Play Store 404 on AL00 Oreo

[khaberz]

Is anyone else getting 404 error recently on Play Store on Chinese Devices (AL00C00 here) and has found a solution? I know at east one other person who has the same issue and there is a thread here of more people having similar issues, some non-Huawei but apparently all on Chinese devices: https://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-10/867051-error-404-downloading-play-store.html

Update: The issue is getting some publicity now: https://www.techmesto.com/google-play-store-download-error-404/

Same issue

I have tried everything since last Friday. Last night, I reset my phone... Unfortunately--I shall have a lot to copy to and install on my phone. Just now, I saw your post and the links. Google support did their best to help me, to no avail. I contacted Huawei, but they haven't responded yet.

Thank you for posting this, just while I was wondering desperately, What next?

Hope we are given a solution very soon.

Fixed

Ok, it works for me now after installing manually the latest Play Store app from apkmirror (8.8.12). It may be coincidental with a fix on Google Server side because even with that it took me a few attempts.

Not fixed....

OK, it worked temporarily....a few apps were updated, now it's back to getting 404

I already had this up-to-date version. Yes, as you say it works randomly, showing a slight improvement...

same problem

i'm getting the same 404 errors from installing/updating some apps.
Plus a error message "server response error" pops up on the bottom from time to time, not sure what app/service is causing it.
And both of my Google calendars won't sync.

It appears to be fixed completely now.
