As far as i know there is no root vulnerable in new chromecasts so its impossible to root,but im not god,maybe sometimes its possible,i do t know.
I've got two rooted Chromecasts in my closet. @ddggttff3 Please let me go back to stock so those old gems can get back to work again. As soon as Netflix stopped working due to old rom they lost their use.
The latest firmware is http://redirector.gvt1.com/edgedl/g....adf9f4e6b7ad7068e5f85dbb375236d5d933031b.zip if you wanted to flash it.
As an alternative I've been using my version https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-124602-2018-08-26-unnamed-test.3834330/ and netflix has been working fine. I should really look at updating it, but I'd rather spend the time on something with an unlocked bootloader.
If I only had known before... but I reverted only one of my Chromecasts yet. I'd really appreciate you updating it
Hey everyone here,
I dont know much about custom Rom of a chromecast,
I was wondering if its possible that i use my chromecast to send a WOL signal to a computer in my network from wan . My Chromcast is the only device that is always on. so i need some hints or answer. turning my computer on from internet is the thing i am looking for. i can use WOL in de network but the challenge is from Internet. and last night it came to my mind that maybe i can use my chromecast as a middle
Anyone has an answer for me ?
Thanks in advanced.

This looks promising and will give it a try soon. But anyway to go back to stock if we need to for any reason?
This was for the original Chromecast circa ~2013, not for current ones.
You can go back, but this is EOL, plus you would need an OG Chromecast that never updated to flash

What is it?
With over 4000 users, Eureka-ROM (formerly PwnedCast) is the de facto third-party Chromecast ROM. Maintained by Team Eureka, this ROM adds features such as SSH and Telnet access, DNS customization, and a web-based configuration panel to the stock Chromecast OS, while maintaining the stock OS's simplicity and ease-of-use.
What does it do?
Along with all the features of the stock OS, Eureka-ROM allows you to
- Use SSH, ADB, or Telnet to access a root shell
- Specify alternate DNS servers to overcome certain region-based restrictions
- Use custom application whitelists to bypass Google's application registration requirements
- Configure the device using a web-based control panel
- View device status and network information
- Enable or disable Team Eureka's OTA updates
- Select which whitelist provider you want to use (Google, Team Eureka, or custom)
- Enable or disable remote services
- Set custom DNS servers
- Reboot and reset your device
Eureka-ROM also includes several internal changes:
- Google's OTA updates are disabled, so your Chromecast won't patch itself.
- Instead, OTA's are delivered by a custom Team Eureka update engine (more information).
- A custom "Team Eureka" boot animation is installed so you can easily determine that your device is running Eureka-ROM.
- The stock recovery image is replaced with FlashCast to further prevent any attempts by Google to patch your device.
- The idle screen URL restriction is removed.
- A custom kernel image is installed to enable the following features:
- Interactive root UART console
- In-OS USB device support
- CIFS/Samba share support
How do I use it?
Installation
- Setup and Install FlashCast v1.2 on a USB drive. This step requires booting your Chromecast once in order to initialize FlashCast. Make sure to follow all the installation instructions given in the FlashCast thread.
- Rename the downloaded Eureka-ROM zip file to eureka_image.zip and place it in the root folder of the FlashCast USB drive.
- Plug the FlashCast USB drive into the Chromecast, hold down the button, and connect power to boot the device. If you attempt to use an earlier version of FlashCast, such as v1.0, the installation will fail.
- Flashing will take about 9 minutes, so be patient! As long as the Chromecast's LED is blinking white, flashing is in progress.
- When done flashing, the device will reboot.
- Enjoy!
Usage
The custom features of Eureka-ROM are configured through the web-based control panel. To access the panel, use a web browser on your computer or phone to connect to the device's IP address. You can determine the IP address using the Chromecast setup application.
Who made it?
The majority of the ROM consists of the stock OS image provided by Google. ROM-specific features were written by members of Team Eureka. We'd like to also thank the GTVHacker team for their initial exploitation and documentation of the Chromecast and the following individuals for their various contributions:
- death2all110
- ften
- tvall
- Anyone else we missed!

If anyone has any bugs to report please PM myself or ddggttff3
Just so everyone knows there is a LOT of changes under the hood for this. It implements the EurekaSettings newly defined standards where configuration settings are held within ini files for user/system data and so settings in Eureka panel will be held in future OTA updates! (my favourite setting).
Whitelisting now is hosted locally on the device and syncs the whitelist from Team Eureka servers so if our servers go offline your device doesn't (and of course you have the option to change this to use Google's whitelist servers, the local file (non syncing) or another web based whitelist of your choice (if anyone ever wants to set one up).
I really hope you all love this as much as we love bringing it to you.36New OTA (44433.001) is now live and will start rolling out shortly!
As for the side project of mine, that is still a few weeks out, but expect that to be my final gift to the Chromecast community once it's complete (it will be in a new thread). With that said, as of now expect no more Eureka-ROM updates, and it's been a pleasure to be a part of this community.
31Just pushed out the first 15250 based OTA. It should hit everyones chromecast within the next 5 days. Sadly, this OTA does not include the new web panel, or the ability to set an ssh password. We are working on finishing those features up, and hope to have an OTA out within a month to add them. Due to so many new apps relying on this OTA, we decided to push one now that has all of the same features as the 14975 build.
We are sorry for making users wait so long for a 15250 based ROM, and we hope you understand.29Hello,
Thread cleaned. I hope everyone has had a chance to cool off.
There was a massive amount of arguing, bickering, profanity and other assorted offensive language. There was also a good deal of entitlement and ETAish type postings.
With the kind of attitudes I've seen on this thread recently, I'm surprised anyone comes to this site to make anything for us. Honestly, if you feel you can make a better rom or mod, then please do.
People do this kind of stuff in their spare time for free and their lives do not revolve around giving us the latest and greatest goodies. Please be happy with what you get and if you're not, either make your own rom or go elsewhere.
A lot of people forget none of these enhancements to our devices have to be made but some of you feel things are owed to you for some reason. No one owes you anything.
If there's an issue with the rom, please let the developers know in a more respectful and polite manner. Bullying people to get things done does not accomplish anything except to make people work slower or give up on the project altogether. If there are bugs or fixes that need to be made, you have no choice but to be patient and to wait for them to be worked out. If you can't wait then, as I said, you can go elsewhere. Please don't use this or any other thread to vent your anger and frustration. It's not fair that a few people have to ruin the experience for the rest the users on this thread.
Please try and be civil and respectful to one another.
Regards...
