Does anyone know if this beta is going to include a fix for that fan speed problem?

I have a problem. I tried to update from Dual boot to stand alone.

So i have installed coreboot. and backed up the original firmware.

Then i have installed the standalone setup in the ez script. But Kodi is stuck in a bootloop now.

I cant get in the ez script anymore. CTRL -D and CTRL -L gives both the memory fault screen. Tried many times but cant get in.

ESC does work and when i try to install openelec it gives cant acces TTY.

I didnt "restore to factory defaults in chromeos"

What can i do?

EDIT:

Found in the WIKI how to revert back to stock.... going to try that first.

wait, what, why? sigh.

Everything is working fine. You can't run the script from OpenELEC (it doesn't have a full bash shell - why is why there is a separate firmware update script for OpenELEC users), and CTRL-D/CTRL-L only work with the stock firmware. OpenELEC doesn't have a local tty, you have to ssh in.

edit: to reinstall OpenELEC, all you have to do is boot the USB installer and reinstall from there. But I'm guessing clearing out the Kodi data via ssh would be sufficient.

The problem was the Hdmi handshake. When I wanted to boot from ubuntu. After firmware restore. The screen was black. So I thought it was bricked.
I have pushed in "in the black" on Esc, 2, enter. And there was Ubuntu.

After that Openelec install gave a problem. On a shitty usb stick.

But I am there... Standalone is working.

But.... The sleepmode (the reason I revert to stand-alone) is still a problem. It wakes up automatically.

I will post a log later on?

what does that mean? I just installed it from the OpenELEC unofficial add-ons repo, and it works fine (on 5.95.3 / VAAPI test builds)

Just bought an Asus Chromebox i3, a 128gb ssd, and flirc. I want to run standalone Openelec. Just wanna clarify a couple things before I start.

1. Do I have to install factory chrome on the new ssd in order to get into developer mode before I start the process of using ez script? Or is it possible to install Openelec fresh on the new ssd and be done?

2. Wanna make sure I can take write screw out when I swap the ssd, or does that need to be done late?

3. Once I get into ez script, I'll need to run option 6 then 7 then reboot, right? Then at reboot hit escape and boot from the USB drive to install open elec.

Appreciate the help! Kodi seems to have an amazing community.

I tried running the script from Ubuntu but is doesn't seem to work right. Do I have to do it from ChromeOS or is there a work around?

oops. just looked at it again. chromeos option only. bummer
