Hi All,
I was wondering whether its currently possible to downgrade back to EMUI 9? I received my Mate 30 Pro today (Model LIO-AL00), and it came with Android 10 out of the box. It has also applied a bunch of updates and I am now on 10.0.0.135.
I have tried the various guides to side-load Gapps via the backup method. Whilst the Gapps install, I can't open them. LZplay also doesn't want to start. I've tried all sorts of guides (including: https://www.gearbest.com/blog/how-t...ll-google-apps-gms-on-huawei-mate-30-pro-8639) but they all fail.
I also stumbled across the thread that talks about using Virtual Exposed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-30-pro/how-to/microg-t3977821). I can get Virtual Exposed installed, and the play store installed, but it doesn't open either.
So, I was wondering whether its possible (somehow?) to downgrade back to EMUI 9, so that I can use the LZPLAY method?
Thanks!!
Don't need to go back to 9. You can still get playstore on emui 10. I did it yesterday. Guide section install Google Play guide works. Rithina is op
Thanks for the quick response! Could you tell me which method you used, and what version of EMUI you did it on? Feel free to send me a private message if you don't want to share it publicly. Thanks!

I had seen that post, and I had tried it yesterday without any luck.
This morning I reset the phone and started again. Following the link from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-30-pro/how-to/install-gms-google-play-store-t3992095
I managed to restore the HiSuite backup (only apps and settings)
Installed Google Apps fine
Started LZplay, but then get connection errors (see screenshots)
Do I need to VPN into China for this to work? Because the phone is trying to get to https://api.lzplay.net, which no longer exists.
It also tries to go to http://configdownload.dbankcdn.com/ which is also throwing an error.
Any ideas?

Lzplay is meant to not work. Now close it and install all the Google system apps and play store. Give them all permissions they ask for.

Hi Mate, I have done that, but none of them work. These instructions all follow the same pattern, and I have tried 4x different methods now. None work.
NOTE one thing: I cannot use HiSuite 9.0.3_300 to restore the LZplay backup. I am forced to use 9.1.0_309OVE because of the Android version on my phone. That is the ONLY thing that deviates from the instructions!
This one doesn't work: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...all-google-service-huawei-mate30-pro-t3992171
This one doesn't work: https://lmphotography641.wordpress.com/2019/10/27/installing-google-play-store-for-mate-30-pro/
I can get the backup restored and all apps installed, but they just don't work . I made this video show the situation; https://youtu.be/BkAxzTzwPuQ
Should this still work with a later version of HiSuite?

So lzplay has admin rights? Have you tired istalling the Google apps again over themselves without uninstalling them first?

OK, I FINALLY managed to get it working. I followed these instructions:
Download and unzip the lzplay package (this contains the most important application data to be restored, please do not confuse with the newly downloaded lzplay package)
2, connect Hisuite (pc Huawei mobile phone assistant) click data recovery
3, find lzplay decompression package, only restore applications and data (only restore assistant application and application data, application data is the most important! application data is the most important! application data is the most important!) does not restore system settings!
4, restart the phone after data recovery
5, then download the corresponding version of the Google package and install (corresponding to the Google package and lzplay link below) Note: Install these Google packages based on all permissions
6. After the installation is complete, open the Google Service Assistant and activate the device manager.
7, restart the phone after activation is complete
8, open the settings drop-down to see if there is a google icon, if there is, then the installation is successful, if not, repeat the installation steps
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Open GMAIL first, register your account, and Google Play should then also start working.
The first couple of times I tried to either add a Gmail account or go directly to the Playstore, which didn't work. Now I opened Gmail, added my address, signed in and it all started working!
Thanks for all your input guys. Much appreciated!!
Google play workaround For mate 30 pro EMUI10 in
Hello everyone Today i will be writing about Huawei's flagship Mate 30 pro
Let me quickly tell what all things you require:-
HISuite for desktop (latest)
HiSuite for android (latest)
Download Zip from the link below:-
https://bit.ly/2P54OoZ
Steps to follow :-
Install HiSuite on Laptop/Desktop.
Extract Zip in Any folder of your choice.
Search for HDB in settings and enable it.
Now connect your Mate 30 Pro to PC.
When your Device is connected to PC you will see:-
Options like Backup , Restore etc etc in bottom tab of HiSuite on your PC
Click on restore(2nd option)
on top tab you will find option to browse for backup directory
Go to directory where you extracted zip
Select that
Go inside you will find 2 folders
Google
Huawei
Go inside huawei
you will find a folder Huaweixxxxxxxxx(xxx=Some date )
select this folder
Now on HiSuite you will see 2 things
1)AppData 2)Settings (from backup file)
uncheck settings by clicking on it
click restore at bottom
this will install lz play app all in chinese lang
dont worry just allow all permissions and then when you see list of items in chinese
just click bottom blue button
now copy contents of google folder in zip to the phone (these are google apk)
install all apps
restart your phone
And done you are good to use google

