Can we get a pole of drm sevices functionality after unlocking bootloader. Just curious who is and isnt have problems with netflix youtube and general drm services. Thanks! Ive always rooted and romd but im a little hesitant because of the drm possible issues and the fact the the bootloader unlocked cannot be reversed as of now if you go to resell the phone.

Hey friends.
I'm just about to get an M9, and I know that the second I get it, I'm going to unlock the bootloader and root it. I would get a custom ROM, but the camera doesn't work on those. But that's not the point. As HTC says:
Some content on your device may also be invalidated and cannot be accessed any more because of invalid DRM security keys. (Taken from http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/.

I'm hoping despite the wiped DRM keys, the IR sensor will still work.
If you have an M9 with an unlocked bootloader, can you test the IR sensor? (Peel Smart Remote app.) Thanks.

Works fine for me. DRM keys refer to content (music, videos), don't they? I've never heard of while apps being disabled.
In any case, Peel Remote works fine with an unlocked bootloader.

IR works fine here too. DRM in this case applies to firmware updates. Htc dont release any other drm'd content. Digital Rights Management can be applied to any digital file so long the rightful owner is proven.
Secure apps may not let you use them while rooted but that isn't htc's responsibility.
If you're going to root you may as well s-off at the same time for $25. Just rooting it isn't sufficient if anything goes wrong later down the line, especially if custom roms are on the schedule.
Beamed in by telepathy.
We know that Netflix has disappeared form the play store for those of us running custom Roms, but there have been workarounds. What I have been unable to work around is Vudu.
I suspect it is complaining of the Widevine L3 (no root but unlocked bootloader automatically sets to L3), but it has stopped logging in (works on my stock pixel) and I cannot get a response from support.
I suppose my only surefire way to get everything back to 100% is to do a full revert to stock.
Very displeased with the way the DRM is ruining our tablets...
I know some are heading to MoviesAnywhere (which does work - for now), but my tv shows don't port there.
So right as I got the phone I unlocked the bootloader, always do it since I like messing around with my phone. All my apps installed fine except for Netflix. According to some articles it looks like Netflix blocks anyone who unlocks their bootloader. Apparently they made this change back in May but I do not have this issue with my unlocked 5x(still on 7) or Shield K1(also on 7). Even stranger is that while Netflix shows as incompatible with my device, I can install Netflix VR, which is an exact replica of the Netflix app but in a VR room.
I also read that some people had an issue installing Netflix with phones that were 18:9 display ratio. Is anyone else having this issue? Maybe post if you are or are not and what your bootloader status is.
flash this kernel
patches CTS so you pass safetynet

Just install the apk from Netflix, they have it available, Google it, but it won't update unless you download the newer versions as they release.
My bootloader is unlocked. I also did the flash unlock critical. I also could not download it from the play store, but I downloaded the latest version from APKMirror, and it works just perfectly on my 18:9 2 XL screen. It fills the entire screen automatically with no black bars on the side.

As metioned in that title, does anyone know for sure if the pixel XL supports Widevine L1 DRM? According to the app DRM info, my pixel XL does not. That seems odd for a phone coming from Google. Seeing that and not really using root let to me going back full stock (was using stock + magidk + unlocked bootloader before but now stock and locked). No change though and the DRM info app still shows Widevine LET. Not a major issue right now but it bothers me more that it doesn't appear to support the proper DRM protection than anything else.
Anyone able to at least check this on their unrooted pixel XL phones?
Today Disney+ launched in my Region and I was keen to try it out.
Unfortunately I couldn't.
I received a cryptic "Error 39" trying to play back anything.
I then found that Netflix doesn't work either (Stuck loading anything),
Prime Video was the most helpful throwing a "Decryption Failure"
The phone passed Safetynet and shows Widevine L1. Any suggestion how to fix this?
As a workaround, I found the liboemcrypto disabler which restored partial functionality. With this Module I can watch all three Services, but Widevine Level changes to L3 and I therefore get a max resolution of 540p.
Is this just the state of play in 2020 or on Android 10?
I don't have any problem on my rooted P20 Pro (Android 9, Full HD).
Given your P20 Pro is unaffected, it probably has to do with Samsung Knox even though it passes Safeynet.
Any news on this? Is it possible to keep an S20+ Ultra 5G (european) on Widevine L1 with unlocked bootloader a Magisk Root? And working netflix-like apps?
Thanks in advance.

Not that I am aware. I have since sold the Phone, and gotten it back with bad ebay feedback after the buyer complained to Paypal that the phone was broken because Samsung Pass didn't work - despite me clearly writing that I have unlocked the Bootloader and tripped Knox in the description
Now attempting to sell it again. I don't want a phone without Call Recorder and Widevine Level 1, so Samsung is no longer an option for me.
