Netflix for rooted ?

Has anyone been able to get Netflix to work on a rooted device?
does anyone have any tricks for getting Netflix to work? I am on 10. 0.9, 1905 variant. Rooted with magisk

I'm rooted and Netflix works fine?

I forgot to mention I'm on aosip so maybe that's why.
Go into magisk hide and select Netflix from the list. Then go into magisk settings and click hide magisk manager from list.
Then wipe cache and data on Netflix and try that.

Strange that it don't work for you, working without a problem on my latest oos beta 7t.
Have you tried latest builds from apkmirror.com or try a older build and test

Disable netflix app in setting and install another netflix via apk file, it will work

For me (European version) Netflix was pre-installed. In general: to see and install Netflix you need to pass SafetyNet. This means enabling Magisk Hide, clearing the data of the Play Store (then it should way "official device" in the Settings menu and maybe a patched custom kernel though I'm not sure if the latter is necessary. After that, I can see Netflix and also install it.

1 - Make sure you're aren't tripping the safetynet test.
2 - Make sure you have hidden magisk manager and magisk from detections
If you still find netflix incompatible, clear data and cache of play store and Google play services and reboot.

This worked with me, w/o the customer kernel - also EU version. Thanks!

Netflix(release 4.16.0) is working on my Galaxy S8 rooted by Magisk.
You need to add a 'liboemcrypto disabler' module to your device using Magisk. And the latest release of Netflix may not be working on rooted device.
Recommended to use 4.x

The most important is SafetyNet.
(After rooting with Magisk my test fails so I used MagiskHide Props Config and got new fingerprint certificat which allowed me to pass test)
As long as you still pass SafetyNet you are going to "see" Netflix in PlayStore and get updates. Of course use also Magisk Hide and select Google Play services.
Netflix latest, updated from store 7.73.1

What widevine level are you getting? Are you L1 or L3? Even if you can get Netflix installed you may be stuck with 480p due to Widevine L3.

Exactly, Netflix and other OTT apps work fine but Widevine drops to L3 bringing down the max supported resolution to just 480p.
L3+root isn't possible IMO.

It's impossible to get L1 on a 7T with an unlocked bootloader as of now... As a general rule of thumb, a bootloader unlock will break the L1 certification. There are some exceptions to this rule though. Some Xiaomi devices and the OnePlus 8 series (on newer firmware) are able to maintain it.

I'm on an LG v20 that I just flashed LineageOS 17.1, and I couldn't get SafetyNet passing. I followed this process for props :
Oh and I'm running Gamma Kernel v20.0, if that matters to anyone. Hope this helps! (This is in addition to MagiskHide stuff of course).

Press the magnifying glass in the botton right corner
and make sure show system apps in enabled as well as os apps. Maybe Netflix is installed as a system app on your phone.

Yes you are correct!!!!!! How awesome is that!!! I finally learned something today yay!!! It's their just like you said just like magic. Still not used to this device coming from many prior Samsung devices using Magisk. Your the best Thanks.

Thanks so very much for your help... I feel like an idiot after using Magisk For years and years on this device and many other Samsung devices without issue... On the other hand... I've never encountered this specific issue as everything's always functioned... Thanks for the education is appreciated greatly. I'm intrigued what else I can utilize our accomplish with this information. You're the best.
Don't know why I didn't know that by now lol...
Thanks for teaching me something new today. I'm greatful for you assistance. Cheers

Oh well was hoping hiding Netflix would may be fix my Widevine L3 and restore it back to L1. But, knew it wouldn't and it didn't but at least I now know and at least was able to finally figure out how to try. Thanks again

What oxygen os version are you running if I may ask? If you upgrade to Stock OOS11 you can get widevine L1 with unlocked bootloader and magisk installed. It also works with Amazon video and other encrypted video playback apps very nicely!

