When I power on the CC with or without the Teensy attached and hold the reset button for more than 1.5 seconds the Red solid light comes on it and it goes to the something has went wrong screen. With the Tennsy attached the orange light comes on right away when power is added and does not flash at any time.

I tried the instructions above without any success, thanks for trying. Has anyone any more ideas what is happening. I have tried this with 3 brand new CC's all SKU: GA3A00030A23 with serials starting with 421.

Starting to pull my hair out with these things as everyone else seems to be getting it working ok. :eek:
[Google Chromecast] equity:
Which .hex file are you using? The instructions say that you should use plusplus_ 12940.hex, but for my new in box device I had to use plusplus_ 16664.hex.
[Google Chromecast] botid:
Hi, i had the same issue. Before going crazy I gave up and updated the device with the last version from Google.

The root procedure for non-new chromecasts worked afterwards.

My intuition was that not all versions sold worldwide are sold with the same firmware version.

Note that I purchased my chromecast on amazon France last week (French box).The serial starts with 4110.

Let me know if it helps.
[Google Chromecast] darkshippo:
I rooted 3 today, 2 brand new oob and one that I have been using. Power up the Teensy and THEN you plug in the Chromecast. Push button once on the CC and then wait for the teensy to flash, when it has gone solid white. Remove the Teensy and stick the flashdrive loaded with flashcast. Press button on CC and then wait until solid white. DONE

I'm guessing I slipped up by being interested in rooting my device moments after I looked up to realize it was finished updating... I have a chromecast running firmware 19084. Am I SOL?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Yep pretty much!
[Google Chromecast] allindaze:
Yay!
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Sorry but you could try and sell the one you have and buy a NIB CCast to rot before it updates this time...

Or find a friend who wants one but doesn't want root and then Swap before he plugs it in and updates.
[Google Chromecast] allindaze:
Thanks. Do you think the refurbished ones would be good for me? Or is it better to go to a B&M that doesn't get s lot of traffic and take my chances grabbing one off the shelf?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I doubt very Highly that any NIB model has an unrootable OS right now....

A refurb might but not a New In Box.

But don't wait too long because no one knows ow much older stock is left on store shelves before they start restocking with new models for X-Mas.
[Google Chromecast] allindaze:
Excellent. TY.
[Google Chromecast] Mad07:
Only for information:

I've buy 2 CC with SN started with 410xxx and 411xxx. On both there was the stock FW 1550xy (didn't remember exact the last digits) but I must use the hex-file plusplus.16664.hex. From what I've read, the hex should be used , if the stock FW is equal 16664 or higher.

Both device are rooted ;)
[Google Chromecast] jocarog:
Just got a refurbished cc thru Groupon and had 098 firmware, I was able to root it finally last night... I don't remember the S/N but that doesn't at this point, it is Rooted!
[Google Chromecast] Nebtastic:
Yep

Yep, you can walk into a store and buy one rootable in the box. I picked up one from Best Buy off the shelf today, and have a rooted one now.

I looked for 3C as the first two characters of the serial number.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Yep but I expect that will change at some point...

Serial number is no longer an issue...doesn't matter just as long as it does not come with an OS version 19xxx or higher.

Root Success

Greetings from Spain.

Just recently bought 2 chromecasts from local major electrical store in Spain both serial numbers starting 4127. Not sure of the stock levels but grabbed 2 as I am sure new stock will be arriving soon. Still about 8 left in store with this serial number.

Disconnected internet access to router by unplugging phone cable at the rear. Plugged CC in TV and used the android CC app to configure initial set up via wifi. Checked firmware on CC's and both showed firmware versions 15908.

Disconnected CC, used the Teensy ++2 board with the plusplus_ 16664.hex. Flashed CC using Hubcap.

Success :) Both perfect no issues whatsoever rooting went like a dream.

First CC- Just before starting the flash I reconnected the internet on the router to view the web page for the tutorial but luckily the flash process had started before my internet had connected otherwise the CC could have detected it and started the OTA firmware update ........ Phew ! didn't think about that at the time. CC not plugged into TV at time of root. Once finished connecting CC to TV and accessing web browser it already showed the firmware version 22062

Second CC - Made sure that the internet was disconnected throughout the process. On connecting the CC to the TV and accessing web browser to confirm root the CC was showing firmware version 17***** but shortly afterwards rebooted and installed the new 22062.

Remember to keep internet disconnected :)

Hello anyone have issues with stock chromecast crashing Google play services and restarting streams? Doesn't happen with Netflix.
[Google Chromecast] rockerdudelive:
no internet connection

After looking I basically want to mirror my screen to my tv. I don't really care about apps on chromecast so I really just want the streaming function. However I would like to know if streaming content on my phone sd card actually takes bandwidth. I don't want someone in the living room that's streaming netflix to be slowed down because I'm streaming from my phone to chromecase. or if the internet goes down but I still have my router working for the network would I still be able to stream movies saved on the phone.

I have a very limited connection and I don't want to be taking up most of the bandwidth for the internet for locally hosted content.

edit: i accidently posted this here rather than the faq thread because I had about 12 tabs open for chromecast, so if there is a more appropriate place to ask I'll delete this and ask elsewhere
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
While it won't take Internet bandwidth for local streaming (beyond what it needs to load the app that's receiving the stream), it will still take WiFi bandwidth, so keep that in mind.

