Netflix on unlocked bootloader - Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers

Good night, since I unlocked the note 10 bootloader, still without twrp and root that Netflix stopped working, nor appears in the playstore.
What functional version can I install, or how to work around this problem?

Just download netflix from netflix.com

Show the message "not supported device"

Download an older version of the apk. I have 4.16.1 and it works fine!

Done

No compatible Netflix app for my HTC 11 unlocked.

Strange that the Crakle app works.
I jsut installed the app from titanium backup I had on SD card, then it updated by itself....
its available from the Google Play, did you install it and try?
Go to Google Play > Settings > scroll to bottom and make sure Device Certification says Certified.
Unlocking the bootloader and/or rooting the device will change this, and you won't be able to download Netflix from the store.
If it's Uncertified, you can try to clear cache/data of Play Store and reboot.
Must not be compatible with our yet, because in just a few short hours it is no longer available. Also being uncertified is not the case, as I could have downloaded earlier today.

Google play has none that are compatible, I purchased mine from Amazon so it should be HTC USA unlocked model. But I can't verify that yet.
Yep I just checked again and Netflix isn't compatible with HTC U 11 and also the HTC 10,sounds like a Nougat issue.

You don't have to keep trying, it is not compatible with our device yet. If Google Play removed it, most likely won't work even if you got it from Amazon. Like I said must be a Nougat issue as NetFlix isn't compatible with the HTC 10 either.

Netflix changed it with version 5 release.
I never had the issue with any rooted and bootloader unlocked phone, then one week I tried to download it after a usual factory reset and ran into the issue.
Last I checked, Netflix still worked when I sideloaded it.

Unfortunately it does now. An unlocked bootloader is why you can't install Netflix from play store. Google updated somethings in play store and app developers can now block installs to devices with unlocked bootloader. Netflix is one of those apps that have utilized that option. I found this issue in my 10. However on my 10, with magisk installed and utilizing magisk hide I was able to get around it and install Netflix if I wanted

No worries Im sure it will be fixed soon, multiple issues across multiple devices running Nougat.

What's up everyone. Just got a Samsung gear S3 watch but am having a hard time installing the Samsung apps I need too since my phone is rooted.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction??

Gotcha. I thought I did cause I can watch Netflix which won't run unless you hide root.
I tried like 4 versions off of the apk site and none installed.

Netflix gone?

Can't download Netflix for Pixel 3
In Google store says not available for my phone!
Anyone else?
Any links to most recent APK that I won't destroy my device with?
If your device is showing as not certified in play store settings, Netflix doesn't show for new installs. Hide the Play Store with Magisk, and then clear the Play store cache and data and open it back up. You should then show certified, and Netflix will be available. There is also a version for sideloading on the Netflix website.

My device has shown not certified for awhile. It never seemed to be an issue as I never had any problem with apps. But now I'm good [emoji4]

Play Store doesn't say anything about certification in the settings, but Netflix is missing so I assume I'm not certified. I tried following your instructions with Magisk Hide, but Netflix is still not showing. (If I try to search it from Google to get to the Play Store entry, it says my device is not compatible with this version.) I also tried sideloading the version from their website. It installs fine, but when I launch it, it says the device is not supported. I also tried using Magisk Hide on Netflix to no avail. Additionally, Magisk says my device passes both SafetyNet checks. Any other ideas?

Not showing anything about certified means that it is not certified. Are you on a Pixel 3? Could be a handful of things causing it. Are you able to clear cache and data in Play Store? If not, you won't be able to get certified. That happens a lot if you have a Magisk Module that greys out that option like Edge Sensor. My sugestion is to flash boot.img to both slots and then clear cache/data in Play Store and get certification back before re-rooting. Once Netflix is installed, it doesn't matter if you are rooted. Keep Play Store hidden though.

Flashed the vanilla boot.img then cleared cache/data for Play store and I'm still not certified. Any other suggestions?

Did it show anything about certification in Play Store Settings (at the very bottom)? It does sometimes take a couple of times entering Play Store and possibly rebooting to show as certified. There really is nothing else other than clearing cache/data in Play Store and being on a device that can show as certified (which clearly the Pixel 3 is). Normally, once you clear cache/data even rooting won't stop the certification (if you hide Play Store with Magisk Hide before opening it again) it just takes some little bit of time that I have not ever been able to completely narrow down to an exact action. I have to do this pretty much every month after loading the monthly update and it always works (Netflix does not need reinstalled or anything after the first time as long as the device is certified if an update shows up).

Two other thoughts. Are you passing SafetyNet? If not, that may point to the root cause. The other one just occurred to me, but are you running a custom kernel? If not, your unlocked bootloader is being exposed and may very well be keeping Netflix from showing up. If that is the case, you definitely want to look into one of the custom kernels here. I use ElementalX, and it is the closest to stock with minor adjustments and of course it hides the unlocked BL.

