Hi Guys, we know 6T is One of the Netflix HD 4K certificated devices for L1 certification, unlike the Mi 8, and this can be from my personal side a decision point because I do use 4K contents a lot.
Now I know that after unlooking the bootloader we loose this ability and the service get recognized as an L3 Widevine device because of root.
I think that if we hide root through Magisk, and filter Netflix APP and all related software/services/apps/ and DRM info app etc, by correcting configuring latest Magisk, and of course we add also play store and Google service framework to Magisk hide filter after cancelling data in order to get on play store "certified device", I think that L1 certification will work but I can try test by myself because I don't have the 6T.
Can anyone make these tests and confirm once for all and for everyone that if we unlock the bootloader on 6T there will be never a way to have the L1 certifications?
Can anyone with 6T ALREADY unlocked bootloader check DRM info app if it reports L1 by hidding Netflix in Magisk? No need for risk or operations, just who already have an unlocked 6T with magisk, can just check, no operations to do, no request particular, just a check to know if it works or not.
Useless to reply to above comment, the guy must have some serious relationship and inner hate problems, go get solved for your sake. :*

The OP6T has L1 when it's stock/locked bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader puts it to L3.
OP if you can elaborate on this that would be great, I don't particularly care about L1 but I'll happily test. You aren't specific at all as to what you think should be hidden through magisk. Maybe download the official 9.0.6 OTA and look through it and list exactly what you want done.
I hid Netflix in MagiskHide and repacked Magisk Manager. I know it works because I pass SafetyNet and can play Pokemon Go.
DRM Info still says L3 with an unlocked bootloader. Didn't bother to hide DRM Info, but it wouldn't matter (it's not a detection issue, the decryption keys are unreadable with the bootloader unlocked).
Hope that answers your question OP. Also, this should have been in Q&A.
I don't even have Netflix installed and it's L3. Yet on my v30, rooted with Xposed and with Oreo and Netflix, I'm at L1.
Other than the OS, the Widevine is vslersion1.0 (v30 L1) and 6t is 14.0 (L3) maybe we could port v1 somehow?
I have no idea how any of this works so just throwing ideas out there

Read a bit before making theories. Widevine ISN'T linked to root or OS! It's encoded directly in the chip and is only linked to bootloader status, which can't be hidden. You can hide root 234678 times under 35678 carpets for 368322 apps Netflix will still be reading L3 as it's at hardware device level.
You're asking to add oranges and bananas

What he said...to the original poster, I'm sure you've read my previous threads. Any modern device has Widevine and bootloader status intertwined. It's not going to happen.
Unlock bootloader = L3
Locked bootloader = L1
What I had to decide (and you will too) as to which is more important...
Substratum / Titanium Backup
<<OR>>
HD Video for DRM content + no jumping through hoola hoops for updates of ROM (reinstalling TWRP/Magisk) and updates of apps (constantly re-applying substratum themes)
iYTBP & system-wide ad-blocking is possible these days w/o root so I didn't use that for criteria.

Off-topic but: Could you elaborate on rootless system-wide ad-blocking? I didn't encounter anything working as good as AdAway with root in terms of blocking ads within apps and the web.

Thank you very much, mister! I tried some VPN-based blocking apps before but they didnt work quite well. Blokada is open source and works very well as far as I can tell in this short time. Thank you!
Blokada is VPN based which is a no-no for some people, if you're not aware of it being a problem for you it probably isn't.
Of you're still wondering about this all I do is find the Netflix apk online download it, install it and then my phone let's me get updates through the play store for it again. I'm not sure if it tricks it but I don't do anything other than that and I haven't had any issues with Netflix. Bootloader unlocked with root and mods

There's a test for resolution within Netflix I forget how to get to it if you Google it you could probably find it but can you run that and report back the resolution if it bypasses it you should get 1080p or higher but if it doesn't it will be at most 480p
Edit: just search test patterns on Netflix its in there

I'm not sure about any of that I'm running 1080 but I also hide magisk from Netflix so maybe that helps? Either way it's definitely a solution. As soon as you unlock your bootloader Google play hides Netflix. But if you find the apk online and install it then root and hide magisk you should be fine

