the main "trick" here is to have a solid unbricking strategy. if you have an external flasher, or a device with a clever vendor firmware, the worst that will happen is you get to curse and waste an hour of your time. i wouldnt even recommend applying me_cleaner without _some_ strategy for recovering from a bad flash. > My questions being, seems like there is some kind of thing about needing a > computer build before 2012 to work properly. Is this true? not sure what that means. actualy, for chromebooks i would recommend "as new as possible". all chromebooks with enough oomph ship with coreboot. any documentation referencing Lewis tooling is outdated. if you just want to liberate a chromebook without doing own work on the firmware, MrChromebox tooling is the current way to go. > Anyone work with a specific Chrome Book?

Acer CB713 (more pixels, smaller storage) and CB714 (fewer pixels, more storage). both have 16GB ram. both are on the high end of the chromebook price range. both can be maddening with their (lack of) internal storage performance. all modern chromebooks with usbc also support external debug+flash through a suzyqable. very convenient if you want to explore custom firmware mods. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