Upgrade to OOS 11. L1 will be completely fixed even with an unlocked bootloadee

Great to know thanks... But how does OOS11 performance? I'm hearing all kinds of problems...(?) that I'd rather not have since widevine is the only real problem (since I've had this device at it's release).
I've tried almost everything to fix this L3 issue and failed.... Plus, I'm stubborn so failure ain't an option even if failure is the ultimate solution LOL!
The biggest concern is the lack of a working TWRP for the 7T. My Samsung with TWRP was so fun to play with (back up, play with... break... restore... Breath again all good).
Thanks for the information cause it's finally nice to have a reliable source on the matter.

Well I uninstalled Netflix and did OOS 11.01.1 update...
Still Play Store device certified and Safetynet passed in Magisk Manager
Still L3 and no L1 so I don't know now...
So I can't yet figure this out...
Not sure if you can help get this back to L1 cause I'm don't know what else I'm missing unless it's hide the Magisk app (while Magisk hide is enabled) and/or hiding Netflix (now that I know how to)

No issue here though. Running the global 7T update with OOS 11.0.1.1. I have proper L1 support with an unlocked bootloader and Magisk. You could factory reset your phone and check that way. I did restore my phone completely after updating to Android 11

Yikes
The reset is yes my complete last resort.
Cause, the OnePlus back up/restore will make a successful back up - but, when I try to transfer it to my computer it causes an error and quits. So the back file sizes are significantly different between the phone and the computer. Having said that, I believe I was successful to transfer the back up data to a USB storage. So, I'm hoping that I can restore from that after device reset.... Thanks

Question : widevine, mcdonalds, banking app and root?

Hello!
I will receive a oneplus 9 pro next week and wonder if i shall root it or not. I want to use titanium backup and a few other apps that need root permission, but i also dont want to loose widevine level 1 for netflix and amazon video in hd, want to use my banking app and mcdonalds app.
i havent followed the magisk/root discussion for maybe a year or two (used a unrooted stock phone), so i am not up to date how things are at the moment.
just to be clear, please can someone answer the following questions:
1.) is unlocking bootloader (no root afterwards) enough to loose widevine level 1? can level 1 be gained again when bootloader is locked again or is lost permanent (like triggering knox with samsung).
2.) any problems with mcdonalds app and magisk? google pay?
after reading to the internet on the subject totday, i get the impression that rooting nowadays causes more problems thn benefits, but maybe i get a wrong impression.

Use the canary builds of Magisk, enable MagiskHide, and toggle the apps in question, and you're golden. Also, just to be sure, toggle it on for Google stuff like the Google app, Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Netflix, McDonald's, GPay, and any other banking or streaming subscription apps. Might want to have Magisk hide its self by changing the app name and signature as well.

thank you for the information.
so i will definitely not loose widevine l1 with unlocking bootloader and root?
to hide magisk itself (change name and signature), i just need to turn this option on in magisk and not need to do this in a manual way?

Correct, by default it will change to a "default" app icon and rename itself to "Settings" but you can easily still tell it from the device's own system Settings app.

one last question.
following this root instruction https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-magisk-unlock-root-keep-root-oos-11-2-7-7.4252373/ , do i have to use the provided boot images? i feel safer to download the full ota from oneplus official site and extract payload.bin and then use payload dumper to get a boot.img.

If you are leery of using someone else's boot.img, feel free to do that if you'd like. But regardless, be sure to boot the image, don't flash it. Booting it not only gives you the temporary root access to install Magisk yourself, but also ensures that the patched boot.img is actually valid.

v23 has a fix for SafetyNet API. It looks like that supersedes anything from the last canary/debug builds, so it's probably safe to stick with that. Everything else is the same, though.

Latest stable Magisk build. I'm saying you won't need to mess with canary/debug.

