So I'm trying to use Netflix on my Note 8 and when I search for it on Play Store, the app doesn't show up. Also, when I sideload the apk it won't start
Hi, you need to root using magisk 20.3 and get the safetynet v3 patch and it solves the issue for now

might be because you did something with your device and lost widevine L1 certificate. Your current widevine might be L2 or L3.
Same issue for me
My device has widevine L1 certificate but I can't install Netflix
How to solve this...
I am on India stable 11.0.2.0 rom version...

I just ordered a Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi) from Swappa, I ordered it to watch Google Play, VUDU, and Netflix in HD alongside Crunchyroll, FUNimation, and AnimeLab (those 3 do not use Widevine L1 for HD). This will be my first L1 device I have ever owned and I DO NOT want to get it set to L3.
EDIT: Tablet arrived and I still had ZERO responses here so I went and did it, now it is answered here for others to read.
My questions:
Will unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP affect Widevine L1 status?
Ans: Widevine L1 is still functional after unlock and TWRP install
Will root on stock ROM affect Widevine L1?
Ans: Did not test system-root, went right for Magisk
If root does affect it, is Widevine L1 supported using Magisk systemless root?
Ans: Not sure if system root affects it, but Widevine L1 status is not affected by Magisk (with or without MagiskHide enabled)
Are there any custom ROMs that can use Widevine L1 and is is true that no nouget ROMS can use L1?
Ans: Did not test, But from what I have read CM14 roms can only be L3 at best (as there is no official Nouget rom) and Widevine video playback on CM13 roms is spotty at best with no clarification on if it is HD L1 or SD L3.
If I manage to lose L1 support, can I get it back provided I have backups of all the partitions?
Ans: I hope I do not need to find out
Hi all,
I'm on MiuiPro ROM (Android 4) and I just discovered that apps like Netflix or Molotov need the Widevine DRM. This DRM is marked as "not supported" with the app "DRM info"
Do anyone know if there's a way to install this module/DRM ?
Thanks.
i'm with the latest version of the dotOS for athene (moto g4 plus). when trying to use the version of the app that is in the playstore of netflix it says that my device is not compatible with the app, even though I have always used the same, and sends me to a site to download another version of that same app. the problem is that this other version does not allow me to download series within it. I suspected it was some root problem but magisk shows that safetynet is ok, does anyone know how to solve this problem to use netflix in oreo?
edit: fixed, check the @pv979 post
Download latest Netflix apk from apk mirror website.
Check out to this modded apk. It supports 720P and 1080P for our device:

Look for a possible solution in the dotOS forum for Moto g4 plus. Widevine drm is broken in dotOS build. Netflix seems to rely on widevine drm
I just got my Poco F3 6/128 a few days ago and I was thinking about rooting it, but will I lose the ability to use banking apps, NFC payments, Widevine L1, OTA updates, etc? Running latest MIUI Global 12.5.6.0 Stable.

I don't use banking apps on my Poco F3 but I can tell you right now safety net is passing on EU rom which is basically like stock Chinese rom but with extras. I can also tell you topjohnwu that guy that makes magisk is now working for Google and his latest version is without magisk hide because it's a conflict of interest. So it's not going to stay but at anytime you can wipe your phone, flash stock and even relock bootloader if you want to. So whatever you decide it's not permanent. I personally always want root access so I don't care about safety net I'm still going to root. Also this phone is extremely difficult to flash roms on. I've only done 2 roms but I had to wipe phone and flash stock because the update zip screwed up the phone.
Flashing a stock ROM and locking the bootloader restores everything even if I lose Widevine L1?

If you want to root you should be a risk-taker because there is a 90% chance of losing something in your phone.
I have stock EEA ROM rooted and all my banking apps, GPay, Netflix work fine. The latest update didn't want to update with the smaller delta update. But MIUI offered to download a bigger package (full rom), which installed fine. Had to re-root after the update, but this is normal.
Running on latest xiaomi.eu ROM AND rooted, Widevine L1, NFC and banking app is working (Israel)

Running on latest Xiaomi.EU Stable ROM and rooted with Magisk, can use banking apps and passes SafetyNet.
Automated firmware updates may not be working.
Hello everyone,
I'm in the market for a Xiaomi Pad 5. I can't find a global version of this device online that can ship to the US, so I'm buying the Chinese model. I have a few questions about this device's Netflix capability:
1. In the Chinese ROM with Google Play installed, is it possible to play 1080p Netflix? Better yet, HDR Netflix?
2. Is it possible to play 1080p or HDR Netflix if I flash the Global ROM to the Chinese model?
Thank you.

1. No, it will play in SD. HDR/Dolby Vision are not supported on the CN model with Netflix.
2. No, you will lose L1 Widevine unless you mask this with Magisk.
Why they advertise this tablet that can play Netflix in HD? Such false advertising. No fix or response, just terrible service. I'm stuck with a tablet which crashes on Netflix from L1 to L3.

Any steps on how you got this to work and does Netflix crash?

I have the chinese model with Widevine L1, HD. I'm on global 12.5 after unblocking the bootloader.
Netflix not available in google play, but can download it from apkmirror, then check widevine in netflix. If it's L3, clear data and re-login. You will have L1. Like me...

please stop spreading false information...
Read the original posters comments and you'll see the line "I can't find a global version of this device online that can ship to the US, so I'm buying the Chinese model."
They're NOT on Global, they're on Chinese firmware and they will have the issues above.
