Reset a rooted Chromecast for selling - Google Chromecast

I've decided sell my Chromecast as I don't really use it and it may as well go to a good home.
It's running the latest Eureka ROM. I assume I can factory reset it and keep it rooted running the custom ROM?
Just wanted to double check before selling it on that auction site
Thanks.

Yes, Factory Reset only clears the settings - it does nothing to the firmware/ROM.

Great. Thanks for the confirmation.

The rooted ChromeCasts get more money on eBay

so long as it isnt the wifi only version, I would say go for it.
make sure it isnt model P1010.It has inferior hardware compared to the original
AT&T dumped a bunch of refurbs on their site on Friday for $199.99 with no contract. I think if you're in the US you'll see a bunch of them pop up on Ebay shortly. First reviews of the received models are they look like they're brand new.
I would also consider things like exchange and warranty. Maybe it's worth the extra coin to you to know that if you have any issues with it you can exchange it or get it serviced under warranty?
With Gingerbread out now i would say yes get one as long as it is the GSM version and not a wifi version.

Well I finally jumped on it. Its the cdma version from sprint. Why does that really matter, custom roms and such? I'm using wifi only. I love this thing.

Because with the gingerbread rom browsing the web is way faster. It's another level. Not frustrating anymore when there are many flash animations. There's no lag at all with flash videos even in 720p.

I jumped ahead and bought it for $250 + taxes. It is great but I'm contemplating whether to return it or not. It's the 3G at&t edition. My concern is that its not dual core and at&t and t-mob are just dumping these out to make the 10.1 model ready for release. I have no issues with its performance but its just that it's not dual core and I forsee lag in upcoming applications. Anyone has any thoughts on this?

Anyone with a AT&T 8.9 LTE, I could use a hand..

Apologies if this is the wrong area to ask for this but not sure where else to post, kind of a niche product.
Anyway In a failed effort to root my AT&T galaxy tab 8.9 4g LTE I'm now at a point where I can only get to download mode. Recovery and normal boot just give me a black screen. If anyone else picked one up and can get a odin flashable recovery I would owe you huge!
I know its kind of a niche product and I probably wont have much look finding anyone but its worth a shot right
Since you're still in the remorse period I'd just play dumb and exchange it at an AT&T store.

That is my backup plan. I would like to fix this one if possible, it appears to be perfect and having had quality issues in the past would just rather not play the lotto. If I could find out how to to make a odin flashable image myself maybe I could just take my laptop into the att store and use the demo unit.... hrrmmm.. off to google.
I just picked up an 8.9 LTE the other day. I will try and get an Odin dump for you if i can figure this beast out.

I have tried several ways of getting a copy off of it but I have failed for now. I am going to load up a Linux distro on one of my laptops and do a bit of learning. If I can get anywhere with it if will post back here and let you know.

This is confirmed as working to restore your tablet to factory using Odin 1.85 by Croak from the Request thread so download the factory ROM and use Odin to restore your tab to perfect working order.
Last night Da_G was able to root my 8.9 LTE so I think we can get you back in business if you still need the help?

[APP] Latest Google Wallet Aug/01/2012

Pulled this from my Nexus 7. Works on my Nexus S running latest Jellybro Kang. Thought I would share as this version lets you use more than just a Citi or prepaid card.
Version R1.5-R75-v6.apk
I'm not on the nexus s, but do you know if this will work without a data connection? I know the n7 doesn't need one but my gnex does. I'm wondering if you need data for this version to work on a phone.

Maybe I should give it a try.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled. No issues here. Also, I believe it does need data as payment info is stored in the cloud instead of the device itself.

Hmmm... I wonder why it works for the nexus 7 but wouldn't work like that for a phone. I tried to use wallet on my phone in a store the other day and in the middle of authentication I lost signal and had to start over. I may test pulling the wallet apk off my n7 and try installing on my phone to see if it works the same. Thanks guys!

