Core GMS package Suddenly started Malfunctioning (old Huawei Honor 8, ~2 years in use) I have been using my Huawei Honor 8 for about 2 years now. I live in the US. And I have been using Google Play Store and other apps without any issues. Last night my phone ran out of charge and died. When I plugged it in and turned it on, I received tens of notifications stating: "Get Google Play Services. [App name] won't run without Google Play Services which are missing from your device". I Double checked it, and Google Play Services are still installed. However, whenever I attempt opening any Google-related app, I get an error message saying: "Core GMS packages. Install core GMS packages to use [App name]".

Has anyone encountered this problem before? What could cause it? And how could it be resolved?

Model Number: FRD-L04
Build Number: FRD-L04C567B398
EMUI version: 5.0.4
Android Version: 7.0
The issue was resolved. Since only certain Google-related apps were affected, I was able to back up everything else I had on the phone, including data and apps. After that I ran the Factory Data Reset and used my back up to make the process of setting up the phone and all the apps, I had been using, easier. The problem was resolved immediately after the reboot and I was able to set up the phone with my Google account.

P.S.: Prior to running a factory reset, I attempted clearing cache and data for the affected and related apps and resetting phone settings without deleting all data. That did not work.