Your device does not support the backup or recovery feature
Thank you for sharing this fix, however, when I connect my device, I click on "Restore" and am met with the message "Your device does not support the backup or recovery feature".
I am using a Mate 30 Pro. Is there another way to get these files onto the device?
Many thanks,
Please tell your device model lio-l29?

I also faced this issue in starting but updating hisuite to latest version and factory reset device did the trick, don't use hisuite which is provided in package but use updated one, hope this solves your issue.
Thanks
Hi
Is mate 30 support this as wel
Hi,
You don't actually need to use the HiSuite and PC at all. Basically you can copy both folders to a usb stick, then connect USB stick to a phone and use restore backup from USB. All you have to restore from the backup is the com.lzplay.helper app. Then you can install all the apps from Google folder on the phone. Then go and give the Google apps all the permissions.
Now the tricky part. In order to make them system you have to give the lzplay app device administrator priviledges. You can go to flight mode, or even remove your SIM and delete all WiFi networks and then go to flight mode and then launch lzplay, give it device admin priviledges then restart the device. As soon as device restarts revoke device admin privs for lzplay and delete the app. Then enable data connection and you can use google apps now.
The only tricky part is that lzplay should be reverse engineered before to check if it is not dropping something else on your device when it is allowed device admin priviledges. Cutting off data just ensures that it will not download anything but if it drops something else then well I would be cautious with such device (well I am actually, just created a new google account for this device.).

yeah you can use USB stick that's another way but I posted this as sometimes USB stick isn't available.
Banking Apps?
Just a quick question.
Does this "Root" the phone or cause issues with using banking apps or any other app that needs a "Secure" phone??
I really want a Mate 30 Pro, but need all my banking apps and google pay to work.
Thanks

Google Pay works for contactless payments in stores?
I thought this is not possible due to Google not listing the phone model as "safe", regardless of the GMS setup method.

How did you manage to get Google pay to work?
- are you able to successfully add your credit/debit card into Google pay?
- Have you tried tapping your mate 30pro to make payment in retail store ?
I googled everywhere. Doesn't seem to have solution to use Google pay

I used the method I described in this thread-followed these exact steps and then since I was unable to update play services, I Transfered the latest version of Google play services app from my other phone and installed it which would replace old version of Google play services and from then on I can update and do all required things. Hope it helps

HydrogenOS already have Google Play Services & Google Services Framework in it, but it's a modified version, you just need to install Play Store apk and you can install all app with play store, without unlock bootloader and root. If you root, use magisk hide, you can also download like Netflix with Play Store.
It can nearly fit all your needs, but there are many other problems, mainly about Google features and sometimes network error, because China bans access to Google. All the problems arise when used in China. Whether there are such problems in other countries remains to be confirmed.
The Play Store can't auto update itself
The Play Store open or update app with a forever loading
You can't allow Google Location History
You can't Use Google Map Timeline
Your device can't display on web Google Play
You can't use Google Feed
You can't use "OK Google"
Some apps that rely on Google services sometimes experience network connection errors
......
The HydrogenOS Google Play market will connect to the domain name services.googleapis.cn, which cannot be opened, controlled by the /system/etc/permissions/services.cn.google.xml file (root is required to access
There is a line in the file, <feature name="cn.google.services" />
Someone made Magisk module Unlock CN GMS to solve this problem, by deleting or replacing this file, but it is still not perfect, there will still be a problem of network connection error. Another Magisk module can also help, Location Report Enabler.
You may ask, why not use OxygenOS?
Because in China, HydrogenOS have some useful localization features
Call Recording
NFC bus card
Call attribution
Harassment call interception
......
So, Can i flash GApps package to turn the built-in incomplete Google service into a full version？
Will this affect my subsequent system upgrades? I will upgrade through the full OTA package every time.
Do I need to flash the Gapps package again after each system upgrade?
This way is, use H2OS, import some OOS feature, only needed is pure Gapps.
_______________
There is an opposite way.
Use OOS, import some H2OS feature, the most needed is call recording, see this thread.
But if you are Cyberpunk edition, HydrogenOS is the best.
_______________
I don't find any solutions now, the TWRP is not out, so we can't flash Gapps, totally we have 3 ways to try with h2os.
1. Replace the h2os GMS to oos GMS, very difficult, don't know to replace what, may cause crash.
2. When TWRP comes out, flash Gapps, like Open Gapps, FlameGapps, may cause crash.
3. Use Magisk Gapps, like Weeb Gapps, may cause crash. This thread talked about this.
We discussed this in many places, all advice that don't try the 3 ways, because may cause crash, for a normal user, crash means you may face boot loop or lose data, and have to factory reset.
Still waiting for an expert guy good at flash phones to give a clear way.
Dude. We don't have a TWRP yet. So you can't flash gapps zips. The simplest and the best way would be to download the EU/IN full rom zip, do a local upgrade, then format the data. Your phone will have full GMS and will get updates for the OOS variant you flashed (EU/IN).

