Widevine Security Level after unlocking bootloader/root

UPDATE 2020-11-12: With the latest 11.0.3.4 update, Widevine stays at L1 even if you unlock the bootloader or root! Hi all, I have seen one comment that someone rooted the 8T and widevine becomes L3 instead of L1, unlike the 8/8 Pro. Can...

forum.xda-developers.com

people did IMO not come to a consistent definitive 'step by step instructions' recipe yet ... But clearly, after getting latest OOS (11.0.6.9.KB05BA in my case), several people (but not all), one by one, reported L3 -> L1 change happening somewhat magically.
Various actions to influence the transition have been suggested like:
- boot (stock) recovery and wipe /cache
(which is, I think, what I did, but, maybe I did not even wipe /cache and only booted recovery and then system)
Now 'DRM Info' showed L1, but to get 'Netflix' also show L1 I needed to
- force stop / delete cache and storage for Netflix
(that worked)
It is not clear where this 'widevine' data is stored (some say in /vendor), and, what determines the system id.
One thing seems clear: the latest OOS upgrade (which I flashed local full ZIP and both slots) seems to trigger the change.

Just tried that again and as expected it didn't work.
OTA'd to 11.0.3.3.IN11BA, unlocked BL, booted up - L3, wiped cache, booted up - still L3.

Until there's a clear way to achieve L1 on unlocked BL I'm not going to bother doing anything.

Thanks, and sorry for your very valuable time.
Not sure which date 11.0.3.3.IN11BA was released, is it for 8T, it rather seems to be 8 or 8 Pro? Numbering wise it looks older compared to 11.0.6.9.KB05BA which was released begin January. Note that previous 8T release (11.0.6.8.KB05BA) did not achieve L1 (and had a terrible media stuttering bug as well)

I said I was willing to do it on 8 Pro. I'm not going to wipe my daily driver.
I can update it to open beta if that makes any difference.
EDIT: open beta is even older, 11.0.3.3 appears to be from january fyi https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygenos-11-0-3-3-for-the-oneplus-8-and-oneplus-8-pro.1374182/

@LuK1337, I am so sorry ... I had not read that detail correctly. I am planning to custom flash 8T (maybe PE maybe LOS) and will keep you informed.

@LuK1337
Im tired up with quality of oos developing and im considering jump to los..

May i ask again maybe same questions, lazy to use searching..

Is it stable enough to as daily driver?
Does it pass safetynet with props magisk module?

Does "unofficial" release means more bugs?

really awesome that theres proper alternatives available, THANKS

I am stuck at command 2.

fastboot boot recovery.img
error: cannot load 'recovery.img': No such file or directory

Should I flash over the recovery.img from the LOS zip and try again?

hmmm, Is this booting from the recovery.img fiile on the phone or from inside the unpacked Los file on the computer?

anarchotaoist · Jun 2, 2018 68 8 18

Ugh! I think I am in a bootloop!

I ran the boot to recovery.img from with the unpacked los zip file and proceeded according to instructions.
All seem to go well, but pressing start only brings me back to fastboot.

What you are going through sounds a lot like what happened to me. My fastboot was outdated, and not flashing everything. See this post, and compare it to your flashed list.

I went back to stock just to be safe, updated fastboot / adb, reflashed and it worked first try. I've started a installing LOS Guide here.

I'm using it as a daily driver, no issues here. Rooted using Magisk, passes safety net with the props module using the 8T fingerprint. So far I've been charging my phone generally every other day getting 10-12 hours of SOT (depending on what I do).

Thanks.

slots are explained by AOSP Google seamless update doc
if you are on slot a, boot fastboot and do
fastboot --set-active=b
fastboot reboot
and vice versa if you are on slot b
but, I can say, I have been through very same cycles already and more
In fact I did:
- MSM recover
- update flash 11.0.6.9.KB05BA EU both slots
(using OxygenOS updater for 2nd slot)
(fwiw this gave widevine L1)
- use new method to flash LOS 18.1
flash success but boot fail (back to fastboot)
- use old method to flash LOS 18.1
(gives error for flash system)

I am ready for another MSM recover (since even other slot won't boot)

Anyway, not big deal, I have backups and can eventually restore OOS 11.0.6.9.KB05BA EU data

keep you informed

something might be wrong with my fastboot version ?

Code:

# fastboot --version
fastboot version 9.0.0_r3
Installed as /usr/bin/fastboot

Hey, yeah I am running Kubuntu 20.10. Repo version is 1.8.1.0 +r23-8.
I have downloaded the latest adb tools -but cannot figure out how to install them system wide! ugh!

I added export PATH=${PATH}:/home/anarcho/bin/android/platform-tools/adb export PATH=${PATH}:/home/anarcho/bin/android/platform-tools/fastboot to /home/myname/.bashrc but the command remains unrecognised! What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Do export PATH=${PATH}:/home/anarcho/bin/android/platform-tools/
Its looking for a directory not file. So when you use the adb or fastboot commands it'll search the directories specified in your path and find the in the platform-tools folder

I'm running Linux. That version of Fastboot is your problem. My Install guide I linked to has instructions on how to update it.

wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
unzip \platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
sudo cp platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/adb
sudo cp platform-tools/fastboot /usr/bin/fastboot
