P40 Pro on EMUI 11 beta. I need to reinstall GMS. Safe to do? - Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

i got a security alert someone had access to my google account and that i should change my password. I did and it signed me out of Google and I can't sign back in again with the new password. Maybe this has to do with when we had to sign in with google account during installing GMS.
My question is I need to reinstall GMS. I used a youtube tutorial a good while ago. Has anything changed? Can I still use said tutorial or will i get bricked? Do I need to downgrade to 10.1 or 10.0?
any advice greatly appreciated.
oh the headache and hours that await to do it all over again from scratch

at a guess i would say that you have to downgrade and reinstall.. but as a side note. can you tell me what steps you took to get the beta? i've been changing regions and trying, but it keeps telling me that there is no beta for me device

I have managed to root mine but i had to unlock the bootloader, install twrp and flash SuperSU 2.65
To unlock the bootloader you have two options
You can request the bootloader from Huawei or pay 4 euro and use the DC-Unlocker app.
There is a good guide over here

You have to unlock bootloader first and flash TWRP recovery. It's pretty much the same across all HUAWEI devices.
Thanks for the suggestions... However I am stuck at the first step getting the unlock code... The english version of the online unlock mask does not work at all, and in the chinese one I get an error... Huawei Support doesn't seam to know why it is not working. They just started selling those in Germany a couple Days ago... maybe thats why it is not working yet... (I managed to unlock the bootloader for an Honor 4C yesterday)

Maybe their internal system is not up yet for unlocking latest devices. Just wait for a few more day, let them fix problems first.

No I haven't tried... Since I completed the setup of my phone by now, there is no real rush to root it anymore (I was hoping I need to do it only once - it is not that much work, so I am pretty lazy I guess...)... Also once my phone turned of with 35% Battery remaining, therefore I would like to monitor this situation before I void my warranty...
Hi,
if you want to root your honor 5c, you can try this : http://www.osroots.com/huawei-honor-5c-how-to-root-huawei-honor-5c-osroots/
Use SuperSu 2.65, not the beta
Just to let you know, I wasn't able to root my Honor 5C with SuperSU 2.74 Beta, but 2.65 stable did the thing right.
I've just followed Modaco's thread, and used Chrome Traduction feature to know what was displayed in chinese to unlock the bootloader. Installing TWRP was then easy.
Edit - found it here, flashed it, n to access just press volume up+vol down+power, then installed supersu 2.65 and thats all
I've successfully unlocked my bootloader, but now i need to install twrp and supersu, where can i find the proper twrp recovery image for my NEM-L22
I was able to flash my NEM-L51 :
Got the unlock code following the goo.gl link
Unlocked the bootloader following the modaco procedure, the official one (don't forget to enable "OEM unlock" in developer options like I did)
Rooted using SuperSU 2.65 (didn't seem to work with the latest stable, 2.76, so I flashed it again with 2.65 and it worked then but Root Verifier tells me I have 2.76…)
I had to pay for dc unlocker, Huawei pages are crap. Then it was easy.
Cant finish the android start wizzard because of google
Hi at all,
i have a big problem at the moment. i rooted the honor 5 c of my girlfriend and it was all okay. The smartphone was rootet, SU installed and TWRP on it. After a factory reset because google playstore had problems to connect to server my problem began. After a reboot i am stuck in the installation assistant of android. I can choose my country, and my wlan, but when i want to go further google has to connect to servers and cant do it. So i can not enter the device. I can also read on my smartphone when it is in fastboot mode PHONE unlock and FRP lock. Could this be my problem? Or could it be the hosts file who blocks google to connect to servers?
Situation after first factory reset:
-unlocked bootloader
-rootet
-cant enter the phone because google cannot connect to server
Situation after secound factory reset:
-bootloader unlocked
-Phone unlocked
-FRP lock
Can you please help me? And sorry for my bad english. I hope you can understand everything and i dont forget something.
Did you try to add google account not immediately after factory reset when setting the phone, but skip it and add later?