Thanks, i know what you mean
But as mentioned in the question, I still need to use some of the characteristics of Hydrogen OS, so I can’t directly change to Oxygen OS.
If 8T TWRP comes out, is the solution I mentioned above feasible?

Same problem here from China. Could install play store,but cantbconnect to my google account. can't install google play services or google services framework, not sure if its because they're the wrong version apks or because hydrogen now comes with a hard blocking on those.
It really sucks because on my 5t I didn't have to, hydrogen allowed google services too provided you use a VPN.
Let me know if you find a solution ! I also would rather not try to flash another is and lost warranty..

Guys, flash oxygen os zip that is higher than an older h2os base. Then install it again with local upgrade, then use the msm h2os tool, that puts it only on one slot. Then, install 11.4.5 ota zip, it reboots to opposite slot and that is the slot oos will be on. Should be oos with the Chinese apps but difference is google installed. I do the opposite to run my normal 8t cyberpunk as oos

r u sure? u say u run oos but have all chinese apps, such as the dialer is not google dialer and can use call recording...if so, i think u do the opposite way is better.
It is convenient for you to describe your operation steps in detail, like how to flash oos, what's your oos country version, etc. It is still not clear from the above reply. I think this will help many people, including the problem that OOS can’t use call recording. I am not very good at flashing the phone.
Do these operations do not need to unlock root, can OTA work normally afterwards, and the chinese apps still there, or can normally update these apps?
In addition, can the normal 8T also use all the features of the cyberpunk version?
thks!

What I have done is not for inexperienced users. I am in USA, bought the global 8t. I said the phone is converted so that's why I have oos dialer and apps. Chinese apps I have uninstalled. But I also have Google apps. You can also use Weeb Magisk Gapps or micro G. Both work.

As i know, HydrogenOS already have google play services & google services framework in it, you just need to install play store and you can install app with play store, it can fit your basic needs, but as my thread said, there are many other problems, because the Hydrogen GMS is not the same as OxygenOS.
After all I managed to update from the original hydrogen on my Chinese model directly to a european oxygen quite easily.
I downloaded the full rom EU version here: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8t-oxygenos-11-0-4-5-update/amp/
Then moved the downloaded zip file at the root of the phone's internal storage. Entered the phone settings, system, system updates then hit the settings icon displayed in top corner to reach local update.
The downloaded rom shows up here as an update.
Quite easy procedure, no problem accessing play store and adding a Google account after that, provided you already have a VPN app to bypass the usual blocking in China.

I noticed a few Chinese apps have disappeared such as the default web browser or the one plus market app. I managed to reinstall market through an apk site, didn't get to use the nfc card app you're talking about though. But I think you can always use alipay or we chat for bus payments. Or maybe that nfc app can also be reinstalled from a Chinese app store?

