Firmware Script shows that firmware is unavailable to download even though it is manually downloadable. #403

Hi,

I'm trying to restore my firmware to it's stock version and I don't have the firmware file. I tried using the shellball option and it says it isn't available for my model (CELES). This is quite confusing because this link to directly download the CELES firmware works. Is there any reason the script might not be working?

Thanks.

returning to stock / shellball ROMs are not available for EOL devices, per the script documentation. If the file is on the server, it's only because I hadn't gotten around to removing it.

not going to reopen but since you hadn't removed it at the time, I forced the script to download it and flash it and it worked fine, just here to say that

obviously there's no technical limitation with going back to stock ChromeOS on an EOL device, it's just a terrible idea to be running an out of date OS/browser that isn't being updated anymore and won't get any more security fixes.
