Root is coming soon to Chromecast

[Google Chromecast] ianandamy:
I hope they can get it running on the q an get the q back working
[Google Chromecast] stayRooted:
Nice
[Google Chromecast] cammykool:
I wonder how they plan on rooting as it does not run android and the usb port carries no data
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
Root isn't specific to android but I'm not sure how the actual process will work... I'd imagine it requires a jtag.
[Google Chromecast] ften:
GTVHackers are saying it is Android.

http://gtvhacker.com/index.php/Google_Chromecast#Software
[Google Chromecast] cammykool:
i sure hope it doesnt require a jtag no way in hell im taking mine apart.
[Google Chromecast] hajj_3:
connecting a jtag port isn't difficult, the chromecast is only $35 too if something goes wrong. I'm hoping that the usb can function as a usb hub if it is hacked via jtag, if so then maybe we'll get a proper android rom and maybe a linux distribution.
[Google Chromecast] cammykool:
would you hook it up to those UART pins?
[Google Chromecast] tvall:
that's what I would guess first. But gtvhacker said only the bootloader outputs to it briefly.
[Google Chromecast] thatbigmoose:
Runs android..

So if it has the NDK we can run the XBMC app and still have the chrome cast system run in the background and have the best of both worlds. Awesomesauce.
[Google Chromecast] TabGuy:
It makes sense that it runs Android, it's a real OS that can run apps unlike Chrome OS. However, it would not make sense to call it Android as Android is a religion that is polarizing. No diehard Apple fan or even casual iPhone user would be caught dead with an Android device.

Chrome, on the other hand, is agnostic and works across platforms.

The name choice was political.
[Google Chromecast] frmorrison:
Chrome OS as found on a Chromebook has a few apps like a video player, they are mostly offline versions of webapps, but still standalone apps.
[Google Chromecast] tvall:
Define app.

I have a rdp app on my chromebook that I can use on networks without internet perfectly fine. My text editing app works smoothly even without network. The ssh client works well too.

And, unlike android, with dev mode enabled I can run any gnu/Linux app I want without installing a second os in a chroot.

I personally prefer chrome os over android. Having a real Linux os tends to come in handy.

you just got the wrong guy worked up bro.

bootloader exploited
[Google Chromecast] tvall:
So apparently the os is based on android, but with dalvik and everything else replaced by a chrome binary.

So, its android, but its not android at all (no android app will ever run on it without replacing the os with android)

[Google Chromecast] o`bob:
Is that like bragging rights but with more ceremony?
[Google Chromecast] paperWastage:
you get to enable SSH access

which means you could put your own binaries and run them as a service

(example: upload a version of UPnP/DLNA media servers from below that can run on ARM v7, run them as a service, so now it's a standalone media player as well (if you can figure out how to control it) )

in the post they mention a powered mini usb cable, shouldn't it be a powered micro usb cable, also can someone point me to one on ebay?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JGLChilly:
I bought mine with price matching at BestBuy this afternoon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Philosophre:
same. did they give you a spiel about this is an exception. that they don't normally pricematch a coupon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jayochs:
YES! they refused to do it for me, and I even called afterwards and even though their site says they'll price match within the fifteen days, the guy refused to over the phone telling me that the site is obviously wrong bc they only price match at time of purchase. I was like k sure.. I'll call back tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hyperxguy:
I ordered&picked-up then found out staples has the coupon. So I call bestbuy customer service (twice) to get a price adjustments

(also chatted once online). Got a woman then a young guy. Both sounded very rude and unprofessional, eventhough I knew enough

to talk nicely (when I need something done for me).

Sound like they don't get paid well enough to care, just getting thru the day to get paid.

I was about to get to the store and try a return/re-buy. But then staples sent me a shipping confirmation.

So that would be good 'cause I ain't want to deal with bestbuy anymore. I actually hope they improve to survive so I can have

more places to shop.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mi7chy:
Can't fault Best Buy because Staples made a mistake by not excluding the Nexus 7 2013 and probably losing money on each with coupon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] OJ in Compton:
I typically don't let myself get upset if things like this don't work because this IMO staples coupon situation is technically in the same realm as a price error - as mii7chy said, they probably lose money on each tablet sold with this coupon especially considering this is a brand new item.

Consider yourself lucky that you at least got an order through staples with the discount, there are plenty that didn't!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] FormeriPhoney:
Squeezed my order yesterday just before they ran out of stock. I was afraid I was gonna get a cancel order but, shipping this morning :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KRUSH101:
Staples refused to honor the coupon in their store. Manager said corporate sent a message out that stores can't honor the $30 discount for any nexus 7. That is BS!

