There is no working 'sudo'.
On debian/ubuntu/all general purpose linux distributions 'sudo'
allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser
or another user, as specified by the security policy
With OpenELEC you have root access by default, so you dont need 'sudo'
I have used putty before but not a pro, what do i need to do here?
Thanks
Run it without sudo. Just
bash 3Tfu5W
the main EZ setup script cannot be run under OpenELEC because it lacks a bash shell; he has to use the standalone updater script as I mentioned previously

I've tried 4Gb, 8 Gb, and 16 Gb flash drives (Lexar). I've tried using the Chrome recovery tool in ChromeOS as well as downloading the image, renaming the extension from .BIN to .IMG, and writing it to a USB drive using Win32 Disk Imager. As soon as I enter recovery mode, I insert the USB, and absolutely nothing happens. I've left it in for hours. Not sure what else to try at this point.
I've never seen it not respond at all, usually it will detect the media and either start the recovery process, or give an error like 'the USB stick you have connected does not contain a ChromeOS recovery image"
