Thanks... I reverted two of my original Chromecasts after they started having all sorts of issues and wouldn't even boot. This flash image worked perfectly and all devices are now up to date and ready to cast.

Revert to Stock

Hey,

I'd also like to revert to stock my chromecast 1st generation, since the latest eureka rom is based on the 2015 firmware...

Could someone please send me the revert to stock zip-package as well?

Thanks a lot

Cheers

Thx mate. Since autoroot doesn't seem to work with latest 1.24.88007 update for chromecast (it broke mine), reverting to stock is the only option to have a working streaming gadget :)

Cheers

Likewise , many thanks for posting the Back to Stock link. My CC would not work with the Flashcast-AutoRoot method. I'm now working again fine with the official ROM, and my laptop can once again cast. Shame that I had to do that, but no choice in the matter.

I am trying to flash back to Stock firmware and having some issues. I cannot figure out how to copy the stock files to my chromecast. I can SSH into the chromecast but I cannot use WinSCP or pscp to transfer any files over. WinSCP tells me "Cannot execute SCP to start transfer. Please make sure that SCP is installed on the server and path to it is included in PATH. You may also try SFTP instead of SCP.
Command failed with return code 127.
"
It seems like SCP is not installed on the remote side and I do not know how to install it. Would really appreciate any help on this.

IIRC, you need to re-flash the stock rom just as if you were flashing the eureka rom from stock via an OTG cable & USB drive. Maybe the video in this post will help.

I just downloaded the file and the checksums do not match (MD5 for instance is 1414ba17811b797e820236678fa1d533).

    I've got you lads covered.

    Here is the "back to stock" zip image. Note: This is a one-way road which will PERMANENTLY remove root forever with no way back. But it seems these days that having root on the Chromecast is more hassle and trouble than just rolling stock anyway:

    http://www27.zippyshare.com/v/6d9333oy/file.html (if multiple download buttons appear, you want the big orange one toward the top right)

    All you need to do to get back is follow the same procedure you used to gain root (meaning you will need your powered OTG cable again). Use this short and clear video guide to walk you through it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6c34jqFHxY

    Download the files he links in the description of that guide and follow the full procedure with one exception: When you get to 3:20 in the video, rather than use the zip file he provides, use mine linked above instead (it's perfectly safe and was sent to me a while back by ddggttff3 himself). Make sure you rename my linked zip exactly to eureka_image.zip just like in the video. Repeat the FULL procedure for any additional chromecasts you want to unroot.

    Once you get through the setup and fully booted up you will be on a really old version of the chromecast software. Depending on your internet speed, just leave it on and after a while Google will update it behind the scenes automatically. Then, once you reboot it again, you should be on the working latest chromecast software version without the root shenanigans.

    Good luck!


    PS - If your chromecast is taking forever to pull an update and isn't able to cast because of it, you can typically force an update by doing the following:

    1) Download and install Git for Windows: https://git-scm.com/download/win
    2) Open Git Bash
    3) Paste the following text in a notepad or document: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"params": "ota foreground"}' http://192.168.1.100:8008/setup/reboot -v
    4) Replace the numbers after http:// with the EXACT IP address of your chromecast (which can be found if you open the Google Home app on your phone and selecting your chromecast and going into settings, then look at the very bottom). Leave the :8008 at the end after the IP address. Highlight all this text and copy it
    5) Go back to Git Bash you opened earlier and right click then hit paste, then hit enter
    6) You should see a bunch of quick text in Git Bash then your chromecast screen should begin the update animation
    7) Let it sit for a few minutes and see if it starts and if it does then let it finish. If it gets stuck at 0% then either reboot the chromecast by pulling the plug, or by rebooting via the Google Home app and that should kick off the update once it starts to boot back up

    I'd also like a copy of the stock image.
    Also, how does one use stock-revert_eureka_image.zip to go back to pure stock?
    Thanks!
    Can you PM me the link too?
    I'd like the link too, please. I'd rather stay with Eureka, but if it continues to fall behind the stick features, I will need to every someday.
    I would like to have the revert image as well. Can you send me a PM?
    @mathorv - I am also interested in a link please.
    Sent PMs to all of you.
