Hi people,
I'd like to know if someone can help me:
I had VF European ROM on my Mi 10 Lite, so I decided to change the EEA ROM without Vodafone. I flashed it closing bootloader, so Google Pay and Netflix HD worked. I kept Widevine L1 without problems.
But last week I played Netflix and I checked HD was lost! I tested Widevine with DRM info app and I had L3??
I've tried to flash again European and Global ROMs, both closing bootloader, but Widevine L1 has dissapear! What can I do to recover it?
Any idea?? I haven't don't anything strange with the phone, so I don't understand what is happening.
Thanks for your attention.
PD: Phone is locked, Google Pay keep on working.

As the title states, is there a way to get this going?
I picked up a OnePlus 6 which supports L1. Once I rooted the device it appears to have dropped to L3. Is there a way to keep root and have L3? The only instance I care about this for is YouTube TV. It's not so much the resolution but the frame rate. 60 FPS content isn't available unless you're at 720p minimum and L3 only gives you a maximum of 480p which is at 30 FPS. I tried searching couldn't find any topic of discussion.
Is my only way to get back to L1 to unroot and relock the bootloader?

Unfortunately yes. It has nothing to do with root, but Widevine L1 requires a locked bootloader on all android devices. More detailed information is available here. Seems like it would make more people more likely to pirate the content since they can't use the services they actually pay for like Netflix, Amazon, Google, etc; but I that's DRM for ya.
Yes and no. I've got a device which have L1 and unlocked bootloader to gain root. All fine.
@whyou how did you do it?

Device motorola Z3 China version. Flashed to Verizon ROM. Then simply unlock and flash magisk-ed boot.img. Interesting that unlocking bootloader does not break Widevine L1.
I've lost my widevine L1 certification after Oneplus 7 Pro 11.0.1.1 update. PLEASE HELPPP
Hello,
I recently updated my Oneplus 7 Pro to the newest software. Now some apps are crashing: Chrome Browser and Brave Browser. I also have problems with the Netflix app, it says my device is not supported.
Unlocked bootloader, Magisk also installed.
I hope anyone can help me
Regards,
Twan
Well, with unlocking the Bootloader, you're losing Widevine L1 certificate, meaning no HD on Netflix, and also sometimes Netflix says that your phone isn't compatible.

Alright, you have any idea about the browser issues?
My 8T was (still is) unlocked and rooted but since updating to the latest OOS (11.0.7.10) it has gone from L3 due to unlocked boot loader back to the pre-unlock L1. Netflix now streams in HDR
Anyone else noticed or is mine just a fluke?
Screenshots as proof of OOS version and the phone being unlocked included with one of the playback specifications showing L1 in the Netflix app.
There is already a thread about the Widevine and BL unlock, so better post there rather than creating a new thread.
Hi,
Yes, the exact same thing happened to me too,
My drm went from L3 to L1 after the update while I have the bootloader unlocked with Magisk
Netflix indicates HDR but it seems to me that with the locked bootloader there was more than one, right?
Anyway if it's voluntary it's great news!
I wasn't so lucky and still have the L3 after updating from rooted 11.0.7.9 to 11.0.7.10 :/ But after the update Netflix started showing up in Play Store for me.
So I'm currently on the latest global ROM, bootloader unlocked for a few months now. Just encountered my Widevine L3 now when I checked my Netflix. I know that I had Widevine L1 before even with bootloader unlocked... Anyone else had this issue? Any solution to this?

Without locking the BL / and a RAW flash afterwards - You wont get it back to L1.

If you have converted it fully (Persist Image mod) ,
You can keep it WW. Not required to go back to CN rom ever again.
Hello,
I received a P11 Pro 2021 with global rom and open boot loader, I was able to change to CN rom, update and close bootloader but I am not able to reach L1 in widevine.
Now I am in last rom with android 12, with bootloader locked and still widevine L3, is there any method to download or flash again the keys to reach L1?
It is a pity to have this hardware and have to watch streaming platforms in SD.
Is it posible to contact Xiaoxin to receive widevine keys again? some brands like Xiaomi have this option in the system.
Thanks for your support,
Mee too facing same problem. Mine used to have L1 but after an update downgraded to L3
As I can see, nobody has been able to upgrade from L3 to L1. I had hope on last update but with no luck.

I read somewhere, that if you relock bootloader with anything else flashed on your device other than original manufacturer FW, you are pretty much risking hard brick ... so consider yourself lucky, that the only consequence of relocking bootloader is degraded Widevine security level...
If you feel that you must have L1 on your device, you can try to flash your device back to original manufacturer FW and then relock your bootloader again, theoretically you should have L1 security level back (I may be wrong, because I have not tested this personally)...
I have tried to lock and unlock in almost every possibility and I have almost bricked several times.
But, isn't suppossed to work out of the box with widevine L1 and stream in HD?
Not sure if you did factory reset after either reflash, but if you didn't, it's worth the try, of course at your own risk ...
And if you didn't already - read this thread, may be an inspiration for something untested on your side...
If you received original tablet (not secondhand, or tampered by the seller), I'm 99% sure that if you flash FW, which put manufacturer on it when it was produced, you will get L1 security level back.
If you have secondhand device or from AliExpress, or from China and seller flashed Google Play Store for you, etc., AFAIK then unless you'll find out what FW exactly was flashed on your tablet in the factory, you may not get L1 back...
But, I'm not expert at all, and I do hope somebody else will provide better solution for you...

If you have root and magisk, you can try to install safetynet pass, shamiko and then try to spoof your device with some module from cyberelon on GitHub. I didn't try it yet on P11 Plus, but I am using instantnoodle module on my M10 FHD Plus and Netflix is running with L1.
