[Google Chromecast] Morphy99:
I'm trying to get my stock Pixel to screen cast reliably to a Chromecast in my car. I've tried with a wi-fi hotspot and this seemed to drop out randomly which wasn't helpful whilst driving and then other times it wouldn't see an internet connection through it despite the phone being online.

So I've gone down the road of using a raspberry pi as a portable hotspot and rooting a Chromecast. This is more reliable once connected however the process of connecting is a bit tricky. At the moment I have to give the Chromecast an internet connection through a USB tether to the pi then connect to the wi-fi and cast screen. Eventually disconnecting the tether and the phone falls back to cell data whilst still casting the screen. My question is can I stop a rooted Chromecast with Eureka ROM needing an internet connection to be able to receive screen casts? I must note for some reason it only needs to be connected once after boot after that it will still be able to cast to despite complaining of no internet connection. Which is different to what a non rooted Cc did so it's like it's almost there but not quite.

[MENTION=5003692]Morphy99[/MENTION] - You should try the Miracast receiver from Microsoft (Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter v2). Works great with my Nexus 7 (2013) on Android 6 and the app "SecondScreen" for screen ratio correction! :good:
[Google Chromecast] Morphy99:
Yes I realise this unfortunately with the Pixel unrooted miracast is not possible. Another reason I should have gone Samsung. Ive got a cheap ez cast dongle coming which hopefully will do it, although I'm sceptical at the minute. I'll update you if it works.

I just paid off my Note 4 with Sprint and was told NUMEROUS times that I would be able to switch the phone over to AT&T, but now I'm being told by everyone there's "nothing they can do." Someone with Sprint support told me I could bring it in the store and they could "zap it," but when I brought it in they looked st me like I was dumb. Anyway anyone can help me out here? I'd really love to keep my phone.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Ryujin2017:
If you open up the Chinese store app on the device you can download Google Play Services and the Play Store from there. But they don't run and they always crash. It would be nice to get a port of the international ROM to flash, as mentioned on here too.

Once I get the phone delivered I will go over all existing root methods I can find and see if anything works.

What is Safe mode and Download Mode?

IF I press and hold Volume Down and Power On simultaneously for more than 5 second to power up the device using only battery, it enter into Safe Mode.

IF I press and hold Volume Down and Power On simultaneously for more than 5 second to power up the device with charger connected, it enter into Download Mode.

IF I press and hold Volume Down and Power On simultaneously for more than 5 second to power up the device with the device connect to my Windows 10 PC using the USB, it enter into Download Mode. And, the PC detected it as ADB Interface / Fastboot Device.

What can we do with these two mode? Is these info useful for the experts here?

Update on Mar 22

===============

1) Connect the Nokia 6 to USB/USB charger.

2) Shutdown and wait for the charging battery icon to appear.

3) Press and hold the Volume-up button, add in Power-on button and "Powered by Android" will appeared.

4) Hold for around 5 seconds but not too long otherwise it will just restart the phone.

5) Release both buttons.

6) Options for: Reboot system now, Reboot to bootloader, Apply update from SD card, Wipe data / Factory reset, Wipe cache partition, View recovery logs and Power off will appeared.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Ryujin2017:
So far I can only get in to recovery or download mode using ADB. The traditional button combinations for Android do not seem to work here.

Another thing about this device, when you connect to a PC via USB and access the internal memory (PTP option), you only get 'Internal Shared Storage' which is not the entire filesystem. It is just the media storage. If you choose the option to transfer via USB then the phone appears in Windows as a CD-ROM with driver software.

I tried to install it but I don't think it works because it is written for Chinese Windows and mine is in English. So far then, I cannot even access the traditional Download folder via USB for this device. I assume this makes rooting that much harder?

I'm new to Android, hopefully some expert can find a way to install the Google Play on Nokia 6 PRC version.

Actually many IT personnel in China is starting to advise their friends not to get Nokia 6 PRC version as it can't support Google Play Services.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Make.Sense:
It's only a software limitation, not a hardware limitation.

Once there is a root method and either the global rom or any other rom gets released you can reflash it and should be good to go. It's been done for many other Chinese phones, issue is just how long it will take and if the root method for the global version is the same as for the PRC version.

Is it running Android 7.0 or 7.1.1?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] abhijit1998:
As details described in online site the phone runs android 7.1.1.... And you are right. Only they have to get root access or a custom recovery. Then they can use google play services and root the phone. As my nokia x doesnot came with google play service out of box. I installed google play service with custom recovery. Not hardware limitation. It is software which is without google play services pre installed.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] abhijit1998:
Just a image of a specification from nokia's site.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Make.Sense:
Yeah. So it's most likely just a matter of time before someone figure it out and we can use Google Play. If not now, at least when there's wide availability of the global version there will most likely be a root.

Reason I asked about the Android version is because on the Chinese Nokia 6 site (https://www.nokia.com/zh_int/phones/nokia-6) they write 7.0, while on the International one that you posted screenshot of above they write 7.1.1.

[IMG="Screen"]http://i.imgur.com/AW26GoF.jpg[/IMG]

My concern is that if they run different versions of Android, by the time the global version gets released and rooted the PRC one will still be unrooted.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] abhijit1998:
That can be bad news for Chinese user of Nokia 6. But I think if someone rooted nokia 6 internetional version, then the rooting procedure will not be very dificult to them as the phone is same. But there can be difference between two type of devices. I think android version will not matter that much. If there are internal changes then that can be matter. Or I can be wrong.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] HGTan:
My Nokia 6 China version runs on Android 7.0.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] abhijit1998:
No update? I mean no system update?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Ryujin2017:
Hopefully one day it will get root access. There are many fake articles about using TWRP now to root this phone.

