NOTE: If you are facing this issue on a non-rooted device, then you’ll have to root it first. Yes, as counter-intuitive as it may sound, but currently there’s no way of rectifying this issue on a non-rooted device. So make sure to get this job done before proceeding ahead.
FIX 1: By Spoofing Device to Pixel 6 Pro

- Then download and install Termux from the Play Store.
- Now launch Termux and type in the below command:
su

props //this will launch the Magisk Hide Props Config 5 //add/edit custom build.prop n //new value ro.netflix.bsp_rev //name of the entry Q8450-34634-1 //value of the entry
- Once done, restart your device. Then install the LSPosed Zygisk version.
- Now launch it, search for the Pixelify GPhotos module, and install it.

That’s it. This was the first method to get the Netflix Widevine L1 HDR 10 on your rooted Xiaomi device. Let’s now make you aware of one more method to get this job done.
FIX 2: Using Game Unlocker
Some users have reported that while they were able to get WideVine L1 via the above method, but it didn’t give them HDR 10. Instead, they had to use the Game Unlocker Tool. All you need to do is just get hold of this module from GitHub and flash it via Magisk, it should then give you the HDR 10 as well, apart from the DRM L1. If it’s open source, so easy to carry out, and only takes a few seconds, why haven’t we given it te top priority?
Well, it’s due to the drawbacks attached to this mod. Here’s what the developer has to say in this regard “This module will not work if You’re using MagiskHide Props. Or other similar Modules with it. Not Work for All Games, causing SafetyNet fail. Need Xposed module to fix or bypass SafetyNet. It may break some system Apps, such as Miui Camera, Package Installer and etc.”
While not many use the MagiskHide Props nowadays and there is a handy way out to pass the SafetyNet test, however, the fact that many crucial system apps might not work could be a dealbreaker for many. If that is not the case with you, then here’s how you could put this module to the test right away [before starting, make sure to remove all the tweaks that you have done in the first fix].
- First off, download the GameUnlocker Module from GitHub.
- Then launch Magisk, go to Modules, and select the module.
- Now press the Volume Down key to select the first unlocker.
- Then, hit Reboot. Once it boots up, delete the data of Netflix.
That’s it. These were the two different methods to get the Netflix Widevine L1 HDR 10 on your rooted Xiaomi device. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
