Ups, only now I realised. Ctrl + D doesn't work anymore (due to my firmware upgrade I guess).

So, If I install OpenELEC I will reclaim all the disk space? - Which is what I want.
At the end it will be as standalone right?

Thanks

yes, the OpenELEC installer will reformat/use the entire internal hard disk. You are now in a standalone setup, and will remain so until you re-flash the stock firmware and re-load ChromeOS via a factory reset.

After selecting "run installer" the screen went black. I't like this for more than 5 minutes.. Starting to get suspicious

it should pop up immediately. something's not right with the install media, so try again, maybe with another USB stick

[jtadeia]

After 20 minutes, I restarted, Now I don't have openELEC anymore.
I can still boot from the PEN, but when press "run installer", the screen goes black again..

Tried with Sd card and a Pen drive. Will try to find another pen drive

[Matt Devo]

that doesn't make any sense, if the installer didn't run, then the existing install on the hard drive should remain untouched

3rd Pen and still the same, after the first screen, it goes black. Could it be bricked?

I'm using "Win32DiskImager" to load my OpenELEC image. Should I do it differently?

[Matt Devo]

Doubtful. Ensure the disk label for the install media is 'OPENELEC' and rename it even if it is already, then try again

[jtadeia]

Tried that with a new 4th USB FlashPen. Samething.
I there anything else I can do?

I'm using OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-5.0.0-efi.img image

[jtadeia]

When I now try to format the usb flashdrives with HP Tool, I get errors, all of them seem corrupt now. S$%%&#

Additionally, this script must be run immediately after booting, otherwise it may fail to detect the current firmware version.

To do a firmware update on standalone OE set-up, fire up Putty and connect to Host Name = "OpenELEC"? No password needed? When you say "script must be run immediately after booting", do you mean press power on Chromebox and use Putty to connect immediately at that point?

Then, I assume you just type in these commands?

Code:

curl -L -O http://goo.gl/HSZer4
bash HSZer4

Thanks.

[jtadeia]

Thanks for this, I will try. What is the username?

"chronos" doesn't work

[nickr]

If you mean openelec then username root, passwd openelec

[jtadeia]

This one worked. Thanks. Will try to update the script

Nothing to update:

Checking if update available...

You already have the latest firmware

Getting Desperate over here

Since I'm able to access the Asus ChromeBox over ssh, is there a way to manually install OpenELEC?

[Matt Devo]

Firmware and OS are completely separate / distinct. The script only updates the former. OE's wiki tells you how to update it, and there's a link on the Chromebox wiki as well.

If you mean openelec then username root, passwd openelec

Thanks... got it working; updated firmware fine.
