Updating MrChromebox Custom Firmware

IMPORTANT

The Firmware Utility Script can only be run from ChromeOS or Linux. If you are using Windows, boot a live Linux ISO (such as Ubuntu or Fedora) from USB and run the script from there.

NOTE

The curl application is not installed by default on some Ubuntu / Ubuntu-based distros. To install it, run: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y curl

  1. Run the Firmware Utility Script:
    • From a terminal, run: cd; curl -LO mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh && sudo bash firmware-util.sh and press [ENTER].
  2. Choose option 1: Install/Update UEFI (Full ROM) Firmware and press [ENTER].
  3. Follow the prompts.
  4. Assuming no errors occur, reboot your device.
