thanks for replying - i cant check at the mo as my phones playing up for other reasons so im probably going to have to reinstall the firmware.
i havent been able to find much on this app and rooted phones and the only info i have found was xposed and rootcloak which doesnt work, then the only other 'ideas' were complete removal of supersu,
are you still using xposed and rootcloak when disabling supersu or is that not necessary with this method?
A coworker gave me a rooted (towelroot) fire TV sw version 51.1.0.1_user_510055620. After I hooked it up to my WiFi and registered it with my account there's no apps on it and it won't allow me to download Netflix. What is my next step? How do I get this thing up and running?

Do you know if CWM is installed? Im thinking the netflix available on Amazon is incompatible with your old firmware.
Basically, i youre going to want to update to one of rbox's prerooted firmware versions. Its not hard but you do need to follow the guides carefully. Best bet is to go to aftvnews. He breaks it down really well.
I'm not sure. How do I check? I also need to update the xbmc to kodi (I've started to search!)
So far I've only been able to unlock the bootloader but I can't push the recovery.img for some reason. I hope there's an easier way by now. Lol

just follow this guide up to the point of your existing software and then update to the latest custom rom by rbox.

Hi, I rooted my pixel, after that I tried to install Netflix all from the web but it says that my device is not supported. I tried to hide magisk and even google play and google play services and it didn't worked. How can I install the latest Netflix app on my device ? Thanks
You can't at the moment. It looks like the Play Store is seeing something that neither Magisk Hide or even a cloaked unlocked bootloader can hide. My guess is that it is an attestation similar to how Google Pay is working to fight root and unlocked bootloaders. Clearly, the Netflix help page that claims that certification is the kicker is dead wrong at this point and as of a moth or two ago. Maybe a return to stock, re-lock of your bootloader and facory reset (which locking your BL would do anyways) might get you there, but I am not about to do that. For now, sideload the most recent one off of APK Mirror and if you need to update due to some lost functionality, use one from there when it becomes available.

True, but Play Store will not update Netflix after that one time. I have 4 devices installed that way, and since the Play Store version with 3.14 in it the updates will not show. One of the devices hadn't got 3.14 when the others had and it got the Netflix update two ago. The others didn't get it. That device did not get the last update nor did the others. I suggested in another thread possibly uninstalling the Play Store o get it to revert to the original version and then checking to see if Netflix is available. Even if it works, I am not about to keep an older version of Play Store or have to do that every time Netflix updates. The older version of Netflix is working fine.
My Netflix is on version 7. Not sure what you speaking about version 3

I was talking about the Play Store version itself (Play Store>settings).
#1 wait for final q and root.
#2 Netflix doesn't need update lol
#3 my bad lol
What I find fascinating about this is I assumed it was because the bootloader was unlocked. But, flashing the Android Q Beta, allows you to install Netflix with no issues unlocked. But, if you go back and flash P? It's no longer an option. So my theory is out the window..

Rooted both ways, neither way? Safetynet?

Rooted, and non rooted. SafetyNet passes fine. I observed this on fresh installations. If I do a fresh factory install of P, I can't install Netflix even before rooting. If I flash stock P, and lock the bootloader? I can install Netflix.
Now with Q? Bootloader unlocked, factory flash Q, can install Netflix. It's very interesting that this doesn't happen with a factory flash of P..

This is leading me to believe my previous thoughts about Netflix on the Play Store. I think the Play Store is looking at SafetyNet/Device Certified 1st regardless of device. If that passes, move to the device/OS and see if it is listed for additional checking. Since Q has not been released publicly yet, I am guessing that the check goes no further and shows Netflix. This will probably change at public Q release if not sooner, and updates will cease even if the program is installed already. I believe my Tab S2 713 simply is not listed for additional checking since it is rooted and has an unlocked BL but passes SafetyNet. Play Store shows available and provides updates.
The big question is what additional testing is being performed. I doubt it is checking for unlocked BL unless the kernel masking of unlocked BL simply doesn't work anymore. I tend to think it is a database attestation check similar to what GPay does. Finding that or using MagiskHide Props Config module to set a working fingerprint might work long term, but since older versions of Netflix (already installed on all of my devices) are working OK without updating I am in no hurry to do too much testing.