Yes. I downloaded it from here http://m.2265.com/down/5615.html
By the way I do have the "card package" app installed since upgrading to oxygen, is that the same app you were using on hydrogen?
I rooted my phone with kingroot (i didn't know that I should have used KingoRoot instead).
After the rooting process is complete, I factory reset the phone.
And then all the applications size become 0Kb including google chrome.
But somehow, I can still use google chrome but I can't login to google play services (stuck on "checking info"
I can still browse the internet but I cant download anything through google chrome.
Recently, I tried to flash the device.
I have successfully installed Android Sdk and access the bootloader through Android Sdk but I cant find the ROM for HS-L695.
I'd really appreciate any help from you guys. Thankss
These One-Click-Root tools all are crap.

the only solution would be going back to stock rom and get rooted via magisk instead ... this one-click-root apps are not open source you does not know what they does to get your device rooted
Is there any trusted tutorial source on how to root using magisk?
and most importantly, does anyone know where to find stock ROM for this HS-L695 device?
Hello Guys,
I come in need of a help,
I'm writing from my computer now,
Yesterday my phone was working fine,
Today morning, I updated the apps on my phone; amongst the updates was android system webview.
After a reboot, my phone is unresponsive, it won't open any of the apps from that point.
I reboot again, since keyboard doesn't work, I used the OTG cable to use the physical keyboard to enter the password and get in. Tried entering setting to uninstall that crap app, settings is unresponsive.
No SIM services, no keyboard, no fingerprint, no settings etc.. basically nothing works and everything says "unresponsive and asks to either wait or close".
The only thing I have now is TWRP Recovery, and I'm inside it now.
I've wiped Cache + Dalvik / ART Cache : Result still same, nothing works.
I mailed [email protected] (which is provided in the app's "Developer" section) about this and got a reply that the mail is no longer being monitored.
Can someone please let me know how I can remove android system webview by using TWRP ? So that I can enter the phone back again as normal..
Device Details:
Lenovo K8 Note
Android 7.1.1 Nougat, (Never updated the OS)
Device has been rooted and has recovery options.
I think you can find WebView module in Magisk respiratory so I suggest you give that a try. Flash it and I think it will be fine as long as you have Magisk installed, of course.

Thanks, I couldn't quite understand that..
I've never read/seen a need for Magisk so far.. so may I know what is the procedure to be done here...?
I do read Magisk is a systemless Root, (I already have SuperSu, is that the same functionality? (though I can't open anything that is))
Find the Magisk zip on Google and flash it over TWRP.
Head over to the Magisk module site and you will be able to find an alternate WebView module you can flash. It will be in zip format so I guess you will need USB to transfer those files to your phone since you cannot use it to download modules.

Give it a try and come to tell if you have sorted it out.
If not, you will probably need to flash your ROM again hoping the application won't stay updated but to back to stock version.

Oh, one more thing,
Does this procedure mean, I'll lose TWRP and SuperSu?
Can I not just downgrade the android system webview manually itself?

You won't lose TWRP but I am not sure about SuperSu since it's very old and people don't use it from the time Magisk appeared. I don't think you will be able to have both TWRP and SuperSu.
It would be good for you to just uninstall the updates of WebView if you can use your phone at all. That would solve the problem.
TWRP basically is a menu what allows you to select and apply ADB and/or Fastboot commands.
SuperSU is a Superuser access management tool: it requires SU binary got installed on Android.
Both mentioned sofwares are completely different things, don't depend on each other.
BTW:
I always root Android without the need to make use of Magisk or SuperSU.
So, I went through these

Android system Webview installed but not used by apps

I got is, .. the adb and appt command says "not found". so.. confusion. and I also see that Bromite System Webview might or might not work on some apps..
So,
Is there a way to downgrade an app through recovery mode
or delete that app's data and start from scratch for that alone?
or is there a way to flash an old Android System Web View through TWRP?
Please help, I have spent the whole day trying to fix this.
I already have SuperSu and it seems if I need to goto Magisk (which is just for that other webview application, I have to do a lot of rolling back and applications going away, ) I don't want that..
Let's keep the Magisk idea as last resort and please let me know if there is any other way to delete the entire Android Webview related stuff and start from beginning.
<bump>
Attached the attack of errors. (these are just few of the ANR popups, there are lots more.. at the last screen you can see even settings won't respond)
My recommendation: Reflash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all modifications you applied so far, then restart modding from the scratch.

