Does anyone have a froyo kernel file with signed so that I can install it from Stock Recovery. Because every time I am going to install it , it checks for signature verification and installation aborted. And I cant go to the custom recovery because it wont even open.

If anyone have the file them please give me the link.

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roddem:
Hey guys

The day was not going good since the beginning and got worse by the end when I lost the display and screen of my beloved nexus 4.

The display turns on but the touch is not working at all. Rest the glass of course is broken.

I am posting a picture of the phone as well.please advise me from where I should purchase the display and what is the cost. Another question . Is the bezel attached to the display ? Will it be replaced as well(getting greedy;) )

Anddd if the display is expensive , we have a date for the nexus 5 as well. Any clues on its pricing?

Thanks a bunch guys

Custom Boot Animation: https://mega.co.nz/#!lY8GmQiZ!ORKufk5pGXyj4uhx0xGtD3wi2BtiZZEMmOPDiYlxNTE

(This is NOT a full ROM, so this must be flashed over the firmware. If you are on version 1.1, this will not change anything. Use this to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 without doing a factory reset)

Expect some cool new features to show up in the next release, which will be when the new OTA hits. I'm talking SSH, DHCP DNS, and some other secret goodies. :D
[Google Chromecast] tvall:
Great work! Now I can stop screwing with a device I don't own.
[Google Chromecast] doctordroid:
I tried the above steps... I had a white light then it rebooted and gave me a red light. I proceeded anyways and threw the eureka file on the drive and then held that little button down FOREVER! it was white the whole time... it then tried rebooting but no image came up. I released the button and waited... just a white light and a black screen. I yanked everything and tried just firing it up like normal... it never shows starting chromecast it just is a black screen....

(So I had your instruction page up on my TV screen but after the reboot nothing came up it was just black with a white light) and then i tried a normal boot... nothing happens. i get no starting chromecast...

any thoughts?
[Google Chromecast] tchebb:
You don't need to hold the button down the entire time (although it shouldn't hurt). You should only need to hold it for about 5 seconds after you connect the power for the Chromecast to boot off USB. It sounds like you're doing everything correctly, but not waiting long enough for the image to flash. If you see both the instructions screen and a white light, FlashCast is in the middle of flashing. Unless the light turns red, it will automatically reboot when it's done.
[Google Chromecast] doctordroid:
I did a second time and it now showed starting chromecast but never booted up. So this time I am doing it over and I let go the light is white... When will I know it is all done flashing??? Won't the light always stay white? I am waiting for a reboot shoudl I just let it do its thing and it will automatically reboot and start up normally if all went well or do I need to disconnect the OTG cable?
[Google Chromecast] Gwanatu:
Just got a Chromecast so pardon the super noob question. If the Chromecast updates itself automatically to the newest update, will I still be able to flash this? Thanks!
[Google Chromecast] tchebb:
Yes, just wait for it to reboot on its own. It will boot into the normal image unless you hold the button, so it doesn't matter whether or not you have the OTG cable connected.
[Google Chromecast] doctordroid:
its working!!!! its working!!!!!!!:good::good::good::good::good::good:

[Google Chromecast] SOHKis:
flashed over fine here, setting it up now. thanks! :good:

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure if you've received an update you won't be able to flash (unless a new exploit has been found).
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Any chromecast that has been updated with any official OTA will be unable to use this. All of our current root methods require the insecure bootloader, which came stock with the chromecast. any OTA would have updated, and secured the bootloader.
[Google Chromecast] Hulkanator:
when reading the instructions it says to copy the eureka.zip file to the usb and install to the chromecast. my light stays red and wont install.the link to flash cast shows copy the file with win32disk imager in the .bin file format. eureka.zip is about 85 megs and flashcast.bin is about 20 megs.

what am i missing? i thought that you can only install in a .bin format.help please.thank you.

am i supposed to use win32disk imager with flashcast.bin then eureka.zip?
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
First you win32disk the FlashCast.bin from the other thread, and then boot it on the chromecast as is. You do this to install FlashCast to the drive. After a bit, the chromecast should reboot. Once it does, take the jump drive, plug it into a PC, and then put the eureka_image.zip on the jumpdrive. Now boot the jumpdrive on the chromecast again, and it will install the ROM.

tl;dr Read this thread, and the FlashCast thread fully.
[Google Chromecast] morchu:
rooted 13300 via OTA

I was wondering what is blocking us from doing a DNS hijack and do the same rooted image update via OTA method?

