I have mate50 pro as well it came with emui13 and I have changed region from to china just to update to harmony os 3.0.0.189 (says latest)..

However I cannot get LZ play the purple Chinese google services app to work.. it says device not compatible. In your steps above do you use this app? How did you get it to work? Is it need to set region to china or?
LZPlay only works on the right combinations of device and firmware

Looks like this method is not working anymore. For me I always get "This device isn't play protected" message and even Google apps are not opening.

Does anyone recently have gms service working on latest version?

I use Mate30Pro (Chinese version) and MatePadSE (Japanese version) and was able to install GMS on Mate30 without any problem. Thank you very much!

Then, out of curiosity, I tried it on the MatePad as well. (LZPlay gave me an error, so I manually gave it admin and media permissions.) Then the installation worked and I was able to launch GooglePlay. The account also shows up, but the screen is blank. I didn't even get a retry button.
After updating GooglePlay to a newer version with apk, GooglePlay will not start. I installed YouTube as a test and it worked, but I could not log in to my account and the app closed after a few dozen seconds.
This is the reality of the international version:confused:

    Confirmed, I have it installed and it works on Huawei Mate 50 local version. Just keep calm and follow each step correctly
    During the installation process, you may not be able to run Google Play, but you just need to clear the data and run Google Paly to try again.

    *** Update : Running Gmail has an error that the application needs google services. After 6 hours, the Google applications are not running because of the error: Google does not support this device.

    Well the real question is whether it is a firmware or hardware issue. If just firmware then by theory I can also flash my mate 50 pro with the Chinese harmony os3. FYI my device originally was EMUI13. I changed the region from Malaysia to Hong Kong (China) and searched for update and this allowed me to update to harmony os 3.0.0.189. So I believe my device now has the Chinese firmware. Question is why can't lz play run? Is it cos my hardware is different? My model number is DCO-LX9. Or am I missing something?
    There are a few differences:
    1. Your phone code is still the international version even though you have changed to Harmony OS >>> Phone manager will easily detect this.
    2. The latest update of the Chinese domestic version is .197 and yours is the latest .189. That proves that Harmony OS is written specifically for international and domestic device codes. They have different bootloaders.
    I also encountered a few cases in Vietnam and the solution to install Google still had to be used through the Light Hause application.

    Hi there, using a Mate 40 Pro. Recently just updated from HarmonyOS 2.0 to HarmonyOS 3.0. I've got my GMS installed on HarmonyOS 2.0. But when I updated to HarmonyOS 3.0, GMS doesn't work so well. Google Maps took a bit longer to locate my location. Youtube only works after opening several times but it also popped up "YouTube Keeps Stopping" if the app doesn't open. When I open a bus service app, it doesn't show the Google Map but only "Google Play services are updating". Anyone experiencing this issue?

    Hey, I have the same problems with P40 Pro rebranded to Chinese ROM (HarmonyOS 3.0). For now the best solution, that works well, is to use Gbox app and clone apps that need to use Google Maps to work. I can confirm that it works good. I don't know what Huawei did in HarmonyOS 3.0, but on 2.0 everything worked well.

    Here I typed a post at the official Harmony OS developers forum telling this bug in HOS 3.0 update.

    It would be nice if more people with a Huawei phone support me in this thread that I opened so that they can solve this important bug:
