Is it possible to restore Netflix after flashing? - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

It's been already 3-4 days where I'm flashing, bricking and restoring my phone, all this for a crappy gcam... But anyway, after first flash I see that OTA updates are ****ed up, but that's ok, Netflix still works just fine. Fast forwarding to today, I flash again stock ROM after being stuck without touchscreen on TWRP, but this time weirdly enough OTA updates work just fine, in fact now I'm have March update, but Netflix just doesn't install itself. So I check on the play store and I don't find it, I check on internet and I see that it doesn't work on rooted phones... Guess what, mine isn't rooted at all. But still has it's bootloader unlocked.

Do you have Google Play Protect ON in Settings -> Security & location?

install netflix from apkmirror, Wipe data and cache from playstore and reboot. It could be the bootloader unlocked, in that case youll have to root it with magisk to get the safetnet working.

Error downloading app from Play Store

I took my GNex in the evening from the Assistance Center where they changed my broken MicroUSB port.
They flashed on it 4.0.4 ICS and they unlocked the bootloader.
I update the system with OTA to 4.3 stock.
In order to try the Xposed Framework I used the Toolkit to take root access.
Then, connecting my Google account, when Play Store started to install all of my apps it prompted out an infinite list of error:
first (403)
then (920)
Flashed two times 4.3 stock via Toolkit, locked and unlocked, rooted and unrooted but... nothing.
Also tried to delete my account, delete play store data, delete framework data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik... nothing works.
Phone is uselss in this way... so if anyone has figured out what to do, please let me know.

I seem to have the same problem. I can't update nor download apps from the play store because I keep getting 403 errors.
Everything was fine until I flashed CM REMIX rom. That's when I started getting the errors. However nobody is complaining about anything like this on their thread. I've also tried using different gapps packages.
Could it be a server side thing? My other devices seem to be working fine on the same network...

I saw on another android board that this is happening also on some brand new Nexus 5, activated just today.
Almost sure it's a server side thing at this point.

If it is, I hope it gets fixed soon, coz my phone barely has any apps right now...
If it's not a server thing I'll try to flash my old rom to see if it helps.

Since you are flashing the official 4.3 rom, I really think the problem will just go away by it self (hopefully very soon)
Edit: It started working now all by it self!

Netflix issues after root?

Hi all, I recently rooted my phone and for some reason Netflix won't launch at all. It just hangs on the Netflix logo. If I reninstall the app on first launch the app will force close and then after re-lauch it will once again hang on the Netflix logo. I've cleared the cache and deleted any folders relating to netflix. I'm not sure what to try next or if anyone has any advice on how to fix this that would be amazing. thank you!
Edit: I've found a solution to this problem! Follow this guide here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...le-netflix-t3708126/post74586497#post74586497
After downloading and installing the old April 2017 Netflix app simply lauch
The app and sign in. After you have signed in update the app on Google play
And you should be good to go! Hope this helps anyone else with the same

Netflix doesn't work on rooted deviced it checks if your device is rooted and if so won't work.

I've had Netflix work on every previous rooted phone i have had, is this just a Razer phone issue? Even hiding the root from Netflix in Magisk doesn't seem to do anything.

The bootloader needs to be locked. I would not advise trying it unless the phone is 100% stock as there have been issues mentioned in the past.

It's either root or bootloader it checks but it's only something they started doing months ago. pokemon go does it too.

Damn, that's discouraging. No wonder why I've been holding off rooting this device. I'm not use to a/b root anyway. Before my razer, I had an s5 for many years so I know a lot of things have changed since then.

Keep Play Certification with Unlocked Bootloader?

I had to completely wipe my phone since recently the battery life started tanking hard, and I couldn't figure out why. I decided to just start over from a clean slate, since I had the same configuration since I got the phone about a year or two ago (stock Android 9, unlocked, and rooted with Magisk and EdXposed).
I figured that I would flash the July image without wipe first, but the battery issue persisted. I then decided to just flash it with the wipe (after backing up data, of course), and the battery seemed to be a bit better while I was setting up.
The problem I'm now having is that my device seems to be missing Play Certification. I noticed this when I was unable to install Netflix from the Play Store (although Google Pay seemed to work fine?). I've tried flashing the image several times, and even tried older images, but I can't seem to keep Play Certification.
I tried locking the bootloader after flashing the July image, and that finally gave me Play Certification and I was able to download Netflix.
Obviously however, I need to keep an unlocked bootloader for other things too.
Is there any way to get Netflix (and Play Certification) to work with an unlocked bootloader?
Doesn't MagiskHide provide just what you're asking for? If you don't want to use Magisk, maybe try PeNoire's SafetyNet Spoofer which works without Magisk but still requires a custom recovery like TWRP.

