Spare original remote M: G9N9N won't update firmware from 22.2 to actual version. It seems like update bar is complete with tick at the end, but after blinking led on remote is firmware is still 22.2 and need to update. I've executed all suggestions from google support, such as forgeting, rebooting, restoring factory settings both chromecast remote and dongle without success.

Remote doesn't work after while and need to reinstalling batteries.

Hello mrazjan,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I understand that your Chromecast isn't updating its firmware. I know that can be frustrating; no worries, I'm here to help! I need to ask some questions to understand your situation better.

 

  • When you check the firmware version in the Google Home app, what is the full firmware version number that you see? To check please follow the next steps.

 

On your phone or tablet, tap and hold the Chromecast icon in the Google Home app. Then, tap Settings > Device Information. Under "Technical information," check for "Cast firmware: X.XXX.XXXXX." If the device is on Fuchsia, check for "System firmware version: X.XXXXXXXX.X.XXXXXXXX."

 

  • What Google Nest  Chromecast model do you have?
  • Let me know what LED light you see streaming device when you try the next steps.

 

To check for updates manually, go to the home screen of your Chromecast and choose All settings > System > About > System update.

 

I look forward to your response.

 

Regards,

Manuel