The below thread mentions about the OTA request response:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450120

So can't the response be hijacked from a local webserver and serve the rooted image as update?

-morchu
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
All official OTA updates are signed by google, so any modified zip's would fail to flash once loaded into recovery. They also check the firmwares build date to make sure no one downgrades.
[Google Chromecast] morchu:
Thanks. Obviously !!!

Forgot the fact that google want this to be closed system.

So I believe it is only authentican enabled at this point. Possibly the images may become encrypted in future, if google want to keep it closed.
[Google Chromecast] raydekok:
i'm hoping on one of those smart kids out here who find a way to flash the last 13300 build.
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Unless we find a way around the bootloader, flashing won't be happening any time soon. Root shell access may be possible though.
[Google Chromecast] raydekok:
Ok ok tell me how. I Will wait and see

[Google Chromecast] kozmo2k4:
First of all, thank you, [MENTION=2212097]ddggttff3[/MENTION], for all the work you, and all other devs, are putting into this device.

Got this flashed over tvall's image.

Looks like it flashed OK: saw the info screen during flash, then it rebooted and set up screen came up.

A couple of questions:

Q1: is it suppose to say in Chromecast app: Firmware 13300 ?

Q2: I can Telnet and adb into the ChromCast fine. But after flashing this, I can't ssh in anymore... is it turned off?

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Q1: Yes, it should report as 13300 now, as Flashcast gives us the ability to finally update the kernel! :)

Q2: SSH is not enabled on my image, but I plan to hopefully add it in the future. What firmware were you using before that had it working? as far as I know, only the flashcast image it's self has SSH access.
[Google Chromecast] kozmo2k4:
bin

Thank you for confirming the Build Number, got a little concerned there, I do not want Ooogle to update it.

It was tvall's gtvhacker-chromecast-12940.bin that I had on it for about a week now.

But now that I'm thinking, only Telnet worked on it and that's how you verified root.

Maybe the ssh was my imagination (I just finished rebuilding my gBox Midnight with j1nx Linux and xbmc and spent most of the morning ssh-ing into to it trying to see where my userdata partition was hiding...:cyclops:).

Either way, my ChromeCast is working fine, hope to see some more cool features on it in the near future.

Thank you again.

EDIT: I want to mention, that my first attempt to flash the eureka_image was unsuccessful, came up with this screen

I think it happened because I had renamed your image to: eureka_image.13300.zip before flash. Would that affect it?
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Yes, it needs to keep the name eureka_image.zip as that is the file name Flashcast looks for.
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
I'm soooooo glad that you told us this because I had renamed the DNS Locator Add-On from its original name of "eureka_image.zip" to something more descriptive AND I also renamed the image from your original "FlashCast" post from its original name of "eureka_image.zip" . If I hadn't known that they had to retain their original filename, I would have ran into problems(obviously) and spent HOURS or even DAYS trying to figure out what the problem was!! lol You literally just saved me TONS OF TIME!! Thank you!!
[Google Chromecast] bormeth:

[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Currently uploading Version 1.1. Only difference, is a custom boot animation so it is easier to verify the firmware was flashed successfully. This is an optional update. I also have a flashable file that will just update the boot animation, so if you are on version 1.0, I recommend installing that so you don't have to set your chromecast up again.

Here is what the new boot animation will look like:
[Google Chromecast] kyda75:
I like it :) thanks

Just one little problem, I think the imager.sh in the "boot animation" only flammable file is not executable,

I gave it a chmod 755 and i was able to flash. Anyway please fix it for others.
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Hmm, swore I chmod'd it before zipping. Will fix now, thanks!

who knwos why these things happen

Held the CC button down and went to breakfast... come home and I've still got the Flashcast screen. Took out the USB, erased all the files, re-downloaded the zip file, restarted the process again. The CC was ready to start by the time I finished shaving, getting ready for work, version 1300 confirmed, thank you...

thank you

thank you all involved.

working well as you said "pwned"

was a bit tricky holding that tiny reset button while powering microusb

i had to read thread more carefully as chromecast->flashcast, then eureka.zip->usb->flashcast are 2 reboots:highfive: :)

also had to update firefox to use mega because chrome downloaded the zip into thin air twice, shrug? :good:
[Google Chromecast] mcpdigital:
I bought a total of five units, it seems all of them are using the original hackable firmware.

