GAPP and EMUI 9 - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

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.

Hi, I have the same problem with my chinese Huawei Honor 7x. It runs EMUI 5.1 and Adroid 7.0. The model is BND-AL10 compilation BND-AL10C00B123. I really hope soon we can have the solution to this problem. The phone is great and I'm very happy with it but I really need Google runing in my phone. Thanks for all the help you can share!!
it definitely is possible, cause I'm running all the google apps on mine. When I ordered it from aliexpress the seller said that he would unpack the original phone and install the language packs and the google play store app on it and that's how I got it.
Sorry, is no help for you guys who're trying to do it themselves but for others wanting to get one, look out for that before hitting the 'buy' button.
install GMS and after find GP in HiApp.

It's because in China and some other regions they don't allow Google apps. You got the L24, which I too have, and of course has Google apps (GApps) installed, duh

[Question] EMUI 8 for BLN-L21

Hi
I'm a proud owner of a BLN-L21 but it is stuck at EMUI 5.0.3 since last year.
How can I update to EMUI 8.0, so I can install ROMs such as Lineage 16.0/Android PIe ones?
Kind regards

bln-l21 (nfc) -> bln-l22 (india/chinese variant) = no nfc
Anyone can summarize how to upgrade BLN-L21 UK version (firmware BLN-L21C432B382) to EMUI 8.0 other than converting to Chinese/Indian first please?
If anyone have converted to Chinese from BLN-L21, then let us know how its going? I want to upgrade so that I can put one of the latest ROMS as this is the prerequisite of most ROMS. Thanks
Would this do it - at least its European (German)?

Hi
It seems that the convertion is mandatory. But some more feedbacks than "loosing nfc" would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Dont think we are loosing anything apart from NFC because that is the only difference we had in region specific models.
BTW there was one more guide to update but that will convert to Chinese version i guess. I guess it was by Khan.

I suppose forcing the nfc flag to true in the dedicated file .prop doesn't work to regain nfc on Indian or Chinese rebranded ?

I've seen both guide to rebrand to Chinese or Indian version guys, I still wonder which one will offer me more Android 9 custom rom versions. If you have any advice?
Any custom roms will work with nfc? (Android 8 ones?)
Thx for the hard work, your advices and guides are still very helpful in 2021! Just bootloader unlocked and rooted a EU honor 6x. Only paid DC unlocked version get me the unlock code in 2021.
But stick to the thread.... BLN-L21 is losing just nfc to be rebranded, OK. Now any advantage Indian VS Chinese version? Any custom rom for directly the EU version?

I would prefer Indian lme because there are more chances of bricking while moving from Chinese to other versions as there are no custom bin. Once i rebranded to i shuffled easily to EU, US and other variants + custom ROMs

Goog to know about the the Custom bin.
Indian will so be the choice, even if a user had some troubles some days ago using the guide to Indian debrand, maybe it should be updated/corrected :

You can switch from chinese to global rom(or indian rom if you want inbuilt call recording option) after unlocking bootloader and debloat it all after rooting..Or maybe just flash custom roms .

Hello Robert
I have ordered CN version Oct, and i have been using it ever since. Out of the box you will get 18w charger with adapter which is very good, i live in Bosina, both sims are working fine 4G works too. There is not much to be worried about in CN version it works great it gets latest builds of MIUI (compared to other versions). Only thing that was kinda a nitpick and kinda annoying for me from start is that you get few standard Chinese apps that you can delete, and some of main Mi apps keep giving notifications in CN like mi videos and very other few, but rarely and they can be blocked. When you power on a device for a first time and creating Mi account you will have to install gapps which you can do over integrated mi store as i can remember (just type google no need for Chinese fonts). After doing that and logging into your google account i recommend you to unlock bootloader, you will have to make a request for unlocking it takes 160+ hours for it to get approved. Install xiaomi.eu rom which is cleaned and optimized CN miui for global users with xiaomi devices and regular updates and builds. I am currently using xiaomi.eu rom its fast, it has also ability to update it with updater in system. Anyway it is up to your preference what you want from device, you can try to install global firmware without unlocked bootloader you can try, if you want or some other custom rom with unlocked bootloader.
Best regards

Android 11 update and Google Play Services Error

Hello,
Recently I have received MIUI 12.1.1 Stable update with Android 11.0 into my Redmi K30 5G device (China ROM). Since then some apps (like- GBoard and certain ride sharing apps) keep showing errors - "This application requires Google Play Services, which is not installed in your system" and simply keeps crashing.
However I have latest Google Play Services (version 20.42.65) and Google Play Store (version 22.8.42) installed and most of the apps are working fine.
I can't understand what's the real issue here!
Does those applications don't have Android 11 support yet or something like that? or is it a bug of MIUI 12.1.1 ROM?

i was using the china rom and i had some error too, with the keyboard, sync, wifi debugging and etc . last friday i installed xiaomi.eu, working fine with magisk, adblock. i do recomend installing it, cause china rom is kinda limited. its a simple process, require some pacience and time, but likely in 30 minutes you will be using w/ every bloatware you can have from google.

Miui 12.1.6 RGICNXM seems to work ok google services framework 11 which previously would return a provider conflict error on earlier chinese rom necessitating the use of GSF 10 that may or may not be the cause of some google apps to not work e.g google meet. You could probably try updating if flashing the eu rom is not an option.
Hello Everyone,
I too had the same issues.
I am currently using Redmi K30 5g(China ROM).
I had received an update from Xiaomi regarding Android 11.
After updating I had the same issues as you.
Best Option:
Unlock Bootloader and downgrade to Android 10 version update.
Your phone will be working fine then.
For Redmi K30 5g(CHINA ROM) I would suggest downgrading to MIUI 12.0.7.
The problem would be solved.
NOTE:
Don't forget to lock the bootloader again.
Do not update your phone again till the problem is solved.
