Hello! Guys I'm in so much trouble here. I really hope you can help me.

I have an Asus Chromebox. Had the dual setup, then attempted to go for the standalone. Did the factory reset, firmware backup, flashed the custom firmware but something went wrong, cause now It won't boot.

if you did a factory reset (which you didn't need to do before switching to a standalone setup), then you no longer have OpenELEC installed, so you need to install it, just like you would if you'd never done the dual boot setup before

I tried booting from a usb stick with Chromium, but couldn't, cause I forgot to reset the boot options, and I can't choose the usb drive. I press Escape but nothing happens, the boot menu disappears in a second, goes directly to the hard dirve.


Please tell me there is another way to boot from an external drive, so I can restore the firmware backup I got here. Or what can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

no, the boot options have no effect now - you wiped them out when you installed the custom firmware. You're not getting a boot menu b/c the ChromeBox doesn't like your USB stick for whatever reason. All you need to do now is create an OpenELEC usb installer by following the instructions on the OpenELEC wiki, which are linked from the ChromeBox wiki. If it doesn't work with one USB stick, try another or a SD card instead. Once you get OE (re)installed everything will be fine
