Hi, it wouldn't surprise me if this has already been answered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it.
I want to upgrade my P7 because all my music apps just stop at random. I assume it's a firmware problem. It happens with internet radios, Spotify both online and offline etc. I also need to root my phone to get rid of unneeded system apps and prevent apps like Swype from reading my location all the time (google "Swype location requests").
Rooting seems to be straightforward, but will OTA upgrades work afterwards?
EMUI 2.3
Build number P7-L10V100R001C00B133SP01
Custom Version CUSTC432D133SP01
I'm in Norway, if that matters
From someone that had the root before, OTA won't work. You would have to force the update. I'm on 609 and it works perfectly well (well ... I don't use the basic music app as it has some weird characters recognition and it doesn't have a "genre" tab, but Rocket Player doesn't stop randomly and it did when I was on 133, so I guess the update solved the problem). You can still upgrade and root again.
A question which might be out of subject but, what do you use to get rid of the apps and what are the apps that are not dangerous to get rid of?
thanks a lot!
Thanks! I'll look for the procedure on flashing new firmware and rooting it again, I am a little worried about flashing the wrong files and getting a chinese phone
I'll probably use Root Uninstaller to get rid of the weather and music apps, the bundled web browser, Hangouts and stuff like that. If I remember correctly, Root Uninstaller warns you against uninstalling essential system apps. But most importantly I need to be able to keep apps from leaking private data.
So the plan is to first force an upgrade, assuming there is one for my region, then root.
Hi
Samsung galaxy tab 8.9 P7300
I was working with a 4.44 rom and some days ago began popping up of "google play services has stopped".
I tried all procedure find on internet (clear cache/data of google play service, framework, google play...)
I reinstalled the rom 4.44 and tried new rom 7.1 with opengapps (nano/pico) with this sequence:
From twrp
clear data/system/cache/dalvik
Install rom+gapps
clear cache dalvik
reboot
and
SAME PROBLEM!
google play service version
10.2.98 430
help!
EDIT:
My workaround
Rom Android 7.1.1
Opengapps ver. 20170119 version (Google Play service ver. 10.0.84)
After automatic update, "disable" Google Play service and, automatically, restore ver. 10.0.84)
Disable system update on developer menù (waiting Google fix... hope)
Hi derekz2,
I spent the whole day yesterday dealing with the same issue as you do, but so far no luck, until now I have not been able to get it working. I tried Android versions 5.1.1, 6.0, 7.1.1 (different ROMs), but all of them have the same issue with Google Play services. I tried more gapps I found here, not just opengapps, but also some others that were meant to be used with that ROM (according to ROM's authors), but again, nothing helped. I also followed many suggestions I found online, still nothing. Recently I tried not to install gapps from recovery, I tried to download Google Play services from the web (I tried also older version 10.2.97) and install it manually, but the problem is still there. It seems that Google Play services somehow stopped being supported by this hardware, or I do not know... I will continue my troubleshooting further, but at the moment, I am also helpless and I would like to ask anyone for a help as well...
Thanks.
The 10.2.98 updated Play Services package is not woking for KitKat (4.4.x). Remove It and reinstall the last working package - the 10.0.84 for KK. And do uncheck Autoupdate in Play Market, or Android OS will download and install the 10.2.98 again.
Shame on Google for this "work"!

I think the same thing but is strange... it seems a decision too bad.
Now I try old version of gapps and without autoupdate the tablet can live but many apps want recent version of GPS...

well, so far it seems that Google has done something in the latest GPS versions that is causing problems not just to us with this tablet, but to many different people on different platforms. Therefore, I believe/hope that Google will fix it soon... Anyway, try to check this thread, people are discussing GPS issue and trying different things to solve it. Let me know if something helps for you, I do not believe I will have time to test it myself today...
Thanks Skubko
The last Opengapps that is ok for 7.1 roms is 20170119 version (gps ver. 10.0.84), disable autoupdate and hope Google fix...

yes, I am planning to do that as a next step. For 6.0 ROM anyway, but also version 10.0.84, that should do the trick.. will see if other google application will want to work with older GPS and for how long... Also, I believe that once I connect to the internet afterwards, GPS will be automatically updated to the latest version (I do not think autoupdate option in google play will make any difference for GPS application)...
try to disable system update on developer menu of Android. (I see it on 7.1 version, don't know if present in previous versions)

