Possible to build PrawnOS into a ChromeOS recovery image? #284

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

Hi, I have a Librebooted C201P and I broke my PrawnOS install while having USB boot disabled. Google's official ChromeOS recovery images don't work (something about needing to run cgpt repair because the GPT headers are invalid, screenshot). As far as I understand, recovery images are validated by checking the kernel signature. Is there any way to use the official recovery kernel to boot into the PrawnOS installer, or whatever Linux shell? My chromebook is currently bricked, so any help would be very much appreciated.

This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I always have a ton of trouble doing ChromeOS recovery on any Chromebook. I believe that the process can be very finicky about the SD card/USB thumb drive used. I end up having to grab a ton of different media and trying it repeatedly using different machines to write the recovery media and different SD cards/USB drives until the recovery actually works on the bricked Chromebook.