The delivery was last Monday through Amazon, so it is pretty new.

I'm now, flashing the second one as everything went fine with the first one.

PS. used a cable that came with my 3G modem from Claro Chile. It is 2 males to one female USB. Male 1 Power+Data, Male 2 Power.

Connect the OTG to the female USB and it works. Powered OTG.

Thanks for sharing.

[Google Chromecast] Levistras:
Was able to use my powered USB 2.0 7 port hub and put the OTG cable onto the end of the host cable from the Hub. Then I just plugged my flash drive into one of the 7 ports on the hub, and proceeded with flashcast flashing as per instructions.. worked fine!
[Google Chromecast] EfrainTrejo:
Sorry for the noob/dumb question if I'm on build 13300 could I still root and what are the benefits.
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
I'm sorry to inform you, but right now, no you can't root it. From the release of the Chromecast, up until this moment as I'm typing this message, the only "rootable" Chromecast is the original firmare Build 12072. If you purchased your Chromecast brand new and it has updated via the OTA's all on its own to Build 13300, it's currently impossible to root it due to the new bootloader in the new versions SINCE build 12072.

Right now there are no "real benefits," other than the fact that when Google DOES release the SDK, rooted users may be able to take advantage of certain features such as being able to stream local media (without lag) , etc..
[Google Chromecast] DC_MTP:
I just picked one up (str8 from Google play store) so of course it came with latest build 13300. what are the chances that someone will be able to root this down the line? trying to figure out if I should hold on to it or sell it? brought it becuase it was cheap and lots of hype behind it but it was probably because it was rootable during first release.
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
I really don't know what the chances are down the line.. I just can tell ya the past, the present, and what I THINK about the future, and I honestly don't think it looks too good for the future of rooting these devices, unless you've either already rooted it or get lucky and buy one that's still on build 12072(currently the only rootable firmware). In your case, having a build 13300 device, you're sittin in a pretty bad spot right now if rooting your device is a high priority. It just ain't happenin right now man...i'm sorry bro. Just as of now, no one has been able to find an exploit for any OTA build AFTER the 12072 due to Google patching the bootloader exploit found in 12072. I'm not tryin to say that someone WON'T eventually be able to root these more recent builds, I'm just sayin that right now it's an "unknown" and it's more than likely not gonna happen..at least not on the newer bootloader..
[Google Chromecast] DC_MTP:
Rollin the dice on a new order I just placed..this time from Amazon. We will see if I get lucky with a 12072 build.

Rollback from 13300 to 12072

Hi, i recently got a Chromecast and followed the instructions and got Flashcast installed with no problems also i updated to the last version [V1.1] Chromecast 13300 OTA Rooted/ADB Enabled.....Now i've been searching and found this post which gives the BETA4 APK of AirCast for local streaming....now i have read some articles and im aware that recent Chromecast update has broken support for AirCast....i was wondering if it would work again if i could Rollback from 13300 to 12072...using this flash [V1.0 - Sep 21st] ? :confused:
[Google Chromecast] stryker09:
omg yes my chromecast is pwned! really good stuff. now wheres that AirCast!

side question - do i need to boot from the usb drive each time at startup?
[Google Chromecast] ered15:
No you don't, just connect it normally ... and about AirCast it no longer works in last build 13300....
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
The rooted firmware, or any previous firmware will not allow AirCast to work as that was blocked server side. I have been trying to get aircast working again, but to no prevail as of now.

Nope.
[Google Chromecast] Sam1geois:
Thanks guys. I just flashed. Nice boot animation.

Noob question here: I heard a while back that Koush made a version of cyanogenMod that would cast anything on your device. I know the Aircast thing is broken server side (whatever that means), but would that rom still work?

Thanks again for the hard work.

