Huawei Mate 30 Pro - Installing Google (GMS)

Huawei Mate 30 Pro - Installing Google (GMS)

I've receive many calls from customer asking to install Google (GMS) on their Huawei device

I've done 2. One of it is the Mate 30 Pro and the other model is P40 Pro

Today took up one more set. It also doesn't have Google Mobile Services (GMS)

This time round it is more harder to install Google (GMS) as Huawei has updated their devices with EMUI 11 (11.0.0.189) June 2021 Security Patch and now it runs on Harmony OS 2

So to Install the full Google (GMS). I would need to use software like the Hisuite Proxy to do it 

Downgraded from Harmony OS 2 back to EMUI 11 (11.0.0.189) and than downgrade again back to EMUI 10 (10.0.0.134)

From there the method to Install Google (GMS) can work

You can see that the Play Store, Gmail, Youtube and Google Map all runs well

Huawei has been barred from providing Google Mobile Services on their Android powered mobile released after 2019.

Since it introduction of Huawei Mobile Services (HMS). It's has been an issue as many apps still rely on using Google API and didn't work properly without Google.

Apps like Grab (Transport) and Gojek didn't run properly as it rely Google for it maps

As I browse through the Huawei AppGallery there are still many popular apps not yet available and has to be sideloaded.

Got the Google Services (GMS) installed. As shown need to downgrade the firmware using hisuite proxy.

Huawei P40 Pro 5G - Installing Google (GMS)

I just got myself a Huawei P40 Pro 5G

It has one of the best Camera for now. The Camera is based on a LEICA Vario-Summilux H 1:1.8 - 3.4/18-125 ASPH

I can now leave my DSLR Camera at home. Since it is very heavy to carry around

The phone itself has no Google Mobile Services (GMS) and is using Huawei Mobile Services and AppGallery

I managed to Install the Google Mobile Services (GMS), Play Store, Youtube, Maps, Gmail into the phone and it works just fine

To downgrade the phone firmware, I used HiSuite Proxy it is a software that allows the phone to be downgraded back to a previous version so that the Google Installer Assistant (LZPlay) can work

The (LZPlay) app make use of the Mobile Device Management (MDM) to grant special permission. (This means that it grant super administrator access to install systems only app) The empty stubs that is being removed

After the Google Services is installed. The phone can still be updated to latest version of Android using Over-The-Air (OTA) update the Google Services will still remain working

As long as you don't factory reset it would work just fine
