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.

It's officially out today!
HOWEVER... it's still listed as not available for my Xoom LTE. Not sure if they forgot to check the box for this model. If someone can get the new tablet friendly APK out there, I'd be obliged. I've already submitted a message to Hulu support.
i was able to install it on my xoom.
Can you post an APK file?

i have no clue how to do that.
It's good to know how to do it, programs like ASTRO File Manager or App Backup & Restore can backup the apps installed on your phone or tablet as APK files, which can be installed on any device. It doesn't back up app data (You need root and Titanium Backup for that), but it's great if you want to save old versions of apps in case someone releases a bad update, or if you want to copy them to a device that doesn't have the Android Market or something like that.
Then you stick 'em on some sort of site that lets people download 'em.
Installed fine, however getting DRM not supported error...
I'm running EOS ICS on my CDMA Verizon Xoom, and no dice. I installed it on my Transformer, no problem. Used Astro to backup the apk; however, it says its private and won't allow me to. I've tried to install from the device and the web based play store. No go.
I don't think it's compatible with ICS yet, because my Galaxy Nexus is also non-supported; however, I have ICS on my Nexus S and it installed just fine, so...idk
Runs on my xoom just fine.

Im using market update version -
As of last night, my Xoom LTE could install the app off the Play Store. I could also start a video, but the connection wasn't great it seemed, and I got a network error after like fifteen seconds.
It seems like the only people who have gotten the official app to work on their Xoom, are people with the 4G LTE Xoom. Although, it does not say it will only work on 4G LTE in the Google Play app store, there seems to be a pattern. I wonder if a build.prop edit could fix the issue?

did you sideload or did you download and install?
did you have another version of twc tv installed?
do you have the play store installed?
what firmware version are you running?
did you install xposed framework installed?
do you have adb debugging enabled?
just trying to find out more about why its force closing.
I will try a clean install of latest ouya.
will also try unrooted ouya.
Before installing this version I uninstalled the official TWC version.
Then I downloaded directly to tablet and installed.
Play Store is installed.
My Samsung GT-P7510 is running Android 4.2.2 Kernel 3.1.10-cyanogenmod+ 10.1-20131103-NIGHTLY-p4wifi
I am not familiar with xposed fraework, I do not believe I have it installed. Do I need it?
In the Developer options setting Android debugging is not enabled.

Thanks so much for this, it works for VOD and LiveTv now I can return the box from my bedroom.
Nevermind, asked the guy that modded the APK.
Any chance of doing the same thing on the Brighthouse app? I believe they are nearly identical. I will happily test on my Ouya.
No longer works, prompts me to update via the play store. When I do it throws up the hdmi error.
Application no longer works. Is there any chance for an upgrade? I would love to be able to use this with my Ouya.

Rooting allows you to be able to stream a lot more content to your chromecast, that alone is worth while to root!

You can run non-Google-sanctioned apps, which give you more capabilities.
Good forever? No guarantee, but as long as you load PwnedCast as the first thing you do, your root will be preserved, as PwnedCast will only push you pre-rooted updates. However, at some point in time Google could release a new update that is not rootable for some reason, I suppose.
Regarding mods, all current mods require root.

A stock Chromecast won't run an application that isn't whitelisted.
Oversimplified, it's like an application directory lookup. If the application isn't in the Google application directory, it doesn't get run.
The KyoCast mod gets around this by allowing additional whitelisting beyond the official Google whitelist.

okay ended up returning and getting two rootable ones. i just rooted and installed pwned.
does it automatically disable google OTA updates or is that another file i have to install.
also will it automatically push the newer pwned updates?
is it safe to put it online?
It gets updates from its own server, preserving root.
Yes it is safe to put online.
Is there any way to verify that the Google ota updates are disabled?
Can I install allcast and fling on it now or do I need the other rom?

It's not an option, it's built into the PwnedCast firmware, otherwise everyone running PwnedCast would lose root.
Allcast and Fling will work with PwnedCast v1.1 onward, as long as you have the correct Allcast and Fling versions.
Kyocast was an add-on, it is now built into the PwnedCast v1.1 firmware.

Yes, those should be good. Most applications will not be version-specific (aside from some minimum required version) with respect to Chromecast. Allcast and flings are exceptions.

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.

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)

The bluetooth/wifi issues are only a concern for Anthracite OUYA owners. If that's the case for you, I would stick with this ROM since there are virtually no updates happening for CM11 now. If you really want to update, then find the bluetooth driver in the ROM and simply copy it like the OP did.
If you don't have the Anthracite version just use mlq's CM11.
I have the Anthracite Ouya. Thanks for the info. I have no idea how to copy the Ouya driver's so I will just stay on cm11.
