Get ready!
  • Press [ Ctrl ] [ Alt ] [ T ] to get to the crosh shell prompt on the chromebook (See first image). Note: these first 3 shell images were captured via cloudready which is a chromeos workalike not an actual chromebook but are identical for our purposes here.

  • Use the "shell" command to get to the shell prompt. Just type "shell" into the prompt and press enter (see second shell screen image).

  • Type the following (or cut and paste into a single command line... see third shell screen image). I include the full command in the next bullet point...

  • cd; curl -LO https://mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh && sudo bash firmware-util.sh

  • Press enter on above command line when you are ready to start converting your chromebook to a fully functional general purpose personal computer.
