Acer Chromebook CB3-431-C5FM (Edgar)
I am trying to boot this computer from a USB drive and cannot figure out how to. Can someone please help me?
With that model of Chromebook, I think you need to install/update the RW_LEGACY Firmware before you can boot from USB.
See the web address: mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript
Ok, its 2 years later & I’m going to try again . .
what I am trying to do is boot and install a linux operating system into this chromebook. I googled around and found nothing that works with this model. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi
I am working on an Android Tablet device and I am looking into how to upgrade Android OS from an USB flash drive instead of using USB adb fastboot.
So, the tablet will look for a known file name from an external USB flash drive during its boot up. Once it found the upgrade image then it will proceed to OS upgrade like reflash the whole Android OS or simply update certain part of the OS.
Is that possible? Please kindly help me on this because I could not find any articles related over the internet.
Please let me know if I am at the wrong section.
Many thanks guy!
Is there a way to boot up Windows 10 install, on Android x86 tablet?
I really can't find any way to do it, and are new to this, but I really like to get win 10 on my teclast x98 3g.
And I can't figure it out from the Chinese posts, hope someone can help me.
It's my first post so i wanna say hello to all of you, xda community!
Actually i flashed so many smartphones before, but the chinese tablet just beat me.
So i got the A10 with bricked rom, because when i try to start it up, nothing happens, screen just lights for 1 second and then its dead .
My windows XP doesn't recognize the device, device manager shows "cant recognize the device, code 10".
And i cant install drivers using pdanet or ADB driver because i cannot start up the tablet.
Can someone send me the drivers so i can install it manually or is there another way to make it work?
[EDIT1]
I found this video youtube.com/watch?v=yizF2Y2NbbU (cant post link without 10 posts)
and i went to his site & forum (moveontechnology.com/hugoenchina-foros/index.php)
but there is no link for drivers or i just cant find it because i dont speak spain.

bump!
Really no one can help me?

I've spent all day and night trying various attempts to root my son's Nabi.
I usually use Mac so am also hogging my other son's PC to attempt to get it to work.
I think I've got a couple of issues but not sure if it's me or the PC -
1 - The PDAnet program won't connect properly it tells me HTC Sync error -1 or -2
So I tried an older version of Nabilab which did connect to the tablet and provided the serial number through both ADB and Fastboot.
2 - I managed to boot in to TWRP but then when trying to recover it won't show me any files to install
I'm at a complete loss now as to how to root it. I'm just fed up of having to delete games for him to make room for new ones, despite having 32GB of space on his SD card.
Please help, I'm pulling whats left of my hair out!
you still having issues? one thing to try when installing PDANet is to select the samsung drivers instead of the HTC, these worked fine for me, NabiLab2 and NABILABGUI also have some PC drivers which work with both x32 and x64 PC's, I'm not sure on the MAC side of things. Nabilab is probably the easiest way of just rooting also. theres a couple of videos on you tube which may also help search for nabilab and root nabi 2

What are you trying to recover or install? Once you find the right TWRP for your OS version should be as easy as installing SuperSU. https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

SOLVED The problem was that dev_boot_legacy and dev_boot_usb had been disabled. Without getting into ChromeOS there seemed to be no way to set them until I found a guide titled "Workaround for battery discharge in dev-mode" (I cannot post links yet). It worked like a charm and I've just booted into Linux Mint off USB.
I've been running Linux on my Acer C720 since day one and I love it, but a recent series of events has left me locked out of it. I'd love to get it running again but I cannot figure out a way back in. I'll break down a short history and recent events.
Acquired C720 and unlocked developer mode.
Installed several flavors of Debian, completely removing ChromeOS from the SSD, eventually settling with Arch Linux.
After enjoying Arch for a year decide to try out Qubes.
Something fails during Qubes installation.
Boot into a Debian live environment from USB. Debian cannot see my SSD.
Try a few different distros from USB, but fdisk et al. cannot see my SSD.
Now I highly doubt that Qubes broke my SSD. It was probably already faulty but my Arch install was chugging along and not using the bad sectors. This is where I think I locked myself out, I don't remember the exact order of things but I re-enabled OS verification at the boot screen, and attempted to run the ChromeOS recovery from a USB. The ChromeOS recovery also failed. I put the SSD in my desktop and confirm that it was indeed dead.
So now I have a Chromebook with OS Verification enabled and no SSD to restore ChromeOS on. Bummer. But I figured I could try some things, so I booted into recovery mode with Esc-Refresh(f3)-Power and hit Ctrl+D at the Recovery Screen, success! I was able to disable OS Verification. But this has not solved my issue...
When I boot I can press Ctrl+D to be taken to a screen that tells me Chrome OS is missing or damaged and to insert a recovery USB. If I insert a USB loaded with Linux I am told "The device you inserted does not contain Chrome OS." I have no m.2 SSD to put into the chrome book to recover it and start the process from a virgin state.
What I'd like to do at this point is use the Chromebook running my OS from a USB stick, at least until I can afford a new SSD which will not be for some time. Is there any way for me to do this?
have you tried Chrubuntu?

I have, but I have no interest in keeping ChromeOS around. The problem is solved anyway.
