[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bennyc1213:
Hello all,

I got my Galaxy SIII working nicely so far with the firmware 4.1.1, rooted and tethering ok. I really don't have the motivation to update. And one of my co-worker has the pretty much same situation with me, but his phone is bricked while update, which scare me even more. (Good that AT&T send him another one because the issue was cause my AT&T's update) So, now my phone is buzzing me to update, and I can only postpone it so far. Is there anyway that I can simply turn-off the AT&T Software Update prompt?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
You can use the paid version of Titanium Backup to freeze the update. Aside from that, the update bricking the phone sounds to be a random event. Either it was a bad download or he already had faulty hardware. If you are under warranty and go about the update correctly, you could warranty the phone if you had the unfortunate brick occur (which is highly unlikely).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalyan_121:
Hii guys and girls, i am using the s3 international which recently had its internal storage almost full. so i downloaded a zip file called zoot's wipe scripts and wiped it. it worked fine

after that i flashed 4.3 crdroid which started giving me random reboots so i wanted the stock back..i thought it was some rom bug.

So i jumped back to 4.1.2 omega rom v48 version...the random reboot problem now is more than it was in 4.3

Using the phenominal kernal(Medium) with v48. i flashed the 43.5v of omega and still have the same problem...and now the battery drain too high coz of the reboots.. the phone lags a lot now. YES I DO A FULL WIPE ALL THE TIME!

So if any of you have any solution to this problem..please help me.

P.s Sorry if my english is bad.

Thanks in advance

If I factory reset my chromecast with this firmware will it upgrade or keep this firmware?
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
A factory reset will just wipe the data partition, so the device will still be safe from self-upgrading.
[Google Chromecast] twist:
This is great man, I just got my cable today and my chromecast a couple days ago, I refrained from plugging it in, so unless its been updated already it should be on!

So do I need to flash the original GTVHacker bin and then your 12940 bin?

Thanks for the great work and thanks to GTVHackers and XDA.
[Google Chromecast] tvall:
You can just flash mine
[Google Chromecast] Wisiwyg:
Flash tvall's image if you don't want it to auto-update and loose root..
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
So we only need to flash one of these two images, correct? I'm assuming it's the first one, right? "gtvhacker-chromecast-12940.bin.gz" is tvall's image that we need to flash? After flashing that image, we'll be rooted, on the most current version, AND auto-updates will be disabled?
[Google Chromecast] tvall:
Correct
[Google Chromecast] dmcccdmn:
It is my understanding that one of Google's OTA's blocks local files streaming like Fling. Does your image contain the update that broke Fling?
[Google Chromecast] deepdespair:
IIRC, it wasn't an OTA update that broke Fling. Google made some changes server-side that broke it. The ChromeCast connects to Google servers (or 'phones home') during use. The developer of Fling used unsupported API calls in the app, which was built using the preview SDK. Google's updates invalidated those calls, essentially rendering the app useless. Google has stated that the breaking of local media casting was unintentional, and they do plan on allowing support in the future. At the moment, the ChromeCast can still be considered a device in testing. I don't think the official SDK is out yet.
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
AirCast was "reverse engineered" though, right? So if it didn't have that "time bomb" in it, it should still work, right?
[Google Chromecast] HowardZ:
Aircast is dead. Fling is dead. Rooting does not help. These are dead until some day Google decides to allow it. Google allows only a few apps : Netflix, YouTube, and Google provided content. Google could have decided that allcast and fling were so popular that permitting it like Netflix is permitted will increase sales. Google could have decided to permit allcast and fling, but decided against it.

So, you might have purchased the chromecast after reading about allcast as I did, and am disappointed with having purchased a device whose very few apps are uninteresting to me.

There are only a few choices :

1. Wait and hope google will permit allcast and Fling in the future.

2. Wait and see if developers will provide this functionality for rooted devices.

3. Sell the chromecast to someone who loves Netflix and netflix alone - who isn't interested in connectivity to the many other Internet content providers - like one has access to via Roku.

Actually, stores have many devices, either standalone or built into blu ray players which provides Netflix along with far more choices for Internet provided media. Google's chromecast looks very inferior to me.

In its current form, chromecast is probably a big disappointment to most people who have purchased it. The only hope is that it will become something better in the future - either directly from Google, or via developers.

At this time, rooting gets us nothing, except hope.

[Google Chromecast] dmcccdmn:
That's very odd. I didn't think that Fling would need to connect to Google servers in order to function. Shouldn't everything just work locally? If I unhook my cable modem and leave my router on, wouldn't Fling still function without the internet?

[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Sounds good, I know back in the original thread GTVHacker posted what needs to be modified in the kernel to mount the partitions in R/W, but you probably knew that :P

About to test-flash on my devcast (thats its new official name), will report back results.

EDIT:

Seems to flash, and boot successfully. Currently having issues getting it connect to WiFi, even though its ad-hoc mode seems to work just fine for setup. It can connect to my network, but not to the web. My other chromecast, running the 12940 root image, has no issues. Will keep trying.

EDIT2:

No luck with getting it to connect to the internet, reverted back to the latest build, and wifi connected right away. Anyone else willing to test this image?
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
I just successfully flashed your 12940 rooted image this past weekend and everything is working great thus far...since i'm already rooted, do I still follow the same instructions that I used from the gtvhacker site if I wanna flash this new version? After flashing your disabled-ota-updating rooted image, everything is working just as it's supposed to, but instead of the Chromecast app displaying the new build# of "12940," it displays "12072" still. I've read a little about how people are still seeing it display as 12072, even after flashing your 12940 image and it's my understanding that that's normal...? Will this new 13300 rooted image of yours also display "12072" or should we expect to see something different when checking the build # from within the Chromecast app? ...ie. we flash this 13300 image "successfully", open the Chromecast app and check the build # and what SHOULD it display? "12072" still? "12940" ? "13300" ? I just want to know what I should expect to see, just so IFFFF I see something other than "12072," I'll not flip out... lol It's my understanding that the build# is basically a reference to whichever kernel is present and running on the Chromecast, correct? And from what I've read here in the past few weeks and from the looks of what you just posted, we're still on the 12072 kernel...right? ....at least until you finish the new kernel, then we'll see it display something other than "12072" ...?

