[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
If you ask me...Google has definitely been diligent at securing the device from being rooted. I mean it's almost a year since the last root window opened up and closed.

They definitely learned a thing or two from Motorola about locking up devices!

They have to at least appear to be doing something about securing the device since support from the various content providers is dependent on that security.

A lesson they learned with the Google TV debacle.

Unlike Google TV without content this CCast dongle is worthless!

So yes they will try and do whatever they can to patch up any root exploit they can.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
As long as the content providers remain paranoid about piracy, the big G will have to do what they need to in order to make sure there's still content to play via Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] SomeGuy2008:
I agree. But how does the ChromeCast differ in that respect to a Android Tablet or Phone? Im sure that content providers care about piracy on those devices running android.

~SG
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
A tablet and phone can do other things than simply play media.

Chromecast minus the media leaves screen mirroring - but only for semi-recent and supported devices. That's not a market of millions of units, otherwise the folks selling Miracast devices would be rich and making shinier products.

(Stock) Chromecast has no interface, no way to sideload apps, and requires applications to support it in their code. Take the Chromecast-enabled apps away and you don't have much left, especially up against the Miracast devices.
[Google Chromecast] rydako:
The chromecast is built for, and solely marketed as a online media streaming stick. Google needs to show content providers that they are passionate about making their device a secure hardware solution for online media, otherwise if new content providers do not develop for the Chromecast, or current ones opt out Google would have lost the sole purpose of their device.

Android itself is generally easy to unlock devices bootloaders, gain root access and install custom roms, it was designed like that. While the chromecast was locked down. Google are taking a completely different approach to the Chromecast, than they did for their nexus line or Stock android in general.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
It really comes down to numbers vs risk.

The solution is to use DRM to protect the content. Pretty easy on a Phone/Tab due to it's beefier processor but not so much on a CCast other than using the built in DRM which could be vulnerable if someone with root access messed with it. On a phone you could create your own DRM system inside the app and even run a root check to deny the app from running which many have chosen to do. In essence that is precisely what Netflix does! And it should be noted that Netflix runs differently on CCast than all the other Receiver apps we see.

While they would probably be more comfortable not supporting Android due to it's rootable nature, when 85% of your target audience is running it it's a little difficult to ignore. Not so much the case with CCast at this point. and without their support it never will capture a majority of the audience.

Truth is the major holdup to content support seems to be the duality required to make CCast work. Not only do you have to code a receiver app for the CCast but you have to build the control and Dial functions into the Mobile app as well to send content to it.

Most media companies aren't this savvy to wrap their heads around that which makes CCast support almost an afterthought.

But back to your question...Yes they are plenty concerned with root on phones and tabs but to deny them means cutting off the lionshare of your target audience. Not the case with CCast at this point and since content is all it does they have some leverage to ignore it if they want until they are sure it is piracy proof.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev_McCall:
Ok so before I begin, I've read everything online and cannot figure this out. I've searched the forums for hours and still no luck.

I have the HTC One M7 with T-Mobile

I've had it since December with no issues at all, and still in mint condition. Never dropped.

I have it rooted, with boot unlocked

ViperOne ROM Installed, stock kernel.

Ok so Tuesday night I was going to bed (phone still on and working) and plugged my phone in to the charger to charge for the night as I usually do every night. Wake up in the morning and hit the power button to unlock the phone and to my surprise the display doesn't come on. As I said I've never dropped this phone in the entire 9 months I've had it, nor has it ever gotten wet.

This is NOT the first time this has happened either. I've had the phone display flicker on/off and after a couple times it will just stay on. It's also went off and I've fixed it by holding a light to the sensor in the top left and it came on. This time I'm not having any luck.

Please help! It's rooted, with custom ROM, and boot unlocked, therefore I cannot send it in for repair as warranty is voided. I've tried restoring it back to stock the best I can via mirror Android to PC program, but it's very difficult. I've restored it once before, I just don't get why it's not working again with me holding the light to the sensor. Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly aprreciated!! Thank you!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well issues like this are common with custom roms. You would need to pull a log cat or DSM message and send it to the developers.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
If you are not S-OFF, then you will have to relock your bootloader with this command: fastboot oem lock

