[Q] Google Play Store

Hi. When I update my CM to next nightly, my Play Store keeps disappearing. I noticed that, that started when I installed modded play store with lucky patcher. Now I must install play store manually after each update. It's not big problem, but I want to get rid of it. Anyone knows what to do?

What I do is after I flash an update I also re-flash the gaps zip. Not sure why that happens though.

[Q] [HELP?!] Google Play Services won't update, error "-501"

Hey Folks!
You're literally my last hope! I've made a mistake - a huge one.
Long story:
My keyboard kept disappearing so I thought "Hey, if I uninstall the Play services update, it should run smoother!" Well, it did. And then all the trouble began. I couldn't use most of my Google apps anymore, so I convinced myself to update to version 7.0, again. But hello! Error "-501" was and still is in the way! So I searched Google for an answer, but nothing helpful. I tried installing a downloaded apk, but it wouldn't install it. *Sigh*
Short story:
I uninstalled the Play Services app to version 6.7, but the Google Apps didn't think of that as funny... So I tried installing it again, but it didn't work. I deleted the cache of almost every Google related app, plus the data, but nothing was helping. Error "-501" just keeps popping up!
I'd like not to do a factory reset or root my phone. If there's a more convenient way, please tell me.
Regards,
Jeffrey

You'll likely have to factory reset.
What Android version are you on, and what modifications do you have (if applicable)?

Sometimes re-start phone fix the issue.

Edit:
Problem solved after I did a factory reset and installed google play store through HiApp.

I tried everything to solve the issue, the only solution is reboot the phone everytime it stops working

Oreo Play Store Error 501

After I've installed the official oreo update, play store gives me error 501 if I try to install antutu and pcmark. I didn't try any other apps so far. Is there anyone, who has the same problem? Tried uninstalling play store and play services updates, clear data, nearly anything I can think of.

Same thing for me... Will try later. Phone's working great !

Hi S,
Maybe you need to activate "developer" and then allow installing 3rd party app ?
Hope it works,
Kurt

It can't be activated for play store, but when i try to install the apk it says error parsing the package. And no, no corrupt download, tried more than 3 times. I start to think, that somehow Huawei blocked these apps.

Used to happen with me on an earlier Oreo build but not anymore. It used to give an error on all benchmark apps on the store. Everything else works perfectly fine but Benchmark apps were somehow blocked apparently.
But now I'm running a newer build of Oreo (8.0.0.360) and they work perfectly fine. Try updating your phone if it's not on it already.

As I said, it's the latest official version for eu (8.0.0.361), updated through HiCare.

is it possible to change play store to certified on stock rom with magisk installed?

so i haven't had any issues until 2 weeks ago when magisk got a new beta update which i couldn't update to without uninstalling magisk and reinstalling.
after doing so i couldn't pass safetynet and after some googling i found out about the whole play store uncertified thing.
i was on b399 then and tried all magisk mods i could find related to this with no luck and thought it was because i had used a modded play store a while back,
so i updated to get the stock play store (i'm now on b407) but i'm still uncertified. i tried registering on google's website which didn't help either.
so is it possible to bypass this on stock firmware?

I think you can't because play store check bootloader and frp

There are several magisk mods for passing safetynet, certifying play store and even for hiding bootloaders but I haven't been able to find one that works for me which is annoying.
I'd even lock/unlock the bootloader every time I needed to flash something but since the phone factory resets every time, that's not possible either.
Does this mean that no one on a honor 8 is able to pass safetynet?

What tests are you failing? Device Integrity and CtsProfile both or any one of them?
