Hi all,

having a little trouble updating to the latest firmware, firstly I read that you have to unroot phone and relock bootloader, I have done this, but I have since lost recovery, I can no longer access recovery, even when using commands sent via the all in one kit, also when I try to do the OTA update it restarts phone and just brings me into bootloader menu,

any help will be much appreciated ,

p.s I have tried RUU etc my phone is locked to 3UK even with the specific RUU I cant get anything going, as it wont accept RUU just brings me straight to bootloader menu. on the plus side the phone is still working, so I know I havnt quite bricked it yet !

regards okz19

*****************88

just to add , I cant even get into recovery via bootloader, when I select recovery it rebbots, says entering recovery in small red writing, then returns to boot loader and adds,

***security warning **** to the list at the top.

heres whats displayed at the top.

***tampered****

***relocked***

Mhm....I think that relocking bootloader wiped all of your data and recovery as well....

Now you have to unlock your ONE again root and flash recovery...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
Did you relock your bootloader with the custom recovery still installed? This would be your problem with ota. It may have something to do with your other problems too.

I believe I did yeah, the instructions I followed never said to restore stock recovery :/ do you have any idea what I should do from here ??
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
Unlock the boot loader again, flash stock recovery, lock bootloader, apply ota.

Or, unlock bootloader again, flash custom recovery, flash custom rom.

Cheers, will give it a try when I get in from work, will let you know how I get on !
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okz19:
Hi I have tried what you have suggested I keep getting the same problem, I have flashed a stock firmware but the custom recovery wont disapper, so when locking the bootloader I loose all access to any recovery , also preventing me from updating,

I have tried flashing stock recovery, once its done I still cant get into recovery just hangs on "entering recovery"

Anybody ?????
[Google Chromecast] choosetoride:
Can I control Chromecast with my phone without a wifi router? I would like to be able to use just a tv, chromecast, and my phone to stream from my phone. Does anyone know if this is possible or if it will be? I tried downloading a rented movie from Google movie and turn the router off at my house. I tried to stream, but it failed for two reasons. Google movies won't let you stream downloaded movies and Chromecast won't work without my router on. Did I do something wrong here or am I missing something? I would prefer to be able to rely on my phone's data and downloaded files. Doesn't anyone think this would be possible with Chromecast? I guess I'm ultimately looking for portability without the internet.
[Google Chromecast] mjones73:
I'm pretty sure your phone/tablet/laptop need to be on the same subnet as the device so it can be found to cast to, hence the need to have everything on the same wifi router.
[Google Chromecast] Jason_V:
I think that you can tether it to your phone. You select which wi-fi network the Chromecast joins using the Chromecast app, so no reason that you couldn't enter your phone's wi-fi network.
[Google Chromecast] DogzOfWar:
I think the salient point from the above answers is that Chromecast seems to need an Internet connection for some things (like youtube). For Web pages the Windows chrome browser sends the content to Chromecast but other times (YouTube) it's pulling content itself from the Internet.

Once Koush's app is out hopefully you'll be able to stream more content right to your phone, so a peer to peer network might work better
[Google Chromecast] FractalSphere:
You could, but remember that Casting from your phone, computer, etc removes that device from being in the middle, and the Chromecast does the heavy lifting of grabbing the requested stream from the internet and playing it on-screen. Your phone's WiFi may be sufficient, but remember you're going to be pulling HD data over the cellular connection, and that'll probably be jerky and buffer a lot. It was neat to cast a netflix item from my phone and turn my phone OFF while it was still playing (and didn't skip a beat) to verify it wasn't using my phone for anything.
[Google Chromecast] choosetoride:
Good point. The handoff is amazing. I just would like the option for when I'm somewhere with no internet. In my opinion, this could be a huge deal breaker for a lot of people. Why make it so small, if it's not meant to be taken everywhere? But, who knows. From my perspective, it goes right back to the DRM issue with Xbox. I buy or rent all of the media I watch, but forcing me to be online anytime I want to view it is just controlling. It removes value.
[Google Chromecast] FractalSphere:
I would tether or use one of those mobile hotspots (I don't have one, but might if I traveled extensively) and stream that way at a hotel or even someone elses house.

Ohh, which begs the question, can the Chromecast store more than one Wifi configuration? I don't think the software can do that at the moment.. Would be VERY convenient to travel to known locations back and forth.

As for direct streaming of local video, i was able to stream MP4 files no problem using a Chrome browser tab. The computer doing the rendering needs to be a higher-end PC, though - right now I have a older 'media PC' set up that my Xbox plays DLNA from and it's just a glorified storage device, it didn't want to render those videos well at all. So if you have a decent laptop, and get Connectify (free PC software that makes your laptop a hotspot) you can stream to the Chromecast directly while out at a remote location. :D
[Google Chromecast] Roberek:
I believe the ad-hoc wireless functionality was only meant to facilitate initial setup, not to be a content streaming solution.

