Does anyone have solution for change back to L1 Widevine after Unlock Bootloader? I read some thread and for solution is contact Realme Support? It's affect? Thank you
I have the same problem...
It's normal happens in almost every phone when you unlock bootloader. You have to install magisk and widevine L1 Fix module. It's a lot of information about it on this forum.

Do you care to share a working method? com.oplus.widevine apk is conflicting with another. I decrypted the apk and it seems to be also dependent on "oppo.hardware.cryptoeng"
After quick look at the code, the app connects to Realme API passing encrypted information of the phone, and downloads either a newly generated or pre-issued certificate from their server, this I am not sure of.
The API link is https://phone-api.realme.com/
Contacting Realme support is probably the best option for now, maybe once they have enough requests, they will release app specific to realme phones and start issuing certificates.
Since everyone who unlocked bootloader is affected, even if they did not root the phone.

With all pie ROM coming in XDA, I picked up my favorite phone again and flash those rom. It went mostly fine, but then I realized that I can't use Netflix (even with older apk).
After installing DRM Info apps, I found that I have unknown Widevine CDM, so it is not even Widevine L3. I expected that I will miss Widevine L1 after bootloader unlock, but I don't think that I will not have any Widevine CDM. I tried several ROM including stock rom, but it won't restore my Widevine CDM.
To be honest I am not sure since when I lost Widevine CDM, but maybe this is a known issue, or anybody else has this experience? I tried to search Widevine in this Troubleshooting forum but can't find anything yet.
Thanks !
Hello!, I see the same issue on all PIE ROMs I tested, the solution i found to have Widevine L3, is after you flash the ROM, flash the RZ Kernel.
But if you have any exFAT card or USB you want to use with Z2 with this kernel, the OS won't recognize the storage, because the lack of support of the exFAT FS on the RZ Kernel.

Thanks, WIdevine L3 worked after flashing RZ Kernel. Seems SELinux is not enforced for RZ, but it's fine for me as this is not my main phone currently (although with Pie ROM, I am really tempted to use it again daily )
Before reading your solution, my workaround is using patched Netflix apk that floating around in XDA and will force HD streaming , but the version is a bit old.
So thanks for your help !!
has anyone managed to rebrand to a different version? i tried funkyhuwei and managed to get halfway thru the process, but was stuck at the firmware install thru their version of huiste and needed to unbrick it using erecovery. I was hoping to upgrade to 9.0 after rebranding.
for anyone looking to do this, i gave up on my own. i paid $30 to Ministry Of Solutions. He rebranded it to C432 i am now on emui 9.1

After the rebranding and update to 9.1, do you have Widevine L1 for Netflix in 1080p HD or do you have L3 (SD)? I was thinking about rebranding my Mediapad M5 through the same service but if I don't keep Widevine L1 it may not be worth it
i wouldn't know how to check that. i am only getting 960x540 on all episodes of test patterns in netflix. i do get 1920x1080 on other tablets i own

You can check by downloading "DRM Info" from the Play store. If you open it and look at the Widevine CDM section, you'll see what it shows for Security Level, L1 or L3
DRM Info - Apps on Google Play
Shows DRM information (Widevine, PlayReady, etc) from Android DRM Framework

Darn ☹ thats disappointing. I would love to be on EMUI 9.1 but I don't think I can give up HD video to do it. Thanks for checking
Well, I just checked on my device (M5, 8,4", C437, stock rooted EMUI 9.1, security patch September 2020) and I do get security level L1 in Widevine CDM section
@tensux is your SafetyNet - check green?

@AndDiSa Was your M5, 8,4", C437 rebranded from a different version or is it still the stock region, just rooted? The US C567 has L1 on the stock EMUI 8, so it sounds like @tensux may have lost that when he rebanded. Or would just using Magisk maybe bring it back?
It's still stock, not rebranded, but trying to root with Magisk may be a solution as Magisk is able to bring back passing SafetyNet on unlocked devices. Probably in his case it's working, too ...

yes it does pass safetynet. I am not rooted. i had him rebrand from a usa version to a european one so that it could be updated to android 9
ok i rooted with magisk. still showing L3
Do you still pass SafetyNet? If yes, the only idea what comes into my mind is: rebranding is installing a new OS and all of its dependencies but leaves certificates and keys alone. In that case, the device the keys used to identify in relation to widevine are still the ones from the C567 device and so it's still identified as a L3 device ...

Hi all,
sorry if double-posting, but maybe none of those with relevant Android knowledge have seen this in the general-general-Q+A forum.
tl;dr: title says it all.
No LOS / other custom rom available for those devices, manufacturer won't do anything about it (been there, asked that) => need an approach for the stock rom. Any thoughts?
Details:
Adding Widevine to stock rom (this is not about getting L1, but about installing wv L3 where there is NO wv)
Hi all, I have a gadget ("Onyx Boox Poke3" e-reader with bluetooth audio capabilities) which has no Widevine (WV) support at all, not even L3. So this is not about how to get from L3 back to L1, but how to add WV support "at all" where there is...

Hi,
I just noticed that on my rooted (Magisk 23) and therefore bootloader-unlocked device Widevine L1 seems to be active according to DRM Info.
I always thought this to be impossible. OOS 11.0.2.1 fixed some Widevine issues. Is it possible they fixed too much?

I'm not sure about updating to the latest 11.0.2.1 from an older version in an B/L unlocked state (as i haven't tried on my device), but I do know that some people (with locked bootloaders) Lost L1 after updating to 11.0.2.1
I know with the previous versions of OOS11(other than 11.0.2.1), I had to keep the bootloader locked for upgrading from A10 to A11, then I could unlock bootloader and still keep L1. It's nice to know that I may not have to repeat this process if/when I decide to upgrade to A11.

So you mean they should have fixed the error of not licensed devices getting L1 or an error where legit L1 devices were downgraded to L3?

I have seen a lot of users (I think it's mostly 7T devices) that have actually lost L1 with the latest update, even with locked bootloaders.
OnePlus recently stated that their next update is suppose to fix the L1 loss on locked devices, but I would take that with a grain of salt. They've been messing up hard with OOS11 on 7/T/Pro devices.
Aren't unlocked devices supposed to be bound to L3?

You would think yes, but not on OOS11. L1 sticks regardless of the bootloader state.
Do you have any source for that?

Sorry I should probably correct my posts. I don't know if OnePlus ever stated that you will get L1 with an unlocked B/L on OOS11 (I don't think they ever would). As you have stumbled across it with your device, and I know it works with my device as well (and many other 7T/Pro's) since the very fist release of OOS 11, we are somehow able to keep L1 with the B/L in an unlocked state.
Has anyone been able to restore widevine l1 certification ocne you unlocked your bootloader? Currently running the latest .128 USA rom on an xc62 with the latest kirishima rom. My device is currently spoofed as a nexus 6p. Google play is certified. Google wallet works. Magisk is hidden and renamed. Netflix and anything Google shouldn't see it but I'm still at l3 certification. Anyone have a fix?
There is no fix for L1 because you unlocked your bl so the drm keys are gone and that gives you L3 widevine.
