Only problem is the 16GB SSD is too small to be able to run a restore from backup within LE. I’m thinking about replacing the SSD with a 32GB or maybe 64. That part will be simple. Not sure what I’ll need to do to be able to run the EZ Setup Script on the new drive though? Hopefully once I get LE re-installed I can just restore my Kodi settings from backup?There's no need to run the EZ setup script, that's for the system firmware, which is unaffected by swapping in a larger SSD.
Simply boot a Linux live USB, mount your LE storage partition, and back it up to another USB, network share, eg. That's all the LE backup function does, it puts the .cache, .config, and .kodi folders from /storage into a tar file. You can do that manually from a Linux live usb and then restore after doing a clean install of LE on the new SSD (just create install media using the LE USB/SD creator tool)

Also, does Linux Galium support cast option ? (Does it make it castable for youtube, spotify, etc..)
Thanks.. !

As for version, I've always kept LibeElec up to date, but I'd guess firmware was from around Summer 2016.

Box is a CN60 Asus Chromebox
Write protect screw has been taken out
I have tried to do a full factory reset to Chrome but it seems I cant, I used the rest function to try and boot chrome install from USB but it gets to the chrome flash screen then just reboots. I am trying to get into to Chrome to force the box to boot from USB/Linux then use the Firmware utility script to reset to default and start from there to install Libre//.
Have tried several USBs, bluetooth keyboard (Now on wired) and getting nowhere. I don't get the boot function CTRL D at boot...see attached pic - any ideas please?
Here is the boot screen that flashes for about 1 second, was hard to get a photo of it - https://imgur.com/8z4PyES

ok, so here's what's going on: you restored the (broken) stock SeaBIOS, and have it set to auto boot in Legacy mode, so SeaBIOS is trying/failing to boot ChromeOS.
here's what you need to do:
- boot ChromeOS via CTRL+D before it auto boots in Legacy mode/into SeaBIOS
- run my firmware utility script per wiki instructions
- flash custom coreboot firmware (UEFI)
- create LibreELEC install media (using my script or the LE USB creator tool)
- reboot, install LE from USB
if the Chromebox boots into Recovery Mode when you hit CTRL+D, then use recovery media to restore ChromeOS first, then follow my instructions above.

Followed the instructions to remove the write protection screw, put in developer mode, and performed a factory reset.sounds like you enabled the debugging features after switching to Developer mode. Do a Recovery mode reset and it should work afterwards
For some reason when I press Ctrl+Alt+F2 it doesn't bring up the command prompt. I'm forced to log in and use Ctrl+Alt+T and use the shell command. This allows me to run the script, but it asks for a password. I have tried no password and "password", but they do not work. Anyone have this issue?
