The OnePlus 7 will be my first OnePlus device, not going for the Pro as it isn't worth the extra money IMO.
Anyway
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/oneplus-6-rooting-disadvantages-t3797477
Having read the above thread...
I assume the Widevine L1 to L3 "problem" also applies to the OnePlus 7 (Pro).
But I can live with that since I really want adblock on my phone.
All my previous phones have been HTC devices, where - if you had installed a custom rom - could still update the phones firmware by flashing a zip via fastboot/hboot. These zip files only contained the firmware, recovery, bootloader,... but didn't touch the system partition, so you could keep using your custom rom afterwards without any issues.
Since I know that the stock OS on OnePlus devices is very good, I am not sure if I will be installing a custom rom anytime soon.
However I would still like to know if the same is possible on these devices?
Judging on what has been possible on previous OnePlus phones, yes, you should be able to flash firmware only separately when using a custom rom.
You know you''re in the wrong forum? You want to be here.
Has the loss of widevine been confirmed in 7 Pro? I've asked before and didn't get a response. I have a Pixel 3XL rooted and can play Netflix hdr perfectly.

It is confirmed. as in OP6T, at least in my device: 9.5.4 GM1913.
Additionally I would want to raise that, possibly, digital wellbeing was disabled as well while on unlocked OP7P.
Could someone confirm it with Locked Bootloader?
Thanks
Yes, I can confirm that digital well being is disabled after unlocking the boot loader while it was working when I still had it locked.

I just updated my phone to the .128 (636) firmware and the improvement in the camera app is so huge compared to previous version. I was on .107(636). AI now detects the scene more consistently and apply the HDR extremely well. In my opinion the dynamic range is on par with pixel 2 or even slightly better with this version. I can shoot handheld night scene at shutter speed 1/24 without using the night mode which is usually at 4 seconds shutter speed (harder to handhold). The only way to get this firmware right now is via funky huawei though

If you unlock your bootloader and install TWRP it breaks Google Pay, right? (might consider this method if it doesn't).

It doesn't break google play... Depending where you are it voids your warranty.
Well you'll have to hurry if you decide to do it... Since they'll stop providing unlock codes soon. Just go to the uk support chat and ask for a bootloader unlock code, you should get it on you email in 2 days if they agree if not jjst go onto chat again and say you didn't recieve it... They should be able to provide it to you.

Lucky you, when I got mine it the site was down.
But I would really recommend doing it if you know yourself to be careful with your phone. The updated firmware is worth it...since it can be quite some times till huawei might push the update to your device/country/region. etc. so that's the only way to actually keeping up to date without having to wait a lot..
Yes chinese mate 20 X can be unlocked 100% sure

Are there other magisk root options than flashing it with twrp?
Cause I will OEM unlock it right away so I must not delete my data later and without magisk I can't pass safety net
Unless there's a wrinkle or 2 that causes a hiccup, is not expect for at least 2-3 weeks from when they get it so 3 weeks or so from now I'd guess.

If you get a copy of the stock kernel, you can patch it then use fast boot to flash.

No alternative way to save the DRM or reinstall it?
If your question is Netflix related, then I have rooted OP7 Pro with Magisk and there's no issue at all.
Unlocking bootloader changes widevine to l3. No way around that. Nothing to do with root.

Actually it has to do with unlocking the bootloader and rooting typically goes hand in hand with bootloader unlocking so it kind of does.

I heard some people unlock the bootloader and use root to debloat and make certain system changes that persist after unrooting. I don't know why they unroot other then google pay as Magisk allows google pay to work.

Once you unlock the bootloader DRM keys are lost happens on every phone afaik, And defaults to L3 have to relock the bootloader to get back to L1.
