Hello
I'm in deep need for help...
I've been trying to get Google Play on my RM-1030 059V6Q2 (PL) 1.2.3.1 Nokia XL phone. Because my version was too high I tried flashing with an older rom... version 1.1.0.6... I can't remember the code of the 1.1.0.6, but I think it was 059V6Q2. no success in doing anything. So then I flashed with "RM-1030 NDT IMEA QA (059V6S3) (version 1.1.2.2)". Thing is that now I get a lot of errors that launcher and a ton of other apps stopped working. It's nearly unusable. This happens mostly when I reboot the phone. I tried putting 1.1.1.0 for 059V6Q2 and also managed to root and get google play. But I don't understand why this errors still coming up after flashing with the right ROM??? Plus that the update option says there are no new updates, but when I previously had this ROM, the update was available. I don't know what to do, please help... It's so time consuming to work with this phone and also find anything useful on the internet.
Bottom line after I put a room that doesn't belong to my phone I started getting errors and they didn't get fixed after I changed back to my initial rom.
EDIT: I managed to get a version that doesnt bugs... the data wipe and cache clearing solved the errors maybe? I also got Gplay working, but I can't find version 2.x anywhere. It's not even listed on navifirm for some reason. I had it before and want it, because it has many more options. Can someone help about this?

ok will try thank you
I'm not sure what to do here. I just got my Zenfone 2 (ze551ml/z00a) and noticed I had a notification for a system update and foolishly thought it would be no big deal to proceed to install it. I think it was on CM 12.1 previously and the update was for CM 13 but not sure but after it updated it axed pretty much all the apps that were on it including any Google services. Wouldn't be a big deal since the update was literally the first thing I've done with the phone after porting #/service---haven't imported contacts or anything---but I can't just download an APK of the Play store or Google services. I've tried this through APK downloads and through the Google installer app (which is in Chinese regardless of whether I got it off the xiaomi market or not). The results weren't much different with each attempt. I get either "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later" when trying to sign in when launching play store or""Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play services.", which I cannot do.
So I can't really do much of anything right now with the phone and really regret installing the CM update. I got Open Gapps but (x86, 6.0, full I think?) but I'm not sure what to do with it. I have experience rooting phones and have rooted my last two phones but I'm no expert when it comes to smartphones. I just want this phone to be usable again, I don't care whether I am using stock or cyanogenmod. How can I get Google services and alike to run is open gapps the solution or do I need to find some recovery rom to try to flash to? I've seen so many completely different solutions to this that I don't know where to go from here. I did a factory reset but that had no effect and the solutions I tried here thus far haven't worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you leave a bitcoin wallet address and your solution helps I'll gladly send you a tip for your efforts. Thanks!!
Have you tried reformatting, and flashing gapps and rom? The phone settings was likely tinkered.
What recovery have you got loaded ? If twrp which it should be , being on cm ? Cm 13.1 gets updates and notifications for updates , so download gapps for android 6 x86 ..boot into recovery and flash latest gapps .
What build number date etc ?

Not yet but I'm going to look up how to flash the gapps.

Not sure which recovery, it had like 6 grey square-ish buttons when I entered it last time. But when you say 'download gapps' you mean get Open Gapps right? I booted into recovery mode with the zip of it but didn't have a guide handy so I didn't mess with it. So I was on the right track it sounds like, I'll give that a shot with a guide and reply here with the results.

Don't have youtube or any google apps unfortunately, the update to CM 13 removed most of the apps.
Yes just head over to cm 13 for z00a if your device in " original android development section"? , and follow cm flashing instructions ,
What build number and date of build installed ?