Hmmmm....I'm rooted on tvall's 12940 disabled-ota-updating image and I was half-way debating giving this a try until I just read what you experienced. I'm wayyyyy toooooo paranoid of a person to take that kinda risk because I have NOOOOO IDEA how to flash backwards to a previous version. Please...enlighten me and tell me how we do such a thing without screwing everything up. lol
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
1. Yes, you follow the same flashing process.

2. Yes, all root images will show as 12072 (including this 13300 one) because the build.prop file is in the kernel, and we do not have the ability to flash a new one YET.

3. To flash back a version, just use the same process you used to root the device, but with the older file.
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
ok, cool...thanks man! that's kinda what I figured anyway. I just needed a little confirmation! ;)

--And just a suggestion for tvall....I think it would be an awesome idea if you could somehow change what you have "/chrome/update_engine" currently displaying....don't get me wrong. I think that's pretty funny how you have it right now, but for the people out there, MYSELF INCLUDED lol, that are kinda skiddish and leary about rooting this thing, you should add an extra little tidbit in there letting the user know that they are successfully rooted. Maybe also displaying the build# in there somewhere as well... This is just my 2 cents, but I think it sure would ease a lot of people's minds about rooting if they could just see some kind of "confirmation" of being rooted and the current build# displayed on-screen. Just an idea...

I having the same issue with no Internet connection when testing the 13300 no-ota build.

Are you using a new way to enable telnet in the gtvhacker-chromecast-13300.bin.gz build?
[Google Chromecast] tvall:
There is nothing different about how I made the 13300 image. It has a script in clear_crash_counter to start telnet. Busybox and xbin added. And update_engine was replaced with a scrtipt that just says stuff.

Also, the update_engine script is different in each image I've made. You can use that as a reference to which build you're on.

I would assume the broken wifi has to do with the new kernel. I'll see what I can do, but I may just have to go ahead and finish that new kernel.
[Google Chromecast] ften:
I ask because when I tried to telnet into the chromecast it didn't work, even though it was connected to my network and pingable and when I dumped your system image it looked like the clear_crash_counter was missing.
[Google Chromecast] tvall:
Then it is possible I may have missed one of the only two things I do to the images. I'll check soon and upload again tonight if that's the case

Anyone help walk me through the root process? I have the chromecast the OTG cable and the file here 12940 downloaded. I am having trouble using the command prompt window ot get the file to my usb drive. gives me errors.
[Google Chromecast] twist:
The 12 steps on how I flash the ROM on Windows 8.1, should also work fine on ANY version of Windows.

1. Download win32diskimager: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ and extract the archive somewhere.

2. Download the newest rooted OTA disabled image and extract somewhere.

3. Put your USB drive into your PC and check which drive letter it is using (go to My Computer or however you prefer).

4. Launch win32diskimager (right click and run as administrator on anything higher then Windows XP).

5. Select the drive letter of your USB flash drive on the right hand side, make sure you double check this or you can force wipe another drive on your PC.

6. Click the little blue folder right next to the drive letter on the left and navigate to where you extracted the image.

7. In the drop down at the bottom where it says "files of type" change it from *.img to *.* and select the file gtvhacker-chromecast.bin inside of the gtvhacker-chromecast-12940.bin folder wherever you extracted it and click write.

8. Once it is done use the powered OTG cable to plug it all together and plug the usb into the tv but not into the chromecast yet

9. Plug the chromecast into the HDMI and hold down the power button on the chromecast and then plug the USB into the chromecast, while still holding the power down.

10. Continue holding the power and the unit should boot up and you will see loading on the screen and the USB will flash, once it is done (only takes about a min or less) it will reboot.

11. Once it reboots unplug the powered OTG contraption and hook up the chromecast normally.

12. To verify the image flashed correctly. Once you have setup the chromecast check the IP address which will be something like 192.168.1.x (depending on your network settings) and try to telnet to that IP from a command prompt: Example "telnet 192.168.1.22", if it drops you to a # prompt your good to go.

There may be other ways of verifying root and you may not have to hold down the power button during the entire flash, but I do it this way (on 3 Chromecasts now) and it works great.

If it gets stuck on the loading screen, go ahead and repeat the process. I have had to do it a couple times before it stuck on 2 of the Chromecasts.
[Google Chromecast] doctordroid:
Thank you very much for the help. I did as you said but it gets stuck at starting chrome cast the lights will blink then it will

reboot. I let it do this a few times but nothing changes. When should I let go of the power button? I wonder if I am boot looping? Hmmm. Thanks.
[Google Chromecast] kozmo2k4:
Great Guide [MENTION=283410]twist[/MENTION].

That post should be a Sticky!
[Google Chromecast] twist:
As soon as it is done flashing and the light on the USB stops flashing and the unit reboots just unplug it and then remove the USB OTG cable and then plug it back up to the TV like normal. I believe if you hold the power down when the second reboot starts, it begins to flash it again and if you let go when it just starts then you get stuck on the loading screen, this same scenario happened last night and I just started over from the beginning and made sure to let go of the power and disconnect right when it finishes its first flash and it was good.

I also had this happen once with another USB flash drive, so you can also try using another USB as well.

Let us know if you get past it!
