en Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 20,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn

en at the beginning I had a problem launching the extension. It was showing a message ''not supported''. I just uninstall and reinstall. Then I went directly to my extensions I clicked and it finally lunched the app. I rate 5 stars because my Chromebox recovered very fast. Very simple and easy to use. Thanks.

en As of July 14, 2023 this extension was working correctly if the user uses it correctly! I needed to burn a custom firmware onto an sd card using my chromebook. in order for this extension to recognize the firmware i had to rename it .bin as instructed by Arun Kumar in his tutorial "How to burn an ISO to a USB drive on Chromebook". It really was that simple.

en I have read all the reviews and recommendations, open Google as administrator, typed in the exact model, ran it on stable and still when I got to end and do it wouldn't finish writing onto the disk. Love my chromebook but this extension to help fix an issue took 2 hours of my life and a 9 pm trip to buy a disk I didn't use.

en Absolute Garbage. Downloads recovery tools but hangs at 0% when it comes time to download it to a usb device. have tried multiple devices. I should have expected this though, since Alphabet is a big proponent of the "You'll own nothing and be happy" Cabal. "Computer software outmoded? just buy a shiney new model that's still receiving updates!" "Want support? - lease this phone instead and you'll always have tech support!" "Why be YOU when you could be NEW!"