When you turn on hide then hide the app the in the settings then your allowed to do anything you like but also hide it in the menu of magisk then your all done don't flash to much crap and magisk hide module is not really finished yet for this device good luck
I rooted it the second i got it
And don't use canary builds of magisk only if you want to run your phone very unstable i recommend the stable version

thanks alot for the information.
i still hazzle to root. i had a oneplus 3 2 years ago and had magisk root/custom rom/twrp, but i also had issues on regular basis and spent alot of time on xda and with flashing. dont know if i want this again or just a phone that works.
and just to be sure:
in case i loose my widevine level 1 because of root or bootloader unlock: will it come back when locking bootloader again and/or unroot. or will it be level 3 forever?

Wildvine L1 is not always retained when unlocking the bootloader. If I unlock mine, I go to L3 every single time, but when I lock it back, I go back to L1. I've tested this 3 times and it happened all 3 times.

Well to be honest I never had that problem and i need to have my binance hidden as well and everything works well but with some games like slime hunter i really need to hide magisk it self too from the settings but when you do they everything will be working okay. And so far I have seen with magisk hide module what you can download is that there are no keys yet for using in op9p (could be changed didn't check it for a while now)

General Netflix on unlocked/rooted P6P, without SafetyNet

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.

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.

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).

How To Guide Gain L1 on OnePlus 9 Pro T-Mobile (Widevine)

Hi guys,
Just made a breakthrough discovery!
To gain Widevine:
Crossflash EU firmware to your device with craznazn's MSM here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586337355, unlock bootloader but DO NOT update yet! Then, you want to flash magisk, reboot and turn on Zygisk and do whatever you need to pass SafetyNet.
Afterwards, you can upgrade, it should be a FULL system upgrade, not an incremental. It should detect root and download ~3000 MB. Install the update and reboot, you should get L1 now!

Nice find! Too bad I used the Indian MSM on my T-Mobile variant so I can't cross-flash anymore.

It also seems to survive MSM flashing, updates, custom ROMs, and bootloader locking/relocking

Do you think it'll work for me when though I use the OP9 Indian MSM?

Not sure. You'd have to unlock bootloader first, then do a full system upgrade to check.

I'm already unlocked. It doesn't really matter though since I haven't given a yit about L1 since, ever. Just didn't know if you knew or not.

I didn't use your method to get to c.63 (a12) for my TMobile OnePlus 9 pro. i dont know i can back to tmobile stock. Now I currently rooted and using magisk. All video apps work but I can't get L1 widedine. Is there another way?

Thanks for this. I have a 9 pro coming.
Edited
Thanks

I've had success using this method to keep L1 up to A12, but any attempt to upgrade to A13 downgrades Widevine to L3.

What is l1? What is widevine?

It is the security level of the firmware. It effects the certain apps like banking apps etc...

L1 is a drm (digital rights content management) state. L1 means the content is being digitally decoded or decrypted in a trusted environment. (I believe some of these are done in hardware with hardware verification only). It is the highest protection level.
In short, some apps will not work or will not play HD content without L1 state of drm. For us, when we lose L1, we go to L3. This could mean apps won't work at all, or they could be reduced in functionality.
Netflix for example, with L3, is limited to 480p video (however some bypass this with casting and get to 720p resolution).
Typically, when you unlock the bootloader of a phone, it will drop drm to L3 as it's considered a not-trusted environment.
This behavior is mixed by device, firmware versions and sometimes region (I have read some devices have shipped without Widevine keys to certain areas). This is bypass-able in some devices. For example, my 9P on oos11 is L1 with bootloader unlocked and rooted, using the standard magisk modules for Safetynet and clearing system cache.
Some phones will not regain L1 with unlocked bootloader (and maybe some versions of firmware also). They will be stuck with L3 Widevine until they relock the bootloader or unroot. And some firmwares are broken and will not have L1 because they implemented drm wrong.
On my 10T, netflix would not launch with unlocked bootloader. That may have been resolved by now but I was limited to L3 in drm checker (play store app) anyway.
For my 9P, I lost L1 (to L3) when I flashed Eu conversion to 11.2.2.2 - someone said that was an issue with early OnePlus firmwares where they implemented drm wrong or the key was problematic somehow. Whether that's true or not, I regained L1 when I temporarily unrooted and took the OTA.
This is likely going to be an increasing problem going forward as more devices go to hardware (only) attestation for everything. I suspect we will eventually see a magisk method of patching these apps and running them as modded apks. There used to be some patched netflix apks around. I think forced updates and signature checking made these obsolete. We may eventually see someone modify the individual apks, perhaps injecting a software mechanism for drm. Like taking the entire process of decoding, from an older device, into the apk itself. That might be overkill for the situation but eventually these bypasses we have currently, will not work anymore. We will be relying on some form of device spoofing, patching apks, standalone or redirected drm decoding, or a combination of all of those things.
That's assuming someone with that much skill is interested in doing all or any of that work.
Perhaps we will reach a point where unlocked bootloader or rooting breaks regular use so much that it's no longer worth the headache. It seems that's what they're going for. 'They' being app developers and phone manufacturers.

