Is there any way to make it L1, as WideVine DRM is L3 in DRM Info (bootloader locked) - Asus Zenfone 5Z Guides, News, & Discussion

My Bootloader was unlocked at first with Beta Verizon of Android 10 installed, so sure it would be L3 with bootloader unlocked.
But, then I found a way on XDA to lock the bootloader back by downgrading to Android 9 Pie, from link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5z/help/how-to-lock-bootloader-t4031603
So, this successfully relocked my bootloader and then I upgraded back to Android 10 stable version. Then after upgrading back to Android 10, I did hard reset once. But still when I download the DRM Info App, it still says WideVine L3, with bootloader locked and latest Android 10 Version of the ZenUI installed
Plus here I found one user (dip7g) stating that he did lock bootloader back and got L1 back, but never stated how. Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5z/help/relocking-bootloader-netflix-hd-t3982629
If any one can help me with getting L1 back, it would be great as I would be giving away this cell phone to my little brother, who likes to stream Prime and Netflix a lot.
I have also attached the Screenshots of the bootloader, DRM Info and About Phone.
Thanks a lot, in advance.

Hi! Did you relock the bootloader before booting into the rom? I am no expert and this is my first dual slot and relocked android, but I started off with by installing Oreo
(Name of file was WW_ZS620KL_80.30.96.111_MR2_20180921002943_release-user.raw.zip)
despite the instructions saying to use pie. After installing, I booted into fastboot again and relocked the bootloader before having android start (I can't remember if I had to use a fastboot command to switch slots or not). I then started android and drm info said I had Widevine L1, and after manually updating with the fota links, l am still sporting widevine L1. If you update using the the links like I did, 100.04.44.98 to 100.10.107.36 was leading to a 404 and I went through the post and used a full install zip posted sometime February this year. Hope this somehow helps and good luck!

Thanks I'll try the same. And let's see what happens.
Just to confirm, as I am in latest version of Android 10. I'll try downgrade to oreo, unlock the bootloader and before I boot into Oreo I'll relock it. And see what shows up in DRM info.
Sounds right?

Well, I am not sure if it's tied to your bootloader or not. I saw some people talking about some of the earlier releases of android 10 causing the google play certifications being messed up. Here is a link for someone mentioning this issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...ota-update-links-update-20-08-t3831794/page80
I'm not sure if you would just need to wipe your data or unlock and relock again. All I can say is I came from Resurrection Remix, used those files, and it worked. I wish I knew more but I am not a developer

And yes one thing I noticed I was unable to change slot/partition after installing latest Asus USB drivers and latest ADB as well. Everything else worked in fast boot except "--set-active=" command

Maybe there are multiple ways of doing this, but I think I did mine by using "fastboot set_active A" Maybe you should update your platform tools if they dont work. I think someone posted an updated version with support for dual slot phones in the twrp install thread. I am a bit crunched for time rn as I just got up and have stuff due tonight.

Thank you bro. I tried everything latest platform tools, driver update, unlocking relocking. but still it is stuck in L3
Still error while trying to change slot/partition
Bootloader is locked, latest Android 10 fota. Still no luck.
So I finally decided to give up trying.
But I highly appreciate your support. Thanks man.

[Q] Best way to get off of 5.1 LMY47D?

Hey everyone, not quite sure what to do here, predicament is as follows:
I am on T-Mobile, phone is stock, bootloader locked, not rooted. This is the first phone that I have not wanted to root/tweak (been with Android since the HTC Hero). Anyhow, I sideloaded the LMY47D 5.1 build when it came out the other day... Now, I feel like I am stuck.
I'm reading various threads with contradictory information, but it seems that I can not downgrade from 5.1 to 5.0.1 because my phone will brick? That said, it sounds like there will NOT be an OTA from D (and maybe even E), so I will need to hopefully wait for M to go to the google factory images page...
When it comes down to it, I need my bootloader to be locked and phone unrooted after I figure out what to do here.
So... What is my best course of action? Is downgrading out of the question, because ideally i'd just downgrade to 5.0.1 right now and then wait for the OTA (and capture it if no has by that time!)? If not.. I guess I just need to wait and hope for M factory images.
Thanks!
you can always use fastboot to go back to 5.0.1

Just curious then... how are all these people bricking by downgrading? Does the wugfresh toolkit not use the fastboot method to downgrade or something?
i flashed 5.0.2 roms after flashing a 5.1 rom, and my device isnt bricked.

