Great video helped alot. If you dont have the backup rom thats ok all you would need is the Ubuntu one and the chrome recovery usb and you would just say you dont have the backup and it will create one for you when reinstalling through the terminal.
Thank you very much..... Just a note.. if you havent made a backup of your previous ChromeOS installation, you can skip the extra step of restoring from the backup media. That will be one less disk but you will then have a clean installation with no previous history.
Hello, I followed you instructions step by step but when i have to choose 6 for full restore the "enter" button doesn't work any more. So when i click 6 en then "enter" the "enter" button deleted the 6. What can i do?
Is there a workaround If we don't have the old ROM? I did this to my Chromebook a couple years ago, I was trying to get the device back to normal, but I didn't have the ROM anymore. Is there any way to still go back to the old OS, my model is CB3-111-C670.
When I installed linux and do this steps - I can choose only 1 way - 6) Restore Stock Firmware (Full) - in terminal. But, when I press "6" - in doesn`t work...I can choose only C-to clear NVRAM. R-reboot. P-to poweroff. Q-to quit... Maybe you have any recommendation to fix it?
Awesome content!! Would be great to have a video on how to mount audio / bluetooth / keylayout drivers due to systems incompatabilites… i was swithching from Chrome on my HP Chromebook to Bliss/Prime OS and didn’t have working sound or bluetooth…
I find it better to use the mrchromebox scrip better than coolstar, I had trouble using ubuntu 18.04 because of the new ubuntu upgrades and bad internet connection this day but with patients I restored my chromebook.
You're amazing dude, i have tried both version (upgrade to windows into chrome os, and now downgrade and go back to chrome os), work very wel if you folow good all the steps, thank you very much dude, greetings again from Holland :) take care ;)
Hey so I did everything but after rebooting my computer at the end my screen is just perma black, did I just break my computer? The power light is on and my screen flickers for a second but nothing comes up after that I tried force shutting down and holding power and refresh :/
i installed window on separate hard drive. i also have chrome os ssd hard drive. if i insert chrome os drive in chromebook and remove window drive then we follows these steps?
Hey I know this is an old video, but I’m trying to do your method but keep getting stuck on the “cd ~; curl -L -O” command. I’ve input it exactly as you have in the video but it tells me the following: “unable to read current firmware; cannot continue. Either add ‘iomem=relaxed’ to your kernel parameters or trying from a Live USB with a more permissive kernel (eg, Ubuntu).” Any ideas? I tried editing the kernel parameters, but that requires me to reboot the system, which resets the parameters.. I tried fully installing Ubuntu but the message still pops up.
I just restored a Dell Chromebook 11 to stock. I only needed two flash drives. One for the recovery media and a second for Ubuntu. I did not have a ROM backup but I found upon running the script that it would download the appropriate ROM and proceed with the install.
I just did the same, thanks for commenting so I knew it could be done! It tells you to go back and launch that terminal script again to reset the terminal boot flags after installing the chrome os. I did that by just going to chrome setup after installing and putting in my network info. After that screen don't continue with setup and hit CTRL-ALT-F2. That brings up a command prompt. Enter username chronos. Then download and run the same script. Now Go to where it says set boot options GBB flags. Should be numero 2. Then I hit 5 to reset flags to default. Then after reboot you are all set and ready to run through normal chrome os setup.
little question im stuck at the biot screen i dont know what to do i tried everything it said press esc in 5 seconds i do ot and nothing happens please help me
Is there a way to just install the unbuntu with this... I keep trying to boot unbuntu but I keep getting a UEFI error, which I found out that had something to do with secure boot but with this Bois theres no way to turn secure boot off? Any help from just stick with Linux would be great thank you
A lot of that will depend on your Chromebook's processor. I've got a couple of videos that might help. ruclips.net/video/kXnU_S5ZNJQ/видео.html (just put a linux USB in instead of a Windows USB) Or this one: ruclips.net/video/AxsckwmRhfw/видео.html
you can just factory data reset the computer and its going to go back to chrome os because the BIOS has a backup of its firmware so yeah you dont need to enter other OS's just to do all of that non-sense
Thanks a bunch man... but you could also use 2 flashdrives, the only difference will be, when you are done reinstalling the firmware and have unplugged the flashdrive containing the original backed up firmware, you could use that flash to create a bootable chrome OS from google and Voila... this is if, like me, you only have two flashdrives at hand and are in a dire need..
When I press 6 to restore the stock firmware it asks me to insert the USB drive and press enter so I do that and then it asks me to type the number of the device that contains the firmware and after i do that I see another message saying "No firmware files found on the USB
A USB hub goes a long way when you have your battery out to unlock ROM write on a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2. Place a standard adapter on the hub to change the plug to USB C and insert on the LEFT side, keeping your power cord plugged into the RIGHT side. 😊
Hey! I read some of the descriptions of the Windows and Chromebooks Videos and it seems it has not been answered(At least to me) If you are just stuck on the screen with the rabbit from the first video(How to install Windows 10 on Chromebook), Would you have to have the ROM on 1 USB and Then the Image on another, or could you just use the Image to restore the Chromebook. Not the best with tech so thought I could get some help and more info from you.
If you're stuck on the rabbit screen and you want to go back to stock, you basically have to (from my experience) use a Linux distro to run the commands to get the ROM installed back on your Chromebook correctly. I'm about 99% positive you can't just put the ROM USB in and have it go back to stock.
@@DBTechYT I did not need a USB to get to the Rabbit screen, so please tell instructions to get me back to factory reset without a USB. You led me into this and you will lead me out. I will contact RUclips if I have to.
This video IS the instructions on how to get back to stock. Threatening me won't get you anywhere good. You made the decisions that led you hear. I didn't MAKE you do anything. Contact RUclips if you want. I promise that won't get you anywhere. Watch this video in its entirety and follow along. As long as you made a backup of the ROM, you can get back to stock in just a few minutes.
Hi David , I followed your video and got my Dell Chromebook 11 3180 back to Chrome OS from Chrome OS flex . I would have liked to have kept Flex but when I installed it I had no sound . Now I'm back to Chrome OS it always starts with the warning screen " OS missing or Damaged please insert Recovery USB stick or SD Card" Also in the upper left hand corner there is what looks like part of the screen missing with part of the Terminal showing . Any Ideas would be appreciated . Thank you . By the way I'm not blaming you for any of this , I am learning that each make and model of Chromebook is a little different. Oh , great video by the way .
I need help on how to go back to Chrome OS, I am at the part where the yellow part is at, and it says startup.nsh as well as shell. Do I need to use another computer, if so do I need multiple usbs. I still have my chrome OS saved on a separate USB.
If you have your BIOS backed up and you want to go back, then you can follow this tutorial, but you'll need another USB with Ubuntu on it. Or you can install Windows by following along with this follow-up video I made: ruclips.net/video/hiiDlynlOOY/видео.html