Excellent summary of Widevine! I've tested extensively using every method I could find on XDA, and I've come to the conclusion that it isn't possible to attain L1 status in A13 with an unlocked bootloader on my OP 9 Pro.

Have you surveyed others on a13 to see their Widevine state? I have heard some users on custom roms (In crDroid group) using 13, claiming they're L1. I haven't verified that first hand, just saw it in threads and telegram groups.
If it's true that I can't retain or regain L1 in regular stock oos13, I will never make the move to 13

2. https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed.github.io/releases/tag/shamiko-126
3. In Magisk, hide Magisk, enable Zygisk, Configure DenyList (make sure all Google apps and Netflix are selected) and DO NOT enforce DenyList (for Shamiko to work). The Mount Namespace Mode should be Isolated Namespace.
4. Google Play Services, Google Play Store, and Netflix, clear storage. Restart your phone and give it some time. You should be able to search and find Netflix in Google Play Store (may need to try few times to force Google to check your phone), the Netflix should pass L1 too.
5. DO NOT use MagiskHide Props Config, it's not working at all.

I'm on stock A13 unlocked and rooted with Magisk. I did all of this exactly as listed and am still stuck at L3.

You can try to reset you phone and finish all steps without login your account first. See if there is any difference. But it's probably will not work.
The best solution is to go back to stock OOS11 and flash Omega or Arter97 kernel since the leak is probably kernel side and only custom kernels can hide it.

I've done enough flashing for a while. I'll leave it to someone else to try.

I got L1 with unlocked bootloader and Magisk.
I have LE2110. I used MSM tool (Global) to get back to OOS 11. It locked the bootloader; it always does. So I set up the phone offline (without connecting to WiFi or Mobile Data). Then I upgraded to OOS 11.2.10.10 version through local upgrade. Then opened Developer Options for OEM Unlocking. The option was greyed out and it asked to connect to internet. So I connected my WiFi for a minute or two until that OEM Unlocking was available. I enabled it, and disconnected WiFI. I DID NOT login to my Google account or opened Play Store. I rebooted to fastboot, and unlocked bootloader. Then rebooted. Then did the initial setup again (without connecting to WiFi or Mobile Data). Then I turned off and got the boot.img through MSM tool's readback option. (I was on slot_b so I got boot_b from MSM). Patched this boot.img with Magisk. Booted it temporarily and then through Magisk app, gainded permanent root by Direct Install. Rebooted. Enabled Zygisk from Magisk and Enforce Denylist, and rebooted again. Installed Universal SafetyNet Fix through Magisk and rebooted again. Opened Magisk and hid the Magisk app (just named it Settings; it installed and then showed root lost, but I just closed the app, and reopened new hidden Magisk again). Rebooted. Then I went ahead and connected to WiFi, logged in to my Google account and stuff. Checked from YASNAC and DRM Info and found that Safety Net passed as well as got L1.
I did not put any Google related app to Denylist.
