Relock G6+ on OREO

Hi,
I've got a Moto G6 Plus I need to RE-LOCK the bootloader. The device has OREO 8.0 and not PIE 9.0. So after reading about problems relocking the bootloader with Pie, I prefer to stay with Oreo until I can do the re-lock of the bootloader.
Please, someone has a guide about CORRECT relocking process for Oreo?
Thank you!

Switch firmware from Russian to Global

Hi guys.
I am new in Xiaomi devices and a little confuse about region firmware, lock and unlock bootloader in Xiaomi phones.
My Mi 9T firmware is latest russian firmware (QFJRUXM) and bootloader locked now (I do unlock bootloader before, but re-locked and back to official FW)
Can i unlock bootloader again, install global firmware with MiFlash Tool, then re-lock bootloader?
I hear only relock after switch from china to global or reverse can break device. Is this true?

Fixing Widevine state

Widevine is currently L3, but I need it L1.
Oneplus 8 Pro IN2020, 11.0.4.4.IN11BA
Radioactive kernel 2.1.4
Magisk 22.0, manager is already hidden, reboot done. Widevine is still L3.
What am I missing?
Maybe something in this recent thread:

Thanks man. I did a little read-up on the issue and it looks like a mess. There is basically no straightforward way to fix the DRM level. I've tried deleting data/cache, reinstalling Netflix, whatever possible solutions I found and they didn't work.
That method with rolling back to Android 10 could possibly work, but I'm not going that route. It's too much to do to fix a little issue, and even then it's not guaranteed to work.
It may be easier than you think. I'm on an Op8T 5G but the devices are similar. Install HideProps in Magisk https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...safetynet-prop-edits-and-more-v5-4-0.3789228/ then from a terminal emulator (like Termux) type (separate lines are semicolons: su; props; then go through the list of approved uploaded fingerprints and select an EU one for your same device. Then reboot. Worked on my Op8T when my Widevine dropped to L3 after a BL unlock. Right back to L1 after. Good luck!
Use Magisk Hide Props config direct link here install in Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/magiskhidepropsconf-v5-4-0-zip.5189681/

I've had a fingerprint installed for EU firmware, but it still doesn't help. I pass SafetyNet, but Widevine is always L3. I'm starting to think this has something to do with the fact that I flashed EU firmware onto Chinese (IN2020) phone, in order to get faster updates, than for International firmware. Anyways, I think I can live without Netflix
Hi Everyone -- I have had a OP8 Pro rooted for a long time on L1, and just noticed it got changed to Widevine CDM System ID 8159 and L3 with the latest OTA updated. I am familiar with props config and tried switching to EU firmware all to no avail -- nothing changes.
Since the OP8 Pro are so cheap now, I bought a new one and will just use the MSM tool to flash this back to it's original state, and give it to the wife / sell it etc.
The magic question is this -- OnePlus said this only happened with some devices -- so if I unlock and root the new one is it going to go to L3, or does no-one have any idea?
BTW -- I contacted support and they said I could either send it in now for a flash, or wait for an update that will fix the issue?
No-one seems to know what the root cause is.
Also, I guess a new update is coming out any day for IN2025...? Maybe that will fix it?
Thanks for any info
MW.
I should say that the latest update (11.0.5.5) has changed Widevine to L1. OnePlus fixed it without my intervention!

I booted into EDL mode and flashed 11.0.4.4 EU firmware via MSM tool. This essentially overwrites any previous software on your phone.
After flashing, you need to unlock bootloader again via developer settings. And also update to 11.0.7.7 via OTA. Most likely, the DRM-level will be fixed after all these manipulations.

also did you open bootloader right after 4.4 or update it via ota, and then unlock?
