Error "Update google play services" after updating to 5.0.2 Lollipop

So I updated my Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530H) to 5.0.2 Lollipop via youmobile post and using the final firmware which is recently.
Everything went good except I'm always having this error that says "Update google play services, Google play services won't run unless you update Google play services" and I did updated it
so does anyone knows what is the problem or experienced the same thing and knows a fix?
Any help appreciated ..

Factory reset, clear data and cache, then start like a brand new phone, is the best thing.

Mate 8 Chinese version (AL10) 2 questions

Hello. I just got my m8 today. I did UL bootloader and rooted the chinese version 156 which came with OTA. The only problem I get is that i cannot sync google contacts. Everything else is working great. Is there any way or do I need to flash the international firmware?
PS If I need to update to a newer version (I saw 165 came out but i didn't get it today) is there a way to flash a newer rom without losing all data through TWRP?
PS2 One other problem i encountered: I tried to install sygic navigator from play store but it forcecloses the entire google play!!! This happens only at this app...

u wont get any ota updates on a modified system @unlocked bootloader & root, so ull have to flash manually every time or revert back to full stock.
concerning google apps and services, ull need to manually add those to the chinese rom (check the B156 rooted thread, the necessary apk files are attached to the OP)
as for flashing updates, it is indeed possible to "dirty flash" a rom over an existent one, but be prepared for potential hiccups / issues / functional resets in that case. best thing is to always to a proper clean flash with your data backed up on a different location (i.e. laptop).
the play store FC is probably due to the app size. check permissions of google play store app and activate permission for storage, that should solve the FC...

Thanx for your reply. I see... As far as the google contacts sync is concerned, I tried creating a GoogleContactsSyncAdapter folder in the system/app folder and copying the apk in there but after the reboot still no sync... Am I doing something wrong? (I did a workaround here as well, i restored the contacts from a csv file but now i don't get cloud backup)
When flashing future updates do we use the TWRP in order to flash the stock roms? I haven't tried that's why I ask. I usually do a full wipe when I flash updates. About the play store i gave it full access, but before that i did a workaround and backed up the prog from another device and restored it to mate8... I will probably see on the next update of the app.

I got it to work... I am not sure what was the reason... I uninstalled it completely and then installed the latest app I saw online and gave permissions and rebooted and the apps are there Thank you all.
The problems fixed. Can someone please answer to the first q about how to flash latest versions since I am rooted-twrp? Are the versions I find in the android development flashable by TWRP? I mean the untouched versions not the custom roms. I am happy with the performance of the stock rom.

some are flashable via twrp, others through the stock huawei erecovery, others again are flashable via fastboot. gotta check the package contents and file types...

Guys how often does contacts sync takes place? I put a contact yesterday at about 18:00 and it doesn't show up at the gmail contacts. Probably due to the fact that if I go to google account it says it synced last yesterday at about 17:15. I know that I can force sync it but I don't want to have to do that every time I add a contact.

I also have the AL10 and I didn't unlock and rooted my phone and didn't receive the B165 rom yet either. My latest rom is still B156.

There is a thread in the forum with the exact procedure. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-root-install-t3301371

Hello everybody.
I recently purchased a Chinese Mate 8.
While the Play Store and Google Services were up and running when I received it, contacts where not syncing.
I download GoogleContactsAppSync and solved that BUT I can't sort them by surname, how am I supposed to do that?
Please help, I can't get my head around that!
Thank you

Same here with Sygic. My phone is a chinese one, model NXT-AL10, no root, bootloader locked.
When Sygic is loaded, playstore is force-closed. Sygic can be loaded via Amazon appstore but the "restore"-function does not work.
Moreover, OsmAnd+ navigation does not work properly. It can be opened but no map is shown.
Anyone uses Sygic and OsmAnd+ with Huawei Mate 8 chinese successfully? Should we contact Huawei?

Go to google play at apps and give all the permissions. I think when I had chinese rom that fixed it...

There is only one app in the google play store that I cannot install. the playstore FC. Granted full permission too. Hmm...
Edit: fixed by granting permission to storage for the Playstore. :S

Error! on N beta install

Took the plunge and registered for the N beta program. My 6p is stock, unrooted, I'm in the UK. Got the notification to update my system, downloaded and attempted to install. Got an Android on his back with Error! After a while the phone rebooted and started ok, on 6.0.1. Anyone else had this and got N installed ?

I did as well. Clear your Google framework. Unregister your and re register your phone on beta N. Download beta again. It worked for me

Just flash it manually, it's a lot safer

Solved
I had the same problem on my Nexus 6P. I didn't wipe any framework or anything to solve it though.
After it errored on the first try, it restarted as Android 6.01 again. I UPDATED ALL OF MY APPS, and then I un-enrolled and re-enrolled in the beta to get the download again. The installation worked after that.

Google Play Books won`t open

I can not open the google play books. There is no response after I tapped onto the icon. I tried to clean data, uninstall and reinstall but nothing worked?
Can you try to open on your devices? is that working?
Thank you

Try to download the app's apk (maybe a different version than the latest). I don't know what to expect but if this were my case I would try it.
Other Googla Apps working fine?

This could be really annoying specially at a new phone.
I know this is very uncomfortable (specially if you have done all the settings etc.) but the next steps would be factory reset or flashing the stock Honor 8 rom...

I solved the issue now.
I removed my google account and signed in again. but for the first time I had unmarked the auto sync option(Cause I hate auto-sync It was draining the battery on my nexus badly). Anyway This time I chose auto sync when it prompt before sign in to google account and It worked.
Thanks for the responses again

I haven't received Google Assistant yet.

Okay, so you might have seen plenty of these posts but I don't know why I haven't received it yet. Phones in my region have gotten it yet I haven't. Here is some info that might help. My phone is updated to Android 7.0 and has Google Play Services 10.2.98 and the Google App is updated with the current version. So, I don't know why I don't have it yet. Thank you by the way.

The rollout is Google Account based so you will get it sooner or later. You might want to update to 10.2.99 Play Services, try a soft reset and/or accessing Google settings which may trigger it (as far as I heard).

Maybe you should update to
Google Play services 10.5.37 beta

wont let me install latest version

Do you have to be rooted? When ever i try to install the updated apk it says "app not installed" Package appears to be corrupt. WTF? Any help would be much appreciated.

Nope, no root needed.
Did you select the right version? APKMirror

Updated play services to that beta build a few weeks back, I'm still waiting for Google assistant to be enabled on my S7 edge. Been using the assistant on my s4 for a few months though with a custom nougat rom and I like it.
