Can someone help me i have a huawei p40 pro ELS - NX9 11.0.0.168 (C432E3R5P3) i have tried in past to side load it but not had any luck can someone point me in right direction of a method and files i will need to get this done finally.

Im just about ready to get a new phone if this doesnt work which is a real shame as i love the huawei phones but i desperately need to be able to access aps in my day to day life never mind work apps.

It would help if read previous post. You can install with bender007 proxy from page 1. Also worth reading everything on Page 1 and make notes.

Hello, just got my brand new p40 pro. Downgraded to 10.1.0.148 as I'v read from another thread with the same phone but I am stuck at opening the "G" app ... whatever I do. I assume I need to go to .131 but I am afraid I will brick my phone installing the wrong version.
My phone is ELS-NX9 C432E8R6P1 but in the list kindly provided by Bender_007 can't find my phone: (C432E8R5P2) or (C432E7R4P1) - both NX9. In the FirmwareFinder can't find the bloody 131.

Edit: I'm from EU/Romania.

You won't get any notification even if you managed to login. There is no 100% working solution until Apps are in Huawei app stores.

oh, I didn't know that about this Googlefier.
So anything Google related, there will be no notification until you actually open up the app?
Gmail no new e-mail.
Hangout no new message.
Calendar no event notification.
etc.

But Whatsapp notification is ok since it's not Google?

You will get Notification from Gmail. will not get notification from Most apps which are using (FCM)
Firebase Cloud Messaging

Do i understand it right that after google is working properly it is possible to upgrade firmware without the firmware blocking google? (I see a lot of people say so)

Is it just LZplay they have blocked? So when google is installed and we dont need Lzplay anymore we can update firmware?

I tought i needed to use old firmware for good now, but would be much better if i could have the new one! :)

Can someone please verify ?

Thnx!

thx bender , did downgrade of P40 5G ANA-NX9 of latest 11.0.0.168 via HiSuite 11... it dowgrade to 10.1.0.182 .
I downgrade to 10.X.114 via OTG USB PENDRIVE... install googlifier and all stuff works !! was affraid that android auto will not work ..all works like a charm !!! even after upgraded to latest releasse 11.0.0.168

Does it still works fine after you updated back to EMUI 11? I am now using old firmware, and i want to update for security perposes, but i am afraid google will stop working then

From what I understand, if you ever need to change your password, switch your google account, got logged out for whatever reason, you will not be able to log back in again if you upgraded to a firmware that doesn't support Googlefier.
Since the only way to "login" is embedded in the Googlefier's process.

But googlefier works with never firmware? Isnt it is just LZplay that does not work?

I think Googlefier uses LZplay, Googlefier just takes all the steps to get the hack to work and puts it all down step by step. So you'll need a firmware that works with it, if you ever want to re-login for whatever reason.

ok, i tought it just used Lzplay to install google, not to add accounts and so on. But you may be right..

I don't know how exactly Googlefier and lzplay work, nor what they do, but here's what I did.
I went through all the steps of Googlefier, signed in with my spare account, gotten everything good, so I started firmware upgrading to latest. Since this was for my wife, I've signed out, and tried to get her to sign back in.
Error: Your account wasn't added. Try again.
I couldn't even sign back in with my spare account.

Then I had to downgrade all the way back down to a supported version, and redid everything from the start.

But before i downgraded, i got to add google account and log in, it was just that google play didnt work. At least it told me it logged in. I dont think LZplay does that job, but i am not sure, i dont speak chinese so it is hard to know for sure..

Let me know if you or someone else found out it is ok to upgrade, i dont want to start all over again so iam gonna wait

Can i upgrade HMS core? Or will this notice google and mess it up? And is it possible to install some of the systemupdates without updating the firmware? Or do everything come in the same update?

I went through 30 pages of the forum so far and there seems to be a recurrent problem: HiSuite does not downgrade enough. In my case (Mediapad M6 Turbo), it either puts EMUI 11 on the device or takes it back to 10.1.xxx -- where I started. It doesn't downgrade to 10.0.xxx.

I have found the older firmware for my device that is required for Googlefier to work, [10.0.0.220(C00E210R1P10)] at mobilebaz. Are the two methods indicated in post #3 the only way to go at this point?

Kudos to the author for an amazing work -- it's making me suffer but I think I'll get there eventually ;)

And guys... donate!

