I'd like to get a lenovo vibe shot, someone locally is selling one and has the following build
VIBEUI_V3.1_1625_5.396.1_ST_Z90-7.
Can anyone confirm if this rom/build the Google play store and all play services work propely?
The seller says play store and stuff works as it should, he bought in China and flashed the rom himself, but I've seen comments on here saying that that is a china stable rom and Google not working.
I am in UK.
Google services are working good on that rom, that is china build so he installed either through custom recovery or with apk, it should be working just fine. That is stable, last china MM build...

Hi
I want to buy a chinese Mate 20 X but i read on alyexpress this :
"Because the Google company prohibit the user installing GMS by themselves,for chinese firmware, after upgrading to EMUI9.0 (Android 9.0), the Google Play services will stop working,we suggest you don`t update the new firmware to EMUI 9.0 (Andoird 9.0)..or choose Global Firmware,Global firmware no problem."
Does it mean i can t have Gapp with android 9 on chinese version ?
Can i change firmware to global version ? if i can i need to unlock bootloader i presume ?
Thx

Rubbish
Google is working on China and global version.
China version stick with China region on setup in appgallery, then search for Google play, it'll show up, then update it. For some annoying reason it's installed but hidden it china mate 20 X version
Maybe OK Google won't work properly on China version. That's about it really
so why they write this thing ??? if we can udpate to android 9 and playstore works fine ?
Im using chinese mate 20 X phone. Every Huawei phones has gms by default. There is no need to install anything. Just login in your Google account from settings thats it

Buddy, mate 20x default comes with Android 9.0 (Pie); EMUI 9 buy Chinese ROM if you have the patience to do a lot of modifications etc..
else, please buy the international variant and use it as out of the box.

Mate 20X isn't Honor 8x!! I have the China version 20x (EVR-AL00) and as stated earlier it comes with EMUI 9.0.0 pre-installed and had to install playstore via Huawei's app store then install thw Google apps I wanted. And everything worked. That was before I unlocked the bootloader (jumped on getting a code early and before code db got closed) and have been running globalized custom rom ever since. Now Ressurrection Remix rom just released this morning for 20x and will give this amazing phone the AOSP support it deserves.

Someone said that the GMS has been installed in expensive phone of Huawai, such like mate20,p20.... . But not for the cheap phone - honor 8x. So Mate 20x can install google play directly.
My honor 8x /emui 8.2 can install google play after I installed the GMS . But I can't find the GMS installer for emui 9.0.

I think you can't unlock bootloader. So no root and no custom ROM for you. But you can debloat stock ROM and install many apps that are similar to /e/. No way for microG. Instead of play store i recommend f-droid and aurora store.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...ersal-android-debloater-t4069209/post82054575
will anyone with technology clout confirm it cant root or custom rom?
Yes, there are no custom ROMs, nor will there ever be. I would stay away from Huawei in general, especially anything with a trailing nominal like, "Lite". If you can't afford a phone with higher specs, buy one that is a year old. Something like the Xiaomi Mi Mix series, in which the Mi Mix 2s already have Android 11 ROM's available.
I personally have the Mi Mix 3 5G, in which I paid only $250 for a brand new, sealed in box phone containing a QUALCOMM 855, 8GB RAM, 128GB ROM. Not just that but it is extremely easy to unlock and install custom ROM's onto.
In fact, they're probably one of the easiest to modify phones I have ever used.
hey guys,
since i successfully flashed my Mi Pad 5 from CN to Global Rom a new problem occured.
I lost the google play protect status and cant install apps like netflix via the playstore. manual way with apk download works fine.
is there any possibility to get the google play protect status again?
tried different methods from google instructions but they didnt work.
my bootloader is still unlocked - is this the problem? its not rooted
thx
Hi,
I had the same problem and I learned that it's a problem you have to live with if you wanna use the global ROM.
Google Play certification and Netflix DRM require the bootloader to be locked BUT if you the bootloader is locked, the global ROM won't boot on a China device.
BE CAREFUL! If you unlink your Mi account and lock the bootloader while using the global ROM, you won't be able to unlock the bootloader easily, essentially bricking the device.
In my case, I went back to the China ROM since I bought the tablet mainly to watch Netflix.
It's true some features are missing on the Chinese ROM (like Google Assistant) and I still have some Chinese text in "Search" but Netflix works perfectly and I use my phone as my daily driver so I don't really need the missing features on Xiaomi Pad 5.
My suggestion is to flash back to China ROM and stay with it. Make sure you still have your Mi account linked to the device to avoid any bricking.

