  1. (Reuters) - A China-based website that allowed for manual installation of Google’s Android apps on Huawei’s newly launched Mate 30 devices went offline on Wednesday after a security researcher highlighted the “backdoor” to sidestep a U.S. ban. Image Source The link to the website, LZPlay, surfaced about 10 days earlier on social media site reddit. “This GMS (Google Mobile Services) installer is ad-free, well-designed, and ONLY works for Huawei devices,” wrote a user. Launched two weeks earlier, Huawei Technologies Co Ltd’s Mate 30 phone uses an open-source version of Android without falling foul of the U.S. ban, but the devices do not come with pre-installed applications such as Google Maps. U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration effectively blacklisted Huawei in mid-May, alleging it is involved in activities that compromise national security, a charge the company denies. Google was among the first U.S. companies to suspend business with Huawei, hobbling the company’s smartphone business outside China as the tech giant lost access to updates to Google’s Android operating system. LZPlay used an undocumented “backdoor” in Huawei’s mobile device management software to install Google software, a security researcher wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. “At this point, it is pretty obvious that Huawei is well aware of this LZPlay app, and explicitly allows its existence,” said researcher John Wu. “Although this ‘backdoor’ requires user interaction to be enabled, the installer app, which is signed with a special certificate from Huawei, was granted privileges nowhere to be found on standard Android systems,” he said. A Huawei spokeswoman denied any relationship with LZPlay. “Huawei’s latest Mate 30 series is not pre-installed with GMS, and Huawei has had no involvement with www.lzplay.net,” she said. Google and Wu were not immediately available for comment. A search of internet registration records showed that LZPlay website was registered in July. It was not immediately clear who took down the website. Huawei announced its own mobile operating system, dubbed Harmony, in August. But analysts are skeptical that it is yet a viable alternative to Android. Source
  2. Huawei to launch Mate 30 on September 19 without Android OS Huawei to launch Mate 30 on September 19 without Android OS Huawei is set to unveil its next flagship on September 19 Huawei has announced that its next flagship device -- the first one expected to launch without Google's Android operating system -- will launch in Munich on September 19. This weekend, Huawei's official mobile Twitter account announced that the flagship Mate 30 Series will launch in Munich on September 19. The brief video published on the platform features the tagline "Rethink possibilities." Though that phrase could be referring to the new tech that the handset is sure to come equipped with, it's more likely that it's referring to the new operating system that will be powering it. Huawei has been blacklisted by the US and will not be able to use Android OS or other Google services like YouTube, Google Maps, and the Play Store. The company announced its own in-house operating system HarmonyOS last month, stating that it will be able to adapt to any device; it is likely that it will be lacking some smartphone specific operations that Google has had the time to perfect in its Android operating system. In fact, the first device that Huawei confirmed will be powered by HarmonyOS will be the Honor Smart Screen -- the Mate 30 Series is expected to be based on an open-source version of Android. If the rumors prove true, the Mate 30 Series will come in two flavors like the previous generation -- standard and pro -- and will be powered by the last Kirin processors. The specs will be unveiled in full in just a few weeks. Source
