Flashcast build updated through google

Hi.. When I first got my chromecast I immediately flashed it with flashcast.. I didn't check updates/roms after doing this, so I have used the chromecast flashed with flashcast several times, and it has updated itself.. When I look at the Chromecast build in my IOS app it shows as 13330 or something. Now, my question is... can I still update the Flashcast software to the latest version, and put a rom on it? Is there anything I can do with the chromecast with it being updated, etc.. thank you for help.

Flashcast itself is just a tool that (once setup using the Chromecast) can be used to flash a custom ROM. Flashcast itself is not a ROM and does not root your Chromecast or prevent it from updating. Do you know what ROM you initially flashed using Flashcast? If you did not actually take the next step of using Flashcast to flash a rooted, no-update ROM, then it is not currently possible to root your updated Chromecast or flash a custom ROM. (If you are still on 13300, that does make me wonder if you might have installed a custom ROM because Google has released 2 newer builds OTA since 13300 that you should have received by now if the CC is connected to the Internet.)

Flashcast was/is the first of two steps and the second was to install the ROM which roots the CC. It won't accept a Google update then. If you did both steps your good but if you only did the first step your stuck. I'm guessing that you did both steps as your CC would have the latest Google build by now.

Well, when I plug my chrome cast in the TV and it boots, it does show a google chrome icon with a 'pwned' in red next to it, but I am not sure if that is from when I just tried to add Eureka Rom to chromecast today. Is there anyway to check whether I have a ROM installed on the chromecast for sure? I did try logging into the web ui thing that I believe is a feature of this rom, and it does not seem to work.

Depends how long ago you flashed the ROM. The current ROM with the Web Panel was released just before Xmas.

Yeah, if it says PWNED that means you are using my old PwnedCast ROM, which was before Eureka-ROM was released. if you leave the device on for 10~ minutes, it should check for an update from the team server, and self-update to the latest Eureka-ROM Release, unless you disabled the OTA service. In that case, you will have to flash Eureka-ROM manually using the latest flashcast, and a jump drive.

Screen casting, or the lack thereof

Why the filth-flarn-flarn-filth can't i cast the screen of my Android to my (stock) Chromecast yet, as announced?
I have a S4 (jflte), listed as supported. Running latest Omniron nightly (and up to date SuperSU, but that shouldn't matter), and i tried the following;
- update CC app to 1.7.4 from Android File Host
- update gapps to 20140708 and then to 20140716 in the hope Play Services would fix it
- reboot and factory reset chromecast until my fingers bled
- edited build.prop to appear as a hammerhead device, as advised by @murdoch1 in a different thread
- uninstalled CC app, rebooted
- re-installed Playstore version of CC app (also 1.7.4, now)
Please advise!

I don't know much about Omniron but all ROMs have things that have been removed/are missing, because the developer thought it makes the rom better/faster and they might have removed something with the functionality. Have you tried testing from a different rom? Maybe a TW ROM?

That, i have not. didn't think that would be related, because the casting is initiated from the CC app and not from System>Display.
And i've been on Omni since the first official release for jflte.
Edit. I seriously had to look up what you ment by TW:silly:. If that what it takes i'll live without...

Most likely it's something to do with your phone's ROM. Like Miracast, Chromecast screen casting is dependent on both the device itself and the ROM, and it might depend on kernel/bootloader too. We don't know exactly what hardware/software components Google has leveraged to make this happen.
The only 100% guaranteed working configurations consist of:
Supported phone/tablet
Stock ROM on phone/tablet (root or not shouldn't matter)
Build 17xxx or newer on Chromecast (stock or rooted shouldn't matter as long as build is proper version)
Updated Google Play Services
Chromecast 1.7.4 app (not required in some cases)

For the rest of the class, TW = TouchWiz = Samsung stock ROM (took me a while to figure that out too )

It's not as absurd as you would think. I own a Galaxy note II, and I have to use custom versions of Touchwiz so that I can get the S-pen to work, and all other "Note specific" applications.