Hmm, I guess I am confused as to what is causing the bricks for those that downgraded? I'll go ahead and do that right now but... I've read direct quotes from others stating that downgrading a Motorola bootloader is an instant brick and others have said it has happened to them.

Unlock your bootloader and enable oem-unlock in developer options and you can flash any image in fastboot.

Unlocking the bootloader makes no difference for receiving and installing OTA`s, make sure you always have oem-unlocking enabled because then you can`t flash anything anymore if an incident would occur and you`re without a OS.

Most of them because they wiped their system and couldn`t flash a image anymore because oem-unlock wasn`t enabled as i heard.
Sweet, successful downgrade!
I saw it mentioned in another thread that now that I have successfully downgraded I may brick when I get the T-Mobile 5.1 OTA.
Is there any credence to this? I am back on 5.0.1 now, relocked my bootloader, etc. Just wanted to make sure. It doesn't seem as if that would be the case to me but... Just wanted to be safe rather than sorry.
Thanks!
Disregard! Got it handled. Thanks guys!

Couldn't agree with you more....specially on the sentence I highlighted in bold. Got into the same problem yesterday. I excitedly upgraded from LMY47D to LMY47E. Later realised it's a Verizon image. So, thought let me go down to 5.0.1 and get a OTA - the "proper" way to upgrade.
While flashing, it didn't let me downgrade my bootloader. Mistake #1.
Then continued to flash the remaining images (radio, recovery, cache, system, userdata).
Then I locked my bootloader, so that it continues to look like "fresh out of the box". Mistake #2.
Then when I rebooted, it was constantly giving the error that NFC has failed and the Phone has failed. I couldn't get past those errors. It was continuously giving me that error.
It wouldn't let me unlock the bootloader, as the new bootloader (5.1) needs the OEM unlocking enabled in Developer's options.
Then I realised that there was a slight gap of time between showing the NFC & Phone error and the next set of NFC & Phone error. Using that, with great difficulty, setup the phone - going through every tap using the gap that was available between 2 sets of errors. Then I unlocked the developer's options, then enabled the OEM unlocking and finally got my bootloader unlocked.
Torrid - Horrible task. Was scared I had bricked my phone....but through some hard work (and sleepless night - up until 6am), got this finished.
Guys - seriously suggesting you NOT to lock the bootloader, IF you have unlocked the bootloader. Speaking with experience. Learn from my mistakes.
EDIT: I realised what the problem was and why NFC & Phone were erroring out. It was because I forgot to flash the Boot image. So, Bootloader & Boot were 5.1 & the rest were 5.0.1

And why do you want to relock? Paranoid about security? Keep your phone in your pocket.
All advice in XDA is not to relock your bootloader because it reduces the possibilities of recovering if you ever make a mess of an update.

Just install a custom Kernel that "kind of" hide your unlocked bootloader. EX Kernel, Franco and some others will be just fine. Android Pay will work... I would never lock the bootloader of mine, except for RMA purpose. If something fails, you have way more chance fixing it..! :good:

RacerXO - did you get Android Pay to work on the N6F26U Build? I also cannot get the bootloader to relock. I tried using WugFresh Nexus Root Tookit v2.1.9.
Did you install a custom Kernal? Wondering if this the answer. Thanks for the help.
I was unlocked from the first day I got the phone. Today I am locked, running nougat. Having read some of the horror stories here, I've always booted the phone after flashing updates before rooting. Did the same thing when I went back to stock to use AP. I backed everything I wanted to keep and made sure it booted, before I locked the bootloader. No issues after almost a month.
What I wound up doing was go to the T-Mobile page and established the official latest factory image was 6.0.1 MMB29K - installed that using Wugfresh. After installing and logging into WiFi and my Gmail account was prompted to install 7.0.0 NBD92G - this installed fine and then after installing a couple of security updates (thru April 2017) was able to Re-Lock my Bootloader (I wanted Android Pay to accept my credit cards). Data reception is still degraded significantly, am now thinking there is a problem with the tower.