Absolutely no idea, mine is a TMobile variant rebranded to OOS not sure if that would have something to do with it
This was my original setup stock unit:
Px3 (1024x600 0)
Android 7.1.2
Patch lvl may 5 2017
Kernel 3.0.101+
Mcu version mtcd_xrc_v2. 58_1
Cpu arm cortex-a9 @1.6ghz (x4
I flashed Hal9k Rom and currently have magisk v18 installed. I then used magisk to install Sony framework to be able to use Sony apps.
I installed remote play and psvue. I then proceeded to hide them with magisk hide. I still get errors for remote play (the one saying my device is rooted) and psvue comes on without the black screen saying it isn't supported for rooted devices. However I can't scroll down the screen to click sign in my account.
If anyone at all can help me, I would be very grateful and so would my children during long commutes to and from.
UPDATE: I got PSVue to work flawlessly. And I though I got remote play working but unfortunately, it will not register ps4, however the app itself isn't blocker or detects my root. Getting closer to my overall goal.
Dear all LG G7 users, I would like to create this thread to discuss about ways of using LG G7 with all the basic features working and without Google Apps and Services.
I have a EU G7 with latest firmware and updates (Android 10) This is what I am looking for:
Working USB Tethering Hotspot and WiFi hotspot
Working Gcam
Working Bank Apps
Working microG
Good GPS signal
AOD - Always On Display (if possible)
DT2W - Double Tap to Wake (if possible)
I see there are a few ROMs like LineageOS 18.1, Dot 5, and others. But I am unsure of which one offers the stability I am looking for (not customization). It is ok to use Android 10.
I have downloaded the file from LG to unlock my bootloader, so I am ready my goal is to get rid of Google, and I am aware that with stock rom, even if I like it, it is not possible.
Thanks in advance for everyone who will join the discussion.

I thought custom ROMs based on Android 11 did not have USB tethering. So not even Android 10 based custom ROMs have it? That's strange that a paid app like PDANET allows USB tethering

Because the app itself allow it through their own method. its not using android's implementation. And no, not even android 10 roms have it working on g7
Hi there, I am still here, trying to find a way of minimizing the Google impact in the stock ROM.
Could someone please update me if a custom rom has USB tethering working? And if the answer is still a big NO, is there a way to debloat or degoogle the stock rom via unlocking bootloader and root? Ideally I would love to replace Play Services with microG, or at least remove Play Services while keeping the phone booting. Any advices are appreciated.
EDIT: seems like this is a viable option for me, anyone tried? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/
For other searching here: I just installed AOSPK from Emanuel (telegram group) and it is Android 12 based. Here USB-Tethering works out of the box and the ROM does support signature spoofing so microg can be used right away.
So I downloaded Netflix today on a rooter Poco F3 with Xiaomi.eu and it throws me a 5.2 error meaning that I can't watch any videos. I have tried a method with a magisk module called liboemencrypt disabler but it didn't help at all. Any help?

Apps that use liboemcrypto.so to play content protected by DRM, such as Netflix and My5, will fail when playback is attempted on a rooted device.
The symptoms displayed by affected devices vary by brand and Android version. Some devices may display an obscure error message when you attempt playback. Others may just appear stuck loading the requested content.
This Magisk module fixes the problem by masking liboemcrypto.so with a zero byte replacement. Whilst the same effect could be achieved by simply deleting or renaming liboemcrypto.so with a root-enabled file manager, this has the disadvantage of altering your /system partition by writing to the file-system. The advantage of the Magisk method is that no actual changes are made to the device. The problematic file is merely concealed from the apps that attempt to use it.
To use the module, flash it in the Modules section of Magisk Manager and then reboot your device.
The module works when the library in question is located at either /system/lib/liboemcrypto.so or /system/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so. If your library is located elsewhere (or missing), this module will have no effect (but it's harmless to try it).
The module has been verified working on a Samsung Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965F/DS) running Magisk 16.x/17.x/18.x on a variery of ROMs, on a Samsung Tab S3 (SM-T820) running stock Android 8.0 and Magisk 16.x/17.x, and on a Samsung Tab S4 (SM-T830) running stock Android 8.1 and Magisk 17.x/18.x. It was created because a similar module on XDA did not work on my devices. It is being released by popular request, because a number of other users contacted me with the same complaint.
The module was integrated into the official Magisk module repository on 2018-06-27, and can therefore be directly downloaded from within the Magisk Manager app.
Please note that a consequence of using this module is that Widevine DRM will fall back to using L3 instead of L1. This means that Netflix will play all content in SD quality, regardless of your subscription type. Of course, without this module, you won't be able to play anything on a rooted device, so beggars can't be choosers.
Change log:
2020-12-20: v1.5
Updated for Magisk v21 template format.
2019-03-29: v1.4
Updated for Magisk v19 template format.
Issue a warning if installed on an S10e (G970F), S10 (G973F) or S10+ (G975F).
2018-12-06: v1.3
Added support for devices that have the library under either /system/lib64 or /system/vendor/lib64.
Added support for devices that have the library in multiple locations.
2018-07-22: v1.2
Added logic to install in only the appropriate library directory, rather than in both.
2018-05-29: v1.1
Added support for devices that have the library under /system/vendor/lib instead of /system/lib.
2018-04-23: v1.0
Initial release.
