Hey guys,
Totally feeling crappy about what I did yesterday on my chromebox. I'm a little bit embarrassed and ashamed to be posting but feel like if I don't I'll just have an expensive paperweight. So here it goes.
I chose to install Kodibuntu (standalone) from Matt Devo. Anyways I got to the point where it wants you to back up the existing firmware in case you want to go back to default settings. Guess what? I used that usb to create another copy of chrome os recovery. It just hit me that I wiped the firmware I created and now want to go back to. Are you following?
Basically I wiped the firmware of the original chrome os and have unbuntu installed. I don't like it. I want to default to factory settings but the dev mode doesn't work and recovery of chrome os is not working. I'm wondering if anyone knows a site where I can get the original Chrome OS firmware for the chromebox cn60 (ASUS) and how to boot it from what situation I am in now? Basically when I turn the machine on it shows a screen where I can push escape to select boot options otherwise it just keeps resetting itself and goes infinitely in the reboot process.
Thanks in advance for any help.
