Installing Google play on WIFI matepad pro - Huawei MatePad Pro Questions & Answers

Hey guys hows it going? just trying to see if someone can clear some stuff up for me. My Matepad pro is in the mail or else i'd try myself. So my understanding is that at this moment the Playstore cannot be installed on a WIFI Matepad pro, only the 5G version? This is of course what i've read from various youtube comments. One thing i am curious about is when i was going to purchase the tablet from Aliexpress alot of the sellers there offer the wifi version with the play store pre-installed, how do they pull this off? i'm assuming this means its at least possible?

hi mate, try the one from FoneTech channel on YouTube, that's the only one that worked perfectly on mine

i'm thinking i shouldn't have updated to 10.1, either Huawei, Google or someone patched something because none of the 500 youtube tutorials i've tried have worked...

i did updateto 10.1.0.131 and the process in the link i gave worked like a charm

edit: got it working. thanks again for you help. if anyone else is having issues with the WIFI version matepad pro, let me know and i'll see if i can help.

@dr Light which one did you use to get GSM Play Store? I have just taken ownership of the 6Gb/128Gb version.

Hi Dr.Light, I am thinking about ordering Huawei MatePad Pro(MRX-W09) as there is a discount for it going on.
Do you mind me asking if the GMS(through fonetech tutorial) that you installed has been working since it was successfully installed?
Your review of it would be greatly appreciated. As it's very attractive deal...just want to make sure it can work on the WiFi version too as I see some of the tutorials mentioning the GMS only works if it is the MatePad Pro LTE/5G.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all
I have the Matepad Pro 6Gb/128gb MRX-W09 and have been trying to get Play store installed I have tried 3 different methods and apart from one which will not go past Sign-in on playstore, the others give the Goggle services play protect error. My Pad is on the latest version of EMUI 10.1.0.151(C432E135R1P135) and is a UK version
bought from Curry's. Anyone with this latest EMUI version able to install the Play Store please advise.
TIA

This one didn't work:

but this one worked for me (WIFI 256 GB - EMUI 10.1.0):
youtube.com/watch?v=uKfz4xeMzh0 :good:

Likely the most important tweak with the latest MIUI updates - not even the full reset - but:
the "switch back the system time year" part in the beginning (then it can be turned back onward the process).
Another that works: youtube.com/watch?v=pXotMm47K2E

https://youtu.be/jPBQrqj6cLU
Works for me... No msg saying device not protected. Latest emui 10.1.0.150 on MRX-W09. But everytime run playstore, date need to change to latest or "Auto".
Sent from my MRX-W09 using Tapatalk

I will try 1 last time for this, but the other 3 I've tried says lzplay won't launch, some error soon as I open it.
10.4 tho.
I see a lot of these guides saying 'now change the date back to automatic' but they never say WHEN to set it to 2018?

Mine works google apps w/ updates (system updated also to latest 10.1.0.137) and even Netflix runs (actually runs movies with sign in). Up for sale on Swappa. LTE 8gb 256gb version.

hi i have the MRX-W09 and my compilation number is 10.1.0.172. Any tutorial? thanks

You can follow this link. That's the latest tutorial he has. I did his previous one and it worked perfectly, updating emui version also works. I'm now on 10.1.0.176.
Hope that helps you out.

To update an existing version, do you just need to run the apk or do i need to do anything else? First time ive had to update this.

Is it safe to run on a rooted VZW phone with this installed? I have it working on my CleanRom but don't want to mess it up by simply updating the APK.

I updated mine running AOKP JB-MR1 Build 2 which is obviously rooted with no issues. I actually updated from Wallet 1.5 –R87–v15 which was never released to the play store, it was was pre-installed on the Nexus 4 and 7 and never had an issue with it. I havent tested the new one as far NFC yet, but wont get a chance till after work later on tonight. But everything looks like its in working order.

try this apk, I pulled this one straight from the play store through a chrome extension. Shouldn't be any different but worth a try.
EDIT: just did an md5 compassion and there both the same. So I don't know whats going on.
BTW the MD5 should be :AACFC3CFC556C1292D1157CB0781B8C4
Oh, I like the new UI update. Thanks again for posting! (yup, I clicked the button too)

Aren't you supposed to go into the app's settings and Reset Google Wallet before installing a new version of the app? Otherwise, you run into a wall of problems? Or is that not necessary anymore?