I guess I got ahead of myself. I tried installing open gapps from recovery, looked like it worked so I wiped cache and after the phone started I just get a barrage of "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and 'play store has stopped" over and over again. So now I can't check what version I have but I know it was CM 13 and one of the latest three available nightly builds with android 6.0.1, I did try installing the 'official' google apps first but I got an error like "unable to update file" or something---guessing I should have tried unlocking the bootloader first? The official unlocker tool is an .apk so now thats off the table. But if this phone has TWRP on it then doesn't that mean the previous owner already unlocked it (I bought it used)? Should I try unlocking first or go straight to flashing CM13?
I'm assuming you are saying to get the CM 13 ROM for z00A from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen.../rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightly-builds-t3264492
I'll download that and give it a shot.
edit:
Do I want the .zip for CM13 (CM Build) or the recovery (.img) or both? screenshot. the guide isn't really clear. I'm going into recovery/TWRP to see if I can find out my version # of CM---I think its the version from 5/23 but I'm not sure
Well the guide is straight forward , you will have download new twrp and flash that for future updates to flash correctly , there are tonnes of threads to get you back up and running around here , take your time ..enjoy .
You say you cannot boot into system so put all files on SD card and select storage in twrp ..flash ROM ..gapps .. and latest twrp ..so you can back up at earliest instance
If any probs , try YouTube ..there's a few vids for flashing cm13 on zen 2

Updated TWRP to v3 first then flashed CM13 from the thread I linked above (the zip, not the img). along with the x86-nano version of opengapps. Worked perfectly. Wish I would have done that from the start instead of messing around with trying to get opengapps to work without the flashed CM and whatnot. Seems to be running perfect, got bunch of apps off play store already with no problem getting my contacts and other Google stuff.
Thanks for the pushes in the right direction!:good::good::good::good:
Now the ZF2 is starting to grow on me, got it instead of waiting for the HTC One A9 price to drop and I'm feeling like I made the right call.
Great news , better that you sorted it yourself .
Now save a back up on PC and keep forever lol just in case
I have had a problem loading Android Auto (AA) on my LG G4. I have rooted with Steadfaster's UsU and installed his Lineage 15.1 rom, opengapps nano (Sept 30) and the phone is working great. Prior to rooting the phone AA worked fine with MM 6.0. After rooting the phone, when I open the AA app on the phone I get the error "Something went wrong. Google play services doesn't seem to be working right now". The error comes up immediately and then the app closes. I tried plugged into in the car as well (Pioneer AVIC 4200 deck), but the error stops the phone when opened.
I have been through Google's forums and there have been lots of posts about this error and no real solutions for me posted. I have also tried other "fixes" I have come across, including this one - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832/. This method involves:
1. Download and install System App Remover from the Google Play Store.
2. Put your device in Airplane Mode in order to prevent auto upgrade of GPS.
3. Open System App Remover and select "System App" from the menu.
4. Find Google Play Services in the list. It should be marked "Should keep", which is a suggestion from the publisher. Select it and press "Uninstall". Ignore completion message.
5. Using Settings/Apps, verify that Google Play Services has reverted to the factory-supplied version. It should be <7. "Force Stop", "Uninstall Updates", and "Disable" buttons should no longer be grayed out.
7. Reboot device and toggle Airplane Mode off.
I followed these steps, but unfortunately stock seems to be the version that came with opengapps which is current.
I'm out of ideas with this problem and need some help. AA is a great app for me and really handy on long trips. I would like to get it running if at all possible.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

Even when it sounds obvious but have you installed AA clean so without restoring data from a backup? Do you have tried to completely factory reset the phone? Do you have tried to format data in TWRP? Obviously you should have a backup of your internal storage when doing so .
You should also catch a logcat when starting the app

After rooting with UsU I followed sdembiske's recommendations for installing Lineage. This included a factory reset and formatting data with TWRP. I then installed Lineage 15.1 UsU and opengapps nano and then installed the apps I wanted. AA went on clean without restoring data. I will capture a logcat and post.

I have been through that forum and tried the last post just now - uninstall updates, clear cache, open AA - and I immediately get the error.
I'm thinking about doing a Titanium backup on apps and data (minus AA) then wipe, reinstall LOS 15.2, TWRP, Lineage SU, do a reboot, reinstall AA first and if it works then run Titanium restore for apps and data.
Make sense?

