Just a small update. Removed the TSOP and went to read it using factory default settings and found the first 141 bocks are invalid and the rest of the chip was blank "FF". Changed the settings to not skip over the 141 blocks and got a 2 gig data file. Not sure if this a good thing yet need to sort through to see if any of the data is intact valid. My Chromecast is using current firmware. The TSOP does hold 16gigs of data. Only data seen so far is up to data block 3F3C000 then blank from that point on.

Could really use another TSOP from another Chromecast even a dead one for comparison.

[Google Chromecast] rekids:
Need some help from some one who knows a few things about the Chromecast.

What I able to do right now is read and write what ever is stored on the 16 gig TSOP that is in the Chromecast. As far as I can see this is where the firmware should be stored.

The idea is to write the firmware that is desired to the TSOP and have the Chromecast boot that software instead.

Problem ... The data that is recovered from my Chromecast that is up to date has about 200-500 MB of data towards the beginning of the blocks and a few more MB just before the end of the blocks. The total .bin file is about 2.2 gigs. When viewing the contents of the .bin there is no readable text (example "Google , version, build" and so forth) and there is usually at least something in text format when viewed in WinHex of other devices that I have read and written to in the past.

What I don't know is where exactly is the TSOP the firmware begins or ends, location of checksum (s) and an image of Eureka firmware as it is written on the TSOP.

Possible solution is a TSOP that has had the firmware already loaded or an image of that TSOP or possibly even the rootable firmware image.

Any help is great. I have been on the IRC channel of Eureka and Gtvhacker and asked there but had no response.

The programmer I have is an older Dataman 48pro (newer version is more efficient and does multiple chips at once) it is very reliable and takes about 20 minutes for a complete read of the 16 gig TSOP. The chip does need to be removed and placed in the adapter to read since ICP is not spotted by the TSOP and from my research the JTAG or UART has been disabled I suspect with in the processor.

Any one with info or even idea would be great.

Thanks

Thank you and yes understand being busy, I work 40+ them got stuff I do at home with 4 kids and the wife not to mention I do a few things out of town each week.

I did get a full NAND image just got to compare with the read I got and see if there online with each other as to location and type of code in case it is different after it passes through the CPU.

Will keep you posted, as to findings.

Just in case of anyone is following this,

I did get the bootloader downgraded to a TOtable version written on the NAND. Down side is was not able to get the NAND remounted well enough for a boot without some liquid flux I had lost around the house some where so ordered some more. It is definably possible to change all the data in the NAND with a programmer but the NAND has to be removed from the PCB and then remounted. But have to wait for supplies to show up and then a day I can play around with this project again.

The Chromecast I am working with is one with the serial number of 3B and it has updated to the the most recent firmware.

Any how will post when I have it boots again :)

Could this be used to flash the tsop without desoldering?

I've been out of the modding scene for years and haven't kept up.
[Google Chromecast] rekids:
Looks like more a way to connect while mounted then a way to program. The NAND requires a particular set instructions to do anything really. The way I understand what needs to happen to program and write are a couple of things,

1 connection to the right pins (obtain with the item you mentioned our to place in a adapter with individual connections for each pin)

2 uninterrupted communication (may have issue with resistors, caps, CPU and any other items on board connected to NAND)

3 instruction set for communication to the NAND to have it do what you want.

I have not come across anything as of yet suggesting in In circuit programming is possible out side of the use of the UART or JTAG. And since as far as I can find the correct set of UART pins are not connected and the JTAG is either disabled or not connected makes in circuit programming not possible as of right now.

A data sheet on the 88DE3005 has not been found by me as of now. Marvell seams to keep that info unavailable to us.

A map out of the armada mini would be great and a pin out of the board connections would help to see if that would be possible in the future.

[Google Chromecast] rekids:
So got my stuff to remount the NAND with the changed bootloader to the exploitable one and .. no boot. Not sure what exactly went wrong got a sneaky feeling it may have died during the attempt to remount before I got my stuff with a big fat solding iron. Gonna go get another and try again.

