I managed to get Netflix HD (specially HD because with a 2k display and not being able to get hd content is stupid) and HDR in my Mate 10 (not pro) by changing the device model to the mate 10 RS porshe design NEO-L29, also works changing it to Mate 10 pro BLA-L09. This also may work for the Non supported Mate 10 Pro phones, Netflix only support officially the NEO-L29 and BLA-L09, thats it says in the website.
You need to have magisk root, with safetynet pass in green and modify this file:
/product/hw_oem/ALP-L29/prop/local.prop (mine is ALP-L29 but it might be ALP-AL00, ALP-L09... Or whatever brand you have, check in settings about phone.. So edit the file for your device model)
See the screenshots attachment for more details.
So basically change all the words ALP-L29 (or whatever is your model) in that file to NEO-L29.
Reboot and go to Netflix, which now appears in the playstore and can be installed.
Go to any of the Netflix originals like black mirror or stranger things and you should see the word HDR next to the title.
I don't know if the hdr really works on our device's screen in Netflix but defenitley Netflix now recognises my Mate 10 as a porshe design and as a supported device.
What I can assure is that HD now works because before doing this change, I downloaded an episode of black mirror and the size was 330 mb but after the change the size now is 770 mb(if I change to NEO) and 550 (if I change to BLA-L09) and obviously it looks sharper...
HDR seems to work too, The shows with hdr support seem to look better than the ones where it says HD only, the blacks seem darker and more saturation but I cannot be 100% sure... ?
Keep in mind that not all the Netflix content is in hdr only the shows original from Netflix and only some of them.
Hope it works for you and let me know if you see the HDR improvement, specially in the PRO device because of the AMOLED.
I have mate 10 pro bla-l29... it is normal dual sim that is sold in europe. Bla-a09 is us version only. It is so ****ed up that they dont support all versions who comes up with such an idea. I kinda feel discriminated.
My phone is not rooted so now i am stuck watching sd on a 800 Dollar phone thanks

Yes man I know how you feel, thats why Ive been investigating untill i found how to fix this problem, But yeah you need Root for it, If I buy a phone super expensive is because i want the best feature, it very sad how these companies work.
I think the BLA-L09 is european and the BLA-L29 is like more international. So one would expect that the international version is what should be supported and not the euroean. Anyway, It´s not only huawei fault, its also netflix´s, why all these restricctons? Every phone with at least a 720p screen and google widevine drm support should be able to get HD support. All these exclusivities netflix is doing with some phones is very discriminatory.
Anyway, if you really consume a lot of netflix, i would recommend you to root and get HD support for your phone.

I don't wanna be that guy, but people need to stop saying 2k display... 2k is 2000. It makes absolutely no sense to say that.
2k resolution is a slightly larger fullhd cinematic movie recording format (just like 4k compared to Ultra HD)
2k is like 2048x1080 so if one of these phones has close to 2k screen it is the fullhd+ mate10pro.
Saying 2k is insulting your device.
No offence meant lol

Hahah don't worry, I say 2k because everyone one else knows it as that, few knows it as QHD. I normally like to call it just 1440p like 1080p, 720p as that's a more precise term...

The next Netflix update or the next update from Huawei? I have a BLA-AL00 but sadly as of today still no HD or HDR on Netflix yet
Thank you. It works for me (ALP-L29).
Anyone can make this as Magisk module? Thanks in advance.
Anyone figure out why the Mate 10 has been purposefully disabled or not supported for HDR playback? I want to know what dumb ****s are responsible for this.

Netflix could add any phone they want to support HD.
Huawei Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L09)
Netflix doesn't care for us... Still no HD support!
I just contacted with netflix support and their reply was to change my phone or watch on different device!
That's very sad.
Any other solution?

After read the problem about Netflix and pocophone , i just notice that i do have the same problem with my Phone! Only SD for Mate 10 PRO.
I found this over the web:
In response to your question, the HD playback on Netflix is related to the availability of the DRM LiveWine L1 (HD video support in DRM platforms as Netflix). As a representative of the manufacturer, I can inform you that all devices running on EMUI 8.0 or higher (Mate 10 Pro included) are scheduled to receive it at some point via a system update.
Well i Just check with a Tool and my mate 10 pro got L1 security enable but somehow only US single sim version Works :
Huawei Mate 10 Pro (BLA-A09, NEO-L29)
Got from Netflix site !

Not the same problem. Netflix could easily choose to support HD on the Mate 10/Pro at any time via an update. The Pocophone is unable to be supported, no update possible.

Actually no it does not, according to Netflix only the BLA-A09 supports Netflix in HD and that's only with the stock ROM. This is straight from Netflix so take it for what it is worth.

Just because the listing shows that it is HD does not mean that it will stream to your device in HD. It said the same thing with my mate 9 but only streamed in SD. According to Netflix the ONLY mate 10 that is certified is the BLA-A09.

Hi,
I heard that there is a new firmware update the one mentioned above, did anyone get the update and can post a change log of the changes?
I've seen mentions of 166 and even 171 but I'm still on 146 since I got the phone 2 weeks ago and did the first upgrade from 122.
Canadian M20P.
Hoping for camera fixes (less aggressive sharpening mainly and video letdowns) plus a few quirky bugs (I loathe the crippled functionality of the so-called "smart case").

