The Google Chromecast HD has the possibility of unlocking the bootloader

If there is something that an enthusiast likes more than using the latest technology available on the market, without a doubt it is messing with herand that is what the Google Chromecast HD with Google TV seems to bring to the table, because unlike the Chromecast 4K, that officially does not support unlocking your bootloader, this time doing it is very simple.

As we have been able to find in more than one terminal, it is as simple as accessing the developer settings and activating the option “Allow OEM unlock”, something that opens the doors to being able to install a custom ROM on this device, in addition to making changes taking advantage of Root access capabilities.

As it is an inexpensive device, barely 30 dollars, the fear of damaging it is also less, and although it is a device with less power and RAM memory than the 4K model, the latter does not make it so easy when it comes to unlocking it, having to take advantage of a vulnerability that can eventually be patched.

All this, together with hardware support for decoding AV1 videos, in addition to its A/B partition scheme, makes this Chromecast quite an interesting device for hackers who want to dare with him.
