seems like google blocked huawei phones. is it possible to change our phones into something else like samsung to bypass the login issue? or would that not work?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thklinge:
That would require an unlocked bootloader. And Huawei has stopped giving out unlock codes. Which is stupid in these Google-no-go-times.

[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thanito:
My device is having a fully working playstore and other apps, however I am getting a notification every time I open one Google app or another app using Google play services, yet they work.

Netflix though does not let me sign in for some reason. After I open it and click sign in, I get the error page, then takes me back to first page of trial.

So I was wondering if there is anything I could do to just fix this issue, since everything else works
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Il_Pres:
Stupid me... I've reset my phone, as I was thinking to try the new methods and have the GMS working without the need to freeze the google framework and now I'm stuck with no more GSM. It seems there's no way to add the google account at the moment. This is valid and confirmed for all the methods you can find online. Inlcuding MicroG. We need to wait for a workaround or a new version of LZPlay. Do not try to reinstall GMS even if you have some malfunctions or you'll lose everything. For now, the only workaround is the VIRTUAL OS, using VMOS.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thanito:
Yeah I saw this VMOS method, but not sure how it works? Any idea?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Il_Pres:
It's just a virtual machine installed on your phone. Check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbrEflsmCpI

hello everyone,

it's the third video i watched from you but any one of them work to install GMS on my P40 Pro. (current version 10.1.0.131. Of course, it's during the adding of google account there is a problem.

I 'm happening to have "Signing in loading" and i installed Google Service . But my Google Account not added. And if i tried to restart "Add an account", i don't happen to have again "signing in loading" . After I filled my password , i have immediatly the message "there was a problem communicating".

Could you tell me what i can do to happen to add my google account? there is something i don't do well? thanks.

Hi Deadcell, read your posts on this topic and was interested as I am experiencing the same issues with 10.1.0.147 and just left the phone sitting waiting for an update to G app. Was just wondering if you might have had any luck since or any suggestions after a month on apps, etc living without Google services.

Cheers!
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] TR4SPY:
There will be no update to G app I am afraid as Huawei stop maintaining it as they have plans to release HarmonyOS for most EMUi10/11 devices next year. In order to get GMS working you need to downgrade via HiSuite proxy to .133 and then install GMS, when you will have GMS then you can update phone software to 147 and so on.

⚠ Warning ⚠ Downgrading can brick your phone if done incorrectly. So keep it in mind, be careful.

[MENTION=1110248]update[/MENTION] 21 th September 2020

Seems like the downgrading is not an option anymore as Google blocked sign in by in browser method. So even if G app works for somebody they will be unable to login into google account, google want to make things harder each time we get new method... Maybw it's good time to say goodbye to Google and look for an alternative
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thanito:
Don't think that gms is an option at the moment, even if downgrading.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] TR4SPY:
Yep you are right, they blocked it as well. No way to install GMS at the moment. 21th of September 2020

I have sold my device and have reverted back to my OnePlus 6T for now. The P40 Pro has great hardware just irritating to get around some of the software restrictions. Waiting for the next OnePlus device to be released.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Clandaries:
Huawei should give us access to unlock the bootloader again. This would be the easiest way to make us happy
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thklinge:
Yep, unlocked bootloader is the only viable option for current devices.

Hi,

Is anyone able to use whatsapp without the Google services ? I did a local backup on my samsung s7 duo then move the folder to the p40 pro, but when restoring it told me there is an error and I got the chat history from 1 month ago :crying:
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djingonthenet:
Had the same issue, before running whatsapp for the first time (you will have to uninstall it again) you need to go to Settings>Apps>Whatsapp>Permissions and change storage to Allow otherwise it can't write the database back to the storage directory.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] p82maarj:
What about allowing root? I had a Meizu phone time ago and it allowed to be root in the settings.

With root Huawei sures that:

1. No bricked phones (recovery is untouched and system can be always restored). This is not assured with unlocked bootloader.

2. Users have use EMUI software and can use their paid services(cloud, video, etc)

But system can be modified by users and GMS can be installed as sytem apps.

am I right?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] damiaan1234:
you need an unlocked bootloader to root
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] marcpara:
Hi,

Just to be sure I fully understood the different steps to perform, I must do the following ?

1. Go to Settings>Apps>Whatsapp>Permissions and change storage to Allow

2. Uninstall WhatsApp

3. Move the last local backup to the folder Whatsapp/Databases

4. Install again WhatsApp (whatever the version?)

5. Do I have to change again the permissions and change the storage to allow ?

6. Open WhatsApp, which will do the restore with the last local backup
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djingonthenet:
The issue arose because I transferred whatsapp via phone clone. So to fix it I did this.

1 Uninstall Whatsapp (it will ask if you want delete the data, obviously say no)

2 Download the apk from whatsapp home page

3 Reinstall

4 Go to settings and change Storage Permissions to allow

5 Run whatsapp and set up

6 Restore from local backup

Those are the steps that I used and it worked fine.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thanito:
In the past I always used to restore WhatsApp backups by doing these steps:

-Take your WhatsApp folder from your last phone

-Paste it to your root folder of the new device

-Install whatsapp

Configure it and it will restore the backup on initial run

Dunno if this has not changed over time, but I never had any problems with that.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djingonthenet:
Same here, the main difference for me is that the backups are stored on google drive not internal storage. Without GMS there's no way of getting them back. Anyway, I've had enough of the P40 Pro, I can do without Google, but the apps I use need GMS to run leaving me with a barely usable phone so am sticking with my P30 Pro for the time being.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thanito:
Mine are stored in drive as well, but if you take a look inside the WhatsApp folder on your phone, you will noticd that it also keeps a local backup over there, messages and chat
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] p82maarj:
Not needed if the software allows it. As i told before, I had a Meizu with unlocked bootloader and system allowed to make root.

https://developer.android.com/training/id-auth/authenticate

https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/native-app

Google uses OAuth2 protocol for authentication. Huawei also.

For an application that accesses a third-party service, the security problem is even more complicated. Not only does the user need to be authenticated to access the service, but the application also needs to be authorized to act on the user's behalf.

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

Bottom line, your gmail account is not the problem, Huawei browser is as an app. Simple solution wolud be changing ROM code to use another browser instead. But, with locked bootloader , don't know how this is possible.

Those are my findings.

G Suite account

Hi, i managed to install GMS on my P40 and it works without errors or notifications for Gmail account.

The only step that i miss is that i cant login into my G Suite account and cant find any tutorial how to make it work after installing the GMS.

The message that i get is:

1. Couldn't sign in

Your domain requires mobile device management. Please install the Google Apps Device Policy application to enforce security policies required by the boglky@mydomain.com account.

[Donwload]

2. Clicking on [Download] button it redirects me to Google Play store to download Google Apps Device Policy.

3. Opening Google Apps Device Policy and clicking on Next

4. Here i get an error Couldn't sign in

A problem occured while communicating with Google servers.

Please try again later.

Does someone has a solution for this? Is there a way how i can login with my G Suite account?
