Thanks only this is working all the other instructions on google didnt work… Direct and simple instructions
I'm glad to hear that this guide helped you out!
Hello....I followed all you said here yet my USB flash drives got corrupted after the recovery utility completed
Hello, you might need to wipe the USB drive and attempt to install the recovery tool again. You might also want to check that the drive is formatted to FAT32. Other formats have been known to cause errors with the recovery tool.
Does it matter if it’s a 2.0 or 3.0 USB drive???
Hey there Josh,
Ideally you would want a USB 3.0 drive especially if the device that you are attempting to recover has USB 3.0. Hope this is helpful.
i dont think so, unless the usb port is usb 2.0 and you insert usb 3.0 or usb 3.1
Creates about 11 partitions on the USB? And CB311-10H isnt in the list?
Saya ingin memulihkan Acer chromebook c733 tanpa melalui administrator sekolah, bagaimana caranya?
Halo, sayangnya sebagian besar sekolah akan menggunakan Google Admin, atau perangkat lunak lain untuk mengelola Chromebook mereka, jadi memulihkannya tidak akan menghalangi sekolah untuk mengelolanya. Jika Anda membeli perangkat dari sekolah, sebaiknya bicarakan dengan departemen TI sekolah Anda agar perangkat tersebut dirilis dari Google Admin.
I think step 5 should be step 2
Are you attempting to find it using the specific model in the model list, or are you attempting to search for the model with the model number?
This info is simply WRONG ! The recovery tool requires that you are using your chromebook already. The software B4 it downloads tries to change the host hard drive. If your chromebook OS isnt working this wont help you !
Howdy there Steve, the utility tool is used through the Chrome Web Browser extension. The intent is that you use the tool to create a recover drive on a different computer than the one you are attempting to fix. Also, if you are having issues with the storage drive you are attempting to use is being detected by your computer, and is at least 8 GB.
