Does unlocking my bootloader and flashing a custom rom change my widevine level?
Yes. You'll drop to Widevine L3 and if you root you'll lose access to Netflix though that's just because Netflix doesn't play well with root at all and you'll need a modded apk
Hey there,
I get next week my OP9 Pro.
Is it right, that I lose Widevine L1 after I the unlock bootloader or are there any new tricks?
If not then I must dispense of root...
Thanks for your help.
Mine stays on L1 with unlocked bootloader and latest magisk.

That sounds good. I will try it next week. Which model do you have EU, Global or Indian?
Just wanted to ask the same question... Thanks @Marcelm2000 and @FlipmodeBG !!!
Can someone confirm this with an EU device?

Mine 9 Pro - newest EU Soft, magisk stable, and L1 level here
Just unlocked my bootloader yesterday and after unlocking gave me Widevine L3. After rooting with magisk stable and magiskhide it gave me L1
Anyone have L1 on Global? I'm rooted with Magisk canary, passing safetynet, but still at L3.

What command did you use to unlock the bootloader?
Did you use Magiskhide?

I used fastboot oem unlock, if I recall correctly. And I have MagiskHide enable in Magisk.
I had done the same the first time with that command and mine also was L3.
What I did and fixed it (for me) was relocking the bootloader and unlock it with "fastboot flashing unlock", then installed magisk stable and used MagiskHide, then it was L1. Hope this fix it for you.

Does this require wiping data like usual when re-locking and then unlocking bootloader again?

Disregard my last message. I asked because Netflix said L3, but I downloaded the DRM Info app and it shows L1. I cleared cache and data for Netflix and then logged back in and now it shows L1 there too.
Here's the thread that helped me figure that out:

Thanks for your reply, it could help some other users. But after my first unlock DRM info said Widevine was L3. But second attempt was successful
Other than looking at your streaming rate, is there a way to tell which level of widevine you have?

I don't even know how to view my streaming rate. Everyone uses the DRM Info app on the play store. It will tell you.

Okay, I redid everything, using fastboot flashing unlock this time, and I'm getting L1.
interesting, I am on global 11.2.2.2 (rooted/magisk stable/lsposed) running magisk hide and getting L1 widevide. I used 'fastboot oem unlock' but I do not use netflix so it doesn't matter too much for me, but good to know.

Hi. All I know is once I MSN Tool from 11 to 10 I got L1 back because I don't realize that the tool relocked my bootloader.... Then from 10 to 11 update and still L1 (bootloader locked)
Soon as I unlock my bootloader on 11 right back to L1. And I'm super crazy about this issue. Anyway, best I can say is I can't seem to have both unlocked bootloader and L1... So it's one or the other. Nothing I've read our tried has worked and it's like a waste of time trying. But, do what you gotta do cause I failed and you may not. Good luck. Thanks
Earlier my 9pro was rooted and bootloader was unlocked with DRM L1 status but after uninstalling magisk and blocking the bootloader my phone is truck on DRM L3.

I'm on stock A12 TMO LE2127 rooted using magisk and unlocked bootloader. An app I use will not run under this state unless I add it to the magisk deny list. I am widevine L1.

Well this app was working but I had accidently uninstalled magisk and it detected unlocked boot loader and banned me for 2 days , it really costs a lot lol and my exams are coming so to be on a safe side and to prep using my phone (which I was avoiding ) I have locked the boot loader now . Using msm tool to go to a11 gives drm L1 , I have a question should I factory reset after going from a11->a13 and also will it keep L1 after reset ?

If using stock roms all the way to A13, which is the best way to go, you should be ok. You should be at L1 then.
Wildvine level is a complete crap shoot when you unlock the bootloader. Other threads are out there where many of us followed the exact same steps and some had L3 and some L1. I have yet to retain L1 once I unlocked the BL and rooted. Usually relocking it will put you back on L1. Some have reported having to relock it and reset the device. YMMV.
Had L1 after msm a11 , but it has now changed to L3 on C.66 . Any solution guys ?

You might try a factory reset. I know others going through updates and such said factory resetting helped solve the problem...

Is it possbile to have L1 when we unlock the bootloader and root it using magisk delta by HuskyDG?
I have seen some people with OP 9/9 Pro saying that they kept L1 after unlocking and rooting but how to do it with OP 11?
I've tried unlocking but as soon as i do i lose L1 had to relock to get L1 back. Now some people also mentioned that if you do it twice like first time unlock bootloder, root etc. then unrooting and relocking bootloader to try again unlokcing and rooting to get L1. I haven't tried unlocking it again cause it just takes so much time installing all the apps back again.
Op11 with unlocked bl have l3 is not like op9p with unlocked bl and l1

But it should be same as Op 9 Pro minus the upgraded cpu and camera chips structure is still the same. Heck both devices have A13+ support so how come?