Well, I do have a working tablet again, but unfortunately don't have an exact procedure documented for a fix. I found a couple different threads online where other platforms are having the same issue and it has been tracked down to the latest play services using NEON instructions that are not supported by the older Tegra platform. And, as it's been over a month now, it's not clear if it will be fixed.
The basics of getting things working are to have file manager with root access available to you without wifi. It's possible that exactly what folders need to be created in /data/app/ depends on your Android version. I am working with the latest 7.1.1 build and all instruction I saw to create a folder named com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk did not work. At least not by themselves...on my successful attempt, I created them still, but also created a folder com.google.android.gms-1 as that is where the update came down on my system...so I deleted the existed folder of that name and created an empty one. Again, I don't have an exact procedure...but I will line out some steps that might help someone...
Have working, rooted 7.1.1 install.
Download opengapps from 20170119, phh superuser apk, root file explorer apk.
Factory reset in recovery, install opengapps, wipe cache again for giggles.
Go through setup without setting up wifi, install phh, install root file explorer.
Create folder /data/app/com.google.android.gms-1...maybe the other 2 mentioned above also.
Enable wifi and continue with life. You will have to sideload older versions of some google apps. The latest Google Maps wouldn't work for me...I just searched for the last version before that magic Jan 19th date...that seems to be working fine.
Caveat to this is that this is not exactly what I did to get things working...it is what I think should work. I was actually trying to follow another post that was trying to use a system app remover app to downgrade the google play services...never could get it to work...but stumbled upon something that did work...so I'll lay out those steps...
Have working, rooted 7.1.1 install that has crashing google play services.
Disable wifi
Create the folders mentioned above in /data/app.
Go to Settings->Apps->Google Play Services->Disable. This allowed me to roll back the install of the latest Google play services.
In my case it rolled back to the very previous version..because that is the version I installed from opengapps in recovery...it might roll back to whatever was originally flashed. In that case you can find a 10.0.84 google play services apk...I could never get it to install on mine...but that might have been because I already had a newer version when I was attempting to install.
Enable wifi and possibly sideload some stuff like above...
So, for other Android versions, steps should be similar...perhaps that's when the folders ending in apk will come into play. If there was a reasonably priced >8.5" and <9.5" tablet...preferably with 16:10 aspect ratio and higher pixel density than the Galaxy Tab 8.9 I would buy it...unfortunately such a device doesn't exist. May look into a used Nexus 9...until then it appears I am at least stable again...
Thx guys for your feedback here! Got same problem, that google services stopped working and my tab is crashing nonstop... Its unusable but i think a i will update to android latest rom for next 10 years
What version of play services do I need?
10.0.84 (???
beta version of Google Play Services (version 10.5.42) have resolved the Google Play Services issues.

How I spent an afternoon
I already tried aosp-5.1.1-p5wifi-20150513 with open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20170324 and again with open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20170119 as advised here, both resulting in the same bug
Then I installed aosp-6.0-p5wifi-20160131 with open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20170324 over TWRP resulting in the same "google play services has stopped" every few seconds
When I fully wiped the device, reinstalled the above aosp image and added open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20170119 from github, I had the same *** again
Then I decided to go "all-in" and first installed a new version of TWRP from here and followed the guide to install Android N from here and installed the google apps from here and SU from phh.
And it WORKED
Yay
PS: best use adb push to send the files to the device
PS2: you need to select the keyboard first upon entering the wifi credentials
yes, i get solution for that.....i remove google play service updates and registering to beta user, then it's update beta version 10.5.48 and that's works fine now
I am buying a unlocked note8. And I require root as a lot of my apps require it.... and it’s my understanding that I am going to need to stop the ota update in order to achieve root.
Can someone please tell me how to stop the ota update so I can root the device.
Hello,
Curious if are you going to run a custom rom or root and remove apps you don't want?

Which model do you have? Snapdragon?
Generally you can disable the software update using a Package Disabler from the Play Store, or freeze it using Titanium Backup once rooted. Simply turning off the update option in Settings will not work long-term, as it would eventually update anyways. That's why you need to disable or freeze it.
In developers options you can also turn off auto update system. Usually after you root OTA updates won't function anymore anyway after the device status changes to custom. Or does that not apply for US Snapdragons & SamFail?
Can I temporarily disable it just long enough so I can root. Via samfail
Yes, just go in settings - software updates, there change to download updates manually... Job done: nothing will be updated unless you initiate it yourself...
Can update be stopped without root?
Most package disablers are not working,dev option not working.
Have gone back to oreo from pie don't want be forced back onto pie.
I have a rooted Galaxy s10+ with android pie. Doesn't freezing "Software Update" system apps of my android by Titanium Backup make booting problems for my device? Is it safe for me to freeze those apps? I ask because I've heard freezing some system apps like "Device Care" stops the device from booting. As other fellas I get ota update notifications and I wanna get rid of them by freezing those apps.

