[ROM][44433] Stock OS with updates disabled
- Thread starter Team-Eureka
- Start date
Live has been busy. I will get around to making one for the latest OTA this weekend.
26653 is up. I skipped 25525, but if anyone wants it let me know directly.
Also, I have copies of every Chromecast OTA between build 12819 all the way to 26653, so if anyone wants to take a look, feel free to PM me about that as well. - ddggttff3

1. In order to flash Erureka-MOD or Eureka stock up disabled mod you need to root your chromecast

2. It's most likely not possible at the moment(read link above). Google updates are intentionally preventing rooting capabilities. So you would have to block google update servers on your router and wait.
3. Also before asking any other questions please read THE INDEX THREAD:

Kinda seems that way, doesn't it? I'm thinking about just flashing back to 100% stock - there doesn't seem to be any reason to keep root at this point. Especially with the whitelist issue.
I think they stopped working on new features for Chromecast, but AFAIK they purposely opted for not update to a couple stock updates 3xxxx builds since they were bricking some devices. There are a few bad feedbacks about the last builds. People reported device bricking and other losing YouTube cast functionality.
IMO, one of the best eureka ROM feature is google auto update disabled.
I know that TE intentionally skipped one iteration. But three updates have past. Chromecast with recovery is simply unbrickable. I am amazed why there are no new stock with updates disabled where it is no risk at all.
It's the same what I suggested before that eureka mod with eureka updates should be divided to stable and beta branches.
On the other hand I understand lack of commitment because of low interest in the project.
Actually, I got one of my rooted Chromecast bricked in early builds (with recovery). Fortunately I got it hard unbricked by forcing it to boot from USB (where there was another recovery and a ROM to reflash it). I had to open the Chromecast and short two CPU pins. There's a tutorial made by @ddggttff3 over there.
the last release, 44433, has been posted. To create new builds in the future, I recommend using the Eureka-ROM repo from https://github.com/team-eureka/Eureka-ROM with the 02make-minimal.sh script.

10What is it?
This is a FlashCast mod to give your Chromecast a nearly stock OS. Although Team Eureka (obviously) believes that the features we've added to Eureka-ROM make it superior to the stock OS, we realize that it's not for everyone. Perhaps you want a clean base to develop from, or maybe you want want to try out a new feature from Google before Eureka-ROM is updated. Either way, the last thing we want to do is force you to use a ROM you don't want. To that end, this ROM is completely stock, save for two modifications:
- update_engine is removed so that your vulnerable bootloader is preserved.
- FlashCast is installed to the recovery partition instead of the stock recovery, to mitigate any bootloader updates Google may try to push through other methods.
Where do I get it?

MD5: e8a51bdbcd4e96da3a13b539ca314da48If we are currently still running the Eureka ROM based on 14975 and using the custom whitelist feature that you guys integrated into the 14975 Eureka ROM image, would it CURRENTLY be possible for us to take advantage of all these new apps that are going to be flooding the Google Play Store/Chrome(PC browser apps/extensions) Web Store, or MUST our Chromecast be the newest updated version 15250(with either a future Eureka ROM update to 15250, by flashing this "nearly stock OS build" 15250, or simply someone just has a stock, NON-rooted Chromecast that has taken all the OTA updates and has recently updated itself via an OTA to the newest stock 15250 firmware build) ? I understand that by using Eureka ROM's "custom whitelist" that you guys manually update the whitelist yourselves and it's obviously not physically possible to update your whitelist fast enough to keep up with the "stock Google whitelist," thus always lagging slightly behind the stock Google whitelist AND quite possibly accidentally leaving out some of the lesser-known Android apps and/or Chrome Apps and/or Chrome Extensions that have been added by Google to their stock whitelist, due to the simple fact that you guys just haven't learned of them yet or just haven't been told of them yet?
Basically, if one wants to be able to take advantage of all these new apps that will be flooding Google's stock Chromecast whitelist over the coming weeks/months, etc., to cover all our bases right now so that we're not either hoping that you guys find out about lesser-known apps such as, for a hypothetical example: XCompany's "FancySchmancy Chromecast Media Caster", should we use this upload that you posted so that we're on the newest 15250 and use the stock Google whitelist? Or is it still possible to take advantage of the new apps that the released SDK is gonna bring to us if we're on the older 14975 firmware and disabling your Eureka custom whitelist and instead using the stock Google whitelist? ie. [Eureka 14975 ROM]/[stock Google whitelist] ?
1. Any new apps that use the new API will not be available in the current Eureka-ROM that is based on 14975. This is because the new API is not enabled in its Eureka_shell binary, which is the program on the device that literally runs almost every application.
2. Our custom whitelist is no longer a manual entry process, and auto updates when google pushes new applications. This means rooted devices now get apps just as fast as stock devices, as long as they are on a ROM version that supports said application.
3. Disabling the custom whitelist on the 14975 based rom will not allow you to use the V2 API apps, as I stated in #1
We are working on a new version of Eureka-ROM, but are just having a few small things hold us back. This is why the release is taking longer then normal, and as such, we released this minimal image for those who would like to update for the time being.6the last release, 44433, has been posted. To create new builds in the future, I recommend using the Eureka-ROM repo from https://github.com/team-eureka/Eureka-ROM with the 02make-minimal.sh script.5526653 is up. I skipped 25525, but if anyone wants it let me know directly.
Also, I have copies of every Chromecast OTA between build 12819 all the way to 26653, so if anyone wants to take a look, feel free to PM me about that as well. - ddggttff3
