Troubleshooting

Get started

Seriously, how did you run into an issue here? Make an issue on the GitHub repo for more help.

Downgrading (Any Version)

Help! I don’t have a personal computer with admin permissions and the Chromebook Recovery Utility extension is blocked!

Either get a friend to help you or else you’re SOL.

I don’t have a USB drive, can you send one to me?

No.

My USB drive is less than 8gb. Will it still work?

Yes. Use SH1mmer legacy instead.

Recovery outputs something about the drive being outdated

This means that, at some point, you’ve updated to v112 or higher. Use BadRecovery if your version is under v125.

Root Escalation (>v101)

No red prompt appears after running the root exploit!

You’re SOL. Recover again and try again.

set_cellular_ppp outputs “No Cellular Service Exists”!

Either you’re on a version where the set_cellular_ppp bug is patched (v101 or higher) or something else got messed up. Try downgrading again.

Root Escalation (v81 - Kiosk)

I can’t find my USB drive to load CHRWN from!

Reboot and try again. If it still doesn’t work, you’re (drumroll please…) SOL!

Sh1mmer

“This USB drive does not contain ChromeOS” appears upon trying to boot the shim!

Either you’ve upgraded past v112 (at which point SH1mmer is patched) or you downloaded the shim for the wrong board.

When I try to boot SH1mmer, it says I’m using a unoffical image!

You used a recovery image instead of a shim. Honestly, I’m not even going to tell you that you’re SOL this time.

LtBEEF

The script isn’t running on any page!

Either the site that LtBEEF is being loaded from is blocked, in which case you’re on a version where LtBEEF is patched, or you’re on the wrong page. Keep in mind that LtBEEF needs to be run on:

https://chrome.google.com/webstorex.

Murkmod

While Installing/Updating: Read-only Filesystem

Try recovering, unenrolling, then fakemurking and murkmodding again.

Depthboot

Troubleshooting for Depthboot coming soon.