Do I have to root my fire in order to install CM12 on it?

hi,
I don't know if this is specific to fire or a general cyanogen question, but I work with fire- so there it is.
According to the tutorials I see (most notably Rootjunkies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dwguHoxTvo) when I install CM I also need to put in SU in TWRP (or any other bootloader). Can I not to? What would happen?
I'd rather that apps I'll install be at their maximum segregation possible and have no loopholes to wiggle through.
Thank you very much.

You don't have to start a new thread, for every question
you have a few other threads, that you were are getting answers in

SU and SuperSU are entirely different things. SuperSu is a root manager that controls application access and elevated permissions. It is optional with CM 12.x which has an integrated root manager. SuperSU is a well respected third party tool that offers additional capabilities.

Wait, so if I understand you correctly CM already comes rooted?
Also, SU- so this is the command/file that gives the instruction to android to give administrative rights?

Google is your friend

Is there some way to remove the capability, not just turn it off? like with a stock?
and when i deny this su command to the kernel, does it happen in programs like supersu?
by the way, I wanted to thank you but apparently I'm limited to 8 thanks a day.

Short answer - no. Curl up with a preferred beverage and search engine to advance your understanding of root, root managers and SU.

What are you using root for?

Now that root on X4 is pretty solid it would be nice to see what different people use it for.
Themes? Apps that need root? Magisk modules?
Let's share some tips and tricks!

I have not rooted yet but want to know if there is some interesting customised tips for motox4

For me it was actually needed to remove operator bloatware.
But I found here the (almost) clean EU retail ROM where only Linked-in and Outlook apps are added, so it's perfectly OK for me.
So... no need for root

I reverted back to fully stock but I mainly used it for AdBlock.

i use root for adblock. if i could find a way to write a hosts without rooting id be happy

You guys using ADblock, wouldn't it be the same to use a browser with this feature built-in?
Well, that works if you don't want to block ad banners inside apps.

It's not the same as editing the host file. Many ads still get through.

Another important reason why I need root. Titanium backup.

2nd This!

Rooted for.
* No wireless display support (edit built.prop)
* Adblocking( Edit host)
* Audiomods(Viper)
* Xposed modules.

@anas214812, now that's interesting stuff! A couple of questions:
1) is that wireless display mod you refer to able to show the phone content on the TV?
2) about Xposed, do you know if GravityBox works? I'd be interested in a way to set the statusbar clock centrally aligned.
Thanks!

Ah! Thanks again for the heads-up!
Now I'll think twice before rooting X4, because I use a banking app and actually care about product warranty.

On my old Moto PE, I had no issues with unlocked bootloader and Magisk for Adroid Pay or any banking apps. Are you finding differently with Moto X4 or are you not hiding root with Magisk? Does safetynet checks pass in Magisk?

When I install magisk safety net was pass and after installing xposed and its framework.zip file from magisk then safetynet failed.
But even without installing magisk just because of bootloader unlocking my banking apps won't work. Even with safetynet pass(but Google pay worked).

Viper4android on Note 9 (snapdragon) without root?

Hi everyone,
I just switched from my old good Galaxy S7 to a brand new Note 9 (snapdragon, couldn't find an exynos variant on my country)
and so far i'm loving it, the software (aside from the usual bloatware) has been excelent and nothing seems to be missing for me right now, EXCEPT for some decent quality audio.
I'm used to use mid-high tier headphones and all I can say is samsung is still giving us pretty much no control over the sound quality.
Now to the point of this post, I know there is a way to install viper4android by just changing the kernel to permissive (idk if this still works). I don't want to void my warranty by tripping knox this time, and up to this moment there is no reason for me to root my device except for the sound mod.
Does anyone know how to install viper4android without root?
Does anyone know how to change the kernel to permissive without tripping knox?
Does anyone know if there is or is in development a way to root without tripping knox?
Thanks for reading

Again as far as I know the only non root way to install Viper4android is through TWRP. Yes this will trip knox but is non root. TWRP will probably be available on a Snapdragon version Note 9 long before if ever root is. His wishes for no nox trip Viper4android are non existent.
