I'm adding it as an option to the script right now

If you've already installed OpenELEC (or anything else) in a standalone configuration, the easily way to flash the updated firmware will be via ChromiumOS, the open-source version of ChromeOS. Download the latest x86 version from here: http://chromium.arnoldthebat.co.uk/

then just download/run the script like you would in ChromeOS

which one should i download? This? OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-4.2.1

correct. If you download the .tar.gz, you need to unzip it, then run the 'create_installstick' utility; if you download the .img.gz, you need to unzip it, then write the image to USB using a tool like Win32diskimager

Hi Matt, on the wiki page the instructions say to download the AMD64os build and here you say to download the X86 version. Which one do I need to restore mine back to stock?

that post you quoted is *way* out of date; the wiki says to just re-run the script, or if running OpenELEC, to use the standalone firmware updater script from the OP.

x86_64 and AMD64 are synonymous, as the 64-bit extensions to the x86 instruction set were (originally) developed by AMD. OpenELEC (and most of linux) uses the former notation, but the ChromiumOS builds are labeled with the latter.

Sorry for the newby questions and thanka again, Randy

The odd thing is it was running for quite some time with the boot screen up while I was making another bootable usb on my laptop but shortly after I rebooted into OpenELEC/XBMC it shut down and once again no light, no power...nothing. BTW when I was monitoring the temp the other day it said it was 137 degrees F not C if that makes a difference? I wish I could narrow this down to a replaceable component and not junk the whole box.
Again, your help is appreciated. Thanks

137°F isn't a problem at all, so don't think we're dealing with a thermal protection issue. I'd reload the stock firmware / ChromeOS (see wiki) and see if it misbehaves there. If so, have the box replaced under warranty.

what exactly are you trying to do?

sorry, hard to keep track sometimes.

follow the instructions on the wiki; use the AMD64OS build. Also, sent you a PM