Yep, you're right. But as i've seen on Beta Q video from YouTube, beside a tweaked visual experience with slightly altered icons and UI elements alongside the new system-wide font, better multitasking and the camera app redesigned with some more functionality alongside with GPU Turbo 4.0 and the second gen ARK Compiler i don't think we will get something else, at least not for 2-3 firmware updates on Q. But let's wait and see, maybe they will surprise us with some improvements on camera overall

That's why they will launch Mate 30 PRO, with new camera lens and different algorithms and chipset Kirin 985/990 which will support 60fps/4K video and so on ...?
On the other hand, i would appreciate if the Huawei team responsable for camera optimisations for P30 PRO could take a lesson from the OnePlus team, which released 4 firmware updates for One+7 Pro and really done a good job.

A buddy of mine has One + 7 Pro. He told me that since buying his phone he received some updates that significantly improved his photo quality (compared to the OOB firmware). Now we know everyone has an opinion about the quality of the pictures and praise their cameraphone, but apart from the S10 + after the new camera software update, the P30 pro does not have a rival .

This is a Netflix apk to force HD (1080p) on Widevine L3 devices. So basically any phone with a custom rom, where you can only watch SD netflix. Your device has to support L1 though (the v30 supports it). It's an old version (4.1) so the gui is not the best but it's the only one that works (with newer versions the hack is not possible for technical issues).
The original work is by Jonas-coded here:
https://github.com/jonas-coded/netflix_hd_patch
I've only added a string of code to make it work on full screen 18:9 for our v30. Since Netflix wasn't 18:9 at the time.

The App Needs to be UPDATED and Needs Some MODIFICATIONS
I used both HD and UHD Apk on My Widevine l3 device and Both works fine with HD and UHD Quality. But both these apk's needs to be updated and Specially needs Some modifications. I usually encounter so many problems with this Apk version Netflix. Sometimes the audio stops and The graphic changes. And there's no option to select the download location to SD card or internal Storage. Even after downloading videos offline, some videos doesn't play,Says "Playback Failed" which is really disappointing!. After all i can only appreciate the quality Of this APK not anything else. Pls update this apk and fix those issues so that it would be easy for us to USE.
Finally an apk that works! I can finally stream in HD!

Updated 2 days ago. Tried to watch Netflix, it has full sound etc but picture is black.... WTF is that about? Someone on reddit said its a problem with the update and YouTube hd videos have sound and no picture either.
Anyone else have this problem? If it is a common problem, then it's a bit of a disaster on their part.

Ι have also problem with carrier tv network on my country which i use through my phone.Same issue.Only sound and black screen!!This is a major issue where could we report it??
I dont know but its a terrible mistake on their behalf. I'm regretting buying this phone already...
Yes, HDR videos are not working. Youtube hdr or netflix hdr, sdr videos do work. I don't know why. I didn't reset my phone because I don't watch enough content on it to bother me but it pretty bad bug. I wonder if it fixes on an update soon, don't really know how to contact xiaomi and tell them.

Mi 9 Lite is not HDR 10+ compliant so you can't watch HDR content in Netflix, unlike flagship devices (Mi 9/Pro, S10 series, LG, ... etc)

Mi 9 Lite supports only old HDR version (YouTube)

I was talking about HDR ! It's a different thing from SD/HD
SD : Standard Definition
HD : High Definition
SDR : Standard Dynamic Range
HDR : High Dynamic Range
To fix your black screen problem, downgrade your firmware, or use a custom ROM ... or wait for a fix from MIUI.
How do I downgrade firmware? I'm not great with tech stuff

I presume its locked. I only got the phone a week ago...
if you don't feel it, don't do it. Too many people , here, asking for bricked device. If you want to do it, read the manual, two times, read again the manual, read an other one, and maybe start your stuff
Same problem for me. Black videos on youtube after updating to miui 11. WHAT THE HELL? How do I fix it?

Yeh, it's seriously annoying. How do we contact them? Surely, they've gotten feedback on this issue now and are working on it??
....
You got in the phone 2 apps: Services&feedback and Mi comunity.
In the first you describe the issue and it goes to Xiaomi directly.
The second is a big comunity of all devices (forum) and it will go to Xiaomi trough moderators.
I posted feedback in 13 feb and 1 of march, no reply, no nothing.
Really disappointed, why is the feedback app even there if there are no replies 1 month later.

Yeh, it's pathetic. Pointless feedback app, regret buying this phone now. Doubt I'll ever buy xiaomi again. And still no fix to the problem....

The devices themselves are great, but MIUI is still full of little things here and there that just make you want to replace it. App bugs, that annoying "force close everything constantly on the background" behavior...
This Netflix bug that remains unsolved "forever" now was the last straw that made me just unlock the device and choose LOS instead. Everything is near perfect now.

Can you explain more how you unlocked it? And what is LOS? I'm not great with tech but I'll follow your lead if it fixes Netflix and improves the phone.

If you're not that experienced I'm afraid it may be a bit overwhelming to begin with...
Search for these things in order:
1 - unlock your bootloader (search for unlocking bootloader in Xiaomi devices, there's a waiting period after you apply for it)
2 - flash and boot a custom recovery (go to Rom and Recoveries thread category, go to the TWRP thread and check out instructions
3 - LOS = LineageOS (in my case version 17.1, Android 10 based), again, there's a dedicated thread on it, with instructions on how to flash that.
If you manage to get passed all that, there's 2 more things you can do to complete the experience, related to Camera and Google's SafetyNet so you can install Netflix directly from Play Store as normal.
You will loose your warranty and there's always a chance of hiccups along the way so if you're not very comfortable with all this, the only alternative is to wait for the MIUI update that is slowly rolling out to devices.
Ok, probably too complicated for me and I'll probably make a mess of it. Guess I'll have to wait for update. Thanks anyways
