I own 7T Pro and rooting causing to lose L1 was the reason I avoided doing so and then fell off the ROM scene. Willl be getting 11 in a few a days and tried to look up and research but couldn't find a clear specific answer. Is the issue of L1 downgrading to L3 around?. I'll wait to unlock if that's no longer on an issue on the other phones in series. Really don't want to transfer all data and then redo all again cos unlocking wipes everything. I'll just do use the essential apps till we get proper unlocking guides.

IIRC Widevine Level is dependant on bootloader status. So rooting shouldn't have tempered the Widevine level. I know it doesn't exactly answer the question, but if unlocking the bootloader retains L1, then you should be good to go for root.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully L1 status stays the same after root. And am I reading wrong or are you saying one can root without unlocking the bootloader?. Cos that's news to me haha.

I'm sorry, maybe my text was a little bit misleading...
To root your device, you need to unlock the bootloader first in any case, yes. But it is the bootloader unlock procedure that "could" potentially downgrade to L3, rooting afterwards does not change Widevine Level. That's what I was trying to say.

Aah. Gotcha yes. I've even read up how some relocked and got their Widevine back. But it was too random.

It sounds interesting, could you shed more light on this? By "reflashing the firmware and retaining root" did you flash all the firmware files to their respective partitions except for the boot partition as it would have the Magisk patched boot.img? Or you used the "Magisk Install to Inactive Slot after OTA" method?

I don't know the details of it but what i know/remember is that you can just root and then relock the bootloader after which gives you L1 back. I knew about it but wasn't sure if I understood it correctly.

I don't think that would be a recommended approach as it could actually end up bricking the device. Anyways, thanks for your insights.
On the OP8Pro and previous, Pixel 6/7 Pro (nd probably others) you could unlock the bootloader, do a standard root with Magisk, install few modules (UniversalSafetyNet Fix, MagiskHid Props Config) and get a full play store certified device that passes SaefetyNet, Supports. WIdeVine L1, and runs everything (financial apps, etc.).
One the OP10 series, I don't even think Nteflix would even run without a ton of hacking (forget about L1 vs L3).
I left OP for two reasons, one was lack of 2 SIM support, and the other was the impossible rooting sitation with the OP10 Pro.
The 11 solves the dual SIM issue, but it doesn't look like it is easy to root without giving up anything. Hopefully someone proves me wrong.
Having said, I am a pretty happy Pixel 7 Pro user now...

Running banking apps (like Sparkasse pushtan) just fine with root. According to DRM info app, Widevine is on L1, and Netflix is working (at least it loads the main page as opposed to OP10P). I personally do not miss out on anything, even contactless payment is working with third party apps.

So you are saying this is all true after doing a magisk root on a OP 11. Was it a USA version? In any case that is encouraging news indeed.
If I recall, I think the entire issue on the OP 10 Pro was bcause they had moved one of the DRM crypto shared library files to a non standard dir that magisk couldn't patch (or something like that).
Can you check if you device is play store certified -- that + safety net and L1 would confirm that everything should work fine after root.

Hey guys,
when I got the P3XL I unlocked the bootloadeer immediately. Widevine level was still on L1 even though I've installed a custom rom. Then I had to try something, flashed another rom and also flashed the latest factory image and it was changed to L3.
Now even after flashing the factory image and completely locked the bootloader, it still says L3...So in amazon prime and netflix only HDR/UHD works... but not HD for shows and movies which are not netflix/amazon originals.
Did someone had the same issue? If yes is there a fix to it or maybe Google is aware of it already? Some people reported that after a while their Widevine level changed to L3 with custom rom/custom kernel, but it should be back to L1 with completely locked bootloader and full stock rom. It does that way for all other phones (htc U12+, essential PH-1 and many many others)
Is there something in the Pixel which is similar to Samsung's Knox? ... I'm just so disappointed and angry...
I also catched a log, where it says cannot open file /vendor/firmware_mnt/imagine/widevine.mdt. this file is missing in that folder and the Essential PH-1 even with unlocked bootloader, rooted/custom rom has it still there and the phone is also in L1... so google did something, what deleted that file....

No there is no security measure which trips Pixel 3 as far i am aware of nor is mine tripped.
flashed a lot of custom roms flashed march & april factory images with -w and without -w and i am on custom rom now, bootloader still unlocked, rooted, custom kernel and it's still widevine security is L1.
While doing a search I see that you already posted the issue with Google support lets see if they can say else that unlocking bootloader is the reason.

Yes that is the strange thing, L1 worked fine when I was on aquarios first.
Then tried DU and had to reflash factory image and L1 wasn't working anymore.
I was told by google supported to also issue that to widevine, sent them some logs too. Let's see who can help.
There must be something wrong, because @Freak07 also tried the widevine.mdt file from another pixel 3, but it didn't worked either. The same error 13 was there.
I gonna try the full ota image tomorrow or so. Gonna see if that might help with a locked bootloader. I hope it can be sorted, because it's stupid if a phone like the pixel has such issues
Can you also please check in logcat what it shows for you when you search for widevine and drm?
Also is that file I mentioned above also available in that specific folder? And other widevine files in that folder?