But does Netflix stream in HD?
Im have Mipad5 pro, and it can only stream in SD, same with Amazon Prime Video.
I also switched from CN to global. No issies but Google not certified.
I installed the latest October update and Google is certified now.
Installed latest netflix apk from apkmirror and its streaming in HD

i'm considering to buy the mipad from aliexpress. it's the chinese device with either chinese or global rom. i don't know which one to chose. i don't mind that the firmware will be in english, but i use hebrew in the apps. can you share regarding the differences between the two roms?

Are you sure? So its safe to buy the Chinese device with global rom and just update it and itll get google certified? Seems too good to be true. The open bootloader isnt a problem?
I cant tell you what decision to make, only what worked for me. Open bootloader is not a problem.

Thank you. I really dont understand anything in this regard. Is there any chance that your device doesnt have the firmware found on a Chinese device with global rom from aliexpress? (so your experience might not be relevant here)
hi all newbie here i just got a Mi pad 5 from aliexpress chinese version but with global rom installed
Netflix dont work - how do i get this operatng - i uninstalled netflix and now the app doesnt appear on google play..
any help appreciated.
I have the EU version, bought in 2022, and Netflix doesn't work either.
And on the Mi 10T Pro it doesn't work either, nor can I install the APP because it doesn't appear on Google Play.
I bought Pad 5 from Amazon Spain (Amazon was the seller), and no issues with Netflix not showing up in Play Store or L1 certification.
I know no help to the problem but just wanted to chime in.
RKXEUXM 12.5.8.0
My Pad 5 has ROM 12.5.80(RJGEUXM)
I wonder was it bought from a seller that flashed a Global Rom (EU) on it, Homero2, compared to an "official" seller like Amazon?
Not saying that is the issue, but more wondering if it might be.

I bought it through Aliexpress Plaza.
I am downloading the ROM that yours has, once flashed I comment
Edit:
I have flashed with the RKXEUXM 12.5.8.0 ROM, and now Netflix works.
Thanks for the reference Atheosun
Edit 2:
Error, once identified, it asks me to update, and Google Play says that the APP is no longer compatible with my system
Edit 3:
I have already discovered the problem, having the bootloader open Netflix does not work, I have closed the bootloader and problem solved
Thank you for replying Homero2.
Glad you got it working.
So i wonder was it the bootloader being unlocked was the root cause and not the flashing of the EEA Rom?, or maybe both?
Just to help anyone who searches and finds this thread.
L1 certification working OK after flashing the EEA rom?
I have a bootloader unlocked and rooted Chinese Pad 5 running global V12.5.11.0.RKXMIXM.
I have both Widevine L1 and Netflix L1/HDR.
Hi guys, how are you?
I've tried a few things here, but I'm running out of ideas.
I have a Mi9 Explorer Edition. This is a phone that no longer receives updates from Xiaomi, and I rely on the people from this forum and Telegram to update it. I'm using version V14.0.23.5.8.DEV. This ROM comes with a lot of Chinese stuff and is built on top of a Chinese ROM.
I removed several apps that come with the ROM and installed Google Play Store (although I couldn't get it verified).
I tried the standard installation, but I couldn't. I tried via Samsung Health, but I couldn't. I tried via Chinese Wear OS and couldn't.
Question: Does it need to have the Play Store verified? If I get a Global ROM, is it likely to have more success?
Thanks.