I went to best buy to price match and the guy said they have been doing that all day. When he asked his supervisor to get me a nexus 7 the guy said they don't price match that offer anymore because staples refuses to honor it. This all bs!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] slick_rick:
Manager at my Staples honored it. Guess it just depends.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] suprmallet:
Is Best Buy still price matching today?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KRUSH101:
Call your local best buy and ask first. Apparently some still are, but a lot aren't.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Jsarge45:
Best Buy wouldnt honor unless staples had inventory in my case of the 32 which they didnt. if i had 16 they would of. i went to staples to buy the 16 with coupon and the then sell the 32 but staples said the coupon excludes the new nexus 7 via few hours AGO.

oh well.. still have my 32
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jamexman:
Same here. Depends on the store-employee. First staples I went douche kid would not take it. Went to another one and lady took coupon no questions asked. Also their website said out of stock but both stores had them (Salt lake city).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Edward Zhong:
It sells pretty fast here, I bought it and the next day I log on their website, it's out of stock already...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] FormeriPhoney:
Yay
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] eep2378:
I got the last 16gb at my local staples. They did honor the coupon(on Sunday). $199 for the new N7 is a deal I couldn't pass up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepstriker:
i flashed Omega 4.2.2 rom on my i9300 but no mobile network. however, I flashed the same omega rom before and it could connect to mobile network!

my phone is hong kong version. I tried to flash back to official 4.1.2 but the problem is still there.

I've tick the "mobile data" button and check the settings of APN, all things done but still no mobile network.....

Please anyone can help me solve the problem? does the baseband not match with the network service provider or is EFS damaged?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilnat:
This happened to me once. I had to call my mobile network operator and they sent message to set up mobile data.

I don't think not matching baseband is a cause of this problem. I hope this help you :)

[General Questions and Answers] bluesea8:
I have a Coby Kryos Android tablet model MID8127. The OS is Android 2.3. I got it as a retirement present from the company I worked for. It has been working fine for over a year now. Then one day it wouldn't go past the startup screen. When you turn it on the word Coby appears, then goes out. A few seconds later the word Android appears. A white streak goes across it 3 times. It goes out and immediately comes back on, the white streak goes across it again, it goes out again, and just keeps repeating this sequence. It can't be turned off. You just have to let the battery go dead. I tried resetting, also tried holding the menu button, volume up button, and then the power button with no luck. Any ideas on what else I can try. I am a newbee with Android, I know very little about the system.

It works fine on my Xperia SL for one day, then it showed some problems with image quality. Specifically, the photo is under-exposed in some cases (even if I use the flash still does not solve the problem), while the integrated camera software produced better photo.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jayochs:
is it always on by default or is there a setting for it? I don't notice anything different really.. except the speakers blow the original nexus 7 away lol but yeah.. doesn't sound surround or anything even with headphones on?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] michaelg1030:
It is def on. I noticed surround sound when I was showing me son the Madagascar trailer. Different sounds were coming out from each speaker. Try watching the Madagascar video. Its in the movies play store.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jayochs:
different sounds in each speaker is just stereo, which is what these are.. they say there's simulated surround sound though. that's what I don't notice

sweet! thanks! that's cool haha
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ecmslee:
I did some of my own tests with the new virtual surround sound (hereafter referred to as Cingo) and I figured it would help some others if I shared my findings-

1.a. Cingo currently only works from within the Play Movies app. Playing videos with YouTube/MXPlayer/etc. will not enable virtual surround.

b.i. Cingo can be enabled for your own videos by selecting "Personal videos" from the menu in the Play Movies app and selecting your video file. Select the stock video player app to play the file.

b.ii. Opening the stock video player from outside Play Movies will not enable Cingo. Cingo will only be enabled after following the steps outlined in b.i.

2. Virtualized surround will only work with discrete surround tracks; matrixed audio (e.g., Pro Logic) will not be decoded into surround channels.

So for encoding your own videos, you'll want to stick with mp4 container for compatibility with the stock video player. Some of the literature I read seemed to suggest that HE-AAC is required but, LC-AAC works just fine. H.264 High Profile L4.1 seems like a good encode level for the Nexus 7. L5.0 is just a bit too demanding, I experienced frame drops at that level.

The surround effect is noticeable when playing through the speakers but where it really shines is when listening with headphones. I tried watching some FPS gameplay (BF3) captured in surround and also the lobby scene from The Matrix and came away fairly impressed.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ATGAdmin:
I'm NOT responsible if you bork your tablet because you can't follow simple instructions!​

I've just made a simple batch file with adb, and the recovery file all in one zip for y'all. ;)

Make sure you've unlocked your bootloader by following instructions HERE

1) Download Chainfires latest root and copy to Your Internal SD card on your tablet

2) Download and install DRIVERS

3) Download and extract nexus7_2013_recovery_A+.zip to a folder on your PC.

4) Open folder where you extranted nexus7_2013_recovery.zip

5) Make sure your tablet is powered on, and connected to the PC, then click on "Nexus7.bat" and follow instructions. (If your PC is installing drivers once it boots into fastboot, WAIT until the drivers are installed before clicking next!)