How would I get MagiskHide to work with Netflix without being able to install the app from the Play Store? Would enabling hide for the PS work, or do I need to sideload the app and then use Hide on the app?

Netflix doesn't care about the existence of Magisk once it is already installed on your device. So don't get confused there. You're problem is with the Play Store, specifically with SafetyNet. One step at a time;
When you unlock your bootloader, you are going to fail some SafetyNet checks. This will result in a restricted Play Store, meaning, certain apps won't be visible to you. To circumvent that, you flash something like Magisk or PetNoire to hide your bootloaders state to SafetyNet checks. This will result in an unrestricted Play Store. Unlock, install Magisk or PetNoire and then you should be able to get unrestricted access to Play Store apps.
Unlock the bootloader of your device
Install the latest version of Magisk
MagiskHide should be enabled by default, if not:
Download and install PetNoir's SafetyNet Spoofer

I've tried this, but something seems to not be working, or I'm doing something wrong.
I have Magisk 19.3 installed, and I can see that MagiskHide was automatically enabled for ”com.google.android.gms.unstable" under Google Play services, but Play Store Certification still shows that my device isn't certified, and Netflix won't appear.
The SafetyNet check in MagiskManager passes, however, so I'm wondering if there's something else going on. I'm going to try the other suggested SafetyNet bypass.
EDIT: Installed the other Spoofer, and the Certification listing in the Play Store disappeared, but Netflix is still nowhere to be seen. I tried uninstalling all updates for the Store and clearing storage and cache, but still nothing.
Wondering if I should just sideload Netflix and see if it works fine.
EDIT2: After a few moments, the Play Store now says that my device is certified, but I'm still unable to find Netflix in the Store for some reason. Tried rebooting and clearing cache but still nothing.

You just need to install Netflix through apk, not playstore. it is working well

I'v been been having the same issue for about 5-6 months now with both Android 9 and 10. It was working fine on Pie and showing up in Google Play, but then after I flashed one of the monthly system images with a wipe, the app no longer showed up in the play store. And after I restored the most recent Netflix app at the time from a backup, it would constantly crash. I have all Google Play Services, Google Play and Netflix selected in Magisk hide. Google Play says my device is certified. Magisk SafetyNet test passes along with any SafetyNet test app. Logged out of my Google account, wiped data for Google Play, Google Play services and Netflix, rebooted and signed back in but still not showing up. Downloaded and installed the newest Netflix app from their site but I get an error stating the device is not supported with the app which clearly isn't the case.
Can you select this link and have it open in the Google Play app on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient&hl=en_US
It shows up for me but says in red font: "This app isn't compatible with your device anymore. Contact the developers for more info". Which I did...went back and forth with Google and Netflix for hours yesterday, but both of their support is completely useless.
The newest version of the app that works for me is version 6.26.1. You can download it here if you haven't already: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-6-26-1-build-15-31696-release/
The only thing is how long is it going to continue to work. A future update will most likely break that version as well.
Have you made any progress since July?

That's actually the exact same version of Netflix that I was able to get working, and I've been using it since July.
It works exactly as it should, but the resolution seems to be capped at 480p or 720p, as I notice a lot of blurriness. It's still usable, but I'm considering getting rid of Magisk and going to 10 to avoid these issues.
Reading on what you've done, it's exactly what I went through in July.
I'm not sure what's changed since prior to updating to another security patch, Netflix was working completely fine from the Play Store with Magisk.

Yeah and also after a few minutes of watching a video, the screen dims like right before your phone auto-locks itself due to inactivity. So far the only way I was able to get it to show back up in Google Play was re-locking the bootloader, but that's not really an option for me since I want to stay rooted. But it really doesn't make any sense since all the SafetyNet compatibility tests pass and the device is certified. Maybe I'll try reaching out to the Magisk dev and see if he's willing to take a look into it.

I don't seem to have that screen dimming issue, so it's possible that something else is going on on your end for that.
It's possible that Netflix is able to detect root through some other way that's irrelevant to Google Play Protection. And it could also be a thing where the resolution is limited if you're not on the latest version.
If I do figure something out in the future, I'll be sure to post here again.