Rooting with Magisk then using Magisk manager to "hide" root should give you android pay again. This may not be the directing you want to go in, but it is an option.
I locked Bootloader but you have to flash stock recovery 1st
I was on stock 7.1.1 unlocked bootloader, rooted Nexus 6.
I relocked my bootloader by simply going into adb/fastboot and flashed the latest stock factory firmware image (not the ota) with the June 5, 2017 security update, rebooted, activated developer options and enabled usb debugging, adb/fastboot again, and entered the command "fastboot oem lock", hit okay/yes when I got the relock warning, and voila! phone relocked.
Rebooted and set up phone/reinstalled my apps, music, and files.
No issues.

v21: Root/Unlocked Bootloader + TWRP?

Hi! When I got my R1 HD, I wanted to get Lineage OS and TWRP. I tried everything including:
adb "fastboot oem unlock",
SP Flash Tool, and
DirtyCow R1-HD Tool,
yet I found no luck. Does anybody know how to get an unlocked bootloader and TWRP on an R1 HD v21? Thanks!:good:
P.S:
My "Custom build version" is:
BLU_R0011UU_V21_GENERIC. Also, this is not the Amazon Prime variant, however I got this from Amazon (for example: I get no ads).
Sorry to tell you, but version 21 of the ROM cannot be bootloader unlocked or rooted. The more recent updates have secured the phone so that none of the previous methods you mention work anymore. The phone is no longer being manufactured and Blu does not provide a process for unlocking the bootloader as some other companies, like Motorola, do. So even though you paid more to get the no ad version, you can't root it. 8-( This was only possible in the earlier versions of both the amaon and non-amazon models.

No, sorry - there is no known way to root or flash modified software after the phone has been upgraded with factory software. You can't go back. And, even if you could, it wouldn't help - it still couldn't be rooted or flash a modified ROM. Blu does not offer to unlock bootloaders the way some companies, like Motorola, do. Your phone is stuck with what you have now.

Well, is there at least a way to skin the phone (ex: change bootanimation, remove bloatware (Yes, there is still bloatware apps, and I'm talking REMOVE the apps, no uninstall for user only), remove the Adups spyware) so that it is just like stock Android?

No - all those things require root, which you can't get. Only the phones that were shipped with earlier versions of the ROM and hadn't been updated over-the-air could be unlocked and rooted.

Imma email Blu and see if they'll loosen the restrictions if they're stopping development. Can't hurt at this point.

First, keep your code (on several places, even printed on the paper), it is good for relocking/unlocking (you never know, some actions may lock the Bootloader back) for the lifetime of your phone.
You don't want to go buying the same thing again
Assuming you know how to enable OEM Unlock in Developer's menu and you are a little familiar with Fastboot, it is simple to unlock the Bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock <your code>
If not familiar, and if not clear as below, search on Google how to:
- enable Developer menu by clicking 7 times to the build number in Settings/About
- enable OEM unlock in Developer menu
- install "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" to Windoze (smallest, self containing package with everything for ADB and Fastboot)
- reboot to Fastboot: keep pressing Vol-, then Pow button
Unlocking Bootloader triggers hard-reset, wiping also Internal memory. Backup as much as you can - use Google account, HiSuite, WA own chat backup, copy DCIM to PC, Contacts can be exported to vcard file, etc
Rebranding to AL10c00, upgrading to b540 Oreo, applying the neccesary Network patch to make SiM card(s) working - all is in deep details explained in the OP posts:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
Read two times before you start, and keep the instructions opened on the PC while doing - wrong moves can cause (soft) bricks

Thank you, Brother, I have done all procedure and my device is now at Oreo, Build EVA-AL10 8.0.0.540(C00).
After doing all the required steps I have flashed Huawei's Official Recovery and enabled OTA, after that I have received an OTA update of 3 MB, Should I install the update or not?