Hey folks,

after more than 3.5 years of maintaining this thread, I'll close it for the time being. It might get a refresh someday just like the LG G3 device index thread, we'll see. All of us were part of the beginning of the affordable streaming devices and it was fun. My Google Chromecast is still doing its job very well :)

Thanks to all members who contributed and developed in the Chromecast world. I for one learned new things and came in touch with really nice people within this device subforum. Hope to see you elsewhere on XDA, you alternatively can drop me a PM :laugh:

Best regards,

Hello all.

I am running into some problem with team win custom recovery. I recently installed the recovery and it was hanging on blue screen. No matter what i would do it wouldn't go in. i then installed clockwork recovery and i show me that i had team win custom recovery twice.

i was wondering if there was a way to erase all the costume recovery and installing one. I think i have installed it too many times and its causing it not to boot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DarqAnshin:
If you want to install Team Win's custom recovery, I suggest going to the app store and getting

GooManager

It connects to the GOO.IM repository and updates pretty regularly. Simply install it, hit menu then install the recovery scripts. That is it. It will update your recovery for you and you will be on your way.

IF you are are looking to use CWM instead of TWRP then I would suggest using the CWM Flash by Crawrj.

I have goo and twrp 2.6.0.0 installed but like the op it hangs on the team win screen a lot and want to downgrade it without messing something up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DarqAnshin:
The team win screen will hang for a bit. I found that if you plug in and give it a minute or two it will boot right in. Once it boots right in, you can typically go to recovery pretty fast. I will be honest I am not sure why it hangs on the very first boot up after install, but hey... I'm not a teamwin member so I can't say exactly what is going on in the background

If it won't boot, try downloading the .md5 tar and flashing through ODIN instead of GOOManager.

[General Questions and Answers] cenp:
Hi,

I've been having problems with this phone, everytime I turn on the data plan it keeps poping up messages that all the process have stopped working so whenever I rebooted this keeps happening.

I tried going into recovery mode (e3) and wiping (factory reset) everything but this doesn't work, everything remains the same,

So I was trying to follow the guide to root it and load cwm recovery (from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1899736) but it is not working.

I installed the drivers and I'm able to see my device in the windows explorer but when I start the runme.bat to root the phone it just throws a bunch of error messages.

So i tried to load the cwm recovery using the flastool and the process completed with no problem (the green circle appeared) but when I turn on the phone it loads the stock e3 recovery mode.

Is my phone broken ? what do you guys suggest I do ?

thanks in advance

I've got the same issue as mentioned in the post before; does the owner found a solution for his issue?

I tried to follow the tutorial on this forum and got the same issue when installing the *. bat file. File runs but won't detect the phone and closes.

Untill now the problem persists; frequent crash and shut down while using (wathever what, phone, internet, apps,..). I have not much experience with smartphones but it seems to me the internal boot is corrupt. Are any possible tpols or hints available or should the item be returned to ACer (when you know their helpdesk and utility service is crap!)

Same problem

Hello,

I had the same problem last year. I couldn't hard reset ( tried the 2 ways: via the settings or via the volum button when you start). It doesn't reset anything. The applications closes by themselves and I cannot do anything.

Last year, I sent the phone under the warranty and they repaired it and sent to me back.

Now I have exactly the same problem but my phone is not under warranty anymore.

Does anyone found a solution ?

Thanks.

Which method did you use to flash it?

Is your battery loaded?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deconectat:
First you need to check if your battery is charged. If you have a friend with s3 mini try to charge your battery in his phone.

If the battery is charged, the phone should boot. The recovery doesn't affect the boot partition. If the phone doesn't boot you probably wrote something not ok in the boot partition. In this case only a JTAG can fix your phone.

When you flash the recovery from Odin the file you want to flash should be in the PDA box. If you put the recovery in the bootloader box, the recovery file will overwrite the bootloader and your phone won't boot any more. Odin doesn't test if the file is ok for that partition. This is called a hardbrick. :(

If you didn't touch the bootloader partition, the phone should boot and you should be able to get it into download mode at least. I don't think there is anything you can put in the PDA box to make your phone not boot.

Thanks for the update. Any idea how OK can get them to honor that price instead of the $20 I already ordered out at?

As far as the cases go I really, really like the one that I have for my nexus 7. I was looking for a defender case but I wasn't about to spend $70 on one. I haven't really been happy with defender cases lately anyways. After buying one for my note 2 I'll never buy one again.

The revolution case is defender like, can be had for less than half the cost and the button press is easy and it feels good in hand. I bought one of the first runs and it had the blurry screen protector. I contacted poetic and they sent me two replacements..... It took a month or so to get them made amnd to me but they made good. While I was waiting I just knocked the one out and installed a stock on one on the screen.

Make sure you removed the plastic protector film on the outside as well as the inside of the built in screen protector.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] memphian:
Much better thank you. It was the inside cover that I didn't know was there. There is some distortion, giving a rainbow like look, but that's something I expect I guess from a screen protector that is not adhesively bonded.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DualSportDad:
That rainbow effect never goes away either. My original nex7 case still has it. It's not bad once the screen turns on.

This case is way better than the original case. only thing I don't like is the horizontal stand, it leans back farther than the original nexus 7 case.

Out of stock :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DualSportDad:
Probably cause now they are going to jack the price up. The case sells for $70 on poetics site. Not really sure what its doing on amazon for $15. Maybe they just wanted to get a few out there and let re iew bit the forums?
