Matt,
In my drunken stupor, I did something stupid (that it appears thousands of others have also done) and did not read your instructions fully. I performed a dual-boot install (ChromeOS + LibreELEC) without performing a factory reset. I know that this specific line is repeated at least a few times and is bolded. I am sorry for my stupidity.
As you would expect, the script ran fine both times, I chose the option to run OpenELEC with a boot delay of 1s. When my box rebooted, it sat at the booting from Hard Disk screen. At this point, I tried to rectify my mistake by using the recovery tool and a flash drive, but when the system "recovered", and I removed the flash drive, it just rebooted to the booting from Hard Disk screen, displays some other stuff real fast, and then goes to a black screen (box was still on) and sat there. Every time I rebooted, it did this. I tried a different flash drive and it did the same thing. I can boot up in developer mode just fine and "recover", but it will still never boot up the OS or perform a factory reset using the recovery button.
And just because I had nothing better to do, I plugged in the flash drive with the recovery data and booted the computer up normally. The first time I did this, it does an infinite loop between the chrome screen, the "OS verification is OFF" screen, and then the booting from hard disk screen. Pressing space at the OS verification screen does nothing. I reset the flash drive with the memory tool several times and did all of this over again, and one time it did boot up the OS and let me enter my wifi, but when I entered my gmail it just sat there "logging in". I eventually shut the box off and it never even booted the OS again.
So I have read over the wiki page and can't seem to find an answer to this specific problem... basically the recovery tool is not working properly. I would sincerely appreciate any help. Attached are some pictures that contain what may be useful information in diagnosis. Let me know if you can't view them.
