Can anyone confirm this?
I know it retains after unlocking the bootloader. I need to know the status after achieving root on eu and aosp based roms .
I'm waiting for the device to be delivered.

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
Hello, here are many peoples they have more ideas as i.
What do you think, i have write to huawei that they give me an bootloader unlock code.
Why?! The Google Problem what Huawei have now.
They cant give all peoples a waranty for security patches for future. I cant use Anti Virus Software why i dont have root. I need root to save my phone.
Huawei have say that they give us a update for Huawei P20 but now nothing.
With Root we can make our Phone safe self.
What do you think. will Huawei give use Bootloader unlock codes back again ?!
I think no.
i had the same idea i bought my phone on last saturday. And now i try to unlock it to install lineage...
by the way, none will buy a huawai if they cannot use facebook, whatsapp e.g. in the future so give out unlock codes will still open the market for some of us.
Huawei is reportedly working on a new OS that supports Android apps/apks, which means it's probably based on Linux. The US ban shouldn't affect existing phones, you will still receive a few security updates, but no major Android version system updates. With root you could flash custom roms that are updated frequently with security patches. So I'll have to agree, as root opens up so many possibilities. Cheers!

I've tried to unlock using DC-unlocker or HCU but my latest versions (C432B180) is not compatible.
Can I downgrade to a previous version (i.e. B160) using androidhost.ru rom (dload method) and after retry to read the bootloader code?
From which version does dc-unlocker work?
thanks in advance
I wanted to root my A70 but haven't, as the TWRP is still buggy, magisk rooting is still a workaround root, etc. looking at A50 threads there are already major developments in rooting and custom kernels. Question is, how bout the A70 ?
I am sorry in advance, I am new to it and there is too much information for me. So, I want to get poco f3, but I can find global version of it. So I am thinking of installing miui.eu as far as I understand it works better. So my problem about safetynet - I need my banking apps and so on. As far as I understand, I need to unlock my bootloader, and by doing so, I automatically won't pass safetynet even if I won't install miui.eu (or any other) at all. Is there is a way, to be able to use miui.eu, banking apps and not to tweak with magisk?
xiaomi.eu pass safetynet out of the box...so, no need to root ur phone to use bank apps.

So unlocking bootloader does not strip you from safetynet? I am kind of confused. Is xiaomi.eu like other roms like lineage os or its kinda official. Sorry for dumb questions
Is there any other popular roms that can pass safetynet without magisk?

Xiaomi.eu is a custom ROM based on official MIUI. If u install this ROM, safetynet pass out of the box.

OK, now it's all coming together, thank you very much!
The only issue I have seen is dealing with their forum support. The place is like 4chan with miserable moderators.

Unlocking your bootloader, installing a custom recovery (mainly TWRP) and flashing MIUI.eu rom will not affect PlayStore and SafetyNet Attestation API.
Rooting your device (or more commonly known as installing Magisk) will cause it. There is a workaround called MagiskHide, but if there's nothing really important you needed to root I would say just flashing the MIUI.eu rom is way more than enough.

Any roms that does not come preinstalled with Magisk should have no issues with SafetyNet API.
And according to XiaoMi.eu website they are collaborating together with the XiaoMi official developers so your warranty is not voided.
Hi guys, please help. I bought China version 9RT and flashed with OOS12 and updated on the phone with Official OOS13 now. It says official version in the Status. I want to know if I can now relock the bootloader to enable google wallet.
Thanks!
If official update installed and no changes to system partitions been made (such as installing magisk), probably you can relock.
Thank you penguinus! BTW, thanks a lot for your instruction on flashing!! I just don't want to turn it to brick.... Can I get a little more advice?
Really looking for more experience from peer. Thanks in advance!
