previous chrome version as i find the suggested content annoying. thanks

I have found this:
reddit DOT com/r/chrome/comments/67ndux/help_bookmarks_and_recent_tabs_buttons_gone_in/
google replies it's permanent, bunch of idiots
link
please reply on that forum you don't agree with this
I was also getting annoyed with unwanted junk as suggested content. Tried above options too. The first one about popular sites is still available at the time of posting this reply but that disables only dumping on new tab what is perceived as popular site at Google end.
I got rid of suggested content permanently by signing out of Chrome (Android) and by disabling couple of things under Settings - Privacy. 1. Search and site suggestions and 2. Use a prediction service to load pages quickly. Prepared myself to face slow loading, extra typing, etc rather than having disgusting unwanted junk...in my case in India - Bollywood crap.
setting "show popular sites"...... to DISABLED, did not fix anything for me. suggested articles are still here.
but i find another solution!!!
TESTED SOLUTION FOUND BY ME.
go to the "show server-side suggestions on the new tab page"
and set it to DISABLED.
that's all, now when you swipe up you will no more see Suggested Contents , but only an odd square image with a blue tree on a blue meadow XD XD
THANKS ME if it works for you, so also other people can understand if my solution is completely working (tested on chrome play store of 4 september, the latest till today)

Correct, lol. You did take the time to test and find a solution, so I think it's worth it to bump up your answer. And I click on search results from xda a lot, but never really got around to opening an account. Thanks for the opportunity I guess.
Would it be possible to get this phone added as a device, or maybe a General Questions thread for blu devices? Not sure if this is improper protocol here but if I looked around a bit and that just seems like the next logical step.. I think. Lol. There is a similar thread for getting root w/magisk but I believe that's it. If adding a new device is a bunch of extra work just point me in that direction and I'll put everything together if need be. Thanks. Again, sorry if this is out of line. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have never posted here either, but have also frequented here over the last several years. I have this device, as well as a few other Blu products, just started learning them recently. Its a mediatek course, have poke around with various features , still trying to unlock the bootloader. Did successfully unlock the bootloader on my Blu v50 (g50 plus clone), but the process is not the same. I created an account for this, will be watching here and on a few other devices, hopefully we can get some info to continue tinkering

Well, I see there's not been any action here yet. Xda is hit or miss for less popular devices. I plan on messing with the b140dl tonight, hopefully unlock the bootloader and patch/flash magisk, I'll post the results either way.
I'd like to find a twrp or the firmware.. if a boot.bin or boot.img exists yet as I've been unsuccessful so far. Any kinda help much appreciated
Has anyone made any progress on this device in the last month or two? I know we all got lives to live but I could use some help....
I did figure out how to simply frp bypass this phone

i got into the phone by opening emergency calls. Then adding and editing emergency contact info. You will see the option to whe re you can call or send a text. choose text, then the three dots in top right corner allowing you to select details. In details click on notifications, then click the middle of the top of the screen which will open the messages app info. Now click open. open settings and choose permissions. Now you should see the search icon in the top right corner. Click it and type apps. In the apps go to play services and disable it, go back to where you typed apps and type accessibility. Go to accessibility and select the first option, think it is the accessibility menu. open it and turn it on...Now go all the way back to the start screen. Open the accessibility and and select the assistant. You will be asked to enable play services. after doing this you should be able to set up the device...if not restart the device and you should be able to then...If I haven't forgotten anything...I am going on memory alone with no device to refresh my steps...goodluck
A video of frp bypassing may help some people out as well. Have we got close to a guide on how to root and install custom recovery?

Lo' there have you or anyone else made any headway on the B140DL? I have 2 of these little Blu Bastards and totally went Frankenstein on one of them. (Yes it still works) I have found the reboot "Test Points" but haven't been successful in forcing Brom mode. If you can get it into Brom mode you can get MTK Client to recognize it and run the script to unlock the bootloader. But I'm not sure about getting it out of Brom after that. I'm not afraid to find out, I'll keep you posted on my progress.

I used this tool to unlock my galaxy a12 it has all the tools for forcing brom and all kind of stuff https://androidfilehost.com/user/?w=settings-dev-files&flid=335303 obviously it would be different because it's a different phone but that tool might help you out
PrivyetCyka, can I get the file? I clicked your link but it said access denied.

Any update on this phone by any chance? Which test points are the correct ones?? I've been trying to figure It out for hours. And how did you find that info out if you don't mind me asking, just curious.
Turned mine on for the first time in a couple months, saw there's a security update. Won't be installing that, it seems unlikely but I'll hold out hope that a way to root or unlock bootloader is discovered for this phone someday. I'm on the July 5, 2022 update.
Ive tried this FRP bypass and I dont have the option of choosing permissions when I go to edit the text file. I have been able to get into drive but still havent found the app permissions options maybe it has been patched? The phone was last updated security wise oct 10 2022

The only thing I have gotten it to do from test point is reboot. The only thing that I can tell you is tear it down and start shorting them out one by one. But be careful, don't stay on point for too long. You may end cooking something.