It is safe, just some Patch02 (never found exactly what for).
If you don't mind, you can skip (you can disable OTA - see in OP)
If you go for, you must first flash back the stock Recovery, hence not having TWRP. Not sure anymore, maybe also stock Ramdisk, hence not Magisk
Patch02 will not affect Network Patch or Face Unlock (cool add-on, see OP)
If you didn't apply Network patch yet, etc - then accept Patch02 and continue with OP instructions.
If you already rooted by Magisk, then don't bother with Patch02, too much trouble preparing clean sheet for OTA and rooting again

I have already applied Network Patch, See my both SIM is working.
Right now I don’t need Root so I'm skipping Magisk.
I just want to disappear the update available Notification, if the update is Safe I'll go for it.

I'm from Bangladesh, some Operator in our country introduced VoLTE.
It seems there is an option called VoLTE after upgrade to Oreo. Is it really works?

Nope, VoLTE does not work.
Everything else, like location sharing and Ok Google are fixed with Network patch, but not VoLTE.
The guy who did the whole majestic work went tired (although he believed he was close to fix VoLTE) and gave up. Later he upgraded to newer Huawei devices with Pie, etc, and eventually moved away from XDA

Brother, How to remove the warning when Phone boots "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted"??

It's not possible to remove the warning on booting "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" (IMO, it must have been commented somewhere in the OP) - that's price for the unlocked Bootloader.
But you must not relock Bootloader - it would trigger Hard reset, removing Network patch (even worse, it could also cause soft brick if TWRP or Magisk are installed)
15 credits for unlock in fastboot mode (not pay over sms)

Question how to relock the bootloader?

hi guys ,
i want to make my oneplus 10 pro 2213 model back to store condition
how can i lock the bootloader?
i cant find any answer anywhere and im not sure if fastboot enhancer is the solution
my device is fully work btw
thanks
it's highly recommended that you don't do that. Most of the devices I've seen get brincked in that operation.
But if you wanna proceed with that, you have to flash the stock image back again, there must be no changed image (boot, recovery, system...).
And then you can run the command "fastboot flashing lock"
what about msm tool
anyway to do that with the tool ?
There is no tool current available to O10PRO, all there is require username and password.
A lot of people, myself included, are waiting for a msm tool so we can fix our devices.
OK
so if my bootloader is unlocked any problem for gpay ota ect?
It may not work .. Netflix doesn't work for example. Gpay as I don't use can't say for sure

No unlocking the bootloader will not effect gpay or any other banking app. Now if you are rooted then yes gpay and banking apps will not work. You will have to use Magisk to fix that.
Well I'm not sure

That could be the difference between the 2213 and 2215. I got my 15 from OnePlus carrier unlocked. That's the first thing I did was unlock the bootloader. Now my gpay, paypal and my banking apps all work. I'm not rooted yet I'm just waiting on a full rom update to get the boot.img. But I see that OnePlus is going to post oxygenOS 13 today. I might check it out. OnePlus has really done a number to the 10 this time. As for as Netflix I think there is a thread in here some place.
Hi guys
Anything new in the MSM tools?
Or maybe any other way to lock the bootloader?
look on GitHub for fastboot enhanced works really great as long your in de bootloader you can do every command with just a click i was thinking on doing that my self to but then i saw something's what i want to try out and there is also a fastboot ROM in the forums maybe that you help you too
Thanks !
I will read about that!
i have the same question.
I have a NE2213, unlocked and rooted and now want to sell it.
So my plan was to uninstall Magisk with all Modules, do a factory reset, update to NE2213_11_A.16 and then relock the bootloader.
since i am only rooted with stock rom - the only changed image should be the boot.img which will be stock after i update zo A.16.
Should be right, isnt it?
since my only other option ist to contact the support for a online MSM-Tool, which i need to do anyways when it does not work - i would give it a try...

Fastboot commands for restoring to stock worked for me.
OnePlus 10 Pro Fastboot ROMs (and how to make for any device)
First of all and most importantly, I want to say that this is not my work. This is a port of the work done by @abhinavgupta371 and @HELLBOY017 for the OP9RT. I merely made sure there weren't extra or missing files and edited the .bat and .sh...

FYI - Was able to lock the bootloader on my OP 10T, A.06 Oxygen OS.
