How To Guide Install Google Play Services on Honor Magic 3 Pro [UI 6.0 Downgradable] Android 11 Packages

[Chengrom]

I manage to make GMS worked natively with some limitations (push notifications using Google FCM and Map showing on some apps which can be solved by downloading those app from AppGallery).

I have been updated the file to Honor GMSv2.zip to most of file are Android 11 (API30) and recent working version possible. My phone run:

• Magic UI 5.0.0.189 now (Mar 1 2022 security)
• I uninstalled the system update to avoid update to UI 6.0
• no possible solution yet for 6.0 for gms installation, Google will be removed on first reboot on 6.0

What differences for Honor phone, google play store will not update itself, google services and framework will not have uninstall button (but there're workaround to update it).

1 Download the Honor GMSv2.zip and unzip it to your preferred location
2 Copy "Huawei" folder prepared from Google Assistant Backup Folder to root directory of your phone
3 Turn off wifi and data, change date to 23/07/2020
4 Do normal restore operation. Open Settings->system->backup->restore the backup from internal storage (or using external drive-by keeping "Huawei" on root of the drive)

5 Open Google Service Assistant (G logo), click activate, and allow file permission
(must not click reinstall google button at the button)
6 Turn on wifi and/or data, change date to normal

7 Install 1-5 apps respectively
8 Go settings to Users & accounts=>add account=>Google (login your accounts)
***(0. MicroG-Huawei-FIX-ELOYGOMEZTV.apk will not be used unless you cannot add account successfully by those steps)
9 Install 6. com.google.android.gsf_11-30_minAPI30(nodpi)
10 Install 7. com.google.android.gms_17.8.57_(100400-256029040)
11 After that the notification keeps popping up, open the Google Play Store, go to store settings->disable auto-update apps

12 Go settings to App->Google Services Framework
->go storage and clear cache then clear data, force stop until gray out
13 Reboot, open Google Play Store, success!

You should update to Google Play Services 20.18.17_(140408-311416286)-201817057_minAPI30 after no error notification pop up (and do not update it!)

-Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Google Framework can be updated using
For Update or Uninstall.zip (see note in it),and below:
+Google Play Services and Google Framework (open each folder)

1. install number one | 2. reboot | 3. uninstall | 4. install number two​

+Google Play Store

1. download 2 files of new vesion from apkmirror, one is bd32 (blue) and another is 3891 (purple, there're 3, can choose one)​

*bd32 signature is unsupported one. *3891 signature is support to use​

2. install bd32 (using split apk installer or apkmirror installer)​

3. reboot | 4. unisntall play store | 5. install 3891 | 6. turn off auto-app update in play store​

***in-case you see update notification, just cancel it, otherwise you need to reinstall play services again.

--------------------------------------------
Google Chrome will not show any account at first, what you need to do is going to App->Chrome->Permissions->allow Contact permission (if any just allow all)
You should allow all permissions on most of installed Google apk after installation.
--------------------------------------------

**Still error popping up
1. Normal error (not red text notifications), clear cache and data on Google Services Framework, force stop and reboot.
*if error remain, try it a few times

2. Red error (something with play protect is not certified...)
-Download Google Chrome from store, click update play service when open chrome, reboot

-After fix the error notification, you can update Google Play Services to 20.18.17_(140408)
*if error remain, try it a few times

-Go settings to App-Google Play Store-click force stop store, go storage and clear cache then clear data
-Go settings to App-Google Services Framework- go storage and clear cache then clear data, repeat clear those for 3 times,
force stop until gray out

-Reboot, turn on wifi, go play store to check
*if error remain, try it a few times

This method works but with alot of limitations,..

After Magic UI 6 (BETA already installed) is not even allowing this method now.

What kind of limitations do you refer for? I am using Magic ui 5 with google service almost perfect without any restrictions.

I don't get the ui 6 yet, but if you got struck because G app logo (the google assistance), you only need to reinstall old backup app before you restore it.

No google maps on other apps like Google Photos, Uber etc. Of course limitations on notification.

Magic UI 6 beta, couldn't install with GMS installed, hence needed to reset..

Now, after restorring from old backup, I get G logo but unable to open it

What version of backup app do you have right now?

 

[mkharbandap]

What version of backup app do you have right now?

10 or 11

 

[mkharbandap]

10 or 11

I tried both.. Restore from local storage.. Infact i tried to restore from HiHonor Suite too

It should have worked on old version of backup like Huawei. Be sure you have a change of date before restore (it is important step! )

The version of mine that worked is com.hihonor.koBackup-11.5.1.348-230501348.apk

If it is still not work out, It might be Honor phone updates to android 12 incompatible with the assistance app, you may downgrade to install it.

I think it is not compatible with Android 12. HONOR suite doesn't allow to downgrade either. I tried to restore with 10, 11 version of backup apk including restoration from Honor suite too

Have you also tried to uninstall and install backup.apk from adb as well? If so, I also out of ideas to make it work if could not downgrade it.

I found a guide video that make sense for you as it skipped the google assistance app backup step completely from chinese guy who also using Honor phone to do it.

Here is the link: youtu.be/pSTk1wRe4EA (useless)

Let me try this

 

[mkharbandap]

Let me try this

The thing with this and most of other method without G installation is, it doesn't retain the Google account after uninstalling MicroG, i can't see any google account even after adding via MicroG

You can share screenshot of G app error for future solution. You need to until stable release to see if there any methods shared that work on Magic UI 6.

yeah, i am waiting for some solution or installation method for GMS on Magic UI 6. Let's see if someone is coming up on this.

I am using previous method to install GMS. my only problem is I can't update GMS because its is a system app now, P50 doesnt have this problem. IS there any other workaround for those system apps thing. P50 works fine with no errors or notification and all Google files are uptodate. Honor Magic3 Pro freeze when google wants to update gms when installing gboard.

To clearify, the previous method is just extended and also needless for Honor magic 3 pro where it only need to clear data on Framework to fix the error.

First of all, to update google services, you should go to play store and turn off app auto-update from the settings first.

The steps to update or uninstall are here:
-update using unsupported version for Google services (android 11 version any packages)
-reboot, You will see uninstall button
-Install any packages you want

The files are attached below! the second packages is 20.30.65 that is work great, you can try other version on android 10 for GMS to work.

As you mention, P50 is based on Android 10, and Magic 3 pro is on Android 11.

You can try to update the Google Services Framework from 10 to 11 to make it work flawelessly, still, some limitation on Map and push.

The procedures are the same as updating Google Play Services.

 

[jattal]

Thank you. Very clear.
The method i used was to insert GSF to google account, which allowed me to update smoothly on P50.

hi,
I tried on my Honor Magic 3 Pro Plus (Ultimate) but I can't uninstall the Google Services Framework. My phone can't fix the Google Play Services error message: this device isn't Play Protect certified