I don't think the issue is because of being rooted, but instead the unlocked bootloader as it still doesn't show up after uninstalling Magisk or after a system image flash with wipe. Like I mentioned earlier, the only way I can get it to show in Google Play or have the newest version work when side loaded at this point is when the bootloader is locked. So if you don't mind not being rooted or being able to manually flash updates without a factory reset each time, just re-lock your bootloader (just remember to backup your data since it wipes your phone) and Netflix should work normally again.
But I'll be sure post here as well if I come across anything that works.
What you both need is to install/flash a custom kernel...
On top of many multiple things a custom kernel can do, one significant thing is to be able to mask root on many/most root detecting processes. When I first rooted 2 years ago, I couldn't get Google Pay to work because of the root detecting. I had inadvertently flashed a custom kernel, and was pleasantly surprised that Google Pay began to work (back then, but now more than a custom kernel is required).
The best general all-around custom kernel was called Flash, but that became EOL and stopped development, but one called Caesium was built based off of Flash and continued from there; even collaborated with the maker of Flash.
Give it a try, and see how it works wonders for both your issue (root detection) battery life, and even responsiveness of the system!
Hope this helps...

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll make sure to try this after updating to the latest Pie build. I'm sure that this will work, as I remember using a custom kernel last time that Netflix was working just fine for me.
I also just found a thread with a stock kernel infused with a SafetyNet patch that says that Netflix and other apps refused to work on unlocked bootloader devices because something trips in SafetyNet, leading me to believe that this is what me and @giants8058 have been experiencing.
I will let everyone know if this works later this week.

You have to flash a custom Kernel to hide bootloader unlock. After you flash the custom kernel the play store will still show as not being certified. You will have to force stop the play store then delete the cache and storage. When you reboot it will show that it is certified.

I flash the August stock build along with the Sultan kernel (as I couldn't get Caesium or the SafetyNet patched kernel to flash), and followed your instructions, but my Play Store isn't showing my device as certified yet.
Is there something else I need to do?

1. Download TWRP 3.3.0 img file
2. Download TWRP 3.3.0 zip file (optional)
3. Download Magisk 19.3
4. Download kernel of choice. (I use Sultan)
5. Boot to fastboot
6. Boot to TWRP. (fastboot boot TWRP. Img) I shorten the file name to make it easier.
7. Flash kernel first if using Sultan
8. Flash TWRP zip. (optional)
9. Flash Magisk 19.3
10. Let phone boot then delete data/cache in play store.
11. Reboot phone
These are the steps I use. If I remember correctly there was a couple of versions of the play store that showed uncertified no matter what. The latest play store version is 16.5.15. I can confirm it works. I also hide Google Play services in Magisk hide but I don't think that's needed unless you want Google Pay to work.

Those steps are actually exactly what I did, but the certification label in the settings is missing, and Netflix won't appear.
If it means anything, I noticed that I actually had Sultan kernel installed before doing any of this, so it might be that the kernel isn't working on my end.

Well...I can say, at least, that I am having the same experience as murphyjasonc and am able to get "Play Protect Certification" certified and I have an unlocked bootloader with root and even a custom recovery.
I would make sure you do as he suggests and at the very least disable or "uninstall updates" for the Play Store and Google Play Services. But, also, custom kernels are things that also need to be updated; so this might be the explanation on it no longer working. But I know you had recently reflashed Sultan, so it is rather puzzling that you are still having those issues.
Just making sure, you are using TWRP to install the latest version of those kernels, correct? Also, when you had ran the August patch, did you use the Full Factory version? Are you able to pass safetynet currently?
Hopefully retrying these will get things up and running...

I used the latest version of TWRP to install the August OTA patch, as well as to install the latest Sultan kernel.
I just ran a SafetyNet test in MagiskManager and it passed correctly.

I just ran a SafetyNet test in MagiskManager and it passed correctly.

Give this a try...
instead of the OTA, try the Full Factory version -- and be sure to remove the "-w" in the flash-all to keep your data intact -- and then, also, be sure to disable/"uninstall updates" for both the Google Play Store and the Google Play Services (you can enable it after disabling it of course). After that, boot up TWRP and flash the Sultan kernel and Magisk and see if you don't have the certification after all that.
If you don't know; you can't simply run the Full Factory .zip's in TWRP, so if you don't know how to do a Full Factory version, I can point you in the right direction...
Good luck!