I have no option to skip the google verification. Right after i allow or do not allow the enhanced internet experience Wi-Fi+ service and click one of the button, the next tab appears and says Couldn't sign in: There was a problem communicating with Google servers...... Try again later
Now i have the option to go next or go back. When i click next it restart at the language selection.
I searched the internet for this problem, but it seems i am the only one with such a issue.
I wanted to add some screenshots but i am not allowed to add links until i did 10 posts
Okay i have solved my problem with a stock firmware i found deep in space Thanks
if someone need the stock rom or custom rom for honor 5c PM me and i can send your the link to the forum. I am not allowed to post it here :crying:

P10 lite rom
Please, does somebody have a backup of p10 lite WAS-LX3 rom? I wipe my device rom with TWRP.
Please help me.....
I've rooted the P10 Lite - what now?
I got the WAS-AL00 version.
I managed to root this phone based on instructions I found on this forum.
Then I tried installing some Google apps, starting with Google Services and the Pixel Launcher.
Once installed, Google Services wants to update, but the update does not work, and the phone just turns idle without anything happening.
None of the other Google apps I tried installing works (Gmail, Contacts, Youtube, etc).
This is my first experience rooting a phone. I was expecting that once I root the phone, I can do pretty much whatever I want with it, but apparently without the right tools, that's not possible.
What exactly needs to happen next in order to be able to use this phone in the USA with full access to Google apps?
yep needed.

You should be able to install apps from Google Play with a rooted phone, this isn't normal.
What root method have you used?

I've used the method described here.
I checked the root with the root checker app, which gives an error message saying the root access was not installed properly
I tried installing Google Services but it's not updating, and therefore not working.
The phone is great otherwise, just not taking any Google services, and most of my usual apps, so I use it as a paperweight right now.

Factory Reset Protection Help

First of all I know this has been asked a bajillion times, but I've read a hundred bypass threads and none of them seem to work for the current update on this phone.
I have a non-rooted, locked bootloader, and the latest software as far as I know. My problem is that the google account I had on this phone was deleted BEFORE resetting the phone, thinking I wouldnt ever need it again. It is a secondary phone that I only use for testing and I didn't even know about the stupid FRP. Now when I go to put in the "Previously Used Gmail", it tells me that the account doesnt exist because it doesn't. I have an email in to Google about it but they have not gotten back to me and there is no guarantee that they will reactivate the account.
The "Motorola Privacy Protection" method doesn't work because they removed that in this update, so I can't see a way into settings. A bunch of other methods haven't worked from other threads because I can't install any apps, can't get into settings, can't do anything. Its great that Google wants to protect my device but god damn.
Anybody have any ideas? Is there a method that works on the most recent update for this device to get around this stupid thing?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Unlocked) 11/29/2017 OTA Android update, Safe or not?

Hello.
Does anyone know the actual contents of this OTA update that was released today 11/29/17? After the horrible time Samsung and Android gave me after the Note7 fiasco I have become very untrusting of them. The first Note8 OTA update left me with little options relating to rollback and such things.
I would like to know what is exactly in this update. The page I found is vague. The information they leave for the average consumer is always vague.
If no one knows, can anyone lead me to where I can find more information about this particular update?
So that leaves me at this point. If I install this update will it limit my options as for Odin, custom firmware, etc?
So all that Samsung tells me can be found here: http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-N950U1/ATT/doc.html
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. It is always appreciated.
Have not seen any issue's so far on this OTA.
Head over to sammobile dot com, to read more.
In short:
"In addition to the November security patch, the update brings improved performance in the Calendar, Gallery, Voice Recorder, and Reminder apps, a new secure Wi-Fi function, and a fix for an unexplained Samsung DeX error. The firmware version is N950FXXU1BQK6, and at upwards of 840 MB, is among the biggest OTA updates that don’t bring a major Android version upgrade that we have seen"
Safe? It will, at least temporarily, block any attempt at root. If you're running a Substratum theme, it's best to uninstall it before running the update, based on the experience of those who got the October update. Do not reinstall apps that were backed up while running the theme.
Thank you. I am going to Sammobile right now to read more about it.