Well I wiped cache, Dalvik, system and then formatted data, installed the 15.1 UsU rom, then installed Gapps, rebooted to recovery and installed the Lineage addonsu. I rebooted, went through setup and the first thing I did was open the Playstore install Android Auto and run it - immediate error again. Also the addonsu did not root the phone. And to top it all I did not disable the pin code.
Back to the drawing board.

I have been beating the bushes and looking for a solution. None so far. You mention AA worked on your phone. Are you running LOS 15.1 and if no, which rom? Also re your install can you look in apps and notifications and see if the more options * is shown on the AA app. I have it, but when I select it nothing happens. My old Nexus 5 the * works and Android Auto opens no problem. LOS 7.1.2.

I run LOS 15.1 build 20181002 and at the time of installing that ROM version I used this opengapps version: open_gapps-arm64-8.1-nano-20180705.zip (download)
AA works here yes. I run it now for several days, daily, no issues here.
My version of AA is 3.7.584044 (attached: View attachment com.google.android.projection.gearhead-ffadc269cc39417e152ffcdd22183045.apk)
Not sure what you mean by "the more options *" but I've attached 2 screenshots of the app settings which may show what you meant.. if not show a pic of that setting.
oh you may meant the gear symbol at the top right? Here it opens fine but as that opens google stuff it makes sense that it fails on yours

Isn't mine basically the same as yours, other than H815? That gear icon will not open up the more options page. On my Nexus 5 with LOS 7.1.2 it opens a page with Settings for AA ie: Limit wifi, Connected cars, phone screen settings, etc.
If not the same maybe I should run your version of LOS.

I've mentioned and linked the opengapps version, attached the AA version and mentioned the exact build for a reason yes.
The idea was that you try the exact same setup.

H812 on the UsU Oreo build H812 build.
So I can copy what you have, other than I'm using the H812 versus the H815 LOS rom.
Thanks steadfasterX
steadfasterX, is it necessary that I format the data when I reload this rom. Takes a long time to restore everything.

Use my latest preview version of TWRP then you can backup your data AND internal storage . you can first try without format. if you still have issues try to format it and if it doesn't fix anything you can restore by TWRP but ensure that you use build 144 or higher

OK, thanks again. Will give it a go. I have your latest TWRP, 144_g4_0.
On the positive side after all kinds of failed troubleshooting my G4 has all of a sudden decided to connect with my PC. It shows as H812 in Explorer and in Device Manager as Lemobile Android Device with Android Composite ADB Device driver. A lot easier than using Cloud.

Gave it a go, but as soon as I tapped on AA the error came up. I did format data to start from clean and used the older versions of AA and Google Play.
Update - I reinstalled all my apps via Titanium Pro (not AA) and set things up. I decided to tryy AA one more time before removing it and bingo it opened. Kinda waking on broken glass here and unsure whether or not the app will continue to function. Hooefully this fixed things.
Thanks again steadfasterX.
Hi. My Matepad is BAH3-L09 and I was not able to install Google Play on it as I keep receiving "LZPlay not support" in Chinese language. I tried several top instructions on YouTube, but none works. Anyone managed to install it on your Matepad?
Same Problem here, BAH3-W09

Unfortunately the lila g app itself doesn't work on the Matepad 10.4 version.
So no luck with those "install on every device" videos.
Seems to be the same with the P40 Lite 5G model

I hope so, too.
Don't know yet, why it is not supported.
At the moment you can't really find anything about it on the internet.
I've got Gapps installed on my P40 Pro. For a mobile phone, I think it is required.
On the tablet however, i think its more a nice to have than really necessary.
Furthermore, I wrote to Amazon Video, Netflix and Disney+ support and all of them said that "they are working on it"
So fingers crossed that HQ Streaming of those services will be available.
Although Disney+ does Stream in 1080p without Widvine L1.
Edit: Found an article about the problem. https://www.justandroid.net/2020/07...ernative-solutions-also-affects-matepad-10-4/
I'm having the same issue installing on Matepad 10.4 WiFi (BAH3 W09). No method works, LZplay (G icon app) always gives the error button on opening and cant go any further. Tried replacing 'backup' app exactly as directed in a couple of videos, no luck.
Anyone got Google 7&Play to install on this model?
Looking into this I would guess Huawei have removed the 'stubs' in the system firmware that allowed the LZplay app to work in the first place (and allowed it to install the required stuff as system apps). If newer devices are being rolled out without those 'stubs' then we are out of luck as far any LZplay method goes.

