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

#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, 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.

Recently, I decided to update my rooted tab to the newest firmware, through an application on my Windows PC. After updating, I noticed that Netflix now refuses to work despite the fact I had it working on my previously rooted device. Is there any way to be able to actually get it up and running again?
Have you tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it?

I just tried that, and as I expected, still met with the same message.
On a rooted device I had before this one, I couldn't get Netflix to work. I went to their site and even made a phone call to find out there is an apk file for rooted devices buried on their site. Seems like I may have had to try a few of them to get one to work. This was probably 3-4 years ago.
Oh, and I had to explain to the guy what "rooted" means and why I wanted to do that!
Netflix is broke. Nobody has fixed it.
Hi,
Netflix has confirmed to Android Police that since version 5.0, released mid-May, the application relies entirely on Google's Widevine DRM. But it only works if Android is intact.
In practice, the availability of the application depends on the eligibility of your smartphone to SafetyNet, and therefore to Android Pay. So an unlocked smartphone no longer has access to Netflix on the Play Store, even if it meets the requirements of Widevin DRM
But no matter: the application itself always works on smartphones rooted and unlocked, at least for the moment.
If it is already installed, you can continue to enjoy it without doing anything. If it is not, simply install it manually, after downloading the APK from APKMirror

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.

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).

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
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.

so i will definitely not loose widevine l1 with unlocking bootloader and root?

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)
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.

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.

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).
