I'm not sure what I need to do to create the OpenELEC install media. I followed your wiki to great success for the initial install, but now I'm stumped, could you help me with the steps I need to use your script to reinstall OpenELEC please?

...
the reason I ended up with Ubuntu installed was following these steps, the BOLD bit (I guess I misunderstood them). I now don't have the Ubuntu boot USB, as I tried to use Google utility to make a bootable USB to get back to Chrome OS. So now I'm back at the SeaBIOS black screen.

Quote:If you have standalone setup, it is necessary to restore the stock firmware before performing a factory reset to reload ChromeOS.
In order to do this, you will need to download/run the ChromeOS device Firmware Utility script and select the appropriate option from the menu. The script will give you the option to restore from either a backup file from USB (which you created before originally flashing the custom coreboot firmware) or from a generic copy extracted from Google's recovery image. Like the Kodi EZ Setup Script, this script must be run from a Linux terminal with a full bash shell; OpenELEC users will need to boot a Linux Live USB (Ubuntu 14.04.2 64-bit works fine) from which to run the script. Just download the ISO of and write it to USB using Win32DiskImager (from Windows) or dd (Linux/MacOS).

Boot the Linux live USB, then open a terminal/shell window
Download and run the ChromeOS device Firmware Utility script using the following two commands (hit enter after typing each command):
curl -L -O https://goo.gl/1hFfO3
sudo bash 1hFfO3
Select option 3, Restore Stock Firmware
Choose whether to restore from a backup file on USB or not
If not, select your ChromeBox model so the appropriate firmware can be downloaded

UPDATE - I think I've successfully reinstalled OpenELEC. Thanks.
Main TV: LibreELEC 7.0.1 / Kodi 16.1, with Xonfluence skin on Asus Chromebox (1.4GHz, 4Gb RAM, 64Gb SSD) + DVB-S and DVB-T with TVH.
Plus testing v17 nighlies on Macbook, and using Estuary skin.
