Hi everyone, I just bought a Teclast M40 tablet and was wondering if anyone has found a Widevine L3 to L1 fix for it yet. I tried with the file posted here but after authorizing unknown sources installation it still says me "app not installed". Is there anything else I could do? SD Netflix is ok but can't see why I can't see it FullHD since I regularly pay...
Thank you!
P.S.: the tablet has not been unlocked or anything, has stock settings/software.
There's no way? :-(
Also bought the teclast m40 and IT arrived today. I also searching for a solution.

The fix patch is only used to restore Widevine L1 certification on those devices that already possessed it before installing a custom ROM or enabling root.
The Teclast M40 was born with the L3 certification and will die with that. Certifications are awarded based on the hardware of the device, which cannot be changed.
In any case, I assure you that on that type of screen watching Netflix or Prime Video in HD or SD does not change much ...
Well it doesn't just depend on hardware since there are phones, like Realme 7 Pro, that have been dwngraded from L1 to L3 with update patches... was hoping in some software trick to make the tablet look like another device or something :-/

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Widevine L1 certification is issued by Google.
Since certifying a smartphone by a company has a cost (which can be considerable), the smartphones of small or modest Chinese companies such as Teclast are assembled and sold with a stock AOSP ROM installed or slightly modified with proprietary applications, in order to limit production costs.
Often the Roms are not fully compatible with the installed hardware, as you can see from the M40 tablet, which has an Android Stock Rom with numerous bugs (see known bugs such as microphone, camera, wifi, brightness) and it takes several months before the manufacturer finds a solution.
On the other hand, companies like Realme (previously part of Oppo), are real giants compared to companies like Teclast, and can afford to have their devices certified by Google.
The Realme 7 pro you mentioned was born with Widewine L1 certification and following an update bug it was downgraded to L3. The problem was solved with subsequent updates directly from Realme.
To date, there is no way to give L1 certification to a phone that is born with L3. The only way was to use a modded netflix apk that enabled full HD even on non-compatible devices, but I don't know if there are any working apps out there. Over time Netflix has made them obsolete one by one...

I'm thinking about purchasing this device, can anyone see if it has Widevine L1 with DRM info app like the screenshot I'm attaching.
Since the Mi 8 doesnt have L1, I would guess the Poco F1 doesnt have it either.
I read somewhere that it has level 3 support. Means you can play videos to max 480p. In Netflix and Amazon prime. Even mi8 has L3
It's poor L3 as describe in this video
You think this would be never be changed? i use a lot netflix, so this may change for me the option to buy this phone...
1. It's L3 support i.e. only 540P.
2.No it's can't be upgraded because changing Widevine requires a physical connection with a authenticated computer, if Xiaomi does provides that, it will cost them a lot, they won't do anything for this.
They are looking into this https://twitter.com/jaimani/status/1036915644149653505?s=20

Perhaps one of the most important points to note about Widevine is that it doesn’t charge a license fee in order to implement its protection technology. So there’s no financial reason why smartphones like the OnePlus 5T are missing out.
Instead, hardware manufacturers only need to pass a certification process. This includes the completion of various legal agreements, implementation of some software libraries, and client integration testing to verify support, among other steps. Apparently this process is designed to be streamlined for easy adoption, and all chipsets used for Android smartphones support the necessarily technologies, so it’s only likely that manufacturer oversight or lack of testing time is to blame if smartphones aren’t compatible.

Yea, I read the article too. I don't think that any of the Xiaomi phones in India has the certification, even the Android One phones by Xiaomi don't have it. There we have Xiaomi running from legal documentations, Well, what can you expect from a Chinese enterprise?

And you believe them? it has never happened before, it is not gonna happen now, these certifications are not provided over the air due to security risks. They are just stalling.

Xperia XZ2 already had the required device-unique secret key in the TrustZone for Widevine L1 support, i.e. their Stock Firmware already had L1 certification. Do you really think Sony would ship a Flagship without L1?
Only the older P beta previews didn't have the L1 support, it was later added in the July build.
I don't think Poco F1 was shipped with the required secret key, and that's something that can't be "fixed" with an OTA update.

They also said that Bleeding issue is not bleeding issue but a gradient feature that will be solved in MIUI10

one thing for sure is China doesn't have Netflix/Amazon/you-name-it, that's why they doesn't care about Widevine L1...

Dear reader,
After many year or lurking XDA and flashing countless phones I have finally create an account! I quickly wanted to thank everybody here in the community to allow me to get most out of my hardware despite phone manufacturers bloating my phones to pieces. (btw I hope I am posting this in the correct place - please correct me if I am not)
I have recently purchased the Oppo K1 (version: PBCM30) on my trip to China. I am very happy with the hardware. Dual sim, MicroSD slot, in-display fingerprint sensor, 4 gigs of ram and runs on a Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660 with a 6.4inc display. All for a bit over $190! My previous phone was a OnePlus 3.
The phone runs Oppo's ColorOS which is fairly ok. However, the pre-installed garbage has brought tears to my eyes. Out of my 4GB, over 2GB is consumed in idle state. Not to mention the battery life (although it has a 3600mAh battery).
Now my question;
Does anyone know if there is already development going on for custom ROMs for the Oppo K1. Is there perhaps a different ROM that is compatible with the Oppo K1. I tried searching the web but could not find anything.
Many thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Banaan001
I have this phone for around a month now,
love every bit of it, really cool phone.
but the annoying thing is there is literally nth about it anywhere on any site,
neither this nor the Rx17 neo or R15x
I thought since they're the exact same models there should be a global ROM for the k1 as well,
but didn't find anything.
the closest I got was an Indonesian site giving a tutorial on how to root it, but honestly couldn't convince myself to trust it
I bought Oppo K1 aswell and the phone is pretty cool. But there are no ROMs at the moment in the development.
Is there any method to root the phone?

