Unable to remove root verification on Chrome OS v70 #10

Open Giinx opened 5 years ago

Giinx commented 5 years ago

I would like some help because I am unable to remove root verification on this version, when I run the command: *sudo /usr/share/vboot/bin/make_dev_ssd.sh --remove_rootfs_verification --partitions $(( $(rootdev -s | sed -r 's/.(.)$/\1/') - 1))** everythings appears to be okay but when I restart my chromebook and try to run RootandSEpatch.sh I get the error "Error! Unable to modify system! In order to modify system files, the Chrome OS system partition needs to have been mounted writeable (i.e. rootfs verification disabled)."

I would like some help with this please.

ok man its all good now I went stable>dev>stable and then ran the rootandsepatch script rebooted and it just worked this time didnt have to do anything else, and also about the A/B partition how will this affect me in the future? and is there anyway I can just make it go back to normal or something

Good. That's how it's supposed to work.

and also about the A/B partition how will this affect me in the future? and is there anyway I can just make it go back to normal or something

Oh, it is normal, it's how they've designed the update system. It most likely won't affect you ever unless if, for instance, you were running the rooting script while you had an update waiting, or maybe you are hacking around on the OS, changing other stuff around, then e.g. you change channel a few times real quickly. Even in that case, all that would likely happen would you'd need to re-do the thing you changed (it's just that if it does happen, it can be completely confusing at the time).

haha, yeah I can understand that after all of this. Although if you reboot it once, and everything still works, then at least you'll know it'll be OK from there on. Normally once it works, that's it, everything's fine (until the next major Chrome OS update, anyway).
