New Mi9 - Widevine

[Poney70]

In DRM Info, the fingerprint of my device is
Xiaomi/cepheus/cepheus:10/QKQ1.190825.002/V11.0.3.0.QFAMIXM:user/release-keys

I guess only devices in EU(EEA) got L1, not devices with MI(global).

Nope, that's wrong you should have Widevine L1.

This patch is for mi-9t. As far as I remember, that patch deletes a file on mi-9t, which does not exist on our mi9. Unfortunately won't enjoy HD yet

Btw guys, you should always state about which version of mi9 your are talking about (aka which one do you have).

I have the 8/256 mi9 version and as far as I know, nobody has ever seen this device having L1. On the standard/classic/EU mi9 version (6/64, 6/128) some users have L1 and some do not.

For now, the case is still not solved

cheers and thx for input guys

Mine is 6/128 and I got L1. Got it after doing factory reset/format data.

Same issue with MI9 Lite, Widevine L3...

I can confirm that the patch work on mi9 lite. The version 1. I'm on the last stable xiaomi.eu .

I had no luck. I don't have any module that causes Widevine level to change, so uninstalling them had no effect. With no modules I still have L3. Algo without magisk.

Did you hide Magisk from Netflix in the manager like so?

I don't think my device had L1 out of the box. The Mi 9 variant I am using is the one that has the model number M1902F1G and had a stock global firmware coded as PFAMIXM, not PFAEUXM which was meant for the European market.

I even went as far as fastboot flashing back to the stock version of V10.2.9.0.PFAMIXM that was released around April 2019, and locked the bootloader just to see whether I could get L1. But still no go.

Today I flashed the Widevine L1 patch but still L3. From the recovery.log, I found that the script tries to mount /vendor using busybox, which, by the way, was not included and not available in the Mi 9. This is a partial output of the log file:
---
Mounting filesystems...
run_program: execv failed: No such file or directory
run_program: child exited with status 1
about to run program [/sbin/busybox] with 3 args
Removing files...
run_program: execv failed: No such file or directory
run_program: child exited with status 1
---
So in TWRP, I had to mount /vendor, copy over both the liboemcrypto.so files to the relevant directories and chmod both files to 0644. Widevine still at L3.

It's still OK as long as I can watch Netflix even if it's in SD.

Below are the screenshots of my device info and DRM info.

I've got L1 at the end. But Netflix shows black screen. Movies and serials got sound, but all content with black screen. If I uninstall, image come backs again. If I install windevine patch back screen on Netflix. I come back to L3 again. Maybe patch needs to be better.

Something is missing/bugged inside Mi 9 lite ROM. FYI this black screen issue with Widevine L1 was fixed for Mi 9T Pro/Mi 9 devices in 20.1.16 weekly update.
