[Flashcast] Change DNS to use DHCP

As requested by some users, here is a flashcast mod that will allow the chromecast to use DHCP provided DNS servers instead of the hard-coded Google DNS Servers. Expect this mod to be in all future releases of my rooted system images!
NOTE: This is NOT a standalone ROM, just a add-on, so you will need to have a rooted system image already installed to use this. Enjoy!
Download Here: https://mega.co.nz/#!wNs0QSya!bV8dD2H1CdfVPorrjWnRXzyfLXw171Zsj3L88fihZaQ
Install Instructions:
Setup and Install Flashcast on a Jump Drive: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452838
Download, and put eureka_image.zip on your Flashcast jump drive.
Plug the Flashcast jump drive into the chromecast, hold the button, and plug in power to boot the device.
Flashing will take 3~ minutes, be patient! As long as the chromecast LED is white, it is working.
Once done, the device will reboot and you are good to go.

Revert To Stock: https://mega.co.nz/#!xUUzwbLI!MdAUAGnlls3tCDAlgaLE_0USGAZrRn2ZudlmiJS4i3E (This will make your chromecast use Google's DNS servers again)

Thanx for THIS^^^^^^^^:thumbup:

This works well, i might just use this method rather than the harcoded dns servers images.
As such i wouldn mind if you make dhcp dns a default from now on.

Thanks ddggttff3, sorry for asking complete dumb question here.
I have copied flashcast-1.0.bin to my usb disk using win32diskimager. But how do I copy this rom to the same usb driver? Once I wrote the usb with flashcast-bin file, pc is not recognizing USB at all.
Can you please help?

You need to boot the Chromecast once using the USB Drive so it can set up the filesystem. After that, your computer will recognize it and you can copy the mod. Please read the first post in my FlashCast thread carefully.

Does this have any current benefits, such as allowing us to use the blocked aircast app? Or is this like the other mods which is for any potential future developments?

Just read OP carefully, this is NOT a full ROM, just a mod. This should be used on top of a rooted system, like my 13300 image, so the chromecast is protected from getting Googles OTA updates.

This MOD just makes it so the chromecast uses the router's advertised DNS Servers. Currently, the only benefit to this is for people who have custom DNS Servers defined on their router to get access to Netflix/Services if they are in a territory that does not normally support it. If you live in the US, and don't use custom DNS Servers, then this won't make any difference.
It pretty much just makes the chromecast work like a normal, proper DHCP device.

Thanks ddggttff3,
Unfortunately for me, its not working. Maybe im not so good at rooting stuff .
However hard I trychromecast led is still red. I tried with both USB hub and Powered OTG cable.
Initially i tried with extracting the flacast.zip file and writing the bin file to USB, but it failed, red led. Even after holding the button and plugging in the power.
Then I tried with writing the zip file to to USB using windwisk imager, same red led when power is on. just for the sake of it I used DD in mac os to write the flashcat.zip file to USB. same situation
As soon as I plug the power in( from pc usb) the led just glows white/red and then stays red , even after holding the button before plugging in the power and holding it for next 1 min.
Am I doing anything wrong here? . my chromecast version is 13300. I don't live in the US, so for me this ROM would have easily helped me watch netflix, since I have proxy dns setup in my router.
Please advice
Thank you.

Is your Chromecast running a stock or a rooted ROM? If it's stock 13300, you can't use this or any other FlashCast mod since the bootloader vulnerability which FlashCast uses is not present. If it's already rooted and you still have a vulnerable bootloader, you need to make sure you're using WinDiskImager or dd to write the .bin (not the .zip) file to your USB drive.

Thanks tchebb,
my chromecast is running on stock rock 13300, never rooted. So I guess there is not much luck for me here
Thanks all for the responses, hope ddggttff3 comes up with some way to root stock 13300. Will keep watching the threads.

Firstly, thanks very much for all your efforts. I'm getting a Chromecast today and am eager to root it and get Unlocator set up. But would it be possible to keep a version of a rooted image that doesn't use the router-assigned DNS? Reason is that I and many others in the UK have Virgin for an ISP. But the Virgin router doesn't let you change the router's DNS (at least not without connecting a second router).
Thanks.

