I followed the instructions to a T for a standalone OpenELEC setup on my Dell Chromebox.
After creating the install media on an SD card, I rebooted but nothing came up! It was a blank screen on my computer monitor (hdmi) even after waiting ~10min. I even tried to connect to a tv (hdmi) and still blank.
So I freaked out a little and shut it down and tried to boot with the recovery button held, but same blank screen at boot.
Then I tried Matt's solution by blindly hitting 'esc' and then '2' a few times, but still nothing.
I even tried inserting the recovery usb but the led on the usb drive just flashes endlessly and nothing happens!
I'd appreciate any help!
the recovery button has no function now that you've flashed my custom firmware; likewise, the ChromeOS recovery media isn't usable.
If the firmware update process reported success, then there's pretty much zero chance that the box is bricked.
You're using the HDMI output of the box, connected directly to the HDMI input of the monitor?
After powering on the box, if you press the power button, does it power off immediately, or do you have to hold it?
