Widevine L1 coming in Q4, first to be enabled in MiUI beta

[josinpaul]

It seems that Xiaomi is planning to soon release an update which will bring the widevine L1 support to POCO F1. The update is expected to be rolled out to MIUI Beta ROM users first by Q4, 2018, i.e. by the end of this month.

The company had recently released an update to fix the notification icon issue on the status bar. It is also developing 4K 60fps support for the rear camera. Additionally, users of POCO launcher will also have an option to customise desktop grid size and icon size in the future.

They hope to release the fix in Q4, it means they can do it via an ota update. So the secure key is already present in our system unless they could not have said so. That's a positive thing.

The key is probably not present in the device, because according to their statements, they don't even know about Widevine and since the phone is available in China, and most Chinese manufacturer don't care about VoD services, so forget about OTA. If it would be the case above, then it would've been solved already.

They are just stalling it, just like they stalled the multitouch issue.

this is the statement made in their official miui forum. if they dont want to fix it they could have kept mum. You can see their approach with multi touch issue, they are not even admitting such an issue exists. Lets wait and see.:angel:

So, WideVine L1 cert can be enabled using a software patch? Got this from OnePlus forum "Xperia XZ2 already ships from factory with the required device-unique secret key in the TrustZone for Widevine L1 support, and their stock firmware plays HD content just fine. It was only the Android P Developer Preview builds that hadn't L1 support enabled on software-side before Beta 3 build. OnePlus 5T on the other hand ships without the required secret key in the TrustZone, and that's something that can't be "fixed" with an OTA update, that's why you have to send your phone to them if you want L1 support." So, is that true that's Pocophone F1 has already got secret key in their TrustZone? Or they're finding a way to send them via an OTA software update?

I think that the trustzone can be reflashed if the efuse hasn't triggered to prevent re-flashing of that partition.