Hello! I follow this video to go back to Chrome OS. After restoring Chromebook, there are some keys on the keyboard that don't work. How can you help please!

Hello, I did the same steps to return to chrome, I reinstalled the firmware that I had in my memory and so far everything was fine, until when I gave it a restart it sent me the black screen error that it gave you, but when I turned it on again it did not start , it turns on but the screen does not start, what could it be?
Hey man, i've seent your video about removing windows en restoring chrome os and i tried to that but i found out that i didnt make the backup of chrome os so i am stuck new in ubutu. Do you have an solution?
Yeah. You could stick with using Linux (Ubuntu or Gallium are my suggestions) on your Chromebook or you can install CloudReady. CloudReady is Google Chrome but distributed by a company called Neverware. I've already uploaded a video about CloudReady, but it won't go live until Wednesday.
Is it an sulution to grab another chrome (same model etc.) Becouse i have another one here in my home and to make an backup there wile set there windows on and that backup i will copie that on a nother usb stick and set both chromebooks back to chrome os? Is that an working idea?
It is an option. I never suggest that because most people don't have 2 of the same Chromebook laying around, but yeah, you could do that. Just get your currently working Chromebook to the point where you backup the ROM and then use that to restore both Chromebooks back to stock if you want.

That sucks. It's why I've made multiple videos on the subject. Sounds like you didn't watch them all. But, again, blowing up my comments section isn't going to get you anywhere with me. Maybe you need to try windows 10 version 1803 as it's more likely to boot on a Chromebook. I made a video about how to download that too.

Hey, got an Acer 15 CB3-532 with this issue brought to my attention. I don’t have a USB media that has the ROM for the original BIOS since it was brought to me with this issue of Windows on Chromebook. Can I still recover it with just the Chrome Recovery USB and Ubuntu USB following these steps?
Believe it or not, "it gave me a error" doesn't give us ANYTHING that we can use to help you. If you're looking for help, you need to tell us EXACTLY what the issue is.
My dumb*ss thought it would be a good idea to reinstall chromeos with the chromebook recovery utility with a modified firmware and custom OS. I can't open boot menu and I can't flash the chromebook using the chromebook recovery utility. What should I do now??
Is it possible to restore my Chrome os if I don't have windows installed ? I'm still at the shell boot screen with the rabbit. Instead of putting windows 10 on a bootable drive could I add Chrome ?

