I was wondering if it was possible to incorporate L1 Security patch which is needed by apps like Netflix or Amazon Prime to stream HD videos. Are there any available Xposed module or flashable zips perhaps.
This thing is not possible as it is incorporated in the motherboard itself.
Its so intense that if u try to flash another vendor on l1 enabled device (eg mi 9t pro vendor on k20 pro ) u will loose l1 forever and have to remain on 480p

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
I want to flash xiaomi eu ROM to this device, but I'm afraid it'll break the DRM certification from L1 to L3 forever, like on Zenfone Max Pro M1 that I had. Will it stay on L1 or we'll be downgraded forever to L3? Thank you.
You won't have L1 in Xiaomi.eu until Google and Xiaomi add it to the China version, or the EU team fixes it, but nothing will be lost forever. Reflashing the official ROM (global) will restore Widevine L1, as DRM keys are stored on a separate partition or chip, not inside / (which contains all system files, and is changed on flash).

I see. All right, thank you very much!
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 am using Realme X3 (indian varient), I registered under the UI 2.0 beta programe and during all time I have never unlocked my bootloader or try to root my phone. Suddenly my widevine was downgraded from L1 to L3 so I thaught it might me just a software problem and then my downgraded my software from UI 2.0 beta to my UI 1.0 stable version from their official website( without rooting or unlocking bootloader or installing twrp) but still my Widevine is L3, then within few days realme released stable version of UI 2.0 and even after the update the widevine is L3. While I was researching a fix for this, I found that Oppo provides an apk for such issue. Is there an app that might fix my issue on my device. Can any one tell me how to get my widevine L1 back?
I too have the same problem with my Realme X3 superzoom
Same here, i have updated mobile through official OTA
any response? From realme
I am still trying to get a fix, you all can try the app from this solution that I found on YouTube.
After the Oxygen OS Update from 10 to 11,my widevine rating went from L1 to L3. Because of that I'm not able to play HD content on Netflix. I can only play in SD quality. Any idea to fix it
If I recall correctly, may be due to bootloader unlock or you need a hide magisk module?
Still slowly learning phone but I remember coming across this switching to international.
Just got my widevine back to L1 from L3 with the latest update today for the OnePlus 7T with bootloader unlocked and root
Finally, about time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree totally. Custom kernel like Dora or galtgulch really speed up latest stock oos11
