Question Bootloader unlock - Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

Hello everybody,
I've recently bought a Xiaomi Mi11 Ultra.
After using it for a couple months, i've noticed two things that don't work.
First, Netflix application is unavailable on the play store. I've downladed the apk from different sources but impossible to get it working.
Second, googlepay don't work because "my terminal is not safe".
I've read a lot of threads before posting it.
When my phone boot, there is an open padlock si i assume my bootloader is unlock.
I've checked my DRM info, and Widevine CDM security level is L1.
i've run Safetynet check and everything is in green except CTS profile matched who is in red
The advice is "lock bootloader".
I'm currently running MIUI Global 14.0.1 / 14.0.1.0 (TKAMIXM)
Why is my bootloader unlock if i am running an official global rom ? Was it a Chinese version ? It's not an official ROM ? How to know what was running before ?
What is the best way to get netflix and Gpay working ? Flashing a stock rom and the bootloader will lock itself or flash a xiaomi.eu rom with TWRP ?
I've read that xiaomi.eu rom hide unlock BL.
Thanks in advance for your answers
Regards

Your bootloader is unlocked. Probably your phone is Chinese version with installed global ROM. My advice is: flash xiaomi.eu or EliteRom (which is based on xiaomi.eu and has even more features). Both ROMs are with passed SafetyNet. You will not regret it. Cheers

Should i get the Mi 8 Global ROM or Global Version?

Hello! I want to get a Mi 8 soon but unsure which version of the phone i should get. As i want to make sure that all the Google Play Services are working and also Google Pay. Would i be fine getting the Global ROM Phone or will i need to get the Global Version Phone. I do also play to add a Custom ROM for the phone as well when it starts rolling out.
Note: I am in the UK and want to get the Black/6GB/128GB Model
I would also prefer to get the Global ROM due to the fact of it being much cheaper than the Global Version but want to make sure everything will work before I do.
The current status is quite simple for the Global ROM.
1. The Global Rom is out;
2. You can flash it. but you need to unlock the bootloader first, which usually requires you to submit a request and wait around 360 hours.
3. Once you've unlocked the BL and flashed the Global Rom, all google services would function normally.
the convert is: you CANNOT re-lock the bootloader (at least as of now)
someone says Gpay won't work with unlocked bl.
personally I don't make any payments with my android so I'm not sure.

Google Pay will NOT work with any phone with unlocked bootloader, there are tweaks to get it working but i haven't tried.
Does google pay work on global version?
Install magisk and gpay will work on unlock BL. Should be common knowledge.

unlock bl but keep full resolution Netflix?

I recently learned that an unlocked bootloader will trigger the Netflix app to only play in standard definition but not HD anymore because of Google Widevine DRM going from L1 to L3 even with Magiskhide. Is there any way around this on the Mi 9?
From my experience the only way is to relock your bootloader! :/

Thanks, for confirming that. I wanted to help my son unlock and root to install the Viper audio mod. But losing resolution on Netflix because of it is a deal breaker for him. Pity!
How do you even get a proper Netflix app, I got Mi9 Transparent edition with unlock BL, but the app says my device is not supported by the app

Have you tried installing the Netflix app from a another source than Google play?
The mi 9 I was asking about has a locked bootloader and Netflix installed from Play store. Given the consequence for the resolution of Netflix playback I won't unlock :-/
Perhaps a silly comment, but has anyone tried rooting and using magisk hide to perhaps allow regular playback? I can't cos 1. The phone hasn't arrived yet and 2. I don't use Netflix! Just came across this thread and wondered if it would make a difference...
I unlocked my Chinese MI 9 and flashed the official Global ROM. Now Netflix doesn't show up in the app store anymore, nor does it run when I install it manually.
As a temporary work around I installed a modified Netflix app that was made to enable HD playback. This works now, but I don't know how long this will last - so I'd be interested in a permanent solution.
Since I went from Chinese to Global I cannot lock the bootloader again or it will brick my phone.
How would Magisk help with solving this problem?
Also, can I install Magisk without TRWP or wiping the device?

If you can provide us the link to your Netflix MOD app it would be great, anyway i think you can go back to chinese to relock your BL, Magisk does nothing, i'm on global rom with magisk no Netflix available

Unlocking the BL without root won't change L1 to L3....! If the device is the Global one...

Yes, it is the global one. I thought the security downgrade was linked to the bootloader. Any way to root without detection??? My objective is to install the audio tuning app viper4android which needs root access.

Wide one is for TV streaming, not for the actual HD playback on the phone I think

If the bootloader is unlocked widevine will be L3. Only relocking, which will remove root and wipe data will give you L1.
Asphalt is just a preinstalled system app, part of the ROM, you can remove.
I have done relocking and dont have prompt on booting.

I'm not sure specifically why but an unlocked bootlader is basically seen as root by apps/a security vulnerability. If you want Netflix to work on an unlocked bootlader you will need to flash Magisk and use the Magisk module called "liboemcryptodisabler" to enable Netflix to work.
Or you just download the apk separately and install that one without magisk.

Question Change MIUI region version and lock bootloader

Hi,
I have a Chinese Mi 11 Ultra. I have used the Mi flash tool to flash the EU based version of the ROM but I did not lock the bootloader. This has brought in some problems, such as GPay not working, which I dont really mind but the Mcdonalds app with the coupons also wont start up.
I am wondering, if I get the EU miui13 fastboot rom (original from Xiaomi), and use the mi flash tool to flash it, can I also lock the bootloader? Will it be fine or will it brick the device?
I believe this answers your question: https://c.mi.com/thread-2584760-1-1.html
The TLDR is you can only lock bootloader in China devices if you flash the China ROM. Some people claim to have successfully flashed China ROMs on Glogal phones and locked the bootloader without any issues but you'd be taking a risk.

do not close bootloader do not do it
you only close bootloader if your in CN version
i had to pay 70 $ to bring my mi 11 ultra from dead, after installing miui 13 EEA version and locked bootloader using flashmiui

Hi, Thanks for the answer. Guess I cant lock the bootloader then. Do you know of anyway to get the services working that require a locked bootloader? Iirc it's to so with safetynet but I cant remember if it was possible to overcome this with magisk. I havent been on the rooting scene for a long time so I didnt follow any updates