What is interesting though, is, if you do try to flash TWRP to the device it errors and says 'FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)'.

Maybe someone here, who is much smarter than me, might find that useful?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Marsnomonkey:
Hey guys. I am watching the topic accross few forums for a while cuz I am using the same phone bought from China. If TG found the recovery from SD option, I guess the easiest we can do is waiting for the Global version released then get that ROM to reflash RPC version. Cuz the global version rummored come with preinstalled Gapps and I think it certainly will.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Ryujin2017:
Rumours are, the global version will be released around June. Quite a wait then until people can even start to look at rooting this device.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] zorrol:
I left my brand new NOKIA6 in home, and still using my old 3 years old samsung note 3. sinace nokia can't be rooted, i just want install gapp and playstore in it.

If It can't be rooted, i would like i didn't buy it..:(((((((((((
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Make.Sense:
For me I'm more bothered by the lack of root than the lack of Play store. Most apps can just be downloaded as an .apk and manually installed, it's a hassle but as someone who rarely installs new apps I'm OK with it.

Not being able to root and have fun with all the things that unlocks, that on the other hand is annoying. :p

Anyway, it will be rooted and there will be custom roms and all that good stuff. It's just a matter of time.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] HGTan:
I agreed with you. I'm a Nokia Supporter for 20 years and quite regret to buy the Nokia 6 PRC version.

I can understand Nokia did not preinstalled Google Apps on Nokia 6 PRC version as it is not usable in China but really don't understand why Nokia didn't just preinstall the Google Play Services. That is a poor marketing decision !!! They should know many Chinese peoples travel and working in oversea and there are many foreigner working in China too.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

FYI. Many APPs wouldn't run without Google Play Services. I do not bother by lack of root too but I need Google Play Services.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Marsnomonkey:
It's Chinese Government mate, not a marketing strategy. Peking released a new legislation about using Google in mobiles last year, so HMD could avoid Google in the new production line, or, forget about the Chinese market at all. Turned out they prefer the market. The reason we can not just install Google play services on Nokia 6 is, they put a restriction in the system to avoid it running as a service, we have to root the device and get the su authentication to deactive the restriction. Once the system has been rooted, the rest will be simple.

In my opinion the 1st thing to do, is to try if you can unlock the bootloader.

If you are willing to sacrifice your current setup, and risk resetting your phone, you can try if unlocking the bootloader works. Unlocking bootloader is needed for installing a custom recovery (which allows among other things, rooting the device). If unlocking bootloader is blocked, then it is impossible to install custom recovery. Afaik, right now there is no custom recovery for Nokia6, but if unlocking does not work, then there is no point in creating one. So it would be beneficial to know, if the booloader can be unlocked.

Prior to starting, verify if you have in Settings - Developer options - OEM unlocking. If you do, enable it.

If you don't have ADB installed on your PC, follow the minimal adb thread to get it installed:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

After you get it installed, you can test booting into Download mode (Vol- Power), this probably is the fastboot mode. You can check if the device is connected to your PC with:

fastboot devices

If it is, you should see your devices serial number.

Use this command to check the bootloader status:

fastboot oem device-info

The following command will attempt to unlock the bootloader, if it works, it resets your device, so back up your data in advance:

fastboot oem unlock

Use the device-info command again, to check if bootloader was unlocked.

If the unlock is a success, then maybe someone here on XDA can compile a twrp recovery for it.

Good luck.

I'm getting my Nokia 6 delivered tomorrow or Wednesday. I'll try it first thing before I migrate over the rest as a reset when it's fresh out of the box doesn't really matter one bit. (If nobody else tries before that, that is)
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] nischal31:
Nope, it didn't worked looks like Nokia implemented strong security, or we might need those packages to unlock bootloader ?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] pryggi:
Thanks for testing. Did you check if in the Developer settings - OEM unlock switch exists? Anyway, there might be some additional protection on it, like on Xiaomi. Maybe HMD will later introduce a way to unlock it, but until then, the only hope is that the global rom with play store can be flashed on the Chinese model.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] nischal31:
yes it's already turned on
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Ryujin2017:
Thanks for trying this.

It's sad that this does not work either. The phone seems really well locked down. I also think that flashing the international ROM on to the Chinese version is the way to go too. No idea how it can be done though if it is locked down so much.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] pryggi:
No one knows until the glogal rom is released and it could be tested. It might work, if the stock recovery on Chinese model accepts the certificate that the future global rom will be signed with. If they use a different certificate that is not trusted by Chinese model recovery on the global rom, then there is no possibility to flash it (unless someone manages to unlock the bootloader and creates the custom recovery, which can bypass the certificate check).

There is a bit similar situation with OnePlus 2. It has Chinese model A2001, Eurasia model A2003 and US model A2005. You can flash both the Chinese rom H2OS and Global rom OOS on all the models, because the the stock recovery trusts the certificates that they use on the roms.

So it is up the HMD to choose, if they allow flashing global rom on Chinese model and vice versa.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Make.Sense:
I'm fairly sure that one way or another it'll be rooted and there's been Chinese phones with locked bootloader being rooted. The interest in the phone is quite big, so it'll happen in due time. Question is just how long.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] pryggi:
Afaik, rooting a working system can be achieved through some vulnerability, e.g. the rooting app can exploit the security hole and install the su/sudo etc commands that are needed for root. If HMD is releasing monthly security patches, then it might be difficult to find such hole. The best bet is to try to root when the phone gets delivered to you with hopefully out of date android. But the next system update might remove the root and play store...

Here is a list of different rooting apps to test:
