[tekno]

Maybe what is needed is a clear and concise explanation of the options and how they apply to different ChromeBoxes in the form of a manual/.

I do not see anything like a user manual even at MrChromebox.tech 

WHen I ask here the partial response I receive only seems to confuse me even further.

Also there many pages with differing (old?) versions of how to use this. If it were properly documented and updated in one place, it would be helpful.



My question now is how to get my chromebox back to some normal config. 

I would ultimately like to get Kodio in a stand-alone configuration on the SSD and nothing has worked. when installing to SSD. It does however work installing to 1TB external disk from installer .

Running the Libreelec installer created from the menu has also not worked just giving a kernel argument error

please explain how the documentation in the first post and my website are unclear and I'll do my best to improve it.

A standalone setup is dead simple: install the custom coreboot/UEFI firmware, reboot, and install LE from your install media.

You refer to your "Quick Start Overview"?

Quick Start / Overview
---------------------------------------

For a dual-boot setup, you will need to perform the following steps: What about a standalone boot?
Open the ChromeBox and remove the write-protect screw

Put the ChromeBox in developer mode

Perform a factory reset using Google's recovery tools

Download/run the Kodi E-Z Setup Script, choose desired dual boot configuration, select partition size  (more explanation of these recovery tools would be helpful). What tools and how to install or access

(reboot and allow ChromeOS to "repair" itself after partition resizing)

Download/run the Kodi E-Z Setup Script again, choosing the same dual boot configuration option, install LibreELEC or GalliumOS

Reboot and verify dual boot functionality by manual selecting legacy boot option ([CTRL-L) [font]This did not work only got a kernel parameter argument error [/font]

Reboot to ChromeOS, use Kodi E-Z Setup Script to select desired default OS, boot delay (optional)






For a standalone setup, you will need to perform the following steps:
Open the ChromeBox and remove the write-protect screw

Put the ChromeBox in developer mode

Download/run the Kodi E-Z Setup Script

Select the Standalone / coreboot Install option, which will backup your stock firmware/BIOS and flash a custom one

Create install media for desired OS. Script includes option to create install media for LibreELEC

Power off ChromeBox

Connect/plug-in USB install media (if not using LibreELEC media you just created)

Power on ChromeBox, Press [ESC] from boot menu, select USB device (no longer needed with UEFI firmware; USB devices will boot automatically)

Install LibreELEC, GalliumOS, or your OS of choice

To run LibreELEC off a USB/SD device, you will need to perform the following steps:
Open the ChromeBox and remove the write-protect screw

Put the ChromeBox in developer mode

Download/run the Kodi E-Z Setup Script, select option to Install LibreELEC on USB 
This would be an excellent place for a direct link to the CURRENT script

Reboot and verify legacy boot functionality by manual selecting legacy boot option ([CTRL+L) Here is what I believe is a BUG! When installing to USB media This script should check to see if there is an installation on internal media. If so that should be cleaned up before installing to USB

Hit ESC, select USB device from which to boot. My odd but working installation, I tell it to boot to USB but it appears I have no Libreelec install on my USB disk. Apparently it is finding my first install attempt on the internal drive now 

Reboot to ChromeOS, use Kodi E-Z Setup Script to select desired default OS, boot delay (optional) 


Again what  to do when something goes wrong?

I see no options to uninstall or revert