Is it designed to block rooting?
Can you still do the WiFi hotspot trick. Where you try to sing into a hotspot with wrong password then turn on hotspot and quickly turn off WiFi. Can't live without that.

Thank you for explaining. I was wondering if I would be able to rollback to original stock firmware after updating.
How can I get rid of this update and block all future OTAs?
This update is just sitting somewhere in my phone waiting for me to hit that button. What do I do, boot into factory tech mode and clear the cache or something?

Not 100% sure to be honest, but you can maybe try disabling security updates in settings/security menu or maybe disabling/freezing "software update" through an app like TitaniumBackup.

That's what I'm trying to hold out for. I have not as of yet experienced any glitches or problems of any kind so I don't see why an update is justified. Just give us Oreo!!! It should've been pre-built into the Note8.

Took the update. So far so good. OpenVPN and MS RDP working fine as usual. I was a bit worried as I've read reports of updates screwing up WiFi. I've recently tried these apps on three new Samsung devices and had disconnect issues with all. Oddly, one was a dex using Ethernet - maybe this will fix that, I'll test it. Btw the other devices were a Chromebook pro and a galaxy tab a.

Help needed with new phone

Hello
Just got myself a new piece today. I'm afraid to do anything wrong and afraid to use without installing a new ROM myself.
I have read on different forums that when you buy a global version they are often infested with malware and you have to do af fastboot update to remove it all.
I haven't powered the device up yet because I want to do things right the first time.
My intention is to have the newest official stable global rom on the phone. I just not sure which step i need to take.
If a helpful soul could advice me I would really really appriciate that I have found several guide but I need to know the exact right steps. It is okay if you link to a step by step guide.
Here are links that I would go with, but I'm not sure if I need to unlock and if I have to wait for 2 weeks to be approved or if there is a quicker way

Hello welcome to the yard. ?
If you're still afraid of beginning with all these great guides, better do not power on though.
Sent from my lithium using XDA Labs
Well eventually I will have to power it on - won't I
I'm not affraid to use these guides or some other detailed step by step procedure. I'm just a little confused about the order and if these guides can be used if I want newest official global stabel ROM. I guess It is more the steps than what you do in the steps - hope it makes sense
Charlie Kilo
You'll have to get it powered up and registered. Xiaomi impose a 3 day embargo on you where you cannot unlock the bootloader, I'd at least get that timer ticking away and then apply to unlock it asap.
Then you need to install TWRP. I recommend searching for the Mr Raine's version.
Pick a ROM and then off you go!

Think they're trying to scare you, just look about phone check ROM number to see if it matches 1 of Xiaomi official ROM. I had vendor ROM and my house hasn't been stolen, just don't turn you're data on.

A fastboot update wouldn't remove anything that's on the device. As it sounds, it would just perform an update.
As others stated, you should get it powered on & start the unlock process through Xiaomi. You don't need to sign into your Google account, so the only thing they would have access to is the Xiaomi account you register with.
After you are able to unlock the device, get a custom recovery (TWRP) installed. You may need to try a few different ones, i.e.: The "official" one doesn't have the touchscreen when booted into it.
From there, choose a ROM, flash, & you're good to go.

Thanks for the help so far and good advices.
Update of the situation is that I powered the beauty up. I could see that it took me through the entire setup phase from the beginning like it is normal for a brand new and untouched phone. Shortly after it was updated twice via OTA and is now on the newest official global ROM.
Everything is working perfect and I am extremely happy with the phone.
Two days ago I requested Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader as I would like to root the phone.

Let me know how it goes when you do, & what you end up flashing. I'm done the latest MIUI Beta & now the Pixel Experience 8.1 ROM, & I keep losing voice call server. Looks like I can still text, but no outgoing or incoming calls. I'm running on Project Fi too. With all these issues, I'm considering a switch to the Essential Phone. Arriving today for me to test out.