Question Unable to install Netflix after rooting

So, I managed to root this beauty 1+9 Pro relatively easily.
I got Magisk installed, and hid all the Apps that needed hiding.
Even Google Pay works.
But I can't for my sanity figure out why Netflix or Android OS 11 is refusing to let me install Netflix.
Everytime I try to install the Netflix App latest APK, extracted from my old working phone ( Razer Phone 2 also rooted), it will just give me the error message " Sorry No Application Available "
Does anyone have a clue what can be done to make Netflix install in a rooted 1+9 Pro ?
Thanks.
BTW i tried several Netflix App version already.
Also I do know the APK works because I used it to install on another Tablet that will not show up Netflix on Google store.

Is Netflix currently installed as a system app? I wasn't able to uninstall that or get it working, so when I was on 11.2.2.2 I managed to fix it by installing a *newer* version of the Netflix apk that I grabbed from apkpure.com, over top of the system app. Then I had the same issue again on 11.2.4.4, and that method didn't work anymore. However, that time it let me uninstall updates to the app and then update in the play store.
I dont know how exactly, but Netflix still detects the rooted device and denies the install from google play, I think based in the unocked boot loader not sure.
I managed to install from apkmirror and is working fine now.
there is a catch though.
They are moving away from simple apk install and using apk bundles, like some sort of tarball with several apks in it, so you will need this apkm installer app for it to install the newer version. to get this installer working you need to disabled MIUI optimizations from dev options. thats all, I got mine working this passed saturday that way
EDIT: never mind with that MIUI option i thought this was a diffirent model, none the less the apkmirror is still worth a shot
I some how managed to force install it via Titanium Backup, but then it gives me another error when I try to run Netflix App.
" This device is not supported by the app "
it's running the latest version Netflix v7.102.0 build 12 35461
You have to install Magisk Canary, once you do so reboot the phone. Wipe Google play stores data and cache.. magisk hide Netflix and the Google Play Services reboot once more. That's how I got mine to work.
Install: liboemcrypto disabler
from Magisk, reboot ....enjoy

Yeah, I got the SafetyNet thing fixed.
However still unable to install Netflix.
still getting "App Not Installed" error, when I try to install the APK.
I tried installing the "liboemcrypto disabler " as suggested a few messages back, and also doesn't seem to make any difference.

I just did after reading this.
It's not showing up in Google Play store.
It's just so weird, everything else works, Google Pay (wallet), Pokemon Go, Banking Apps, everything else that usually will complain and refuse to run when Root is detected, are all working fine, except for Netflix.

I'm thinking maybe I'll need to un-root my phone, update Netflix, see if it runs without root, if it works, then try to root again and figure how to go from there.
... what a hassle

I did this and had the same problem while unrooted, so it turned out to be a waste of time. It seems to have an issue with the unlocked bootloader, not just root. At least with root you can hide unlocked status, which is a step in the right direction. Hide root from Netflix, and also hide magisk app itself in magisk settings.
If you're trying to install Netflix over the system app, make sure to first uninstall updates to the system app so it's the oldest possible version. Then make sure whatever version you're installing on top (whether from play store or APK download) is newer than your installed version. Older versions will not install over newer ones.

There are sai versions floating around here that work search xda also make sure you magisk hide Netflix before you open it initially. Or hide them clear cache and data on netflix

Update.
Minor good news.
I wiped the phone from recovery mode.
So, the phone is kind of factory mode, I completed the "new" phone setup thing, and the first thing I went to try was Netflix and it worked.
So... it appears to be something to do with Root and/or Magisk being detected.
Update 2
More good news, I rooted it again, installed Magisk and Netflix is still working.
Not sure why it wasn't working before, also not quite sure what was the actual fix.
I don't really consider a full system wipe a "fix" but well that did it for me.

So, I just imported Apps and Data from the old phone again via Google "setup my device" transfer, and now Netflix got disabled again.
I'll try again and skip Google transfer to find out if that helps.
I can always use One+ Switch App to see if that is better.

OnePlus switch will still result in the same issue. Clear data and cache,install the app link I provided and make sure magiskhide is set to on.