I am disabling apps with a package disabler for them to still keep updating! So I have gone back to the method of disabling apps via ADB (no root needed this way)
It uninstalls it for the current user, but a factory reset will bring the app back if so needed. You can uninstall the update app with this method, or any other app for that matter. (Just be careful with what you disable)

Just to confirm success, I have P40 Pro updated to latest firmware 11.0.0.223 and working GMS. For half of the day now, installing everything I want.
First i did FW downgrade to 10.1.0.131 and applying lzplay manually (you can use Goglefier, same result) using this great guide
Then used OTA updates to get phone to latest available FW which was I think 11.0.0.198. Then used official HiSuite to apply three more updates to end with 11.0.0.223
Then I followed this latest guide to fix GMS. I did one additional trick - disabling internet during whole process. What I learned during first try is that when you apply fixes (mainly downgrading GMS), phone sometimes manages to uprate these back. Because Play Store is by default set to update automatically. And it messes whole proces leaving you with idea that it doesnt work. It works fine, you just need to have correct versions of GMS modules.
After finishing with video guide, I enabled internet for brief moment to load Play store. As soon as it is loaded just disable internet again. Go to settings of Play Store and in Settings > Network Preferences set Auto-update apps to Dont auto-update apps. Which hopefully stops GMS updates in background. And keeps them running till Google finds out and makes updates enforced in next version regardless of auto-update settings...
UPDATE after week of using phone: GMS hacked in phone worked, but notifications coming through Google push services did not. I tried few available solutions but none of these did the job. At the end I used Ilham solution provided by Badmania98 in his thread. And it is working for over week now without any glitches. Notifications coming through. There are some minor issues like Gmain dark mode not working, but nothing gamebreaking. Cheers to Badmania98 for his help!
UPDATE2 Tried to downgrade through Hisuite proxy, using 10.0.1.100_OVE and it keeps failing after download. Says just Update failed. I hope that I identified properly my phone according to guide
Base sw ver ELS-LGRP4-OVS 11.0.0.223
Preload sw ver ELS-N29-PRELOAD 11.0.0.3(C432R5)
Cust software (C432)
Tried to downgrade to
Emui 10 .131 - fails without downloading
Emui 11 .151, .168, .186 - fails after download just by msg Update failed
Is Hisuite 10.0.1.100_OVE version enough to process Emui 11 firmwares?
UPDATE3 So Hisuite 10.0.1.100_OVE cant downgrade to Emui 10 from 11 according to this post by author of Hisuite Proxy. By using latest version of Proxy from author website and by selecting fw 11.0.0.151 I got it working and downgrading from .223 to .151 - now I hope it will be possible to go down to Emui 10 by official Hisuite.
Slowly progressing back to beginning
UPDATE4 sooo after successfully flashing with recommended HiSuite 10.1.0.550 and latest Proxy to fw 11.0.0.151 I ended up in eRecovery mode automatically downloading 11.0.0.202 through wifi. Hope it will work else I have softbricked phone...
Same issue for me too, spend my whole sunday to find a way but nothing works it seems…
Contact @badmania98.
UPDATE5 WiFi eRecovery worked like charm upgrading to .208
Seems that using latest proxy and hisuite to downgrade should work, confirmed by ProfessorJTJ. I just forgot to set proxy to rollback os option. It should be enough to "Wipe cache & data from erecovery" to boot .151
Trying again with downloaded .168 - too lazy to wait again for .151 to download (it got deleted by hisuite after update). We will see... and it worked fine. Selecting rollback os option added factory reset after installation and phone booted .168 just fine.

Don't worry this has nothing to do with your system update, this is something else. This is a new security check added by Google in their fight against unofficial GMS installations. It would have happened even if you didn't update your system. Actually it is happening to EMUI10 users too so....