Same here.. it's not a deal breaker, it's just frustrating. There's another app from the Playstore that does this from T-Mobile. T-Mobile Device Unlock (or whatever it's called). What made me really raise my eye-brows is during the initial setup of the phone after a fresh flash. In P, during initial setup, when you get to 'install additional apps' it's not listed. If I flash Q, go through setup, it's listed in additional apps.. It's very strange.

Too funny about the T-Mobile device unlock. I had that show up on my phone a few weeks ago, and I deleted it. I have 5 devices on T-Mobile, and that was the only one that it showed up on. I have seen that app before since my boys had a prepaid T-Mobile phone years ago that had that app. The app not showing in additional apps makes sense since it doesn't show up in Play Store from the device and if you search it on the PC it will say not compatible with any of your devices or compatible with some of your devices. I actually chatted with Netflix a little while ago and played stupid about the whole thing. The agent seemed to think that as long as your device was certified the app would show.

yeh appareently APK Mirror doesn't host the Netflix app anymore either, so get it from another site.
Something interesting... Did a clean install of July Pie.. Was using Q but was having some random issues with GPS.. Anyways, I installed the APK and now I'm being told by the application itself that it's not compatible with my device.. WTH!?!?!?? Can't even side-load now??
Pretty sure the Android DRM (Digital Rights Management) Framework does the Netflix locking. There's a magisk module for DRM Bypassing for Netflix

You also may need to spoof the device fingerprint. I am on Q so it lets me download right now no matter what. I just spoofed fingerprint for G Pay on top of the database
Just stumbled upon this thread and just wanted to comment. I'm rooted with an unlocked bootloader and I've had no issues with installing Netflix of having it update when needed. I've even had to uninstall and reinstall once with no issue.
Hi!
Didn't rooted a phone since a long time, I discovered I couln't afterward install Netflix from the Playstore. Found out it's because of the unlocked bootloader, and also found the link to download the APK from Netflix directly: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/12983#android
Unfortunatelly, after installing it with adb, it still refuse to open, "this device isn't supported"
Is there any workaround?
EDIT: the netflix.com version didn't worked, but the latest "nodpi" beta one (v8.7.0_build_8_40058-40058) from apkmirror worked perfectly withtout the need for SafetyNet or anything else.
I think this is a question that really needs confirming by having a rooted user check the playback settings in the Netflix app for the Widevine L1 indicator.
look for an apk that you can manually install. I had to do that with the sammy s 20

You need to be able to pass safety net. There are threads about the topic on here. Once you achieve that, simply wipe data from Play Store and Play Services. Reboot and Play Store should be certified and Netflix should install.

It didn't worked with the apk from netflix.com.
Meanwhile, I tried again with one from apkmirror, took the lastest beta "nodpi" one (8.7.0_build_8_40058-40058), and it now works perfectly
When I was bootloader unlocked but root wasn't out yet I couldn't find Netflix and Disney+ in the app store. I had to get them from apkmirror. At that time I still had L1. Now I'm rooted and passing SN and I can see them both in the app store and I'm still L1.

It says L1 while rooted in Netflix.
You can also use an app called DRM Info to see the widevine status

Can confirm apk from apkmirror with version 8.7.0 build 9 nodpi works with my pixel 6 pro with open bootloader but no root. Thanx for the tip!
Indeed ... I also installed from APK mirror ... version 8.7.0build94006 ... I'm rooted (with Safetynet failing ... but I don't care so much about safetynet as I don't use GPay).
hello,
i just unlock my bootloader and i flash beyond and thunderstroms kernel.
and now i cant find netflix in my store, anyone have afix for this?
thankyou
Yep
Install universal safetynet fix magisk module from kdragon.
And a data wipe of play store and play services apps may be required.
But be aware that unlocked bootloader means no HD content.
Edit: You could also need liboemcryptodisabler magisk module to play netflix videos.
I have a Oneplus 9 pro but came across this thread with the same problem. Worked wonderfully. Would have otherwise really not known further. Must therefore say thank you to both of you.