Then run this RUU 5.14.531.11 That will put you back at stock and if you want to put a custom rom or root you can try it again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev_McCall:
Thanks for the reply, so how would I go about pulling log cat and DSM?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev_McCall:
Thanks man! I've tried other RUU's with no luck. So just to be certain, in order to flash an RUU, you need S-Off wit Bootloader locked? Is it not possible to flash RUU with S-On? Going to do this now. I'll let you know. I'll keep you guys updated. Feeling good about this. :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
See comments above.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev_McCall:
Ok so I succesfully Installed the RUU and back to stock rom, but upon rebooting, my screen did not turn back on. I've read of dozens of other users who have experienced this same thing. I guess the next step would be to fully return it to stock, turning S-On, removing tampered, unrooting, etc, and just returning it for another phone. [MENTION=3070392]majmoz[/MENTION]
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
If you successfully ran the RUU, then you are stock with a relocked bootloader. The downside is you have to be S-OFF to remove the tampered and to change the "relocked" to "locked".

If you are S-OFF, then you would have to put TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.7.1.2 and install this Bootloader Reset Tool. Then flash a stock recovery. You are now completely back to stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev_McCall:
Yea. I turned S-Off before I even ran the RUU. So there's one thing I'm confused about. If I'm trying to return to complete stock state, why would I install Twrp or CWM if those don't come with it? Is there any other way to do this? As I have no back-light and it's been very hard to do all that I've done so far. Screen hasn't come on, so I'm working blind here. Lucky for me I remember where most of the buttons are at and with the help of ADB, I've gotten this far. [MENTION=3070392]majmoz[/MENTION]

[MENTION=3070392]majmoz[/MENTION]

Hey bro thank you so much for the help so far, I really appreciate it. I just have one last problem. I've already talked with HTC and they're going to be sending me a replacement and I have to send my phone back in within 10 days but they said they would be checking for root.

So question 1. When you restore phone to stock ROM via RUU it unroots the phone correct?

Second problem. Now that I've restored the stock rom, usb debugging isn't enabled and I can re-enable it due to not being able to see the screen. So because USB Debugging is not enabled ADB is no longer recognizing it when I run "adb devices"

Because of this I can't turn bootloader, tampered, and lock stats back on. I'm really nervous sending my phone back in like this. I hate to keep bothering you, but you seem to know your stuff a lot more than I, and I'd hate to start a new thread. Thanks again bro.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
1. RUU unroots the phone.

2. Yes, you need USB Debugging enabled and a custom recovery (nkk71 uses CWM).

I have been racking my brain all night. This is a long shot, but if HTC is sending you a replacement before you have to ship yours back then here is an idea. With the replacement phone side by side; memic the commands to open Settings on both phones doing the replacement phone first, then the old phone. The location of the items should be in the same place on both screens. It may take a couple of tries but you seem adapt at reading blank screens. ;) I'm still researching a way to turn it on remotely, but this is the only solution I could come up with presently.

When you get USB Debugging enabled, use nkk71's guide to install CWM on your phone. Then complete the manual steps to remove "Tampered" and to "Locked" the phone. Reboot the phone into bootloader per the instructions. Now we need to put the stock recovery back on the phone. You can get the stock recovery out of the last OTA. Download it to your PC, then open the zip file. Within the zip is the firmware.zip, open it and you will see recovery.img file this is the stock recovery. Just extract it and flash it like you did the custom recovery earlier. Going back to nkk71's guide, complete the fastboot command to return to S-ON. Now you are completely stock with no hint of root.

[MENTION=3070392]majmoz[/MENTION]

I'm beast! lol Ok so quick update to my problem. So I got the bright idea to use the Power+Volume Down to take screenshots of my display as I blindly tapped and used that as a guide and moved forward to unlocking developer options, then enabling USB debugging. ;) I can now see my device in ADB once again. Should be pretty cake from here. Thank you so much bro! And also, HTC has agreed to send me a new phone, but I must first send mine in. They would have sent me one first and then I send mine in later, but they wanted to place a $600 credit hold on my card. **** THAT. The rep told me they would be checking for other damages as well as if it rooted.

Ok so I've been reading those sites and I know I'm so close to being back to 100% stock, but now I'm stuck. I'm confused as to what order to things.

I restore stock recovery, then lock bootloader, turn S-ON,and remove tampered and return to Locked status?

Here are my fastboot getvar details. Just trying to get this done as soon as possible as I'm also in the process of moving and wont have net here much longer. So as soon as I get this done I can send my phone back in and get the replacement. :) Really hate being without a phone.

No backlight

Hello everyone.

I have a problem.

