Done the ott update last night to .122 and have had my widevine downgrade to L3. Was L1 before. It's the Global WW version and I live in Ireland so there is no local service store for Asus. If the fix can be done by my self then I can. The phone is unmodified. But I am well used to doing this.
With every update something or the other gets screwed up. With .99 update my widevine downgraded. With .122 update my plug n Play functionality is gone. I am afraid to even update now.
hello mods, or any dev seeing this post, why my r3 after the latest update ver.122 my widwfine security was changed from L1 to L3, i see this issue was spread to other users too, if the sugestion was to go to service centre then its totaly absurd, i thnk its software related, my r3 was is not rooted or any kind, please fix it anytime soon
After checking, if you have never unlocked or rooted your device, ZS661KS Widevine L3 issue, which is irrelevant to system update, can only be fixed by rewriting several keys in the repair center currently. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have the issue. I will PM you for further repair arrangement.
Same issue here widevine downgraded from L1 to L3, unfortunately Rog 3 is unofficially released here in the UAE so no service center of some sort. Plus tencent version flashed with Global Rom are mostly the ones being sold here.
Not many might remember this, the same thing happened during poco F1. But OEM took quite sometime(exactly 4 months) to fix this issue. The issue was on all the poco F1 devices and ROG3 isn't even near sales value. The fix was provided via OTA. May be MI team is more accomplished in doing that. May be technicalities are unknown for ROG 3 and isn't available in public.
It has happened with many phones in the past some got it sorted through an ota while some others had to get their phones to service centres to get the DRM keys flashed again like in the case of OnePlus 5/t (all caused due to different bugs probably)
Recently oneplus 8pro got an ota to fix the same l3 issue I guess that was something that could be solved with an ota
I already had a read on this article when it was published. But it would be silly to say this when device DRM got downgraded via OTA. Don't you think if bug was there with silicon the issue would have been there since launch on the affected devices and not after OTA. I know I am d-bagging ASUS here but that's what it is.

Widevine changed to L3 Netflix was broken and now after clearing cache it looks ugly. And am not going to service center for your mistake.
My widevine is L3 as well, how do I fix this?

One issue after another, first touch issue, then charging issue, now this.
It's like I get one problem fixed, there is new problem waiting for me. Regret buying this phone now.
My phone's Widevine security certification is downgraded to L3 as well.
How to fix this?

Me too having issues. I didn't root or anything

Kindly also arrange something for me I'm also downgraded to DRM L3
Judging by this article all the affected devices will have to be taken to the service centre to get it back to L1 imo

I also encountered this problem, a rather unpleasant situation.

Recently oneplus 8pro got an ota to fix the same l3 issue I guess that was something that could be solved with an ota
so from the articles I have been able to deduce a couple of stuff
~ this was caused due to a bug on Qualcomm's side
~ seemingly an ota can't fix it and you'll have to get your devices to a service centre to get the DRM keys flashed again
I am still holding on to the .99 firmware. Will i be downgraded if i update to .122 now?

Could be with Qualcomm too tho as all OEMs say the same thing when they have issues with drm
For example Asus devices get to keep L1 now on unlocking that's something Qualcomm can do so why can't they mess something up 🤔