Plus, I doubt your phone would be able to handle the computing stress required to cast content directly to the Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] iTreezy:
I stream HD Netflix from my phone's hotspot, perfect. I play my xbox online with parties using my hotpsot...perfect.

My down speeds are better than most peoples ISP down speeds so I don't see this being an issue.

The Xbox Smartglass app works from my phone while my phone is giving my Xbox internet so I don't see why the Chromecast wouldn't be able to work either.

I emailed Google about this because I honestly don't see the problem.

let me know if you get a reply because i want to do the same thing but apparently this is the reason why it doesn't work

http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...android-phone-hotspot-ap-isolation-issue.html

seems like if you can disable ap isolation then it would fix it but i'm not sure how you'd do that
[Google Chromecast] lovekeiiy:
I tried doing this on my Galaxy Note II (Sprint) using WiFi tether. I was able to get it an IP and connect to the network, but it wasn't pushing the DNS info (ie wasn't getting an internet connection). Unfortunately, WiFi tether can be limited in the it's settings and CC has only a few.

Unfortunately, from what I've seen, you are unable to store multiple networks on the CC. I don't believe it was designed for that much portability. I happen to have a laptop with me and was able to do the setup. Since I wasn't able to get an internet connect, I wasn't able to test if I could cast from the GN2. My expectation is most likely not. But I had a tablet with me too, and would have tested it with that.

As for how it would preform, I assume for Netflix and application with CC extension built in, no problem. Trying to cast a Chrome tab, that could be iffy since it would depend on well WiFi tether can handle the that much traffic and the PC.

I haven't fiddled with it since then. But it's definitely possible with some tweaks.
[Google Chromecast] iTreezy:
I don't think there is a way to disable AP isolation. I'm no network wiz or anything but I rally think it would be an easy update on their side to grant access to using our phones hot spot.

I also noticed that the Chromecast itself generates its own hotspot...I'm assuming to let other devices connect to it and cast to it.

I'm not mad that it doesn't work ($35 isn't a wallet breaker) but I am mad that I jumped the gun and used my 3 months free promo for Netflix =(
[Google Chromecast] iTreezy:
Well, here it is guys

I guess the the next step is for everyone to quote this and spread the word throughout the other posts here at XDA and any other forums related to this topic.
[Google Chromecast] colonelcack:
bull****. they're just too lazy to do it. there has to be some hotspot app that has this feature or some kind of workaround that will be figured out eventually...this was the whole reason i bought the device, this would be the ultimate portable media center. i bet that kouch guy could do it...
[Google Chromecast] iTreezy:
Listen.. I'm with you man. I meant spread the official word of google so we can move on to focusing on developers trying to help us out

lol i know man i wasn't saying bull**** to you just in general. i already linked to this to the other post on androidcentral....hopefully this helps spread the word.

Kinda late to the party here, but just FYI I have my CC tethered to my Sprint SGS4 using the native hotspot app. Did the set up using my N10, using the chromecast app.
[Google Chromecast] varxtis:
Bump - Any new developments?

So, Ive been scouring the internet looking for some sort of simple, portable, wireless method to stream content from my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to a TV... with the most obvious thought of HDMI adapters and dongles. Obviously one of the leading search results and hype is "Chromecast" which led me here. I was hoping I could confirm the following and see if any progress has been made:

1. Can the Chromecast be used to stream content on a mobile device? Or is it still based strictly on app based media?

2. I doubt much progress has been made in this area, so I really doubt "screencasting" from a mobile device (tablet/phone) is possible, especially without internet connection.

3. Can Chromecast be supported by a portable wifi hotspot yet? or is it still strictly dependent on a ISP to router WiFi connection?

4. If Chromecast doesn't do it, then has any one found any devices that allows you to stream your tablet/phone to a tv wirelessly the same way that you can do if you have the MHL to HDMI cables?
[Google Chromecast] wptski:
Read the Stickies first.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
3. As long as your hotspot does not isolates clients or the AP itself, does not block or mangle multicast, and has sufficient bitrate to get the Internet-based media you want, it should work.

4. Wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver, but those cost in the $150+ range for good reason - latency is the biggest enemy. That's why applying the same mechanism that desktop Chrome tab casting won't work. It'll overload the CPU of the phone/tablet with compression and it will still have lag.
[Google Chromecast] varxtis:
Sry, Thanks. Answered all my questions.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Yes but truth is it needs Internet access for everything including the Cast a Tab feature since the apps the CCast loads are stored on the Internet...

Tethering to a phone or Tab will work but AdHoc connection will not.

Netgear push2tv ...That's all you need my friend. Chromecast is nothing next to this. No need for WiFi. I plug it to my projector. No need ac adapter. Plug to projector usb or TV USB and its on. I stream anything on my phone screen to big screen. Anything!!! I have nexus 4 and perfect. Get netgear push2tv. No limitations.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Except that Push2TV is dependent on your device, since it's providing the content.