I ran into the same problem. I changed build.prop to be the same as when I originally installed wallet, and after fixing my soft brick because I forgot to fix permissions, I was able to run the new version of wallet. I restored build.prop and everything still works. My cards are still present, I didn't need to wipe anything.
This is awesome and worked perfectly, Thank you!! :good:
If it helps anyone, I saved a copy of the working version I had to my Dropbox, and completly deleted it from the phone prior to installing the new version.

[Guide] Enable App Twin Feature on EMUI 5.0

Saw few users not having App Twin feature on various variant of 6X on EMUI 5.0. I found this trick on Honor 5C Facebook group shared by one of the user claiming this worked for him on rooted phone. I could not test this because I already have this feature on my phones so unable to verify but someone not having this feature on EMUI 5.0 can verify and report.
This needs a rooted phone with root enabled file explorer. (Root browser or ES file manager)
Go to this path:- system/emui/lite/prop/
backup this file - local.prop (copy and paste in internal storage or somewhere)
Now edit the original file under system/emui/lite/prop/ and make below changes.
fw.max_users=1 to 2
fw.show_multiuserui=0 to 1
ro.config.hw_support_clone_app=false to true.
Save the file and Reboot the phone.
Now check in settings option just below battery for app twin.
If it works, please share the feedback so that other users can get benefit of this and if doesn't work, we will explore more option to have this.
If you face any issue, just restore the original file from backup.
Good luck.

Thanks for testing it mate.
Tested this feature and this will work 100% on Honor 6X on any region. Just follow the instruction mentioned in OP. I just did on BLN-L21 model (debranded today)
Just debranded from BLN-L22 to BLN-L21. Everything working fine. More details to follow soon.
For those, who were just curious to know if there will be OTA after debranding, you will get OTA after debranding without any issue. Just confirmed after debranding to BLN-L21. Got 2 updates in less than 30 minutes.
EDIT- Ignore this post. was posting in debranding guide thread but tab changed in a blink which I didnt notice.

Change to? Already mentioned a guide for the purpose
Just FYI. This guide worked, more or less, on a Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus (Nougat 7.0, Emui 5.1). Did I say "More or less"? yeah, I did.
It appeared "Aplicación gemela" new menu, just under the battery option in the settings menu ("twin app", in spanish). Problem is inside option, I only have option to replicate WeChat app. Okay, that is one of the two apps I'd like to clone (messaging app with logon based on phone number, and this phone is a 2-SIM one... personal and work). The other one is Whatsapp, also installed. But not appearing in menu for twinage.
So guide works, functionality in limited way.
Maybe it's due the mobile origin (China), the tuning I've made to it for getting gApps working (my god...), or maybe its due the whatsapp I've installed is the beta version? unsure.

O so there is a seperate method given already in xda for cloning as many app as you want. This guide will just enable your phone for this feature. Let me give you link for the other guide.

Sorry, forgot to come and edit. I've already seen it. it's great info.
But in the end, Whatsapp doesn't works for me (ok, I didn't go trhough ABD but just modified XML file, whatsapp appears in menu, i can clone it, second icon appears in NOVA's app drawer, but it opens with the SAME configuration, it is not a different one... for wechat, it works)
It is no so important for me, so I'm not dedicating more time, just playing around a nice feature. If sometime in future i need it, maybe i will investigate more or use any app out there for cloning.
Thanks ^_^

I have the same problem!!
I have the same problem too! I even tried to install google play service manually with latest apk files, but it doesn't work. Plus, I can't even use any google apps. Very frustrating. I tried to ask for help to the support, but they didn't care anything. Shame on Huawei, I would never buy Huawei devices anymore
I had the same issue, but I fixed it. The problem is my device came with Chinese firmware on it, which as you already know after the last update doesn't support Google services and all of the related apps.
The solution is to change your mediapad's firmware with no Chinese one. I downloaded mine from here: romfirmware.com/2017/08/03/huawei-mediapad-m2-8-0-m2-801w/
Definitely works. Wish you luck!
P.S. Bear in mind that you will loose all of your personal data and installed apps doing so. I recommend to backup your entire device and later to try to restore it on the new firmware - it is not so easy in my case but in the end it worked.