Guys, you are doing it totally wrong. There is NO NEED TO DOWNGRADE your system software if you already have GMS installed. This has nothing to do with your system software version and you don't actually have to re-trigger the GMS installation (rights elevation/lzplay) exploit.
You just need to fix your Play certificate to stop those annoying play protect messages.
Yes, they added additional verifications. Yes, that was probably targeted against this hack, among others.
What you need is simply to download this pack:
Install Google Play Store by ICTFIX.net
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
www.mediafire.com
And then uninstall Google Play Services
then install this one: 7-GSM Play Protect certified Fix.apk
Then reboot
And the spam notifications should be gone.
Replacing Google Play Services with this app will force-regenerate your Play certificate,
and this version of Google Play Services does not have the problematic check in question.
Still you should NOT update Google Play Services as the latest version DOES have the check that will trigger this event again.
You do NOT NEED to install anything else from this pack.
Actually you could reupload this with only this file present.

Yes, it is missing that option. It is not supported anymore, and if you force it, you WILL HAVE PROBLEMS.
If you REALLY want to downgrade you can use HiSuiteProxy and an older version of HiSuite. However I don't recommend this for 3 reasons:
- it is unneccessary
- it is dangerous. You WILL lose USB connectivity after the upgrade, and you can only regain it when you update again to the latest system software version. And you can only do it with OTA.
- You can very easily brick your phone if you use HiSuiteProxy as it bypasses many of the firmware validation checks
+1 Huawei is changing things around with the latest HiSuite. Older versions will not work for software updates/downgrades for much longer.

Of course it keeps failing. 10.0.1.100 is NOT USABLE anymore. Bender007 is too lazy to update it in his guide. You need a different version 10.0.1.550 (grab it here https://github.com/ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy/releases/download/2.3.5/Hisuite_10.1.0.550_OVE.zip ) this one works for HiSuiteProxy and EMUI 11 tested up to 11.0.0.203.
However I would highly recommend AGAINST downgrading as it is dangerous and completely unneccessary if you already have GMS installed. It doesn't matter if you have the play protect error message or not, you can fix that without downgrading. There is only one case when you need to downgrade and that is if you don't have google apps installed at all.

You messed it up. YOu should have gone directly to EMUI 10 using proxy. 11.0.0.151 is not suitable for downgrades, it is not a rollbackable firmware.

You will if you keep jumping corners. Don't try to experiment, this is dangerous enough already.
Once again, if you have Google apps installed already, then it is absolutely UNNECCESSARY TO DOWNGRADE YOUR SYSTEM SOFTWARE. You can fix play protect errors very easily by just replacing an app on your phone. Why you guys would want to go through the whole downgrade process all over again is something I don't get. But, whatever you prefer
Thanks for great explanation, hands down! Meanwhile I managed to directly downgrade phone to 10.1.0.131 and lzplay it and now going up through fw updates. Next time I will focus directly on fixing GMS, geting bit more experienced with this every step
You're welcome! Enjoy the experience and remember: keep it calm!
YOu can fix almost ALL issues that can arise with GMS without ever downgrading again. This is because the only thing you really need the downgrade for is to enable elevated privileges for the google apps (this is what that weird lzplay app does) and you only need to do that once.
The only thing you shouldn't do is a factory data reset as it would obviously wipe away these permissions too, in which case you would have to do a downgrade, but not in any other case.
Play protect certificates keep getting invalidated from time to time, because Google is stepping up their mechanism. But see, the scene already has fixes for it. And in this case you just need to replace an app.
Of course now, that you're doing a full downgrade+upgrade, and doing all the Googlefier stuff again, make double sure that you launched LZPLAY app as soon as it was installed as you can only do that on old versions of EMUI10. Once lzplay is loaded and given the special permissions it asks for, and googlefier having completed all of its steps, you're good to update
But don't ever update Google Play Services as that seems to be what is breaking the Google Play certificates, causing the error messages. If you did update it anyway, you can use 7-GSM Play Protect certified Fix.apk from this pack link to fix it.
First uninstall Google Play Services then install this replacement app.
Just to confirm success, I have P40 Pro updated to latest firmware 11.0.0.223 and working GMS. For half of the day now, installing everything I want.

