Lately, i was trying to install Netflix on my Galaxy S6 running NexusOS, but i had to notice that Netflix refused to start while giving me 50*.-1006 errors. I checked the lib files if widevine libs are in place and they were, yet DRM Info puts out that my device lacks any sort of Widevine DRM.
What is weird since my former devices running custom ROMs had no problems with Widevine and Netflix.
Are you using magisk? No problem here for basic Netflix. The movie companies don't want rooted and custom devices to have access because their afraid of it being ripped off the stream.
It's not an issue with Magisk for what i know. My Galaxy S4 Active and Nexus 10 had no issues with running Netflix with Magisk.
Lineage OS 14.1 (Nougat 7.1) does not have the problem, what is good, now i'm testing with an official version of RR 6 (Oreo 8.1) and check if i can access DRM apps.

I recently bought a Lenovo Yoga Pad 3 Plus and installed Lineage 14.1 with TWRP. I've rooted the tablet with Magisk systemless, and it passes safetynet and has L1 certification for widevine. Despite that, Netflix and Amazon Video still won't play in HD. Is there something I'm missing, or will those apps simply not work in HD on Lineage? My bootloader is unlocked, if that makes a difference. Any help is appreciated.

even if the device supports widevine L1, the bootloader has to be locked. You might have to restore to stock and relock the bootloader. Read page 12 of https://storage.googleapis.com/wvdocs/Widevine_DRM_Getting_Started_Devices.pdf
guys, here netflix is showing L3 widevine and with that it supports maximum SD. The device shows L1 in DRM INFO. someone else experiencing the same problem?
Im using last Android 10 January security patch. Bootloader Locked, No Root... ALL STOCK.
That's how it is. Netflix doesn't only require L1, but it also only let's the devices they whitelist to stream HD. Your device is L1 and netflix app is lying about it.
Everything works perfect in the Disney+ app. You'll get beautiful HD and it's clearly using the DRM.

So, good news. I recently installed the a11 update and netflix is now working in HD.
(I updated with the "Rescue and Smart Assistant" tool from lenovo for motorola phones, it offered the 11 update as a rescue image. It wipes the phone but atleast i got it in europe before the schedule)
- it was strange thought that play store didn't want to install netflix or disney+, i had to sideload them from apkmirror.
After new year or 11.0.5.1 update, widevine certificate went from L1 to L3. I never unlocked, rooted or modded my phone. Model is Oneplus 7 Pro GM1910 256gb. What is your widevine level?
Same for me, although I am not sure of the timing. Ever find a fix?
Try flashing latest OOS 11 image from MSM tool. Internet says it fixes the L3 issue.
Note:
1) Flashing ROM from MSM tool will wipe data so backup first.
2) The image necessarily needs to be Oxygen OS 11. Version 10 won't fix anything.
I have this issue as well. But I am living with it as I don't use Netflix stuffs. Let the community know if it fixes
Hello
I didn't use my tablet for 2 years but I launch it yesterday and reset it beause it was very low.
I'm on the last official firmware XEF, android 5.0.1 or 2
When I see on application mycanal (a TV OTT service in France) and the app DRM INFO, I have widevine L1.
But Netflix is in SD and say me I have widevine L3.
Prime Video is also in SD and Disney+ have an error 83 (I see that it only works on L1 device, so it considers me on L3 too).
Well ... I'm a little lost. What can I do ?
Do you (owners of the same tablet) have the same problem with widevine on official firmware ?
Is it possible to solve the issue without flashing a custom rom ?
If not, what custom rom can I choose ?
Thanks a lot.
I have an International KB2005 OnePlus 8T. I had it working great on official Evolution X, F15 firmware copied to both slots, rooted with Magisk Delta 6, passing SafetyNet, banking apps, streaming apps EXCEPT for Netflix. I turned on Netflix spoof in The Evolver settings but this only let it install, when I launched it it would just hang forever.
I checked my Widevine info with DRM info. At the time I had L1 but an invalid System ID (very long digit, way longer than 5 numbers but I don't remember.) I'm pretty sure that was the issue based on some conversations I had.
Ok so I want to fix my widevine giving it L1 with a valid system ID. So I do the "nuclear" option and msmtool back to OOS 11.0.7.9. msmtool completes successfully, bootloader is locked but now widevine is L3 with System ID 8159.
I don't have any original backup files from the phone, I also didn't try the older msmtool to the earlier OOS release. What is the correct way to not only get L1 widevine with a valid system ID on OOS, but what's the correct procedure to unlock bootloader, install a ROM and still retain L1?
TL;DR: how to get L1 widevine with valid system id on KB2005?
I was on the same page as you. I tried searching everywhere and didn't find about it anywhere. There isn't any way to fix the system id as of now. However there is a workaround to get netflix working, if thats what you are trying to do.
Step 1: MSMtool back to oos 11.0
Step 2: Unlock bootloader. (it changes the system id to 4 digit number which is L1 secrity)
Step 3: Install netflix and other apps that dont work with broken system ID. Log in your account.
Step 4: Update your rom.
System ID breaks but your apps works fine.

So when going from OOS 11.0 to a custom ROM, are you suggesting to dirty flash and not wipe data (I always thought this was a terrible idea)? Or still do a clean flash of the ROM then re-install those apps and it will work?
It is a terrible for some ROM

I had tried restoring with titanium backup but the results were same, they dont work. So yeah dirty flash is a terrible idea for some rom while some ROM allow dirty flashing. I have only tested on updating ROM from OOS 11 to OOS 13 and its working.

I've never ever ever seen a ROM that doesn't require a wipe when going from stock to the ROM. However once you're on the ROM, you can usually dirty flash updates unless the maintainer specifically says a new build requires a clean flash. Maybe this would work if there was a modified ROM based on OOS.
I appreciate your responses, but OOS 13 is the worst version of Android I've ever tried. I guess my dream of getting the 8T working with an A13 AOSP/LOS based ROM is still dead (with the valid L1 cert, otherwise it works fine).
I'm sticking with Pixels from now on. On every Pixel I've ever messed with (3a XL, 5a 5G RIP mobo, 6a, 7 Pro) I've been able to do anything- unlock the bootloader, try any custom ROM and/or kernel, use a custom recovery, have safetynet passing or failing and the valid L1 widevine cert just persists. Seems like a silly reason to dump OnePlus, but I need that valid L1 cert and I'm not willing to stay on the good, outdated OOS 11 or use the terrible, new OOS 13.