Hi, at first thanks for this very clear process, but I realized, this is not working with matepad 10.4 (BAH3-W09).
I downgraded successful to 10.0.118, but lzplay is not initialized.
After I read 20 pages of this thread, it looks like the (C432) version of matepad is not googlefiered with this method. Please, update the original post about this device to help others not spend much time with that.

    Wecome to Googlefier,

    After a successful tool for LG G2 and LG G3 owners (AutoRec), but after a long pause, here is something new and I hope useful

    Googlefier is a simple tool, designed to help you install GMS on your Huawei/Honor device


    gf.PNG



    Video & Article - please take time to watch the video, answers some open questions



    Check stats for your device here

    statsi.png


    Please read the Q/A on POST #2 < click

    Downgrade help is on POST #3 < click

    Firmware Downloads (c432 global only) are on POST #4 < click

    Troubleshooting is on POST #5 < click


    Before asking any questions please read posts 2-5, check if your question has already been answered, in order to keep the thread clean.

    Also - try to ask questions in some sense they are understandable

    A simple: "IT doesn't work - will be ignored and possibly deleted, because it doesn't add to thread quality", instead you should describe the steps properly, and you will get an answer.

    I also encourage all of the members to keep the "alternative downgrade methods" to some other threads, which I will for sure link later. Also please don't spam with firmware links, rather PM me and I will add it to POST #4, let's try to keep the thread clean. As time goes by, I'll try to add more firmware and cover more of the Q/A and Troubleshooting POST/Section so everyone can help himself / herself by simple power of reading



    As always, any donation is highly appreciated and welcome, since a lot of time has been invested into this tool and in research




    click ----> DOWNLOAD - click here to download <- Someone ddosed the server, which means the server is gone, thx a lot :), I mean I don't have anything out of the downloads, I guess the person who ddosed the server had some incomes coming either from googlefier (since some sell it for 4-5 dollars) or it did hurt him in other way..thx a lot, good job!

    Downgrade Help






    Downgrade via usb/sd


    You NEED USB-OTG -> see the picture

    usbotg.jpg




    Prerequisites

    1. Check your firmware version(emui)
    2. Check the stats about the max supported version for Googlefier/Lzplay
    3. Download the firmware which is supported
    4. Make backup…

    Where can I find the firmware?
    -All of the firmware version that are in the download post I’ve downloaded from easy-firmware, yes I’ve paid 17$ to be able to download firmware for people, but you are welcome to get your firmware from a source which you prefer, please don’t pollute the thread with the firmware download links, there should be a separate thread for that

    transfer.png


    Method 1

    0. Make backup..seriously, this will wipe your partitions and reflash them(your files will be gone)
    1. Download your firmware
    2. In case it’s from my uploads you just extract the “dload” folder to your usb/sd
    3. Turn off your phone
    4. Hold volume up and power, until you see the recovery (or. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztobeBHh4Fk if your phone doesn’t have volume keys)
    5. Select upgrade "Memory card / OTG update mode" and that’s it, it will first verify the firmware and flash






    Note: If method 1 doesn't work, try method 2.

    For troubleshooting – see the troubleshooting section

    Method 2

    you need HiSuite 10.0.0.510 (find it and download, install it)
    1. -Open your dialer inside android
    -type *#*#2846579#*#*
    -tap on 2. "Veneer Informations"
    -tap on 1. "Version Info"
    -scroll down to "Base Software Version"
    -You will see something like "JNY-LGRP2-OVS 10.0.1.108"
    -Just ignore everything after LGRP2, means you need the "JNY-LGRP2" only
    -Type "JNY-LGRP2" or any string you find in that info - into textbox from step 1(in the hisuite proxy) and press step 1

    2. Find a suitable firmware, check that it's "FullOTA-MF" and not just OTA-MF, copy the url link next to the date, paste it into the "package url" inside the hisuite proxy
    3. Copy the text which is next to the date, on the webpage - paste it to the "firmware version" inside the hisuite proxy
    4. Press "Start proxy", connect the phone, authorize with HDB (you should know how to do that)
    5. press update in HiSuite - It will download the older firmware and install it

    Here is the image of how the procedure looks like: CLICK

    DOWNLOAD Hisuite Proxy Modified

    Note:

