How to set up a Huawei account (Huawei ID) on a Xiaomi smartphone: all ways 2026

Why Xiaomi users want to install Huawei ID – and can they?

Huawei’s ecosystem offers unique services that have no direct counterparts from competitors, from AppGallery’s proprietary app store to Huawei Cloud cloud storage and branded themes. However, Xiaomi smartphones out of the box run on Google Mobile Services (GMS) or its own MIUI shell, where Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) is absent by default. This creates a paradox: Xiaomi owners want to use Huawei services, but the manufacturer does not provide official support for cross-platform integration.

Technically, install Huawei ID Xiaomi can, but it requires you to bypass system constraints, unlike Honor or Huawei. HMS preinstalled, Xiaomi will have to manually install APK-Files, permissions, and sometimes even system files. In this article, we’ll look at all the current ways to install Huawei. ID Xiaomi in 2026, including avoiding errors like “Device not supported” or “Failed to connect to Huawei servers".

It’s important to understand that even after a successful installation, some HMS features may not work as well, such as Huawei Pay often blocks payments on unsupported devices, and Huawei Health may not sync data with fitness bands.

Method 1: Installation of Huawei ID through APK-files without root)

The easiest and safest method is manual installation of the necessary APK-It is suitable for most Xiaomi models on the MIUI 12-15 and doesn't require superuser rights:

• 📱 Xiaomi smartphone with unlocked installation from unknown sources (Settings) → Annexes → Special permits → Installation of unknown applications).
• 🌐 A stable Internet connection (preferably Wi-Fi).
• 📁 APK-Files of the latest versions: Huawei Mobile Services (HMS Core), Huawei ID, AppGallery.

Download current versions of APK from trusted sources (e.g. APKCombo or APKMirror). Avoid sites with suspicious domains - they often distribute modified files with malicious code. Recommended versions for June 2026:

Installation procedure:

1. Install HMS Core (the basis for all Huawei services).
2. Reset the device.
3. Set up a Huawei ID and run it. At the registration stage, you may see an error "Device not certified" - skip it (click "Later").
4. Install AppGallery and log in through the created account.

💡

If you see an “Application Not Installed” error when installing HMS Core, try first removing all previously installed versions through Settings → Apps → Application Management, then repeat the process.

Method 2: Using LZPlay (for devices without Google Services)

If your Xiaomi runs MIUI without Google Mobile Services (like the Chinese model), you can use LZPlay, a tool originally designed to install GMS on Huawei devices, but it also works the other way around – it helps integrate HMS on other brands’ smartphones.

⚠️ Attention: LZPlay requires activation of developer mode and enable debugging USB. Incorrect actions can cause system failure. Before using, back up your data through Settings → Additionally. → Backup and reset.

Instructions:

1. Download LZPlay (version 9.5.0 or later).
2. Connect your smartphone to your PC and activate Debugging over USB (Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version → 7 times click on the version bar, then go back to Settings → Additional → For Developers).
3. Run LZPlay on PC and select the Install HMS Core option.
4. Wait until the process is completed (it takes 5-10 minutes).
5. Reboot your device and install Huawei ID and AppGallery manually (as in Method 1).

Method 3: Through Magisk modules (for stitched devices)

If your Xiaomi has an unlocked bootloader and Magisk installed, you can use specialized modules to integrate HMS. This method is suitable for advanced users and allows you to bypass most restrictions, including blocking Huawei Pay.

Required modules:

• 🔧 HMS Core Magisk Module (by XDA-Developers).
• 🔧 HuaweiHMS Magisk Module (alternative version with support for the latest) API).

Instructions:

1. Download the module in.zip format.
2. Open Magisk Manager and go to the Modules section.
3. Click Install from Storage and select the downloaded file.
4. Reset the device.
5. After the reboot, install the Huawei ID and AppGallery from APK (as in Method 1).

💡

Magisk modules allow you to bypass the system-level check of the device, but require an unlocked bootloader. On some Xiaomi models (for example, the Redmi Note 12), this can lead to the blocking of the Widevine L1 (decreased streaming quality in Netflix/Disney+).

Solving Common Errors When Installing Huawei ID

Even with accurate follow-up, users often encounter errors, and consider the most common problems and ways to fix them:

Error: "The device is not certified"

This error occurs when you try to log in to Huawei ID or AppGallery, and the reason is that Huawei servers block unsupported devices using the build.prop identifier.

Decisions:

• 🔄 Reinstall. HMS Core and Huawei ID In the right order (first Core, then Core) ID).
• 📱 Use the Magisk module HMS Spoofer that replaces a device ID with a supported one (e.g. Huawei) P50).
• 🌍 Try changing the region in your smartphone settings to China or Hong Kong (Settings) → Additionally. → Language and region).

Error: “I couldn’t connect to Huawei’s servers”

The problem is related to blocking access to Huawei domains at the provider or VPN level.

Decisions:

• 🚫 Turn it off. VPN/proxy.
• 📡 Check if your antivirus (such as Avast or Kaspersky) is blocking your connection to Huawei servers.
• 🔧 Add the strings to the hosts file to redirect your domains: 123.125.114.144 appgallery.cloud.huawei.com 123.125.114.144 appgallery1.hispace.dsm.hicloud.com

💡

If none of these methods worked, try using the cloud version of AppGallery via your browser: go to appgallery.huawei.com and log in via Huawei ID. This will allow you to install applications without full HMS integration.

Comparison of methods of installing Huawei ID on Xiaomi

To choose the best method, compare all three methods according to the key criteria:

For most users, installation via APK (Method 1) is the best option. If you want full functionality (for example, for Huawei Watch or Huawei Health), you should consider Magisk modules, but only if you have experience with custom firmware.

Security: Risks and how to minimize them

Installing an HMS on an unsupported device involves several risks:

• 🔓 Data Leak: Huawei Apps May Collect Additional Telemetry if Device Is Not Certified.
• 🛠️ Unstable work: Conflicts between GMS and HMS This can lead to accidental reboots.
• 🚨 Account lock: Huawei may block an account if it detects suspicious activity (such as frequent device changes).

How to reduce the risks:

• 🔒 Use the second Huawei account ID (Do not link bank cards or personal data to it).
• 📱 Update regularly HMS Core and AppGallery to the latest versions.
• 🛡️ Install an antivirus (such as Malwarebytes) to monitor application activity.

💡

If you use Xiaomi with MIUI China ROM (without GMS), there is no risk of conflict between HMS and GMS, in which case HMS will work more stable, but some applications (for example, Google Maps) will become unavailable.
