This certification is further divided into three levels, where L3 is the lowest and L1 is the highest. If your device is fully stock, it will have L1 certification which will allow you to stream content in full HD. On the other hand, if the bootloader on your device is unlocked or if it is rooted, it will activate the security flag.