You can always just flash my UnLocator DNS mod on top of any chromecast ROM, and that would remove the DHCP mod

A million thanks for this, my internet connects via PPTP and a set DNS so without this my CC would be trash. Works like a charm!

LCD broke and USB debugging off

I need help with this desperately, so please bear with me.
For some reason my USB debugging was turned off. I dropped my phone about a foot onto wood floor with a case and the LCD broke. Phone still works as I'm getting notifications and connects to my PC.
Won't show the files because USB debugging is off.
Pretty sure I can't get a cable and hook it up to my TV because its not supported without rooting or without downloading an app which I cannot do, obviously.
So am I done for or is there a way to help me?
I saw somethings here and there but nothing was really detailed or what to do if USB debugging was not enabled.
Please help me!
Thanks.
EDIT: I have not tried recovery mode yet because the phone still has a charge and I'm not sure if that will work anyway

There is no LCD on this phone
So what are you trying to do? Get the files off your phone? Please can you answer the questions below?
- Is the bootloader unlocked?
- Is the device encrypted?
- Does the device have a screen lock?

Device is working properly and it does not have a screen lock.
I just need to access the file that are on the phone

Not sure about the other 2. It's a stock Nexus 6.
When I plug the phone into the computer it says 'no files' which is because usb debugging is off.
So how would I be able to get the files off the phone?

If its on marshmallow, it will be because the default menu option is USB for charging not MTP transfer.
Have you got twrp? Could try and mount the partition for data, not sure if its possible without a working screen though!

No, you need USB debugging for everything except browsing the files, but as mentioned on Marshmallow when you plug a device in, there is a notification you have to select to allow you to set it to allow that.
If touch works, you might be able to do it, with some guidence / screenshots from Marshmallow userrs.

I got the USB issue sorted out tho.
Follow this steps
1. Go to settings, scroll down to "System"; select "About Phone".
2. Tap Build number about 7 times until "You are now a builder" pops up.
3. Go back to Systems and select "Developer options"
4. Turn the switch on then scroll down to "Debugging"
5. Turn on "USB debugging"
6. Scroll down to "Networking" and tap "Select USB Configuration".
7. Select "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol).
8. Connect your phone to the USB cable and plug into your computer.
Note: If it doesn't connect after this, reboot your phone and connect it again to your computer.
Please let me know if this worked. Thanks

I wrote this in another thread with similar problem, i'll do a copy-pasta here..
Infinix's 5.1.1 has a half-hearted multiuser feature. they fix it in 6.0, and the fix further create this stupid problem.
sdcard is only a link, a shortcut, and the real location which the shortcut pointed got moved.
it is originally in /data/media in 5.1.1, move to /data/media/0 in 6.0. only the link moved, not the content, so you will not see them. you need root to move them to the right place.

Just have to ask, apart from the issues you've mentioned does marshmallow have any other issues on the hot 2?
Thanks

Marshmallow on hot 2 came to me with battery issues which am yet to solve. My battery does not charge beyond 88 percent no matter how long it stays plugged in. Any advice?

The proximity sensor also seems to not work. I tested it with All-In-One-Toolkit which recognizes it, but the sensor doesn't interact with apps.

Themes / Apps / Mods Samsung Quick Share 4 All (use it on non-Samsung PCs)

Important update 2022-04-26, click here to read​---
SamsungQuickShare4All​This tiny batch script makes Samsung Quick Share working on non-Samsung Windows PCs by spoofing a registry value that the program checks when opening.
Usage​Download the script here and just run it (it could ask for admin rights). You'll only need to run it once, after that it'll automatically launch itself after every startup/reboot.
How to download Quick Share​If you want the latest Store version go here, paste the store link of the app, click the checkmark, scroll down, download the one named SAMSUNGELECTRONICSCoLtd.SamsungQuickShare_xxxxxxxx_neutral_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.msixbundle (the only one that ends with .msixbundle), then open it and install it. You won't need to download every update like this, it'll automatically update from the Microsoft Store when there is a new version.
Remember that your phone's screen needs to be on and unlocked to be discoverable from your PC (unfortunately it's a limitation of Quick Share itself)!
Troubleshooting​All should work fine just by running the .bat file, but if you're having issues try applying DriverCheckBypass.reg (just run the file, then Yes and then Ok), especially if your PC doesn't have an Intel AX wireless adapter (e.g. Intel AC/Broadcom/Realtek/Marvell etc.).
Keep in mind that latest versions from the Store could contain patches to this method, so if you encounter any issue download this older version here.
Disclaimer​Keep in mind that Samsung could fix this any time. So, if it doesn't work, probably they have fixed it. However, as of 11/7/2021, I can confirm that it works perfectly (doesn't display the unsupported device error and file sharing works both sending and receiving), tested on Lenovo Yoga C940 with Intel AX201 wireless adapter (support for other adapters cannot be guaranteed). Also, I'm not responsible for any loss or damage.
Download​You can download it here!