I don't really know what the function of the "stubs" file is, but if it is removed, is it possible to add it back and then install LZPlay?

Actually, it isn't 'stubs', I got that wrong. It's an undocumented API that existed in the firmware/ROM that allows LZplay to install the google stuff as system apps (and they need that to work). If they have removed that API from affected models, and it looks like many new ones might be in the same boat going forward, then I cant see any way of a user restoring it.
If that is the case then the only way to get GMS/Play etc will be a new non LZPlay method (that seems unlikely given the system access required) or if the ban gets lifted and Huawei add it back in future firmware updates (not sure how likely that would be either). A shame, as this is a very nice tablet otherwise.
Another thing to note is this doesn't have a gyroscope either, though the spec sheets wrongly say it does.
I've only just got my Matepad 10.4 from the Huawei UK store, so I'm seriously thinking of sending it back in the 14 day window. I could live without GMS/Play, but it is annoying.
Just one workaround - you can install VMOS virtual machine. It is not perfect - they have just Android 5.1 and 7.1 images and of course you have to start the application, but it works.
Between the AppGallery and the VMOS I have all I need. And the Trump's stupid trade war just allowed me to get the top tablet cheaper than Huawei would sell it otherwise. Every cloud has a silver lining.
And one more solution - HiSuite enables (as of today, not sure for how long) to downgrade firmware. And LZPlay works on the older firmware.
Of cause - the downgrade will delete all data on the tablet.

Ive no problem erasing everything, but are you sure it will work on an older firmware? Do you have a link to that info at all?
Pretty sure the firmware mine came loaded with ended with 115. LZPlay didn't work with that and I have let it update since then to the latest version. I think the first version made for this tablet ended in 108 (can't see an earlier revision in a google search). I assume that's what the first models in early April would have shipped with. If LZPlay has never worked with this model though downgrading wont be any help.
It worked for my tablet which I bought a few days ago, but I now realize I have LTE version - so different model.
Still I guess the LZPlay problem may be similar. LZPlay does not fully work anywhere anymore. Even when it works, it fails to do its work on its own and has to be helped by manually installing things. I used https://youtu.be/pdgGkHEe7V4 .
My experience: After getting the tablet I updated it to the newest firmware and then tried to install GP. Bad luck. No device admin request from LZPlay, just small popup with two buttons in Chinese. I guess Huawei removed the API as written above. After downgrade through Hisuite (4.6GB download), LZPlay "worked" (it asked to be device admin and shown screen where it would have downloaded GP things if it had worked properly - though the downloads failed - I think that is normal). Then I went according to the describtion which was under the YouTube video. I had to redo installing of APKs twice (maybe I did not follow it perfectly first time) and I added Google account when starting Google Play Store (so not as described under that video), but it worked.
I was kind of confused by LZPlay for some time - the fact it fails to download etc is normal state of things. I guess it used to be one-click solution, but not any more. Still I guess that running it is essentiall to enable other steps to work.

I have the model MRX-AL09 with EMUI 10.0.1.177 - that is the downgraded version.
I was probably on 10.1.0.120 before - at least I think so, I did not write it down before downgrage

yes, now i have 10.1.0.121.
Ok, I’ll save the data and try to roll back the firmware.
Have you tried updating your tablet to the latest version after installing google services?
Hi
I was on Android 12 and signed in to the beta program 10 days ago.
I've noticed that APKs that were fine on Android 12 are not working anymore on Android 13 Beta.
APKs are crashing at opening.
I thought that may have been an issue related to the beta version of Android but couple of days ago Android 13 stable rolled out (I've signed out from the beta) but those apps are still not working.
I've found older APKs for a couple of apps and one works and one not.
How can I solve this without a factory reset?
Thank you in advance
What are the apps that are crashing? What does a logcat show when the app crashes?
Google introduced restrictions in A13 for side loaded apps. No longer can they use accessibility apis nor can they access notifications etc. Just speculation but if the apps you are using are old they may be crashing because of these changes.