Seems like it worked,

Question MIUI 13.0.3.0.SKHEUXM on Xiaomi Poco F3

Hello everyone.
Today I decided to update my phone (12.5.8 Enhanced) to the latest MIUI version. I was kind of skeptical going into it, but still went with it thinking "why not?" When the update finished and the phone booted, it immediately rebooted and I thought maybe that's supposed to do that, but then it rebooted again, this time to MIUI Recovery mode. And now I discovered that whenever the phone tries to connect to the WIFI or Mobile data, it reboots. Every time. When the internet is turned off, it doesn't. And I noticed that my phone has become a bit laggy and not as responsive as with the previous version of MIUI I had on it, even the refresh rate isn't working properly, it says 120hz but clearly it's 60hz. The update rendered my phone hardly usable. What could be the problem? Has any Poco F3 users encountered these problems? What should I do next? Should I really consider flashing a custom ROM?
Thank you in advance, any help is kindly appreciated.
Wow. This is just with a System update on a phone with a locked bootloader?
You could try to format data... aka. Factory Reset.
If you unlock your bootloader, you must be aware of the downsides. Some apps won't work (atleast not without a workaround), like Banking apps, Netflix, Super Mario Kart, Google Pay.
That's cuz Google's SafetyNet API reports to those apps that the Security-Status of your phone is "Fail", because of the unlocked bootloader.
You can hide it with Custom ROMs that specifically list "SafetyNet passed" or by using Magisk Root with a SafetyNet Fix Module. Or Both idk whatever.
I use Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM on Android 12 with Magisk Root. Everything works, but this stupid cat & mouse game with Google and Android Modders definitely sucks.
I have a POCO F3 phone. No problems. Hope you used windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat. In your case, you must not use the windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat option.
I have been using MIUI 13.0.3.0.SKHEUXM for a while. There was no problem.
Now I'm on MIUI 22.3.2 / 3 (weekly). I recommend. Works great, amazingly smooth, great option for new sidebar widgets ...
Of course, you need to have an unlocked bootloader. Look here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/howto-install-fastboot-image-update-info-no-ota-download.64508/
I have an unlocked bootloader. NETFLIX and Google Pay work without any problems.
Rule no.1 of miui: never update until the community approves of the update. there are always bugs, sometimes some are fixed, but other show up.
Im sure that there'll be a new update which will solve these problems soon, but who knows what kinds of issues you'll have after that. Maybe you should unlock the bootloader and flash back to miui 12.5x stock, so that you can actually use your phone.

Exactly, all are said here ... No probleme with stable and weekly version ... Balaam custom kernel can help also on those rom.
After any major OS update ( I mean moving from one version of android to another) It is recommended to do a factory reset to your phone just after the update finishes.
I always do it for my phones and I did the same for my Poco F3 and had no issues so far. The phone works great, battery improved drastically for me and overall feels fresh.
Try to do a factory reset and see how it goes. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DATA.
Thanks for the replies.

The thing is, in order to do a factory reset on the phone I have to connect to the Internet which is the thing that's causing the phone to reboot.
Can I do it like through the MIUI Recovery panel? Is it the same?

Yes you can do that, you either boot to recovery from option in the update menu or hold volume up and power while the phone is turned off, then select wipe data. Just make sure to delete Mi account from setting and google account ( I know you have no internet but just making sure so you won't get stuck if somehow you forget your password). Good luck.
Got the same problem with the refresh rate.. 120hz option doesn't work and just does 60hz. I'm using the update my phone gave me. No beta or custom stuff. Just got the 13.0.3 global stable update. 120hz isn't working. Are there any better options for me now? I was thinking about flashing the previous 12.5 update back again. I heard someone here say I can use the xiaomi.eu custom ROM which works to root that one.. where can I find that ROM? And how do I flash that. (I've rooted phones before with magisk) but forgot most of it haha. So what's my best option here? I need my 120hz

Yeah, the refresh rate not working as intended is frustrating. As with the downgrading and flashing, I'm afraid I can't help you with it, because I haven't done anything with flashing/rooting and all that kind of stuff. Wishing the best for you.
Kindest regards and best of luck

Yoo. Some dude on Reddit found the solution!!!! You have to disable miui optimisation. Go to developer settings. Then all the way down somewhere it says: reset to default values. Click that a few times. Now a setting a bit down should pop up saying: "enable miui optimisation" enable that if it isn't already. Then disable it again. Now go to display settings and switch to 60 then back to 120 and there you go. You can now enjoy your 120hz again

Banking apps work if you don't root the phone. Descendant ROM for instance passes SafetyNet as long as you do not install Magisk.

Hi, is there a way to use MIUI launcher instead of Poco launcher on poco f3 MIUI 13 locked bootloader ?? Thanks !
Since the upgrade, the audio from my phone cuts out after a few minutes and I have to restart it. I use bluetooth earphones to listen to the 'BBC Sounds' app over my home wifi. It doesn't cut out if I use a Redmi Note 8 pro nor a Samsung A5 in the same circumstances.
I don't know if it related but sometime I receive a warning notification tha I've been wearing my earphones too long. I didn't receive this warning before the Miui 13 upgrade.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to resolve the problem with the audio on my Poco F3 ?