Thank you so much for the information. I'm going to try this way
No Google
Yep I got the same problem. Update stopped google working.
I side loaded some things but Chrome worked for a short period and then stopped working again. I tied Opera and it was fine so only a Google thing.
I then attempted to flash older firmware and did something wrong as I completely hard-bricked my device. Fastboot mode works but no other mode works. I'll be posting a 'help please' elsewhere in the forums. Very f'ed off about it, but the downsides of buying off AliExpress, it's going to be Chinese firmware. Might go buy a Samsung form the shop down the road (sigh).
I updated to B217 and have the same problem that all Google things stop working.
After hours of searching I have successfully downgrade my M2-801W from B217 (EMUI 4, Android 6) to B019 (EMUI 3, Android 5).
Now all Google things work fine as before.
I will post the guide and the necessary files soon.

If you are in a hurry try the method I described. Plus mine EMUI is v.4.0, not 3.0 which I think is better.

I have a nokia X7 for now around two weeks and I quite good with it.
But i wonder is someone has tried or know about if it is possible to flash the pure android one version. The one that comes in the 8.1 global version on the X7.
Thanks!
I need help converting my x7 to 8.1
Hello all, I guess i'm pretty late to the party. I'm from Bangladesh, and I'm looking for a DIY method to change my chinese x7 rom. Can anyone help??
Maybe you could use this link to flash stock firmware:

We can't use OST without unlocking bootloader. We need patched OST with Unlocked bootloader to use nb0 files

A hikaricalyx's twitter post suggests that he has successfully converted an X7 to global version without a bootloader unlock:

I left him a message, but he's not answering.

Yea i already read that. He have all the access. He can do. What i mean is we can't directly do this without unlocking bootloader. But he can via remot acces. He will charge 5dollars for one conversion. Pretty decent. I also waiting for my 8.1 to unlock the bootloader and flash China Rom

Why would you flash CN rom? Doesn't android one better? I had X7 6gb ram, let say i successfully convert to android one ver (8.1), 8.1 have 4gb ram would it matter? I mean the system will confused? Or it is automatically adjust? Or maybe going to brick?

Actually i am an old user of Nokia 7+. After unlocked bootloader in 7+ i just flashed CN rom and i really like it. Some of the features seems pretty good for me like Face Unlock, long screenshot, Screen record, Double tap to sleep, Navigation bar key adjustment, call recording, etc etc. Also i feel the UI is slightly polished and looks good. After selling 7+ i bought 8.1. But need some above mentioned features. Thats why i am waiting for 8.1 bootloader unlock.. Stock is good and fast. Smooth enough. But just want to try CN rom too..
Well, Android One is good too. U can convert to 8.1. Ram does not matter. It won't brick.
Hey ! I found this X7 with Global firmware.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NOK...7.html?spm=2114.search0104.0.0.10ab6000CidjVh
Does this global firmware means gonna be stuck on Android 8.1 and no more updates ?
I had my X7 converted into a global 8.1 running Android One using Techmesto for $10.
https://shop.techmesto.com/product/convert-nokia-x7-to-global-variant-nokia-8-1-with-android-one/
Was a pretty easy process, ordered, got a email about it to organize a time when they can do it.
The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

Ah sorry, the price must've increased. It was $10 at the time of writing.
And yes, I got an OTA update to January's security update straight away. I suspect it'll continue to get updates, but the Jan update is the latest so can't say much right now

Please keep us updated if you could. I am planning to buy an X7 to save some money. Its 150$ cheaper in my country. Minus the 15$ service, this is not bad!
Thank you!

I'll def update as soon as I get the February update.
Sorry for the horrible quality, had to use my laptop camera.

I haven't come across any issues with running Android One. The NFC doesn't work but that's expected as the X7 doesn't have NFC.
I also can't record calls anymore, which was super easy with the China ROM. Apparently Google cracked down on call recording apps in Android Pie.
But everything seems fine, seems to work as they should. The camera , voice, dual sims, hotspot all worked soo far.

Hi,
Sorry, I've never done that before, but if I understand correctly, it's working.
I opened up Google Maps, selected Location Sharing and selected to share via a link.
I can open that link on my PC and see it, so I think it's working