You can bypass those restrictions by going to the app info page of the app and clicking on the 3 dot menu in top right corner.

Wasn't aware of this, thanks!
I don't have any issues with manually installed apks...
Hi, i have the same Problem with every sideloaded App.
There are no 3 dots in the right Corner.
I don't know exactly how to bypass Them
Waiting till the weekend to update, but what APKs are giving the error?

Do those apps need Accessibility and/or Notification Access permissions? If not, then I don't think the 3 dot menu needs to be there as it is only for those specific permissions (or whatever other permissions Google might add to the list in the future).
For example, I have Adaway installed but it doesn't have the 3 dot menu because it doesn't need either of those permissions. The same for App Manager.
I am really confused with this new "session-based install" security.
What are "session-based install" and "non-session-based install"
Play store app install --------- surly "session-based install" 100%.
3rd-party store install --------- is said also to be "session-based install".
Firefox download an apk --------- is said to be "non-session-based install",
But how the firefox different from a 3rd-party store????? a system white list something?
safetynet, selinux, forcing many settings, anti-rollback, non-store app restrictions.........
I enjoyed so much that google throws sht tons of troubles to billions of advanced users, to fight an enemy that may not even exist.
(how many people have their phone bootloader secretly unlocked remotely by a hacker and installed root malware, unknowingly?)
Gives a warning is good eg. bootloader locked warning is great IMO. But force the hands and keep finding ways to screw the advanced users as hard as they can, to get the "everything is under my control" status is the wrong path.
I read the news that malware devs have already found a way to bypass this restriction.
In the end, like many others, It achieved nothing, except giving trouble to advanced users and devs.
A global bypass must be also on the way, especially from China. Millions like 90% of APPs are not store-based in China since the google ban, and people are used to download apk from every companies' websites as we do on Windows PC.

3 APKs from the company I'm working for (not on PlayStore) 2 sideloaded apps, and a LADB signed sideloaded APK
For example you cut and CC cleaner keeps crashing all the time.
Same here. Almost every app not from Play Store keeps closing right on tap to start them.
Tried to sideload them per USB with full rights. Same.
My company apps that didn't come from the play store are opening without a problem
Thats Vers Strange, indeed.
Every sideloaded App, modded or Not does Not work
Thought it was me...this is bs!
What's the next step...start posting logs I assume?
It's not EVERY sideload for me but about 1 in 3 I'd say.
btw...I got an 'install failed' trying to install/flash the viper4android mod not realizing how old it was...now I'm seeing lotsa audio/sound related crap in logcat reader. If I AM 'currupt' somehow, will just a rom re-flash fix a magisk issue or do I need a full wipe?
Tia for any guidance offered!

Me too but looks like is some security thing from Android 13. I really hope that somebody finds a workaround soon or I'll have to switch back to 12

12 won't work right on the 13 bootloader, and you can't downgrade the bootloader.
When I initially tested flashing only the 13 bootloader on my Pixel 6 Pro, while still running Android 12, it booted fine, I unlocked the phone, and all looked normal. But I didn't launch apps, especially Chrome, YouTube, and plenty of other things. If I had, I would have noticed problems that others have had since then. It was since found that certain/many kinds of apps will not work right running on Android 12 when you have the 13 bootloader installed.
I know this above is not what this thread is discussing, but since you mentioned it, I just wanted to point out that if you're on any Pixel 6/Pro/a with Android 13's bootloader flashed, you won't be able to use stock Android 12 on it. You'll be able to flash everything but the bootloader, boot it up, and unlock it, but before long you would discover problems that you wouldn't be able to work around and would effectively make your phone unuseable for many things that we take for granted.
By the way, hopefully you have the 13 bootloader flashed to both slots. Having the 13 bootloader on only one slot is a little dangerous.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot --slot all flash bootloader bootloader.img
Guys, but are you talking of sideloaded apps, or apps installed as apk?