I have a HTC One M7 phone, water was harmful, he got an independent board.

I put (through several weeks after drying) of the new motherboard, but a backlight is not working, moving toward strong light by seeing there a picture of the home and back button lights up. A light sensor has tried to take it out but the story is the same.

I tried manually switched to automatic brightness, but semi.

Somebody help me what is wrong.

The new motherboard root, and recovery.

[MX Player] shibliaftab:
This problem was not before, with the same version of mx player. But, it appeared suddenly. I cant be able to figure out what is causing the problem.

Details of the problem and step to reproduce :

go to mx player and play any video (until now video get played as normal without issue) -> then touch the screen or try to slide up or down to change the volume or brightness -> video get stuck-> wait for sometimes -> device get automatically get rebooted

Device: MOTO G 16 GB rooted and with custom ROM (cyanogenmod ROM snapshot M9). I think there is no problem in custom ROM because video works perfectly in default player. and even I played video on mx player previously.

I have attached the logcat please look and let me know what to do.

Info about logcat: logcat stopped when mx player got hang.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Please do not post bug reports directly into the Feature Request list. Post them as a new thread. I've moved the post to a new thread for you this one time; next time please start a new thread with your bug report.
[MX Player] bleu8888:
There is not enough information in the log file.

Please use MX Log Collector. It is available on Google Play Store.

Also following information will be help.

1. Used decoder.

2. If it happens on all videos.

3. What happens if run mx after shutting down network connections using airplane mode.
[MX Player] shibliaftab:
Sorry, I thought that was for both bug reports and new features request.
[MX Player] shibliaftab:
First of all thanks for the response.

I figured out what is the reason behind this problem. "show touches" option in developer settings causing the problem. when it is activated problem occur but when i deactivate that option mx player works fine.

Way to reproduce :

go to the system settings > then go to Developer option > check the box for "show touches" in input setting.> now go to mx player app and play any video and slide on the screen or touch > it will freez.

Decoder is default I didn't change the decoder or might be I dont have one.

It happens with all videos.

when I activate the airplane mode, problem is not resolved.

I have attached the bug report( taken from mx player ) and logcat of the system (taken from adb).

thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KesselRunPDX:
Hi,

Aside from the problem I'm about to describe, everything else has been fine on my rooted s3. I'm using it as just a wifi only device, no phone account or anything active on it and it's running KitKat 4.4.2 . The issue I'm running into is apparently certain apps I'm trying to use, or maybe the whole phone I'm not sure, doesn't seem to have write access to the external sd card.

First app called Click Master gives me a couple different errors when I start it up, namely "Error: Could not create Root Directories" and "Write Error: Collection Save All!" I can search the various sets on the app, but cannot add anything to it nor make teams/groups in the team builder, namely because of the above errors. Also I can't perform a search through the various sets. I have this app on my Galaxy Tab 3, which is running 4.1.2 and it doesn't have any issues with any of the above, and functions like it should. I'm guessing it has something to do with the write permissions possibly?

Second is the Doctor Who Legacy app. This one I'm not too sure if its the same issue, and I'm trying to work with the dev team for the game, but it installs and loads just fine, but it gets to the splash screen and says "Please Wait..." then it just sits there not advancing into the game or crashing or giving any sort of error. Again, works fine on my Tab 3, but since there hasn't been any error messages, I'm kind of at a loss on what the issue is.

I searched the forums before posting and found the N9005 thread for editing the platform.xml in /system/etc/permissions and under WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission it does not have the group definition <group gid="media_rw" />. I enabled the write permission in File Explorer, but when I try to add the line into the xml, it says "Error occurs during saving". Not sure what's up there.

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated on these issues, since I'm at a loss and don't want to do too much poking around and brick the device.

Thanks!

Having the Kernel set to permissive kinda fixes the issue as well and Chad The Pathfinder also did a post regarding modifying a .xml HERE

So you can get the permissive stock kernel from HERE Creds to CNexus and give him thankies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KesselRunPDX:
Haven't tried installing the permissive kernel, I'm not quite sure how to do that lol.

The thing that is baffling me is that i checked the platform.xml file and this is what I see:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

I checked the platform permissions and they're set to rw-/r--/r--/ and I rebooted, but the two programs are still having the same problem. Everywhere I've checked about this says to do the above to fix the problem and yet its not seeming to fix it. Could it be the apps themselves? Should I try re-downloading them and check if a fresh install would help?