6) Be ready and hold volume up as the tablet will restart automatically, keep holding volume up until you reach the TWRP screen

7) Once in TWRP flash SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip

8) when you reboot Superuser will be updated automatically by the Play Store

Enjoy!

BIG thanks to Chainfire for his root, and team win recovery project for their fast work on the recovery!

07/30/13 Updated SuperSu link to latest revision (ver 1.51).

07/29/13 Updated SuperSu link to latest revision (ver 1.50).

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Ravynmagi:
I got through the first 5 steps. However the tablet rebooted to the OS. At step 6 how do you reboot into recovery?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ATGAdmin:
ADB reboot recovery ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] evodon84:
Thank you very much for this, worked for me on the second try. Might I be so bold to suggest these changes to your steps to make them more clear? If not I will edit my post.

Edit - Didn't see you had a video. It didn't boot me into fastboot. I'm sure I did something wrong. Thanks again!!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ATGAdmin:
Umm thanks, but the bat file boots you into fastboot...watch the video ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] greenmky:
When you say copy chainfire's SU to the SD CARD you mean to the root of the directory you get when you connect via MTP, right? Where the Alarms/Download/Movies/Music etc directories are, right?

I see this syntax used a lot "copy to SD card" when there's not really an SD card, so it's a bit confusing (not just here). Especially since there's no obvious SDcard directory exposed when you connect via MTP to a PC.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] evodon84:
Yes, you may want to create a folder in there for organizing all your flashable zips
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ATGAdmin:
Yes, your INTERNAL SD CARD ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] greenmky:
Thanks guys, I haven't done much rooting / flashing with devices without SD cards before. I used the Nexus 7 toolkit to root the old Nexus 7. Everything I rooted before that had a real SD card to dump zips on - wanted to make sure where TWRP could access.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Ravynmagi:
Looks like I'm still stuck at step 6. After running ADB reboot recovery, the tablet reboots and I see the dead Android with the red triangle. So I'm guessing Recovery didn't get flashed right.

So I rebooted it again. Ran the Nexus7.bat. It boots to Fastboot okay, and seems to be successfully after pressing enter a couple times. But ADB reboot recovery results in the red triangle again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ATGAdmin:
I'm ammending the video now to reflect your suggestion about booting right into recovery afterwards...thank you ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ATGAdmin:
What error message are you getting at the end of the flash, or does it say success...watch the screen as it's flashing.

I just ammended the video, follow along ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] evodon84:
Try going directly into recovery right after the batch file finished and restarts your device. I had the same problem if I let my device boot and then reboot into recovery.

Cool, glad I could be of some small assistance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] greenmky:
Rooted just fine, thanks! :) Saved me typing some adb commands and such. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Ravynmagi:
Yes, that was the problem. I started doing the steps manually and instead of letting it reboot after flashing the recovery.img, I went straight to Recovery from Fastboot and it worked fine. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Landara:
I dont know what happened but this did not work, I can still boot my device, but now I have no recovery installed. If I attempt to boot into recovery, i get the red triangle underneath it says *No command* I have tried to research the problem here but no luck in getting TWRP to flash.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] samg77:
Just curious why was this moved out of development? I'm glad I caught it yesterday before it was moved. All the past android devices I've owned have had their root instructions under a development forum here on XDA. I would have assumed since this device was so new the root instructions where not available yet. I admit it would have been my fault for not searching but as I said the precedence has been search the development forum for root guide. Just a thought, I know you moderators are obviously forum gurus..but I think a good portion of the community is used to finding them their. Even the OP thought it was the proper location.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] samg77:
Well honestly I posted the question mainly to have an intellectual conversion regarding allowing this to be in development until a alternate root method is posted.I mean I am not an android developer but I am a systems engineer for twenty years (by this I'm just simply pointing out I am of above average technical skill) and simply because I've always my root method for the past ...I'd estimate about a dozen android models I've rooted found root under development. So some others might miss it too

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ATGAdmin:
Sometimes you need to reboot your PC after installing the drivers.

I'm on Win7 64, and it worked perfect for me, unless the video is simply pure "magic" lol ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aiiee:
OK, that worked to an extent. Now it is stuck on the "X" when I reboot. ? Or is it supposed to take a lot longer now than it used to? And no one is questioning whether or not you did it on the video. How is that relevant to my situation now?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] CiViCKiDD:
I used this method but don't see SuperSU in the list of installed apps? CPU-Z also says "no" by the 'rooted?' column however if I try to install a signed app it lets me do so without issues.

When I go to terminal I can't even find su (or run it, but initially I thought the installed path wasn't an environment variable).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ATGAdmin:
My guess is that you didn't follow directions completely, and flash the zip file with TWRP at the end. Watch the video. ;)