It is definitely easier to remount when you use liquid flux and not just trying to hit each leg with solding iron.
[Google Chromecast] Snaipersky:
Any news? Have we found a hardware method of rooting?
[Google Chromecast] rekids:
Yes there is detonate hope as to reverting the bootloader back to a rootable version. ... However this method appears to require the removing of the NAND and programing it by its self then remounting all 48 legs on the chip. There are few key points that have to be saved from the original bootloader as in the customer key store that is seen during the boot up while watching the UART.

Will keep you posted as soon as it is confirmed if possible.

1080xt 4.4
[Google Chromecast] rekids:
Been awhile since I posted any updates to this so this is what I have found. (In short)

Rewriting the NAND is totally possible using a programmer and as well with an older xd card reader (both methods require removing the NAND)

You can write and read or erase the contents. How ever writing the exploitable firmware (at least the Bootloader and kernel) on to a CC that has been updated to 16xxx software will not boot even with the customer keys patched in. Thinking it has to do with the signature keys being updated and written in the SOC and not having access to that we can't change those keys. So reverting the Bootloader back to a rootable version (currently 12072) is not possible (with the little I know about code).

Not sure but if the keys were not updated for a few versions later perhaps roll the bootloader back then, but I do not have a CC with an earlier 12xxx firmware to check. I do have 2 rooted that I purchased off eBay for under $50 (rare but out there).

So there it is for the time sorry for the late reply wanted to be sure my failure was really a failure not bad connections.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3kB0i:
I don't like CWM, I've been using TWRP for about two years now. It never fails me. Earlier today, I was able to ODIN a recent TWRP recovery onto the Galaxy SII and have the latest ParanoidAndroid running in less than 15 mins. But I've spend double that trying to find an odin for TWRP for this device.

I've downloaded TWRP from three different places, and none of them are odin compatible. Please help. How can I easily install this recovery onto a bricked device?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
You don't. Most custom ROMs for the Epic 4G use MTD, while stock ROMs and a few old custom ROMs use BML. The latest Odin-able recovery (i.e. compatible with BML only) for us is CWM 5.0.2.7 - yes, not even a newer version of CWM, let alone TWRP.

Just use CWM to unbrick and flash any MTD custom ROM, which TWRP plays nice with.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
You should be able to just factory reset. Seems you just boinked your system file (forgot the name).

Look up YouTube's videos how to factory reset your device during boot.

If you knew what you were doing, you should be able to put the phone in download mode and push a stock [system file] and recover it without a wipe. But wiping is easier and faster.

[Xperia SP General] phased1:
Hello I upgraded to 4.3 but I lost my 4.1 sapphire theme how do I get this theme back without screwing up my phone? The setting menu is all white now and its too bright for my eyes. I much prefer the sapphire theme.
[Xperia SP General] KiaTheKing:
You can download rom 4.3 with black menu and settings.
[Xperia SP General] pec0ra:
This white background is part of the new 4.3 design.

There are some custom themes you can install though. Most of them are there : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578796 . Unfortunately they are not as good as official sony themes. Maybe you can find more if you search in Xperia SP's, Xperia Z's and Xperia Z1's theme and app sections here in xda. Check that they are apk and for android 4.3, if so they shouldn't screw up your phone.

Another solution, as [MENTION=5303868]KiaTheKing[/MENTION] said, is to install a custom ROM modified to have black background. However, you must have a custom recovery for that. If you don't know what this is, you don't have one. If you are interested in having one, search in Xperia SP Development section you'll find all the information you need. But be aware that this might void your warranty and this is quite a big modification in your device's software. You have to know what you are doing, otherwise you might brick your device. With great power comes great responsibilities ;)

"touch sensitivity - often times it presses on its own, having a hard time typing " this is quite common on chinese phones/replacement parts. They get unmagnetised and start working their self. You may need to replace it.

"battery drain.. tried to recalibrate it but it dont work." this too is common on chinese batteries.

"lock screen - often times goes to lockscreen whenever i press the home button" may be a software issue (related to buttons localisation) or hardware issue (faulty or damaged motherboard). I would ask for a refund but as it is a chinese phone I don't think they will do it. Just try. Best wishes, Lorenzo