I just looked at the Netflix support page with instructions for side loading the app. It claims it is only compatible up to Android 7.1.2, so clearly the one on their site will not work anymore. They even say to contact them if you are certified, but I am guessing all they are going to ask you is about BL unlocking. To my question of the other user, are you running a custom kernel? I am sure Netflix sees a BL unlock if it is exposed. The only other thing you can do is try APKMirror. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-6-26-1-build-15-31696-release/

Install a custom kernel. They all (as far as I know) hide the unlocked BL at this point.

I wish I had more insight. I am using ElementalX and Magisk 19.3 with Play Store hidden. I actually factory reset my P3XL about a month ago to return to stock image from custom OS, and after all of the things mentioned was able to get Netflix from the Play Store and got the last update on June 14 (the one listed on the Play Store page). I'm not sure if something has changed since then. I am hesitant to uninstall and see if it is still there. I have 5 devices running Netflix including a P3 and P3XL. The other devices all are rooted with 19.3 as well and are running Nugget or Oreo with stock kernels. Just needed to get them to show certified and hide Play Store. The Pixels have been BL unlocked since the day they arrived last fall.
Fysix (and beinanchen if relevant)- I just read another post of your saying you are running Xposed. I mentioned that some Magisk modules could be an issue. I would disable all Magisk modules and reboot at least for testing.

Currently I'm on a stock boot partition so no Magisk or Xposed is running. I did the little migration wizard from my old Pixel 2 to my Pixel 3 immediately after unlocking the bl and I remember Netflix being omitted then even with just the bootloader unlocked and no Magisk. I haven't had a chance to try ElementalX yet but I'm fairly optimistic that the kernel is ratting me out currently and ElementalX will fix it.

Either way, EX is a nice kernel. The EX Kernel manager is a really nice app and the dev deserves the financial support. He literally has that kernel updated normally before most folks have even installed their monthly Google update. I have separate copies on both of my Pixels. Plus, it beats the hell out of having to copy/flash the kernel manually. Let me know how it goes.
I have the same issue.
I'm on dirty unicorn with kirishakura kernel and magisk.
I'm passing safetynet thought and downloading the apk doesn't work as the app crash.
Edit: play store says I'm certified.
Same problem here.
Running a custom kernel that is based off of DU with some ElementalX cherry-picks. Rom is custom compiled AOSiP. Latest Magisk canary installed and passing SafetyNet. Only other thing I did was hack gms DB's to allow Google Pay to work. I'm also using Vanced YouTube.

Google Pay with rooted Phone

Hi.
I have Pixel 2 on December patch. Stock kernel, and boot loader, but rooted with Magisk 18.1 installed. Yesterday my google pay stopped working. Jut kept getting error message that can't pay with this device, or something like that. I removed default card, and re-added. Now when I try to set it up to pay in store it keeps saying that it can't because phone is rooted, or modified. I haven't installed any updates, so not sure what changed.
Anyway, how can I get around this? Ran SafetyNet Check, but it didn't help.
Thanks

+1 **bump** same thing happened to me about a week ago on in store payments. Was on November Patch....and 18.1 Magisk. Uninstalled Magisk....updated to March patch....reinstalled Magisk and Magisk manager....repackaged Magisk to hide it and hid google pay in Magisk Hide. I also pass Safety Net check so I am not sure why it isn't working
Everything was working fine and had been for well over a year until last week.
Just got off chatting with Google Pay support....apparently the bootloader unlock hide is no longer working and it is being detected somehow and not being hidden by Magisk. I guess wait on an update!

We are not alone.....looks like the latest Google Play services is the culprit and is a little sneakier than before. There is a workaround posted in the thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/discussion-google-pay-magisk-discussion-t3906703
I'll just wait for the Magisk Update.
I just updated my phone from 8.1 to 9.0 (edit: March security patch) and installed Magisk 18.1. Safetynet passes and I checked off every google-related app in Magisk Hide, but I still can not add my card because Google Pay is detecting root. My banking app (HSBC) is also able to detect root, but all that does it show a warning. Hoping the next Magisk version has a fix.
Edit: Just tried the fix linked above and it did not work.

Safety Net fails after upgrading to OOS 11

I updated to the new OOS 11 via the Oxygen updater app and all is fine except safety net fails. I have an unlocked boot loader and coming from root, but I just wanted to try this out and don't care about having a rooted device at the moment, so I upgraded without doing anything else, but now safety net fails. And stuff like google pay doesn't work now.
Does anyone know how to fix safety net?

yeah i can confirm having the same problem. I unrooted the phone and google pay only operates in rooted mode.

Go into Magisk settings and enable the "Magiskhide - Hide Magisk from various forms of detection" then reboot and try again.
Should show attached after that

No I don't have root. I just wanted to go back to stock, so I directly install the android 11 without doing anything. Do I need factory wipe to get it to back to normal?

Well, Magisk is for obtaining root, if you don't have root then why would you need to "hide" root that you haven't applied?
If you're asking about the bootloader then the only thing you could do is to lock it again, which will wipe your storage so make sure you back up
I'm on OB4 with lastest magisk canary without problems, try using it and enable magisk hide option and if problem persist enable magisk hide por Google play services and wipe playstore data.
