Widewine L1 or L3?

[Shredz98]

Hi,

So a bit of a noob question, but I was on beta OOS11 prior to going over to Open Beta and my Widewine support is L3 and not L1. I thought this was a result of unlocking the bootloader but was told this should not be the case. Any chance I can fix this as the Oneplus 8 Pro should have L1?!

Thanks in advance.

According to some users SafetyNet must pass to get L1. On stock OB1 I believe it still fails. I've never checked L status when my safetynet failed, but I pass and have L1.
If you havent unlocked your BL, do it, flash magisk, install magiskhide props config (to make it pass) and you SHOULD get L1 again.

My bootloader is unlocked, I'm rooted, magisk and magiskhidr props config is installed and safety net passes but still I'm on L3

Did you try clearing data/cache for Netflix (or whatever app you're using)? Does DRM Info (app) also show L3? Then I'm out of ideas.. Always worked for me on all versions since OOS 10.5.10. I'm on EU model IN2023

Yeah that's the the thing the DRM info (app) shows L3 as does Netflix, tried clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, everything but lock my bootloader again.

Thanks for your help in any case

One more thing, is your play store certified? Shouldn't make a difference, but worth a try.
If not certified, clear data för Play store and Play services and it should be after self-updating.

Play store is certified. I wonder whether it is because I bought the 8 pro and it immediately updated to 10.5.12EU i believe it was but then I unlocked bootloader and went to OOS 11 DP3 though I didn't root nor check my Widewine status then, then updated to DP4 and then to OB1. It was only on OB1 that I rooted my phone and installed Magisk and only then that I checked Widewine status.

So I'm thinking I'm one of the unlucky ones who lost their L1 status via official update from OnePlus.

I was L3 until update 10.5.10 (or maybe 10.5.9). After that L1 all the way. I even clean installed DP4, updated to unrooted OB1, rooted, and still L1.

I would suggest that you MSMDtool back to an earlier OOS, unlock and root (and fix fingerprint issue that relocking BL causes), and then check L1 status. If it's L1 you should be good to update to OB1 again and root. I know I was L3 before that one update från OP so it's definetly reversable.

Had a feeling you would say this and honestly the only reason I didn't MSMDtool back to an earlier OS is because of the whole fingerprint issue and scared of not being able to fix it.

I'll see what I can do, thanks mate!

The fingerprint issues is easy to fix, I've done it a couple of times myself.. The instructions are good so just do what it says.

Does the fingerprint issue always happen when relocking the bootloader or just sometimes? Anything I can do to avoid it?

Not sure about that.. I've run the msmdtool twice, had to fix the reader both times.

Ugh, I'll now need to figure out whether L1 is worth it ?