It's just a different operational model.

In the original poster's case, Push2TV would work since their content is on their phone and they're essentially looking for a wireless HDMI solution (which would also work).
[Google Chromecast] debernardis:
Contrary to what has been said, you CAN control your chromecast without an external router. Most non-google applications, including screen mirroring apps, will work and transmit to the chromecast through the WiFi access point you can enable on most devices (aka tethering).

See my thread in http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/how-to-directly-cast-android-device-t2791313

I could cast local media, YouTube and mirror my screen on TV using 3rd party apps. Google seems to dislike that because their branded apps don't show the chromecast when connected through tethered WiFi.

I think that being free from the need of an external router is great and allows the chromecast to be used anywhere and nomadically, instead of limiting it to a domestic appliance.

Let me know, please, if you can replicate my method, because at present no one seemed to bother to try and report :)
[Google Chromecast] cruckus:
http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/26/ho...-phones-without-using-wifi-ultrasonic-sounds/ this may be what your looking for
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Not sure anyone noticed but at Google I/O they announced a new Proximity Casting feature that will allow friends to stream over their Cell Service to your CCast without needing to be connected to your WiFi.

Details were not clear (or at least I didn't read any) but it seems to work on a Location based PIN security system. CCast displays a pin that you punch in to make the connection.

The CCast of course would still have to be connected to a router for it's Internet connection but you would not need to be connected to that router to communicate with the CCast.

What I'm not sure of is if this connection method will be available for Apps to use or if it is just for casting local device content onto the CCast in the same way Mirroring works.

All of this requires the next GServices update and most likely Android 4.3+
[Google Chromecast] Phyzcal:
The way I do it.

I use my Sprint network hotspot for everything like the OP. I own a Galaxy Note 3, HTC Evo 3D, and a SII. Only the Note 3 has internet but it can still use the hotspot created by one of the other phones if I just want to cast local content from my note 3. If I want to cast netflix or youtube I make the note 3 the hotspot and access the chromecast through one of the other phones. The note 3 has far more than enough processing power to handle anything I've thrown at it and Sprints unlimited 4G is fast enough to stream anything in HD without buffer or stuttering (4 down, 1.5 up, 80 ping). Hell, I even use my hotspot for online PC gaming and download from steam at 1.5mb/s, 70-80 ping is pretty damn good.

edit: All phones are rooted, rom'd and S-Off(htc).

http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/25/ch...d-mirroring-feature-photo-backdrops-and-more/

So, pretty much, looks like problem solved with the latest update to chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I'm not sure about that... Still requires Internet connection and a WiFi network to connect to. If the "not on your WiFi" feature does a WiFi Direct connect that isn't remembered, then maybe, but it might just exchange the existing WiFi authentication. We'll have to wait and see.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Nope it's not a WiFi direct connection from what I read...

I believe it uses a PIN system to determine you are in proximity but the streaming actually happens over Cell Data.

And it may be a Mirror only thing not really a Stream from App application.

We will have to wait and see how it all works.

They said Future I'm not sure that means it is coming anytime soon.
[Google Chromecast] lmgjerstad:
I was able to get this working as follows:

Configure your phone as a wifi hotspot.

Using a second device (another phone, tablet, or chrome browser), configure the chromecast to use the original phone as a wifi network.

Disconnect the second device from the phone (unless you intend to tether it as well).

Now you can control the chromecast from the phone that is acting as a hotspot.

Depending on your tethering plan, you probably want to cast the screen rather than casting an app. This introduces some latency, and requires the phone stay on, but it also means your carrier will see the traffic as coming from your phone rather than from a tethered device.

This method worked on a Nexus 5 running stock android 4.4.4, but it did not work on a Moto X running android 4.4.2 so it's likely a recent development.
[Google Chromecast] debernardis:
Nope, not recent, because works also on 4.1.2 on my device

Just buy a cheapo travel wifi router. Wifi N in your pocket for $25. For $50-$60 you can get a battery powered one. You want one anyway :highfive:
[Google Chromecast] lankyboy29:
Can you please elaborate on how to do this???
[Google Chromecast] mar11974:
I managed to make this work using only my Chromecast and Galaxy S4.

