How To Root Your Google Chromecast Easily
How To Root Your Google Chromecast Easily
And today we come in with another Root, and we are proud to inform you that GTVHacker, and Team-Eureka have jointly discovered and exploited a new vulnerability in the Chromecast which allows root access on the current software build (17977) as well as new in box devices. Check here
Requirements
* Chromecast Device
* Teensy 2 or 2++
* Teensy 2 - https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy.html
* Teesny 2++ - https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensypp.html
* Teensy Loader - https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html
* 1GB+ Flashdrive
* Files included in the zip
Instructions
1. First install the appropriate Teensy Root Package on your device.
* If New In Box device, use 12940 otherwise use 16664.
* Use plusplus_*.hex for 2++ model and regular_* hex for 2 model
2. Next using Win32Disklamger or dd, install the Flashcast Image to the 1G+ Flashdrive.
3. Then plug in the Teensy to a USB OTG Cable, and plug it into the Chromecast while holding down the reset button.
* The Teensy light should start flashing, If not, try the process again. After 30 seconds, it should go solid orange and the Chromecast LED should turn white.
4. Unplug the Teensy, then plug in the flashdrive loaded with Flashcast into the OTG cable, and then press the Chromecast button again.
* If you used the 12940 image, the LED should turn white. If you used the 16664 image, the LED should stay dim red.
5. After about 5 mins, the chromecast should reboot and your device should now be rooted.
As per the Root method you will have to use a powered OTG cable and will not work over a USB Hub. This is because the teensy needs to be directly connected to the Chromecast to work and can not go over a USB hub.
And In order to confirm that youre device is being rooted, just plug it on to your TV and you should see a flash message showing that your device is being rooted. If no Unplug your chromecast and try again.