For the logcat I mean when you use an app like matlog, you can directly use the search function to search for specific words, in that case widevine and drm. Can you attach the screenshot/logs of both ?
Also very strange that there is no such file in the imagine folder and yet L1 works fine for you....
Did you try different ROMs, or only bootleggers? Was it always on L1?
Actually I haven't flashed vendor.img manually, I let the flash script do the job. Do you think this might be the issue?
Also I don't remember if I flashed the April vendor from DU homepage ....

* It probably won't work and even if it does...
* you probably won't have DTS Surround Sound nor LG camera fixes which both came with later Oreo.
It's up to you, your phone.
If you do really want a root access without losing warranty or bootloader unlock counter goes up. There are plenty virtualization apps which emulates root access, or even xposed system without altering your actual system. I saw on YouTube, someone using that to cheat pubg mobile. You can find that by these keywords: "pubgm cheat no root" or "pubgm cheat virtual"

With REAL root available for ALL V30 variants since mid-2018, I confess I don't really understand why this thread was even started in October 2019 (over a year later) -- or the discussion is still ongoing now almost 2020...
Before mid-2018 only those V30 variants (H930, H930G, secretly Open Market US998 -- but only the 64GB variant) approved by LG could have bootloader unlock code and thus root, but thanks to people here on XDA, ALL V30 can have root. We don't need some "fake" gimmick like this. Maybe for other phones something like this is OK, but all V30 variants can actually be bootloader unlocked and rooted.

Hello,
First, thanks a lot for the work you made around XZ2 Compact, I come from french forum, and many tutorials quote you.
I wanted to know if there is still a problem to unlock bootloader of the Xperia XZ2 Compact (like losting DRM files and not being able to use camera anymore).
My current build is 52.0.A.11.3, and I would like to unlock bootloader from the developer sony website directly then root my device (I definitely can't imagine using Android without root haha)

Oh thank you
Yeah, unlocking on the newest stock doesn't harm the camera. It changed since PIE. (Maybe change again with Q [to an even better result]).
So don't worry about your camera on unlocking.
If you use a SODP based custom rom the stock DRM is not used for the features. (But the camera there is work in progress and get heavy work over the next months).

But I guess as you didn't say anything about the procedure, I can go for it then

Someone can help me pls?
You won't be able to get around the CTS false flag now without completely removing Magisk. The requirements have changed recently.

Use the uninstall feature in the Magisk manager app and reboot. If it still fails the safety net pass, I think you need to lock your bootloader which is dicey. Might want to wait for someone else to confirm the steps as it's unique to your ROM version and may cause a hard brick, but typically flashing an unmodified MiFlash tool ROM and then locking the bootloader after should do it.

You can get around it by using the "MagiskHide Props Config" module and using it to change your devices fingerprint. At least on Android 10(Pixel Experience, CFW, Used Pixel 4 XL fingerprint)

Same here, that's why I thought locking was the only way. There was a thread about this somewhere, didn't think magisk hide worked anymore.
I'll try what @Sapphiress mentioned, thanks!
Edit: no dice, didn't work with the GSI option for finger print. Any suggestions on which fingerprint to use for Android 10 GSI Quack?

My bootloader is unlocked and I read elsewhere that that can cause the CTS flag to fail. I tried simulating a K20 fingerprint and all it did was disable my sim, lol.

yhea i followed the "Didgeridoohan" tutorial but didnt worked for me

Must only work on CFW then.
My bootloader is also unlocked.
My exact load out is:
CFW Pixel experience
CFW TWRP
CFW Zentisu kernel
I used the emulate device option in the props script and set it to Pixel 4 XL.
I can confirm that Netflix and Google Play works. At least on global with My setup.

Yes, I have a Redmi Note 8 Pro(Global)
Android 10 CFW (Pixel Experience)
CTS Profile and basicSec are True, I've already stated that GooglePay and Netflix both work.
No, I haven't, as I don't see a reason too. If it's to hide it from other people then this can be accomplished with a 3rd party launcher, otherwise I don't see the point.
All of these questions have been answered in my previous posts aside from renaming magisk.
Everything you need to know about CFW and flashing custom ROMS is available in the Redmi Note 8 Pro megatread I advise reading it in its entirety and reading the entire comment chain(i know it's a lot buts it's important) before attempting anything, and everything else I'm using is in the Development ROMS, KERNELS, Etc. Section.
I can't really comment links right now as I'm in using the labs app.

Nope, any Samsung phone that's sold in the US aka having the letter U or DL "not too sure about ones with U1" cannot be rooted due to having a locked down bootloader and no OEM unlock option, it's been like this ever since the S6 back in 2015. an exploit for the SM-A236U and the SM-S236DL would need to be found to even get close to rooting.
this method works. BUT......
i can root my phone. magisk works fine, but apparently I don't have write permissions on /system
it is unusable because android is annoying me with "service provider update.... the phone needs to be restarted." you can't click away either. over and over again.
SM-A236B
So i unlocked the bootloader and flashed with odin magisk patched boot.img and everything is working fine. Except SELinux, which is in permissive mode now. Jeez.
