point Checked and confirmed. L3
Out of your topic/
- Can you test about 5Ghz Hotspot?
it doesn't open. Only 2.4 Ghz is working. Not a big issue but was said as corrected.
thanks
Edit:
Got it working after reboot, but a second connection is inefficient. only 2.4Ghz stay available

You have a Mi 9T Pro/K20 Pro, it's an another issue not affected by Mi 9T/K20 users.

@Poney70 Thank you, it worked fine with 9.12.26. Does it still work with 20.1.2?

Confirm working with 20.1.2.

- Updated the patch (v2) using the files from Official Global/EEA MIUI 11 Android 10 ROM.

- Updated the patch (v2) using the files from Official Global/EEA 11.0.1.0 MIUI 11 Android 10 ROM.

can this also eb used for the cepheus one? Seems the latest update downgraded it from L1 to L3

No problem.
If you fear to do it, Check in vendor/lib and vendor/lib64 if you have the relevant file called "liboemcrypto.so".
In this case your issue is not related.
If after zip install you get trouble just delete this file from folders.

does this path also work for mi 9?

 

[Poney70]

I can't tell... but you can try the "v1" patch version.
And if not working, use the Widevine L1 Remover package added at the bottom of my previous post.

 

[extpumajl]

It doesn't work on Mi9. I have tried it several days ago. Installation was successful, but widevine is still L3.

 

[carlosjrlu]

Got the patch working on my mi 9t and got widevine L1 again. But the netflix app still shows only 540p (Tested on the test patterns video).

Is there anything I could do?

I have to say: No, anything better to do now.
just give patience until solution soon to come from expert hands here.

 

[Parpalloto]

Just tried v1 version of the patch on my 9T Pro and L1 is back on 20.1.16. 1080p playback working again on Amazon Prime Video.
