Why did I buy this phone

[matt_faraday]

No Android 11.
No VoLTE or VoWIFI in the UK, but in Latvia ? sure why not.
Black crush graphics.
No 5G mmwave.
Used to have widevine L1 now L3 and asus are like yeah whatever, send your expensive phone back to us.
The support from Asus has been nothing short of atrocious. You give features to tiny little countries with less than 2 million people in it .. but a country with 66 million ? nah we don't care about you. Same for Australia.
I will not be buying Asus products in future. I thought you might want to help, but it seems you're not interested from the updates you release.

To get cyberpunked it would require the bugs to be on every single phone.
Guess what, my phone despite being rooted, aside from black crush which tons of phones have nowadays (altho not as extreme as on Rog3) no issues and all working splendidly.

I use banking apps so that's why not rooting Asus. Anyways, did you face DRM L1 to L3 downgrade issue with the latest .122 update? Or are you currently using any custom rom?

If I flash the latest .122 update via fastboot method, do you think I can regain L1 widevine security?

I thought safety net covered most of the banking apps. Some apps like google pay still have the ways to detect root, but mostly safety net is working since the days I had galaxy note 5.

My point wasnt that root = fix all your problems, infact rooting does mostly cause downgrade. My point being not all phones are messed up, the DRM thing happened for many phones, it wasnt exlusive to the Rog3 phones, you just got unlucky. And to answer your question, no the DRM thing never happened to me.