Not that i'm aware of. It should be possible to root the phone and remove the unwanted software, but I don't know which root program would be suited.
Good afternoon group I have the same team the rooting process is the following
First Connect internet on your pc
Download The Kingo Root Computer Or Pc Version Software.
After Download the Kingoroot Software Then Install the software on your computer Or Pc.
Now Download your Mobile model USB Driver And Also Install It on your Computer Or Pc.
After Complete the Installing all software on your Computer Or Pc.
First Your mobile Power On.
Then Need Mobile Battery Charge 80%.
Need Also Your Computer Internet Data Connection turn On.
Now Connect USB Cable From Your Pc To Mobile. Take a few minutes to detect USB recognize your mobile.
Click Root When rooting time Do Not Unplug the USB Cable before completed Root.
You're welcome, my friend.

Hi friend,
Thanks for the suggestion. I researched KingoRoot a little and it seems that a lot of unwanted software will be installed together with Rooting. Please consider these apps will gain full system access without the need of permissions so I am not taking the risk.
OxygenOS 9.0 for Oppo K1?
It would be neat if Oppo K1 could install a Oxygen 9.0 Gsi Rom. ColorOS is terrible. Hopefully there will be a gsi rom for it with in display fingerprint.
We need a TWRP build for it to start, there are existing builds for similar models but I'm wary of attempting to flash them on this device. Has anyone heard if the kernel source code for it has been released yet?

Any updates on this? I have the rx17 neo Europe version, which I think is the same as the k1. ColorOs is really a nightmare. Can we ask to some developer to help us with this? I think there is a little community around this phone, and is quite good, good specs and everything but the Os is garbage.
Hi,
I own the Teclast P10HD https://www.teclast.com/en/zt/P10HD/
I want to root it, and if possible install Android 10, I have searched the forums but found nothing about it (There's a thread about the older P10 which has different hardware).
Any help is highly appreciated.
I've been trying to root the device but traditional methods don't work as the boot partition can't be unlocked, also the key method used for other devices made by the same chipset manufacturer doesn't work either. There's a flashing tool provided by the manufacturer but it only works on Windows and I don't own a copy so I couldn't try it. Let's hope someone is able to unlock the device as the hardware is pretty decent
This device has something odd.
Antutu reports the same speed of a mate pad t8 and many other tablets, but it's not very responsive.
I think android is not very optimized for this unisoc, what do you think?
It get much nicer with poco launcher and mi camera but still it looks a bit slow for a 2020 device

you need to bear in mind that it has only 3 GB RAM, which is not ideal for a 2020 android device. I use it mainly for internet relating activities and social network apps. I installed some lite games and they work fine. Given its extremely low price, its value is good.
Did you manage to find any custom ROM that works on it?

The mate pad has 2gb so that's not the question.
The p10hd can run everything, it gives no problems but generally speaking it is not that fluid.
I know Huawei or xiaomi can probably add some optimizations here and there, maybe a version 10 of android and a teclast custom launcher could help it. Let's see if they prefer to launch new devices or are now working on those they already produce to experiment a bit.
However, unisoc is pretty good, now that chromeos is getting lighter, it would be nice to see it on this soc

Sorry but I didn't get this line. What is Unisoc? and what does chromium have to do with it?
By the way, does Teclast usually upgrade the software or are we gonna stuck to what we got?

No idea on teclast upgrade policies but I guess we're OK considering that m16 is still on android 8.
Unisoc is the cpu soc brand. It's quite cheap but not bad at all, I was only guessing how chromeos would run on it. Chromeos includes android and Linux apps, it's going to be an os we will find very often in the next years. I would try a color e-ink too in it, to make cheap long-lasting edu tools available to a huge lot of people: add the embedded 4g/5g connection support and you get wherever you want

your phone originally is global or cn version?
It's originally the global version. Or at least that's what the seller claimed. It's a tad more expensive.
I changed my ROM from CN to Global but it is still level 3...
I guess the conversion is not 100%
I'm late to the party, but I owned the Global version with Widevine L1 and it still was unable to play Netflix in HD which is one of the reasons I sold it after it. I was disappointed but I think if the Netflix site doesn't list it as a HD supported device it probably won't work regardless the Widevine security level.
After updating to 11.0.2 I checked Netflix to see if anything changed. As I suspected, still on L3 with SD playback. We all know this phone can easily play a 1080p video.... Gotta love it. My fingers are crossed, maybe someday

Nord N10 just have not been provisioned for Widevine L1, no OTA released by OnePlus (or custom ROM) can fix it, as key provisioning has to be done at factory.