The download and run commands are run in sequence when you type in: cd ~; curl -L -O coolstar.org/chromebook/setup-firmware.sh && sudo bash setup-firmware.sh Make sure you type that command EXACTLY as shown. Capitalization matters and so do spaces and make sure that you use a ~ after the "cd" and not a -.
"dont work for me :O .... anyone can help me ?" doesn't tell us anything. What happened? What error messages did you get? The more you tell us, the more we can help. Be descriptive and tell us the EXACT error messages you get. Don't paraphrase them. The details are the in the exact error messages.

im connnected to wifi and all that but i keep ending up here this is about the 12th time ive tried both using sudo apt install curl and sudo apt-get install curl
okay. did some research on this.
Sounds like you might need to try a couple of commands.
try this:
sudo apt-get clean
and then try installing curl.
If that doesn't work, then try running this:
sudo apt-get update
There is more information about this same error here:

I hope this helps. Let me know what you find out.

do i need to use ubuntu to flash the bios if im recovering from gallium os or can i just use gallium os for iy
Hey, got an Acer 15 CB3-532 with this issue brought to my attention. I don’t have a USB media that has the ROM for the original BIOS since it was brought to me with this issue of Windows on Chromebook. Can I still recover it with just the Chrome Recovery USB and Ubuntu USB following these steps?
Some people have said they were able to do it that way
How to return stock firmware chrome os for Dell Chromebook 11 3120 ?
did not work it wont read my usb and when it did it gave me a error and this just dose not work as a script anymore, well for me anyway.
Believe it or not, "it gave me a error" doesn't give us ANYTHING that we can use to help you. If you're looking for help, you need to tell us EXACTLY what the issue is.
Dear i have one usb port on my ( Asus Chromebook C223NA-GJ0006 ). How to solve this problem and i am waiting for your answer.
Get a USB hub
My dumb*ss thought it would be a good idea to reinstall chromeos with the chromebook recovery utility with a modified firmware and custom OS. I can't open boot menu and I can't flash the chromebook using the chromebook recovery utility. What should I do now??
Is it possible to restore my Chrome os if I don't have windows installed ? I'm still at the shell boot screen with the rabbit. Instead of putting windows 10 on a bootable drive could I add Chrome ?
Try this: ruclips.net/video/5Ahz3v7hOBQ/видео.html

Thank you, brother.
I wish I could work with you.
I hope the video was helpful.

Hey um when I put in my usb it tell me to format it even though I do it it just delete everything on the usb and it says 10 mb
Then you need to open "Computer Management", go to "Disk Management", find your USB drive, and remove all the partitions on it.
Muchísimas gracias amigo saludos desde Guatemala
No me quisieras apoyar por favor !! tambien soy de Guatemala
gracias
Hello, is there a way to do this without the backup ROM? I bought the pc from someone so I don't have any backups.
You MIGHT be able to create a Chromebook Restore USB and restore the device that way, but I've never actually done it that way
i downloaded the link but i get this bash: setup-firmware.sh: No such file or directory
The download and run commands are run in sequence when you type in:
cd ~; curl -L -O coolstar.org/chromebook/setup-firmware.sh && sudo bash setup-firmware.sh
Make sure you type that command EXACTLY as shown. Capitalization matters and so do spaces and make sure that you use a ~ after the "cd" and not a -.
@@DBTechYT :( dont work for me :O .... anyone can help me ?
"dont work for me :O .... anyone can help me ?" doesn't tell us anything. What happened? What error messages did you get? The more you tell us, the more we can help. Be descriptive and tell us the EXACT error messages you get. Don't paraphrase them. The details are the in the exact error messages.
I would like to install Windows 7 (the disk memory is only 16gb) but I have a BIOS problem with AHCI. Please help.
Then your Chromebook might not be compatible with what you want to do.
you forgot that you need to reset gbb flags as well, great vid tho

goodday. i have an error on the part when im at ubuntu terminal where i type sudo apt install curl. it says that "failed to fetch archive" somethig. what do i do? hoping for your response
Sounds like you may not be connected to the internet, but "'failed to fetch' something" isn't super helpful in troubleshooting.
Terminal is telling me that package curl is no longer available 😢
have you tried just running the curl command that is in the instructions?
Any way to do it with one usb drive
