I hoped google provided a *working* tool. No, it chooses to get stuck on 0% writing/erasing medium. Tested on Win11, Chrome, different mediums, with admin privilages, reboots, medums formatted etc. Where can I get a choice of os images to download so I can use some tool that actually works, like Rufus? |

I mean it does what it's supposed to but why is there two versions of the app, and why is the none verified version (this one) linked in the Google documentation. If I'm being honest that's a little concerning to me. Verified Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromebook-recovery-utili/jndclpdbaamdhonoechobihbbiimdgai |

PNaCl (a chrome module this extension uses) is being remove in Chrome 117 >> https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions/c/v8H1UHnPotY so it is expected that this extension will no longer work in a a few days after 117 is released. Does anyone know of a replacement? |

Chromebookのリカバリーディスクを作ろうと思い、この拡張機能をダウンロードしてみましたが、Linuxに対応していませんと出て使えませんでした。Windowsでは問題なく使えたので、Linuxも対応したら星5です。 |

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. |