How about networks other than Sprint and AT&T?
Does anybody know if this works on T-Mobile or other "blocked" networks?
Currently I am running the version patched by MoDaCo (1.1-R63-v12 See this thread) on my T-Mobile Nexus S. Unfortunately, this revision doesn't implement the new functionality to use cards other than Mastercard.
Does anyone know if the new apk still contains the device and carrier checks? If so then us T-Mobile people will still need a patched version.
yes it does contain the device/carrier checks... though you could always just try... instead of waiting for an answer... you would have known 5 minutes ago...
I just successfully installed it on my rooted T-Mobile Nexus S. Everything seems to be working fine. That Unsupported Device banner at the top is still there though. I haven't gone out to test it at a payment terminal yet.

The unsupported device warning is because your phone is rooted.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I've been trying tutorials and tricks to get Wallet to install, to no avail, for >hour. This worked perfectly. Can't wait to try it with my Visa card now that they're supported.
Just tried it on the aokp kang on my i9020t on T-Mobile and got insecure element. Had to flash my nandroid that had 1.1 r41v8 installed which is really old unfortunately. Would love to get a newer version working...
Thanks for this. Installed fine and got my cards added on Kali's CM10... Now just have to try it out and see if I can still make purchases.

Unfortunately Google wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile Carrier
Anyone know how to get past this?
Installed on my VZN Nexus with the little banner due to I'm rooted and it seems to work just fine. Let me register, etc. I just have not tried it out at a store yet. We don't have to many places that accept it (or I just don't but a few).
Oh, thanks for the updated .apk Not sure why Verizon is such a [email protected]#$ and not let us use it.

Its fine. It still works fine... they just won't support it if you have an issue. Basically saying they aren't responsible in case something were to happen.

Do unrooted people that are side loading the app still get the message because it wasent installed directly from the app store? I'm scared to do it with the message I would hate to be robbed and have Google tell me eh your rooted.

HTC One, not compatible?

Hi, I'm going to recieve the chromecast tomorrow and I was looking at the google cast app on the playstore and it says that it's not compatible with my device. Has any HTC One owner experienced this? I don't want to sideload it since I want to get notified of the updates...
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yeah country restricted. I set mine up on the One 4.2.2 ARHD 12.
Fwiw you don't need the app for anything. Setup can be done through a web browser. It just makes it easier by automatically connecting to the hotspot and stuff

Received a Google Drive 40GB notification

I recently installed the Bad Boyz 5.5 ROM and a notification popped up that my device is eligible for 25GB of additional Google Drive space, but below that is says that my device couldn't be verified and I should contact a representative. Found some info regarding this here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/updating-htc-sense-55-claim-25gb-free-google-drive-space
BUT... since we're not supposed to have Sense 5.5 yet, I'm not too keen on contacting anyone. Anyone else get this message?
Just got that notice on blink feed today. It showed me the same message as well.

I tried this already and it didn't work... I'm pretty sure it's because our sense 5.5 roms don't have the official firmware for sense 5.5 we have modified sense 5 firmware

Motox gets 50 free gigs. Maybe it would work to add your account to an in-store demo, get the extra space then factory reset

Good idea, was checking one out at Best Buy yesterday, wish I would have thought of this.
According to the article, you need to have Sense 5.5 installed so it would appear that we'll have to wait until there's an OTA update before we can try to claim the additional space.
No, your bootloader needs to be unlocked in order ti claim the bonus. You can just relock the bootloader, claim it and relock again. The downside is that you'll loose all your data

Nofriendsbz3 already tried what you suggested with no luck. There's obviously more to it than the locked bootloader.
1. Go to a retailer of a droid mini or moto X with live demos. (I went to best buy)
2. Add your gmail account
3. Download, open google drive, accept free 50GB.
4. Remove your google account from demo phone.
5. Profit
That's a lot of space. Lol I can't even fill a 16g flash drive.

Funny story... I followed your suggestion on a Moto X at a Verizon store. Got the 50GB notifivation, but couldn't remove my account info from the phone. So I performed a factory reset, just as a sales rep walked up to ask if I had any questions. The phones is showing a "resetting screen" while the rep looks over my shoulder. I said something along the lines of "Oops... I think I hit wrong button.". I set down the demo phone and walk out of the store.
Got 66 GBs now, so no complaints!

Haha awesome. I almost had to do the same but demo mode wanted a password to reset. To remove account, go to settings,account, push your Gmail account where you can select what gets synced, then top right push the 3 dot menu and remove.