    IF method 1 doesn't work for you (stuck at 5%), try finding the firmware somewhere else, or do what I do

    1. find some service where you can download firmware (I use easy-firmware)
    2. pay 17$
    3. find your firmware, download it, extract using that weird ef extractor
    <- this is exactly what I do all the day when you ask me to upload you firmware

    What to check?
    1. device name
    -example ANA-NX9

    2. version
    -example C432 or C185 - just download the one for your device

    OR - try method 2 with hisuite

    Note 2

    You might be able to download the firmware using the free service here ,
    but this is something for the "method 2" for now. I will work on it to try to use the very same firmware you can download from there so you can use it with your SD or USB.
    Not promising anything, but I think it's doable - I just don't have a device ATM and I don't want to bother anyone risking a device

    Q/A



    1. What devices are supported?
    - Currently Huawei / Honor devices running Android 10 and Emui10. There are limitations based on firmware versions.

    2. Does it use LZplay(Chinese app)?
    -Yes it does. You can uninstall it after the installation is done.

    3. How do I know if it work on my device?
    -You don’t. You need to try it. IF lzplay runs on the device then it will 99% work. However there is a list where you can see some firmware versions on which it’s reported to be working.

    4. I don’t have LZplay and it still worked, how?
    -At some point, on previous firmware version – your phone had LZplay running and/or someone tried the GMS installation method. (yes, even after resetting..yes weird..)

    5. Do firebase push notifications work?
    -No they don’t, some apps will have their notifications pushed through, most of them wont.

    6. I'm getting notifications, a lot of them, what do I do?
    -Hit the fix button and follow the instructions.

    7. I've hit the FIX button, but it doesn't fix a thing. Why do you lie to us? :D
    -The fix button is there to assist you in fixing your own errors :), you didn't follow the procedure.
    -After you hit "fix", just read the instructions.
    -After EVERY single services install do this:
    *Open playstore, browse it, close playstore and all running apps from the recents menu
    *Open sync settings, uncheck-and re-check the sync on/off settings
    *Open playstore - install 2-3 apps, games...close playstore and all running apps from the recents menu
    *Proceed with button 3, just like the message box instructs (until it says everything is done)
    *still getting errors? Repeat..

    8. Does APP {insert name here} which depends on google location services/play services/games work?
    -Most probably it does, even apps like tapatalk work with the google sign in

    9. Is factory reset mandatory?
    -No, there is a button to make sure your previous experimenting is deleted

    10. Will this damage/delete my data?
    -No, this doesn’t touch your data. Although a factory reset is recommended if you want to do it right. Some people use different google replacements, aurora store, microg…etc..they mostly don’t play nicely together, there is just no guarantee it will work. A clean device will set a baseline for the installation.

    11. Some advice on the procedure?
    -always read the message boxes – they are NOT just for your amusement there, it’s very easy to miss something
    -before doing anything – do a backup
    -don’t give up on the first try
    -don’t assume the next step – there are message boxes (already told that, but..)
    -always first read the questions, then the troubleshooting – before asking a question

    12. Ok, so I successfully installed the GMS, everything works. Can I update the Apps, upgrade the system, delete Googlefier, delete LZplay, delete Google Account Manager?
    -Of course, the answer to all is YES. After the successful installation you can report the success-or a failure, just tap on “?”, it will lead you to the “YES it works”, “NO it doesn’t work” chooser. And of course, there is the donate button, which is appreciated and welcome, since a lot..lot of time is invested into this, and still being invested through the support and further investigation.
    I personally have used this services to update

    13. Will this work on my device, version 154? or Will this work on my device, version XXX ?
    -Yes and No. There are multiple factors. Depends if lzplay was at some time installed on this device - no matter what version it was on. If it was installed at for example version 106 and you made a FR, then YES you can still install even if on 154 or more recent. There is however a list of the devices that works by default and some that users report it works on.
    workingversions.PNG

    14. Can I run it on my XXXX on my YYYY version?
    -See this:
    canitrun.png


    15. It doesn't work...
    -Ok, let's try fixing it. I see some Honor users just hit the "doesn't work" button. There is still downgrade, let's look up the firmware and test it. If I could spend 2-2.5 months investigating this and then again downloading all the firmware files, extracting them, repacking and uploading them, I guess 1-2 minutes of your time isn't too much to ask?