Edit: you need a name for this rom
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Great question, and in all honesty I have no idea. It all depends how his plugin was designed. We will have to wait for it's release to see. As for a name, it's not really a custom ROM, so I didn't plan on naming it anything. If I was to name it though, id probably go with PwnedCast ;)
[Google Chromecast] DC_MTP:
So far I have the .bin file copied to my flash drive using win32DiskImager. can I proceed to copy the flashable zip with the 13300 system and kernel, [V1.1] to the drive as well or do I first need to go through the setup below

Connect the male end of your Micro-USB OTG cable to your Chromecast.

Plug your USB drive into the USB-A female connector of the OTG cable.

Simultaneously hold the button on your Chromecast and connect the Micro-USB power connector to the female Micro-USB port of the OTG cable.

also are the steps I just mention above preformed while the Chromecast is connected to my tv?

Thanks, hope I don't get flamed.
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
After flashing the flashcast.bin you will need to do those steps, otherwise the jumpdrive will not be formatted properly to allow you to put the eureka_image.zip file on it.

Also, it does not need to be plugged in to your TV to do the flashing, but it helps you know if the chromecast booted flashcast properly or not.
[Google Chromecast] ReasonablyRooted:
After reading these threads repeatedly I have successfully pwned my Chromecast ordered on Sept. 23 from Amazon. I am ready for the future!
[Google Chromecast] moreadon:
does this mean you can use Allcast??
[Google Chromecast] tchebb:
Not at this time, but having a rooted device allows you to use FlashCast to install more mods in the future. There are people (including me) actively working on re-enabling AllCast support, so keep your eyes out.
[Google Chromecast] laodai76:
Wow, there's nothing more!
[Google Chromecast] DC_MTP:
Stuck on this screen...does it mean that I did the steps incorrectly or my chromecast has been patched? I posted in the original flashcast thread but looks like everyone is out partying.

EDIT: tchebb helped me out.
[Google Chromecast] DC_MTP:
I'm on V1.1 and would like to check out the custom boot animation...should I remove the original root image from my flash drive and copy over the custom boot animation zip (eureka_image.zip (3.0 MB) - I'm asking because I notice both are named the same.
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
if you are on v1.1, you should already have the custom boot image. If you are on version 1.0, then flash the boot animation zip. you can only have one flashable file on the drive at a time, named eureka_image.zip, so overwrite the v1.0 file.
[Google Chromecast] Bajanman:

how to copy eureka_image to flash drive

How do you get eureka_image.zip onto the flash drive as it isn't readable by windows after Flashcast is written to it.
[Google Chromecast] BurnOmatic:
pahealey for me, once i flashed my chromecast with "flashcast" , i just plugged the drive into my pc and it recognized it and i put the eureka_image.zip on the drive's root and then connect it again and it will take it.
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
After you write the flashcast image to a jump drive, you need to boot the jumpdrive on the chromecast so it can extend the fat32 partition to the size of the jumpdrive. After you boot it, it will reboot when its done, and you can then put files on the jump drive.
[Google Chromecast] smartphoneguy:
Just to be clear, and because there seems to be a lot of confusion on this, you are not actually flashing (writing) Flashcast to your Chromecast. Flashcast is a software tool that resides on the USB flash drive to which you write it. The first time you plug that drive into your Chromecast Flashcast will run and properly setup its FAT32 working space on your USB flash drive. Nothing is flashed to your Chromecast at this point, and your Chromecast is still running whatever it was so is not rooted or update safe! When you then remove the USB flash drive and plug it into your computer to copy eureka_image.zip (e.g. the rooted, non-updating firmware) to it, you are copying it to the working space that Flashcast set up on first run. It is only when you then plug Flashcast into your Chromecast again that Flashcast flashes (writes) the eureka_image.zip to your Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] Bajanman:
This HERE^^^^^^^^100% correct:thumbup:
[Google Chromecast] BurnOmatic:
anyone got any scooby snacks i can throw at these guys :D
[Google Chromecast] alexoz:
So the first time chromecast boots from the usb drive (after dd'ing the flashcast .bin) it is just for the preparation of the partition structure/filesystem on the usb drive and maybe a check to see if it has a vulnerable bootloader? Nothing is altered on the chromecast itself?