Samsung Quick Share 4 All​This tiny script makes Samsung Quick Share working on non-Samsung Windows PCs by spoofing a registry value that the program checks when opening. This repository includes:
a .bat Batch version of the script (run as admin);
a .ps1 PowerShell version of the script (run ad admin);
a .xml Task Scheduler task to make it launch at startup (check "run with highest privileges" when creating/importing the task). The task is configured to run the .bat version of the script, but you can change it to run the .ps1 one if you like.
Disclaimer​Keep in mind that Samsung could fix this any time. So, if it doesn't work, probably they have fixed it. However, as of July 1st 2021, I can confirm that it works perfectly (doesn't display the "device not compatible" error and file sharing works both sending and receiving). Also, I'm not responsible for any loss or damage.

Good morning, yes, you need to turn on BT on both PC and phone, as well as Quick Share on your phone. The first time you'll send a file, it could ask you to pair your devices via bluetooth.

If the transfer shows "failed" or never completes, try going to Bluetooth settings and unpairing the devices, and then retrying sending a file, it will ask to pair again. Also: do you have Intel wireless drivers? And which version of Quick Share are you using (the latest one from Store or the older one)?

Yes, they restrict allowed drivers to the ones that come with their Galaxy Book devices, which is AX series, so try applying DriverCheckBypass.reg file and then retry. Don't worry, it won't install anything and won't mess with your drivers, it will just create the registry keys and values that the app checks regarding drivers. However, thanks for reporting!

Seems like an issue unrelated to Quick Share, but to exclude it completely try these possible solutions:
- try to pair the PC with another phone
- if the driver is not Intel AXxxxx try installing the DriverCheckBypass.reg file
- the unsuccessful pairing is the one that asks when you try sending a file with QS, right? If yes, try to pair it manually in Windows bluetooth settings
- which version did you try? The latest one or the older one? If you are trying the first then try the latter and viceversa.

Hi how are things.

Magisk?
if you have magisk, from there you can start.

No root, obviously, otherwise there is a ton of apps for booting in recovery.

1.connect usb cable to pc.
2.connect cable to s20 fe.
(wait for the battery percentage to appear.
3. press volume + and power at the same time (it will turn off after 2 seconds, keep pressing, until the s20 logo appears

Hi guys, I have the exact same problem (no root, Android 13 update from 1st of March) and your solution doesn't work. It doesn't want to go into recovery or download mode whatever combinations I try. Do you have any advices?

if your team is business, it will not work.
There are variants that are blocked by companies.
If that's your case, you can't this way.
Several teams have already passed with that detail.

No, it is and it was a personnal one. Unless you mean blocked by mobile operator.

There are teams that your work gives you. (companies, corporations, etc.)
They send to ask for the equipment with Samsung, they block the access to recovery and download.
In my repair shop, Samsung equipment arrives with that block.
In your case, you say that it is not business, I don't know what causes your problem.

keep trying
I put the cable into the PC, halfway plug the cable into the phone while it's turned off. then I start holding volume up plus power for recovery and then push the cable all the way into the phone immediately after.

Ok. Thank you both for the help. I'll try this method as well.

Found out why the recovery mode didn't want to turn on. The cable was just for charging :/ Plugged in another one and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all the help guys.

I just joined. I can not see where I start a new thread to ask a question.
Can someone direct me?
BTW - My problem is I installed Fire Toolbox, It ran once and now only open a gray box on the sceen and freezes. Rebooted , uninstalled - reinstalled, tried diff versions...?