1. Reset Chromecast

2. Setup HotSpot on phone (SSID and Password)

3. Enable WiFi on phone and launch Chromecast App

4. Go through setup of Chromecast using HotSpot Settings as Network

5. Once the Chromecast begins attempting to connect to HotSpot, enable HotSpot on Phone, Phone should report 1 device connected

6. Go to menu on Chromecast App and select Cast Screen, your Chromecast should show up (app will complain no wifi, just cancel to get to the Cast Screen option)

7. Once your phones screen is showing on TV you can use the Chromecast enabled apps or just Cast Screen.

Note: The settings are not saved in the Chromecast and steps 3 - 6 will have to be repeated each time (the Chromecast setup is not being finallized using a traditional network).
[Google Chromecast] lankyboy29:
Ok but for step 5 I can't run WiFi ap while WiFi is running or vice versa. When I try to turn on my ap the chromecast app sences it and stops saying "WiFi has been disconnected". R u able to run WiFi and tether at the same time?
[Google Chromecast] mar11974:
Hotspot will disable WiFi, that is why I said the Chromecast app will popup no WiFi, just press Cancel and go to the menu and select Cast Screen.

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 AM ----------

Apparently once the Chromecast connects to the Hotspot you can just launch a Chromecast enabled app and use it through the Chromecast. The Chromecast App complains about "No WiFi", but YouTube and Cast Screen doesn't care.
[Google Chromecast] lankyboy29:
Well idk what's wrong because I can cast YouTube from phone but no cast button from menu. Chromecast app 1.7.4
[Google Chromecast] mar11974:
Cast Screen option is in beta and only on certain devices.
[Google Chromecast] kuitsu:
Big thanks for these instructions. Works nicely.

This is exactly what I have tried to achieve to cast phone's screen to hotel's tv while travelling without depending on second android device or hotel wifi.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Like mar11974 already mentioned Chromecast supports screen casting only in small set of devices at a moment. If you have rooted your phone you can try instructions in http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193. They enable screencast option of Chromecast in any device. It then depends on device and rom how well screen cast works if it works at all.
[Google Chromecast] lankyboy29:
Works^
[Google Chromecast] Justintoxicated:
I can't quite get this to work.

When I set the chromecast to connect to the mobile hotspot, I can quickly enable the hotspot. I get the error on the phones app that an error occured, but then after a couple seconds I do see the "device connected" on my phone's mobile hotspot.

The chromecast screen on the TV will say that it is attempting to connect to the the network at the top. (but will show it as connected in the bottom left)

I can then go back to the start screen in the chromecast app, and enable screen casting and bam it shows up on the TV!

Then after about a minute, the chromecast tv goes back to the default chromecast initial setup screen. And Amazon prime continues playing the video on my phone. I believe it resets to the configuration screen because it gives up trying to connect to the network (Even though it must already be connected lol).

So I think I can now watch prime from my phone, but it will still require a second device for the initial hotspot connection. It only seems to get rid of the "attempting to connect" message when I use another device to connect it to my phones hotspot.

I will try using a second device when I get home tonight. It would be nice to be able to watch amazon prime one way or another, and neither my old Moto razr maxx or nook HD+ seem to support screen casting, even with the hack. I bought this for camping in a trailer without realizing I would need 2 phones, or my current phone and a tablet to control it. Quite a bummer when I first tried to use this device. Especially since I have to controll it from my older android phone which is crazy slow or my tablet, of which neither support screen casting (phone because it is locked on an older version of android), tablet because some file is missing from the PAC MAN rom (maybe there is a rom for the nook HD+ that will allow casting, I don't know)
[Google Chromecast] Justintoxicated:
Sp I'm thinking to ditch this thing for the amazon firetv stick?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
The behavior you describe will happen if the network connection for either device is weak or cannot sustain the screen casting load.

Wanting to Use Chromecast with Samgung Note 3 and no wifi

Want to know if you are streaming using the phones data or having to use the hotpot. If you are using the hotspot(tether) is there a direct link work around? I live in rural area with satellite internet and high cost for the low amount of data. I have an unlimited phone plan but only 5GB hotspot. Thanks!

I
[Google Chromecast] Xenosis:
If you are using chromecast screen mirroring (cast screen tab) then it uses the phone's data connection however you still need to have a hotspot enabled for the chromecast to connect to the phone. It won't count towards any hotspot quota but will count towards any phone data plan quota.

run your Google Chromecast without wifi

Run your Google Chromecast without wifi

Yes this is 100% true

You can play your chromcast without any wi fi hotspot networks ;run HD video, 3D games, mp3, Internet many more (approximate 99.99%)

First please follow these simple steps :-

1 . install chromcast app in 2 android device (smartphone etc. )

2. Make device 1 as a hot spot with password (but first time Internet required )

3 . open chromcast app in 2nd device

4.its taken several minutes

5 . after making all set up

6.cast your big screen

7.but there is processing and playing speed is too slow

8. Then now is action time✌✌✌✌disconnect your 1st android device; and open chromcast app in 1st device, connect -- and-- cast your screen without Internet and wifi,it's running smoothly and all in HD Quality.

Not:------- mostly smartphone have """""Screen Mirroring """"" software; if this software specification is not available in your smartphone, please try to get it.

I am using this time samsung galaxy s4 GT i9500.
