Linux ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21]
PLEASE HELP WITH UNINSTALLATION OF KODI!

Hi, I bought a chromebox and somebody installed openelec/kodi on it. It looks like the standalone version, as I cannot get it to boot to ChromeOS in any fashion.

Here's what I've tried:

I tried making a LinuxLive USB image on a USB drive with http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/help/guide/preparation. When it finishes, the folder on the drive is named Virtualbox and in that folder is another folder named virtualbox-portable and 2 exe files named VirtualBox.exe and virtualize_this_key.exe. I can run the files in windows, but that doesn't help me with the chromebox. When I try to boot from this USB drive on my chromebox, nothing happens.


Additionally, I created an image file from http://kodi.wiki/view/Chromebox (https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chromeos...mp.bin.zip)
, the asus chromebox image file. I burned it to a USB drive with WinImage file.

So I have 2 usb drives, and neither allows me to boot to a shell or somehow go to chromeos. The LinuxLive USB drive is not recognized at the boot screen before Kodi, and the stock image file usb drive also doesn't boot or give me a shell (although it is recognized but when I select the drive, it cannot boot and boots from the hard drive instead).

I have also tried a third usb drive using Google's chromebook recovery tool for asus chromebox. The USB drive is not immediately recognized as a bootable drive, and when i press escape or control+D to force it to recognize other drives, it doesn't recognize this third drive.

Help me please! I am going out of my mind with this and just want ChromeOs on this device
