Update: Google has just released another update that was specially rejected to Chromecast users who have reset their devices. According to Google, they have to update their Google Home app to the latest version (3.30.1.6 for Android and 3.30.106 for iOS) in order to set up their Chromecast (2. Gen) or the Chromecast audio device.

The catch is that the new update for the Google Home app introduction may take up to a few days for the introduction to everyone. Even if the provision begins today, not everyone can be downloaded immediately. However, check the Google Play or App Store for the latest version of the app.

Original story: If your Chromecast has stopped afterwards Last week you will be happy to know that Google has finally released a fix. The company's engineers needed a full week to create this correction, which apparently does not fully solve the problem for those who tried to reset the factory during the error removal process.

Although Google recognized the problem with the Chromecast (2nd generation) and Chromecast Audio as soon as the users started reporting it last week Google, but this is probably because the Mountain View company has decided to stop the Chromecast line in favor of the Google TV streamer.

That is, Google announced that a solution to the problem now penetrates Chromecast (2nd generation) and Chromecast audio devices. You can already check the firmware version of your device to determine whether you have received the update that fixes the problem:

• Chromecast (2nd gen): firmware version 1.56.467165
• Chromecast Audio: firmware version 1.56.467166

If none of the two firmware versions are installed in your Chromecast, you will be recommended to restart you to start the update process.

It is also important to mention that Google said that Chromecast users who carried out a factory rest during the error fixed process may still have a problem where you cannot re-adjust the device. Google is actively working on another fix for this problem and offers users the necessary steps as soon as a new update is published.

We sincerely apologize for this disorder and any inconvenience that you may have caused, and we are committed to ensuring that all users are back in operation as soon as possible.

Last week all Chromecast (2nd generation) and Chromecast audio devices stopped because a Google authentication certificate certificate certificate has expired.

The update that Google uses this week shifts the Chromecast devices to a new Google ownership authority with a expiry date that was set for 2045. Similar updates are likely to take place for other Chromecast models, even if Google has decided to set the line-up.
