What if you already factory reset your Chromecast?

Google fixed the Chromecast issue with an update, but if you reset it to factory settings, the problem persists
Many users tried to solve the problem with a factory reset, but this measure left the devices unusable. By doing so, the Chromecast can't complete the initial setup, preventing its use.
Google reported that it will soon provide specific instructions for affected users to set up their devices again. Meanwhile, it advised waiting for the official update before attempting a new installation.
The solution is already underway, and it is expected that all devices will be functioning without issues in the coming days.
Second-generation Chromecast and Chromecast Audio users were unable to use their devices after receiving a message indicating "untrusted device". This prevented them from executing any function.
The problem was caused by the expiration of an authentication certificate, which blocked the connection to Google's servers. After several complaints, the company released a firmware update that fixes the issue.
Google recommended not performing a factory reset, as this could cause more complications. Instead, it confirmed that the solution comes through an automatic firmware update.
Users who haven't reset their device should receive the update without needing to make any manual adjustments. This will allow their Chromecast to function normally again.