I got this error device not Play Store Licensed/Approved...
This fixed my issue on p40 pro, els-n29 c432r5, emui 11.0.150
Thank you!
Found out more stuff now. Unfortunately run into problem with not working push notifications - at least some of them. Gmail is not syncing at all, I have to manually pull down to get new emails. And so it wont show notifications for new emails. But for example Messenger Lite sometimes works. Sometimes not.
Tried first push notification fix option from this post - with ADB commands. And ended up with no GSF ID, so Play store stop working and I had to go again through this latest guide to fix GMS. No idea why I didnt get new GSF ID after restart, but tried few times and still same result.
Dont want to try second option with freezing GSF as I would like to have working Play store.
Thinking about payed third

Of course it keeps failing. 10.0.1.100 is NOT USABLE anymore. Bender007 is too lazy to update it in his guide. You need a different version 10.0.1.550 (grab it here https://github.com/ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy/releases/download/2.3.5/Hisuite_10.1.0.550_OVE.zip ) this one works for HiSuiteProxy and EMUI 11 tested up to 11.0.0.203.
However I would highly recommend AGAINST downgrading as it is dangerous and completely unneccessary if you already have GMS installed. It doesn't matter if you have the play protect error message or not, you can fix that without downgrading. There is only one case when you need to downgrade and that is if you don't have google apps installed at all.
My version info , The config I needed . Your phone model and build is identical to me. Preload (R4/R5/R6) does not matter, as it only differs in preinstalled apps. You can use the packs from huaweifirmware that I have in the pictures.
Go with 10.1.0.121 , select the combination I have above, and most of all: use 10.0.1.550 for it.
No. You need 10.0.1.550 for downgrades.
You can do it but you won't have USB.
You messed it up. YOu should have gone directly to EMUI 10 using proxy. 11.0.0.151 is not suitable for downgrades, it is not a rollbackable firmware. Now your only option is for eRecovery to fix it for you as you wouldn't have USB anyway. So you go to the latest version of EMUI 11 and THEN directly go down to EMUI 10, 10.1.0.121.
You will if you keep jumping corners. Don't try to experiment, this is dangerous enough already.
Once again, if you have Google apps installed already, then it is absolutely UNNECCESSARY TO DOWNGRADE YOUR SYSTEM SOFTWARE. You can fix play protect errors very easily by just replacing an app on your phone. Why you guys would want to go through the whole downgrade process all over again is something I don't get. But, whatever you prefer

Thanks for detailed instructions but here’s the deal. I have a p40 pro with EMUI 11.0.0.202 loaded onboard. It’s been factory reseted. I need to downgrade to install gms on this device but could’nt downgrade with hisuite proxy. I used latest version mentioned above and use Hisuit 10.0.1.550, 11.0.0.151 and even latest version but it keeps downloading but on the phone when it starts verifying update and installing it stops and enter erevocery mode.
I am doing exactly as you mentioned and searched for several threads, but nothing helped.
What should I do now?
Thanks for support
Use this guide
worked like charm, directly from latest emui 11 to 10.1.0.131

GMail real-time notifications and sync will not work, no matter what you do. You can force it to manually refresh more often with MacroDroid but this will drain your battery. I suggest you find a different email app that has push imap, for instance BLueMail can do this with gmail accounts.

You can try the patched Google play services app that is in my previous post, to generate a new GSF ID.

Then you need to regenerate a GSF ID. YOu don't need to do the whole process again, but you need to replace APK files. Use the patched Google Play Services app that is in my previous post, and reboot after it is installed. If it doesn't fix it then you need the full ictfix package as per the video. But STILL you don't need to downgrade.(in most cases)

First, let it do erecovery, maybe you messed it up already. erecovery may be able to fix it to give you a clean start. You WILL want a clean start or you're risking a brick.
Then when it is done, use HiSuite 10.0.1.550 and select the proper firmware combo from Hisuiteproxy and huaweifirmware, as obivously you're using the wrong ones. Oh and don't forget to check "ROLLBACK OS"

Hi again,
watch the video you've sent and did exactly what he says, at the end I got software install failed screen.
I am also sending you veneer info, and the rom, cust and preload I choose.
And also checked roll back OS option.
Hope you can help me..
I am so close to throw this phone away
I went down to 10.1.0.131 because of LZ Play install. It wont work in 10.1.0.176...
Other than that everything seems to me fine, cust/preload are selected correctly.
Hello, after upgrading to version 10.131 I lost my fast charging and connection to my computer. According to the guide, I updated by erecovery to version only 10.176. I can't upload a newer version in any way. Huawei p40 pro
Use Huawei Support app or My Huawei if it is updated, it should offer update by OTA. At least it did to me without problems...
