Sorry but you could try and sell the one you have and buy a NIB CCast to rot before it updates this time...
Or find a friend who wants one but doesn't want root and then Swap before he plugs it in and updates.
Thanks. Do you think the refurbished ones would be good for me? Or is it better to go to a B&M that doesn't get s lot of traffic and take my chances grabbing one off the shelf?Sorry but you could try and sell the one you have and buy a NIB CCast to rot before it updates this time...

Excellent. TY.I doubt very Highly that any NIB model has an unrootable OS right now....
A refurb might but not a New In Box.
But don't wait too long because no one knows ow much older stock is left on store shelves before they start restocking with new models for X-Mas.

Yep, you can walk into a store and buy one rootable in the box. I picked up one from Best Buy off the shelf today, and have a rooted one now.
I looked for 3C as the first two characters of the serial number.

Tutorial for Chromecast development
Chromecast: Getting started
Custom whitelist (ie, use other apps-in-development like Vbukit) and change DNS...I fail to see the purpose of a rooted chromecast anymore. Can anyone explain what you can do with a rooted chromecast that you can't do with a normal one. I could see the point of wanting local playback before but we've had it for a while now.