Just because of one application?
I just want that android webview gone/replaced with a stable one, is that not possible without destroying everything?
Thanks everyone.
we have a solution,
In my case, uninstalling the Xposed framework fixed it for me..
So, while working on this issue I had made a flow map and a log of what is done and its results, may be someone else can benefit from it in the future..
Spoiler: Tries and results
Even starting the entering phone itself is a big issue, because the keyboard applications don't come up; fingerprint doesn't work on first boot as a security measure as well; connected physical keyboard to OTG to phone to enter password... then greeted with lots of errors of all the applications.

Posted to Google support, got crappy bot_ish answers; who even hires these people!
Posted to XDA, have some ideas worth trying
Unpacking the system web view.apk on computer gives crap details as it is almost completely encrypted.
Going rabbit hunting through the rabbit hole, checking each folders on "/"
found something similar /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Quick google search confirms that I’m on the right path to finding it...
May be data or XML is somewhere too?
Deleted(copied and deleted) /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Result, Same
Then Reverted
PS: Original Copy at ext_sdcard
Replaced the existing one (92.0.4515.115 with 90.0.4430.210)
Result, no changes.
Then reverted with the crappy original
May be adb will install properly?
Tried adb commands on phone on TWRP, doesn't work
Tried adb from computer to phone, unable to connect to phone.
Was doing it wrong, while in TWRP, I need to initiate "ADB Sideload" and then connect from PC (with Firewall allowed)
then "adb devices", shows connected device with serial number
after the above, the adb push keeps saying "error: connect failed: closed"
turning phone ON and connecting for additional settings (USB debugging) pops "mtp host failed" as soon as I wire..
Started the phone, switched over to Guest account, (oddly seems stuff there are kind of better with lesser error messages), tried launching playstore and wifi, both need password which I don't have, entering settings, hangs for a while, quickly go to apps and uninstall updates for android system web view.. web view becomes 0.0.1
results, fail
Created a temporary user account on phone whilst booting, (because of the observable lesser apps running if I switch over from main..)
added my gaccount on it,
launched playstore to update the android system web view..
the update is stuck at 60%~70 %each time and is unable to complete..
took the v90 application that is on pendrive, connected otg.. and started to install application manually from there..
it said, no space.. even though there is around 4 GB free... continued to disable other applications, such as chrome, youtube, drive etc..
still unable to install the v90 application
even installing other apps (sudoku example) have the same issue,
and then I see a popup that package manager has stopped working (aha! so that itself doesn't work, then can't install),
Went to see if I can change something on developer options, developer option wont come up even after 7+ taps.. hmm strange, may be only main account can have dev options.
While at it, swapped out the Gboard with older AOSP keyboard (retaining Fleksy though).
Rebooted and tried again.. no fix yet..
Atleast I don't have to switch to physical keyboard now for every reboot, since the inner older keyboard comes for first boot.
By TWRP, removed existing app and replaced with v87; doesn't seem to be any different, same errors...
Was about to install the Magisk but it seems to have lots and lots of catches to it, and things to-do before I can go to that...
Continuing investigation on how to downgrade and get back to older state
Through TWRP, deleted the app folder from /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
researched to see if there is something else to delete, couldn't find much... proceeding from what we know...
Removed ATSystem.apk (3C's helper) from /system/priv-app just in cast (copy placed at ext_sdcard)
result no change..
Started at around 31-Jul-21 13:00 and went on till 01-Aug-21 01-26 pausing to for the day to rest...
Restored App Folder back to /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
WebViewGoogle.apk is v90 again.. (the original seems to be missing, meh, not like it's going to fix)
reboot, result, no changes.
Starting step to install magisk
Removing xposed now..
wiped dalvik cache
rebooting
Kind of stable!!!
Everything seems to work?!?!
Firewalled all app except playstore and mail,
mail seems to work, but can't open the mails (just the headers are received), clicking on the mail says "unable to inflate webview"
aha, I forgot that I have v87 still, if I update that again, will it work (if it doesn't we know how to revert now)
proceeds to update v87 to latest
reboots,
I guess issue resolved by uninstalling xposed, next step to enter phone and move data to safe zone and think about next step.
Are you using xprivacylua?

Oh... sorry to hear that.
I don't know the solution to that, because mine is rooted I was able to get into the custom recovery and fix things.. not sure what can be done here for your case, (I do know that the old samsung's default recovery is kinda unreadable for English speakers)
So, I think it's best for you to start a new thread in the forum, because if you make a new thread there's a higher chance of reply than this thread which is already marked solved.
(plus. please do attach any photos even crude it may be, still will help people see and suggest actions)
