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

unfortunately, that's the reality for the Matepads as at the moment, which is why i cannot release the matepad version of guide yet

Didn't work with my Matepad SE, maybe because it's still new. The lzplay app (Google Services with the big blue G) just says "this device is not supported" and exits

sadly, that's the fact that it is not supported

This method doesn't seem to work for Honor 80 pro. The purple G app isn't supported on this device

There are some ways to install this Harmony, 2.0 or 3.0 anyway, in Honor X30 Max, the second line of Huawei? If exists some method, please, show me.

 

[Crisvinte2]

And after, sure, install the Google Play Store using your method did show here.

[Aiples]

Have anyone tried on MRX-W09 ? The matepad pro 10.8 2019 I think.... not sure

 

[matasapii]

Thanks for great work..
My P60 Pro China version can work Google Play Store normaly.

But I got problem how to share location.. on whatsapp not working
Any suggest to fix it??

 

[lambstone]

Will this work on devices that only have Harmony OS 2.0?

 

[kv9898]

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.

This problem is solved on Harmony OS 4.0. Go get the beta version!

 

[kakashi1912]

Problem was already solved on HarmonyOS 3.0.0.300 version (HarmonyOS 3.1). Where can I try HarmonyOS 4.0 for P40 Pro? I thought that only newer devices are in active beta test (like P50 pro and Mate 50 pro).

This problem is solved on Harmony OS 4.0. Go get the beta version!
